CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING NOVEMBER 2, 1992 the west. There was a question as to what the dollar figure for cash dedication would be. The church quoted $10, 000, which would be approximately $1000 per acre. There was some concern expressed for waiving park dedication entirely. Would that be setting a precedent? Marty Asleson explained that he contacted Northwest Associated Consultants, the City planning consultants, and referred to a letter from them where they suggested not to waive the park dedication fee. The letter explained that our park dedication ordinance does not directly address this type of building, and suggested that the City amend its park dedication ordinance to reference specific requirements imposed on public/semi public uses so that similar problems relating to appropriate dedication may be avoided in the future. MOTION• After discussion, Brian Bourassa made a motion to recommend to council not to waive park dedication, but instead as dedication, accept the proposed recreation trail on the north side of Birch Street and work with the church to complete it in a manner acceptable to both the city and church. This motion was seconded by Candy Toffoli. All were in favor. Motion carried. OLD BUSINESS• Follow up on Special Meeting and Finalizing Comp Plan - Marty Asleson reported that he met with Linda Elliott and Randy Schumacher after the meeting to apprise them of the boards feelings.
