r 1r Given the recent number of subdivisions during the first part of the year, Community Development and 37 Parks and Recreation staff have reviewed the internal processes of reviewing a subdivision as it pertains 3, to park dedication. At the May 3, 2011 Park and Recreation Commission meeting, Commissioners 39 discussed the current process and suggested that it could be significantly improved by revising the 4 ('-) subdivision application to list the Park and Recreation Commission as part of the review process 4 1 outlined in the application, potentially including land dedication for park land, and including a copy of 42 the Park Dedication ordinance. 43 From the Commission's direction and staff discussions,, the subdivision applications have been revised 44 to more clearly that the park dedication ordinance may apply with a new subdivision. In addition, the 4�,, application now states that the applicant needs to contact the Roseville Parks and Recreation 46 Department so that the Roseville Parks and Recreation Commission can make a final recommendation 47 regarding park dedication. Under the new policy, the applicant must go to the Park and Recreation 4,', F Commission to submitting the subdivision application to Community Development. By doing 49 this,, the Park and Recreation Commission will be able to consider the park dedication requirements 5o early in the process and without the 60-day review land use review period beginning. If an application 'i is submitted without a recommendation regarding park dedication by the Park and Recreation 2 Commission,, staff will determine the application for a subdivision incomplete and return the 3 application. 54 POLICY OBJECTIVE 55 The requirement of park dedication is allowed under Minnesota State Statutes 4�62.353. The purpose is �` 6 to allow municipalities the ability to receive land or funds for park purposes to lessen the burden that 57 new development has on these facilities. 58 FINANCIAL IMPACTS 59 Park Dedication Fees bring in revenue to the City. As the amount is dependent on the level of development, it is difficult to predict exactly the amount of funds that will be brought in on an annual 6 i basis. 62 STAFF RECOMMENDATION 63 Staff is providing this report for informational purposes. 64 REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION No action requested.
