AttachmentE <br />December 6, 2011 – excerpt of approved minutes <br />1 <br />Preliminary information on park dedication for the 17.8 acres at Cleveland and County Road C <br />2 <br />were presented to the Commission by Brokke. A proposal to develop the property into a Walmart <br />3 <br />Shopping Center has begun to be reviewed by City staff. The role of the commission is to make <br />4 <br />recommendation to the Council whether to accept land, cash or a combination of to satisfy the <br />5 <br />park dedication requirement. <br />6 <br />A recent potential proposal from the Walmart Representatives was to provide land dedication in <br />7 <br />another area of Langton Lake. There is a possibility of a combination of land and cash as well as <br />8 <br />the traditional all land dedication or all cash payment. The park dedication fees could contribute <br />9 <br />to possible Master Plan projects. Commissioner Ristow suggested the commission consider <br />10 <br />recommending the cash in lieu of land based on past needs and recent financial discussions. <br />11 <br />January 3, 2012 – excerpt of draft minutes <br />12 <br />Etten continued the discussion of park dedication considerations for the proposed Walmart <br />13 <br />development in Twin Lakes. Earlier considerations included a parcel of land in an area away <br />14 <br />from the development that might have served as a nice addition to Langton Lake Park. This land <br />15 <br />dedication is no longer an option to fulfill the park dedication requirements. Etten also clarified <br />16 <br />that the actual size of the parcel is 13.94 acres, rather than the 17.8 acres reported earlier. This <br />17 <br />change in size is due to 3.86 acres being sold earlier to the City for the Twin Lakes Parkway. The <br />18 <br />updated land equivalency for park dedication is .68 acres and the updated cash payment would <br />19 <br />be $411,115, based on 5% of the FMV. <br />20 <br />Commission Recommendation: <br />21 <br />Motion by Doneen, second by Ristow to recommend the Roseville City Council accept cash in <br />22 <br />lieu of land for park dedication in the proposed Walmart development. Commission questions <br />23 <br />followed. <br />24 <br />D. Holt inquired into what the land options were/are for the site. Brokke explained that <br />25 <br />there were no appropriate park development options for this site. <br />26 <br />Azer asked for a clarification of how the park dedication funds can be used. Brokke <br />27 <br />clarified that the funds cannot be used for maintenance or ongoing costs but can be used <br />28 <br />for land acquisitions, park development, and facility enhancement. The park dedication <br />29 <br />funds could be used to further expand the projects identified by the Parks and Recreation <br />30 <br />Renewal Program. <br />31 <br />Motion passed unanimously. <br />32 <br />Note: Greg Simbeck favored the cash in lieu of land option through his email to notify staff of <br />33 <br />his absence from tonight’s meeting. <br />34 <br />Page1of1 <br /> <br />
