JAN-24-'89 TUE 17:50 ID:CITY OF EAGAN TEL N0:454 8100 ~452 P04/06 To be e11gtble for park dedication credit, land dedicated is to be located outside of drainways, flood plains or pondtng areas after the site has been developed. Grades exceeding 12% or are unsuitable for parks development shall be considered for partial dedication. Where pondtng has been determined to have a park function, credit wtll be given at a rate of 50% of the pond and adjoining land area below the hlgh water level; a mtntmum of 70% of land above the high water mark shall be dedicated before pond credit is granted. Other City park dedication policies relattng to pond dedication must also be complted with. In those cases where subdividers and developers of land provide significant amenities such as, but not limited to swimming 'pools, tennis courts, handball courts, ball fields, etc, within the development for the benefit of those residing or worktng theretn, and where, in the judgment of the Director of Parks and Recreation, such amenities significantly reduce the demands for public recreational facilities to serve the development, the Director may recommend to the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission that the amount of land to be dedicated for park, playground and public open space (or cash contributions in lieu of such dedication) be reduced by an amount not to exceed 25% of the amount calculated under paragraph 2 above. The Ctty, upon review, may determine that the developer shall create and maintain some form of on-site recreation use by the site residents such as tot lots and open play space. This requirement may be in addition to the land or cash dedication requirement. ~ASH DEDICATION If, at the option of the City, it is determined that a cash dedication shall be made, said cash shall be placed in a special fund for Parks and Recreation use and deposited by the developer wlth the City prior to final plat approval. The City Council, upon review and recommendation of the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission, shall annually determine by resolution the park cash dedication fee per residential unit. Said fee shall be determined by the average market value of undeveloped residential property by zoning classification, served by major City utilities, divided by the number of units per acre, which shall provide the equivalency of twelve acres per thousand population.
