Staff Recommendation: Money in lieu of land thus requiring a wavier of the
ordinance to City Council for the following reasons:
I. The development provides lakes, swimming pool, basketball court, trail
and picnic facilities for their residents. See attached letter.
2. Happy Hollow School Park & Ridgeway View Park are located in this
area.
3. There would be confusion between the City Park and the residential park
features the development is providing.
4. Park land acquisition to the north of the development is preferred in the
future.
The ordinance states:
"...However, if the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board determines that a
neighborhood park is not feasible or advisable, it may recommend to the City
Council that a cash contribution pursuant to our ordinance be accepted in lieu of
land dedication. The City Council will either accept the recommendation for a
cash contribution or return the subdivision plat to the Parks Board with
instructions or further study."
