Case #3: Recommend Park Dedication for Val Vista Estates City Civil Engineer II Linton stated Eugene Valerio is requesting sketch plan approval to create two new lots from his 9.67-acre parcel located at 16514 Jaspar Street NW, Ramsey. The Planning Commission case is attached for your reference. The City has the option of cash, land or a combination of cash and land for park dedication. The City's 2003 park dedication fee is $1800 per residential lot; existing homesteads are exempt from park dedication fees. The plat will be subject to the park dedication rate in effect at the time of final plat approval. Park dedication fees must be paid prior to the City releasing the plat for recording at Anoka County. The City has established a trail development fee at a rate of $475 per unit; existing homesteads are exempt from this fee. The plat will be subject to the trail fee in effect at the time of final plat approval. This feed must be paid prior to the City releasing the mylars for recording.

Case #4: Review Park Dedication for Rivenwick Village Sketch Plan City Civil Engineer II Linton noted Turtle Moon Inc. owns a 31.5-acre parcel zoned Mixed Use Planned Unit Development (MU-PUD). The property is north of Riverdale Drive and south of US Highway #10. Ryland Homes has a purchase agreement to develop 26.5 acres. The proposed development will have three styles of townhomes per their submittal. The Planning Commission case is attached for reference. The City has the option of cash, land or a combination of cash and land for park dedication. The City's 2003 park dedication fee is $1800 per residential lot; existing homesteads are exempt from park dedication fees. The plat will be subject to the park dedication rate in effect at the time of final plat approval. Park dedication fees must be paid prior to the City releasing the plat for recording at Anoka County.

The plat will be subject to the trail fee in effect at the time of final plat approval. This feed must be paid prior to the City releasing the mylars for recording. The Planning Commission reviewed this project on November 6, 2003. Staff has had discussions with Ryland Homes regarding possible rearrangement of the plan to incorporate a public street and shorter private drives. This area zoned is PUD, which allows for latitude by the Council in accepting the final plat. The Park Commission should consider what they would expect in Park and Trail Dedications.
