Park Dedication <br /> <br />The Subdivision Ordinance requires developers of subdivisions to dedicate to the public a <br />reasonable percentage of the tract to be developed. Section 1130.08 Subd. 2 of the <br />Subdivision Ordinance indicates that for a subdivision that results in new dwelling units less <br />than two units per acre, the applicants shall dedicate six percent of the buildable land area in <br />the subdivision or pay a park dedication fee of six percent of the property’s land value. <br /> <br />The City Attorney has indicated that a park dedication based on the purchase price of the two <br />properties is appropriate in this Planning Case. The current purchase agreement between <br />Landmark of Arden Hills, LLC (Developer/Purchaser), and Bethel University (Owner/Seller) <br />indicates a purchase price of $856,000 for the two properties. Based on the purchase price <br />the park dedication fee would be $51,360. <br /> <br />D.
