Planning & Zoning Board June 14, 2000 Page 8 Chair Schaps stated he thinks in Lino Lakes it has always been a land dedication or dedication fee and he is unaware of other communities that charge both. He explained the Park Board is charged with evaluating this question and that group of volunteers is satisfied that this plan is appropriate. He emphasized that there is no City funding to develop the park property in Highland Meadows West. Mr. Anderson asked if Lois Lane will never be extended or if it will circumvent that park land.
