r. L The Council has the optionof a cash contribution in lieu of land dedication. In those imt^ces where a cash contribution is to be made by the subdivider, in lieu of a conveyance or dedication of land, the cash contribution to be contributed shall be equivalent to the fair market value of the equivalent undeveloped land that would otherwise have been conveyed or dedicated. The City shall account for such flmds in a special fund named Park Dedication Funds. These funds arc to be used only for the acquisition, development and improvement of public parks, playgrounds, trails, wetl^ds, or open spaces, and debt retirement in connection with land previously acquired for such public purposes. The cash contribution is 8% of the fair market value of the properties. A minimum contribution of $2,900 per lot or a maximum $4,900 per lot would be required if the City requires a cash contribution rather than a land dedication. This item will be forwarded to the Park Commission for review at their next meeting. Given the location of the park area, it is possible the Park Commission will request a land dedication rather than collecting a park dedication fee. Land around the northerly ravine is most likely a candidate for dedication. Issues for Discussion 1.Should lot width variances be approved for lots not meeting the minimum width requirement on the cul-de-sac? 2.The pond on Lot 1 requires credit for the drainage area to be buildable. Should credit be granted for the lot. Typically, credit has only been given for stormwater ponding areas as part of a Planned Residential Development. 3.Should the Outlot be a public road? The Comprehensive Plan suggests urban residential and urban service areas should be served with public roads. 4.Is the proposed road layout acceptable? Should two roads be provided (Garden Lane/Outlot A) or would it be acceptable to combine into one road? Should Garden Lane be extended filler to the north to provide future access to other properties? 5.Would a Park Dedication be appropriate for any portion of the development due to the proximity of the Saga Hill Park? If so what areas may be appropriate for dedication? 6.The road and most of the lots will drain towards the NURP pond shown on Lot 1. The pond outlets to the drainage ravine along the south lot line of Lot 2. There is concern about the drainage being diverted into one location before it drains to the east side of Wildhurst Trail.
