Requested Commission Action: Swearing in and thank you for willingness and interest to serve 4. Park Dedication a. Meritex Enterprises, Inc. Included in your packet is a proposed plat subdivision. The proposal is to subdivide the southern 6-acre triangle from the larger Meritex industrial property and leave the rest as an outlot. There is not a specific development proposal at this time, but preliminary discussions have been that an automobile parts wholesale distribution facility is interested in building on the property. The nature of the "outlot" is such that it may not be developed until it is re-platted later on. In this case, the intent is to re-plat the outlot into smaller lots when future development scenarios are solidified enough to determine where lot lines will be most appropriate. The current proposal is to subdivide the southern 6.0 acres off of the larger property. Included in your packet is a letter from Meritex to Pat Trudgeon, Community Development Director, requesting a waiver of the Park Dedication Fee. While you certainly can make a recommendation to the City Council that you feel appropriate, the primary role of the Commission is to review the development and offer a recommendation to the City Council on whether to accept land, cash or a combination. Included in your packet is a copy of the park dedication ordinance and State Statute 462.358 for your reference. Park Dedication does apply. The cash amount would be approximately $91,000 (5% of the FMV). The land amount would be 5% of 6.0 acres = .3 acre. General guidance from the Parks and Recreation System Master Plan on Parks and Open Space acquisition is to: 1) Add new parks and recreation facilities to achieve equitable access in all neighborhoods, accommodate the needs of Roseville's redeveloping areas and meet residents desires for a broad range of recreation opportunities serving all ages and cultures. 2) This area is located in constellation O where the larger Meritex parcel is identified as a potential acquisition.
