Commission Members Present: Commission Member Absent: Also Present: LeFebvre, Meyer & Nichols Rogers Mike Gair - North Birch Creek Estates Preliminary Plat d'Arcy Bosell - Planning & Zoning Commission NORTH BIRCH CREEK ESTATES PRELTh{INARY PLAT Mr. Gair explained he has been in contact with both Mr. Hagen and Mr. Klous. He understood they had three alternatives, the original proposed parkland; the area shown on the overlay; or cash in lieu of parkland. Chairman Mand asked what amount of cash Mr. Klous was willing to offer. Mr. Gair said whatever is 10% of the fair market value prior to subdivision. From past experience he thought the assessed value was around $500-$600 an acre. Chairman Mand advised Mr. Gair the ordinance is presently being revised and that some developers have offered 2 1/2 to 3 times the assessed value and the Council has been accepting these offers. d'Arcy Bosell said Mr. Hagen stated at the last Park/Recreation meeting that Mr. Klous would be present at this meeting with a dollar figure. Mr. Gair was not aware of this. He then attempted to reach Mr. Klous by phone without success. However, he felt Mr. Klous would agree to $7200.00 in lieu of parkland, this figure being based on $600 an acre for 12 acres. Chairman Mand thought possibly Mr. Klous would agree to a larger sum in order to make a higher profit by being able to sell the three lots in the park area. Mr. Gair explained Mr. Klous is not going to make much profit on this plat due to all the filling and excavating in order to create buildable lots according to FHA standards. They will have to achieve an elevation of 906-911 in order to install the septic systems. Due to the elevation problem, all the houses will be split entries or walkouts. He again stated Mr. Klous was amenable to either the parkland or 10% cash in lieu of parkland as dictated by City ordinance. Steve Nichols thougttthe City would be better off accepting the parkland shown on the overlay since lb'. Klous was not present to offer any more than $7200.00. The parkland is 11.3 acres, or .88 acres short of the required 10%. The Oommission felt the cost of leveling this area would sufficiently make up the deficiency. Bill LeFebvre felt the wooded portion should be saved. Several motionS were composed and the following decided upon: MOTION by Mand, seconded by Nichols, to recommend the City Council accept the parkland shown on the North Birch Creek preliminary overlay presented to the Commission on February 13, 1979, providing, in consideration for the deficiency of .88 acres, the developer agrees, at his own expense, to level and/or excavate the designated parkland, preserving the wooded portion, to a desirable elevation as determined by the City Engineer in order to create a suitable field; further such excavating and/or leveling ,must be inspected by the City Engineer before final approval is made. Any excess fill generated by such leveling shall be used by the developer for whatever purpose he choses. OMotion carried unanimOUSly. Special park/Rec.Oting 0 ;February 13, 1979 - Page #2 uu 1979 GRANT PROGRAM - PARK SITE PLANS ) Chairman Mand stated the Commission should start thinking about park site plans first for ~-- the sewered area since grants are now almost impossible to obtain outside of the Met Council's "urban service ar~ "~aJ!e;yjer commented the site plans should be done prior to applying for any grants. Erl~~b~entioned the possibility of acquiring the two lots with houses at the north end of Crooked Lake. It was felt this would be too expensive at this point in time even if it was 75% funded. The SUbject of a soccer field was then brought up, Chairman Mand advised Lary Carlson is platting the area to the east of Chapman's Add. so possibly the City could ask for a park adjoining the existing park,and place a soccer field there. The City Hall site was another possibility as heavy equipment will soon be arriving for site preparation of the fire deparment/pub1ic works building. Some of the peat already dug out could be spread over the soccer area and seeded this spring. CITY HALL TENNIS COURT LIGHTS - NORTHWOODS TENNIS COURT LIGHTS The entire Commission waded out in the snow to the tennis courts to check on the lights. There seemed to be too much light outside the fence and not enough over the playing surface. Chairman Mand stated he would check with the City Engineer to see if the tennis court lights are adjustable and also discuss the rebidding of the Northwoods tennis court lights. The total cost of the original bid was $30,940.00, or $2440.00 short of what was budgeted. Adding a 10% inflation increase and an alternate consisting of two extra poles with Jights at an approximate cost of $1000.00 to light the proposed skating rink on the east side of the tennis courts would bring the shortage to $3500.00. An extra expense would be the timing system. The secretary was asked to obtain quotes from TKDA and Midwest Planning on park site plans in the sewered area. MOTION by Meyer, seconded by Nichols, to adjourn.
