Otsego — Van Vleet; Preliminary/Final Plat
24 November 2008 ACTION DATE: 15 December 2008
176.02 — 08.16
Walter and Cynthia Van Vleet own a lot and outlot at the southwest corner of Oday
Avenue and 96th Street legally described as Lot 6, Block 2 Hylo Acres and Outlot A Hylo
Acres 3rd Addition respectively. The platted lot is developed with a single family house
and the outlot is undeveloped. The property owners are proposing to combine the two
parcels into a single lot to make the property more usable.
Because the request involves combination of a platted lot and an outlot, it is necessary
to process a preliminary and final plat. Section 21-3-3.A of the Subdivision Ordinance
allows for concurrent processing of preliminary and final plat applications for simple
subdivisions. The property owners are also requesting vacation of existing drainage
and utility easement along the common lot line between the platted lot and outlot. A
public hearing to consider the request is noticed to be held at the Planning Commission
meeting on 1 December 2008 at 7:00 PM.

ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan guides the two lots for low density
residential uses as part of the Long Range Urban Service Area. The combination of the
platted lot and outlot to make a larger residential parcel (developed with the applicant's
existing home) is consistent with the Future Land Use Plan.
Zoning. The two parcels are zoned R-2, Residential Long Range Urban Service
District (Large Lot). The existing single family dwelling is an allowed use within the R-2
District.
Lot Requirements. The table below summarizes the required minimum lot area and lot
width required in the R-2 District. Both of the existing parcels have less than the
required minimum lot area and are non -conforming. The combined lot exceeds the
minimum lot requirements of the R-2 District.
Setbacks. No information was submitted regarding the location of existing structures
on the property. The combination of the two parcels effects the designation of yards on
the subject site. Based on aerial photo information, there appear to be no setback
encroachments as a result of the preliminary/final plat.

Easements. Section 21-7-15 of the Subdivision Ordinance requires a 10 foot easement
at the perimeter of platted lots, which may overlay lot lines when there is an easement
on both sides. The final plat for Hylo Acres does not show a perimeter easement on the
platted lot, whereas there is an easement at the perimeter of Outlot A. The
preliminary/final plat to be submitted to combine the two parcels will need to show a five
foot drainage and utility easement along the south and west lot lines and 10 feet along
the north and east lot lines. As there is an existing drainage and utility easement along
the north line of Outlot A, the property owners have requested vacation. With the
combination of the two parcels and dedication of easements at the perimeter of the lot,
there is no public purpose for maintaining the easement in this location.
Right -of -War The two existing parcels abut Oday Avenue and 96th Street. The
portion of 96t Street abutting the existing platted lot appears to exist by prescriptive
easement versus platted right-of-way. The preliminary/final plat to be submitted to
combine the two existing parcels must provide for 33 feet of right-of-way for 96th Street
consistent with the right-of-way dedicated for the street with Hylo Acres 3rd Addition.
2
Park and Trail Dedication. The proposed preliminary/final plat does not result in
establishment of additional development rights. As such, park and dedication
requirements do not apply to the application.
Preliminary/Final Plat. The applicant must submit a final plat in the form required by
Section 21-6-3 of the Subdivision Ordinance. The final plat is subject to review and
approval by City staff prior to being released for recording.
RECOMMENDATION
The request to combine two parcels into one lot and vacate existing drainage and utility
easement conforms to the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision
Ordinance. Our office recommends approval of the applications as outlined below
subject to any comments from other City staff.
POSSIBLE ACTIONS
Decision 1 — Preliminary/Final Plat
A. Motion to approve a preliminary/final plat combining Lot 6, Block 1 Hylo Acres
and Outlot A Hylo Acres 3`d Addition and vacation of existing drainage and utility
easement subject to the following conditions:
The applicant shall submit a final plat in the form required by Section 21-6-
3 of the Subdivision Ordinance, subject to review and approval of City
staff.
2. The final plat shall provide drainage and utility easements at the perimeter
of the lot as required by Section 21-7-15 of the Subdivision Ordinance.
3. The final plat shall provide 33 feet of right-of-way for 96th Street, subject to
review and approval of the City Engineer.
B. Motion to deny the application based on a finding that the request does not
comply with the Zoning Ordinance and/or Subdivision Ordinance.
