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