Case #8: <br /> <br /> DISCUSSION OF PARK DEDICATION <br />By: Mark S. Banwart, Community Development Director <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />On July 25, 1988, City Code 170.06 Park and Open Space as mended went into effect. The <br />purpose of the ordinace is to provide funds which the City can dedicate and use only for the <br />acquisition of parklands, playgrounds, wails and/or open space, as well as provide a means for the <br />City to acquire a reasonable portion of each new subdivision for public use as parks, playgrounds, <br />trails and/or open space. <br /> <br />In accordance with 170.03 Subdivision: 170.032 Interpretation and Scope, the definition of <br />"subdivision" is the division of a tract of land into two (2) or more lots or parcels of land for the <br />purpose of transfer of ownership or building development. The term includes resubdivision and, <br />when appropriate to the context, shall relate to the process of subdividing or to the land <br />subdivided. This definition has led to some question as to the intent of the Park and Open Space <br />Dedication Ordinance. If a large lot of a subdivision, which is already contributed towards park <br />dedication, is subdivided, is the intent of the ordinance to require additional park dedication? For <br />your information, the following item is enclosed: <br /> <br />Ordinance #88-4 regarding park and open space dedication <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Action will be based on discussion. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />City Attorney <br />City Engineer <br />Community Development Director <br /> <br />Chief of Police <br />Finance Officer <br />X Planning & Zoning Commission X <br />X Parks & Recreation Commission X <br /> <br /> <br />
