The purpose of this case is to continue the process of defining how the proposed sixth community park, within the proposed Trott Brook Crossing subdivision may serve Ramsey residents in the future. Staff is in the process of refining the earlier, first draft concept plans, and also collecting estimates for future park development and for the barn's future use as a public space. These will be presented at the meeting.

The Park Dedication and Trail Fee recommendation to City Council for the Trott Brook Crossing occurred in October of 2021.  To reiterate, this next level of planning by the Commission may generate useful information for the Trott Brook Crossing plat and future Development Agreement (like topography for the mass grading and turf establishment for the athletic fields)—but is not part of any condition of the plat's approval.

The October 2021 Park & Recreation Commission case is the first attachment.  This, together with City Council's Public Hearing case scheduled for January 11th, 2022 should be consulted for important background information.

Future park and trail improvements will have the funding source identified within the Capital Improvement Program.

Staff recommends comment on any level of park planning and design as presented at the meeting, and also would note that most actual park development would occur two to five + years into the future if City Council approves the Preliminary Plat for Trott Brook Crossing on January 11th.

By consensus or motion, provide feedback on preliminary park designs, and on future park development costs and revenue.
