C I T Y O F <br /> INOLA11,1E8 <br /> July 7, 1992 <br /> Mr. Ted Mattke <br /> Mattke and Associates, Inc. <br /> 7671 Central Avenue NE <br /> Fridley, Minnesota 55432 <br /> Dear Ted, <br /> This letter will follow up our Park Board meeting of July 6, 1992 . <br /> At the meeting you proposed park dedication for the new Park Grove <br /> development (PineRidge Addition second phase) to be the same as was <br /> originally presented to the Park Board on March 5, 1990. <br /> In researching the minutes from the March 5, 1990 meeting, it was <br /> discovered that the Park Board recommended several options to the <br /> City Council. As you can see in the attached excerpt of these <br /> minutes, there was, and still is a concern of wetland in this area <br /> being presented as buildable land. Also of some concern was the <br /> matter of being able to mow and maintain the dedicated park area <br /> and whether the Corps of Engineers would allow the City to do so. <br /> You assured us that this would not be a problem, and you would have <br /> the Corps submit a letter regarding that matter to us. <br /> Ted, another important matter of concern is the elevation. When the <br /> recommendation was made to Council in 1990, the Park Board insisted <br /> that the grading be brought up to 3' above the 100 year flood <br /> elevation. You have also assured us that this will be done. <br /> At our last Park Board meeting, the Board moved to recommend to <br /> Council to accept Option #2, as originally proposed on March 5, <br /> 1990. Please note that Option #2 further states: "Option #2 to be <br /> accepted only if Option #1 is in some way not legally feasible to <br /> do. " <br /> One other addition to the park dedication proposal is the purchase <br /> of Outlot D from the City. This issue was addressed in the <br /> Development Contract dated and signed June 10, 1991. . . . " Item 14. <br /> PARK DEDICATION. Park land shall be deeded to City. Developer has <br /> the right of first refusal for two (2) years from the date hereof <br /> to purchase if the City, at its sole option, decides to sell. The <br /> purchase price shall be Twenty-seven Thousand Two Hundred and <br /> 1189 MAIN STREET, LINO LAKES,MINNE8OTA 55014 612-464-5562 <br />
