<br /> Per acre rate <br /> Per 1,000 sq. ft. (non-residential) <br /> <br />Staff discussed a comparison of other metro cities Park Dedication rates. The average 2020 <br />residential rate is $3,329 of the metro cities surveyed. <br /> <br />Chair Hoag noted that it does not appear that the League of Minnesota Cities formula that the <br />Commission reviewed last year has been adopted by other cities in the metro based off of the <br />comparison chart. He also added that as the last increase was in 2017, the city may be due for a cost <br />of living increase. However, it does appear that the current rate is right in the middle of the metro <br />rates. <br /> <br />Staff relayed that they are continuing to look at the League of Minnesota Cities formula. However, at <br />this time some parts of the method need further examination and explanation before staff would feel <br />comfortable with moving forward. <br /> <br />Commissioner Baggenstoss stated that based off of the metro cities comparison chart it appears that <br />some cities have built in a system for single family vs. multifamily residences and vice-versa. He <br />questioned what the City of Roseville’s priority would be. <br /> <br />Commissioner Stoner analyzed the metro cities comparison table and relayed that a rate of $4,500 <br />would put Roseville’s Park Dedication rate in the upper 75% of cities. Stoner offered that a $500 <br />increase is appropriate for residential rates because Roseville does not use FMV and land prices are <br />increasing along with Roseville placing a high priority on its parks compared to other cities. In <br />addition, he noted that the non-residential rates appear appropriate to other cities. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brown questioned what justification would need to be provided by the Commission <br />to increase the rates. Staff responded that it would be based off of the needs laid out in the Master <br />Plan. <br /> <br />Vice-Chair Dahlstrom stated that a $500 increase would be 12.5% which he feels is too high. He <br />would support an increase of 2%-4%. <br /> <br />Commission Heikkila asked if staff has ever spoken with developers to understand their feelings or <br />feedback on potential increases. <br /> <br />Vice-Chair Dahlstrom relayed that he felt that developers and the Builders Association may view a <br />12.5% increase as too high and they may start lobbying for a change in the laws to limit the Park <br />Dedication fees. Dahlstrom stated that he believes that a consistent incremental increase each year <br />would be a better approach to reach the 12.5%. <br />4 <br /> <br /> <br />
