CASE #2: REVIEW PROPOSED SKETCH PLANS OF MR. JOHN RAMBOSEK, MR. DALE VOLTIN AND MR. DAVE SCHULTE FOR PARK DEDICATION REQUIREMENTS By: Community Development Director Anne Norris Background: As you recall, at your December 10th meeting the Commission reviewed sketch plans proposed by Mr. John Rambosek, Mr. Dale Voltin and Mr. Dave Schulte. At that time, the Commission commented that they would like a chance to walk the property, but also noted that they anticipated their recommendation would be to acquire property along the ditch to satisfy the City's park dedication requirements. Since that time, Merland Otto has reviewed the property and has suggested several possibilities for land to be acquired through the park dedication process. For your information, enclosed are the following items: a) Site location map b) Mr. Rambosek's proposed sketch plan c) Mr. Voltin and Mr. Schulte's proposed sketch plan d) Proposed alignments for dedicating land along the ditch e) Ramsey Resolution #83-13 regarding park dedication requirements Observations: Section 170.06 of the City Code states that up to 8% of the gross area in a new subdivision may be required to be dedicated for public use such as parks, playgrounds and open space.
