MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 21, 2004
TO: Mayor and Council Members
CC: Jamie Verbrugge, City Administrator
FROM: Dan Schultz, Director of Parks and Recreation 19
RE: Park Dedication Fees
The City of Rosemount is allowed to collect Parks Dedication based on State Statute. The
Statute allows the City to collect land for city parks or to collect cash in lieu of that land (see
attached A). The cash amount is to be based on the value of the land. The City's Subdivision
Ordinance guides the City as to how much land should be dedicated as park land when a new
subdivision takes place (see attachment B). If the City collects cash in lieu of land, then our
annually approved Fees and Fee Policy dictates the amount of cash collected per acre. Once
again the fee collected for parks dedication is based on the value of the land.
The survey that was included in the Council packet indicated what percentage of land is
dedicated and what fee is collected on a per unit basis for residential development. For
industrial and commercial developments, it detailed a percentage of land to be dedicated and an
amount per acre. Please note that the collection methods for most communities are different
and this MRPA survey is not a scientific survey, but rather an attempt to compare somewhat
similar fees.
Listed below is an example of our collection method compared to two other metro communities
for commercial dedication:
City Commercial %
Rosemount 10%
Chanhassen 10%
Savage 7%
$ per acre Value Fee per Acre before %
$9,000 $90,000
$7,000 $70,000
$7,000 $100,000
Minnesota Statutes 2001, 462.358
similar utilities and improvements or, in lieu thereof, on the
receipt by the municipality of a cash deposit, certified check,
irrevocable letter of credit, or bond in an amount and with
surety and conditions sufficient to assure the municipality that
the utilities and improvements will be constructed or installed
according to the specifications of the municipality. Sections
471.345 and 574.26 do not apply to improvements made by a
subdivider or a subdivider's contractor.
The regulations may permit the municipality to condition
its approval on compliance with other requirements reasonably
related to the provisions of the regulations and to execute
development contracts embodying the terms and conditions of
approval. The municipality may enforce such agreements and
conditions by appropriate legal and equitable remedies.
Subd. 2b. Dedication. The regulations may require
that a reasonable portion of any proposed subdivision be
dedicated to the public or preserved for public use as streets,
roads, sewers, electric, gas, and water facilities, storm water
drainage and holding areas or ponds and similar utilities and
improvements.
In addition, the regulations may require that a reasonable
portion of any proposed subdivision be dedicated to the public
or preserved for conservation purposes or for public use as
parks, recreational facilities as defined and outlined in
section 471.191 playgrounds, trails, wetlands, or open space;
provided that (a) the municipality may choose to accept an
equivalent amount in cash from the applicant for part or all of
the portion required to be dedicated to such public uses or
purposes based on the fair market value of the land no later
than at the time of final approval, (b) any cash payments
received shall be placed in a special fund by the municipality
used only for the purposes for which the money was obtained, (c)
in establishing the reasonable portion to be dedicated, the
regulations may consider the open space, park, recreational, or
common areas and facilities which the applicant proposes to
reserve for the subdivision, and (d) the municipality reasonably
determines that it will need,to acquire that portion of land for
the purposes stated in this paragraph as a result of approval of
the subdivision.
d. 3. Repealed, 1980 c 566 s 35
Subd. 3a. Platting. The regulations may require that
any subdivision creating parcels, tracts, or lots, shall be
platted. The regulations shall require that all subdivisions
which create five or more lots or parcels which are 2 -1/2 acres
or less in size shall be platted. The regulations shall not
conflict with the provisions of chapter 505 but may address
subjects similar and additional to those in that chapter.
Subd. 3b. Review procedures. The regulations shall
include provisions regarding the content of applications for
proposed subdivisions, the preliminary and final review and
approval or disapproval of applications, and the coordination of
such reviews with affected political subdivisions and state
agencies. Subdivisions including lands abutting upon any
existing or proposed trunk highway, county road or highway, or
county state -aid highway shall also be subject to review. The
regulations may provide for the consolidation of the preliminary
and final review and approval or disapproval of subdivisions.
Preliminary or final approval may be granted or denied for parts

