to set aside and dedicate 22.5 acres. As part of a MUD, they must go above and beyond the parkland
dedication requirements in the UDC. They are proposing an 8 foot wide concrete trail throughout the
property with improved linear parks. This trail could potentially connect up to future development in the
area. In addition, there will be playground open to the public adjacent to the amenity center which is
centrally located in the subdivision. The MUD/HOA will maintain the parks and trails. This development
is in close proximity to Woodhull MUD aka Saddlecreek MUD. The Parks Board approved the parkland
for this development in February 2025.

Kasper MUD as presented. Approved 4— I (Glenn Holzer)
