Section 7 will also be able to use and enjoy these amenities. These amenities include the neighborhood park(4.35 acres) with its improvements and the park at the subdivision entrance (3.91 acres) with the three ponds. The Developer has constructed the improvements in the park, and his cost for these improvements has exceeded the park development fees typically required for residential subdivisions. There will be a total of 23.95 acres of Reserved Open Space Reserve (Common Area) dedicated in Castlegate. These areas contain the concrete paths, landscaping and undisturbed areas. There are also 0.58 acres of landscaped street medians located within the subdivision. In Sections 2 & 3, there are 5.31 acres of non-developable lot area, primarily in the 100-year floodplain, which will remain undisturbed. Additional common area is proposed for Section 7. Section 7 will include 2.3 acres of the 23.62 acres of Reserved Open Space Reserve. There are also 7.3 acres of area in Section 7 that will be dedicated as a private park or common area. Within this area is an existing pond which has been modified to be an attractive water feature, and the surrounding area has been landscaped. A concrete path will provide pedestrian access to this park. The proposed developed lot area for Section 7 does not include any of the 100-year floodplain. The floodplain area (approximately 1 acre) has been left as a greenbelt buffer in this section. Previously, approximately 11 acres of floodplain were left as a greenbelt buffer. Pedestrian and bike connectivity to Section 6 will be provided by a sidewalk between Sections 6 & 7. The locations of these amenities are shown on the attached drawing.
