3. Whenever appropriate, user fees will be charged for participation in certain recreational programs as a means of defraying costs. 4. A comprehensive year round recreation program designed to meet the leisure time needs and interests of the citizenry will be provided and encouraged. 5. Gifts and donations for recreation programs and supplies will be accepted if they are free of obligations or impacts which limit later use (by a condition of the gift), do not offend other segments of the community, or which do not come with a hidden or delayed price tag which can’t be justified as being in the City’s best interest. 6. Lakeville will provide the highest quality supervision and leadership available within budget guidelines. 7. Volunteer resources available within the community will be utilized. 8. All programs will be constantly reviewed and evaluated to keep abreast of changing times and new ideas. 9. Private recreational facilities that offer opportunities to Lakeville citizens will be encouraged and supported. 10. Unless undertaken to assure equal opportunity and access, the City’s recreational program shall avoid duplication of the programs or activities which are provided by the private sector or other public agencies. 11. Policies shall be formulated governing all programs which are offered by the City and such policies shall be uniformly and equitably enforced. Parks Standards - Park Acquisition: 1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to acquire sufficient land to meet the longrange needs of the people of Lakeville. Careful consideration shall be given to the location, type and extent of park lands and conservancy open space areas acquired by the City to assure a parks and open space system that will satisfy the needs of present and future residents of the City. 2. Park land and greenway/conservancy open space shall be acquired through park dedication, purchase, eminent domain, or donation. The acquisition of less than fee simple interests, such as permanent conservancy easements or leases, shall be undertaken whenever appropriate.

3. Wherever possible, environmentally sensitive areas with natural or cultural resources will be included in lands acquired for parkland or conservancy open space when they exhibit characteristics which will contribute to the comprehensive system. 4. The acquisition of public facilities shall take into account and recognize private facilities and services which are offered in order to avoid unnecessary duplication and conserve financial resources. Policies - Park Acquisition: 1. The acquisition of planned parks, greenway/conservancy open space and other recreational facilities shall be accomplished as soon as possible within developing areas of the City to meet long range public recreation needs before development pressures render the property too expensive. 2. Private developers and Dakota County CDA shall be required to dedicate a portion of their land for public use when such a development includes an area planned for park acquisition. Where such a need is not apparent, the developer shall contribute cash to be used for the purchase and/or development of public parks and open space. All developers are subject to current requirements provided in Section 10-4-8 of the City’s Subdivision Ordinance. 3. Land dedications which serve no system purpose shall not be accepted as part of required development contributions. Such lands may, however, be accepted as a donation or a gift. 4. Unsolicited donations and gifts will be accepted as part of the system if they are free of obligations or impacts which limit later use (by a condition of the gift), do not offend other segments of the community, or which do not come with a hidden or delayed price tag for development, operation, or maintenance which cannot be justified as being in the City’s best interest or within financial resources which are available. 5. Land included in drainage and/or utility easements will be utilized where feasible to provide safe and convenient public access routes throughout the City. 6. To the extent possible, grants-in-aid will be sought to help finance the acquisition of parkland, conservancy open space, trails, greenways and recreational facilities. 7. All park and open space land acquisitions shall be reviewed by the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Advisory Committee and they shall make recommendation on such matters to the City Council. 8. Acquisition of high amenity and unique landscape areas will be sought as a priority in the development of the park system. Such landscapes could include City of Lakeville, Minnesota Chapter Five 2006 Comprehensive Parks, Trails, & Open Space Plan Page 85