C. Motion to table.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Otsego Parks and Recreation Commission
Otsego Planning Commission
FROM: Daniel Licht, AICP
DATE: 28 October 2008
RE: Otsego — Subdivision Ordinance; Park and Trail Dedication
NAC FILE: 176.08-08.
BACKGROUND
The City Council has directed City staff to annually review the park and trail dedication
requirements in Section 21-7-18 of the Subdivision Ordinance, which must be
established by 1 January of each year. The purpose of this review is to ensure and
demonstrate that there is a nexus between the cash fee in lieu of land accepted by the
City for park and trait acquisition and development purposes is representative of the
costs incurred as required by Minnesota Statutes 462.358, Subd. 2c and case law from
Dolan v. Tigard.
The City completed a detailed study in 2003 of park and trail development costs
including land acquisition, land preparation and construction, the relationship between
housing density and park land needs, community facility needs and fees for commercial
and industrial development. Since that initial 2003 study, the City has annually
adjusted the park and trail dedication fee paid in lieu of land dedication to account for
changes in land value or construction costs.
Exhibits:
A. Section 21-7-18
B. Draft ordinance amendment
ANALYSIS
Current Fee. The City's current residential park and trail fee in lieu of land for
residential development was adopted to be effective 1 January 2008. The fee is based
on the following cumulative factors stated on a per residential unit basis:
Land acquisition: $1,600.00
Neighborhood park development: $ 801.00
Community center development: $ 822.00
Future trails construction: $ 57.00
TOTAL $3,280.00
For 2007, park and trail dedication fees in lieu of land for commercial and industrial
subdivisions were established at $7,000.00 and $3,500.00 per gross acre, respectively,
based on 2003 land values.
Land Cost. The land values component of the City's current park and trail fee is based
on an estimated cost of approximately $60,000 per gross acre dating back to 2004.
With the down turn in the residential development market, land values are expected to
have fallen. However, no sales of developable properties guided for residential land
use have been recorded within the sanitary sewer service district. Wells Fargo has
foreclosed upon the developer owned lots and outlots within the Martin Farms
development and is offering the parcel planned for single family lots at $28,300/acre.
The Wright County Assessors office indicates that they're recommended land value for
developable residential property for 2009 will be $32,000/acre. Based on this
information, an adjustment to the land value component of the City's park and trail fee is
required:

Commercial and industrial land values along the TH 101 corridor have increased greatly
based on in place and new residential homes, new development creating accumulative
market attraction and the just completed improvements to TH 101. The current cash
fee in lieu of land for commercial and industrial is reflective of land values equal to
$70,000 an acre for commercial property and $35,000 an acre for industrial property.
Recent commercial land sales and appraisals done as part of the TH 101 and CSAH 42
improvement projects suggests minimum commercial property values of approximately
$350,000 per acre for commercial land and approximately $100,000 per acre for
industrial land. The City could justify an increase in the commercial and industrial cash
fee in lieu of land for park and trail dedication as the current fees are approximately two
percent of the land value of commercial property and four percent of industrial land
values. However, from an ecori.-)mic development standpoint, City staff would
2
recommend that the commercial and industrial cash fees in lieu of land for park and trail
dedication not be changed.
Construction Cost. The City undertook construction of three new neighborhood parks
in 2006 and a conceptual design for a park within Wildflower Meadows based on
facilities and site designs intended to define a typical neighborhood park. The adjusted
average cost for these parks in 2008 was $643,953.00 based on information published
by the Engineering News -Record Construction Cost Index. The change in the
Engineering News -Record Construction Cost Index between the October 2007 and
October 2008 is a 7.2 percent increase in construction costs for a current estimated
development cost of 690,318.00.
Each neighborhood park guided by the Comprehensive Plan is anticipated to serve an
approximate one square mile area. Assuming an average density of 2.5 dwelling units
per acre within residential areas of the City based on existing development and
established development regulations, there are approximately 804 households per
square mile. As such, the cost per dwelling unit for neighborhood park construction
based on the current typical park facility design and construction costs is $859.00.
Community Facilities. Research was also done in the 2003 analysis regarding the
cost for construction of a community center similar to that built by Monticello, Maple
Grove, Becker and Elk River. The assumed cost of a similar facility for Otsego was
$14,800,000 based on that data. Under park and trail dedication requirements, the City
has included that portion of the cost for a community center to be borne by new
residents moving into the community. The 2000 Census identifies Otsego as having
2,062 households. The 2004 Comprehensive Plan projects the City to have a
household count of 21,471 by 2040 based on a growth rate of 400 to 600 new
households per year. The initial community center portion of the park dedication cash
fee in lieu of land was therefore set in 2003 at $690.00 reflecting the anticipated cost of
a community center and 2040 household estimate. The adjusted 2008 fee was set at
$822.00.
