MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />SEPTEMBER 27, 1995 <br />Fahey stated that he had no interest in putting a park <br />on the Maplewood border. <br />Morelan suggested that if a park was developed on the <br />sculley property it would not be without cost to <br />Maplewood. If the area develops in a way that would <br />necessitate a park, Morelan suggested that the City <br />look at some shared use with Maplewood. <br />Fahey stated that since the consensus of the Council is <br />that there is no interest in the proposal at this time, <br />he directed staff to send Maplewood a letter informing <br />them of this. <br />DON RUE Council reviewed the request of Mr. Don Rue to purchase <br />REQUEST TO the City's property adjacent to his land in Yorkton <br />PURCHASE Industrial Park. The City Administrator pointed out <br />CITY that the Park & Recreation Commission has indicated <br />PROPERTY that should a neighborhood park be developed in this <br />area, that park be located on the McNamara property <br />along Jackson Street rather than on the trapezoid- <br />shaped piece adjacent to the Rue property. <br />Scalze suggested that the neighborhood be notified that <br />the City is considering this. Scalze pointed out that <br />the developer may have told the homeowners that a park <br />would be developed on this trapezoid-shaped parcel. <br />The City Administrator pointed out that the City did <br />not notify residents of the potential sale of City <br />property to the Denery property developers. <br />Scalze noted that the City will be acquiring a large <br />piece of park land from the Denery development. <br />Therefore, she felt the situation was different. <br />Scalze also pointed out that the 30 foot strip of park <br />land that connects Jackson Street to the trapezoid <br />piece. <br />Morelan suggested that should the City decide to sell <br />the trapezoid piece, a walkway easement be retained <br />connecting Jackson Street to the Water Works property. <br />Mrs. Scalze introduced the following resolution and <br />moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTION NO. 95-9-226 - DIRECTING STAFF TO SURVEY THE <br />RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY OWNERS IN THE AREA REGARDING THE <br />POTENTIAL SALE OF THE TRAPEZOID PARCEL TO MR. DON RUE, <br />INDICATING THAT THE CITY WOULD RETAIN A WALKWAY <br />EASEMENT FROM JACKSON STREET TO THE WATER WORKS <br />15 <br />
