6. OLD BUSINESS:
a. Prestwick Place 13`''Addition Sidewalk Plan—This item did not go to the Planning
Commission yet because of issues with the plat. It will be going to them on July 26,2016. Staff is
xecommending approval of the plan with the addition of a sidewalk on one side of 1415`Court and
with the continu.ing of the sidewalk along Lots 10 and 11 of Block 3, along one side of 140`� Court.
(Young arrived at 7:04 p.m.) Per Schultz,with these additions, the sidewalk plan is consistent with
the requirements for sidewalks in a development.The Commission asked if the sidewalk could go
on the other side of Ashfoxd Path so kids using the sidewalk would not have to be crossing the
street so many times. There was discussion about the sidewalks in the neighboxhood and the
consensus was that there is a legitimate case foY having the sidewalk on the north side of Ashfoxd
Path for the safety of kids in the neighboxhood. MOTION by Young to ask the developer to
extend the sidewalk on the north side/loop around Ashfield Path in addition to the other changes
in the Recommended Action. SECOND by Farxell. Ayes: 7 Nays: 0 Motion passed. Per
Schultz, this will go to the developex as xecomxnended and Schultz will let the Planning
Commission know for the meeting tomorrow.

Schultz explained that this part of the development includes 169 single family lots on 72.26 acres
located east of the e�sting Greystone Development and south of Bonaixe Path. No public pa,rk is
needed fox this subdivision because they have alteady dedicated land whexe a public park will be
built. Staff is xecommending accepting cash in lieu of land for this part of the development. This
would be 169 units x $3,400 per unit for a total of$574,600 in parks dedication. Per Schultz,no
changes wexe xecommended as fax as the sidewalks and trails in the pla,n. MOTION by Farrell to

Regular Meeting
b. Harmony 7`� and S�'Addition Major Amendment to PUD—7 Single Family Homes and
an 80 Unit Apartment Building—Per Schultz,no action is needed by the Paxks and
Recreation Commission on this item, this is just an update. The developex is now planning to
build seven single family homes on the west side of the development in an area that was
originally to be a storm watex pond. "I'he storm watex pond will be moved acxoss Hwy 3 to the
Dunmoxe Development. 'I'he developer is also proposing an 80 unit apartment building at the
cornex of Bronze Pky. and Brockway Ave. instead of townhomes. Per Schultz, one issue
xegarding the apaxtment complex is access from the complex to Brockway Park. He was
proposing a link from the complex's parking lot to the park,possibly removing a parking stall
on the west side to create this access. Per Schultz,Brockway Park is the correct size for the
number of residents in the area and there is sufficient street parking available,though the
apartment complex may want to post signs in their lot restricting parking. Schultz will report
back to the Commission regarding whexe the developer will put the sidewalk.
c. Parks Dedication Requirements—This month's Executive Summary included the state
statue and subdivision nexus la.nguage with regaxd to collection of paxks dedication,and this
month's packet included a Paxks Dedication Requixements ta.ble for several cities. Schultz
explained that we have used the current parks dedication collection formula for as far back as
he could find in the City's files. He reviewed the table and the different ways each city collects
parks dedication. He noted that the National Park Service has a baseline national standard of
10 acres of parks and open spaces per 1,000 people. Per Schultz, the City's current paxks
dedication collection method is being questioned by a developer who is building a complex of
apartments and believes he is paying too much in paxks dedication fees. Schultz handed out the
City of Rosemount's 2016 Park Dedication Fees ordinance,a Parks Dedication Requirements
Comparison table (with seveYal options fox collecting parks dedication), and a City of Lakeville
2016 park dedication fees collection table. Per Schultz,when the Commission Yeviews parks
dedication fee collection this fall,we may want to consideY having a pex-acre fee fox each
density: low, med and high. In reviewing the "Proposed—Rosemount" option for Low, Med,
and High density collection of paxks dedication fees in the Paxks Dedication Requirements
table, the Commission suggested increasing the Med density on this chart fxom.03 acres per
unit to .035 acres pex unit and the High density fxom .02 acres peY unit to .03 acxes per unit. In
reviewing the Parks Dedication Requixements Comparison table,Young thought we should .
make sure we compare the old method of collection with the new method. In that table, for
example,paYks dedication for 232 units using the curxent method of collection xesulted in
collection of cash in lieu of land for$788,000, and the pxoposed collection method for cash in
lieu of land was $394,400,which is much less than we have been collecting. The Commission
thought we should study the proposed fee collection methods in this table further to make sure
we are collecting sufficient parks dedication, and that we might want to look at txeating multi-
unit buildings separately. Faxrell mentioned that she liked being in line with the National Parks
recommendations for collection. Schultz will bring back moxe information on housing based
on information from the Met Council.
d. Director's Report-The park improvement fund balance as of June 30, 2016 was $328,139.40
Dedication fees of$3,400 wexe xeceived. There wexe no grants or donations. Interest was
$39.75. 'I'here were expenditures of$120,649.38 foY ta,x payments for greenway, Ailesbury Park
impxovements, and the Flint Hills Athletic Complex sign insta,llation.
Summer Programs—All of oux summer pYograms including Kids' Corner,Puppets in the

a skate paxk. Signs have been posted at the skate park,business caxds with information on how
to go on-line and comment on the skate paxk are being handed out,and we'll also be putting a
