MEMORANDUM
TO: Don Ashworth, City Manager
FROM: Todd Hoffman, Park and Recreation Director
DATE: December 7, 1994
SUBJ: Establishment of 1995 Park and Trail Fees
In 1994, the city's park and trail fees were raid m- response to an increase in land values.
At 1994 rates, our park fees generate $22,5004for eery 25 single family home permit issued.
These 25 homes equate to approximately 75 dew reddents who increase the need for active
park space by one acre. (The city's standai for the 'ovision of parkland is one acre per 75
people.) Current land values for developable propert�,ithin the city range from a low of
approximately $15,000 to an average higb'' of $30,000 1 ' The average of these extremes is
$22,500, which equals the amount raid by the park fee from 25 homes. Land prices have
certainly increased incrementally frorti 1994 values. Howlever, this increase has not been
glaring enough to merit tinkenng pith the fees for 1995 n lieu of this, I am recommending
any increases in park and trail es be deferred until 1996
