Mounds View City Council March 22, 2004 <br />Regular Meeting Page 7 <br /> <br /> 1 <br />Mayor Linke questioned the market value of $15,000 given by Ramsey County. 2 <br /> 3 <br />Director Ericson indicated it has been the City’s past practice to use the Ramsey County assessed 4 <br />valuation for determining the park dedication fee rather than requiring an appraisal for every 5 <br />subdivision. 6 <br /> 7 <br />Mayor Linke suggested 10% of the sale price because lots are worth than $15,000. 8 <br /> 9 <br />Director Ericson offered to discuss the park dedication fees with the City Attorney as for how to 10 <br />handle future subdivisions. 11 <br /> 12 <br />Mayor Linke indicated the City used to look at more than the assessed value and he would like to 13 <br />review this because the Ordinance does not state how the value is determined. 14 <br /> 15 <br />Council Member Gunn indicated she would have a problem with changing the practice during 16 <br />Mr. Waldoch’s application because he had been told $768.00 and that was moved to $1,536 and 17 <br />now there are discussions on charging him even more. She then said that she would be fine with 18 <br />reviewing the policy and practice for the next subdivision but not for this one. 19 <br /> 20 <br />Mr. Waldoch asked Council to consider his application under the current rules and review the 21 <br />rules for future subdivisions. 22 <br /> 23 <br />Director Ericson indicated that for the past seven years the City has used this process and he 24 <br />would not like to see a change midstream in the process of this application because Mr. Waldoch 25 <br />and the person purchasing the newly created lot have been told that the park dedication fee would 26 <br />be charged based on the assessed value. He then offered to look into the City’s process for future 27 <br />subdivisions and asked that Council approve as recommended. 28 <br /> 29 <br />Mayor Linke agreed to approve this based on seven years of past practice but asked that Staff 30 <br />look into this for future subdivisions. 31 <br /> 32 <br />Council Member Stigney agreed that it would be unfair to penalize Mr. Waldoch but said he 33 <br />would like to have the process reviewed for future applications for subdivision. 34 <br /> 35 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Stigney. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 6179, a 36 <br />Resolution Approving a Minor Subdivision for Duane Waldoch, 2935 County Road 10. 37 <br /> 38 <br /> Ayes – 3 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 39 <br /> 40 <br />E.
