SUBJECT; Parks Dedication, Cash -Tri -Lieu Fees.
The Planning Department staff has compiled a comparative analysis of cash--in-lieu fees
for selected metropolitan area suburbs with the objective being to compare. Plymouth's
current policy with the selected; communities. and the respective policies. The ten
communities were selected for comparison based upon size, demographic characteristics
and general similarities. Attachment #1 lists the selected communities along with the
year identifying their respective Parks Dedication Ordinances. None of the selected
communities indicated an interest in revising their respective Park Dedication Ordinances:
at this time except Maple Grove which will revise its G-3 density dedication.from 5% to
7x..
I have plugged "constants" into the respective pc".cy formulas: and have arrived at the
dollars generated by the respective policies (Attachment #2). Residential cash -in -lieu
fees ranged from $120 per dwelling unit to $400 per dwell'ing unit ($12,000 to $40,000
per development.Commercial/industrial cash -in -lieu fees ranged from $125 per acre to
1,200 per acre (($1,250 to $12,000 per develrepment). Plymouth's residential fee is $150
per dwelling unit and its commercial/industrial fee is .$500 per acre. The, $150 per
residentaIl dwelling unit is applied equally against single-family residential units as
well as multi -family residential units.
Attachment #3 illustrates correspondence from Mr. Herb Lefler, Sr., City Attorney directed -
to Mr. Chuck: Dillerud indicating his concern that in either levying or increasing cash -
in -lieu fees, a municipality must be able to show cause or need.
From an economic standpoint, one could recommend a residential fee comparable to Blooming-
ton's of $400 per dwelling unit and a commercial/industrial fee comparable to Eden Prairie's
of $1,200 per acre I. recommend that a degree of moderation be exercized in adopting a
cash -in -lieu fee policy and desire to see:
land values tied to percentage. of land value at time of final platting
land dedication for store water drainage purposes not satisfy parks dedication.
requirements
cash -in -lieu fees reviewed and updated on an annual basis
i
Attachment 04 illustrates, the above recommendation in narrative format. The residential
and ccmmercial fees were arrived at by the following process:
1) Residential: Bloomington -Plymouth = difference + Plymouth
X40_ 0 Q = $125 + $150 = $275 per development unit (83% . i nc
2) Commercial/industrial:
Eden Prairi, lyMputh difference + Plymouth
1 ,200 0 = $350 + $500 = $850 per acre (70i inc)
It: is appropriate for the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission to forward a recommendation:
to the City Council supporting nW recommendations on fees, land values,; storm water drainage
and annual review of fees.

Parks Dedication Fund, Cash -in -Lieu Fees
The Planning Department has conducted a study of cash -in -lieu fees collected by
several metropolitan area suburbs. The purpose is to compare Plymouth's fee
policy with the selected communities.in anticipation of revising Plymouth's fee:.
Staff and-",ommission realize that the cash -in -lieu fee needs. to be revised. The
Commission rquested, staff to look into the following proposed changes to the
Parks Dedication Fund, cash -in -lieu fees policy,.
1. Park Dedication based on the percentage of land value at final platting.
2. Separate fee.classifications for single-family, two-family, multiple family
dwelling units as well as commercial/industr, al development.
3. Dedication for storm water drainage purposes shall not suffice. for Parks
Dedication purposes.

Dear Chucks
For some time now the City of Plymouth has been obtaining
land or cash in lieuthereof for park and other purposes
upon the approval of the development of subdivision plats
and PUDs. This practice has become so refined with us that
it has become simply another item in our check list and we
impose. the requirement quite automatically, Aside from
occasional sounds of grumbling from some of the developers
we have really experienced no problem and have incorporated
these requirements in development contracts which the
developers have -readily signed and in consequence have
either received either the land or the cash from them.
Comes now the -first decision of our state Supreme Court
with respect to the statute (Section 462.358, Subdivision 2)
The.case arose in the City of Bloomington and the issue was.
a rather narrow one, to -wit, whether or not on its face the
statutewasconstitutional. The: Court decided that it was
without deciding whether, or not the Bloomington C,Lty Council
had properly applied the statute to the plaintiff's land.
However, in that decision the Court did. enunciate .; standard
which, I am sure,, will be used in,any future challenges
which seek to demonstrate that the statute and ordinances
pursuant thereto have been reasonably applied to particular
developments. The standzrd is that such dedicati-on or the
payment of cash in lieu thereof would be uphe if it cou d
znaz Lne mun c2.paiity wouta oe required to
more open space by reason or the subdivider r

1 he City Council re;agnixes that it is essen ial to the health, safety and
w-plfare of the residents of the City of Plyi-.,.outh that the character and quality
the environmzat %b'e considered to be of major importance in the planning ..
J development M the City. In this: regard the manner in which land is
developed and used is a matte;' of highr priority.- The preservati(.;: of land ,`• " \
for park, playground, pobT c open space and storm Crater holding purposes as
it relates to the, use and development of' land for residential', co, ercial,and
jndustrial purposes is essential to the maintaining of a healthful and desi.r '
able environment for all of" the. citizens of the City. We must not only provide
these•arenities for our citizens today, we. must also be mindful of our Future,
ci't)zeds .
tib, F •: * • ,
It is recognized by the City Council that the demand for park, playground,
public. open space and storm water holding areas within a municipality is
a ~ •: directly related to the density and intensity of development permitted and
allot"ped within any given area. Urban type developments. mean greater numbers
of people and higher der-tands for, public recreational facilities and storm
W. Nater holding areas. To disregard this. principle is to inevitably over-tax,
existing facilities and thus diminish the quality of the environment for all.'.
It is thereforeetetined to be the; public policy of the City of Pl outh
that the following standards and guidelines for the dedication of land for
park, pla,yrourkd, public open space and storm crater holding purposes (or cash
contributions in lieu of such dedt;
catzon) `in the subdividing and developing,
of land within the City shall be;direetly related to the density and, ,
