land no later than at the time of final approval, (b) any <br /> cash payments received shall be placed in a special fund by <br /> the municipality used only for the purposes for which the <br /> money was obtained, (c) in establishing the reasonable <br /> portion to be dedicated, the regulations may consider the <br /> open space, park, recreational, or common areas and <br /> facilities which the applicant proposes to reserve for the <br /> subdivision, and (d) the municipality reasonably determines <br /> that it will need to acquire that portion of land for the <br /> purposes stated in this paragraph as a result of approval of <br /> the subdivision. <br /> Every city that I spoke with was aware of this statute. <br /> Randy Johnson, City Planner in Shoreview stated that he does <br /> require the applicant to replat the land. This ensures park <br /> dedication, dedicates right-of-ways and cleans up the title <br /> to the land. The City of Shoreview requires 3% of the value <br /> of the land as a cash dedication for Commercial/Industrial <br /> sites. <br /> Brian Schafer, City Planner in Blaine has a different formula <br /> to follow. They do claim a cash park dedication even if the <br /> land is not subdivided. It is based on 3% of the fair market <br /> value of the land. The cash dedication cannot exceed three <br /> times the park dedication fee charged for a Single-Family <br /> unit ($395.00) . I thought this was complicated, but <br /> reasonable. <br /> The City, of Oakdale asks for $1, 200 per acre of land for <br /> commercial and industrial lots. The parcels do not have to <br /> be subdivided. <br /> I spoke with the City Clerk in Vadnais Heights, Gerald Urban. <br /> He sent me a copy of their dedication ordinance. It states <br /> that the developer will pay $300. 00 for each 4, 000 square <br /> feet of proposed building for uses as follows: <br /> 1. Retail <br /> 2 . Office <br /> 3 . Office-Showroom <br /> 4. Restaurants/Liquor Establishments <br /> 5. Light Manufacturing/Assembly uses of high <br /> labor intensity in which there would normally be <br /> more than one employee per 500 square feet at full <br /> planned capacity. <br /> It goes on to state: The developer shall pay to the city <br /> $200. 00 for each 4, 000 square feet of proposed building for <br /> uses as follows: <br /> 1. Warehousing <br /> 2 . Low Labor Intensive Light Manufacturing/Assembly <br /> r., <br /> 3 . Other Low Labor Intensive Uses <br /> Page 2 <br />
