f Item # 9.C.3. <br /> !lk -�-� <br /> River <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway <br /> Elk River,MN 55330 <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Park and Recreation Commission <br /> FROM: Michele McPherson;Director of Planning <br /> DATE: October 10, 2001 <br /> SUBJECT: Consider 2002 Fees <br /> Request <br /> The Commission is asked to consider the park dedication and shelter reservation fees for <br /> 2002. <br /> • Analysis <br /> Park Dedication <br /> The current park dedication fees are as follows: <br /> $1,470 for residential lots <br /> $2,000 per acre for industrial property <br /> $3,000 per acre for commercial property <br /> In recent years the Commission has recommended to the Council an increase of <br /> approximately 5%on residential park dedication fees only. A 5%increase in park dedication <br /> fees for residential lots would make the 200 amount $1,543.50. For ease of mathematics, <br /> staff would recommend that this amount be rounded down to $1,540.00. <br /> There has been little commercial or industrial development since the Elk River Crossing <br /> project in 1999. Staff recommends maintaining the commercial and industrial park <br /> dedication rates at their current rates and consider increasing them for 2003. <br /> Shelter Reservation Fees <br /> This year was the first year that fees for shelter reservations were implemented. While there <br /> was an occasional complaint from residents, there was no major upheaval regarding <br /> adoption of a reservation fee. Staff is recommending that the fees be maintained at the <br /> current level,but again,recommend to the Council that consideration of a non-resident fee, <br /> especially since there will more than likely be non-resident fees for the various recreation <br /> • programs that the City will be offering beginning January 2002. <br /> Phone:763.441.7420 <br /> Fax:763.441.7425 <br /> S:\PARK&REC\2002 fees.doc <br /> wwwci.elk-river.mn.us <br />
