HomeMy WebLinkAbout6.e. Park Dedication Appeal for Carrolton Fifth Addition CITY OF ROSEMOUNT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: May 7, 1996
AGENDA ITEM: Appeal of Park Dedication requirements AGENDA SECTION:
for Carrollton Fifth Addition requested New Business
by Don Carroll
PREPARED BY: Rick Pearson, Assistant Planner AGENDA NO.
ATTACHMENTS: Letter of Appeal, resolution 96-llc APPROVED BY:
approving final plat for Carrollton Fifth
Addition
Mr. Don Carroll is requesting that the Park Dedication requirement for Carrollton Fifth Addition
be waived on the basis that the requirement had been fulfilled with the acquisition of land for
Carroll's Woods Park. Verification of this is very difficult and Mr. Carroll has been unable to
provide any evidence to support the claim. So far, the available data indicates that the park
acquisition was accomplished with a combination of an LCMR grant and park dedication funds.
Staff will continue to research this issue in hopes of reconstructing the events that occurred.
Current practice relative to park dedication is that land is dedicated or cash is paid at the time
of final plat which creates lots for residential use. The Carrollton Fifth Addition was an outlot
for many years, being the location of the Carroll house and farm buildings. Outlots are not
usually included in the computation when future development is anticipated. This is because of
the possibility that assumptions about future development may change with the passing of
time. The eight lots that were platted will amount to $6,080.00 in park dedication fees based
upon the current fee resolution.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to uphold the park dedication requirement for the
Carrollton Fifth Addition as specified by the resolution
approving the final plat.
COUNCIL ACTION:

RE.: Park Dedication fees for Carrollton Fifth Addition
This letter, on behalf of Carrollton Partners LLP is for the purpose of appealing the
standard Park Dedication fee, associated with the Carrollton Addition.
The reason for this appeal is that, Carrollton Partners feels very strongly that this
fee has already been paid. Through an agreement with the City of Rosemount dating back
to 1977, when the original Carrollton Development was plotted and approved, we were
working with a parcel of land that consisted of approximately 80 acres. In working with
city staff at that time, we came to an agreement to develop approx. 40 acres, and keep the
other 40 acres of woods for a city park. The wooded area, now called Carrolls Woods,
was sold to the city at a reduced price, to cover the cost of park dedication fees for the 40
acres of developed land. It was, and still is our understanding that the park dedication fee
has been taken care of through this agreement.