It is recommended that this element of the park and trail dedication fee be changed to a
broader community facilities category. Funds collected for community facilities may be
used to develop a future community center building as well as acquire land and develop
the two additional community parks shown on the 2004 Comprehensive Plan Future
Parks and Trails Plan map and/or continue development of remaining facilities shown
on the Prairie Park master plan. The costs for acquisition and development of the future
community facilities are comparable to that of the initial community center estimates.
As such, we recommend that the community facilities portion of the park and trail
dedication fee be adjusted by the ENR Construction Cost Index factor of 7.2 percent to
$880.00
Trails. The 2008 cash fee in lieu of land included a trail construction element to
account for full buildout of the remaining trail system. The City constructed 1,980 feet of
new trail along 75th Street between Ohland Avenue and Odean Avenue in 2008, so the
remaining trails on the 2004 Comprehensive Plan Future Parks and Trails Plan map is
73,990 feet. The 2008 cost estimate for the construction of trails as part of street
projects or stand-alone construction is $17.41 a linear foot. To determine a cost factor
for future trail construction the following equation is used:
72,01 Oft. x $17.41 /ft. / 21,079 households = $59.48 / dwelling unit
RECOMMENDATION
Our office recommends that the park and trail cash fee in lieu of land for residential
subdivisions paid on a per dwelling unit basis as set forth by Section 21-7-18.1 of the
Subdivision Ordinance be established at $3,280.00 for 2008 (rounded to the nearest
$10.00) as shown below. This fee is $200.00 lower than the fee for 2007 based on
lower estimated land values, which offset 7.2 percent inflationary increases in
development costs the City may expect to incur.
Land acquisition: $1,280.00
Neighborhood park development: $ 860.00
Community Facilities: $ 880.00
Future trails construction: $ 60.00
TOTAL $3,080.00
The Parks and Recreation Commission, Planning Commission and City Council may
also consider increases to the commercial and industrial cash fees in lieu of land based
on rising land values. An increase to these fees must also be balanced against the
effect to the City's economic development goals.
POSSIBLE ACTIONS
A. Motion to recommend approval of an ordinance amending the Subdivision
Ordinance establishing park and trail dedication fees for 2009.
B. Motion to recommend denial of the proposed amendment.
C. Motion to table.

21-7-18: PUBLIC SITES AND OPEN SPACES (PARK LAND
DEDICATION):
A. As a prerequisite to final plat approval, and at the sole determination by
the City, applicants and/or developers shall dedicate a reasonable portion
of the buildable land within a proposed subdivision for parks, playgrounds,
public open spaces or trails and/or shall make a cash contribution to the
City's Park and Multi -Purpose Trail Funds roughly related to the
anticipated effect of the plat on the park and trail system. The amounts
listed in this section are the City's best estimate of the dedication or cash
contribution needed to offset the effect on those systems. The
requirement may also be met with a combination of land and cash if
approved by the City Council.
B. The land dedicated for parks and trails shall be in addition to property
dedicated for streets, alleys, easements, or other public ways. Land to be
dedicated shall be reasonably suitable for its intended use as determined
by the City and shall be at a location convenient to the public to be served._
Factors used in evaluating the adequacy of proposed park and recreation
areas shall include size, shape, topography, geology, hydrology, tree
cover, access and location.
C. The applicant shall confer with City Staff and the Parks and Recreation
Committee at the time the preliminary plat is under consideration, to
secure a recommendation as to the location of any property that should be
dedicated to the public, such as parks, playgrounds or other public
property. The preliminary plat shall show the location and dimensions of
all areas to be dedicated in this manner. Such -contribution requirement
recommendation (s) will be sent to the Planning Commission for review
and comment and subsequently to the City Council for their approval.
D. When a proposed park, playground, recreational area, or other public
ground has been indicated in the City's official map or Comprehensive
Plan and is located in whole or in part within a proposed plat, it shall be
dedicated to the appropriate governmental unit. If the applicant elects not
to dedicate an area in excess of the land required hereunder for a
proposed public site that the City feels is in the public interest to acquire,
the City may consider acquiring the excess land through purchase or
condemnation.
