Blesener noted the Park Street area between Terrace Heights and Roseville Area Middle School and suggested that some evergreens and other landscaping be planted in that area. The City Administrator pointed out that City had discussed vacating Park Street in this area a number of years ago. He pointed out that Terrace Heights has removed the vehicles and equipment that they had stored on this right -of -way. He also indicated that there are some issues related to the location of the fence, and noted that soccer game spectators utilize this area for watching games, even though it is posted as no parking. The Administrator reported that there are a couple of options that the City has been discussing with Terrace Heights. These include planting the area in a way as to still provide for snow storage for Terrace Heights and /or moving the fence closer to the road and allowing the School District to expand its field area. The Administrator noted that the School District would have to agree to the option chosen. At this time Terrace Heights is evaluating these options. City staff will be pursuing this matter with both Terrace Heights and the School District. The City Administrator reported that pursuant to State Statute, the City Council can conduct a closed meeting to contemplate purchase offers for real estate. The Administrator reported that the City has been approached by the owner of the former Norm's Tires property at 477 Little Canada Road asking if the City is interested in purchasing the property. A potential use would be for a new Public Works site. The Administrator reported that he told the owner he would present this matter to the City Council. The Administrator also indicated that the Council should consider this potential purchase in light of the City's property at 167 South Owasso Blvd. and the potential to purchase adjacent properties for redevelopment and a new Public Works site. Therefore, the City Administrator recommended that the Council call for a closed session to discuss these matters. He noted that the session will be video recorded and the recording will be made available to the public once the matter is resolved. 5
