Staff will make recommendations for the 2024 fees at the meeting on Monday, November 27, 2023.

PARK DEDICATION FEES A. Park Dedication Fees Park dedication fees are outlined in City Subdivision Ordinance and City Ordinance No. XVII.103 and .107 which state: In all new residential subdivisions, the City shall require that a sufficient portion of such land be set aside and dedicated to the public for parks, playgrounds or other public use exclusive of property dedicated for streets and other public ways. It shall be presumed that a sufficient amount of land has been dedicated for parks and playgrounds for the present and future residents of the subdivision, if the subdivider dedicates at least 1/25 of an acre per dwelling unit that can be constructed in the subdivision. The City upon consideration of the particular type of development proposed in the subdivision may require larger or lesser amounts of land be dedicated if the City determines that the present and future residents of the subdivision would require greater or lesser amounts of land for such purposes. The City shall determine whether cash in lieu of land dedication is more appropriate. The amount of cash dedication shall be determined by multiplying the number of acres otherwise required to be dedicated by the average value of comparable undeveloped land set by resolution by the City Council. In all new commercial and industrial subdivisions, it shall be presumed that a sufficient amount of land has been dedicated to serve the needs of the resident and working population if the sub divider dedicates at least ten percent (10%) of the land in the subdivision for parks, recreation and usable open space. The City upon consideration of the particular type of development proposed in the subdivision may require larger or lesser amounts of land to be dedicated if it determines that the present and future residents of the subdivision would require greater or lesser amounts of land for such purposes. The City shall determine whether cash in lieu of land dedication is appropriate. The amount of cash dedication shall be determined by multiplying the number of acres otherwise required to be dedicated by the average value of comparable undeveloped land set by resolution of the City Council. Land Values for the dedication of land and/or cash contribution: New residential subdivision Low density Residential $85,000 per acre/$3,400 per unit Medium density Residential $95,000 per acre/$2,850 per unit High density Residential $125,000 per acre/$2,500 per unit Commercial subdivision $90,000/acre Industrial subdivision $50,000/acre Business Park development $85,000/acre Page 15 of 17 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Parks & Recreation Commission Regular Meeting: October 23, 2023 AGENDA ITEM: 2024 Capital Improvement Plan AGENDA SECTION: NEW BUSINESS PREPARED BY: Dan Schultz, Parks & Recreation Director AGENDA NO. 7.b.

ATTACHMENTS: APPROVED BY: DLS RECOMMENDED ACTION: None, update only. BACKGROUND Park Improvement Fund Balance as of September 30, 2023: $3,630,209.81 Inflows to the Park Improvement Fund last month were as follows: Dedication fees – $18,382.50 Grants/Other - $0 Interest - $12,632.14 Donations - $4,250.00 Expenditures – $54,524.60 (Flint Hills Park building,Central Park master planning, Bonaire Path trail design, Pickle Ball design and Talamore Park design) StoryWalk is Back - The Robert Trail Library and Rosemount Parks and Recreation are once again teaming up to offer a Storywalk though Central Park during MEA Break. Take a self-guided walk in Central Park Thursday, October 19 - Sunday, October 22 while reading pages from the children's book “We All Play” by Julie Flett. A StoryWalk is an innovative and delightful way for children and adults to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time. Laminated pages from a children's book will be installed along the path around the pond at Central Park. As you stroll down the trail, you're directed to the next page in the story. This StoryWalk is about ¾ of a mile and stroller friendly. r.Cups at Food Truck Fest - Anyone who enjoyed a beer at the Food Truck Fest may remember drinking it in a special cup this year. The City partnered with r.Cup to provide reusable, washable cups for the beer garden and nearly 2,300 were used. Nice work to Violet for spearheading this effort! Parks Encroachments – Staff recently sent several letters to residents living adjacent to a few City Parks to notify some residents that they are in violation of City code for encroaching into the parks with landscaping and personal property. Staff have ordered signs that identify some City code information related to parks that we plan to install in problem areas. RECOMMENDATION None, update only. Page 17 of 17
