As of Tuesday , November 2 we have received delivery of two buildings , one at Hillview and one at Woodcrest Park with the third building scheduled to be moved into Groveland Park during the next week . In addition to the buildings having arrived, we have completed the footings for the two buildings at Groveland and Woodcrest Parks and staff is still debating as to the best location for the Ilillview Park shelter building . Improvements that have • been made or are in the process of being made to the buildings include re-roofing , complete scrape down and exterior painting , window modification and general carpentry repairs . Staff feels that the buildings will be a welcome addition to the park system and feels confident that we will be able to complete the project as initially projected at $24 , 000 by the December 1, 1982 deadline . BKA/sll MEMO TO: Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commission • FROM: Staff DATE : November 2 , 1982 RE : Park Dedication Ordinance As you will remember, staff presented a verbal report regarding the City Planning Commission recommendation of increasing the maximum dedication per acre of the undeveloped land in this city from a dollar amount to a flat ten percent. The Park Commission after a brief review adopted the Planning Commission recommendation and this recommendation was forwarded onto to the Planning Commission for their final adoption . After reviewing their initial recommendation, the Planning Commission determined that the ten percent dedication would be too exorbitant on a single and duplex lot amounting to as much as $3 ,000 for a large duplex lot. Consequently it was referred back to staff for additional review and staff did additional • research on the issue and provided a recommendation back to the Planning Commission of which I have included a copy for your review. As can be noted by the revised recommendation by staff, we have scaled down the maximum dedication to reflect a sliding scale ranging from a 3% to a high of 10% based on the density of the property . In addition, staff requested that the sub-divider receive credit for an existing single family unit should they desire to split an existing lot rather then paying full allotment. Staff ' s recommendation is based on the reviewal of a number of surrounding metropolitan agencies and closely matches that of the City of Shoreview' s current park dedication ordinance of which I have included a copy. This issue will be going before the Planning Commission and City Council for their final review during the coming two weeks and staff would once again like to review this issue with the Park Commission and receive some type of endorsement or reaction for the City Council to work on . Should you have any questions regard- ing staff ' s recommendation on this issue , feel free to contact me directly at extension # 41. MEMO TO: Mr. Frank Campbell , Engineering Tech . FROM: Bruce K. Anderson , Director Parks , Recreation and Forestry DATE: October 14, 1982 RE,. Park dedication ordinance After reviewing a number of communities ' local ordinances regarding their park dedication ordinance, I would recommend that we modify our current city code to reflect the following figures and statements : Density Maximum Dedication Per Acre as a % of Fair Market Value of Undeveloped Land 0 Dwelling units/acre 3% 2.1 Dwelling units/acre 4% 3.1 Dwelling units/acre 5% 4.1 Dwelling units/acre 6% 5.1 or more Dwelling units/acre 10% • In addition to the aforementioned density table, staff would recommend the following paragraph be added: 1 . The subdivider in any parcel of land zoned single family residential , which has located thereon one ( 1 ) single family dwelling , and to sub- divide said parcel into additional lots , should receive a credit for the existing single family dwelling unit be excluding the acreage of the occupied parcel , remaining after subdivision , from the computation of density and apply the provisions of Chapter 42 subdivision 13. Staff would concur with the remaining verbage in Chapter 42.13. It should be noted that at this time, the revised proposal has not been presented to the Park Commission which staff would recommend happen at the regularly scheduled meeting on October 28, 1982. Should you have any questions regarding staff's recommendation on this issue, feel free to contact myself directly at extension #41.
