PARK BOARD MEETING
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1994
The City of Lino Lakes Park Board meeting was called to order at
6:35pm by Ken Johnson. There was NO audio or video for this
meeting.
Roll Call was taken, members present: Ken Johnson, Sharon Lane,
Amy Donlin, Joe Schmidt, Pam Taschuk, and Brian Bourassa. Also
present were Marty Asleson, Park, Recreation and Forestry
Coordinator and Sandie Wood, Recording Secretary. George Lindy
arrived at 6 :45pm.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Sharon Lane made a motion to approve the
August 1, 1994 minutes, Joe Schmidt seconded the motion. All
voted aye. Motion carried. George stated he liked the flow of
the minutes and the way they were done.
Prior to the meeting Brian Bourassa gave all the members his
letter of resignation, which would go into effect at the end of
his term. He discussed his reasons for this decision and
indicated he wishes to continue working with the Recreation Focus
Committee and wants to be involved in other park related issues
in the city. Marty commended Brian for the work that he has done
on the Park Board, Recreation Focus Committee, and with the Eagle
Scouts in the community. All members stated they were sorry that
Brian was leaving and they were going to miss his expertise on
the board.
OPEN MIKE: There was no one present to speak under Open Mike.
CONCEPT REVIEW: Wood of Baldwin Lake II - Marty Asleson
explained that it is a 5.59 acre subdivision and is zoned R-1X.
The minimum lot sizes are 12, 825 square feet for a housing
density of 2 .32 lots per acre, a total of 13 single family lots.
This has been an area of frustration in the acquisition of
adequate amounts of park open space. The area that is being
focused on, for future park area, is south and east of the area
south of Oakwood Lane and possibly to the west of the southern
portion of Oakwood Lane, as well as the possibilities that might
exist in the Regional Park. The developer has proposed a cash
dedication of approximately $14, 749.00.
Tim Kytonna was present to represent Kosner Goertz Homes, Inc.
He stated the plans have been submitted to the Rice Creek
Watershed District and that they will be going before the
Planning and Zoning Board at their October 5th meeting. They are
going to have an engineer look at the sewer plans because there
might be an area that the sewer may be too shallow.
rti Amy Donlin asked who was interested in selling their land. Marty
1
�-� stated he had contacted Mary Ann McDougal and she showed no
interest, at this time, in selling her land. He showed on the
overhead the area she owned. Amy also asked if Mary Ann had
talked to Marty about the trail problem she was having. Marty
said he had and a barricade would be placed.
Ken asked if Marty was using the 10 percent formula and density
factors to arrive at the $14, 749.00 dedication amount. Marty
stated yes, but it will depends on the raw land value, and total
purchase price less the sale of two houses.
Marty recommended to the board that they accept the park
dedication for this development in the form of cash payment, to
be verified by the project engineer for compliance to our
dedication formula.
NOTION: After further discussion Ken Johnson made a motion to
accept park dedication of cash for the Woods of Baldwin Lake II
Subdivision in accordance with the dedication formula. Motion
was seconded by Brian Bourassa. All voted aye. Motion carried.
UPDATES:
A. Rice Lake Estates: George said he talked to Jim Keinath and
he says that the city is not dragging their feet but the city
attorney is. Marshall Dahl told George that he will help work
^ this out and get the wheels turning. Marty explained that Kate
Drewry has been out to look at the lots and it was determined
that only one lot could be built on. Marty has received a letter
from Pete Kluegel, Lino Lakes Building Inspector, stating that
the project was not done and it was still possible to build
houses. George mentioned that he would meet with Marty on this
issue.
Ken asked about the letter he had received from the Circle Pines
Park Board inviting the Lino Lakes Park Board to their board
meeting on September 12 . Marty knew nothing about this meeting
as he had not received a letter. There was confusion about why
the Lino Lakes Park Board had been invited and what they were
going to discuss at the meeting. Marty will make contact with
the City of Circle Pines to see what the agenda is and will
report back to the board members.
B. Wood of Baldwin Lake Mini Park: Marty reported that the he
had a contractor come into the park to clear the land and mulch
the brush. He stated that the machine had encroached on one
residents property but the city would put up snow fence and they
would do some planting next spring to replace the brush that had
been damaged. Joe said he had talked to a couple of people from
the area and they are very happy with the work that has been done
so far. Marty then explained that on September 24, 8am to
approximately 4pm, there was going to be a playground raising.
2
^ The playground equipment company would have an expert at the site
to help put the equipment together and direct the neighborhood
group on where to place it. Joe Schmidt said he would be at the
raising.
C. Recreation Complex/Referendum: Marty passed around photos
that he and George had taken from an airplane. Marty said that
he has solicited quotes for delineation and an engineering
survey. The low bid for delineation was $400 . He feels it is
necessary to meet with the homeowners to see how they want to
finance this. He said he had received quotes to have the
property appraised but has not done anything with them yet.
Marty stated that he and Council member Linda Elliott feel that
the City Council and the Park Board should have a joint meeting
to discuss this issue.
There was further discussion and several questions were raised by
the board members. Sharon wanted to know if the recreation
complex was outside the MUSA boundary. Amy wanted to know who
owned the land that the delineation is going to be done on.
Marty stated Vivian Noren and Donald Lundgren owned the property.
RECOMMENDATION: George recommended he follow up with the
delineation, get an appraisal and give the information to the
Rice Creek Watershed District. After this is done the Park
Board should meet with the City Council for a work session. He
^ asked Marty to talk to Council Member Elliot and City
Administrator Randy Schumacher and get this item on work session
agenda. Marty said he would make calls September 8 and get the
process started.
The chair decided to go to New Business, item B, because there
were people present to discuss this issue.
NEW BUSINESS:
B. Brandywood Neighborhood Concern Meeting: Jim Bruce and Rich
Migner were present to discuss their concerns, frustrations,
ideas, and to invite the Park Board members to their meeting on
September 8th. Bruce explained that there were 70 lots in the
subdivision. Sixty-seven houses have been built, two were in
progress and one lot remained vacant. The average cost of the
homes is $150, 000. He added there are 50 children and 20 daycare
children in the area at a given time. They feel they need a park
in their subdivision because the closest park does not have a
safe access (must cross over a 55 mph road) and the closest park,
with playground equipment, is two miles away. George and Marty
gave background on priority listing. Jim and Rich asked what
they could do to facilitate the process. Marty explained how the
city tax dollars were divided as they pertains to recreation.
Rich stated that the fathers in the area will do everything they
