Existing Parks: Walker (64 acres), White River (49 acres), and Combs (81 acres) Staff Recommendation: Money in lieu of land Developer's Recommendation: Money in lieu of land 'www.ci.aurora.co.us October 8, 2001 / Page 2 • Justification: PRAB Regular Meeting The Parks and Recreation Division is interested in obtaining an additional park in this section of town but would prefer a larger land dedication. The city has recently purchased 19 acres approximately one block west of this proposed development and the American Legion baseball field is located across the street. Both of these properties may be available in the future as new park sites. A discussion was held concerning collection of park land fees. Currently, the park land fee rate is determined on the date of Final Planning Commission approval unless it is approved at the Final Subdivision Committee level. To decrease confusion, City Attorney Kit Williams is looking at options to change this process. Staff recommends the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board only vote on accepting money in lieu, accepting a land dedication, or accepting a combination without specific amounts. MOTION: Mr. Hill moved to accept money in lieu of a land dedication to satisfy the Park Land Dedication Ordinance requirement for Heritage East. Ms. Eads seconded the motion. Upon roll call, the motion was approved 7-0-0. Mr. Gulley requested $1,500 in additional Park Land Dedication funds to purchase vinyl fence material at North Shore Park at Lake Fayetteville' following concerns using treated wood products. These concerns were discussed in detail at Environmental Concerns Committee meetings. MOTION: Ms. Nickell moved to appropriate an additional One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500) from the Northeast Park District Fund for the purchase of vinyl fence material for North Shore Park at Lake Fayetteville. Mr. Ackerman seconded the motion.
