449 For clarification, City Manager explained that his previous comments concerned what are defined as real mini parks , those limited to 5 , 000 to 10 , 000 square feet . These were very different from the parks proposed , which involve about three acres , and the minimum sized park was about one acre . He also commented that in driving around the development , the places for the parks are there , with homes built around the space intended for such use . Councilman Williams noted that this concerned three parks in a developed area , and felt City had the obligation to the people in those areas to fulfill what was shown in the Master Plan . Councilman Petersen advised that some years earlier agreement had been made with Leslie that in the development , for every 1, 000 people , a definite number of acres would be developed , and that this acreage was to become dedicated to Redwood City , which was then obligated to begin improvement . City Attorney agreed , and indicated that for a number of these parks a deed had been accepted , to be developed within a specified time , or revert to the owner . He indicated if these particular parcels were part of the park dedication program, there was high probability of their reverting if improvements are not made . Mr . James Reiter of DMJM, 611 Veterans Boulevard , advised the subdivision was over a year old and therefore the parks were presumably in that category . Without arguing the legality , he did want to make the point that the tax rate the owners are paying reflects the fact that the money was borrowed and tax amortized for parks , but the parks are not there . In terms of total program commitment deed bonds did anticipate parks . In response to question by Council , he confirmed that these parks were part of the park dedication program, and he was sure dedication took place over a year ago .
