Meadowlark Trail, CIP No. 22797 Page 4 January 25, 2021 time only Sandeep Duggal provided comments on the revised project. The City ultimately approved the PUD modification on February 10, 2017. Over the next couple of years, the developer prepared their construction plans and final map in accordance with the requirements of the project conditions of approval. City staff, as well as staff from other regulatory and resource agencies, reviewed the plans to ensure all project specific conditions and other legal requirements were reflected in the project plans and documentation. This included review of the trail design. On March 3, 2020, City Council approved the final map, subdivision agreement, and easement and maintenance agreement for Tract 7813. This included the approval of the trail plans and the payment by the developer of the approximately $55,000 necessary to construct the trail. The final map included the land parceling necessary to grant the 35-foot-wide area behind the Jorgensen homes to the adjacent property owners. These land transfers have since occurred. In 2017, at about the same time the developer began preparing their project construction plans, the City began the Trail Master Plan update. As part of that process website was created www.pleasantontrails.com), the trails master plan was discussed at various public outreach events (Farmer's Market, Earth Day, etc.), an online survey was created (October 2017 — January 2018), two public outreach events were held (November 16, 2017 and January 18, 2018), the master plan was discussed with the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Trails Committee at 6 separate meetings, a trails survey for the youth was advertised from June —August 2018, the plans were presented to the Youth Commission and Planning Commission once and the Parks and Recreation Commission and City Council twice. All outreach starting in January 2018 included a map of the proposed trail around the Meadowlark property. However, the City advertised for the Trails Master Plan on a city-wide scale and did not reach out directly to neighbors within 1,000 feet of the Meadowlark project. The Trails Master Plan was adopted in May 2019.
