Seconded by Mr. Lindy, and carried unanimously . SUNSET OAKS PARK DEDICATION The issue of what is owed the City for park dedication from the development of Sunset Oaks has been discussed on several occasions since the beginning of the Sunset Oaks development in 1976/1977 . The City staff has compiled the portions of the City Council min- utes which pertain to this subject for the Park Board' s review. Mr. Schumacher explained that the only action actually taken by the City Council took place at the November 22 , 1976 Council meeting, as quoted : "This plat has proposed less than 10% of the total acreage for park purposes with the money to be used for the devel- opment of the proposed park areas . This is a combination of land and money proposal . " . . . . "Mr. Schneider added 11-N there be three parks according to Ordinance 21B* , with the escrow to be established within 60 days , this escrow to equal 10% of market value as assessed. It was also men- tioned that two parks be completed as tot lots , and the northern-most park to include a baseball field. The motion carried unanimously. " `Ordinance 21B - This. ordinance spells out the responsibility of a developer to dedicate 10% of the land within the subdivision (less any public streets) or cash equivalent (based upon market value) to the City for park purposes . Mr. Schumacher explained that Mr. Roy Stanley, a representative of Tilsen Properties (the Sunset Oaks developer) , was requested to attend the May, 1985 Park Board meeting . Mr . Stanley did come to the City Hall on the evening of that planned meeting , but since there was no quorum that evening , the meeting did not take place . Mr. Stanley was unable to attend tonight ' s meeting. Mr. Schumacher reported that through brief conversations with Mr. Stanley, it appears that there may be a difference of opinion with regard to what the City would calculate as due versus what Mr. Stanley would calculate for park dedication.
