Moreover, Mr. Carl Buechler has requested to subdivide a parcel of property into four or five lots located off Mound Trail. According to the City's park dedication fee policy the Developer will need to pay $950 per lot or 10% of the price he is willing to pay for the property, whichever is higher. During the October 7, 1998 Park and Recreation meeting the committee discussed Mr. BuecWers request to lower the $50,000 park dedication fee. The Park and Recreation committee recommended that the Council make the decision on this issue and they will support the Council's decision. Mr. BuecWer commented that he has been cooperative and has tried to work with the community. However, the proposed development consists offive lots and $10,000 park dedication fees per lot is too much to charge. Therefore, the Developer requested the Council to reconsider the $50,000 fee and lower the park fees. Councilmember Brenner did not agree with deviating from the ordinance because the City may be setting a precedence for future developers/developments. Mr. Buechler noted he could develop four lots instead of five. Then no park dedication fees would be required, and the City would lose out on the park fees and the tax base. Mayor Wilharber referred to the park dedication fee schedule for residential developments in the metropolitan area and recognized the majority of cities charge minimal park fees. Councilmember Buckbee requested 10% of the raw value land and requested the purchase price. Mr. Buechler did not disclose the purchase price for the property. Councilmember Brenner moved to deny Carl Buechler the request to pay $950 park dedication fees per lot and to up hold the current ordinance for future developments. 3