^ can, including a fundraiser, to get things going in their
3
neighborhood park. Brian asked Marty what it would cost to put
playground equipment in the park. Marty responded approximately
$12, 000.
Amy said she knows it is frustrating for them, she is happy to
see them take such an interest in their neighborhood, and
appreciated them coming before the park board with their issue.
She also stated, in the future, maybe the developers should be
made more responsible for developing the park areas.
Brian thank them for coming to the park meeting and told them
they did an excellent job. He asked if anyone was going to
attend the neighborhood meeting September 9th. Marty and George
will attend the meeting.
UPDATES CONTINUED
D. Recreation Focus Committee:
Brian Bourassa gave an overview of what has transpired at the
last two Recreation Focus Committee meetings. He said there was
a need to have a neighborhood meeting in the Wenzel Farm area.
He further added that the committee felt it was necessary to have
a survey done. Marty added that Ray Weber is willing to work on
the survey. Various Park Board members gave their views on a
survey. They felt residents throughout the city should be
^ included in the survey so they had the true feelings of the
residents. There was also discussion on the possibility of the
City Council doing a survey. Marty would like the Recreation
Focus Committee and the Park Board to be included in the process
if the city decides to do a survey.
He then reported that there was a young man, Rob Schleicher, on
the Recreation Focus Committee and Teen Subcommittee that was a
real go-getter. Marty discussed what has transpired on the Teen
Committee. They would like to have a dance but we really do not
have the proper facility to have one. He also stated that when
the time comes to do something like this it must be successful
the first time around because there won't be a second chance with
the teens. Pam Taschuk stated that the school year might not be
the proper time to have a dance. Maybe we should focus on a
summer event. She also stated that the Brandywood child
population was a good example of what could lay ahead for the
City of Lino Lakes in regards to the teen population. Marty said
that he had put in the budget, money to hire a parttime community
outreach person. He thought it was important that the teens had
someone to identify with. Amy suggested that if we were looking
for a project for the teens maybe they could debrush Baldwin Lake
Road.
In conclusion, Brian stated if any members had anything they
n would like brought to the Recreation Focus Committee they should
4
let him know.
E. Other Park and Recreation Updates: The Shores of Marshan
Woods trail has not been completed yet. Marty has met with the
property owners regarding their concerns. He added that the 1994
trails were paved today (9/7/94) and a grader backed onto the
Quail Ridge boardwalk and collapsed it. He reported that the
inspector is doing a great job, he is really on top of things,
and makes sure the contractor is doing things right. Pam then
asked about the church area. Marty stated that it has been left
up to the property owners and the church to work out the
problems. He said Jack Farris was to work with an engineer and
they were to move the trail themselves, if this is what they
decide to do. Marty stated that there would be another
development brought before the Park Board in the near future.
OLD BUSINESS: There was no old business
NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED:
A. Joint/Cooperative ADA Meeting: Marty discussed a community
bridging meeting to create an effective and viable recreation
program for people with disabilities. He explained that the
participating numbers were not there. He also stated that Jim
Peterson, from Blaine, is very positive that they want to do
something. He could not make the first meeting but he was going
to meet with Marty and Becky on September 15. Brian Bourassa
asked what programs have been tried. Marty explained they have
tried walking groups and an aquatic program that did not go
because there was not enough people to participate. George
talked about the waterskiing program in White Bear Lake. It was
slow to start but once it got started it has grown very fast.
Sharon said that we should make contact with the Courage Center.
It was also suggested that the YMCA and Shoreview Community
Center be contacted. Marty explained that Becky has met with the
group homes in the community to see if she could get some
programs started.
Marty then mentioned the ADA compliance report. He said that
bids were let, JoAnn Wright, Anoka County approved the procedure,
and we have hired Julee Quarve-Peterson to finish the compliance
portion of the ADA report. It should be done sometime this
month.
C. Fall/Winter 194- 195 Brochure: Marty discussed the brochure
and how registration for the programs were going. Joe asked
about the locations for volleyball. Brian wanted to know why
some programs had date, time and location listed and others did
not. Sandie explained the programs (ie. basketball) that did not
list time etc. were programs that we wanted the people to call in
because they required further explanation and we had to send a
registration packet to them. It was also explained that Barry
5
had sent information packets to teams that had participated in 5-
player football for the last 3-5 years.
D. City of Shoreview Park Building Donation: Marty explained
that the building being offered was the same type building that
had been donated to the Park Board a few years ago and placed in
Birch Park. The last building had cost $2600 to move, the
concrete slab had come to $5522, and the footings were another
$3260. Additional costs included sewer and water installation at
$4346, electrical installation at $2 .30/ft, gas installation at
$3 .50/ft, and engineering costs of about $1000.00 . Marty told
the Board Members to keep in mind that if a site with stable
ground was selected we would probably not need footings. We could
probably eliminate most engineering costs if we used the same
footing and foundation plan as the last building. He also stated
that this building was closer to Lino Lakes than the last one.
Sharon wanted to know the size of the building. Marty said it
was a 26 ' octagon park shelter. Brian asked where the building
was to be placed. Marty thought City Hall Park was a good
location for this building. There was discussion on where it
could be placed in City Hall Park, the lighting of hockey and
skating rinks, if sewer and water were needed and if it should be
placed in another park.
George asked Marty to meet with the City Council and get
authority to use up to $10, 000 from the dedicated park fund.
Marty said he would talk to Jeff Schoenbauer and get his opinion
on where the building would fit into the comprehensive park plan.
NOTION: George made a motion to acquire the building and proceed
with getting a quote to move the building and place it on a slab.
AMENDMENT: George then amended the motion by asking Marty to
draw a layout of the park, place the building at a feasible
location, and bring it to the next meeting. Brian said the next
meeting was a month away and asked if the sketch could be mailed
to each board member. Motion and amendment carried.
Marty said he would talk to Jerry Haffman, City of Shoreview, and
get a time frame when they wanted the building off their
property.
NEXT MEETING: The Board set Monday, October 3, 1994 at 6:30pm
for the next regular Park Board Meeting.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 8:56pm.

