Absent ; None . Mr . Scherer moved to approve the minutes of April 6 , 1981 . Seconded by Mr . Volk . Motion carried unanimously. ESTIMATED MARKET VALUE ON LARGE LOTS SUBDIVISIONS . Mr . Schumacher referred to the discussion heldon the $1500 . 00 per acre being used for computing park dedication funds .— The Assessor and the Building Official had put some figures together . Mr . Schumacher presented these figures and felt that the City of Lino Lakes is very competitive with the surrounding communities . Mr. Schumacher felt there is no adjustment warranted at this time . Mr . Scherer pointed out that some plats have been filed where there had been no expense to the developer with the exception of the platting pro- cess . He felt the lots were being sold for 8 to 10 thousand dollars and the Park Board is only being allowed $ 1500 . 00 per acre . Mr . Schumacher felt there is some developers who will be able to take advantage of existing streets - but these are isolated cases and usually the sale price of the lots include the cost of streets , curbs , gutters , and storm sewers , plus all costs involved in the platting process . HENRIKSEN - PARK DEDICATION It was noted that the Council approved the variance on Lots 1 $ 2 and the Park Dedication has been paid on those two lots . The representative for Mr . Hendirksen proposed that this money be paid at the time the lots are sold . It was pointed out there are only seven parcels left to be paid on . Mr . Schumacher was asked what the written policy says and he reported that the Ordinance states that either 10% in land or money is paid at the time of platting . However, this is not a plat , as such. There are several such plats in the City operating under the plan that Park funds are paid at the time the building permit is issued . Mr. Schumacher pointed out this is an administrative headache . The representative for Mr . Henriksen proposed that a Park Dedication check be make out to the City at the time of the closing . The general consensus of the Board was this would be one method of handling this . Mr . Volk felt that there it would be much cleaner to submit the entire amount due at this time . Mr. Scherer moved that Park dedications funds be paid to the City at the time the lots are sold . There was no second - Motion died for lack of a second . ?sir . Arntzen suggested that this money be paid in two payments - one now ,wand the final in six months . Mrs . LeBlonde suggested that the motion include ' that the park fund would be paid according to the current formula' .
