Mounds View City Council August 8, 2005 Regular Meeting Page 24 owners in the immediate area in an effort to maintain good communication with the residents so 1 that they are aware of what is happening within the community. 2 3 Mayor Marty stated that he thought it was a bit odd noting that he had never seen Ordinance 745 4 Park Dedication Fees ever included in their packets before and asked if it had already been 5 questioned at the Planning Commission level with the intent to appeal the fee. 6 7 Director Ericson explained that it was pointed out to the applicants that they could appeal and it 8 is an ability that they have by virtue of recent statutory changes. He stated that in communicating 9 the 5-percent fee the applicants agreed that this would be much more reasonable. He explained 10 that the ordinance was provided along with the research as additional information for Council to 11 review. 12 13 Mayor Marty noted that in the past it was always 10-percent and asked if this is the first one that 14 would not be 10-percent. 15 16 Director Ericson confirmed that this is the first minor subdivision that could be open to whatever 17 Council felt would be appropriate up to 10-percent. He stated that in previous years the City 18 code indicated that a minor subdivision that is less than one-acre would be 5-percent adding that 19 there is no longer any such delineation as to the level of park dedication fee, it just needs to be 20 appropriate and reasonable based on the City Council’s determination. 21 22 Council Member Stigney referenced the list provided on the park dedication and asked how it 23 differs from the top one on the list, which had minor subdivision into two lots from three and 24 now they are going one into three and they were paying $5,670 at 10-percent. 25 26 Director Ericson stated that the 10-percent park dedication fee is what was originally done and 27 they are now recommending to Council that it be a 5-percent dedication fee consistent with all of 28 the previous minor subdivisions approved by the City. 29 30 MOTION/SECOND.
