City for platting of land for residential use. Platting is required when a subdivision of
land creates 5 or more lots,requires new paved streets or alleys, or is previously
unplatted land.
The proposed amendments also provide options for payment of cash for parkland
acquisition and development, and agreements for development and maintenance of
private land for public use open space use, in lieu of land dedication.
The hearing will be held before the Planning Commission on:
Friday, July 28, 2006
8:30 a.m.
City Hall Conference Center, Lower Level, Room 40
15 West Kellogg Boulevard, Saint Paul
The hearing record will be kept open and the hearing continued through the Planning
Commission meeting on August 11, 2006, for any additional oral or written testimony.
All comments concerning the proposed parkland dedication requirements will be heard at
this hearing. Comments submitted in writing should be addressed to:
Saint Paul Planning Commission
25 West Forth Street, Suite 1400
Saint Paul, MN 55102
or c/o allan.torstenson(cDci.stpaul.mn.us

same time as the final plat.
[DRAFTING NOTES: MN Stat. 462.358, Subd. 2b(b)(3) states that "in establishing the reasonable portion to
be dedicated, the regulations may consider the open space, park, recreational, or common areas and facilities
which the applicant proposes to reserve for the subdivision."]
(e) Parkland dedication; conveyance standards. Prior to dedication and conveyance of the
required property to the City, the owners, subdividers or developers shall provide the City with
an acceptable abstract of title or registered property abstract for all land dedicated for park
purposes, evidencing good and marketable title without liens or encumbrances of any kind
except those encumbrances which the City Council has approved or required in connection
with the proposed plat. The foregoing abstracts shall otherwise evidence good and marketable
title free and clear of any mortgages, liens, encumbrances, assessments and taxes. For any
required dedication of land that is not formally dedicated to the. City with the final plat, the
landowner shall record all deeds for conveyance of the property to the City prior to or at the
same time as recording the final plat.
(f) Parkland dedication;parkland development special fund created. There is hereby established
a parkland development special fund. All funds collected pursuant to the parkland dedication
process shall be deposited in the parkland development special fund and used solely for the
acquisition and development or improvement of lands dedicated for public use for parks,
playgrounds, trails, open space, or conservation purposes in close proximity to the subdivision
or development. Such funds may not be used for ongoing operations or maintenance. All fund
expenditures shall be approved by the City Council upon recommendation of the director of
parks and recreation in consultation with the parks and recreation commission. All fund
contributions shall be paid as a condition of final City Council plat approval, except, when
approved by the City Council, in the case of a development constructed in "phases," funds
otherwise required for each construction phase of the development shall be collected prior to
obtaining the first building permit for that phase. Payments made to satisfy the requirements of
this section shall be made separately from any payments for building permits or any other
payment.
[DRAFTING NOTES: MN Stat. 462.358, Subd. 2b(b)(2) states that "any cash payment received shall be
placed in a special fund by the municipality used only for the purposes for which the money was obtained,
and may not be used for ongoing operation or maintenance." MN Stat. 462.358, Subd. 2c, Nexus, states that
there must be an essential nexus between the fees or dedication imposed and the need created by the
proposed subdivision or development.]
Section 2
That Legislative Code § 69.511 and § 69.512 are hereby renumbered as follows:
Sec. 69.514.2. Public sites.
Where a proposed park, playground, school or other public site is wholly or partly within the
boundary of a proposed subdivision and such proposed public site is not dedicated to the city, no
action shall be taken towards approval of the preliminary plat for a period not to exceed ninety (90)
days to allow the planning commission or board of education the opportunity to consider and to take
action towards acquisition of such public site by purchase or other cause.
Sec. 69.5133. Monuments.
6/22/06 DRAFT ORDINANCE Sec. 69.511 Page 4 Zoning Code
(c) Parkland dedication option; land and/or cash dedication. At the discretion of the City
Council, the owners, subdividers, or developers of property subject to this section shall
