Park dedication increased in 2014 due to increased residential construction. The Parks Commissions reviews park dedication proposals when a developer requests preliminary plat approval. The land or fee dedication is not received until the developer records the final plat with Washington County. The timeline is set by the developer. There were also a couple rural minor -subdivision which require payment of the park dedication fee. On June 9, 2010, the Parks Commission approved a proposal for Prairie Village that included dedication of .67 acres of land adjacent to Oneka Elementary School as well as paying a fee per lot at the time of final plat. In 2014, Prairie Village 3rd Addition received final plat approval and $62,592 was received. There are 30 lots in Prairie Village that have yet to have final plat approval and at that time the remaining $58,680 will be dedicated. On February 26, 2014, the Parks Commission approved a proposal for Fox Meadows that included a proposal to pay fees to satisfy park dedication. With 57 lots and a fee of $2,400 per lot, a total of $136,800 would be paid. The 1 st Addition included 34 lots and $81,600 was paid in 2014. The remaining $55,200 will be paid with future final plat approvals. On December 11, 2013, the Parks Commission approved a proposal for Lavalle Fields that included dedication of 2.11 acres of land and paying the remaining 23% in fees. On September 25, 2014, the land dedication was received with the 1St Addition (Keystone Senior Housing). Future additions will include apartments which will pay 23% of the fee which would be $162,840. In summary, in 2014, the Parks Commission received $144,192 in park dedication fees as of September 30, 2014. Future park dedication may be up to $276,720 which would be made when the developer decides to move forward.
