Dear Mr . Miller :
Decision Resources, Ltd . , is pleased to present this, survey
research proposal to the City of Lino Lakes . I am certain that
DRL can provide you with the information you seek in both a cost-
effective and timely manner .
Ft NWIISE OF TW RESE "
This Recreational Attitudes Survey would assess both the
attitudes and needs of Lino Lakes residents. The sur•vPy
instrument would contain a number of distinct sections. Part of
the questionnaire would be a "recreational lifestyle" assessment
-- a series of questions on the recreational pursuits of Lino
Lakes residents. In the past , other cities have found the
citizen profiles which can be established extremely useful for
long range planning purposes. Another section of the
questionnaire would examine current recreational program and park
usage -- inside and outside the city -- as well as the demand for
in-city facilities and programs. This section would provide a
facilities and programming evaluation to guide the policy makers,
in recreation planning and land acquisition decisions. A third
section would explicitly assess attitudes toward the city, itself
-- satisfaction, likes and dislikes, "connectedness, " expected
residential longevity, and other perceptions which bear
indirectly on recreational programming . These questions provide
a more global view within which recreational concerns can be
judged . Normally, the questionnaire concludes with a series of
demographic queries to measure differences among groups of
citizens -- for example, between new-comers and long-time
residents, sections of the city, age, or income.
The precise topics to be included in the survey would be
specified by the City; the discussion above is simply meant to
indicate the general format of. similar residential . surveys.
Several cities have included questions about other issues faring
the community, such as development policies, budget priorities .

but the structure is left up to the client . This preliminary
discussion can be arranged at a time convenient for the City
staff after completion. and delivery of the written analysis.
7. Meeting with the Commission and/or City Council and staff to
explain and discuss the results of the survey. This final
discussion and strategy session can be arranged at a time
convenient for the Commission and/or Council members and staff

survey findings and their implications.
IP1kAJ®R RED PERE
Dr . William D. Morris will act as Principal Investigator for the
study and will work closely with the staff in developing a
reliable survey instrument and deducting policy relevant
conclusions.
,'�N Ms. Diane Traxler will serve as Project Director and will oversee
all phases of the research and analysis.
and city services. It should be kept in mind that citizens are
very willing to discuss local issues and , unlike other types of
surveys, we have found the greatest challeTige is expeditiously
moving through the questionnaire, rather than maintaining the
interest of the respondent !
DESIGN OF TtJE [RESE T:
Decision Resources, Ltd . , proposes to conduct a telephone si.irvey
of 400 randomly selected households in Lino Lakes. A random
sample of this size would provide results projectable to the
entire city within + 5.0 percent in 95 out of 100 cases. lh(�
questionnaire would be composed of both closed-ended queries, in
which ' respondents choose from a set of answers , and open-ended
queries, in which top-of-the-mind replies are sought . The survey
would be conducted by DRL trained and supervised personnel .
The company is proud of the fact that the average length -)f
employment of the DRL phoneys is five years : most of the phoners
who would be involved in this project have been with the Company
for seven years. The employment stability of our phoners is
unique in the industry, and provides our clients with the most
sophisticated and proven corps of interviewers available in the
region.
The computer analysis will be conducted through the DRL remote
job entry facility to the University of Minnesota CYHER system ,
insuring both access to the most current statistical analysis
programs and confidentiality of the data set .
The City of Lino Lakes will be presented with two bound copies of
the final report , highlighting all the major findings of the
study. DRL will also speak to any major differences and
similarities with the other recently completed suburban quality
of life studies undertaken for Shoreview, [Roseville, Saint
Anthony, Cottage Grove, Plymouth, Inver Grove Heights , Eagan,
Woodbury, and Little Canada. The final report is composed of a
written commentary on the findings and their implications and all
computer generated cross-tabulations. In addition, the findings
will be presented by me at meetings with the staff, the Park and
Recreation Commission, and/or the City Council .
Let me speak to one fear that generally arises in dealing with
any market and survey research firm. Too many survey research
users report being left with volumes of undecipherable statistics
to make relevant policy prescriptions on their own. If you were
to talk with any of our current and former city clients , you
would find that this is definitely not the case with DRL. The
principals of the company are willing to spend as much time as
necessary with staff, commissions, and city officials to develop
and refine the policy implications of the analysis. In the past ,
we have presented findings at working sessions, facilitated group
discussion meetings, and given formal presentations to the
public . The extent of DRL involvement in any matters pertaining
to the survey or its implications is jointly determined with the
PROJECT COSTS:
The overall cost of a 400 randomly selected household telephone
survey of sixty question units length would be $4 ,800.00. Eauh
additional question unit beyond sixty would cost $60.00. The
sample size of 400 will permit the results to be broken down into
subgroups of interest , such as location of residence, longevity ,
occupation, age, and so forth . Prior surveys for cities have ruri
between sixty and one-hundred forty question units, with no
difficulty in "hang-ups" because of questionnaire length .
Company policy requires fifty percent of the total cost prior to
the commencement of any interviewing ; the remainder would be di-te
at the time of the delivery of, the bound written reports.
I hope this proposal sufficiently covers the parameters of t I I e
Lino Lakes Recreational Attitudes Study . For your possible
information, I have also included several materials about DfRL ,
its clients, and a sample of a study undertaken iri the City of
Eagan. ( That study focused not only on general recreational
information but also the feasibility of a Community Recreation
Center bond referendum. ) If you have any further questions ,
please feel free to contact me.