E. Land area conveyed or dedicated to the City shall not be used in
calculating density requirements of the City Zoning Ordinance and shall be
in addition to and not in lieu of open space requirements for planned unit
developments.
F. Where private open space for park and recreation purposes is provided in
a proposed subdivision, such areas shall not be used for credit against the
requirement of dedication for park and recreation purposes, unless the
City Council finds it is in the public interest to do so.
G. The City, upon consideration of the particular type of development, may
require that a lesser parcel of land should be dedicated due to particular
features of the development. In such cases, a cash contribution shall be
required above the land dedication to insure that compensation is received
for the full amount of the impact on the City's park and trail system.
H. Land dedication.
In all new residential subdivisions where land dedication is to be
required, ten (10) percent of the buildable area subdivided, plus an
additional percentage of the buildable area subdivided with a
development density less than two and four -tenths (2.40) dwelling units
per acre. For new residential subdivisions with a density or portion
there of equal to or greater than two and four -tenths (2.40) dwelling
units per acre shall be dedicated for public parks, trails, or open space
consistent with the following table:
Density:
Land
Units Per Buildable Acre
DedicationPercentage
0.00 > 2.39 du/acre
10%
2AD > 4.79 du/acre
13%
4.80 > 7.99 du/acre
17%
8.00 du/acre and over
20%
2. In all commercial or industrial subdivisions where land dedication is
required, ten (10) percent of the buildable area of the land being
subdivided shall be dedicated for public parks, trails, or open space.
When a subdivision is proposed, the Developer shall make a dedication of
land for public park use, or the City may require a fee in lieu of such land
dedication as follows, which are the City's best estimate of the effect of the
subdivision on the City's park system:
1. Residential Development
2. Commercial Development
$3,280.00 per dwelling unit.
$7,000.00 per gross acre.
3. Industrial Development: $3,500.00 per gross acre.
J. All land proposed for trail dedication shall be subject to the
recommendations of the Parks and Recreation Commission and the
approval of the City Council. Such lands must also correspond and
conform with the City's Comprehensive Parks and Trails plan.
K. The City may elect at its sole discretion to receive land, a cash fee in lieu
of land, or a combination of cash, land, and development of the land for
park use. The potential cash donation generated by the dedicated land
and/or the value of the development of land shall be calculated. That
amount shall be subtracted from the cash contribution required by the
Subsection I above.
Planned unit developments with mixed land uses shall make cash and/or
land contributions in accordance with this Section based upon the
percentage of land devoted to the various uses.
M. Park cash contributions are to be calculated and established at the time of
final plat approval. The Council may require the payment at the time of
final plat approval or at a later time under terms agreed upon in the
development agreement. Delayed payment may include interest at a rate
set by the City.
N. Cash contributions for parks and trails shall be deposited in either the
City's Park Fund or multi-purpose trail fund and shall only be used for park
acquisition or development, and trail acquisition or development as
determined by the City. Additionally, said funds may be utilized anywhere
within the City park and trail systems.
O. Wetlands, ponding areas, and drainageways accepted by the City may not
be considered in the park land and/or cash contribution to the City.
P. Property being replatted with the same number of lots and same number
of dwelling units shall be exempt from all park land dedication
requirements. If the number of lots or the number of dwelling units is
increased, or if land outside the previously recorded plat is added, then
the park land dedication and/or park cash contributions shall be based on
the additional lots and on the additional land being added to the plat. If
the additional land does not create additional lots, then each one-third
(1/3) acre added shall be considered a new lot for purposes of calculating
the dedication requirements.
Q. When land is dedicated and deeded to the City for park purposes, it shall
be the responsibility of the City to maintain such dedicated property.
R. Land dedication to the City shall be in the form of lots or outlots with
approved lot and block numbers.
S. If the applicant or developer does not believe that the estimates contained
in this section fairly and accurately represent the effect of the subdivision
on the park or trail system of the City, the applicant or developer may
request that the City prepare in depth study of the effect of the subdivision
on the park and trail system and an estimate of that effect in money and/or
land. All costs of such study shall be borne by the developer or applicant.
If the developer or applicant requests the preparation of such a study, the
request must be made at the time the development application is
submitted. No application for development that is submitted shall be
deemed complete until the requested study has been completed and a
determination is made as to the appropriate amount of land or money
necessary to offset the effects of the subdivision.
