'^ park dedication requirements for Burnsville. Please find that attached. Also find the formula for which park dedication is determined. Andover Todd Haas, Parks Director in Andover sent me a copy of Andover's park dedication requirements. Please see enclosed. They have a different way of approaching the cash dedication. If the park board wishes to collect a cash dedication, they hire an appraiser to go out to the site, give a value of the land to the park board, and then the city collects 10% of that land value. Mr. Haas told me that there is problems with this. He said that the city council does not like that extra expense for the appraiser. The cost is at least $250. 00 depending on the size of the plat. The city requires 10% of land to meet park dedication requirements. One more interesting point regarding Andover. Bill Hawkins is also the attorney for that city. Bill Hawkins informed Andover that he does not recommend the city ask for a cash dedication based on a "per unit" basis. Based on Mr. Hawkins recommendation, they take 10% of the value of the entire parcel.
