MEMO TO: Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commission <br /> • FROM: Staff <br /> DATE : November 2 , 1982 <br /> RE : Park Dedication Ordinance <br /> As you will remember, staff presented a verbal report regarding <br /> the City Planning Commission recommendation of increasing the <br /> maximum dedication per acre of the undeveloped land in this <br /> city from a dollar amount to a flat ten percent. The Park <br /> Commission after a brief review adopted the Planning Commission <br /> recommendation and this recommendation was forwarded onto to <br /> the Planning Commission for their final adoption . <br /> After reviewing their initial recommendation, the Planning <br /> Commission determined that the ten percent dedication would be <br /> too exorbitant on a single and duplex lot amounting to as much <br /> as $3 ,000 for a large duplex lot. Consequently it was referred <br /> back to staff for additional review and staff did additional <br /> • research on the issue and provided a recommendation back to <br /> the Planning Commission of which I have included a copy for <br /> your review. <br /> As can be noted by the revised recommendation by staff, we have <br /> scaled down the maximum dedication to reflect a sliding scale <br /> ranging from a 3% to a high of 10% based on the density of the <br /> property . In addition, staff requested that the sub-divider <br /> receive credit for an existing single family unit should they <br /> desire to split an existing lot rather then paying full allotment. <br /> Staff ' s recommendation is based on the reviewal of a number of <br /> surrounding metropolitan agencies and closely matches that of the <br /> City of Shoreview' s current park dedication ordinance of which <br /> I have included a copy. <br /> This issue will be going before the Planning Commission and City <br /> Council for their final review during the coming two weeks and <br /> staff would once again like to review this issue with the Park <br /> Commission and receive some type of endorsement or reaction for <br /> the City Council to work on . Should you have any questions regard- <br /> ing staff ' s recommendation on this issue , feel free to contact me <br /> directly at extension # 41. <br />
