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 2% 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: <br /> formula to follow. They do claim a cash park dedication eves; <br /> if the land is not subdivided. It is based on 3% of the fair <br /> market value of the land. The cash dedication cannot exceed <br /> three times the park dedication fee charged for a Single- <br /> Family unit (5395 . 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 Vadna:is 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 labor <br /> intensity in which there would normally be more <br /> 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 /> 3 . Other Low Labor Intensive Uses <br /> Page 2 <br />
