PARS DEDICATION FUND, CASH -IN --LIEU FEES The Planning Department has conducted a study of cash -in --lieu fees collected by several Metropolitan Area suburbs, Tire purpose is to compare Plymouth's fee policy with the selected communities in anticipation of revising Plymouth's fee. Staff and Coirmission realize that the cash -in -lieu fees neod to be revised. The Comrrission I-equestedstaff to book into the following as proposed changes to the Parks Dedication Fund, cash -in -lieu foes policy. 1) Park Dedication based on the percentage of land value at final p`yattitlg. 2) Separate fee classifications for single family, two family, multiple family dwelling units as well as commercial -i ndustrial developments_. 3) Dedication for storm eater drainage purposes shall not suffice for park dedication purposes. Staff will report back to the Coimnission in May with a cash -in -lieu fee recolwilendation to forward to tine City Council. HENNEPIN COUNTY PARK RESERVE DISTRICT -JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT Since November, 1976, the Hennepin County Park Reserve District and the City of Plymouth have discussed implementing a Joint Power Agreemeit between the two agencies to provide for the formal woWlanics of Regional Trail Corridor planning, acquisition, development and maintenance within the City of Plymouth. The Hennepin County Park Reserve District has applied for contingency LAWCON funds. for regional trail acquisition and should the grant proposal be funded, the Hennepin County Park Reserve District will be in. a position to begin acquiring trail corridors in Plymouth. It is necessary for a Joint. Powors Agreement to be Mcutod by troth parties before the Hennepin County Park Reserve District can begin acquisition in Plymouth. 1 6, 1 The Park and Recredtion Advisory Commlission took action forwarding a recomendation to the Planning Collmission approving: the concept of a Joint Polders: Agreement between the Hennepin County Park Reserve District and the City of Plytlyouth as well as tho regional corridor proposed by the Hennepin County Park -Reserve District. The Park and Recreati,,n Advisory= Coimiission requested that. the Planning Commission review the Joint Pouters Agreement and; corridor alignment and forward its recommendation t15 the City Council for action.. Motion was made by Commissioner Brass; aeconded by Commissioner Threinen, Motion carried, NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS CHANGE ORDER Thearchitect lv!ehrtnan, Chapman and: Associates) and the contractot (All Am.nrican Recreation and Sales, Inc.) recommended that selected areas in all neighborhood park. sites under construction be sodded rather than seeded as planned. The request is based on the 'fact that.* sodding along trails to a width of 3611 will help stabilize soil and hater runoff sodding in other areas will enhance access sodding will enable Etat~bier use by the citizens The estimated cost after allowances for seed is 9, 200., Staff agreed with the recom- mendation in concept but could not recommend deficit spending in t1va neighborhood parks mmunt. The Park and Recreation Advisory Commission supported staff's rec llendation not to make expenditures for sod and forwarded this recotrmtendation to the City Council for action. Motion was made by Cotmissionet- Rice, seconded by Commissioner Threinen. Motion carrled.