City of Lino Lakes
^ Park Board Goal Setting Meeting
Thursday, September 22, 1994
The goal setting meeting started at 6:15pm at the Lino Lakes
Park, Recreation and Forestry building on September 22, 1994.
Members present were Brian Bourassa, Amy Donlin, Pam Taschuk,
George Lindy, and Ken Johnson. Staff in attendance were Marty
Asleson, Parks, Recreation and Forestry Coordinator, Barry
Bernstein, Recreation Program Supervisor, and Sandie Wood, Parks,
Recreation and Forestry Secretary. Board member Sharon Lane
arrived at 6:30pm.
Marty Asleson started the meeting by reviewing the goals in the
Comprehensive Park Plan and Development Guide and the criteria
for prioritizing acquisition according to the plan. Marty
advised the board that the dedicated park fund total as of August
31, 1994, is $147, 000, total committed funds of unspent pending
projects is $83,800, leaving a total dedicated park fund balance,
after conanitments, of $63,200. He than passed out a memo from
Mazy Kay Wyland that indicated $202,963 remain to be transferred
from the individual subdivisions escrow account (s) to the park
fund. She indicated the transfer of funds would be made prior to
fiscal year-end 1994. Marty talked about the survey that was
done in 1988. He then discussed a handout that indicated the
rating of park facilities and activities. Marty said that he had
put money in the budget to do another survey next year but he did
not know if the money would remain there.
George Lindy discussed the change in population. He said we all
have to keep that in mind when we are planning neighborhood
parks. Currently they are toddlers but in 5 years or so they
will be older and the parents will want different things in their
park. As an example, a baseball field instead of playground
equipment. He said a good example of population change is the
Brandy Wood development. There is only three teenagers in the
whole area and the rest are younger. Marty thought 60 percent of
the kids were between the ages of 3 and 5.
Amy passed out a survey. She stated she had meet with different
neighborhood groups and they had formed this survey. Marty said
the Recreation Focus Committee should be involved in the survey
process if one is done. Amy asked if this survey could be passed
along to the City Council. Marty responded yes. Brian said he
thought the survey was slanted and recommended that they meet
with the person on the Recreation Focus Committee who seemed to
have expertise in this area. Amy was thankful for the feedback
and said she would take this information back to her neighborhood
groups. Pam suggested that when a survey was done we look for
someone that is working on a masters degree and would do the
survey as a research project. Amy talked about the Mayor' s
101-N 20/20 Vision and voiced her concerns with it.

