The revised preliminary plat of Dodd Valley Estates has been expanded to consist of 98 single family lots. The plat is located on the south side of Dodd Blvd. between Flagstaff Avenue. and Pilot Knob Road. Staff feels that existing park facilities which are within athree-quarter mile radius are sufficient to serve the residents of this plat. As areas to the east which are currently outside the MUSA continue to develop, there may be a need for a small neighborhood park of two to three acres. Staff stated there are several nearby recreational facilities including • Dodd Trail Park, Independence Park and Meadow Brook Park and opportunities for safe roadway crossings and trails are provided. Committee member Messinger stated that she anticipates future residents of Dodd Valley Estates may feel that area parks are too far to walk to and .may make requests for a park in their area. Staff stated that a search area is not within this plat and the sidewalk along Fairgreen Avenue and numerous trails in the area will provide access to parks and other recreational facilities. 98.16 Motion was made by Raymond, seconded by Bonn, to recommend City Council approve the revised prelminary plat of Dodd Valley Estates -and require a cash contribution to satisfy the park and trail dedication requirements. In addition it is recommended that the developer be required to construct afive-foot sidewalk on the west side of Fairgreen Avenue and escrow funds for future trail development along Dodd Boulevard.
