Approve Resolution Setting Fees for Park Dedication in Lieu of Land for Year 2000 Reauest The City Council is asked to review and approve the attached resolution setting fees for park dedication in lieu of land for the year 2000. The Park and Recreation Commission met on November 4, 1999 to review research relating to park dedication fees and recommends to the Council that the residential fees be increased from $1,100 to $1,800 per unit. Note: Staff would like direction from the Council to determine when these fees should be collected during the platting process (preliminary or final) from the developer in the year 2000. The resolution will be changed accordingly. " J November 16,1999 Citv Council Meetiol! The City Council met on November 16, 1999 to consider this request and tabled the item allowing the Park and Recreation Commission to discuss this matter at ajoint meeting with the Council. The latest research has been conducted by Staff. Research Results The results are attached. Residential land sales (Fox Hollow and Sumidge) for raw land in the urban area this year averaged $25,851 per acre. Over the years land values have increased substantially in Andover. Our neighbors, Blaine and Ramsey are currently charging $1,300 and $1,200 per unit respectively for park dedication fees in lieu of land. We are currently developing at approximately 2.1 units per acre. Based on this density and our current market value ofland ($25,851) and using the 10% rule, we should be charging $1,231 per unit.

J (Discuss Grading/Drainagel15525 Yellow Pine Street NW, Continued) money. The City still has escrow money of the Gabriels that has not been released because of this issue. The City Engineering Staff has been late in everything they have done. The Gabriels have tried to work with the City. At this point, to say they have to start over again and especially at the Gabriel's expense is inconceivable. He felt it should be left as is. Ifit does have to be changed, it should be done so at the expense of the City. The Gabriels have paid twice to have this excavated at the direction of the City Engineer. He felt the problem is the lot to the north was approved higher than it should have been. If the Gabriel's lot is lowered I Yz feet, the drainage is all ""Tong. Mr. Erickson stated the contractor filled in behind all three lots. The City told the contractor to remove that material back to the original design for the pond. That would include some area to the north. Staff indicated very clearly that the lots needed to be graded back to the grading plan approved by the City and the Coon Creek Watershed. That is what is required unless the Council decides otherwise. Council discussion was that if this ponding area is filled, it would probably cause changes elsewhere. The overall system could be impacted. It was suggested that in the future plats would be required to stake sensitive drainage areas so residents know about it. , , J Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Ornel, to direct the Gabriels and Staff to put the back yard back to the original plat elevation. DISCUSSION: The representative for Mr. Gabriel asked if they must pay for this a third time. He felt this has to be done a third time because the City was a fault; therefore. the City should pay for it. Councilmember Jacobson stated it should be done right. If the City allows variances for the easements and grading plans, it will set a precedent. This proposal is to protect the rest of the City. All three lots will have to be fixed. Mayor McKelvey felt the developer of the plat should pay for the correction if it was not graded correctly to begin with. The City will not pay for this correction. Mr. Erickson stated the building on the lot to the south is waiting to see what decision the Council will make before completing that construction. He will verify with the Building Official regarding the fill on the lot to the north. He will also check on whether or not the responsibility lies with the original developer. Motion carried unanimously. APPROVE RESOLUTION SETTING FEES FOR PARK DEDICATION FOR CASH IN LIEU OF LAND FOR YEAR 2000 Park and Recreation Commission Chairperson Dave Blackstad stated the intent when the ordinance was amended to a per-lot fee was to review it annually. Land prices are escalating; and it is the position of the Park and Recreation Commission if fees are not increased, they will fall further behind than prior to the change. The increase to $1,800 per unit is based on the current sales in the City. If the Council does not agree with the increase, the Park Board has discussed going back to the 10 percent policy. , I The Council questioned the amount of the increase, thinking average sales were between $20,000 and $30,000 per acre. Based on 2.5 units per acre, the proposal supposes land is selling for around \ '\ '. , Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - November 16, 1999 Page 13 (ResolutionlFeesfor Park Dedicationfor Cash in Lieu ofLand/Year2000, Continued) $45,000 per acre. They generally preferred the per-unit method of determining cash in lieu of land for park dedication but did not agree with the amount being proposed. It was noted that if the City is forced to develop at three units per acre as proposed by the Metropolitan Council, it will increase those revenues considerably. It was suggested the fees be increased based on an inflation factor. Chairperson Blackstad asked that the Park Board be given an opportunity to review the issue again and bring it back. The Council agreed. APPROVE AMENDED SPECIAL USE PERMIT/PORTABLE CLASSROOMS/FAMILY OF CHRIST CHURCH Councilmember Jacobson stated he did not object to the request but felt five years is quite long for temporary storage. He suggested approving the Permit for three years, after which they could come back if needed. , ) A representative of the Church stated they are asking for five years from the original date, which was last year. That would extend the request to four years from this day forward. They are hoping to have a building program in place to alleviate the overcrowding and eliminate the need for the temporary buildings. The buildings are inspected and hooked up to their utilities. Councilmember Ortte! did not have a problem with the temporary buildings since they are inspected. Motion by Knight, Seconded by Orttel, to approve the Item as presented. (Resolution R242-99 approving the request for a total of five years) Motion carried unanimously. AM YORlCOUNCIL INPUT Trail requests - The Council noted two written requests for trails and agreed to forward them to the Park Board. Motion by Ortte!, Seconded by Jacobson, to pass the letters to the Park Board and the Sheriff's Department for the one item on vandalism. Motion carried unanimously. Hunting - Councilmember Jacobson wondered if the no-hunting areas in the City should be reconsidered because of the increased development. Councilmember Orttel suggested the problems and complaints be obtained from the Sheriffs Department. He did not want to COrrect something if there isn't a problem. , ; EDA/Ryan Companies - Mr. Fursman introduced Jim Dickenson, recently hired as the Financial Director, to the Council.