Jon J. Born, Director of Parks and Recreation 5 SUBJECT 1477-78 Comprehensive Plan Update Parks Component and Parks and Recreation Standards Materials distributed by Bill Pearson, Associate Planner, dated April 5, 1978 reviewed the Comprehensive Plan and the need to update the document and. components thereof. A key component; as the plan impacts upon the Parks and Recreation Department,, is the Parks and Trail System Guide Plan and the associated needs statement and'location and acquisition element. Mr., Pearson alluded to several considerations which we may a"Dress ourselves to in helping to formulate the parks element of the Comprehensive Plan. update. Parks and Recreation Departments usually work, with a range of standards which assist in parks acquisition and development. Presently, the City of Plymouth has only "rule of thumb guidelines with 'no standards formally adopted. In order to develop a range of standards or guidelines, one has to obtain reliable input: as well as population projections fora given period of time.. Bill Pearson and I have developed a set of park acquisition guidelines based on population ranges estimated for Plymouth's growth saturation point, as. Well as regionally and nationally accepted r;rks acquisition and development standards. For planning purposes, we have used the most current and most accurate population projection for Plymouth at its saturation point. The low estimate is 100,000 persons ranging, up to 150,000 persons at the high, estimate. The total urban ark/recreation space range of standards (expressed in acres per 1000opulation) was; developed by combining American Society of Planning Officials ASPO), Urban Land Institute (ULI, and National Recreation and Parks Association NRPA) standards in comparison to regional standards. To be realistic, we believe. one must work with ranges in an attempt to allow for major planning differences over a span of time or due to geographic considerations not known at the present time.. We recommend that the total urban park/recreation space standards range from 6.25 acres per 1000 population to 10,5 acres per 1000 population. Therefore at esti- mated population saturation points, the total urban park/recreation space could indicate a range as follows: t Page 2 Me.M - PRAC Apri 1 28, 1978 acres. 625-1 population (6.25 x 100) 10.50 x 100). 780-1 1050-1575 6.25 x 150 10.50.x 150 From the total. urban park/recreation space standards, a range of standards can be developed for any given type of park site. For instance, we recommend the following range of standards for PlymouWs Park tier classification. Optimum Low Guide Nigh Neighborhood Park 1.5 2.00' 2.5 Community Park 1.75 2.20 2.5 Community Playfield 2.00 2.70 3.5 Other - Open Space Natural/Ornamental 1.00 6.79'8-46 1.50 2.0 10.5 acres per 1000 population Bill Pearson and I, have "proofed" the proposed ranges and `eel comfortable with the calculations and recommend the following - 1. That the consultants' recommendations be supported for adoption, and 2. That a range of standards be adopted identifying a. Total urban park/.recreation space of 6.25 to 10.50 acres per 1000 population, and b. The range of standards for specific park purposes proposed by staff be recommended for adoption for planning purposes. It is appropriate for the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission to take action supporting staff's recommendation and foewarding its recommendation to the: PlanningCommissionforaction..

Pearson, Associate Planner, 1.977-78 PLYMOUTH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE: PARKS COMPONEtTr .AND PARKS AND RECREATION STANDARDS Plymouth has begun work on the first phase of its. Comprehensive Plan update (See Attachment 2) Included in Phase I is the Service or Design Standards component. This component examines relevant per capita or per acre constants that can be used as a IPlanning tool for guiding development in Plymouth. The Service Standards analysis delves into a wide range of services provided by the City, such as the pro- vision of police services:, fire services and the need for park land and recreation facilities. The City has contracted with Bartm-Aschman Associates, Inc.: to research and aeveiop this Service Standards component and Barton-Aschman is currently in the process of finalizing its findings and recommendations for this component. Attached is Barton- Aschman's preliminary draft of its Technical Memorandum on Park and Recreation Stand- ards. Few changes are anticipated in Barton-Aschman's final Park and, Recreation Standards technical memorandum. This preliminary memorandum is being sent to you for your infomation and review prior to the Parks and Recreation. Advisory Commission's May meeting, at which thi's concept of Park and Recreation Standards will be discussed with you: by the Parks and Recreation Director. This concept of Park. and Recreation Standards raises a number of considerations which must be given. serious thought. For example, what range of Park Standards will dive. Plymouth thL flexibility it needs to respond to the park needs of both developed and undeveloped neighborhoods 'in the City? The 1977-75 Comprehensive Plan Update involves work on eleven specific components and is divided into four, identifiable phases. Included in Phase XII is the Parks Component See Attachment 1), The Parks System Plan consists of two elements, the, first element of which Darton-- Aschman Associates, Inc. will begin work on this summer. This first element of the Parks System Plan focuses on a Needs Statement, which will identify the park system needs of Plymouth. This will be a quantitative and geographic memorandum examining existing parks, proposed parks, and the need for additional park acreage. Basically, it will determine how much additional acreage is needed and in what general areas it is needed. The first element, of the Pari: Systems Phan, then, becomes the baso of information for the more specific second element. page 2 The second element, or the Location and Acquisition Element, focuses on the actual m selection of park sites and the selection of alternative sites. The objective of this task is to assist the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission in identifyingthemostappropriateparksites;, given the needs of each individual walking 'neighbor- hood, driving neighborhoods, and the community as a whole, and the characteristics of the sites. Funding for the Comprehens€ve Plan Update: and the Parks Component will be allocated from Plynwuth"s Community Development Revenge Sharing monies. ATTACHMENTS.- 1. TTACHMENTS: 1.

