MINUTES <br />Parks & Recreation Commission <br />July 7, 1994 <br />MCNAMARA Dick McNamara notified the Director earlier this afternoon <br />PROPERTY that he would not be able to be in attendance at tonight's <br />meeting due to a death in the family. Discussion on the <br />McNamara property was tabled until the owner could be <br />present. It was felt that the owner should be invited to <br />attend the meeting in August. <br />POWERLINE Wehrle felt that the Commission had no interest in the lot <br />PROPERTY just north of the NSP property on the west side of Edgerton <br />Street. He stated that NSP has been very cooperative with <br />obtaining walkway easements in the area. Therefore, he felt <br />that the land privately owned was the issue to be discussed. <br />Wehrle stated that there are three private owners in the <br />area -- Heinel, Nordstrom and Hoelscher. He felt that these <br />owners should be invited to a future Commission meeting to <br />discuss the possibility of the City obtaining a walkway <br />easement on their properties. <br />Wehrle stated that there could be a problem with crossing <br />Edgerton Street. Remerowski felt that the City should <br />obtain the easements first and then discuss the crossing. <br />The Director stated that he knows Heinel is not in favor of <br />a walkway easement on his land. The Director stated that <br />even though Heinel may not want an easement on his property <br />now, when the land is developed, the Commission could <br />possibly gain access at that time. Remerowski felt that <br />Heinel should be invited to the meeting anyway so that he <br />could formally voice his opinion for or against the proposal <br />for the record. The Director agreed stating that the City's <br />position on the matter could also be explained to him. <br />Wehrle felt that the City Administrator should send letters <br />to the private owners asking them to attend the Commission <br />meeting in August to discuss the possibility of purchasing <br />walkway easements on their properties. <br />Wehrle recommended that informally, the Commission members <br />should visit the site to see what it looks like. Public <br />Works has staked the property. <br />Remerowski recommended obtaining the City Council's approval <br />to discuss the possible purchase of walkway easements on the <br />Heinel, Nordstrom, and Hoelscher properties. <br />Motion seconded by Wehrle. <br />Motion carried 6 - 0. <br />SPOONER PARK Wehrle stated that the City has received a petition to <br />TENNIS COURTS resurface the tennis courts at Spooner Park. He stated that <br />-3- <br />
