City Planner Stockman briefly reviewed the Comprehensive
Parks & Trail Plan recommended for adoption by the Planning
Commission. The onl y change to the pI an since the Counci I met
jointly with the Planning Commission is that Cedar Park, located in
the area proposed for the golf course, has been eliminated.
Stockman explained that a public hearing must be conducted
prior to adoption of the park dedication and trail fees. A draft
ordinance was presented for the Counci I based on the
recommendations from the PI anning Commission. The cash park
dedication fee was recommended at $1,300 per residential lot, or a
land dedication of 10% of a less than nine unit residential
subdivision and 11% of nine or more unit residential subdivision.
The Planning Commission recommends a 10% land dedication, or cash
payment equal to 10% of the calculated fair market value for the
property, for Commercial and Industrial developments.
Stockman asked for input from the Counci I
proposed ordinance. The Counci I concurred that
commercial dedications be modified.

surrounded by single and medium density housing. The development
will proceed in phases. Rough grading of the course will occur in
1998, at the same time as the phase one properties are being
developed. I f the rough grading is not comp 1 eted, no further
residential land will be allowed to be platted until the rough
grading is finished. Opening of the golf course is anticipated in
the summer of 1999, and once establ ished and opened, the other
phases of the residential phases.
Ci ty At torney Couri presented the key points that wi 11 be
incl uded in the PUD Agreement for Cedar Creek. An abbreviated
developer's agreement will be prepared as each phase is developed.
Park dedication has not yet been negotiated for the PUD, but the
Planning Commission favors requiring land to be dedicated only
where shown on the concept plan, with the remainder in cash and
with the park dedication fee to be frozen at the level to be
adopted this year until December 31, 2001.
The Council received the Planning Commission's Findings of
Fact and Recommendation for Cedar Creek Golf Course for
consideration. Councilmember Vetsch would like to see the number
of town houses reduced. City Planner stockman stated she sees no
problem with the town home developments presented because control
of common areas and overall maintenance of the project wi 11 be
through a homeowners association.
Jensen requested that the Council review the materials again
and be prepared for action on the Concept Plan at the September 22,
1997, meeting.
City Engineer Carlson discussed a Pavement Management Plan.
He feels the plan would be nice to have but it is not necessary for
a city of Albertville's size. Carlson explained that the costs to
prepare the plan are initially high and the plan must be updated
every few years.
Carlson explained that he has put a plan to enclose the
Savitski ditch by installing 270' of 36" diameter pipe. Estimated
cost of the pipe installation is $15,000, plus the cost of fill
material, estimated at $10,000. The Council agreed to have Carlson
to provide Savitski with the cost estimates to see if he is still
in favor of proceeding with the project.

Agreement with Pilot Land Company as presented. Vetsch seconded
