` PARR BOARD MEETING <br /> JANUARY 8, 1992 <br /> and look at all new developments more carefully. <br /> George Lindy recommended looking into the feasibility of the trail <br /> proposal as presented by Marty Asleson. In his opinion, he doesn't <br /> know if this is the time to make these changes. <br /> Shores of Marshan Lake /building discussion - This item concerns <br /> the purchase of a functional, 28' x 64' stick built building that <br /> sits on the park dedication property involved in the Shores of <br /> Marshan Lake Development. (the old Forjay Floral building) Marty <br /> Asleson explained that staff was not aware of this building until <br /> after Mr. Menkveld had sold it. He (Marty) then contacted the new <br /> owner of the building and was told that the building could be <br /> purchased for approximately $10 to $12, 000. 00. The only stipulation <br /> is that the owner wants assurance that should the City decide not <br /> to purchase the building, he would have until April 1st or so to <br /> move it. <br /> Marty Asleson went on to explain that staff feels that given the <br /> AIM% location and condition of this building it could be used to great <br /> advantage by the Parks and Recreation Department, and would be a <br /> good buy. <br /> George Lindy told the board he flew over the structure recently and <br /> was impressed at how big it was, and thought it would be a good buy <br /> at the price. A discussion regarding the purchase followed as board <br /> members noted the building is not very old and is close to and <br /> easily accessible to the road. The general feeling of the board is <br /> that it would be a good investment. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: Bill Nissen made a motion to recommend to council <br /> that the building be purchased if the development goes through. <br /> Motion was seconded by John Baumann. All were in favor. Motion <br /> carried. <br /> Pheasant Hills - Marty Asleson gave an update of this development. <br /> It seems that Mr. Ed Vaughan has decided not to pursue his land <br /> "swap" plan whereby he would retain the island for development. Mr. <br /> Vaughan sent Mr. Asleson a copy of a letter he wrote to Mr. Dave <br /> Torkildson of Anoka County where he informed Mr. Torkildson of his <br /> decision to leave the original agreement in place with the City. <br /> LCMR Funds - Marty Asleson informed the board that the Legislative <br /> Commission on Minnesota Resources has sent out requests for <br /> proposals for projects designed to help maintain and enhance <br /> •� Minnesota's natural resources. There are some $29 million dollars <br /> available for funding in this program. He wants to keep the board <br /> 5 <br />