City of Lino Lakes
Park Board Goal Setting Meeting
Thursday, September 22, 1994
Marty explained that since the last Park Board meeting he has
talked with Council Person Linda Elliot and she said the City
Council will be ready for a work session, with the Park Board, in
January to discuss alternative funding and where things are
going.
Marty commented on the goals of the Park Board for the last two
years and their status:

Park Board Goal Setting Meeting
Thursday, September 22, 1994
RICE LAKE ESTATES - $40000 committed to park development by the
development agreement, plus the sale of two lots. One lot is
buildable and we would have to request a variance to the wetland
laws for the second lot.
LINO PARK PARKING LOT - $5000 for parking lot improvements -
Done.
SUNSET OAKS PARK - $300 for access to park - Not Done.
CONCEPT DESIGN FOR MISCELLANEOUS PARKS - $2000.
BIRCH PARK - Land acquisition - $8000.
NEW AND UNAPPROVED ITEMS - Shoreview Park Shelter - $10000
After general conversation on the status of the 1993/1994 goals
Marty discussed an issues report he had written. He also passed
out a map so members could see the areas he was discussing.
Future Land Needs:
N-14 - Dedication was taken for land development in the Woods of
Baldwin Lake II.
Dedication dollars were also taken for the Woodridge development.
We still have park land needs in this area.
N-11 - Birch Park - dollars are needed to purchase additional
land for the Trappers Crossing Development. Dollars from
Trappers Crossing should be used for this.
JU-3 - Pheasant Hills Preserve - Dollars from the PHP development
should be used to purchase 8-10 acres in this area. He feels the
school is not going to develop it as a school site.
Marty briefly discussed new, partially or fully dedicated parks,
no amenities with the board members. This included Shores of
Marshan, Wenzel Farms, Birchwood Acres/Park Grove, Qual Ridge,
Brandy Wood, and Pheasant Hills Preserve parks. He then
continued by talking about Birch Park and Woods of Baldwin Lake
Park which are new, partially or fully dedicated parks with some
amenities. The overview continued by discussing older park areas
with some amenities which included Lino, Arena Acres, City Hall,
Sunset Oaks, Sunrise, Shenandoah and Lamotte Parks. Older park
areas with no amenities (Rice Lake Estates) and Joint use parks
with some amenities (Rice Lake Elementary) were the last items
00N, discussed in this presentation.

City of Lino Lakes
Park Board Goal Setting Meeting
September 22, 1994
There was discussion on land acquisition at Birch Park and the
cost. Marty stated that he estimated the cost to be
approximately $8,000.
Amy asked about dedicated fees and if they were guaranteed. It
was explained that developers must post a bond and the city would
get the money even if they went bankrupt.
Marty continued by explaining staff and his role in the process.
He went on to say that when establishing goals for 1995 he hoped
the board would included a realistic look at available staff and
the need to hire contractors if necessary. He did not feel it
was likely that additional staff would be hired for 1995. He
also continued by saying that as more improvements are made more
pressure is put on the department to inspect, correct and
maintain the areas.
Brian thought the Park Board had programmed rather well for 1994
as everything was completed but one item. Marty commented that
we did meet the goals that were set, but other things were
neglected, such as inspection for safety and appearance. Ken
asked who makes the determination on whether a job is contracted
^ or not. Marty responded that it was the City Council that makes
the decisions. Ken suggested that after the priorities are set
maybe they should be looked at and decide how much manpower is
needed and establish what should be contracted.
Marty told the Park Board that he was going to propose to redo
the trail development ordinance. He would like to get the
contractors to do the trails in the development rather than the
city doing them. Marty talked about another city that receives
$150/lot to go towards trail development.
Marty told the board that Moline Concrete would like to do
something in the community, on the north side, whether it be
completing a city park or something else. Marty told Moline
Concrete that the N-7 Park cost $240, 000 to develop. They to
Marty that they do pre-formed concrete picnic tables and asked
how many he wanted. The Park Board members hoped something
would come out of this.
George then said the board should look at what was not done last
year and then look ahead at future issues. There was general
discussion on the status of N-14, Country Lakes Park, trails, A-
3, Rice Creek Estates, Wenzel, Pine Ridge, Brandywood, Quail
Ridge, Shores of Marshan, N-12, Rice Lake Elementary Tennis
Courts, Pheasant Hills Preserve and the status of the Shoreview
^ building. Ken stated that projects that are near completion
should get top priority. Marty added that the trail on Jeanne
Drive is important and should be considered.

developed) To be discussed after concept plan is done.
Playground equipment, grading, seeding, and brush removal.
Enter into a business agreement with person that has a bobcat and
is willing to do work in the park. (if insurance issue can be
resolved)
N-10 - Pine Ridge Park - $13,000-$15, 000. (80% developed)
Park is graded and seeded. Concept plan is done. There is 5
acres in the park and 5 acres is proposed.
N-12 - Quail Ridge - (60% developed)
This area should be looked at to see what level of development is
done and see if there is eminent need. Decided to put on hold

George stated that they need to look at the items from previous
priority lists and make sure that funding is not being set aside
again.
Marty told the Park Board that there would no longer be free
water for flooding ice rinks. We will be given a meter and
charged $1.45/1000 gallons of water used. It would be a good
--r idea to make rinks on ponds in the areas that have them.

Some of the work may have to be contracted out or have the
neighborhoods help build them. Marty explained that it cost $400
to have someone from the playground equipment company come out
and help put the equipment together. Marty stated that we had
enough manpower to do a couple of large projects and a couple
smaller projects each year and still keep up with the maintenance
that is necessary.
It was noted that the cost of the items on the priority list came
to approximately $90, 000. There was discussion on what the cost
of the projects done last year came to and what the total cost
would be for the two years.
There was discussion again on the trail ordinance. Marty said he
was going to be doing research on this and would report back to
the Park Board.
It was requested that the priority list be put in the next Park
Board meeting packets so the members could review, prioritize,
and bring them to the meeting.
The meeting ended at 9:45pm.

