Stat. § 462.358 <br />subd 2c (c) ; Collis v. <br />City of Bloomington <br />310 Minn. 5, 246 <br />N.W.2d 19 (Minn. <br />1976); Middlemist v. <br />City of Plymouth, 387 <br />N.W.2d 190 (Minn. <br />Ct.

Stat. § 462.358 <br />subd 2b (d) <br />• Streets, roads and alleys <br />• Water, sewer, and similar facilities <br />• Gas, electric, and similar facilities <br />• Stormwater drainage and hold areas or ponds <br />• Parks, recreational facilities, and playgrounds <br />• Trails and sidewalks <br />• Wetlands and wetland preservation <br />• Open space <br />Prior to adopting dedication requirements in a subdivision ordinance, the city <br />must first adopt a capitol improvement budget and adopt a parks and open <br />space plan. The plan may be a component of the city comprehensive plan. <br />When the city requires land to be dedicated within a specific subdivision, it <br />must reasonably determine that: <br />• The city reasonably needs to acquire the specific portion of land for <br />reasons permitted by state statute (e.g. streets, parks, utilities) as a result <br />of approval of the subdivision (this is sometimes referred to as a nexus <br />requirement). <br />• The need created by the subdivision is roughly proportional to the city's <br />dedication requirement. For example, in a five -house subdivision, it may <br />be reasonable to require dedication of park land for a small, local swing - <br />set park. It may not be reasonable to require the same small subdivision <br />to dedicate multiple acres for a community park serving hundreds of city <br />residents. <br />The city must also give due consideration to whether the need for the <br />dedicated land has not already been offset or obviated by other actions of the <br />developer in setting aside for public use other open space, recreational, <br />common areas, or other facilities within the development. <br />SUBDIVISION GUIDE FOR CITIES 31 <br />