contribute an amount of cash in lieu of all or a portion of the land required under subdivisions.
(a) and (b) of this section or an equivalent value of improvements as approved by the City
Council. The amount of cash shall be based upon the County Assessor's estimated market
value of the total acreage of the plat, at the time of City Council approval of the plat,multiplied
by the percentage of the land that would otherwise be dedicated. Not withstanding the
dedication formula in subdivision (b) of this section, the maximum amount of cash dedication
required under this section shall not exceed three thousand dollars ($3000.00) per dwelling
unit. The City Council may review this maximum cash dedication amount on a yearly basis
and adjust it for inflation. In determining whether land dedication or cash in lieu thereof will
be required, the City Council shall consider without limitation the suitability and adaptability
of land within the site for the purposes listed in subdivision (a) of this section and criteria for
land dedication in subdivision(a) of this section.
[DRAFTING NOTES: Park dedication requirements are based on enabling legislation in. MN Stat. 462.358
Official controls: subdivision regulations; dedication. MN Stat. 462.358, Subd. 2b, Dedication, states that
municipal subdivision "regulations may require that a reasonable portion of a proposed subdivision be
dedicated to the public or preserved for conservation purposes or for public use as parks, recreational
facilities as defined and outlined in section 471.191, playgrounds, trails, wetlands, or open space; provided
that (1) the municipality may choose to accept an equivalent amount in cash form the applicant for part
or all of the portion required to be dedicated to such public uses or purposes based on the fair market value
of the land no later than at the time of final approval"(emphasis added).
This provision gives the City Council the option of requiring a cash contribution in lieu of land dedication when
land within the site would not be suitable or adaptable for the purposes listed in subdivision (a).]
(d) Parkland dedication option• private land maintained for public use. The City Council may, at
its discretion, waive all or a portion of the land or cash dedication required under subdivisions
(b) or (c) of this section and enter into an agreement for the private development and/or
maintenance of land for public use for parks, playgrounds, trails, open space, or conservation
purposes within the proposed plat, subject to the following conditions:
(1) The land area or value of the land and improvements privately developed and maintained
for public use for parks, playgrounds, trails, open space, or conservation purposes must at
least equal that required under this ordinance.
(2) Land, facilities, and improvements accepted under this provision shall be accessible to
the public in a manner similar to public land.
(3) The City Council must find, after recommendation of the Director of Parks and
Recreation and the Parks Commission, that such land and improvements will serve the
purposes listed in subdivision(a) of this section; and
•
(4) The City and the owners, subdividers, or developers of the land must have executed a
parkland development agreement insuring that specified land shall be developed and
maintained by the owners, subdividers, or developers, and any and all successors in
interest thereof, of any type whatsoever, which includes, but is not limited to heirs and
assigns, for the purposes listed in subdivision (a) of this section. The owners,
subdividers, or developers must include a covenant running with the specified land
indicating that the land to be developed and maintained for the purposes listed in
subdivision (a) will revert to the City in the event of a failure to comply with this
requirement. When a recordable covenant concerning the ownership, maintenance or use
of private areas and facilities for parkland development is required, the covenant shall be
submitted to the City for approval. Such covenant shall be recorded prior to or at the
6/22/06 DRAFT ORDINANCE Sec. 69.511 Page 3 Zoning Code
[DRAFTING NOTES: Park dedication requirements are based on enabling legislation in MN Stat. 462.358
Official controls: subdivision regulations; dedication. .MN Stat 462.358, Subd. 1 a, Authority, states that a
municipality may by ordinance adopt subdivision regulations to facilitate adequate provision for transportation,
water, sewage, storm drainage, schools, parks, playgrounds, and other public services and facilities. MN
Stat. 462.358, Subd. 2b, Dedication, states that municipal subdivision "regulations may require that a
