if necessary, over the corridor to allow for public use and maintenance.
10. Park and trail dedication requirements are satisfied through the dedication of .281 acres
of parkland and a cash dedication in the amount of $91,221.39 less the cost of +/-1,451
linearfeet of eight (8) foot trails and +/-1,340 linear feet of ten (10) foot trails.

located adjacent to CSAH 37. One possible option is the provision of a ten (10) foot trail
along 64th Street as an alternative east-west connection, in lieu of the eight (8) foot trail
shown there.
