MINUTES <br />City Council <br />Oct. 14, 1987 <br />Costa felt the adjacent property owners deserved some protection. <br />Fahey noted that there is buffering shown on the concept plans, <br />but noted that it would not be feasible to put a parking lot in <br />the center of the property. Fahey stated that the City would want <br />to develop the area in a first -class manner which everyone could <br />be proud of. <br />Jim Morelan, Park and Recreation Director, stated that he agreed <br />with everything in the Recreation Association's April, 1987 letter. <br />In rebuttle to the unsigned letter, Morelan stated that there are <br />non - resident ballplayers on leagues using fields in the City, but <br />this is true of every community. Morelan pointed out that there <br />are 24 Little Canada children playing football in Roseville's <br />program. <br />Morelan also reported that he and the Recreation Association have <br />looked for other available land in the City, and there is none. <br />The Centerville Road property appears to be the only feasible choice. <br />Fahey asked those present to raise their hands if they were in favor <br />of the proposal. Numerous hands were raised. Fahey asked for those <br />opposed to the proposal. There were none. <br />There was no one else present wishing to address the Council on this <br />matter. <br />Mr. Fahey introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTION NO. 87 -10 -485 - CLOSING THE <br />r PUBLIC HFAEI.NG ON THE CENTERVILLE ROAD <br />�* <br />PARK SAL <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Mr. Blesener. <br />Ayes (5) Fahey, Blesener, LaValle, Scalze, Collova. <br />Nays (0). <br />Resolution declared adopted. <br />This resolution appears in Resolution Book No. 18, Page 512. <br />Fahey pointed out that the Council has heard the arguments for and <br />against the proposal. The Auditor has also indicated that the <br />purchase of the property is financially feasible. <br />Fahey stated that he supported the City's authorizing the City <br />Attorney to pursue option agreements on the Centerville Road area <br />property. Fahey stated that he understood the arguments raised <br />by Mr. Butler regarding increasing the City's tax base, however, <br />pointed out that under those arguments no cities would ever acquire <br />park property. <br />Page -9- <br />Page 229 <br />
