'« n TO: FROM: Council and Planning Commission Alan P. Olson, Village Planner DATE:December 5, 1978 SUBJECT: Park Dedication Fees « « On November 14, 1978, the Council discussed revision to the park dedication fee ordinance. I recommend review and adoption of the attached ordinance draft. This is an exerpt from the most recent draft subdivision regulations which have been under study for the last year, I recommend calling a public hearing for the first meeting in January. The revisions include language arising from the recent Supreme Court decision involving the Bloomington ordinance. Other changes from the existing ordinance Include: 1. Commercial - Industrial Dedication. 2. Increase in rates on certain densities: Five (5) acre lot from 1-1/4% to 5% Two (2) acre lot from 2-1/2% to 10% 3. Establishment of flat race (minimum) fee of $250.00 for building permits on existing lots rather than the percentage rate which often ran up to the maxinv.-n $1,000 fee. 4. Clarification of policy wherein no fee is charged for existing residences or building sites when a division is made, i.e.; a lot split will be charged one fee,not two; a five lot division with one existing house will be charged four fees, not five. STAFF UPDATE - DECEMBER 28, 1978 Council suggested review of a simplified flat fee type of dedication by staff. Covincil also requested review by the Park and Planning Commissions. The attached December 28, 1978 draft clarifies the Park/Planning Commission review process. It retains the density formula for land dedication. It establishes a flat fee for cash contribution. The fees listed are similar to Norm Paurus's suggestion and to Eden Prairie's schedule. The flat fee will be quicker to calculate, especially for the applicant, but the rates shown will reduce the income. fSee examples on the attached page.) » I
