ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JUNE 22, 2020 18 <br /> <br />dedication fees were charged based on the use. He recommended the park dedication fees be <br />deferred until plans are submitted for the lots. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes stated she would like to see the park dedication fees charged to Bethel <br />with the assumption a fire station and potential senior housing was being considered. If this <br />changes, the park dedication fees could go up or down. <br /> <br />Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla stated the park dedication could be <br />charged now, however, this may require refunds and reversals in the future. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes did not believe it was fair to have the future developer paying the park <br />dedication fees. She recommended these fees be passed along to Bethel University at this time. <br /> <br />Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla indicated the City could calculate the <br />potential fees for the lots and charge Bethel at this time. He stated Bethel could then pass these <br />fees along to the future developers. He explained he would need some time to calculate the <br />numbers if the Council wanted to proceed in this manner. <br /> <br />City Attorney Jamnik advised park dedication fees would be at the Council’s discretion. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked if this piece of property was being treated differently than any <br />other property proposed for subdivision and redevelopment. <br /> <br />Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla explained the City was not treating <br />this property any differently. <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott reported the City Council needed a motion to extend the meeting. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a <br />motion to extend the City Council meeting to 10:35 p.m. A roll call vote was <br />taken. The motion carried (5-0). <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes stated her concern with the project was who would be charged the park <br />dedication fee in the future. <br /> <br />Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla explained the park dedication fee <br />would be charged to the future land developer. <br /> <br />MOTION: Mayor Grant moved and Councilmember McClung seconded a motion to <br />approve Planning Case 20-005 for a Master Planned Unit Development and <br />Preliminary Plat/Final Plat at 2 Pine Tree Drive, based on the findings of fact <br />and submitted plans, subject to the following (16) conditions in the June 22, <br />2020, Report to the City Council. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes asked why the City would be participating in the cost share of the <br />roadway with Bethel University. <br />
