ITEM #6. Mallard Shores 2 Addition final plat.
Mallard Shores plat is located on the northeast corner of Pilot Knob and
th
170 Street. The site is approximately 40 acres. The original plat
proposed to construct 180 townhouse units. The Park Dedication
requirements included credits for the park of the Tutewohl mediated
settlement. The developer is now requesting final plat for all the remaining
lots in the sub-division. As a result, the developer will be required to pay
the final park dedication fee of $79,500. The developer will be required to
grade the greenway trail corridor bench on the entire east side of the plat
th
from 170 Street north to the proposed park parking lot. The developer
also mined gravel from the south part of Tutewohl park property and will be
required to complete fill, grading and seeding of the entire site as soon as
possible but no later than September 15. The City is waiting to pave the
th
trail along 170 Street and Pilot Knob Road until discussion is complete on
County road issues. Committee member Goodwin questioned the
non-compliance of the outstanding issues associated with the first addition
improvements which need to be resolved. Staff indicated the fine grading
was not done but would be completed by the developer.
