120Per acre rate <br />121 Per 1,000 sq. ft. (non-residential) <br />122 <br />123 Staff discussed a comparison of other metro cities Park Dedication rates. The average 2020 <br />124residential rate is $3,329 of the metro cities surveyed. <br />125 <br />126 Chair Hoag noted that it does not appear that the League of Minnesota Cities formula that the <br />127Commission reviewed last year has been adoptedbyother cities in the metro based off of the <br />128comparison chart. He also added that as the last increase was in 2017,the city may be due for a cost <br />129of living increase. However, it does appear that the current rate is right in the middle of the metro <br />130rates. <br />131 <br />132Staffrelayed that theyare continuing to look at the League of Minnesota Cities formula. However, at <br />133this time some parts of the method need further examination and explanation before staff would feel <br />134comfortable with moving forward. <br />135 <br />136 Commissioner Baggenstoss statedthatbased off of the metro cities comparison chart it appears that <br />137 some cities have built in a system for single family vs. multifamily residences and vice-versa. He <br />138 questioned what the City of Roseville’s priority would be. <br />139 <br />140 Commissioner Stoner analyzed the metro cities comparison table and relayed that a rate of$4,500 <br />141 would put Roseville’s Park Dedication rate in the upper 75% of cities. Stoner offered that a $500 <br />142 increase is appropriate for residential rates because Roseville does not use FMV and land prices are <br />143 increasing along with Roseville placing a high priority on its parks compared to other cities. In <br />144 addition, he noted that the non-residential rates appear appropriate to other cities. <br />145 <br />146 Commissioner Brown questioned what justification would need to be provided by the Commission <br />147to increase the rates. Staff responded that it would be based off of the needslaid out in the Master <br />148Plan. <br />149 <br />150Vice-Chair Dahlstrom statedthat a $500 increase would be 12.5% which he feels is too high. He <br />151would support an increase of 2%-4%. <br />152 <br />153 Commission Heikkila asked if staff has ever spoken withdevelopers to understand their feelingsor <br />154 feedback on potential increases. <br />155 <br />156 Vice-Chair Dahlstrom relayed that he felt that developers and the Builders Association may view a <br />157 12.5% increase as too high and they may start lobbying for a change in the laws to limit the Park <br />158 Dedication fees. Dahlstrom stated that he believes that a consistent incremental increase each year <br />159 would be a better approach to reach the 12.5%. <br />4 <br /> <br />
