MEMORANDUM To: Parks and Recreation Commission From Lonnie Brokke Date: October 23, 2012 Re: Notes for Commission Meeting on Thursday, November 1, 2012 1. Introductions/Public Comment Invited Commissioners and staff will be introduced. Public participation and public comment is encouraged. 2. Approval of Minutes of the October 2, 2012 Meeting Enclosed is a copy of the minutes of October 2, 2012. Please be prepared to approve or amend. Requested Action: Approve/amend minutes of the meeting of October 2, 2012. 3. Community Engagement Task Force Report Greg Simbeck and Randall Doneen serve on the Human Rights Commission Community Engagement Task Force as representatives of the Parks and Recreation Commission. Simbeck and Doneen will be prepared to report on the latest progress on this effort. Included in your packet is a copy of the general "areas for recommendation" from the final draft report that was presented to the City Council on Monday, October 22, 2012. Requested Action: Commission discussion and feedback 4. Highcrest Park 3rd Addition Park Dedication Included in your packet is another Park Dedication item involving the Meritex property. This is the one that was mentioned at your September meeting that would be coming to you for a discussion and recommendation. Included in your packet is a site, plat and proposed development map. The proposal is for an industrial warehouse/distribution facility. The site is approximately 12.97 acres. You requested that when Park Dedication items come to you in the future, you would like to see how a land dedication might fit into the plan. In this case, the property owner representative has requested that the proposed developer work directly with Parks and Recreation. As they have formulated their proposal, the entire acreage is needed to make their development work. Therefore, they have opted not to provide a land option and are respectfully requesting that the Commission consider the cash option only. In this case the cash option with an estimated Fair Market Value at $2,447,800 x 05% = $122,390. For your information there is 12.97 acres in the area x .05 = .64 acre. Requested Action: Commission discussion and possible recommendation 5. Park Dedication Rates Discussion The Commissions role is to review and recommend park dedication rates. The most recent increase for residential rates was last November, 2011 when the rates were increased from $3,000 to $3,500 per unit. Based upon the survey of other communities, system needs, CIP, Master Plan outline of needs and the fact that an increase occurred last year to keep pace, it may be appropriate for the rates to remain and be reviewed again next year. The Commercial Park Dedication has remained at 5% of FMV for several years. Translating
