ANALYSIS: In lieu of dedicating an improved access easement from S.R. A.I.A. to the river, the owners have agreed to dedicate to the County's Park Development Fund $8,200 at the time of the final plat ap- proval. The $8,200 amount is based on an Armfield-Wagner ap- praisal (see attachment #3) of the fair market value of the required 15' wide improved access easement. The Property Apprais- er's office and the County's Right -of -Way Agent have verified (see attachment #4) that the appraisal is a reasonable estimate of the raw land value of the required easement and the Public Works Department has verified that the cost estimate for an improved pedestrian walkway is reasonable. Dedication of the appraisal value is adequate for satisfying the public access requirement of Section 10(r) of the subdivision ordinance, if accepted by the Board of County Commissioners. If the lawsuit outcome is known prior to final plat approval for this project, then the County will address all active condition re- quirements accordingly. If the outcome is not known at the time of final plat approval, then the dedicated monies will be held ''in escrow" by the County pending the ultimate disposition of the County's ordinance requirements and active condition requirements. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the offer to dedicate $8,200 to the park development fund at the time of final plat approval for this phase of Sandpointe Subdivi- sion, in lieu of requiring a public, river access easement, subject to the following condition: 1. that if the lawsuit outcome is known -at the time of final plat approval, the disposition of the water access requirement and related active condition requirements at the time of final plat approval shall apply to the proposed dedication; if the lawsuit outcome is not known at the time of final plat approval, then dedicated funds shall be escrowed pending the final disposition of the water access requirement and related active condition requirements. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously (4-0), Commissioner Bird being absent, approved the re- quest by Sandpointe Unit II Subdivision to dedicate funds in lieu of public access easement for Sandpointe Unit II Subdivision (Riverside), as set out in the above staff recommendation.
