FROM: Josh Miller, City Planner DATE: November 16, 2017

RE: Parkland Dedication Requirement for S.C. Swiderski Apartments.

Background

As part of the Subdivision Ordinance that was adopted in 2010, the City began requiring parkland dedication or a fee in lieu of land dedication (Article V of Chapter 19 of the Municipal Code) during the approval process for major subdivisions. Section 19-80(3) states the following:

“In order that adequate open spaces and sites for public uses may be properly located and reserved and in order that the cost of providing public areas, such as but not limited to, parks, playgrounds, trails, recreation and open spaces may be equitably apportioned on the basis of additional need created by residential development, each subdivider of a major subdivision for residential use shall be required to dedicate land or fees in lieu of land for parks, recreation or open spaces.”

We recently received a new Group and Large Development project (2000 Block of North Hume Avenue extended, east of Wal-Mart) that will consist of 11 new multiplex buildings for a total of 160 new multifamily dwelling units. We are still waiting on the Certified Survey Map, but because this item is scheduled to go before the Plan Commission on November 21, 2017. Staff wanted to have the Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Committee review the parkland dedication aspect prior to the Plan Commission review.

“According to Section 19-80(2) of the Municipal Code (Subdivision Ordinance): Upon the submission of a preliminary plat for a major subdivision, the zoning administrator shall determine the dedication requirements and review them based on recommendations in the City's Comprehensive Plan and Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan and request that this item be placed on the Parks and Recreational Forestry Committee's subsequent meeting agenda. The Parks and Recreational Forestry Committee shall review all park, playground, trail, recreation and open space dedications and provide a recommendation to the Common Council based on the dedication requirements in Sec. 19-81.”

City of Marshfield

Memorandum

Analysis Based on the Future Park Acquisition Areas Map in the City’s Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan, there are no future parks identified within the proposed project area. Article V. in Chapter 19, Subdivision and Platting Code states the following when no suitable land has been identified within a proposed land division:

a. Where, the Common Council, determines there is no land suitable for parks within the proposed land division or the dedication of land would not be compatible with the City's Comprehensive Plan or Outdoor Recreation Plan, the minimum size under Section 19-81 (4) cannot be met, or City officials determine that a cash contribution would better serve the public interest, the Common Council, shall require the subdivider to contribute a park and recreation development fee in lieu of land. The fees collected shall be held in a non-lapsing fund to be used for purchase, development, and improvement of parks, playgrounds, trails, recreation and open spaces. The total fee shall be computed on the basis of the maximum residential use of each parcel permitted in the particular zoning district under the Zoning Code or the specific number of residential units approved by the Common Council as part of a Final Plat, Conditional Use Permit, Group Development, Large Development, Planned Development, or Campus Development. Parkland dedication fees shall be paid to the City of Marshfield at the time of final approval, unless additional time is granted by the Common Council. The fee shall be calculated based on the type and proposed number of residential dwelling units and multiplied by the amount indicated under the Parkland Dedication Fee in the most recently adopted City of Marshfield Fee Schedule.

The parkland dedication requirement is 1 acre per 45 potential development units or $150 per potential multifamily development units. The property is approximately 14 acres. The current zoning is MR-24 which allows for densities of up to 24 dwelling units per acre, however, the developer is only proposing 160 dwelling units for this property, just over 12 units per acre. Therefore with 160 multifamily dwelling units proposed, the maximum required fee would be $24,000 (160 dwelling units x $150). The fees collected shall be held in a non-lapsing fund to be used for purchase, development, and improvement of parks, playgrounds, trails, recreation and open spaces. Once this account is setup, staff would recommend that any expenditure made from the account be reviewed and approved by the Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Committee.

Recommendation Staff recommends to the Plan Commission and Common Council, choosing a fee in lieu of parkland dedication for $150 per proposed dwelling unit and directing staff to setup a non-lapsing account, dedicated for purchase, development, and improvement of parks, playgrounds, trails, recreation and open spaces.

Re: 2018 Cemetery User Fees

Cemetery fee increases for 2018 is an effort to narrow the gap between revenues and expenditures.

Please find the Cemetery recommended fee increases for 2018, and comparable cemetery pricing. The

comparables are based on cemeteries about the same size as Hillside. Some of them are privately

owned, some of them are municipal cemeteries and some choose to subsidize their cemetery activity

with added taxpayer money.

called a Niche.
