MINUTES PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION MARCH 3, 1994 that the park system was receiving. Last year the Commission did request funding under the l0~ CIP Budget for reroofing of the Spooner Park band shell, tennis court repair, and matching grant funds. A 10$ committee was formed and reviewed the 10~ funding requests, and these items were cut from the 10~ CIP budget. The committee recommended that items funded with 10~ monies be items that are short-term in nature, somewhat out of the ordinary, and would not have another source of funding. Remerowski felt there should be some park and recreation items funded with 10% monies. Wehrle stated that he saw no reason for two separate CIP Funds, and that everyone should be required to compete for the CIP dollars on the same basis. The Commission asked for some clarification of the nature of the 10o CIP Fund and the criteria which must be met for improvements to be funded with these dollars. MITCHELL Johnson asked the status of the development of the PROPERTY Mitchell property. Staff reported that concept review of the Mitchell property development proposal is scheduled for consideration at the March 9th meeting of the City Council. Remerowski reported that the Vadnais Heights City Council tabled action on the preliminary plat of the Mitchell property development proposal lying in Vadnais Heights. An issue of concern was the location of the park dedication, with the Vadnais Heights Park Commission recommending a land dedication of approximately 9 lots on the top of the property, which Remerowski referred to as Lot A. It was estimated that each of these nine lots has a value of $60,000 to $65,000 or a total of $500,000. The developer indicated that he would not be willing to make this dedication. Remerowski pointed out that dedicate Lots B and C, Lot Remerowski reported that Lo area, therefore worthless t the developer is proposing to C lying in Little Canada. t C is actually an easement o the developer.
