Park Board Special Meeting 7/3/2025

The City of Norman Park Board held a special meeting on July 3, 2025, primarily to consider a procurement-related action item involving the approval of a fee in lieu of parkland dedication for the 2880 Classen Boulevard Spud Edition residential development. This development involves rezoning a commercial property to residential for construction of 18 duplex units. The board discussed the lack of available parkland on-site and recommended collecting a fee totaling approximately $2,700 per unit, plus an additional raw land fee estimated at $1,200, to support nearby parks such as Oak Tree South Park. The board unanimously approved the fee in lieu of land dedication. Other topics included updates on park maintenance and upcoming public art dedications, but no additional procurement actions were taken.
