Please find that enclosed. <br /> I visited with Bruce Anderson, Parks and Recreation Director. <br /> He stated that in 90 - 90% of the time the park department <br /> requires a cash dedication. The only time land is acquired <br /> is when it is adjacent to an existing park. <br /> Cash dedication for Inver Grove Heights is as follows: <br /> Residential: <br /> $400. 00 in sewered & watered area <br /> $200. 00 in unsewered & unwatered areas <br /> Commercial: <br /> $2 ,178 .00 per acre in sewered and watered areas <br /> $425. 00 per acre in unsewered areas. <br /> There are no separate fees for trail systems. <br /> Land dedication is 10% of the plat. <br /> Inver Grove Heights does not hold neighborhood meetings to <br /> discuss what they would like to see in their park. <br /> Maple Grove <br /> I spoke with Patti Anderson, Administrative Management Aid at <br /> Maple Grove. Their park dedication requirements are as <br /> follows: <br /> Residential: $610. 00 per unit <br /> Industrial: $1,998. 00 per acre <br /> Commercial: $2,975.00 per acre <br /> Apple Valley <br /> Randy Johnson, Park/Recreation Director stated that Apple <br /> Valley requires 10% of the land for park dedication. <br /> Based on the average cost of $15, 000 per acre, the city <br /> collects 10% of that amount ($1,500) per acre for a cash <br /> dedication. <br /> Apple Valley does have a Park Master Plan as part of their <br /> overall city Comprehensive Plan. <br /> For commercial and industrial areas park dedication consists <br /> of 5% of the land or cash value is required. <br /> Burnsville <br /> Randy Oppelt, Park/Recreation Director faxed me a copy of the <br /> Page 2 <br />