MINNESOTA 55341 TELEPHONE (612) 559,2500 DATE October 11, 1977 R -11R G (i TO: Planning Commission FROM: Charles. E. Uillerud, Planning Director SUBJECT 1977-78 PLYMOUTH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Plymouth is about to embark on a rather complex series of comprehensive planning activities, The need for and the purpose of these activities were first discussed early in 1976 during consideration of Year II CORS Grant allocations and again late in 1973 during the review of the several consultant firms vying to assist us in our endeavors: From those 1976 discussions, you may recall. that the existing situations and external' events that result in the need for this comprehensive plan work are as follaws: 1 The enactment of the Metropolitan Land. Use Planning legislation has resulted u in quite specific legal mandates as to local comprehensive plan, format and content,. Our set of local pians is inconsistent with this mandate --some more; than others.. We have at: least a couple of years to get things straightened out, but we should start as early as ,we can. 2. Quite aside from legislative mandate, we do have internal.problems with our current plans. In some cases, system plans (notably seater, water and thorough- fares) actually predate our Land Use Guide Plan. In other cases, true system plans either do not exist or exist only as a single map with no quantitative supporting information (notably parks, thoroughfares: and housing). Bone of system plans (nor our Land Use Guide Plan for that matter), address develop- ment time sequencing even though Plymouth has an excellent reputation at the practicing of sequencing. 3. BY way of the Land Use Planning laa:, the. Environmental Quality Council, the Department of Natural, Resources, the various watershed agencies and the enhanced. awareness/concern of our citizens, issues of the natural environment occupy an ever increasing profile in municipal comprehensive planning. Our Goals, Objectives and Criteria reference environmental concerns, out our land. Use Guide Plan and systeri plans fail to reflect specific knowledge of environmental realities or strategies. Following several months of Staff work involving various metro, state and federal, agencies, consultants and numerous work program drafts, are have arrived at a t•,ork progrni:r proposal w1flch we hereby recoir nre•:nd to the Planning Con;mission and City Cowicil. 6 i-.1.4,tM .• a • . .,.». ,..,..a».r-.. :.: +,n al ra .. y,R ., ..•, .4.. a+r :. . y ..s.T. - ..a ... October 11, 1E7 Page 2 The program.i.nvolves work on 11 specific components and is divided into four identi- fi'able phases. Components of work proposed, with a brief description of the work to be accomplished, are as follows PHASE; 1; A. Design Standards The consultant will prepare a.technical memorandum reviewing the: range of quantitative standards in use, recommended or observed for the various. municipal system plans. Essentially, this viork will bring us to a logical decision of what per capita or per acre constants we mill use in system planning. We will have a clear idea of the logic and basis for these. constants that are so critical to the resulting plans, but so often the exclusive province of the professional planner and, therefore, never addressed by Planning Commissions and City Councils. B. Physical Constraints The consultant till inventory in substantial detail the several physical factors most often recognized as presenting environmental or physical conflicts with land development. These physical factors are becoming the basis for ever increasing mandated development regulation and, therefore, the extent and location within the community will have an increasing impact on land use planning --and, as a result,, municipal system planning. The consultant, by technical memorandum, will identify these constraints in. Plymouth., geographically and quantitatively,, provide an analysis of the probable impact to land use planning presented by the constraints and suggest alternative. strategies for addressing these constraints. C. Quantitative Conrmunity Analysis A critical component to land use and systems planning is the agility to measure the impact of the plans prepared, as well -as the extent of development at any point in time. For example, both the location and design of a thoroughfare is dependent on present and future use require- ments which relate to existing, plus projected numbers of persons residing or employed within the. "service area" of the thoroughfare. This task involves City Staff, use of the parcel data available from the records of the City Assessor and the services of a