Council clarified with yes. Ms. Barnes stated there is no expiration, but Mr. Foley asked if the park requirements were met for Sections one and two. Megan Mainer, Director of Parks and Recreation, addressed Council and stated that when the project was initiated in 2018 there were proposed amenities and during that time there was a Parkland Dedication Ordinance that was adopted and approved and included park standards that this plan did not meet. Ms. Mainer stated because the city requires a minimum of five acres be dedicated, it cannot include detention areas, which in section one and two itis a majority of a detention area. Before agreements were executed, the cityinformed the developerwhat: the minimum park standards were. The developer did not agree to install those amenities so what you see today is the paved path and the water feature. Those were not reimbursed as parkland dedication items. The city did receive the parkland fees because of the application filing and they were able to pay those parkland dedication fees at $575 per dwelling unit. Again, new developments from here on out they will need to abide by the new Parkland Dedication Ordinance, which is much more costly in most cases because of the cost of land is going up and the development cost of parkland improvements are going up and so we have captured that in the new parkland dedication ordinance.

Ms. Barnes stated that Council can approve Mr. Foley to put the park items that he did not have enough acreage for in Sections one and two and put them in Sections three and four and stated Council can authorize thath beforet the Serviceand Assessment Plan is approved. Itwill beconsidered aN Major improvement that benéfits the entire PID because the assessments for Riverwood Ranch have already been levied, the residents cannot be made to pay for Council discussed to table a decision on the reimbursement agreement for Riverwood Ranch North, which is Sections three and four.
