Centerville 2040 <br /> City may locate parks where multiple dedications may occur or use dedication <br /> funds to acquire additional land. Identified corridors in the City's plan for <br /> bicycle/pedestrian trails will also be dedicated as part of the City's park land <br /> dedication requirements. <br /> The dedication of land should be based upon net developable land. Wetlands <br /> and other unbuildable land may be included in a land dedication, but only in <br /> excess or in addition to the minimum developable land requirement. In other <br /> subdivisions, the developers will be required to make payments in lieu of land <br /> dedication. The City will not accept the dedication of park land in developments <br /> where parks are not planned. <br /> Funds received from payment in lieu of park land dedication will be placed in a <br /> separate fund designated for park land acquisition and improvements. The <br /> dedication formula required in the subdivision regulations will be determined <br /> by the City's Capital Improvements Program, park development plans and <br /> strategy for needed park land and park improvements. <br /> t. a <br /> The Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve, located in the <br /> northwestern corner of the City, has an overall land area of 4,400 acres, of which <br /> 149 acres are within Centerville's City limits. A master plan for the Rice Creek <br /> Chain of Lakes Regional Park was recently adopted by Anoka County. The <br /> Regional Park Reserve accounts for 9.6% of the acreage of Centerville. This <br /> regional asset is shown on the City's Parks and Trails Plan. The Metropolitan <br /> Council's classification as a regional park reserve requires that 80% of its land <br /> area must remain in a natural state. Existing facilities within the Regional Park <br /> Reserve are picnic areas, parking, boat launches, canoe launches, fishing pier, <br /> campgrounds, nature center, heritage lab, a prairie restoration project, cross <br /> country ski trails, a swimming beach with bathhouse/restroom, playground and <br /> drinking fountain, and Chomonix Golf Course. <br /> The City recognizes the value of the park reserve as a resource to the region <br /> and the City, and will continue to take measures to insure protection of the <br /> reserve from adverse impacts of development. <br /> Chapter S I Page 5 <br />
