TO: <br />FROM: <br />RE: <br />pxTpnpT a?jn RFOOmmENDATION <br />Orono City Council <br />Orono Parks Commission <br />Proposed New Park Ordinances and Park Dedication Fee <br />Schedule <br />DATE: <br />COPY: <br />November S, 1989 <br />City Administrator <br />City Engineer <br />For more than 18 months, the Orono Parks Commission has <br />been studying the Orono Parks Dedication Fee Schedule and <br />Ordinance. Based on that study and the reasoning set forth <br />herein, we recommend that new Ordinances and Fee Schedule be <br />adopted in the form of Exhibits A and B attached to this <br />memorandum. <br />Adoption of the new Fee Schedule and Ordinances wo ;ld <br />accomplish the following: <br />1. Bring Orono's Pcurk Dedication Fee Schedule and <br />Ordinances in conformity with that of similar Minnesota <br />communities <br />2. "'' Raise the Park Dedication Fee to a level consistent <br />with that levied by other communiti i and provide an automatic <br />adjustment for inflation (since it is tied to a percentage of <br />the value of the land being subdivided). <br />3. Provide more adequate funding for parks, playgrou, <br />trails and open space as our community is subjected to <br />inevitable development pressures.