Subd. 5.6 Park Dedication
A. Comprehensive Plans: Where a proposed park, trailway, ponding, or open space
area, shown on the City's Comprehensive Guide Plan, Park Development Guide,
comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan or official map, is located in the whole or in part in
a subdivision, such area or areas shall be shown on the preliminary plat. Such area or
areas shall also be dedicated to the City by the subdivider if the Council requests such
dedication under the provisions of paragraphs below.
B. Dedication: In all subdivisions, the City shall require that a reasonable portion of
such 1 and b e s et aside and d edicated t o t he p ublic f or p arks, p laygrounds o r o ther
public use exclusive of property dedicated for streets and other public ways.
1. In all residential subdivisions it shall be presumed that a reasonable amount of
land has been dedicated for parks and playgrounds if the subdivider dedicates at
least one twenty -fifth (1/25) of an acre for each dwelling unit of the proposed
subdivision (acres to be dedicated = .04 x number of dwelling units). The City
shall determine whether a cash payment in lieu of land dedication is appropriate.
The amount of cash dedication shall be determined by multiplying the number of
dwelling units of the proposed subdivision times the designed f ee per dwelling
which may be set from time to time by resolution of the Council.
2. In all commercial, industrial and other subdivisions, it shall be presumed that a
reasonable amount of land has been dedicated to serve the needs of the resident
and working population for parks and playgrounds if the subdivider dedicates at
least ten percent (10 %) o f the land in the subdivision for parks, r ecreation and
usable open space. The City shall determine whether a cash payment in lieu of
land dedication is appropriate. The amount of the cash dedication shall be
determined by multiplying the number of acres (determined by application of the
formula stated above) times the designated fee per acre which may be set from
time to time by resolution of the Council.
3. The dedication of a portion of land for parks or playgrounds, or the payment of
cash in lieu thereof, provided for the above shall be presumed to be reasonable.
However, upon the request of the applicant, the recommendation of Park and
Recreation Commission, or at the discretion of the Council, the City may either
increase or decrease such dedication or payment upon a determination by the
Council that such dedication or payment is unreasonable or insufficient given the
specific characteristics of the proposed subdivision and its intended use.
4. Ponding areas, needed as a part of the overall City storm drainage plan, shall be
dedicated as land or easement at the option of the City and as accepted by the
City. However, no credit shall be given for park dedication unless said area meets
the criteria for public parks as stated in the City's park dedication resolution and
is approved by the Council. Said dedication of land or easement shall be in a
form approved by the Council.
Subd 5.6 Park Dedicaton 2004
5. In the case of subdivisions of land which have previously been subdivided and for
which land has been dedicated for parks or playgrounds, or cash payments in lieu
of such dedication have been made, the Council shall make reasonable
adjustments to recognize such previous dedication or payment.
C. Timing of Park Dedication: If a new subdivision is designed to be platted into more
than one addition, all park and other public use lands contemplated under this section
in the total subdivision area, shall be dedicated with the final plat of the first phase or
addition of the subdivision unless otherwise approved by the Council.
D. Condition of Land to be Dedicated: Land to be dedicated for public park, trail, or
ponding shall be brought to a suitable condition by the subdivider in accordance with
City policy. All disturbed areas shall have topsoil restored, be regraded with turf
established according to specifications provided by the City.
E. Abstract: Such lands shall be free and clear of all liens and encumbrances including
special assessments as evidenced by any recent abstract or title or registered property
abstract to be submitted at developer's cost to the City for its examination.
F. Dedicated Property: City must have received warranty deed or equivalent for
dedicated park property by the City before final plat is approved.

