ORDINANCE NO. 21B VILLAGE OF LINO LAKES ANOKA COUNTY, MINNESOTA AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 21, PASSED BY THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF LINO LAKES, ANOKA COUNTY, MINNESOTA, ON OCTOBER 14, 1957. The Village Council of the Village of Lino Lakes, Anoka County, Minnesota, ordains: I Ordinance No. 21, passed by the Village Council of Lino Lakes, Anoka County, Minnesota, on October 14, 1957, is hereby amended by adding thereto the following, to -wit: SECTION 16 A. PARK AND RECREATION It is deemed necessary and consistent with the Village Planning of the Village of Lino Lakes, Minnesota, to provide in each new proposed plat or subdivision areas for future development, for park and recrea- tional purposes. Therefore, with each plat there shall hereafter be dedicated to the municipality an area equal to, not less than, but not to exceed, 10 per cent of the total proposed area to be subdivided less such area dedicated therein for public streets. Such area shall consist of developable and usable land and shall be located so as to serve the present and future needs of the community for recreational and park purposes. The Planning Board and Village Council shall con- sider the proposed location in relation to existing or contemplated recreational and park sites in other parts of the community and as to. the suitability in meeting the requirements of the Village Plan. Dedication of land for school or other public purposes or for private recreational sites shall not satisfy the requirements of this section. The requirements of this section may be waived or modified by the Village Council, after recommendation by the Planning Board, for any of the following reasons: 1. The enforcement of this provision would act as an extreme hardship to the subdivider because of the size of the tract involved. 2. Where the subdivider is enlarging a subdivision and has already dedicated land for park purposes and another park would not be beneficial to the area. As an alternative to the sections above, the subdivider may be allowed to contribute an amount in cash equivalent to the market value, on the date of the acceptance of the plat by the Village Council, of land required to be dedicated by this subdivision. The Village Council shall render the decision in all cases where there is a request to so contribute monies instead of dedication of lands, both as to whether such contribution shall be allowed in lieu of dedication and the amount of such contribution if a contribution is allowed. Such cash payments shall be turned over to the Village Treasurer for deposit in the Park Fund as dedicated funds.
