City of Elk Request for Action River To Item Number Mayor and City Council 9.1 Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by Worksession February 3, 2014 Jeremy Barnhart,Deputy Director, CODD Item Description Reviewed by Plat of Jabez Park Dedication Fees Cal Portner, City Administrator Reviewed by Action Requested Review information and direct amendments as desired. Background/Discussion At the January 21, 2014, meeting, Council questioned the application of park dedication fees for the proposed Aggregate Commercial 2nd Addition. Park dedication fees were applied to the new plat consistent with what was directed by the Council in 2006, for the Plat of Jabez. This memo is intended to provide additional background and clarify the concerns. In 2006, the property owner of the Elk River Ford car dealership proposed a plat combining several unplatted parcels into three lots, a 17.73 acre lot for the car dealership, and two outlots. Payment of park dedication fees for oudots is due when platted as outlots, by definition, are not developable. At that time,the applicant convinced the Council that park dedication fees are due only to the undeveloped portion of the plat, or for the 8.05 acres not part of the already operating Elk River Ford dealership. This was inconsistent with past practice. In Cornerstone's case, 9.68 acres were developed as the Elk River Ford car dealership. ERX operates a recreational vehicle amusement facility on Highway 169, and received an Interim Use Permit in 2009. The parcel on which ERX operates is unplatted and is proposed to be combined with portions of other parcels as part of the Aggregate Commercial 2nd Addition. Staff applied park dedication fees to the portion of the lot 1, block 1 that was added to the ERX site. In the ERX case,this is 12.75 acres of their proposed 26.02 acre lot. It is expected that park dedication fees will be reviewed as part of the Park Master Plan,though this is likely to occur later in the summer. The Council should direct staff to initiate amendments if changes are desired prior to the Park Master Plan review.
