Ill. STUDY SESSION
~
PARKS AND OPEN SPACE FEES
Dir e ctor White stated he contacted numerous jurisdictions regarding park dedication
standards and fees in lieu of dedication. He referenced the chart in the meeting packet. He
noted there is no consistency at all throughout the cities.
Discussion points included:
1. Current Code only addresses residential.
2. Costs should be spread out across other categories (commercial as well as
residential ).
3. Englewood has no land to develop for parks.
4. The fund also applies to Open Space land as well as parks.
5. Is this fee worth implementing? What amount of dollars yearly would make this
worthwhile?
6. Don't want the fee to hinder development.
7. Fees are based on new development only.
8 . Who determines fees are waived?
9. Make fees low and non-negotiable .
1 0. Does not apply to scrape and rebuilds .
11. Commission suggested $.25 per square foot; does this include unfinished areas?
12. Staff suggested using a sliding scale determined by the number of units.
13. Fees are supposed to tie to the impact on the community.
14. Need a fee either per unit or per square foot.
15 . Commissioners asked Staff for the number of units and/or square fe e t built in the
past few years.
After discussion it was determined to recommend to City Council the fee be set at $.25 per
square foot for both residential and commercial. Specific details will need to be worked
out.
