Consider Park Dedication - Case No. AS 03-05 Park Planner, Chris Leeseberg reported the subject property is located at the southwest comer of the intersection of 198m Avenue and Ironton Street. Located on the property are a single-family dwelling unit and three detached buildings. The proposal is to split the property into two parcels; Parcel A for the existing house totaling 2.79 acres, and Parcel B totaling 2.50 acres. The subject property is not located within a neighborhood park area, nor is it large enough to justify requesting land dedication. Due to the nature of the parcel, staff recommends cash dedication for one lot for the administrative subdivision request. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER NYSTROM, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER POLSTON-HORK TO ACCEPT THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION OF A CASH DEDICATION FOR ONE LOT FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE SUBDMSION REQUEST. MOTION CARRIED 7-0.
