OTION PPROVED Public Hearing: PL2007-003, FP2007-003 Preliminary & Final Plat for the Track 1, on the West Side of Old Highway 8 NW, to be known as Long Lake Landing The City is requesting Preliminary and Final Plat for the area known as Tract 1, on the west side of Old Highway 8 NW within the Northwest Quadrant. The Plat, to be known as LONG LAKE LANDING, will facilitate development of the APi headquarters, a secondary multi-tenant office building, public improvements already constructed, and various lots and outlots for future residential development. The plat will create 3 lots and 6 out lot’s, on two blocks including dedicated right-of-way named Northwest Parkway and Central Park Boulevard. Zisla inquired if park dedication is required on this property. Gundlach replied that while park dedication would normally be paid at this time, the City is platting the property and so no fee will be collected as the City could just be paying itself. Additionally, land is being dedicated for parkland with this plat. Park dedication fees have already been negotiated with the housing developers and APi has resolved their park dedication within their contract. Zisla stated that it is inconsistent, since if it were a private developer they would have to pay the park dedication fee. Fernelius asked Zisla to clarify the inconsistency. Zisla replied that there is a requirement when land is subdivided that park dedication is required. Fernelius stated that under the agreements with the developers they have agreed to pay the park dedication. He added that the mechanics are a little awkward when the City is the sub-divider. Staff has talked with the City Attorney about this and as a practical matter the City has negotiated with the developers to have those fees paid. Zisla inquired if the developer pulls out of the development what would happen. Fernelius replied that the fees would not get paid, but they would be built into any future development. Zisla replied that is how it should have been handled from the beginning. Fernelius stated that City is studying the issue and trying to develop a policy to help implement the ordinance. CPH.
