ATTACHMENTS: Location Map, Akron Ridge - Site Plan APPROVED BY: DLS RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to recommend that the developer pay a fee in-lieu of land to meet the parks dedication requirements. Staff also does recommend that an 8-foot-wide trail be benched in on the west side of development along Akron Avenue. The developer will also provide the City with a payment to cover the cost of installing the trail. The amount that is paid will be agreed upon by City staff and the developer. BACKGROUND A developer recently submitted plans for a 58-unit townhouse project on the east side of Akron Avenue and north of the Flint Hills Athletic Complex. Staff has reviewed the plans (attached) and has the following comments: Local Trails and Sidewalks The sidewalk amenities appear to be designed in a manner that works toward the City’s goal of having a well-connected community. Staff does recommend that an 8-foot-wide trail be benched in on the west side of development along Akron Avenue. The developer will also provide the City with a payment to cover the cost of installing the trail. The amount that is paid will be agreed upon by City staff and the developer. Parks Dedication Because the City is not looking to acquire parkland in this development, the parks dedication for this development would be cash in-lieu of land. The cash dedication for 58 medium density units @ $2,850 per units would be $165,300. RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending that the developer pay a fee in-lieu of land to meet the parks dedication requirements. Staff also does recommend that an 8-foot-wide trail be benched in on the west side of development along Akron Avenue.

They are behind on the RCC office work and have not started yet on the translucent arena wall panels. Once they get going with the cosmetic work in the parks and recreation office things should move quickly. We are hoping for a spring “move back.” Life Time Project – The facility opened in late December and things have been going well at Life Time. Staff is hearing many positive comments about the operations. The facility appears to usually have a pretty full parking as one would expect. RECOMMENDATION None Page 10 of 10
