Manson <br />Attached is information relative to a request by Kathy Smith to purchase property along Noel Drive <br />that is owned by the City. In considering this request, the City Council referred the matter to both the <br />Parks & Recreation Commission as well as the Pla~ming Commission for a recommendation. The <br />Council also asked that City staff identify whether or not potential City uses of this property exist. <br />Below is the list that was developed: <br />'~Futw~e park uses given the proximity to Gervais Mill Park; <br />'`Future City Ceuter/Iiistorical Society expansion location; <br />*Potential for some road and culvert realignment at the time Noel Drive is reconstructed; <br />*Snow storage (current practice); <br />"Buffer between commercial use and residential neighborhood (currently exists). <br />It should also be noted that the City believes that this is property has been f fled and that the fill <br />material used contained concrete and blacktop (recollection from former employee). This belief is <br />also supported by the fact that soil corrections were needed as part of the construction of the storage <br />building currently being constructed at Norm's Tires. Approximately 8 feet of Styrofoam was placed <br />wider this building as an alternative to the installation of pylings. <br />cc: Kathy Smith <br />Planning Connnission <br />