reasonable portion of a proposed subdivision be dedicated to the public or preserved for conservation
purposes or for public use as parks, recreational facilities as defined and outlined in section 471.191,
playgrounds, trails, wetlands, or open space; provided that . . . (4)the municipality reasonably determines that
it will need to acquire that portion of land for the purposes stated in this paragraph as a result of approval of
the subdivision."
The criteria for land dedication listed here are consistent with the criteria listed in 3, 5, and 16 of the Parks
and Recreation Plan chapter of the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan.
Policy 3 of the Parks and Recreation Plan states, "Pursue opportunities and partnerships to acquire land
specifically for open space and natural resource protection according to any of the following criteria:
a. Areas containing species included on the State of Federal list of endangered or threatened species;
b. Areas representing significant landforms, native plant communities, or sensitive habitat;
c. Areas that connect existing components of the open space network; and
d. Areas adjacent to existing parkland/open space.
Policy 5 of the Parks and Recreation Plan states, "Take advantage of opportunities that arise from
redevelopment activities to add or enhance the city's open space and natural resources. Priority will be given
to opportunities that do not add publicly-owned and developed parkland that will require additional public
maintenance or operating expenses." •
Policy 16 of the Parks and Recreation Plan states, "Pursue opportunities and joint use partnerships to
acquire or provide access to land for parks, open space, or recreation development according to the following
criteria:
a. Priority will be given to areas that are under-served due to distance to existing parks, population
density, or inadequate size and condition of existing nearby park)s);
b. Land parcels must be of adequate size to accommodate proposed development;
c. Availability and commitment of resources, public and/or private, to develop, operate, and maintain new
park facilities;
d. Gifts of suitable land will be accepted when resources, public and/or private, are identified to maintain
the property;.and
e. Conformity with other applicable public policy.]
(b) Parkland dedication formula. For platting of land for residential development that will
increase the number of dwelling units, the property owners, subdividers or developers shall
dedicate 0.008 acres (eight thousandths of an acre) of land per additional dwelling unit within
the plat to a maximum of twelve (12)percent of the total acreage of the plat, on a one time
basis, for the purposes listed in subdivision (a) of this section.
[DRAFTING NOTES: MN Stat. 462.358, Subd. 2b, Dedication, states that municipal subdivision "regulations
may require that a reasonable portion of a proposed subdivision be dedicated to the public or preserved for
conservation purposes or for public use as parks, recreational facilities. . . playgrounds, trails, wetlands, or
open space." For cities in the Metropolitan Area with percent of residential land park dedication requirements,
8% to 10% is the norm, one measure of what is a "reasonable portion." A few are lower (e.g., 6.8% in Arden
Hills)and a few are higher. The few that are higher(Hastings, Hopkins, Lino Lakes, Plymouth, St. Louis Park,
and Stillwater) have requirements with a range of generally about 9-15% of residential land based on
development size and/or density.
The 0.008 acres (348 sq. feet) per unit dedication requirement is 6.9% of a standard 5000 sq. foot one-family
residential lot. For a duplex, it would be 11.6% of a 6000 sq. foot two-family residential lot. The 12%
standard would mean more than 1 block of parkland for every 8 residential blocks, a development pattern in
which on average every residential block would be adjacent to at least 1 block of parkland.]
6/22/06 DRAFT ORDINANCE Sec. 69.511 Page 2 Zoning Code
An ordinance amending the Saint Paul Legislative Code by creating a new section,
Legislative. Code § 69.511, entitled "parkland dedication requirements, residential
developments," pertaining to the dedication of land or, in some instances, the
payment of cash in lieu of a land dedication, for public use when platting or replatting
parcels of land for residential development which will result in an increase in the
number of dwelling units, and establishing policies and procedures for these new
requirements; and renumbering old Leg. Code § 69.511 and § 69.512.
THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAINT PAUL DOES HEREBY ORDAIN
Section 1
That the Saint Paul Legislative Code is hereby amended by adding the following new language to

