For each dwelling unit $150.00 Lakeville does not hold neighborhood meetings to obtain resident input for their park. Lakeview also has a Park System Plan for the city's park system. Woodbury I spoke with Bob Klatt from Woodbury. They accept 10% of land for park dedication or $450.00 per lot. They are in the process of updating their park dedication requirement. Mr. Klatt also felt that $450. 00 was low because the value of land has increased since this figure was established. A comprehensive plan was completed for an overall park system in Woodbury. Woodbury does not hold neighborhood meetings. Mr. Klatt stated that the city has an overall plan for the parks system. He felt this would be messy and that you can never satisfy everyone. He added that in a few instances the park was completed, and play ground equipment installed before any lots were sold. The developer's liked it for marketability of the site. The city requires the developer to bring the park to grade and seed the park. Plymouth Mary Patterson sent me their park dedication policy. She stated that a park land plan was completed in 1982 and will be updated this year. The City of Plymouth looks at the park plan in deciding whether land should be dedicated or cash. Plymouth requires 10% of land if the development is no denser than two dwellings per unit. The cash contribution is $825. 00 per dwelling unit. This is based on 10% of the average value of undeveloped residential land in the city. It was decided that at Plymouth's first City Council meeting in February the city manager provides the council with a report from the city assessor indicating his estimate of the average value of undeveloped residential land in the community and a survey of residential fees in effect in other comparable communities.
