90 December 9, 1974 areas such as Lino Lakes who cannot afford such people. Mr. Marier asked that Mr. Doyle be thanked for his time and the Council should request to speak at a MC meeting or else send a Resolution. Mayor Bohjanen thanked Mr. Doyle. for his time and information. Mr. Doyle felt the time was well spent. He thanked the Council for the opportunity to speak to them. Mr. Torkildsen and Mr. Bob Parta were next on the agenda. Maoyr Bohjanen called for a 5 minute recess. When the Council reconvened, Mr. Locher had four points that he wished cleared. The first area of discussion was the Tagg property. Mr. Locher had scaled the maps and found that the line on the Anoka County map was some 850' too far West on the North boundary and about 270' too far West on the South boundary. Mr. Torkildsen said at the present time appraisal work on that property, had stopped Mr. Tagg has plans for the installation of a landing strip along the North edge of his property, and he had changed some planning for the location of the motel. Until the Councty can ascertain the needs of Mr. Tagg, no more will be done in that area. Mr. McLean asked that the line be brought back to the original agreed area and Mr. Torkildsen said it would be done. Mr. Locher then presented the area where the Kelling, Nyren, and McConville properties are located. It is definitely stated in Open Space minutes that these properties are to be omitted from the land acquisition program. Mr. Torkildsen did not remember this. Mr. Parta felt that the cross hatched area was to represent the Jandric golf course and these lands had been included as a part of the area. In agreeing to this, the understanding of the Open Space Commission was that the Kelling knoll would be omitted. Mr. McLean agreed that this was so, he felt that it was understood that the flood plains would be included in the Park but that that portion of high land would be omitted. 1 1 Mr. Marier said that in making their decisions on the agreement, all preceeding discussion and progress was carried forward to the final agreement. All points made before had been agreed upon, and the only points of contention was two parcels of land the golf course and the Leibel property on Centerville Lake. Mr. Parta said in that case, the cross hatched section takes in more area than it should. Mr. Torkildsen said if this area is to be omitted from the Open Space, then these home can only be acquired by negotiations with the owners. Mr. Marier repeated that his understanding was that only two parcels - Leibel's and the golf course - were in questions; all other areas are the same in Exhibit A/- Mr. Torkildsen asked, if the individuals want to sell and the appraisals are too low, III can the Anoka Park Board take them into condemnation procedures - is this acceptable to the Council? Mr. McLean felt that this is something that must be settled between the owners and the Park Board.
