of land. All property subdivisions resulting in the addition of buildable lots are subject to dedication requirements. The obligation can be fulfilled in the following ways: 1) Physical land dedication
2) Payment of cash in lieu of land
3) A combination of land dedication and cash. 4) Private open space and facilities for public use. Subdivision Ordinance

1) Physical land dedication 2) Payment of cash in lieu of land
3) A combination of land dedication and cash.
4) Private open space and facilities for public use.
Option - Physical Land Dedication Physical land dedication would be required as follows:
Property Size 10.38 Number of Residential Units 32
Residential Density 3.08 units\acre
Required Park Dedication 1.14 acres = 11% of the gross area
1) All or part of the land has been previously designated as open space, park land, or trailway in the Comprehensive Plan. Analysis: No areas of the proposed site have been previously designated as open space, park land or trailway in the Comprehensive Plan. A sidewalk exists along
the west side of Pleasant Drive and a trail along the southside of Northridge
Drive.
Site Location
2) A need for additional parks or recreational facilities will be generated by the development.
Analysis: This development is projected to add 31 new residential units targeted towards seniors and empty nesters. Three existing parks are in close proximity. Dakota Hills Park is located approximately 950 feet east of the property (across Pleasant Drive Drive). Pleasant Park is located approximately 800 feet north of
the property. Wallin Park is located approximately 2,000 feet west of the
proposed property. 3) The land adjoins an existing park or school open space property.
Analysis: The land does not abut existing park, school, or open space property.
4) The land could serve as a buffer between commercial\industrial property and residential.
Analysis: The proposed park is not located near commercial\industrial property.
5) The land contains or abuts unique topographical features. Analysis: The proposed land has been farmed and is generally flat and treeless.
Option - Cash in Lieu of Land Payment of cash in lieu of land is based upon the number and type of residential units to be constructed. A total cash payment of $70,400 ($2,200 x 32 units) for the entire development would be required under this option at the present rate. Payment would be
made at the time of final plat for each phase. The first phase of construction consisting of
16 units would have a park dedication payment of $35,200. Option - Private Open Space and Facilities The Subdivision Ordinance allows for the development of private open space, park, and
recreation facilities to account for up to fifty percent of the park land dedication
requirements provided the land is not occupied by buildings and structures, is open to the public, deed restricted to ensure public access, provides for natural features, or has a desirable use and the proposed recreation facility will reduce the demand for public recreational facilities to serve the development.
The developer has not proposed any private opens space or facilities. RECOMMENDED METHOD OF PARK DEDICATION Payment of cash in lieu of land is recommended to satisfy park dedication
requirements. The subject property has not been identified for a park. Existing
park facilities are in close proximity to the property. Payment for the first phase of development consisting of 16 units would be $35,200. Attachments

East Single Family Residential
South County Road 47
Multiple Family Residential
West Agriculture
Existing Condition The property is relatively flat containing a mature tree line along the west and east
perimeters. Approximately 2/3rd of the site is located within the 100 year floodplain of
the Vermillion River. The Vermillion River trail is located along the eastern and
northern property lines. Development is planned on approximately three acres located at the southwest corner of the property. PARK DEDICATION REQUIREMENTS Subdivision Ordinance
City Code Chapter 154.07 establishes public land dedication requirements for subdivision
of land. All property subdivisions resulting in the addition of buildable lots are subject to dedication requirements. The obligation can be fulfilled in the following ways: 1) Physical land dedication
2) Payment of cash in lieu of land
3) A combination of land dedication and cash. 4) Private open space and facilities for public use.

4) Private open space and facilities for public use.
Option - Physical Land Dedication
Physical land dedication would be required as follows:
Property Size 11.33
Number of Residential Units 70-110
Residential Density 6.2 - 9.7 units\acre
Required Park Dedication 1.7 acres = 15% of the gross area
1) All or part of the land has been previously designated as open space, park land, or trailway in the Comprehensive Plan. Analysis: The northern 2/3rd of the site is located within the Vermillion River Floodplain which has been designated as Natural Greenway\Open Space Corridor
in the Comprehensive Plan. The floodway designation substantially limits future construction and development. The existing Vermillion River Trail is located along the northern and eastern portions of the site. County Road 47 has been
Site Location
designated as a bicycle route in the Comprehensive Plan. Dakota County will be conducting a transportation study of the corridor in the near future. 2) A need for additional parks or recreational facilities will be generated by the development. Analysis: The development proposes to add independent and assisted living senior housing units and proposes to provide a private trail link between the building and the existing Vermillion River Trail. Riverwood Park is the closest
park, located over ¼ mile to the south. 3) The land adjoins an existing park or school open space property. Analysis: The land abuts and includes open space within the floodway of the
Vermillion River. 4) The land could serve as a buffer between commercial\industrial property and residential.
Analysis: The proposed park is not located near commercial\industrial property. 5) The land contains or abuts unique topographical features. Analysis: The proposed land contains floodway and scrub vegetation. Option - Cash in Lieu of Land Payment of cash in lieu of land is based upon the number and type of residential units to be constructed. A total cash payment of $1,100 per unit would be paid at the time of final
plat. Option - Private Open Space and Facilities The Subdivision Ordinance allows for the development of private open space, park, and recreation facilities to account for up to fifty percent of the park land dedication
requirements provided the land is not occupied by buildings and structures, is open to the
public, deed restricted to ensure public access, provides for natural features, or has a desirable use and the proposed recreation facility will reduce the demand for public recreational facilities to serve the development.
The developer has not proposed any private opens space or facilities.
RECOMMENDED METHOD OF PARK DEDICATION Payment of cash in lieu of land is recommended to satisfy park dedication requirements. The subject property has not been identified for a park. Existing
park facilities are in close proximity to the property.