computer serv,4ce bureau to create a statistical "model" of Plymouth, 1477. To currently available Assessor's date on each parcel of land will be added projected use data (from our current Land Use Guide Flan). tde will have the capal-ility to "call out" data from this model computer file either topic; speci is (like how many single family units do we have at a given point in time) or broken into data by geographical area. 37 October 11, ;977 Page 3 PHASE II A. Goals, Objectives and Criteria Review The Staff will review the Goals., Objactives and Criteria statement of the Plymouth Planning and Development Strategy document with the data and findings from Phase I in mind. Possible additions to and/or revisions of the existing Goals, Objectives and Criteria statement will be noted for the consideration; of the Planning Commission and. City Council. B. Adjust and quantify Land.Use Guide Plan The Staff will review the Land Use Guide Plan and note areas: where adjust- ments or additions may be necessary according to the data and findings that come out of the Design Standards and Qua.ntit tive Community Analysis compo- nents. The Design Standards component should, for example, provide us the necessary information.to make the most logical determination possible of what per acre or per capita constants we will use in our system planning.. The Quantitative Community Analysis will give us the opportunity to quantify elements of the Land Use Guide Plan, For example, wea;ill have the capacty to "retrieve" data from this model computer file, such as how many single family or duplex housing units we have at a given point in; time, This information may then necessitate adjustments in. the Land, Use, Guide Plan. The consultant will be responsible for reconnianding changes in the Land Use Guide Plan that will enable it to conform to Plymouth's environmental resource inventory. PHASE III; A. Thoroughfare Guide Plan Update, The Thoroughfare Plan develop6d in 1972 will be analyzed by the consultant, with their analysis to be based on the Land Use Guide flan. This tas} will also determine what changes or additions may ,be needed assuming the, Land Use Guide Plan is modified due to the Physical Constraints Analysis.. This task has been developed in response to the fact that the original Thoroughfare Plan actually predates the Land Use Guide Plan and in order to meet the requirements of the Metropolitan Land Planning Act, B. Housing Element The consultant and City Staff will coordinate their .. f`for-ts on the Housing Element in order to develop quantitative housing information, This will ict as a ::more specific development, guide and serve to strengthen the goals and objectives of the: Comprehensive Plan. The Consultant will prepare a memorandum that will involve collecting, an7lyzing and recording the follow- 04tober 11 1977 Page 4 i'ng housing data. This will include data on employees roving in the City relating to housing needs, a market a.,alysis for housing in Plymouth, identi. fication of areas which may require rehabilitation during the next five years and will also involve the development of alternative strategies to encourage the construction of units which meet the needs as determined by the market analysis: and the rehabilitation study. ne Housing Element will also necessitate the City Staff assembling data on; the existing supply of housing, on the .social characteristics of the City residents and on household size and other local population pro- jections through the computerized land use inventory. C. Park and Trail System Guide Plan The Trail System component of this element was completed this past year, so the remaining component that is needed to adhere- to goals and objectives of the Plymouth Land Use Guice Plan is a Park 'Systems Plan. To meet this need., the consultant will prepare a two -phased Park Sisters Plan. The first phase will be a quantitative and geographic memorandum examining existing parks, proposed parks and: the need for additional park acreage. This first phase will determine how much additional acreage is needed and in what general areas it is needed. The first phase, then, becomes the base of information for the more specifi second phase, which is the actual selection of park sites and selection of alternative sites. The consultant will also coordinate the Park Systems component with the Trail System component and will meet the requirements of the Metropolitan Land Planning Act, and other related Metropolitan Council guidelines. D. Comprehensive Utility Plan The consultant will prepare a Comprehensive Utility Pian that will cover the t1wee components of Water Supply and Distribution, Sanitary Sewer and Storm Drainage. 