Consider and act upon clarification of parkland dedication for the Kreymer Park Development. Superintendent Diaz stated that this item was initially approved by the Parks and Recreation Board at the July 13, 2015 meeting. City Council subsequently tabled the item at their August 11, 2015 meeting requesting additional clarification from the Parks and Recreation Board on certain proposed development details. City Council's questions were as follows: 1. Were entry feature items included in the developer, Amalgamated Properties' parkland item cost estimate? 2. Is the developer including the .15-acre parcel on the east side of the development as part of the parkland dedication? 3. Does the proposed trail area and open space comply with the 2010 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan and 2012 Trails Master Plan? Question 1: Superintendent Diaz explained that the original cost estimate provided to the Board by the developer totaled $321,280.00 because the proposed entry feature items were included in with the required parkland dedication items. This led City Council to request clarification, whether the value of these items should or should not be comingled. Therefore, to clarify this point, the entry feature items were removed from the cost estimate reflecting a more accurate total in the amount of$215,020.00. The parkland dedication improvements totaling $215,020.00 in combination with the 6.42 acres of land dedication will satisfy the parkland dedication requirement. Question 2: Superintendent Diaz clarified that the .15 acre open space area in question was indeed not included in the 6.42 acres of land dedication.
