In~so doing, the homeowners will hold title to the dwellings <br />and property. The neighborhood gill no longer be restricted to University <br />faculty and staff. <br />As part of this effort, the University of Minnesota inquired if the City is <br />interested in purchasing the three common areas ar~d lots 7 and 14,. which <br />act as a commons (see Attachment A). <br />You may wish to consider these facts when making your decision: <br />1. The commons areas serve adjoining property owners as. <br />undivided open space. They do not act as a.neighborhood <br />park because there is no public access. _ <br />2. Our park plan does not address these areas as park space. <br />There is a University Grove Park. <br />3. The expense of maintaining these areas would come out of the <br />City's budget. _ <br />4. At the University Grove Neighborhood Association meeting, <br />University officials indicated the commons areas would be deeded <br />over to adjoining property owners or the Neighborhood Association. <br />ACTION RDQiJESTED <br />1. Review and discuss. <br />2- Make recommendation. <br />
