The action to table was made at the request of the applicant, <br /> as there was much discussion regarding the park dedication requirements. It was clear from <br /> the discussion that the Council felt it important to resolve the connection between the two <br /> halves of the land proposed to be dedicated and it was also clear that additional land for <br /> playground equipment was also desired. <br /> The Park and Recreation Commission, at its November 14,2001 meeting, recommended <br /> that park dedication be via land. At that time, 7 acres was requested (the gross area), <br /> however,the City Attorney has indicated that the area of the water cannot be included in the <br /> area calculation (see attached opinion). The gross area of the development parcel is 54.96 <br /> acres (5.5 acres total dedication possible) <br />
