"y of MEMORANDUM Item TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Mayor and City Council Scott Harlicker, Planning Assistan~/~' October 12, 1998 Request by Irwin and Margaret Olson for Waiver to Fees Request Consider a request by Irwin and Margaret Olson for a waiver to the park and recreation fee and the stormwater management fee. Background On August 17th the Council considered and approved a request by the Olsons for an administrative subdivision. The Olsons owned three lots in Countryside Acres. At the time the Olsons bought the property they were three separate lots. They combined the three lots in order to reduce the amount of taxes paid on the property. The administrative subdivision involved sphtting off one of the three lots to sell as a separate parcel. Two conditions of that approval were the payment of the park and recreation fee and the stormwater management fee for the one new lot. For additional information on the administrative subdivision see the attached staff report. Countryside Acres was approved in 1978. At that time no park and recreation fees or stormwater management fees were paid. The current park and recreation fee is $ 650 per lot and the stormwater management fee would be $61.80 per lot. For a two lot administrative subdivision where one of the lots has an existing house on it, the applicant is responsible for paying the fees for the newly created undeveloped lot. Recommendation Since no park and recreation or stormwater management fees have been paid on the lots involved in this administrative subdivision, it is difficult to justify waiving those fees. It is recommended the Council deny this request to waive 13065 Orono Parkway · P.O. Box 490 · Elk River, MN 55330 · TDD & Phone: (612) 441-7420 · Fax: (612) 441-7425
