Based on appraisals recently taken on other plats. Mr. Haas felt the dedication for this plat should be between $3.450 to $7.486. After some discussion. the Commission did not accept the $2.000 offer for park dedication, recommending that Mr. Holmberg either have the land appraised to obtain an accurate value or to come back with another offer for park dedication. Wayne Holmbera - stated he is trying to save some extra costs, and apparently he can submit another offer. Chairperson Kieffer stated that is his option. MOTION by Woods, Seconded by Paulson, that we do not accept the $2,000 and let Mr. Holmberg either make another offer or get an appraisal. Motion carried on a 5-Yes, 2-Absent (DeLarco, Lindahl) vote. \ ',J CEDAR HILLS 2ND ADDITION PARK DEDICATION Byron Westlund. Woodland Development - stated the proposed development of Cedar Hills 2nd Addition is approximately 42 acres in northwest Andover. Because of the six-acre park of Timber Trails in that vicinity, they would offer cash in lieu of land, hopefully to be used for further development of the Timber Trails park. They are offering a value of $2,800 per acre, or $12,600 in park dedication. The Commission agreed with accepting cash in lieu of land for this development: however, they did not feel the $2,800 per acre accurately reflected the value of the land. Mr. Haas pointed out that similiar land in two different plats was appraised at $3.800 per acre. Mr. Westlund - then offered cash park dedication based on $3,800 per acre. which comes to about $15.961. The Commission agreed. MOTION by Woods. Seconded by Andover, that we accept the $3,800 per acre offer of cash in lieu of land for Cedar Hills 2nd Addition Park Dedication. Motion carried on a 5-Yes. 2-Absent (DeLarco, Lindahl) vote. ~) KELSEY-ROUND LAKE PARK GRANT APPLICATION UPDATE CONTINUED Chairperson Kieffer asked for input regarding the proposal of the City acquiring the pond that is not a part of the overall park dedication for Wayne Bachman's plat. Mr. Bachman has told Mr. Haas he would be willing to sell the land for $3,000 per acre and the boundary of the park not to exceed 30 feet beyond the pond limits. The area to be , " ,-) . I . \-.1 , ) Park and Recreation Commission Meeting Minutes - March 5. 1992 Page 3 (Kelsey-Round Lake Park Grant Application Update Continued) purchased would be about five to six acres. Chairperson KIeffer thought that that area would be a very nice addition to the park and that it is easily accessible from the main parking area. An option for obtaining the land would be condemnation. The Commission reviewed the latest proposal for lots surrounding the pond and the pros and cons of adding the pond to the park. After some discussion. the Commission generally agreed there are so many other amenities in the park already, it is not worth spending that kind of money for the pond. They would look at another offer if Mr. Bachman wIshes to make one. Mr. Haas stated he will talk with Mr. Bachman about the matter again. HIDDEN CREEK EAST 4TH ADDITION PARK DEDICATION PROPOSAL " , / Mr. Haas stated another park lieu of land is recommended. which is consistent with the Creek East 3rd Addition done is not needed in this area, so cash in Good Value Homes has proposed $3,700, park dedication figures used for Hidden in 1990. The Commission discussed whether an updated appraisal is needed or one is needed on every development, noting one has not been done in the urban service area for a period of time. It was finally agreed that because this is a small addition and the offer is consistent with the previous addition, they will accept the offer. However, it was felt that an appraisal should be required for one of the larger plats coming in in the near future. MOTION by Anderson, Seconded by Auger, to accept the $3,700 offer from Good Value Homes for Hidden Creek East 4th Addition cash in lieu of land park dedication. Motion carried on a 5-Yes, 2-Absent (DeLarco. Lindahl) vote.
