r k'v 2001 Fee Scedule - Park Fees December 14, 2000 Page 2 units in Orono. The initial fee values had been established via Resolution #4063 on 4-13-98 at S2900-4900, and raised via the 2000 fee schedule adoption on 11-22-99 to $3100-5300. Councilmember Flint suggested that updated park cost projections be completed to justify the increase. The old and new projections are attached as Exhibits E and F. Commercial/Industrial Park Fee The second park dedication entry in the 2001 Fee Schedule states: “The City has established by resolution a minimum commercial/industrial park fee of $7,250 per dwelling un it acre and a maximum of $12,250 per dwelling unit acre.” There are two issues here. First, the change from dwelling units to acres is to correct a typo occurring in the 2000 Fee Schedule. Resolution 4064 adopted 4-13-98 established an equivalency of I dwelling unit = 10 employees. This was further refined by Resolution No. 4216 adopted 12-14- 98 which established a further equivalency of 25 employees per acre of commercial industrial zoned land. Therefore, the fee for commercial industrial was established on a per acre basis, at 25/10 or 2.5 times the dwelling unit rate; 2.5 x $2900 = $7250 per acre and 2.5 x $4900 = $12,250 per acre. Councilmember Flint correctly pointed out that the commercial/industrial fee should be increased accordingly when the residential fee is increased. 2.5 x $3100 = $7,750 and 2.5 x $5300 = $13,250. These new values should be adopted for the 2001 commercial/industrial minimum and maximum fees per acre. ni.Golf Course Fees The proposed golf course fee changes appear on pages 5 and 6 of Exhibit C. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED 1.Adopt the two attached resolutions revising the park dedication fees for both residential and commercial/industrial lands as noted above. 2. Adopt the 2001 Fee Schedule Ordinance with the revisions noted in this memo.