BACKGROUND
Please find attached a copy of our present trail dedication
ordinance. This ordinance requires all developers to rough - grade
and gravel ell trails within 'a subdiYasion that are necessary to
carry dut the goals of the Lino Lakes Parks Comprehensive Plan.
In the past the city , has ant .they dollars to overlay these
graveled areas with asphalt surfacing.' This year, it cost the city
$30,000 to mash this, surfacing project. Growth and
development has greatly impacted the park Boards ability to supply
other services and facilities as they relate to neighborhood
concerns.
It is the purpose of this proposal to amend the present trail
ordinance to include the provision requiring developers to
completely finish all dedicated trails including the asphalt
surfaces. I have inclosed a copy of the Lakeville approach to
this. In essence, the Lakeville_model charges developers $150 `per
lot for park trails. In this wanner there is a consistent charge
for park trail needed and weather a developer has no trails or two
miles- of trails.
Please refer to, the article from the League of Minnesota Cities
Journal entitled
Co ras. and the article fk6 the Ninnesota 'Recreation and Parks
E%rk QWJQ,4i in Still t Basically, what is summarized in
these articles, is that'for park or trail dedication, a city must
(1) demonstrate how the dedication requirement- promotes a
legitimate public interest: and (2) provide a factual basis why the
proposed use of the subject property sufficiently impacts the
public so that the dedication is necessitated by development.
Factual information should include population' numbers, statistics
of park use:, geographical location, etc. to support the dedication.
I have enclosed a copy of the Lake Valle Dedication Ordinance that
we may want to look at. Please also refer to the correspondence

RE: Lakeville - Trail Fees
FILE NO: 336.00 - 92.10
At your request, we have proceeded to measure the length (in linear
feet) of all projected trail corridors within the City as well as
those which specifically lie within the 2010 MUSA. From such
information, we have determined trail costs per projected household
for both the 2010 MUSA area and the balance of the City. It should
be recognized that the trail Casts are only applicable to new
households within the said areas.
HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION
To determine trail costs for both the 2010 MUSA area and the area
outside the MUSA by household, it is necessary to calculate the
number of additional households expected in these areas. Costs for
new trails will apply only to newly created households.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Marty Asleson
FROM: Alen Rrixius
DATE: 29 September 1994
RE: Lino Lakes - Trails
FILE NO: 194.02 - 94.16
At the last staff meeting, the issue was raised as to how to
finance trail construction. This issue is particularly emphasized
in Lino Lakes with limited budgets and Charter restrictions for
assessing public improvements . The following options are available
r� to address this issue.
1. Have the developer abutting a trail corridor, as identified by
the Comprehensive Park and Trail Plan, be responsible for the
construction and financing of said trail.
2. Establish a trail dedication requirement similar to ' park
dedication fees. This dedication would then be applied on a
per lot basis for all new subdivisions.
3 . A combination of the Options 1 and 2. The park dedication is
imposed on all subdivisions, however, credits may be given for
plats that are required to construct trails.
In review of the aforementioned options, it would appear that
Options 3 offers the most equitable treatment of all developments
and provides a trail system revenue source for other City trail
improvements.
In establishing a dedication ordinance, the City must demonstrate
the following items:
1. The dedication is equitably applied to all developments.
2. The City must demonstrate that the required dedication is
related both in nature and extent to the proposed
development's impact.

SEP-2971994 08:45 NAC - -'612 595 9837 `�P.03i08
Ecuitv_._ Tinder Option 1, the City would require a subdivision
abutting designated trail corridors to absorb the entire cost of
trail construction, while subdivisions away from any trail
corridors would have no construction costs.
This is an inequitable treatment of development in that the trail
improvement intended for use by the entire City must be financed
solely by subdivisions that fall along a designated corridor.
This inequity may result in one of the following conclusions:
1. Potential legal challenge of the dedication requirement
imposed by the city.
2 . Loss of trail construction revenues that may be captured by
requiring all new lots creating a demand for the trail system
to pay for a share of the trails.
A. trail dedication fee addresses the aforementioned concerns. ' This
would give the City the opportunity to establish an alternative
funding source for trail construction and right-of-way acquisition.
Determination of What Dedication Relatea to !=act. To determine
the amount of trail dedication, it is necessary to calculate the
construction Cost of the City's entire trail system and divide
these costs by the City.' s projected ultimate household growth.
This methodology will provide a trail cost per housing unit which
can then be applied to each new subdivision.
Suni mary
we have attached a summary of Dolan vs. the City of Tigard Supreme
Court case for your information. In respect to this newest case
law, we would suggest that the City give consideration to a trail
dedication requirement uniformly applied to all new subdivisions.

1. What is a Taking?
A. The Fifth Amendment provides that "private property
(shall not) be taken for public use without just
compensation. " The essential purpose of this clause
is to bar government from forcing some people alone
to bear public burdens which, in all fairness and
justice, should be borne by the public as a whole.
Penn Central 'Tranagortation Co. v. City of New York,
438 U.S. 104, 123-124 (1978) .
B. The takings clause originally was applied only to
physical takings of property, but in 1922 Justice
Holmes recognized that regulations on property will
also be considered takings if they go "too far. "
Pennsylvania Coal Co. v. Mahon, 260 U.S . 393, 415
(1922) . Just how far a regulation must go before it
will be considered "too far" under the Fifth
Amendment has not been specifically defined by
formula or rule. -Consequently, judicial
determinations have relied on ad hoc factual
inquires and case-specific weighing of the competing
public and private interests.
C. The U.S. Supreme Court has identified factors to
guide courts in ad hoc factual inquiries. The
factors include:
1 . The economic impact of the regulation on the
claimant;
2 . The extent to which the regulation has
interfered with distinct investment-backed
expectation;
3 . The character of the government regulation.

