<br />I - ~,':",~,~ <br /> ;; a <br /> 11~ I <br />I ARDEN HILLS CITY COUN<;;IL - MAY 28, 1996 ,~ <br />I' Councilmember M;tlone stated he appreciated the Amble's position, but that park dedication <br />I has been uniformly applied. He suggested placing a lien on the property requiring park <br /> dedication fees to be paid to the City prior to any sale of any property on the plat. <br />I Mayor Probst stated another option is to pay park dedication on the parcel being constructed <br /> on. <br />I Council member Keirn stated a lien may cause problems for the applicant when they apply for <br /> any construction loans from the bank. <br />I Mr. Filla stated the City had the option of a payment plan, but suggested over a limited period <br /> of time, such as 18 months, <br />I Mayor Probst inquired if the applicant felt that no park dedication was due. Mr. Amble <br /> replied they were willing to pay their portion, but since the family members were not new <br /> residents to the City the full fee should not be required, <br />I Councilmember Malone inquired if the park dedication fee has consistently been applied. Mr. <br />.. Filla stated that since 1988 the park dedication fee has been consistently applied, with six <br /> percent being expressed as a maximum for the gross dwelling units within the 0-2 range per <br /> acre. <br />I Councilmember Aplikowski inquired if the fee could be decreased. Mr. Filla replied it could <br /> be decreased at the Council's discretion, anywhere from zero to six percent. <br />I Mr. Fritsinger referred the Council to the memo from Cindy Walsh, Parks and Recreation <br /> Director, for her recommendation on park dedication fee calculations, <br />I Mayor Probst stated if the plat were a new development, the City would require a six percent <br /> park dedication fee for each lot. <br />I Mayor Probst inquired if the final plat could be approved and require any building permits <br /> subject to payment of the park dedication fee. <br />I Mr. Ringwald stated the value of the land is determined before utilities are installed, and he <br />I estimates an approximate value of $82,000 per lot. Mr. Filla stated utility costs may be <br /> approximately $15,000 to $20,000 per lot. <br />I <br />it <br />I <br />