provided below, for platting of land for residential development that will result in an increase
in the number of dwelling units, the owners, subdividers, or developers of the land shall
convey to the city or dedicate to the public use a reasonable portion of the land for public use
for parks,playgrounds, trails, open space, or conservation purposes. This requirement shall not
apply to platting of land that does not increase the overall number of dwelling units. The City
Council shall determine the location and configuration of any land dedicated, taking into

of the proposed development, and following criteria:
(1) conformance with the city's adopted comprehensive plan and development or project
plans for sub-areas of the city;

(7) availability and commitment of resources, public and/or private, to develop, operate, and
maintain the new park land;
(8) priority will be given to areas that are under-served by parks due to distance to existing
parks,population density, or inadequate size of existing nearby parks;
(9) land to be dedicated shall be large enough for its intended purpose;
(10) land dedicated solely for roadway, stormwater retention, or utility purposes, or otherwise

8% to 10% is the norm, one measure of what is a "reasonable portion." A few are lower (e.g., 6.8% in Arden
Hills)and a few are higher. The few that are higher(Hastings, Hopkins, Lino Lakes, Plymouth, St. Louis Park,

standard would mean more than 1 block of parkland for every 8 residential blocks, a development pattern in
which on average every residential block would be adjacent to at least 1 block of parkland.]

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING C/7- 6
FRK
Parkland Dedication Ordinance
The Saint Paul Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on proposed amendments
to Chapter 69, Subdivision Regulations, of the Zoning Code pertaining to parkland
dedication requirements. The amendments would require dedication of parkland to the
City for platting of land for residential use. Platting is required when a subdivision of
land creates 5 or more lots,requires new paved streets or alleys, or is previously
unplatted land.
The proposed amendments also provide options for payment of cash for parkland
acquisition and development, and agreements for development and maintenance of
private land for public use open space use, in lieu of land dedication.
The hearing will be held before the Planning Commission on:
Friday, July 28, 2006
8:30 a.m.
City Hall Conference Center, Lower Level, Room 40
15 West Kellogg Boulevard, Saint Paul
The hearing record will be kept open and the hearing continued through the Planning
Commission meeting on August 11, 2006, for any additional oral or written testimony.
All comments concerning the proposed parkland dedication requirements will be heard at
this hearing. Comments submitted in writing should be addressed to:
Saint Paul Planning Commission
25 West Forth Street, Suite 1400
Saint Paul, MN 55102
or c/o allan.torstenson(a�ci.stpaul.mn.us

same time as the finalplat.
[DRAFTING NOTES: MN Stat. 462.358, Subd. 2b(b)(3) states that "in establishing the reasonable portion to
be dedicated, the regulations may consider the open space, park, recreational, or common areas and facilities
which the applicant proposes to reserve for the subdivision."]
(e) Parkland dedication; conveyance standards. Prior to dedication and conveyance of the
required property to the City,the owners, subdividers or developers shall provide the City with
an acceptable abstract of title or registered property abstract for all land dedicated for park
purposes, evidencing good and marketable title without liens or encumbrances of any kind
except those encumbrances which the City Council has approved or required in connection
with the proposed plat. The foregoing abstracts shall otherwise evidence good and marketable
title free and clear of any mortgages, liens, encumbrances, assessments and taxes. For any
required dedication of land that is not formally dedicated to the. City with the final plat, the
landowner shall record all deeds for conveyance of the property to the City prior to or at the
same time as recording the final plat.
(f) Parkland dedication; parkland development special fund created. There is hereby established
a parkland development special fund. All funds collected pursuant to the parkland dedication
process shall be deposited in the parkland development special fund and used solely for the
acquisition and development or improvement of lands dedicated for public use for parks,
playgrounds, trails, open space, or conservation purposes in close proximity to the subdivision
or development. Such funds may not be used for ongoing operations or maintenance. All fund
expenditures shall be approved by the City Council upon recommendation of the director of
parks and recreation in consultation with the parks and recreation commission. All fund
contributions shall be paid as a condition of final City Council plat approval, except, when
approved by the City Council, in the case of a development constructed in "phases," funds
otherwise required for each construction phase of the development shall be collected prior to
obtaining the first building permit for that phase. Payments made to satisfy the requirements of
this section shall be made separately from any payments for building permits or any other
payment.
[DRAFTING NOTES: MN Stat. 462.358, Subd. 2b(b)(2) states that "any cash payment received shall be
placed in a special fund by the municipality used only for the purposes for which the money was obtained,
and may not be used for ongoing operation or maintenance." MN Stat. 462.358, Subd. 2c, Nexus, states that
there must be an essential nexus between the fees or dedication imposed and the need created by the
proposed subdivision or development.]
Section 2
That Legislative Code § 69.511 and § 69.512 are hereby renumbered as follows:
Sec. 69.511-2. Public sites.
Where a proposed park, playground, school or other public site is wholly or partly within the
boundary of a proposed subdivision and such proposed public site is not dedicated to the city, no
action shall be taken towards approval of the preliminary plat for a period not to exceed ninety (90)
days to allow the planning commission or board of education the opportunity to consider and to take
action towards acquisition of such public site by purchase or other cause.
Sec. 69.51;3. Monuments.

