Establish 2001 Park and Trail Dedication Fee Schedule
Please find attached a draft resolution recommending establishment of the 2001
park and trail dedication fees. Residential single family/duplex and multi-
family/apartment rates were raised $100 for parks and $33 for trails in 1997. Over
the past 36 months, land values in Chanhassen have appreciated approximately
25%. Staff believes the recommended fees accurately reflect current land values.
No rate increase is recommended for commercial/industrial properties. These
uses generally produce only 10-20% of local park visits. A survey of current fees
for seven surrounding communities is attached.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached resolution
establishing 2001 park and trail dedication fees.
