MINUTES OF THE PARK COMMISSION MEETING OF MARCH 2, 1992 CLIFF OTTEN SUBDIVISION — CONT. Chair Flint reviewed that if Parcel B and C were not being divided at this time, Parcel A would not be considered at ali for park dedication because it is merely a lot line rearrangement . Vongries noted the exclusion of Parcel A will not dramatically affect the City, but may deter the appiicant from continuing . However , he reminded them that they cannot consider the person requesting and noted they should consider the precedent they are setting . Chair Flint stated that Otten doesn ' t want to pay the park dedication fee at this time, the application could be changed to a lot line rearrangement . Johnston suggested they assign dedication for only 2 acres of the 14 acre parcel and collect the remainder at the time of a future subdivision of the property. Vongries felt they could not do that . Wilson stated she had a problem requesting so much money from someone who is not developing the land further. Johnston disagreed and stated they cannot distinguish between the two scenarios . Chair Flint felt park dedication should not be required for Parcel A. Johnston asked if the developer of Sugarwoods came in with a proposal to rearrange all lot lines , how the Commission felt about reassessing park dedication fees .