(c) Parkland dedication option; land and/or cash dedication. At the discretion of the City
Council, the owners, subdividers, or developers of property subject to this section shall
contribute an amount of cash in lieu of all or a portion of the land required under subdivisions.
(a) and (b) of this section or an equivalent value of improvements as approved by the City
Council. The amount of cash shall be based upon the County Assessor's estimated market
value of the total acreage of the plat, at the time of City Council approval of the plat, multiplied
by the percentage of the land that would otherwise be dedicated. Not withstanding the
dedication formula in subdivision (b) of this section, the maximum amount of cash dedication
required under this section shall not exceed three thousand dollars ($3000.00) per dwelling
unit. The City Council may review this maximum cash dedication amount on a yearly basis
and adjust it for inflation. In determining whether land dedication or cash in lieu thereof will
be required, the City Council shall consider without limitation the suitability and adaptability
of land within the site for the purposes listed in subdivision (a) of this section and criteria for
land dedication in subdivision(a) of this section.
[DRAFTING NOTES: Park dedication requirements are based on enabling legislation in. MN Stat. 462.358
Official controls: subdivision regulations; dedication. MN Stat. 462.358, Subd. 2b, Dedication, states that
municipal subdivision "regulations may require that a reasonable portion of a proposed subdivision be
dedicated to the public or preserved for conservation purposes or for public use as parks, recreational
facilities as defined and outlined in section 471.191, playgrounds, trails, wetlands, or open space; provided
that (1) the municipality may choose to accept an equivalent amount in cash form the applicant for part
or all of the portion required to be dedicated to such public uses or purposes based on the fair market value
of the land no later than at the time of final approval" (emphasis added).
This provision gives the City Council the option of requiring a cash contribution in lieu of land dedication when
land within the site would not be suitable or adaptable for the purposes listed in subdivision (a).]
(d) Parkland dedication option; private land maintained for public use. The City Council may,at
its discretion, waive all or a portion of the land or cash dedication required under subdivisions
(b) or (c) of this section and enter into an agreement for the private development and/or
maintenance of land for public use for parks, playgrounds, trails, open space, or conservation
purposes within the proposed plat, subject to the following conditions:
(1) The land area or value of the land and improvements privately developed and maintained
for public use for parks, playgrounds, trails, open space, or conservation purposes must at
least equal that required under this ordinance.
(2) Land, facilities, and improvements accepted under this provision shall be accessible to
the public in a manner similar to public land.
(3) The City Council must find, after recommendation of the Director of Parks and
Recreation and the Parks Commission, that such land and improvements will serve the
purposes listed in subdivision(a) of this section; and
(4) The City and the owners, subdividers, or developers of the land must have executed a
parkland development agreement insuring that specified land shall be developed and
maintained by the owners, subdividers, or developers, and any and all successors in
interest thereof, of any type whatsoever, which includes, but is not limited to heirs and
assigns, for the purposes listed in subdivision (a) of this section. The owners,
subdividers, or developers must include a covenant running with the specified land
indicating that the land to be developed and maintained for the purposes listed in
subdivision (a) will revert to the City in the event of a failure to comply with this
requirement. When a recordable covenant concerning the ownership, maintenance or use
of private areas and facilities for parkland development is required, the covenant shall be