1. Comprehensive Sewer Plan In. order to update the City of Plymouth's Comprehensive Sewer Plan and meet the requirements of the Mandatory Land Planning Act, the consultant will prepare a technical memorandum incorporating all previously developed sewer system data, all int:'rim revisions and the latest information available from the City's Comprehensive Plan. This task grill involve three phases --an investigation phase, a plan development phase and finally, publication. The investigation phase will focus on an examination of topography and -oils, land usage and population projections and design criteria, The plan development, phase: will focus on sewer system design and cost determinations .for the Capital Improvement Program. October 11, 1977 Page 5 2. Water Supply and Distribution The consultant still update the 1971 Mater Supply and Distribution Plan and the 1972 Supplement to it and coordinate it with our Land Use Guide Plan. This update will also be geared to meet the require- ments of the Mandatory Land: Planning Act. This. task w li also involve three phases --an investigatio« phase, a plan development phase and , publication of their findings. The investigation phase. will examine the existing system, land use and population projection and design criteria. The plan development phase will focus: on system design and. the impact on the Capital Improvement Program. 3. Storm Drainage Plan Due to the extreanely raped growth in both population and conxnercial/ industrial activity in Plymouth since the 1973 Storm Drainage Plan, it. is; important that the City of Plymouth,`s Comprehensive Utility Plans be based on the, latest available information. In addition, this revised Storm Drainage Plan will ; meet the requirements of the Mandatory Land 'Planning Act. The consultant will prepare and publish an updated Storm Drainage Plan based on their investigation of topography and soils, land usage; and population projections, and design criteria. The plan development phase will focus on the design of the Storin Drainage System and cast detei)mination for the Capital Improvement Program. PHASE IV A. Review and Adjustment of the Land Use Guide Plan The City Staff will review the Land Use Guide Plan and make °ecommendations to the. Planning Commission and City Council concerning adjustments that are needed in the Plan. These reconm. endations will, be based on the data, analysis and findings generated from the elements of Phase III. The analysis and recommendations that flog out of the Thoroughfare, Housing, Park. and Trail and, Compreliens ive Utility Plan Update components will lively requite some adjustments in the Land Use Guide Plan. This final plan review and adjustwent of the Land Use Guide Plan •rill setthe stage for the last crucial component --the Timing and Implementation component,. Q.. Timing and Implementation The City Staff will make recomiiendations to the Plan..in.g Commission and City Council that focus on the timing of dev-elopment. This concept of developmenit timing relates to the. need to prioritize and to set the sequence of future development. These recom.ii,endations %-till be based on the data, findings and adjustments that evolve out of Phases I, 11 and 1I1. For example, the Staff will make recu.iimendations that +:ill attempt to determine October 11, 1977 Page 6 i the best sequence of development For future sanitary sewer trunk lines, for the development of future tinter mM ns,, for future storm sewers and for the timing of major and local thoroughfares. This will also involve coordi- nating and timing of all Land Use components with each other, as much as is possible, The Updated: Land Use Guide Plan will then ;b _implemented by Staff basing their development recoRmendations on the Land Use Guide Plan's coordinated sequence: of development. The Planning Commission and the City Council will then use the Updated Land Use Guide Plan in making their develop.nent deci- sions. By completing and then implementing the Updated Land Use Guide Plan, the City of Plymouth will be better able to guide its own. develop Ment, to insure the quality living environment it desires y Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a, regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Flysnouth, I llnnesot t was eld - an the Ird. day of ._Qtctahar , 19 77 The following members viere present: Mayor 1#i l de, Counci , .men Hun tdei l s , Sei bold and Spaeth , Tho: following members were a sent: lone Councilman Seibold. r troducc 3 t3ae following rMsolution and jrnved, its adoption: RESOLUTIO`1 X77 568 APPROVING WORK.