PUBLIC WORKS
MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
Jamie Verbrugge, City Administrator
FROM: Andrew J. Brotzler, P.E., City Engineer
DATE: . December 21, 2004
RE: Item No. 6.p. — 2005 Fees and Fee Policy
As part of the proposed 2005 Fees and Fee Policy being presented for Council consideration,
Staff would like to provide Council with additional information as follows for the recommended
fee changes:
Section - Public Works and Engineering Fees
1. Assessments
In the past, the City has maintained an annual establishment of assessment rates for various
improvement type projects, most notably, the per unit street assessment rate for
reconstruction projects in single - family residential areas, currently at $2,400 per unit. In
reviewing this assessment rate and comparing with neighboring communities (survey
attached), the recommendation is to increase the rate to $4,000 per unit for 2005. When
considering an assessment rate for street reconstruction projects, the validity of the proposed
assessment rate must be considered. To that extent, the attached letter from Rob Lunz with
Nicollet Partners, a certified property appraiser, provides information about the City's ability
to effectively levy special assessments for street reconstruction projects at a rate of $4,000 per
unit.
An increase in the street assessment rate for reconstruction projects in single - family
residential areas to the recommended rate will more accurately reflect the increase in value to
properties from the improvement project and will help to moderate the general tax levy for
street projects into the future.
For the remaining assessment rates, Staff is recommending that the rates be modified as
shown. In the future as sanitary sewer and water improvement projects are completed,
assessment rates will be established on a project by project basis in accordance with the
associated benefit from the project.
H:\1 22104. ccmemo.2005 fees. doc
6. Water, Sanitary Sewer, Storm Sewer Usage Rates
At the December 13, 2004 Utility Commission Meeting, the commission considered
proposed revisions to the Water, Sanitary Sewer, and Storm Sewer usage rates. Based on this
review, it was recommended by the commission to increase the storm sewer usage rates as
shown. This recommended increase is in accordance with a rate study completed by the
City's financial consultant, Springsted in conjunction with the Comprehensive Stormwater
Management Plan adopted in November 2003.
Staff will be presenting information in the future to the commission regarding usage rates for
sanitary sewer and water.
7. Water, Sanitary Sewer and Storm Water Capital Charges
Staff reviewed with the Utility Commission proposed increases for the City capital charges
associated with development projects. The recommended increases as follows:
• Sanitary Sewer Availability Charge $1,045 per acre (3% increase)
• Water Availability Charge $4,210 per acre (5% increase)
• Water Access Charge Increase of 5%
• Storm Water Charges Increase of 31%
For the sanitary sewer and water charges, the recommended increases are consistent with the
annual increases that have occurred the past 5 years in accordance with a rate study
completed in December 1999. The recommended increases for the storm water charges
reflect an increase in estimated storm trunk system costs, a result of increasing the per acre
land value rate from $30,000 /acre to $60,000 /acre and the pond excavation rate from
$1.00 /cy. to $2.00 /cy. The commission recommended that Council adopt the capital charges
as shown.

Real Estate Advisors
DOUGLAS J. WAGEMAN You have told me that the City of Rosemount is considering an increase in the
MAI flat levy amount for a typical special assessment project in a residential
neighborhood for new streets, gutters, driveway approaches and storm sewers.
1221 ON THE NICOLLET MALL You informed me that this flat levy amount in Rosemount had been $2400 per
SUITE 700 unit (residence) for a number of years, and escalating costs now dictate an
MINNEAPOLIS adjustment to current construction cost levels. It is understood that an increase
MINNESOTA 55403 to ±$4000 ty
er unit will be the new recommendation to the Rosemount Ci
612.340.1236 p `J
facsimile 612.340.1848 Council beginning in 2005. It is also understood that the City would continue to
www.nicolletpartners.com pick up by far the majority of the cost for new infrastructure, and that
homeowners having a special assessment on their property would have up to 10
years to pay it off at a low interest rate.
Real estate transactions typically involve some type of appraisal or valuation of
a property by an independent, professional valuer (appraiser). For single- family
homes the appraisal is usually needed in the process of financing the purchase.
Most mortgage lenders by law cannot make a loan without an independent
valuation of the real estate collateral. Under Federal lending laws, appraisals are
required to meet the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice
( USPSP). A basic premise of all appraisals USPAP is that the valuation process

You have asked me to comment on the market value effects resulting from
municipal special assessment levies for general infrastructure improvements to

neighborhoods on single- family homes, both in general, and also, specifically
for the City of Rosemount. This is always a concern in the process of levying

