amendment to provide fencing in the orchard area. However, staff assumes that future discussion with an orchard operator may result in a request for fencing at various locations and these can be evaluated at that time. • Evaluate fire safety vehicle and equipment access to the Orchard and buffer areas. Staff Response — Staff concurs with this comment and will conduct a project review as part of its discussion with an Orchard operator and this matter will be addressed during that time. • Reevaluate the types of trees and planting plan for the buffer area adjacent to rear yards on Laguna Creek Lane to address residents' desired view preferences. Staff Response — Staff concurs with this comment and recommends an amendment to include a neighborhood meeting as part of the hedgerow design process. In addition to the above, staff is recommending additional amendments as follows: . Indicate a trail connection to Township Square just east of 1-680 consistent with the City's Trails Master Plan. . Installation of a split rail fence along Laguna Creek Lane and Valley Avenue in Sub- Area 7 consistent with the split rail fence current installed along Valley Avenue at the Oak Woodlands. Project Phasing and Magnitude of Phase I Cost As indicated in the Master Plan and the April 12, 2018 Parks and Recreation Commission agenda reports, the Master Plan anticipates that the project will be developed and constructed in phases as follows: Anticipated Community Farm Development Phasing 1. Establish safe access, essential utilities, (water connections, storm water control, electrical services, including outdoor lighting and accessible routes for Community Farm users (including driveway access and parking) and miscellaneous infrastructure (fencing, pathways, drinking water, etc. for the Garden Patch Program, and the Demonstration Gardens. 2. Development of the Master Gardener's Demonstration Gardens. 3. Construction of Garden Patch plots, pathways, storage, etc. 4. Construction of the Learning Center and picnic areas. 5. Row Crop development. 6. Fruit OrchardNineyards with a buffer area. As noted in the April 12, 2018 Parks and Recreation Commission agenda report (Attachment 3), the actual timing and scope of the phasing schedule will be determined by many factors including available funding, competing priorities and agreements with operating partners. Due to the uncertainty involved in the schedule, as well as the lack of design features, determining an accurate cost for the first phase is not practical at this time. Nevertheless, at the request of the Parks and Recreation Commission, MD Fotheringham did develop an "order of magnitude cost" based on square footage Page 7 of 8
