F2hey <br />COUNCIL <br />I3evedv Scalzc <br />Jim LaValle <br />Matt Anderson <br />Riclc btontour <br />numwisrrlaroa <br />Joel R. Hanson <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 Planning 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 />*Future park uses given the proximity to Gervais Mill Park; <br />"Future City Center/Historical Society expansion location; <br />Potential for some road and culvei~Y 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 filled 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 />under this building as an alternative to the installation of pylings. <br />cc: I{athy Smith <br />Planning Commission <br />
