2006 Parks, Trails and Open Space Plan - City of Lakeville

3. In review of the park search areas against the roadway system and 2020 land
use patterns, four neighborhood park search areas have been identified.
a. In the southwestern portion of District 3, east of Cedar Avenue, a park
search area is recommended. This area is located outside Greenridge
Park service area and is isolated from other park service areas by Cedar
Avenue and Dodd Boulevard. This park should be located south of 179 th
Street adjacent to existing City owned parcels utilized for stormwater
management purposes related to the adjacent Crossroads development.
The 2020 Land Use Plan identifies low, medium, and medium to high
density residential land uses for this portion of District 3, suggesting a
significant increase in future population.
b. The second neighborhood park search area is located between Flagstaff
Avenue and Pilot Knob Road, north of the future extension of 179 th Street.
This park will provide facilities for existing and future neighborhoods south
of 170 th Street and the existing greenway bisecting the section . The land
use plan guides future development of low and medium density land uses
for the undeveloped areas adjacent to the future 179 th Street corridor.
This park should provide for trail connections to 179 th Street and the
existing greenway.
c. The third neighborhood park search area is in the southeast quadrant of
170 th Street and Pilot Knob Road. This search area is divided by MUSA
staging areas. As such, this park search area may take a low priority.
Future location of the neighborhood park should consider a close proximity
to North Creek and a new major storm water holding pond as a means of
integrating the active park with attractive natural features of the area.
d. The fourth neighborhood park search area is within the Spirit of Brandtjen
Farm development. The location of the neighborhood park is identified on
the Spirit of Brandtjen Farm PUD Land Use Plan and is anticipated to be
dedicated to the City as part of a future phase of the subdivision after
2010.
4. Due to the numbers of higher functional classification streets that traverse District
3, the trail system will be a critical element of the district’s recreational and
transportation system. Trail emphasis should be given to the following corridors:
a. Continuation of MPTWs south along the east side of Cedar Avenue.
b. Future MPTWs along both sides of Pilot Knob Road south of 170 th Street.
