CREDIT C C IT ON PARK FEES FOR LAND DEDICATED <br /> Issue <br /> Should the land dedicated for this trail system reduce the <br /> amount of park dedication fees paid and if so, by what <br /> amount? Staff recommends the acreage of the land <br /> dedicated for the trail be multiplied by the raw land <br /> value per acre and credited against the total park <br /> dedication fees owed to the City. This assumes the trail <br /> is located within the boundaries of this plat. <br /> D. IMPROVEMENT OF TRAIL <br /> Issue <br /> Should this trail be upgraded now? If this trail is <br /> upgraded now it will lead to private property; currently <br /> there is no area wide park along the Mississippi River. <br /> If it is left unimproved, future homeowners may have the <br /> perception that the trail is infringing on them when it is <br /> constructed. Staff feels the Park and Recreation <br /> Commission should consider having the trail grading <br /> accomplished with the rest of the plat grading, leaving <br /> • the bituminous surface until the park along the <br /> Mississippi is established. <br /> E. TYPE OF TRAIL <br /> This trail is considered a primary loop. <br /> Issue <br /> Should this trail be for pedestrians and bicyclists, how <br /> wide should it be or should there be 2 separate trails? <br /> F. MAINTENANCE <br /> Issue <br /> Should the City maintain this trail? It is conceivable <br /> that an association agreement could be required through <br /> the platting process for the maintenance of this trail. <br /> Staff feels that this is a City wide trail for public use <br /> and that the City should maintain it. The issue of year <br /> round maintenance should also be considered. <br /> G. SUMMARY <br /> 111 Some of the issues raised in this memo go beyond what your <br /> recommendation on the plat should cover, however, they <br /> need to be considered to make sound decisions. There may <br /> also be other issues not mentioned in this memo. <br />
