City of Arden Hills Chapter 11 - Subdivisions <br /> <br /> 11 - 1 <br />Adopted August 12, 2002 <br />Chapter 11 - Subdivisions <br /> <br />Section 1100 - General Provisions <br /> <br />1130.08 Public Use Dedications. <br /> <br />Subd. 1 Streets Utilities and Storm Water. The developer of a parcel of land shall <br />dedicate to the public all streets and utility and drainage easements, as reasonably <br />required by the City Council, in order to integrate the proposed development with the <br />City's current and anticipated utility systems. The area to be dedicated for public use <br />shall be delineated on the proposed plat or otherwise conveyed by easement to the City <br />prior to the issuance of any development permits. <br /> <br />Subd. 2 Recreation and Conservation. Based upon a review of its comprehensive <br />plan and utility systems, the City Council has determined that all subdivision of property <br />within the City will place a greater demand on the City's need to acquire land for parks, <br />playgrounds, trails, wetlands or open space if the City's physical environment is to be <br />preserved and enhanced. Therefore, in addition to the dedications required by Subd.1, <br />the developer of a parcel of land shall dedicate to the public for use as parks, <br />playgrounds, trails, wetlands or open space, a reasonable percentage of the tract to be <br />developed. In determining the percentage of dedication, the City Council shall take into <br />consideration the amount of open space, park, recreational or commons areas and <br />facilities which the developer has designed into the proposed development for use by <br />occupants of the development. The City Council shall be guided by the following criteria <br />in establishing a particular percentage dedication requirement: <br /> <br />A. Gross density in percentage dedication in dwelling units per acre for <br />residential projects. <br /> <br />1. Zero to two shall be 6%. <br /> <br />2. Over two to three shall be 7%. <br /> <br />3. Over three to four shall be 8%. <br /> <br />4. In excess of four shall be 10%. <br /> <br />B. Nonresidential projects or combination residential and commercial <br />projects. The percentage of dedication for nonresidential projects or <br />combination residential/commercial projects shall not exceed ten (10%) <br />percent. <br /> <br />C. Delineation of area to be dedicated. The area to be dedicated for <br />recreation and conservation uses shall be delineated on the proposed plat or <br />otherwise conveyed by easement to the City prior to the issuance of any <br />development permits. <br /> <br />D. Cash in lieu of dedication. In lieu of the dedication of land for <br />recreational and conservation purposes, the City Council may require the <br />developer to pay to the City, as an equivalent contribution, an amount in cash <br />equal to the percentage of the land required to be dedicated, multiplied by
