COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 29, 2001 Council Member Carlson stated she would also like a park dedication fee for commercial/industrial development. Mayor Bergeson advised staff to prepare information for the resolution that includes a park dedication fee for commercial/industrial development. Ordinance No. 06 — 01 can be found in the City Clerk's office. FIRST READING, Ordinance No. 01— 01, Rezoning Lot 13 Block 2 Sunset Oaks (4/5 Vote Required); FIRST READING, Ordinance No. 02 — 01, Comprehensive Plan Amendment to Allocate 2.55 Acres of MUSA Reserve (4/5 Vote Required); and Resolution No. 01— 06, Approving Preliminary Plat for Behm's Farm Park Addition, (3/5 Vote Required), Century Farms Development The City Attorney advised a motion needs to be made to reconsider the rezone on this item from one of the Council Members that voted no at that last meeting. Council Member Carlson stated she voted no to the rezone at the 1 the nine (9) lots for $75,000 in a very desirable neighborhood.

The park area includes Lots 13, 14, 15, and quired these four (4) lots for park purposes via warranty deed ication for Sunset Oaks. The City rezoned Lots 14, 1 and 16 to R-1 in 1994 (Ordinance 15 — 94). Lot 13, the southern portion of the park, was not included in the rezone. This likely was an oversight. In 1997, the City received approval from the Metropolitan Council to allow the City to use part of its MUSA reserve for the Behm's Century Farms development. The approved submittal map included Lots 14, 15, and 16, but did not include Lot 13. That is, the southern part of Behm's Park was not included in the area where MUSA can be applied. Again, probably an oversight. In 1999, the City Council authorized selling 2.55 acres of the park to G. M. Development for $75,000, which was to include grading improvements to the park (Ordinance 16 — 99 and Resolution 99 — 50). The intent was to allow for the creation of nine (9) house lots. Proceeds of the sale of this land would be used to develop the park. However, there was no guarantee in the purchase agreement that the City would approve rezoning or development of the 2.55 acres. •
