City of Evan MEMO Date: November 14, 2006 Agenda Item: IX.A; Commercial Park Dedication Fee Modification Action X Information Attachments AGENDA ITEM: IX. A; COMMERCIAL PARK DEDICATION FEE MODIFICATION TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION PREPARED BY: JULI SEYDELL JOHNSON, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION ITEM OVERVIEW: Consideration of an alternative method of calculating pazk dedication for new developments considered as CommerciaUIndustrial BACKGROUND/HISTORY: When evaluating a development proposal the City has the option of requiring that pazk and trail dedication be satisfied through a cash payment, in lieu of a land dedication. The method of calculating a cash dedication for all non-residential developments is based upon a formula that incorporates estimated land value and numerical factors derived from park acres per 100 users and persons per unit. In contrast, the dedication amount for Commercial/Industrial developments has been calculated based upon "net acres" a measurement of what is considered usable space. In light of new legislation requiring that municipalities utilize a measurable and consistent method of determining cash dedications, the City Attorney has recommended that the formula used to determine Commercial/Industrial dedication be modified to incorporate a quantitative calculation versus qualitative. The method- may also be used to determine the amount of a land dedication ANALYSIS: One method suggested by the City Attorney is that used by the City of Apple Valley. It creates a numerical representation of the impact that a Commercial/Industrial development may have on park and recreational facilities. The calculation is based upon a number of factors including; 1. The average number of persons/employees per 1000 square feet of building • Suggested for Industrial = 1 person per 1000 squaze feet • Suggested for Commercial (& office) = 3 persons per 1000 squaze feet 2. A "person (resident) equivalency" whichassumes that a person working. at the building may be anon-resident and therefore demand or require fewer park services as compared to a resident. Use of park and recreational facilities/services may be limited to occasional trail use, picnicking and employee ball games.. • Suggested equivalency = .5 (1/2) 3. Aland factor that estimates, per person, the amount of park land needed to achieve the. level of park service established by the City. • .Suggested standard = .012 acres per person (Based upon the current Eagan standard of providing 12 acres per 100 residents = .012 acres per person) AV uses .0095 4. The value of the undeveloped land. Eagan has opted to use the value established by the County for tax purposes rather than a more volatile comparable sales method. Examnles• Commercial; 3 x 0.5 x 0.012 x $96,500 = $ 1737 per 1000 square feet of building (AV @ $1846) (1) (2) (3) (4) Industrial 1 x 0.5 x 0.012. x $78,800 = $473 per 1000 square feet of building (AV @ $624) (1) (2) (3) (4) (1) =Average persons per 1000 square feet (2) =Resident equivalency (3) =Acres of park land per person (4) =Land value Comparison• Assume a 1 acre Commercial property with a proposed 5000 square foot building /up to 30 coverage is allowed (43560 x 30% = 13,000) Cash dedication under current systemlcalculated per net acre; 1 acre (-) any easements and Right of Way (example) _ .9 net acres x $6,080 = $5,472 b Cash dedication under proposed system/calculatedper 1000 square feet of building 5000 square feet / 1000 = 5 x $1737 = $ 8,685 Notes; The area of the building is calculated on total square footage, not simply the foot print.. Each floor of a multiple story building would be included. Should it be desirable to accept land in lieu of cash dedication an area calculation would be made using the acres per person value of .012 and the prorated equivalency for an employee versus a resident. ALTERNATIVES FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION: 1) Recommend that the method used to calculate a Park Dedication for Commercial/Industrial developments be modified so as to be based upon the square footage and estimated employee occupancy of a building. The calculation shall be described as; Cash (A x B x C x D) x (total sq footage/1000) =Dedication Description (A)Average number of persons per 1000 square feet X (B)Resident equivalency x (C) A per person land factor x (D)Land value per County assessed values Rate per 1000 square feet of building x (total sq. footage/ 1A00) =Cash Dedication Amount .Values (A} = 1 for Industrial development = 3 for Commercial/Retail Office (C) = 0.012 acres (D) = TBD Land (A x B x C, = Land Dedication Equivalent in acres £"' ~# City of EaQa~ ~Mo Date: November 15, 2006 Agenda Item: XI-A;Cascade Bay Season Report Action Information x Attachments AGENDA ITEM: CASCADE BAY 2006 SEASON OVERVIEW TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION PREPARED BY: CASCADE BAY STAFF ITEM OVERVIEW: An update and overview of Cascade Bay 2006 season. BACKGROUND/HISTORY: Cascade Bay has completed its 8~' season. The numbers that are prepared and provided are ' preliminary numbers; however the overview will undoubtedly show a successful season highlighting the addition of the Captains Course. Staff is already preparing for next season, available seasonal positions have recently been posted and important 2007 season dates have been set. STATISTICS: Staff will provide a PowerPoint overview of attendance, revenues, expenses and sales numbers. PRIVATE RENTALS: Staff received approval from the City Council to close Cascade Bay eazly every other Thursday at 5 pm in order to provide opportunities for private groups to rent the aquatic pazk. In recognition of the shorter hours for the general public, .Sunday evening hours following those specific Thursday reserved dates were extended from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm. Corporate groups were successfully solicited and culminated with 6 of the10 available dates being rented. On the rental evenings that did not have a reservation the park remained open unti18:30 pm. Looking ahead, private rental opportunities will continue with a target to engage more corporate groups. To provide a level of consistency during the Thursday private rentals, the park will .close at 6:30 pm to the public as is the case on Sunday evenings. During 2006 the park closed to the public at 5:00 on the private rental evenings. GROUPS: Groups continue to be a consistent strong base for Cascade Bay. The park still offers a desired regional destination for youth groups. Staff continues to review who and where the groups are coming. from and why they continue to choose Cascade Bay so that an even broader range of groups can be identified. Some of the comments from the existing groups include.: "the. amenities and price are a great value," and "the kids look forward to this trip every year". 