<br />Request for Action <br /> <br /> <br />To Item Number <br />Mayor and City Council 10.1 <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br />Work Session December 3, 2018 Chris Leeseberg, Senior Planner <br />Item Description Reviewed by <br />ERX Motorpark Platting Fees Zack Carlton, Planning Manager <br />Reviewed by <br />Cal Portner, City Administrator <br /> <br />Action Requested <br />Discuss Park Dedication and Surface Water Management Fees with the owners of ERX. <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br />Chris Carlson and Todd Plaisted, owners of ERX, would like to discuss platting fees due with the <br />thth <br />previously approved plats of Aggregate Commercial 4 (2016) and 5(2017). <br /> <br />The city requires Park Dedication and Surface Water Management Fees be paid prior to recording. <br />Recording these two plats was a condition of approval for their 2018 Conditional Use Permit (CU 18-10) <br />for Off-Road Racing, Active Recreation and Physical Endurance, Live Entertainment, Festivals, Research <br />and Development, Conference and Event Center, and Swap Meets. The fees due with the two plats are: <br />Park Dedication $18,323 and Surface Water Management $44,763.82. <br /> <br />Both the preliminary and final plat applications have an informational sheet included showing possible <br />fees associated with platting property. <br /> <br />Park Dedication <br />Park Dedication is a local government requirement imposed on subdivisions mandating the dedication of <br />land for a park and/or the payment of a fee to be used by the governmental entity to acquire land and/or <br />develop park facilities. For commercial properties, this is calculated as 8% of the county-assessed value <br />of the property. <br /> <br />The fee calculation was redesigned in 2016, due in part to questions raised by ERX, and used to be <br />$7,440/acre. The two plats combine for a total of 32.77 acres and would have been required to pay <br />$243,803.08 in Park Dedication fees. <br /> <br />Surface Water Management <br />The Surface Water Management fee was established, by Resolution 94-110, in 1994. For commercial <br />properties, this is calculated at $1,366/acre. The resolution does not differentiate between <br />hardcover/buildings or dirt/natural properties. <br /> <br /> <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity <br /> <br />
