Park & Recreation Commission Minutes August 8, 2001 Page 5 . Ms McPherson reiterated the staff recommendation of 2.97 acres and amenities which is worth $453,560.00 with the total cash to the City of Elk River being $302,080.00. There are essentially three options to consider: -Adding back the $75,740.00 to be at 50% of the total park dedication, which would total $377,820.00. -Delete the credit for mailbox structures, shrubs, and flowers, which would total $82,900.00, making the total cash dedication to the City $384,980.00. -Developer's proposal of total land dedication of 8.46 acres and no cash. The general consensus from the Commission is that the parks at Elk River Station are a new concept to Elk River, and the concern is this concept would not benefit the entire community of Elk River, but would rather only benefit the immediate surrounding residents of Elk River Station. Another concern is the acquisition of enough cash dedication which would benefit all parks in the City of Elk River. COMMISSIONER DAVE ANDERSON MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE COUNCIL TO ACCEPT THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO ACCEPT 2.97 ACRES OF LAND WITH NO CREDIT, $384,980.00 CASH DEDICATION AND SHARED MAINTENANCE AS NEGOTIATED BY STAFF AND DEVELOPER. COMMISSIONER DANA ANDERSON SECONDED THE MOTION. COMMISSIONER BRIGGS ABSTAINED. MOTION PASSED 5-0. 9.B.2. Kliever Lake Hills. Case No. P 01-09 . Ms. McPherson presented an overview of Kliever Lake Hills, located ~ mile south of County Road 12 and ~ mile west of Fillmore Street. This property totals 39.58 acres with Kliever's Marsh located in the southwest corner. Kliever's Marsh is a Natural Environment Lake; as such, the developer has separated the lots adjacent to the Marsh from the water in order to reduce the lot area from 40,000 to 20,000 square feet. The proposed plat includes 39 lots and three streets. The developer is proposing to dedicate Outlot B for park dedication. Outlot B that is above water is 3.18 acres, just under the 10% requirement. Commissioner Dana Anderson asked if the number of lots had been changed since the last meeting. Ms. McPherson replied that the number of lots has been significantly reduced from 65 to 39 lots. Commission Dana Anderson also expressed concern that the City may not be getting a dry- land dedication as there was no outline of where the flood plain resides on the map. He also expressed additional concern with run-off from asphalt, shingles, etcetera, within the development. Ms. McPherson explained that there will be run off but the flow will not exceed the rate of what currently exists due to vegetation and the two storm water ponds located at both north corners of the development. She also stated that she would consult with the developers regarding the flood plain level. Commissioner Dana Anderson also asked how the holding ponds work underneath the power line corridor. Ms. McPherson explained that assuming that the developer gets permission from the easement holder, they actually work quite well, and she gave examples of two other areas in the City that are similar. .
