Review Winslow Woods Sketch Plan DATE: February 20, 2014 INTRODUCTION The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to review and consider the park dedication requirements for the proposed Winslow Woods Sketch Plan which is located south of Sophie's South development. DISCUSSION A copy of the sketch plan is in the side pocket of your packet for review. The sketch plan does include an area of park adjacent to Sophie's Park. Sophie's Park is identified on the attached map. Public Works Staff have reviewed the sketch plan and recommends that no additional park land be dedicated in addition to the Sophie's Park due to the existing wetlands that has been identified on the sketch plan. Staff is recommending a 20 foot wide trail easement or park land access from Winslow Woods for access to Sophie's Park (see attached drawing). If any of the property in this general area is dedicated as park, the cash portion that is due for the remainder of the park dedication will be calculated based on the formula per City Code 11 -3 -7 (C). The more land required to be dedicated the lesser the park dedication fee portion will be. ACTION REQUIRED The Park and Recreation Commission is to review and consider the park dedication requirements for the proposed Winslow Woods Sketch Plan. Respectfully submitted, Todd J.
