$400. 00/lot as soon as possible. Two or three plats will be presented in January and February, so now is the time to consider the increase. Also, by increasing our fee it would help us to maintain our existing parks and help us to purchase land for parks in the future. MOTION: Ken Johnson moved to recommend to the City Council that our park ordinance be changed as follows: For multiple-family development Lino Lakes should adopt a progressive land requirement. John Miller suggested the following schedule: DENSITY IN UNITS/ACRE PERCENTAGE OF LAND DEDICATION 0 to 3 10% 3 to 5 12 5 to 7 14 7 to 9 16 10 or more 18 The schedule is similar to that used by Plymouth and that city has experienced a fair amount of apartment construction in the last few years. It also has a good park and trail system. And finally, the amounts haven' t kept construction away and haven' t been challenged in court . * Increase the cash dedication per dwelling to $400. Based on 150 new dwellings, this would produce $60, 000, assuming no land was taken. Much of the data given here was collected by Joel Schilling in Vadnais Heights. On November 17th, he told Mr. Miller that several communities in the northeast part of the metropolitan area are currently considering increases in park fees . * Continue the practice of getting title to the land or the cash payment prior to park approval. Most metropolitan area municipalities try to make parks improvement possible by collecting the park fees at the time of platting rather than when building permits are issued. George Lindy seconded the motion and the motion was carried unanimously. PROPERTY SEARCH - John Miller .1 The Park Board is looking to purchase some land (20 acres) for ballparks.
