LITTLE CANADA 14* PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT 515 Little Canada Road / Little Canada, MN 55117-1600 Telephone: (612) 484 -2177 / Fax: 484 -4538 April 8, 1994 JIM MORELAN, Director JACK FITZGERALD, Asst. Director MICHELLE DeBACE, Program Coordinator TO: Mayor Hanson and Members of the City Council FROM: Jim Morelan, Parks and Recreation Director RE: Park Acquisition Needs At its April 7th meeting, the Park and Recreation Commission did an initial review of park acquisition needs in the City based on the City's Park Master Plan. As a result of that review, the Commission passed a motion requesting that City staff determine the availability and cost of the following parcels: Lot on the west side of Edgerton under the powerlines. Lot is currently for sale and would become part of the trail easement under the powerlines; Vacant residential property on the east side of Jackson Street just south of Jackson Heights; Schletty wetland property; Turnquist wetland property; Dennery property under the powerlines - this would complete trail connection from LaBore Road to Payne Avenue. Other properties were also discussed by the Commission for future acquisition. These include the School District property east of the old Capital View building; the School District property east of the Roseville Area Middle School; and the properties necessary to complete a trail connection under the powerlines from Thunder Bay to Pioneer Park. The properties listed in this memo are those identified by initial review of the Commission. The Commission hopes to do a more thorough review of acquisition needs over the next few months. However, the Commission would like staff to begin the necessary steps toward determining availability of the five properties listed in the first paragraph of this memo. Page 68
