AGENDA ITEM <br /> STAFF ORIGINATOR: Marty Asleson <br /> DATE: December 17, 1996 <br /> TOPIC: Cottage Homesteads of Willow Ponds, Land Transfer <br /> BACKGROUND <br /> This item was looked at briefly at a previous Park Board meeting in <br /> September. A Pre-Park Board field session was scheduled for <br /> September to view this land. The Board at that time thought this <br /> would be a good idea and to pursue it when the details were worked <br /> on. <br /> Council Member Neal has requested the Board look at this in <br /> January. Please find attached a map and letter from Mr. Terry <br /> Schmid of the Cottage Homesteads of Willow Ponds. <br /> Basically, Cottage Homesteads will deed to the City this land for <br /> the sum of $1 . 00 From the original discussions of this site it was <br /> determined that the seniors needed a small gathering spot for <br /> gardening, picnic tables, or other. <br /> This area would suffice for these purposes and has irrigation <br /> available. <br /> The criteria for a mini-park are marginal distance from a regional <br /> park, isolation by a busy road, and high density housing such as <br /> town homes or senior cottage buildings. This area would meet all <br /> of these criteria. <br /> i� <br />
