■ If a municipality is given written notice of a dispute over a proposed fee in
<br />lieu of dedication before the municipality's final decision on an
<br />application, a municipality must not condition the approval of any
<br />proposed subdivision or development on an agreement to waive the right
<br />to challenge the validity of a fee in lieu of dedication.
<br />The italicized bullet points are particularly important because they point to the
<br />overall theme in State Statutes for setting the park dedication fee. Essentially, the
<br />park dedication fee must be reasonable and proportional to the impact of the
<br />subdivision on the park system. For example, it would be difficult to require one
<br />residential lot to be pay a fee of $20,000 while another lot pays a $5,000 fee when
<br />the impact is essentially the same. Most single-family residential lots will have a
<br />similar impact on the City's park and recreational system. Therefore, in order to
<br />be consistent with other recent park dedication fees, Staff reviewed the fees from
<br />plats going back to 2005.

<br />Average
<br />$5,215
<br />At $4,375 per lot, the park dedication fee for Christensen Estates is below the
<br />average park dedication fee required in other recently approved plats. However,
<br />to stay in conformance with City Code and State Statutes, the park dedication fee
<br />for Christensen Estates cannot be raised higher than $4,375 for each of the three
<br />net new lots. Staff is recommending a total park dedication fee for Christensen
<br />Estates subdivision of $13,125. This is the maximum fee, and it can be reduced
<br />by the City Council.
<br />F. Development Agreement (1140.04 Subd 2)
<br />Although there are no public improvements associated with this property, a
<br />development agreement will be prepared to address future grading, erosion
<br />control, wetland protection, the park dedication fee, and any other long-term
