MINUTES City Council April 27, 1988 Centerville Road Ar•ea (Cont.) Fahey stated that he was not inter~ested in 300-foot ballfields. Fahey felt some dir•ection was needed fr•om the Par•k and Recr•eation Commission. Scalze pointed out that the Par•k and Recr~eation Commission did not anticipate any development of the Center~ville Road pr•oper~ty until spr•ing. The r•esults of the City's survey need to be r•eviewed when planning the development of the pr~operty. Scalze stated that she felt 12 acr~es should be pur~chased fr~om AIC Cor~poration. Blesener felt 8 acres should be purchased. Blesener• felt a decision needed to be made in two weeks. Blesener• felt the Council should look at the ar•ea and deter•mine how much land would be left for• industr•ial development. Blesener suggested that Bill Sander•s put toqether~ some development pr•oposals using 25, 29 and 33 acr•es of pr•operty. Blesener• suggested that the Par~k Commission might want to hold a special meeting to discuss the issue. Collova suggested that the nor•ther•n pr•oper~ty be laid out to see how it could be developed given var~ious sizes of par~k pr•operty to the south. Scalze pointed out that AIC Cor•por•ation is willing to sell the City 12 acr~es. AIC curr•ently owns 16 acr~es in the ar•ea. Fahey suggested that matter~ pr~oceed as suggested by Blesener• and that Bill Sanders should put some development alter~natives together~ for• the Council to review. Fahey sugqested that Sanders be invited to attend the next Council meeting to present these alter•natives. Scalze noted that Sander•s will not want to squeeze development into the par~k and will pr•efer• to have open green ar•ea. Scalze stated that she sensed some dispute with the size of ballfields, and pointed out that the size of fields will have to be decided as well. Scalze agr~eed that 300 foot ballfields wer•e not necessar~y. Sweeney asked if the City was inter•ested in offer~ing Butler~ cash or• ter•ms. The City Attor•ney r•epor•ted that the Fasciana family wants cash, Bibeau may want cash and Fr•attalone has been offer~ed a 2-year• contr•act with 3 payments. The Council felt that qiven the possible pur•chase of Spooner• Park for• cash, the City should offer both Bibeau and AIC Corporation terms.
