RAver <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Item # 9.C.3. <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission <br /> <br />Michele McPherson, Director of Planning <br /> <br />October I 0, 200 I <br /> <br />Consider 2002 Fees <br /> <br />Request <br /> <br />The Commission is asked to consider the park dedication and shelter reservation fees for <br />2002. <br /> <br />Analysis <br />Park Dedication <br />The current park dedication fees are as follows: <br /> <br />$1,470 for residential lots <br />$2,000 per acre for industrial property <br />$3,000 per acre for commercial property <br /> <br />In recent years the Commission has recommended to the Council an increase of <br />approximately 5% on residential park dedication fees only. A 5% increase in park dedication <br />fees for residential lots would make the 200 amount $1,543.50. For ease of mathematics, <br />staff would recommend that this amount be rounded down to $1,540.00. <br /> <br />There has been little commercial or industrial development since the Elk River Crossing <br />project in 1999. Staff recommends maintaining the commercial and industrial park <br />dedication rates at their current rates and consider increasing them for 2003. <br /> <br />Shelter Reservation Fees <br />This year was the first year that fees for shelter reservations were implemented. While there <br />was an occasional complaint from residents, there was no major upheaval regarding <br />adoption of a reservation fee. Staff is recommending that the fees be maintained at the <br />current level, but again, recommend to the Council that consideration of a non-resident fee, <br />especially since there will more than likely be non-resident fees for the various recreation <br />programs that the City will be offering beginning January 2002. <br /> <br />Phone: 763.441.7420 <br />Fax'. 763.441.7425 <br /> S:\PARK&REC\2002 fees.doc <br />www. ci.elk-river, mn.us <br /> <br /> <br />