Bros. V. City of New. Brighton, 425 N.W.2d 585

n inquiry) , (pet. fox, rev. denied. Minn.
July 28, 1988) .
i
SEP-29-�1994 08:46 NAC 612 595 9831 -_. P.05 08
D. The U.S. Supreme Court has recognized two categories
of regulatory action that constitution compensable
takings without a case-specific inquiry or balancing
of public and private interests. Lucas v. South
Carolina Coastal Council, 112 S.Ct. 2886, 2893
(1992) . The first occurs when regulations compel
owners to suffer physical invasion or occupation of
their property. The second occurs when the
regulation "denies all economically beneficial or
productive use of land. "
II. The Dolan Case.
A. Dolan,v. City.....of ._Tigard, S.Ct . (62 Law
Week 4576 (decided June 24, 1994)
B. Dolan challenged the decision of the Oregon Supreme
Court which held that the City of Tigard could
condition the approval of her building permit on the
dedication of a portion of her property for flood
control and traffic improvements. The State of
Oregon enacted a comprehensive land use management
plan in 1973 . Pursuant to state requirements, the
city developed a comprehensive plan which it called
its community development code (CDC) . - CDC requires
property owners in the area zoned central business
district to comply with a 15 per cent open space and
landscaping requirement which limits total site
coverage including all structures and paved parking
to 85 per cent of the parcel. It also requires that
new development facilitate this plan by dedicating
land for pedestrian pathways where provided for in
the pedestrian/bicycle pathway plan.
C. Dolan owns a plumbing and electric supply store
located on Main Street in the central business
district of the city. The store covers
approximately 9, 700 square feet on the eastern side
of a 1.67 acre parcel which includes a gravel
parking lot. Fanno Creek flows through the
southwestern corner of the lot and along its western
boundary.
D. Dolan applied to the city for a permit to redevelop
the site. Her proposal plan calls for nearly
doubling the size of the store to 17, 600 square feet
and paving a 39-space perking lot . The existing
store located on the opposite side of the parcel
would be razed in sections as construction
progressed on the new building. In the second phase
of the project, she proposed to build an additional
structure .on the northeast side of the site for
complementary businesses .and to provide more
parking.
2 .
5EP-29-1994 08:46 NAC 612 595 9837 P.06i08
E. The commission required that she dedicate the
portion of her property lying within the 100-year
flood plain for improvement of a storm drainage
system along Fanno Creek and that she dedicate an
additional IS-foot strip of land adjacent to the
flood plain as a pedestrian/bicycle pathway. The
dedication required by that condition encompasses
approximately 7, 000 square feet or roughly 10 per
cent of the property.
F. In a five to four decision, the Supreme Court held
that the city' s dedication requirements constitute
an uncompensated taking of property. Under the well
settled doctrine of' "unconstitutional conditions"
the government may not require a person to give up a
constitutional right in exchange for a discretionary
benefit conferred by the government where the
property sought has little or no relationship to the
benefit. In evaluating Dolan's claim, it must be
determined whether an "essential nexus" exists
between a legitimate state interest and the permit
condition. Nollan v. California Coastal Commission,
supra. If one does, then it must be decided whether
the degree of the exactions demanded by the permit
conditions bears the required relationship to the
projected impact of the proposed development.
G. preventing flooding along Fanno Creek and reducing
traffic congestion in the district are legitimate
public purposes; and a nexus exists between the
first purpose and limiting development within the
creek' s floodplain and between the second purpose
and providing for alternative means of
transportation.
Deciding the second question - whether the city' s
findings are constitutionally sufficient to justify
the conditions imposed on Dolan's permit - the
necessary connection required by the Fifth Amendment
is "rough proportionality. " No precise mathematical
calculation is required, but the city must make some
sort of individualized determination that the
required dedication is related both in nature and
extent to the proposed development ' s impact. This
is essentially the "reasonable relationship" test
adopted by the majority of the state courts.
The findings upon which the city relies do not show
the required reasonable relationship between the
flood plain easement and Dolan's proposed building.
The CDC already required that Dolan leave 15 per
cent of her property as open space, and the
3 .
SEP-2�-1994 08s4? NAC 612 595 983? P.07i08
undeveloped flood plain would have merely satisfied
that requirement . However, the city has never said
why a public as opposed to a private greenway in
required in the interest of flood control. The
difference to Dolan is the loss of her ability to
exclude others from her property yet the city has
not attempted to make an individualized -
determination to support this part of it$ request.
The city has also not met its burden of
demonstrating that the additional number of vehicle
and bicycle trips generated by Dolan's development
reasonably relates to the city's requirement for a
dedication of the pathway easement . The city must
quantify its finding beyond a conclusory statement
that -the dedication could offset some of the traffic
demand generated by the development.
III. Practical Implications of Do la .
A. The Dolan case has changed the rules regarding
dedications and exactions. specifically, the
government now has the burden of showing that the
degree of the dedication or exaction demanded by the
permit condition bears the required relationship to
the projected impact of the proposed development.
r-� B. The dedications typically required by the goverment
include the following: Park land (residential and
commercial) , trail segments, environmental easements
including conservation easements, .wetland easements,
bluff land easements, flood plain easements, ..scenic
easements, no mow, cut or disturb easements,
sensitive environmental area easements, bike paths,
sidewalks, drainage easements, utility easements,
street right-of-way easements, highway right-of-way
easements, off-site street easements, off-site
ponding, solar access easements, and height
limitations.
C. In evaluating the city's proposed condition, it must
be determined (1) whether an essential nexus exists
between a legitimate state interest and the permit
condition, and whether the degree of exactions
demanded by the permit condition is reasonably
related both in nature and extent to the proposed
developments ' impact.
IV. Here are three examples that frequently occur.
A. Developer Bob proposes a 75 single-family detached
housing subdivision in the City of Exaction. As a
condition to subdivision approval, Exaction requires
that Developer Bob dedicate the upper portion of the
property for an arterial roadway. Developer Bob
4.
SEP,w29-1994 08:48 NAC 612 595 9837 P.08i08
says it is not reasonably related to the project
because 750 trips does not require an arterial. The
City argues that the arterial is necessary as part
of the city-wide transportation system.
B. The second example involves the park land
dedication. Developer Bob proposes a mixed
commercial use project. consisting of multiple retail
uses. As part of the PUD approval., exaction
requires a park dedication for the upper corner of
the project . Developer Bob argues that park land
dedication is not reasonably related to the
commercial use. Exaction argues that it is
necessary for its city-wide park plan.
C. The third example involves the dedication of
off-site ponding. Developer Bob proposes a mixed
commercial use. As part of the conditions to
approving the PUD, Exaction requires that Developer
Bob dedicate land for off-site ponding. Developer
Bob argues that it is not reasonably related to the
impact of the project . Exaction argues that it is
necessary for the city-wide drainage requirements.
V. Conclusion.
A. The Dolan case places a strict burden on the city to
make an individualized determination substantiating
that the required dedication is related both in
nature and extent. to the proposed development ' s
impact. It may not be enough for the city to rely
on previous calculations .
B. The U.S. Supreme Court has recently demonstrated a
penchant for protecting property rights. As a
result, state courts will review the conditions of
zoning approvals by municipalities with more
scrutiny.