These needs will be defined for walking neighborhoods,. driving neighborhoods and the city as a whole. The needs will be a function of existing and planned parks and present and future population. The Mandatory Planning Act addresses the need of a recreation element in a community's comprehensive plan. It will be one objective of this task to analyze the requirements of that legislation. to insure that Plymouth's comprehensive plan meets these guidelines. This will be done in light orcounty, regional and state recreation plans.. Recreation is a major element in our everyday lives. The desire to have the corrinunity provide facilities so that these activities. can be enjoyed is the norm in our society. The park system provides recreational opportunities that cannot be typically provided by the individual family, due to the cost and land required, The park system within a com.runityisonefacetthataddstothequalityoflifeofitsresidents. Both public and, private recreation areas can serve the community. A private; golf course serves its members as a recreational asset while helping to reduce the demand on private facilites. In addition, a private golf course can provide the green space that is desirable to punctuate continuous urban development. While the limitations on use of private recreation space must be understood,. such space should not be ignored in planning for the neei. of residents. Tasks A. Review existing community goals and objectives relating to parks, and recreation. I. Collect: existing goals and objectives which relate to recreational facilities and programs. 2. Review the goals and objectives with City Staff and Park and Recreation Advisory Corra ission to determine if they reflect the current desires of the city. i Be Review planning requirements ard guidelines established by the Mandatory Planning Act and the: Metropolitan Council Park: and Open Space Development Guide Chapter. 1.

Costs 5,985 z , PARI: SYSTEM GUIDE `PLAN - LOCATION AID ACQUISITION - Intent, and P4rpose The park needs of Plymouth will be determined in the task entitled "Park System Guide. Plan deeds Statement." It will be the objective of this task to identi y potential sites for the needed. parks, and to assist the Park and Recreation Advisory Corrmi ssi on in selecting the roost appropriate sites, given the needs of the individual walking neighborhoods, driving neighborhoods and the comrn n ty as a whole, and the characteristics of the sites, Tasks A. Review acquisitions or modifications to the: park systei-a which have taken place since the Park System Needs, Statement was developed. B. Revise tate needs statem nt based on changes in status of park and recreation facilitiesa C. Rased on the definitions of "typical' walking neighborhood, driving neighborhood; and city-wide parks, develop three lists of screening criteria that can be. used to identify potential park sites. 1. Review the data analyzed in the physical constraints task. Z. Rased on the available information, develop a list of criteria which can be used to screen areas in the city for potentialpark sites. Such criteria may include: present use location in relationship to centroid of service area size unique vegetation or wildlife 3. kcviev site selection screening criteria. with City Staff and Commission. Revise as needed.. ` D. Review the physical constraints analysis data, given the above screening criteria, to identify candidate park sites for walki1lg, driving and corrtl'uni ty-wide parks. I 1. Given the above developed criteria, select one or more sites in each vialking neighborhood and driving neighborhood. Specific sites that will meet city-wide needs will be identified'. 2. Map each potential site. < E. Develop a detai4cu ,ist ofpark site comparison criteria for walking neighborhoods, driving neighborhoods and coa.munity-wide parks.. 1, The consultant will develop z list of criteria which can be used to compare candidate park sites. Potential criteria may include, unique natural features topography soils conditions/estimate bearing capacity presence of surface water ground water level natural vegetation distance from center, of service area (walking or driving neigh- borhood, city) site size ownership existing improvements/structures estima%e of value accessibility to trail system accessibility to local street system accessibility to collector streets accessibility from schools or other recreational facilities planned use surrounding development surrounding zoning potential of development in the near future potential contribution of site, given development plans 2. This list of ci-i teria will be reviewed with appropriate City Ste Fr and the Park and Recreation Advisory,Conmission to determine the 10 (this could vary) most important criteria to be used to compare park sites. The criteria may be varied for walking and driving neighborhood parks and for ity-wide parks.. F. The Park. and Recreation Advisory Commission will be asked to assign weights to each of the criteria. In order, to compare and select a preferred site, the criteria will have to be weighted in accordance with their importance. Barton--Aschman has used a decision-making aid process in'the past for site selection proces,.es. The steps discussed below describe this process. 1. A budget of points wi 1 be ,,ven to each Comiiiission member (or other city official) that will be involved in th i site selection process. A typical budget for 10 criteria may be 500 points. Z. Commission members assign their points to the various criteria, based. on their judgments as to the importance of each criterion. The more important the criterion, the more points that trill be allocated, until all 500 points are assigned. This allocation is done individually. 