ITEM 8 Village Creek 4 th Addition preliminary and final plat
Meridian Land Holding has submitted a preliminary and final plat named Village Creek 4th Addition.
The subdivision is located in the southeast corner of Aronson Park. The plat consists of 16 single - family
lots on 4.5 acres of land. Park dedication requirements were satisfied in the original Village Creek
Addition with the dedication of several acres for Village Creek Park. The lots in question were not
developed due to the lack of an available high water pressure system. These lots are located on the
top of a large hill, reducing the opportunity for necessary water pressure. The developer is proposing
to provide a high water pressure line through Aronson Park from 202 Street to the project site for a
$50,000 fee which will be used for improvements that have been long- delayed within Aronson Park.
Examples include: Boring water to the Aronson Park building and getting off the existing well system,
designing and installing additional parking and share - costing final dugout roof installation on Fields #5-
8. Staff is working with Brauer & Associates on preliminary designs and will bring it to the Parks
Committee later in the year.