City of Lino Lakes
Park Board Goal Setting Meeting
Thursday, September 22, 1994
The goal setting meeting started at 6:15pm at the Lino Lakes
Park, Recreation and Forestry building on September 22, 1994 .
Members present were Brian Bourassa, Amy Donlin, Pam Taschuk,
George Lindy, and Ken Johnson. Staff in attendance were Marty
Asleson, Parks, Recreation and Forestry Coordinator, Barry
Bernstein, Recreation Program Supervisor, and Sandie Wood, Parks,
Recreation and Forestry Secretary. Board member Sharon Lane
arrived at 6:30pm.
Marty Asleson started the meeting by reviewing the goals in the
Comprehensive Park Plan and Development Guide and the criteria
for prioritizing acquisition according to the plan. Marty
advised the board that the dedicated park fund total as of August
31, 1994, is $147, 000, total committed funds of unspent pending
projects is $83, 800, leaving a total dedicated park fund balance,
after commitments, of $63,200. He than passed out a memo from
Mary Kay Wyland that indicated $202, 963 remain to be transferred
from the individual subdivisions escrow account (s) to the park
fund. She indicated the transfer of funds would be made prior to
fiscal year-end 1994 . Marty talked about the survey that was
done in 1988. He then discussed a handout that indicated the
rating of park facilities and activities. Marty said that he had
put money in the budget to do another survey next year but he did
not know if the money would remain there.
George Lindy discussed the change in population. He said we all
have to keep that in mind when we are planning neighborhood
parks. Currently they are toddlers but in 5 years or so they
will be older and the parents will want different things in their
park. As an example, a baseball field instead of playground
equipment. He said a good example of population change is the
Brandy Wood development. There is only three teenagers in the
whole area and the rest are younger. Marty thought 60 percent of
the kids were between the ages of 3 and 5.
Amy passed out a survey. She stated she had meet with different
neighborhood groups and they had formed this survey. Marty said
the Recreation Focus Committee should be involved in the survey
process if one is done. Amy asked if this survey could be passed
along to the City Council. Marty responded yes. Brian said he
thought the survey was slanted and recommended that they meet
with the person on the Recreation Focus Committee who seemed to
have expertise in this area. Amy was thankful for the feedback
and said she would take this information back to her neighborhood
groups. Pam suggested that when a survey was done we look for
someone that is working on a masters degree and would do the
survey as a research project. Amy talked about the Mayor' s
20/20 Vision and voiced her concerns with it.

Marty explained that since the last Park Board meeting he has
talked with Council Person Linda Elliot and she said the City
Council will be ready for a work session, with the Park Board, in
January to discuss alternative funding and where things are
going.
Marty commented on the goals of the Park Board for the last two
years and their status:
1993 Goals

