HOLMBERG ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT PARK DEDICATION
Chairperson Kieffer reviewed past action on park dedication for the Holmberg
Addition located in Section 12-32-24. When Mr. Holmberg met with the
Commission at the October 17, 1991 meeting, the Commission was
recommending cash in lieu of land. The proposed Comp Plan amendment
,::) suggested a community park in the area of Ward Lake. This proposed plat is

considered too far south to warrant land to be dedicated. The Commission
does not change its original recommendation.
The Commission informed Mr. Holmberg about their park dedication policy: the
amount is based on 10% of the raw undeveloped land or an equivalent amount
in cash. An amount from one or more certified appraisers is acceptable,
according to the commissioners. Mr. Haas will be contacting Mr. Holmberg in
regard to dedication.

Charles Cook, 12093 Hex St., Coon Rapids, represented Continental
Development, Inc.
Commissioners DeLarco, Anderson. Wood and Auger agree with Chairperson
Kieffer: the Park Board doesn't need dedicated land in this development
because of public school and City Hall accessibility. The commission also
noted accessibility to the present park from 148th Street.
The commissioners and builder representative agree on cash for park
dedication.
Charles Cook said that the baby trees in this development are available to the
Park Board because they will be destroyed in grading. He expects site work to
begin in Mayor June.

acquire the full acreage along the south property line of the development and
then going from that south line, going east, we would take seventy-five feet
(75') coming north from the creek.
On Page 1, in the section titled, Weybridge Preliminary Plat Dedication, the

engineer, . . .
MOTION by DeLarco, seconded by Anderson, to approve the January 02,

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
)
The Commission and Frank Stone, Public Works, discussed the proposed
Weybridge park dedication in reference to their policy of acquiring park land
(see minutes of January 02, 199~). The Park Board felt that their funds were
being used to' acquire dedicated land for an easement in sewer trunk line
development. Mr. Stone expressed that Public Works had proposed this action
only because it would benefit both the Park's trail system and Public Works
and that it was not their intention to take this property just so they would have
an easement for the trunk sewer line. Chairperson Kieffer said that the Park
Board did not need two hundred feet (200 ') for the trail system because
seventy-five feet (75') was adequate, but that there might be a possibility in
designating the area for nature rather than just for the trail system. He
concluded that the Park Board misunderstood the proposal of Public Works.
The commissioners will be discussing this dedication at a later time with the
City Council.
Commissioner Anderson reminds Mr. Haas to resume the exploration of the
original park dedication with Old Colony Estates of May 19, 1988 and to ask
the City Attorney to determine if the original developer or all three current
developers are liable for cash dedication.
The commissioners also wondered if the grant money had been received.
They expect to be notified soon, possibly by the next meeting.
Chairperson Kieffer expressed concern regarding motorized vehicles in the
'\ parks. He questioned the type of recourse available if the vehicles are

reported rather than caught. A suggestion was made to have a deputy or
sheriff discuss this topic with the Park Board and to examine the ordinance.

passed unanimously.