MEMORANDUM
TO: LINO LAKES PARK BOARD
FROM: JOHN MILLER, CITY PLANNER
DATE: NOVEMBER 16, 1987
SUBJECT: CHANGING PARK DEDICATION FEES
WHERE THE CITY IS NOW: The subdivision ordinance is that
part of the city code that provides the authority for Lino
Lakes to take land and money from developers for park
purposes. There is nothing unique about this . Minnesota
statutes allow all Minor Civil Divisions to do it and to my
knowledge every township and municipality in the
seven-county metropolitan does require the "park
dedication. "
That' s about where the similarity ends though. Each local
unit of government has some freedom to establish the amount
of land or money that it will take. In December of 1986
Lino lakes amended its subdivision ordinance to establish
the following rules.
* The city may choose either land or cash
* For residential , commercial , and industrial
development the city may take 10 percent of the
total land area.
* In place of the land the city may choose to take
$160. 00 per dwelling unit for residential
developments.
* In commercial and industrial developments Lino Lakes
may choose to take cash equivalent to ten percent of
"fair market value" of the undeveloped land.
* The money is placed in a dedicated park fund and can
be used only for park purposes. At present there is
$134, 362 . 54 in the fund.
WHAT OTHER PLACES ARE DOING:
This is so complex we've got to look at each part of the
dedications individually. The commercial and industrial
park requirements are the easiest , so let ' s start with them.
PARK DEDICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR
COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL LAND
PLACE PERCENTAGE OF SITE FOR DEDICATION
Plymouth 10
Vadnais Heights 10
Shoreview 10
Little Canada 10
Roseville 10
White Bear Township 10
Oakdale 10
Mahtomedi 7
White Bear Lake 5
Maple Grove 5
Coon Rapids 3-5
Fridley 3
Historically there are two trends here. About three or four
years ago, roughly half of all places in the metropolitan
did not require any park dedication for commercial or
industrial development. Obviously the trend has been toward
the requirement . Moreover most places require ten percent
of the site if land is taken.
The second trend (neither are shown in the first table) with
park land dedication is the use of a formula other than "ten
per cent of the value of the undeveloped land" when cash is
chosen instead of land.
FORMULA REQUIREMENTS FOR DETERMINING
COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL LAND
DEDICATION PAYMENTS
PLACE FORMULA FOR DEDICATION
Apple Valley $15 , 000 per acre X 10 percent

