. . . . , .. Minutes of Regular Council Meeting, March 11, 1985 Page three Status Report, Northpark Business Center Park Dedication A preliminary negotiating session has been held with Woodbridge Properties regarding park dedication for this development. They are proposing that their construction of a small park on this property, including ponding area, fountain and park benches be considered their entire dedication for this area. Council noted this is something they planned to construct as part of their site plan, primarily for the benefit of future tenants. In discussion, Council noted that: the ponding on the site is not used by other Village areas for drain-off, sentiments were expressed for reasona- ble cash settlement. Hicks stated he sees no rationale in using lower percentage dedication for businesses than for residential. Council consensus was to negotiate for a cash settlement in lieu of land, of not less than 77. (107. less 37. credit for ponding area). OTHER BUSINESS DORS.
