ACTION ITEMS
7770 Minar Lane North — Consideration of fee in lieu of Park and Trail Dedication
Public Works Superintendent Moore stated that property owners Stephen and
Kathleen Nelson plan to subdivide their 2.51 acre homestead lot at 7770 Minar Lane
North into two lots. One lot would be for the existing home and have 1.31 acres and
the vacant lot would have 1.20 acres. The Comprehensive plan shows no need for
additional park land in the area so a contribution to the park system would likely be a
fee of$2,000 per new lot created in lieu of land. A future trail is proposed for the
area however it will be located on city property. Therefore the contribution to the trail
system would be $500.
Motion by Commissioner Brandt, seconded by Commissioner Snellman, to approve the
proposed fees in lieu of Parks and Trail Dedication for 7770 Minar Lane North. All in
favor, 5-0.