It ' s interesting that the places going to the formula are
all fast growing, quality oriented communities . One of the
main 'reasons for the formula is ease of negotiation.
Instead of requiring proof of the land' s value, the city
quickly multiplies the amount by the size of the parcel and
the cash amount if determined. Clearly this is the trend
and ten years from now many more places will be using
commercial/industrial formulas .
There is a drawback to using the formula though. If a city
has both very high value and very low value commercial and
industrial land some developers pay less than they otherwise
would, while others pay more. For example, land near the
Mega-Mall would benefit from having a formula where remote
industrial land would probably be penalized-if both were in
the same city.
Now let' s look at residential development. Here' s where it
starts to get complicated. First let ' s examine what happens
in different communities if the decision is made to take
land and not money.
PARK DEDICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR
RESIDENTIAL LAND
PLACE PERCENTAGE OF SITE FOR DEDICATION
Plymouth 0-25 percent of site, density based
Vadnais Heights 9-20 percent of site, density based
Coon Rapids 5-18 percent of site, density based
Oakdale 5-17 percent of site, density based
White Bear Township 10-15 percent of site, density based
Arden Hills 10-15 percent of site, density based
White Bear Lake 10 percent of total site
Shoreview 10 percent of total site
Little Canada 10 percent of total site
Roseville 10 percent of total site
Fridley 10 percent of total site
Mahtomedi 7 percent of total site
From this it ' s easy to see there are two ways of determining
the land requirement for residential areas :
* The straight 10 percent
* A percentage based on overall density
Now let ' s examine how places with density requirements
determine their land needs .

With sewer available, Lino Lakes can expect about three
dwelling units per acre. Anything above that is some type
of townhouse or condominium, or apartment . To date, this
hasn' t been a problem for the city because no apartments
have been constructed. There is land zoned for
multiple-family development though and the board members
might want to give this concept some thought for application
to that land.
We' re just about through all of the data review. The last
area is the cash dedication per dwelling unit if cash is
taken in lieu of land and if the ten percent rule isn' t
used.

Lino Lakes 160. 00 160. 00
WHAT SHOULD LINO LAKES DO?
1. Lino Lakes needs more park money. The current budget
proposal is for $23, 000 of capital improvements . That ' s
not much for park improvements when you take into
account the fact that 150 houses were built in Lino
Lakes in 1987 . The $23, 000 doesn' t do much for the 500
new residents .
2. There are several plats about to be filed with the city.
If Lino Lakes wants to increase its park dedication
requirements it should do so quickly.
3 . The city should not change the ten percent land
requirement for commercial and industrial property.
4. The city should keep the ten percent land requirement
for single family development .
For multiple--family development Limo Lakes should adopt
a progressive land requirement . I would suggest this
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 close to that used by Plymouth and the city
has experienced a fair amount of apartment construction in
the last few vears. 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 .
l6i 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
were collected by Joel Schilling in Vadnais heights . Or.
November 17th, he told me that several communities in
the northeast part of the metropolitan area are
currently considering increases in park fees .
7 . Continue the practice of getting title to the land or
the cash payment prior to park approval . Most
metropolitan area municipalities try to improve parks
before neighborhoods are fully developed. This practice
is made possible by collecting the park fees at the time
of platting rather than when building permits are
issued.

Re: Park Board concerns over budget cuts
It has been brought to my attention that the Park Board has
some concerns over budget cuts in 1988 which would affect
the Park Department ' s operations.
I have pulled together budget figures from the last three
�.� years which show significant increases to the Park
Department budget . Those figures are as follows :
Operational Fund Capital Outlay
1986 $ 71 , 095 . 00 $ -0-
1987 $ 93, 975. 00 $ 12, 000. 00
1988 $122, 584. 00 $ 23, 000. 00
In a year ( 1988) when the City Council has frozen the mill
rate, Federal Revenue Sharing has been cut completely, and
State Aids reduced, city operations have had to be cut back.
You can see by these figures however, that the Park budget
has steadily increased over the past 3 years. In fact these
increases are significantly higher than many other general
fund department budgets.
I felt the need to clarify this issue once it was brought to
my attention that the Park Board felt so strongly on this
isssue. I hope this has answered your concerns regarding
the budget . If you still have questions, please contact my
office.
For your information, the City Council will be finalizing
the 1988 Budget at their December 14th Council meeting.
