Simbeck and Doneen will be prepared to report on the latest progress on this effort. Requested Action: Commission discussion and feedback 4. Park Dedication —Walmart This is a continued item from your December 6, 2011 meeting when Walmart representative, Andy Berg suggested that land near Langton Lake Park and away from the exact proposed Walmart site could be considered to satisfy the Park Dedication requirement but more research was needed. Since that time that parcel is no longer under consideration. Also since last month, it has been determined that the total amount of land being re-plated is 13.94 acres and not 17.8 acres as previously thought. The reason for the difference is that the City had previously purchased 3.86 acres of the 17.8 acres to construct the Twin Lakes Parkway but the County records had not yet been updated. The updated cash amount is approximately $411,115 (5% of the FMV). The land amount would be 5% of 13.94 acres or .68 acre. The primary role of the Commission is to review 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.
