Parks Dedication - SKB Environmental Metals Recycling Facility and Maintenance Shop EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City Council Regular meeting: February 5, 2019 AGENDA ITEM: Parks Dedication - SKB Environmental Metals Recycling Facility and Maintenance Shop AGENDA SECTION: Consent PREPARED BY: Dan Schultz, Parks and Recreation Director AGENDA NO. 6.e. ATTACHMENTS: Resolution APPROVED BY: LJM RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve a resolution that would allow SKB to pay their parks dedication fees on their Metals Recycling Facility and Maintenance Shop project any time prior to July 1, 2020. BACKGROUND At the August 6, 2018, City Council work session, the Council discussed allowing SKB Environmental an extension for paying their parks dedication fees. SKB Environmental recently came before the City Council to get approval of a 52 acre Planned Unit Development for a Metals Recycling Facility and Maintenance Shop. As part of their development, they subdivided their property. When property is subdivided, staff reviews the plans for parks dedication (cash or land) payment as identified in the City’s Subdivision Ordinance. The SKB property being subdivided was zoned as industrial, thus staff recommended that the parks dedication fees should be collected based on the Subdivision Ordinance and City’s fee policy. The Subdivision Ordinance calls for a collection of 10% of the total area being developed or cash in lieu of the land at a rate of $50,000 per acre as identified in the City’s fee policy. Staff recommended the developer pay a cash in lieu of land dedication in the amount of $260,000 (10% of 52 acres is 5.2 acres multiplied by $50,000 per acre). SKB Environmental submitted a letter requesting to pay their parks dedication fees at a later date or through some sort of payment plan because they were not aware of the fees, thus they had not included the parks dedication fees in their 2018 project budget. Staff from the Parks and Recreation Department supports allowing SKB to pay their parks dedication fees on their Metals Recycling Facility and Maintenance Shop project any time prior to July 1, 2020. RECOMMENDATION Staff is requesting the City Council consider approving a resolution that would allow SKB to pay their parks dedication fees on their Metals Recycling Facility and Maintenance Shop project any time prior to July 1, 2020. 552740v1 BDL RS215-7 1 CITY OF ROSEMOUNT DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION 2019 - A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING DELAYED PAYMENT OF PARK DEDICATION FEE WHEREAS, the City approved that certain plat application made by SKB Environmental (hereinafter, “SKB”) by way of Resolution 2018-48, covering the property described in the attached Exhibit A, which Resolution contained as a condition of approval the payment of a park dedication fee in the amount of $260,000, as set forth therein; and WHEREAS, SKB has requested that it be allowed additional time to pay said park dedication fee for the Metals Recycling Facility and Maintenance Shop project; and WHEREAS, the City has determined that it is reasonable and consistent with the public interest to grant said request; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Rosemount, Minnesota, as follows: (1) The due date for full payment of the park dedication fee set forth in Resolution 2018-48 is hereby extended to July 31, 2020.
