The subdivision is to be located north of CSAH 50 and directly south of Farmington High School as shown on the location map and Exhibit A included in the packet. Lennar is proposing to dedicate 0.84 acres of parkland (Outlot D), as shown on Exhibits B and C. The proposed parkland is located adjacent to Flagstaff Meadows Park, on the north side of the trail and north of the existing shade structure. The proposed parkland is bisected by an identified wetland, depicted by cross hatching in Exhibit C. Due to the presence of the wetland, the City would be unable to develop a portion of this area for park purposes. Per Ordinance 2024-08 11-4-9: Public Park, Trails, and Open Space Dedication (Ordinance) (B) Land to Be Dedicated: •2 ii. The City shall not be required to accept land which will not be usable for parks, trails or open space or which would require extensive expenditures on the part of the City to make them usable. •2 iii. The City will not give park dedication credit for floodplains, wetlands, stormwater ponding areas, land encumbered by gas pipeline or other utility easements, slopes of more than twenty percent (20%) grade or for required sidewalks or walkways within road rights of way. The Ordinance is included in the packet. Based on the Ordinance, the Sawyer Glenn development is required to dedicate 4.95 acres of parkland and/or cash in lieu of land. Lennar is proposing a combination of land dedication and cash in lieu of land to meet this requirement. The Flagstaff Meadows Park master plan, approved by City Council in August 2022, is Page 15 of 33 included in the packet. The master plan identifies future park expansion to the north and west include will Glenn Sawyer subdivision develop. properties surrounding as The residential development north and west of Flagstaff Meadows Park.

Flagstaff Meadows Park is currently 2.92 acres and includes: •Playground equipment and swings •Shade structure •Picnic tables and benches •Dog waste station •Park sign •Walking trails and loops •Open green space •Free Wi-Fi Due to the presence of wetlands that limit usability, staff does not recommend accepting the proposed parkland dedication and instead require the full park dedication obligation to be met through cash in lieu of land. The commission is asked to review the information, ask any questions they have, discuss, and make a recommendation to (1) accept the combination of proposed parkland and cash in lieu or (2) require cash in lieu of land only for the park dedication requirement.
