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