MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Steven B. Ach, City Planner,/�/f
DATE: December 18, 1995
SUBJECT: Park Dedication Fees
Issue
Consider Resolution No. 95- , amending the park dedication fees for all
residential and commercial development.
Attachments
• Resolution No. 95-
• Memo to the Park and Recreation Commission dated September 13, 1995
• Minutes from the September 13, 1995 Park and Recreation meeting
• Survey of park dedication fees
Overview
In 1992, the City Council adopted a resolution which adjusted the park
dedication fees on an annual basis by $50.00 for a three-year period. The
last adjustment as set forth in the resolution was made on 1/1/95 which
brought the fee up to $500 per dwelling unit for residential development.
Attached for the Council's review is a survey of other communities' park
dedication fees.
Park and Recreation Commission
The Park and Recreation Commission, at their September 13, 1995 meeting,
discussed an increase in park dedication fees. The Park and Rec Commission
recommended increasing the fee for single family and multi -family
development by $100 per lot annually for the next two years. The
Commission also recommended increasing the commercial park dedication
fee from the current rate of $1,500 per acre to $2,000 per acre in 1996 and
$2,500 per acre in 1997.

Commercial Park Dedication
Currently, the City of Elk River has a rural and urban park dedication fee.
The proposed resolution would eliminate the rural rate and equalize the
commercial dedication. There is not a lot of rural commercial development
and when it does occur, they are held to the same standards as urban
commercial. Therefore, staff believes the rate for urban and rural should be
identical.
Recommendation
The attached resolution establishes a park dedication fee increase as
recommended by the Park and Recreation Commission for residential and
the first year increase for commercial. Staff would like to review the
commercial park dedication rate later this year to determine if an increase to
$2,500 per acre is appropriate or if that fee should actually be higher.
It is recommended the City Council adopt Resolution 95 , amending the
park dedication fees as set forth in the attached resolution.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Park and Recreation Commission
FROM: Steven B. Ach, City Planner
DATE: September 13, 1995
SUBJECT: Park Dedication Fees
Consider Resolution 95-_, amending the park dedication fees which will be
effective 1/1/96 and 1/1/97.
Background
In 1992, the Park and Rec Commission recommended to the City Council a
resolution to adjust the park dedication fees on an annual basis by $50 for a
three-year period. The last adjustment setforth in the resolution was made
on 1/1/95 and therefore, if the Park and Rec Commission would like to see an
increase in the park dedication fees on the first of January, 1996, a new
resolution will need to be forwarded to the City Council.
Analysis
As the Park and Rec Commission is well aware, demands are continually
being placed on the development of the park and recreation system. Park
dedication funds are a primary source for both acquiring land and
purchasing recreational equipment for the parks throughout the community.
As residential development continues throughout the community the
demands for recreational development will continue to increase and the
financing of these improvements is an issue the city will have to continuously
contend with.
In an attempt to keep pace with development and necessary park
improvements, the Park and Rec Commission is asked to consider the
attached resolution which would increase the park dedication fees for single
family and multi -family development by $100 per lot annually, for the next

two years. The commission may also want to consider whether an increase in
the commercial park dedication should be included at this time. To assist the
commission in considering this matter, I have attached a survey of other
communities to give you an idea of the park dedication fees for residential,
commercial and industrial. This survey was conducted in December 1993 so
the information may be out of date.
Recommendation
The Park and Rec Commission is asked to consider the attached resolution as
presented or amended according to the desire of the Park Commission,
whereby this resolution can then be forwarded to the City Council for their
consideration.

negotiation. He stated that a portion of this property will be dedicated for ball fields.
Also, as the land is depleted of sludge, baseball complexes can be created on this
property.
