Overall, the Commission felt comfortable using the current method. However, it was generally felt that it might be helpful to use the League of MN Cities Method as an additional guide, possibly calculating comparisons every couple of years. The current Park Dedication rate for residential is 10% of the land or $4,000 per unit. For non-residential, the rate is 5% of the land or 10% of the FMV. There was discussion at the City Council level and at the Commission about makingthe commercial land amount the same as the commercial FMV amount. The Commission typically reviews the Park Dedication Ratesannuallyfor any adjustments. The last review and recommendation was inNovember2016(see attached 2016 rate comparisons) when the Commission recommended an increase inthe Residential Park Dedication ratefrom $3,500/unit to $4,000/unit and an increase intheCommercialPark Dedication ratefrom 7%FMV to 10% FMV.It may beappropriate to remain the same in 2017/18 except toequalize the land FMV as has been discussed (making the commercial land amount 10% which is the same as the FMV cash amount). In your packet for your reference is the park dedication ordinance and the Leagues of MN Cities Methodology outlineand comparisons of a residential and commercial development.