Park Board Goal Setting Meeting
Thursday, September 22, 1994
RICE LAKE ESTATES - $40000 committed to park development by the
development agreement, plus the sale of two lots. One lot is
buildable and we would have to request a variance to the wetland
laws for the second lot.
LINO PARK PARKING LOT - $5000 for parking lot improvements -
Done.
SUNSET OAKS PARK - $300 for access to park - Not Done.
CONCEPT DESIGN FOR MISCELLANEOUS PARKS - $2000.
BIRCH PARK - Land acquisition - $8000.
NEW AND UNAPPROVED ITEMS - Shoreview Park Shelter - $10000
After general conversation on the status of the 1993/1994 goals
Marty discussed an issues report he had written. He also passed
out a map so members could see the areas he was discussing.
Future Land Needs:
N-14 - Dedication was taken for land development in the Woods of
Baldwin Lake II.
Dedication dollars were also taken for the Woodridge development.
We still have park land needs in this area.
N-11 - Birch Park - dollars are needed to purchase additional
land for the Trappers Crossing Development. Dollars from
Trappers Crossing should be used for this.
JU-3 - Pheasant Hills Preserve - Dollars from the PHP development
should be used to purchase 8-10 acres in this area. He feels the
school is not going to develop it as a school site.
Marty briefly discussed new, partially or fully dedicated parks,
no amenities with the board members. This included Shores of
Marshan, Wenzel Farms, Birchwood Acres/Park Grove, Qual Ridge,
Brandy Wood, and Pheasant Hills Preserve parks. He then
continued by talking about Birch Park and Woods of Baldwin Lake
Park which are new, partially or fully dedicated parks with some
amenities. The overview continued by discussing older park areas
with some amenities which included Lino, Arena Acres, City Hall,
Sunset Oaks, Sunrise, Shenandoah and Lamotte Parks. Older park
areas with no amenities (Rice Lake Estates) and Joint use parks
with some amenities (Rice Lake Elementary) were the last items
discussed in this presentation.

City of Lino Lakes
Park Board Goal Setting Meeting
September 22, 1994
There was discussion on land acquisition at Birch Park and the
cost. Marty stated that he estimated the cost to be
approximately $8, 000.
Amy asked about dedicated fees and if they were guaranteed. It
was explained that developers must post a bond and the city would
get the money even if they went bankrupt.
Marty continued by explaining staff and his role in the process.
He went on to say that when establishing goals for 1995 he hoped
the board would included a realistic look at available staff and
the need to hire contractors if necessary. He did not feel it
was likely that additional staff would be hired for 1995 . He
also continued by saying that as more improvements are made more
pressure is put on the department to inspect, correct and
maintain the areas.
Brian thought the Park Board had programmed rather well for 1994
as everything was completed but one item. Marty commented that
we did meet the goals that were set, but other things were
neglected, such as inspection for safety and appearance. Ken
asked who makes the determination on whether a job is contracted
or not. Marty responded that it was the City Council that makes
the decisions. Ken suggested that after the priorities are set
maybe they should be looked at and decide how much manpower is
needed and establish what should be contracted.
Marty told the Park Board that he was going to propose to redo
the trail development ordinance. He would like to get the
contractors to do the trails in the development rather than the
city doing them. Marty talked about another city that receives
$150/lot to go towards trail development.
Marty told the board that Moline Concrete would like to do
something in the community, on the north side, whether it be
completing a city park or something else. Marty told Moline
Concrete that the N-7 Park cost $240, 000 to develop. They to
Marty that they do pre-formed concrete picnic tables and asked
how many he wanted. The Park Board members hoped something
would come out of this.
George then said the board should look at what was not done last
year and then look ahead at future issues. There was general
discussion on the status of N-14, Country Lakes Park, trails, A-
3, Rice Creek Estates, Wenzel, Pine Ridge, Brandywood, Quail
Ridge, Shores of Marshan, N-12, Rice Lake Elementary Tennis
Courts, Pheasant Hills Preserve and the status of the Shoreview
building. Ken stated that projects that are near completion
should get top priority. Marty added that the trail on Jeanne
Drive is important and should be considered.

M-3 - Wenzel Neighborhood Park - $15, 000. (950-. developed)
Picnic area, grading and playground equipment. The developer has
irrigated 1/2 the park. Do concept plan with neighborhood input.
M-2 - Shores of Marshan Neighborhood Park - (98% developed)
Have a pleasure rink this winter. Leave this park until Shores
of Marshan II is done. No need to budget money for the rink.
N-13 - Brandywood Neighborhood Park - $20, 000 top end. (980-o
developed) To be discussed after concept plan is done.
Playground equipment, grading, seeding, and brush removal.
Enter into a business agreement with person that has a bobcat and
is willing to do work in the park. (if insurance issue can be
resolved)
N-10 - Pine Ridge Park - $13, 000-$15, 000 . (80% developed)
Park is graded and seeded. Concept plan is done. There is 5
acres in the park and 5 acres is proposed.
N-12 - Quail Ridge - (60% developed)
This area should be looked at to see what level of development is
done and see if there is eminent need. Decided to put on hold
Lino Park - $2, 000 approved last year for inside lighting. 1994
- finish park building for warminghouse.
George stated that they need to look at the items from previous
priority lists and make sure that funding is not being set aside
again.
Marty told the Park Board that there would no longer be free
water for flooding ice rinks. We will be given a meter and
charged $1.45/1000 gallons of water used. It would be a good
idea to make rinks on ponds in the areas that have them.

City of Lino Lakes
Park Board Goal Setting Meeting
September 22, 1994
Some of the work may have to be contracted out or have the
neighborhoods help build them. Marty explained that it cost $400
to have someone from the playground equipment company come out
and help put the equipment together. Marty stated that we had
enough manpower to do a couple of large projects and a couple
smaller projects each year and still keep up with the maintenance
that is necessary.
It was noted that the cost of the items on the priority list came
to approximately $90, 000. There was discussion on what the cost
of the projects done last year came to and what the total cost
would be for the two years.
There was discussion again on the trail ordinance. Marty said he
was going to be doing research on this and would report back to
the Park Board.
It was requested that the priority list be put in the next Park
Board meeting packets so the members could review, prioritize,
and bring them to the meeting.
