The Park Commission Item No. 6 r•ecommended that the City pur•chase 12 acr~es of pr~oper•ty fr~om AIC Corpor~ation for a total park area of 33.88 acres.

Bill Sander~s appear•ed befor~e the Council to pr~esent development options for• the Center•ville Road ar~ea pr•oper•ty. Sander~s pointed out that the differ~ent acr•eage options include 25.92 acr~es, 29.9 acr~es or• 33.88 acr•es. If the City pur•chased 33.88 acr•es, ther~e would be 335 feet of pr~operty nor•th to Al1en that could be developed with an industr~ial development. Sander~s r•eported that he has pr•epar•ed no concept plans for~ the 25.92 acr•es as ballfields will not wor•k with that amount of acr•eage.

Ther•e is also the potential for• an additional ballfield. Acr•eage would be 33.88 acres.

Dual use of outfield ar•eas for soccer~ fields is pr•oposed as well. Sander•s r•epor~ted that the distance between ballfields is pr•oposed at 150 feet which he felt worked well aesthetically as well as practically.
