PARK BOARD MEETING <br /> May 9, 1990 <br /> communities charge for park dedication. <br /> Marty Asleson also suggested asking the other communities if <br /> they are feeling the same type of pressure as we are as far <br /> as dedicated park monies verses the land acquisition. And <br /> are they considering changing their park dedication <br /> requirements. <br /> Ken Johnson stated that he would like to see what the other <br /> cities charge for their park dedication fee, and find out if <br /> $400. 00 per lot would purchase 10% of the land. <br /> Ray Johnson stated that the lots in Parkview Estates are <br /> selling for $42, 000. So two or three times the $400. 00 per <br /> lot park dedication would be equivalent to the land <br /> acquisition. <br /> Bill Nissen asked about the status of the picnic tables and <br /> trash bins at Shenandoah. Marty stated that a picnic table <br /> and trash container has been installed there. <br /> Bill Nissen also asked that the port-a-potty be moved at <br /> Country Lakes Park so that it is not in such a focal area. <br /> FORESTRY <br /> Tree Preservation Policy <br /> Marty has been working on this for quite some time. <br /> The Tree Preservation Policy is something that the Park <br /> Department wants to furnish to developers and builders, <br /> giving them some guidelines and policies to preserving trees, <br /> and help prevent the spread of oak wilt control. <br /> This would require the developer to submit a tree <br /> preservation plan, and also gives us the ability to request <br /> that a private consultant do that plan for them. <br /> Marty has been on a shade tree advisory committee for several <br /> years now, this is an issue that continually comes up. <br /> The tree preservation policy will be discussed with <br /> developers and builders first. Then it will have to go to <br /> the city attorney for his comments before seeking council <br /> approval. <br /> Bill Nissen said that there are some variety of trees that <br /> should not be planted. <br /> Marty stated that the city will generate a tree list for <br /> suitable species. <br /> TREE SPADE PURCHASE <br /> Page 7 <br />