3 A discussion may take place at this point on why the Cotrmissioners assigned points in. the way they did. 4. A second opportunity is giver, Mu allow the: Comatission rs to reassign their points. assuming the di' cussion has raised issues they did not initially consider. 5. A compositee weight is developed for each criterion. H. Develop a performance score. for each site, given the: 1.0 criteria, 1. Rased on the 10 criteria, data will be collected for each site. 2 Each site will be reveiwed, given the material collected, and a performance score will be developed. For example, if site size is a criterion and the ",typical" walking, park definition states; that a 7 -acre site is desirable, those sites with 7 or more acres will perform best, while those sites with less than 7 acres will perform in a poorer fashion. A peri ormance. score will- be calculated, given this data. A 7 -acre site would receive a score of 1 (the highest score); a 3.5 -acre site would receive a. score of 0.5, or, one-half the best score, assuming a direst relationship were applied. 1, Calculate the weighted :core or .rating for each site, given the criteria weighting and the performance of each sita in nie: ting the criteria. 1. The criteria ti<<eighting points would be applied to each site, given their performances. In the above example of sitQ size; those sites of 7 or more acres would receive the maxi=-' number of points assigned to the criteria -- let us say 50 p',Ants. The si to of 3.5 acres performs only hal f as wel l , and . tl d recei ve only 25 points. The. scores for each candidate site in each walking ne'°hborhood would be calculated and compared (ip` more than one sitewas available)... The site with the highest scare would be 10ntif ,,id as the preferred site. A similar procedure would be used' for driving neighbortiood park sites and city --wide, patk sites., 3. Map and describe the preferred pari: sites. M., Based on development trends and needs, the consultant will recommend an acquisition and development program for the parks. 1. Review the needs statement to determine ajh,ich neighborhoods are most dificic-nt in park space.. 2. Review the potential of preferred sites being developed for another use in the near future:. 3. Review potential funding sources and city funds available fo; acquisition and development on a yearly basis.. Review alternative wthods of acquisition, such as dedication. 4. Develop an acquisition and development program based on this data for parks and recreationareas. End Products memorandum will be prepared which records the data collected and analyzed the methodology utilized, the location and description of th- e preferred > park sites, and the recommended acquisition and development program.

Park Standards Among Selected Communities Table 6 summarizes Metropolitan Council recreational facilities standards, and the standards used in three metropolitan area communities; Bloomington, Burnsville and Edina. Burnsville and Edina both base their total number of acres for recreation purposes on a standard of 10 percent of their total community, beingusedforrecreation. Bloomington, on the other hand, uses a, standard of 35 acres of recreational space per thousand residents, which includes land that would not be provided by the City itself. Bloomington has set standards for a series of park types including tot lots, neighborhood parks, community parks, playfields, and large urban parks. These are the: most specific of the three community standards.. The. most common park type among the three metropolitan communities appears tobetheneighborhood: park, which serves one neighborhood or an area of Approximately a square mile. The amount of land set aside for a neighborhood; park varies from 5 to 20 acres. Bloomington and Burnsville have specific recreational facility standards for community parks. Community park facilities serve several neighborhoods. The number of acres considered necessary for this type of facilityisfrom20to50teres. in Bloomington and 20 to 30 acres in Durnsville. Bloomington also has standards for plgfield facilities which mould provide active recrCatzonalspaceforseveralnchborhoodsandtheywouldbefrom20to50acresinsize. Each community provides some special ..creation fiIcilities such as ice arenas, pools, etc. .Bloomington is the only community that has adopted standards for trail. facilities. Trends Aff:acting Park and Recreation Services Recent years have seen a flood of participants to recreatiollal activities that were previously unknown or participated in by very few people. The surge of interest in activities such as bicycling, cross country sl: in&tennis, and jogging has created aninstantdemandforrecreationaltrailfacilities, Sports such as soccer, previously oflittleinteresttoAmericans, have suddenly become. very popular, Other recreational activities, resulting from teeiinological developments, have created different recreational demands and problems. Skate boarding, snowmobiling, andofftheroadvehicleoperationfallinthiscategory. All of these new recreational activity interests are likely to create shortages of soma recreational fa6li.ties andexcessesinothers. Many of these activities are a result of factors such as increased health consciousness and greeter leisure; time. Whether these conditions will prevail over an extended period of time is difficult to project. It they do, more park land perpersonwillberequired.

