MEMD T0: Parks and Recreation Commissioners <br />FROM: Staff <br />DATE: January 24, 7979 <br />RE: Silver View Park Acquisition Status <br />Enclosed is a letter that staff presented to Kraus/Anderson in response to <br />their initial land offer of 23.7 acres, 5 of which was low or under water. <br />As can be quickly surmised we were not pleased with their proposal and <br />curr2ntly are awaiting a reply. <br />In addition s�aff contacted Mr. Dan Ingelsma, Vice Presdient of Kraus/Anderson <br />to inform r,im of our progress to date and he felt the issue could be resoived. <br />It is s Wff's contention that we must take a hard line stance to lnsure a <br />minimum of 30 acres of buildable or high property for the park site. Staff <br />will be presenting blob studies on Thursday to show the possible relationship <br />of facilities to the proposed site. <br />This remains a delicate situation as staff would prefer a shift in site locations <br />from a development standpoint, but the need for a large cortmunity park parcel is <br />of the utmost. <br />As reported at the last Comnission meeting the City has submitted the final <br />grant application for Phase One Development of Silver View Park totalling <br />$73,450.00. In addition to that the City has resubmitted our application to <br />the trails section for review and possible funding. At this time State Planning <br />has stated that we will be receiving at least 40% funding and potentialiy 60% <br />funding. <br />i <br />
