recommendation as to whether the City should accept land, cash, or a combination, to satisfy the Park Dedication requirement. The developer was present at the meeting to answer any questions. The developer provided the history of the purchase of the parcel. Commissioner Arneson relayed that he would support recommending cash in lieu of land as the parcel is not connected to Reservoir Woods. The Commission discussed the small size of the potential 0.15 acres park and if that land could be useful as a pocket park. They agreed that the size and location would not be a beneficial addition to the park system. Commissioner Brown moved to recommend cash in lieu of land to satisfy Park Dedication at 691-711 Shryer Avenue to the City Council. Commissioner Arneson seconded. Roll Call Ayes:Arneson, Beckman, Boulton, Baggenstoss, Brown, Dahlstrom, Raygor. Nays: None. Abstain: None. b) Park Dedication Recommendation - 2560 Fry Street Maps were provided to show the location of the 2560 Fry Street parcel. The proposed development is located in Constellation I of the Parks and Recreation system. Staff noted that Constellation I is largely commercial and Rosebrook Park effectively serves the residential homes in that constellation. The developer had relayed to staff that they don’t have land available to allocate towards a park in the current proposal and that a recommendation of land could inhibit their ability to move forward with the project. The proposal includes ten units on a 1.17-acre development. The project qualifies for Park Dedication. The cash amount for the nine additional units wouldbe $38,250 ($4,250 per unit). The required land amount would be 10% of 1.17 acres or 0.117 acres. Staff noted that the Master Plan does not specifically call out additional park land in this area. The Comprehensive Plan does state a goal of procuring land adjacent to existing park parcels. Upcoming Capital Improvements at Rosebrook over the coming years include the pool and playground. 2
