<br />I ... . <br />I .. ~ <br /> CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br />I- MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: July 8, 1996 <br />I TO: Mayor & City Council . ~ <br />I FROM: Cindy S. Walsh, Parks & Recreation DirectorG) <br />I SUBJECT: Control Data Corporation Park Dedication <br /> Back!!:round <br />I As a part of Control Data Corporation's (CDC) request for approval of a PUD Master Plan and a <br /> Preliminary Minor Subdivision, CDC is required to fulfill park dedication requirements. The <br /> City currently has a temporary lease agreement with CDC that allows parking for Cummings <br />I Park users. I would like to ensure that the City has a permanent parking area for Cummings <br /> Park, as CDC fulfills their park dedication requirements for Planning Case #96-05. <br />I When staff originally discussed the parking issue with CDC, they were not interested in allowing <br /> the City to continue to park in the location that we currently use. However, in recent <br />.. conversations between staff and CDC, CDC agreed to give the City a permanent parking <br /> easement in the area where Cummings Park users currently park. I think that gaining a <br /> permanent easement to use the existing lot would be a win-win situation for both the City and <br />I CDC for these reasons: <br /> 1. The City would benefit from not having to clear trees to create a lot. <br />I 2. The City would also not have to expend additional money from the Park Fund to build <br /> and maintain a City owned parking lot. <br /> 3. CDC would benefit from not having to pay a fee to the City. <br />I 4. The lot the City would create would have been located by the water tower, which is not as <br /> close to the park as the existing CDC lot. The location of the lot we use now would <br /> provide much better access for park users. <br />I Park Dedication Agreement <br /> Control Data Corporation, City Staff, and the Parks & Recreation Committee are all in <br />I agreement that CDC would fulfill park dedication requirements by providing a permanent <br /> parking easement for 50-60 parking stalls. CDC has also indicated that they would dedicate an <br />I additional 100 foot strip of wooded property located west of the parking lot and east of our <br /> existing trail. The details of the lease are as follows: <br />I 1. Provide the City with a permanent parking lease/easement. We would need about 50-60 <br /> parking stalls from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. every day. <br />f' <br />I <br />