M. S number of women participating in organized athletics and otAher forms of active. recreation is increasincr. If this, trend continues, it result in dramatic increases in the demand for recreational facilities. Increased awavenecs of ecological considerations and. problems has created greater interest in preserving natural areas, for preservation reasons as well as for nature studies. The basic shifts in the age mix of the community population will, have major effects: on the types of recreational activities the community desires to participate in and, therefore, on the. types of facilities required. Each age group has a set of special recreational desires. As the population becomes older, greater demand for lifetime sports activities such as jogging, tennis, hiking, swimming, and passive recreational activities will occur, while activities, aimed at younger n c groups, such as little league baseball, and other organized sports, and play=ground equipment will become less important in the community='s recreational system. More trail acreage and more generous standards for tennis courts may be needed. Recommendations and Conclusions 1 The general standards for total recreational acreage, and the basic park categories suggested bye the Metropolitan Council and generally substantiated by the. Urban, Land. Institute, ASPO, and National An stration standard: appear to be appropriate guidClines for Plymouth, r 2. The specific recreational facility standards listed on Table 5 are suggested as appropriate guidelines for, Plymouth. 3. In supplication of the above: standards, Plymouth. should strive for flexibility in, order to respond to changing community needs. Emphasis should be placed on multi-purpose facilities. 4. Plymouth's recreational facility development activities should emphasize acquisition and preservation of park land in the undeveloped areas. Develop_ went of land should occur as activity demand and urbanization warrants. 5. Recreational land purchases should be partially guided, by the physical constraints analysis presently being carried out. 6. Emphasis should be placed on recreational facilities for lifetime recreational activities.

Born, Director of Parks and Recreation SUBJECT: Parks Dedication, Cash -In -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 comparisan based upon size, demographic characteristics and general similarities. Attachment #1 lists the selected communities along with the year identifying their respective Parks Dedication Ordinances. Hone of the selected communities indicated an interest in revising their respective Park Dedication OnJinances at this time except Maple Grove which will, revise its 0-3 density dedication from 5% to 7%. 7 have plugged "constants" into the respective policy fori„ulas 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 $400 per dwelling unit ($.12,000 to $40,000 per development. Commercial/industrial cash -in -lieu fees ranged from $12.5 per acre to 1,,2.00 per acre (($1,250 to $12,000 per development. Plymouth.'s residential fee is. $1.50 per dwelling unit and its commercialjindustrial fee is $500 per acre. The $150 per res identail 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 Lied to percentage of land value at time of final platting land dedication for storm water drainage purposes not satisfy parrs dedication requirements cash -in -lieu fees reviewed and updated on an annual basis. Attachment #4 illustrates the above recommendation in narrative format. The residential and commercial fees were arrived at by the following process 1.) Residential: Bloomington -Plymouthon_Plymouth = difference + Plymouth 400 - $150 = $125 + $150 $275 per development unit (83%_ inc) 2 2) Commercial/Industrial: Eden Prairie -Plymouth difference + Plymouth 2 51,200 - L500 $350 + $500 = $850 per acre (700 inc) 2 It is appropriate for the, Park and Recreation Advisory Commission to forward a. recommendation to the City Council supporting my recomnendations on fees, land values, storm water drainage and annual review of fees. 4aQda - J o0ftrn Director of Parks and Recreation.

This practice has become so refined with us that it has become Simply another, item, in our check list and we: impose,thexrequirement quite automatically. Aside from occasional sounds of grumbling from some or the developers we have really experienced no problem and have incorporatedw ' these requirements in development contracts which the ` 4 developers have readily signed and in consequence have either received either the land or the -cash from them. i °, -' - `''`.
