III. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING THE REVISION OF THE
PARKLAND DEDICATION ORDINANCE RECOMMENDATIONS - MARIANNE
BANKS
Gary Martin, Deputy City Attorney, reviewed the revised ordinance. Each section was
reviewed.
"42020 Formula for Calculating Area of Park Land
There was only a grammatical error in that section.
"42025 Alternative Dedication for Parkland within Concept Planned Subdivisions
Section A.
There was some discussion as to the period of time that a subdiver may request approval of
a development agreement with the City to dedicate land to the City which may be exchanged
by the City in the future for more desirable parkland interior to the subdivision. Some
suggested decreasing it to 2-3 years instead of 5, but that does not leave the developer much

time to develop the property. John suggested tying it to the projected build out date.
A defined period of time not to exceed 5 years was decided upon as the length of time that
a subdiver may request approval of a development agreement with the City to dedicate land
to the City which may be exchanged by the City in the future for more desirable parkland
interior to the subdivision.
Section B.
This section had no corrections.
"42030 Fee Payment In -lieu of Park Land Dedication
Discussion was based on using the FMV of the lot or a set fee to determine the fee required
in -lieu of parkland. It was discussed that the FMV would be too hard to compute. John
suggested raising the dollar amount per dwelling unit to $250. David recommended raising
the multi -dwelling unit fee to $200.
"42060 Final Platting of a Portion of an Approved Preliminary Plat
This is a process issue that Marianne will have to clarify
"42070 Design Standards for Park Land
Section A
No changes
Section B
No changes
Section C
It was noted that the words "should be" in this section allow for variances to the ordinance.
1. No changes
2. Under utilities required, it was recommended to change the 3/4" water line to 2" and that
the word "service" should be inserted between utility and lines.
3. It was suggested that the words "set by City standards" be added to the boundary marker
requirements.
Section D
No changes
Section E
1. This section had no changes. It was clarified that this section would apply to Pecan
Branch, Smith Branch and Berry Creek. This section keeps the developer from giving you
land this is not suitable for anything else and that you would end up getting anyway.
"42080 Private Park Land Credit
This section is to be removed entirely from the ordinance.