DOUGLAS J. WAGEMAN You have told me that the City of Rosemount is considering an increase in the
MAI flat levy amount for a typical special assessment project in a residential
neighborhood for new streets, gutters, driveway approaches and storm sewers.
1221 ON THE NICOLLET MALL You informed me that this flat levy amount in Rosemount had been $2400 per
SUITE 700 unit (residence) for a number of years, and escalating costs now dictate an
MINNEAPOLIS adjustment to current construction cost levels. It is understood that an increase

er unit will be the new recommendation to the Rosemount Ci
612.340.1236 p `J
facsimile 612.340.1848 Council beginning in 2005. It is also understood that the City would continue to

homeowners having a special assessment on their property would have up to 10
years to pay it off at a low interest rate.
Real estate transactions typically involve some type of appraisal or valuation of
a property by an independent, professional valuer (appraiser). For single- family
homes the appraisal is usually needed in the process of financing the purchase.
Most mortgage lenders by law cannot make a loan without an independent
valuation of the real estate collateral. Under Federal lending laws, appraisals are
required to meet the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice
( USPSP). A basic premise of all appraisals USPAP is that the valuation process

is not an "exact science ". That having been said, I can tell you that from being in the real estate
appraisal and brokerage business for many years, that whenever two appraisers making
independent valuations of the same property are within ±10 % of one another, it is about as close
as you are going to get it.
In analyzing the proposed unit levy increase relative to single - family homes in Rosemount, I
researched the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors Multiple- Listing Service reports for the
average sale price of a single- family homes, townhouses, and condominiums for District 616 -
Rosemount for the last few years. These reports show the following average sale prices, and I
have then analyzed the historic and proposed special assessment unit levy as a percentage of the
actual average home sale price:
Additionally, the Minneapolis Star /Tribune in today's paper also reports that for 2004, the
median home value for Dakota County was $195,000, making the proposed 2005 unit fee only
2.05% of the average County home price.
Looking at this data from an appraiser's viewpoint, the question then is whether the benefits of
having new streets /gutters, and storm sewers directly follows with a market value appreciation
increment that justifies the levy amount. At the low percentage appreciation levels indicated
here, it would be most difficult for any appraiser to say that having new community public
improvements would not produce such a modest value increase to the average single family
home in Rosemount.
A counter -posed question would be whether having deteriorated streets and other infrastructure
would depreciate the value of a typical single family home by an amount in excess of the unit
levy? My belief is that the downside may be easier to prove than the upside. Appraisers just are
not that refined in their value estimates to be able to estimate value increments or decreases to
these miniscule (1.63% to 2.33 %) levels. Practically, this makes proving that a special
assessment is not justified by a corresponding value increment very difficult, as is the converse
of proving that it does. I would like to believe that appraisers, with all of our training and study
of the marketplace, are capable of such refinements, but the truth of the matter is that we are just
not that good.

This is acknowledged throughout the business world and the courts. For instance, the Minnesota
Tax Courts allows local assessors the latitude of having their market value estimates each year
within 90% of actual reported sale prices as being good enough relative to state reimbursements
to a municipality. Mortgage lenders will also agree at times to loan amounts over the typical
75% of estimated market value level if they feel the appraisal is on the conservative side.
In an unorganized market like that for real estate, the precise value of a property is not known
until a meeting of the minds occurs between buyer and seller. The appraiser usually has a critical
input to that concurrence, but it is often not at the exact price /value agreed to between parties in
a transaction.
My recommendation to the City of Rosemount is that a $4000 per unit special assessment levy
for 2005 would be supportable in the marketplace for by far the majority of most single- family
homes in the City. Unless a particular property is in extreme disrepair, or has some other market
rejection factor affecting it (e.g. environmental pollution), and would therefore be exceptionally
low- priced, the proposed unit levy increase would be justified from a probable market value
appreciation perspective for by far the majority of homes in Rosemount.
If you have questions about the valuation impacts of public infrastructure improvements on
typical single- family home values, please call me.
