STATEMENT OF POLICY
RECOt.U.'iENDED BY EDINIA PARK BOARD
ON
DIEDICA_TIO1' OF LAND ALONG WINS MILE CREEL; FOR PUBLIC MPPO ES
This policy is being established for the long-range .land developmoT:t of
those areas adjacent to 9 -Mule Creek in the Village of Edina, to serve as a
broad general guide to all concerned.
It is the specific intent to reserve the 9.114ile Creek and a strip of land
on both sides of the Creek channel as a water -shed area, and to preserve thi;.
facility as a portion of the open spaces for the general community.
The dedication of a strip of land approximately 100 feet wide on both
sides of 9-113le Creek channel shall be the objective, although Lh is may need
be varied, depending upon channel irregularities, water -shed factors, surround-
ing land useene, land values, and other perti.nent factors.
In the event that the flood area of a particular davelopment exceeds
the 100 -foot objective represents a fair value less than the five percent
dedication obligation of the developer, consideration should be given to pre-
serving a greater area.
'w, ere fair land value of 100 feet on each side of the channel exceeds the
developer's five percent land dedication obligation, or where the full 100
foot area is not deemed essential because of land topography, consideration
should be given to (a) compensating the davolopor ,`or the fair value in excess
of the five percent dedication obligation, or (b) consolidating dedication
obligations from other developments, or (c) reducing the lay.d reserved to
less than the 100 -feet objective.
