PURPOSE:
Ten park, floodplain, drainageway and open space parcels were dedicated on recorded plats but not formally accepted by or deeded to the City. City Council acceptance of the parcels is requested.
BACKGROUND
Dedication of drainageway and open space areas is a requirement of the City's subdivision regulations in the Land Development Ordinance.

All dedications of drainageway and open space are evaluated by a multi-departmental team of city staff and then presented to the City's Parks and Recreation Commission. The Parks and Recreation Department is in the process of accepting ten designated park, floodplain, drainageway and open space parcels as described on the approved and recorded subdivision plats listed below.