8 L k' ah d toff 'll 0o mg ea , s vv~ continue to cater to and create a positive experience for all guests with a goal to target expanded opportunities for the evenings after 5 pm. Staff believes there is a target audience that can be provided the perfect gathering place for people who cannof experience Cascade Bay during the day. CLASSES AND CAMPS: Participation in swimming lessons and morning activities continues to grow. Little Mates, a program for parents and children 6 years and under to enjoy the play features before the facility is open, continues to be the most successful class. The morning activity that was most successful and continues to grow is "water walking" in the lazy river... Looking ahead, we believe. the facility can be used even more during the morning hours before the park is open to the general public. Requests have been received for more activities and at various times so that guests can participate in more than one morning activity (lap swim, water aerobics, water walking) in one day. To accomplish this, staff is exploring some mechanical upgrades and the potential option to move the facility cleaning from the morning hours to late nightlovernight so that the facility is completely ready for any morning activities. SPECIAL EVENTS AND PARTNERSHIPS: Wow! The guests have spoken! This year Cascade. Bay hosted some "special events" for the public. The first successful event was the Grand Opening of the Captain's Course. There were over 1,500 visitors that attend this free event. Another noteworthy event was. the "Movie in a Tube," in August. The event had so many people that the facility was not able to provide enough tubes for everyone. It's an event that is still being talked about. More events like this will be planned for next year and some will require pre-registration through the Discover brochure due to their popularity. Looking ahead, we will continue to provide events- and begin to create some partnerships with local community groups and business to make the events exciting, fresh and affordable. Additional lights were added to the facility during Captain's Course construction which will allow for later evening events and rentals. Watch for more opportunities for the community to enjoy Cascade Bay as much as possible in our short summers. STAFFING AND EXPENSES: Cascade Bay experienced its largest turnover in staff this past season. Approximately 150 employees are hired annually to staff Cascade Bay; this year there were 75 new faces to assist guests. An employee works at Cascade Bay on the average of 4 years so there was a large . number of staff who moved on to other job opportunities primarily related to their specific education. This re-enforces the great summer employment opportunity that Cascade Bay. provides year after year. As revenues increase so do expenses in a facility that is dictated by weather. Staff, utilities and merchandise for resale are the highest expenses that are affected. Looking ahead, staff is always looking for more efficient ways to operate and find cost savings. In 2007, for. example, Cascade Bay will undergo a facility audit to help. identify mechanical and energy. measures that can be considered to operate the facility more efficiently.: A similar audit was conducted at the Civic` Arena resulting in some significant long-term cost savings. CAPTAIN'S COURSE:: The addition of the Captain's Course was seen as a success and a great addition to Cascade Bay. The Grand Opening celebration took place on July 6th and the course opened for the remainder of the summer following this event.. During the Cascade Bay season, 7,989 rounds of golf (9 holes) were sold. During the extended season we experimented. with selling 18 holes at $5, as opposed to 9 holes for $3. During this trial period 63 rounds of 18 holes were sold. It was cleaz that guests were actually more willing to purchase the 18 holes, as opposed to just the 9 holes. During the regular season only twenty-two 10-round punch cards were sold. These were exclusively available to season pass holders. Once Cascade Bay closed for the season on Labor Day, Captain's Course remained open evenings Monday through Friday, and all day on the weekends. Attendance was obviously very dependent on weather. To provide a level of efficiency the existing staff from the Civic Arena were used to provide the supervision of the course during the extended hours. During this extended golf season, three birthday parties were hosted at Captain's Course along with one private corporate course rental. One hundred fifty nine (159) rounds (9 holes) of golf were sold. One punch card was purchased during this time. Captain's Course was officially closed for the season on October 15th. Overall, from July 7th through October 15th, 23 punch cards were sold; 8,148 rounds of 9 holes and 122 rounds of 18 holes were sold. Total revenue collected on-site for Captain's Course was $24,824. $797 of the total revenue collected was during the extended season, after Cascade Bay closed for the season. CASCADE BAY FUTURE: Management continues to study the operations and opportunities for Cascade Bay. The addition of Captain's Course was a great amenity added for the guests. Staff has already heazd many requests to add 9 more holes. There will be continued effort to make this a desirable attraction for the community by exploring more programming opportunities. Staff sees great growth opportunities in classes/camps, merchandising and season passes. The biggest challenge is to continue to ,find ways to keep Cascade Bay "new." Part of this is looking into re-branding Cascade Bay in 2008 marking its 10 year anniversary. Staff will continue to expand the marketing and promotion of Cascade Bay to provide the added value and experience for all guests. CONCLUSION: There are some challenges that lie ahead for the future. As the facility looks toward the celebration of a significant anniversary it also triggers the replacement stage. of equipment and the increased expenses of utilities, wages and supplies. Cascade Bay will continue to offer an affordable option for its citizens who have been supportive and proud that they have a facility of this statue in their back yard and will. continue. to be a trend setter in the municipal water park industry. 10 ~. i Subject to approval ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION EAGAN, NTINNESOTA MINTTES OF REGULAR MEETING: OF OCTOBER 16 2006.
