MEMO TO: Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commission 1111 FROM: Staff DATE : May 22 , 1985 RE: Grant applications Staff would like to request a brief tour of the Red Oak School site and Silver View Park to discuss the enclosed preliminary grant applications that have been submitted for State and Federal funding . The first grant application is a L.A.W.C .O.N. grant for phase II development of Silver View Park . The proposed develop- ment includes construction of four lit tennis courts , completion of the trail loop around the pond area , construction of a 100 foot rigid span bridge and overlaying the parking lot with a bituminous surface and concrete curb and gutter . The total grant request for Silver View Park is $201 ,000 . Staff feels that the phase II development of Silver View Park is imperative to the City park system as we are experiencing a large amount of vandal- ism to the turf because the parking lot is not barricaded off , as well as the need to construct additional tennis courts in the 1111 City. The second grant project is for the development of a soccer field complex and parking lot at Red Oak School site . As can be noted in the attached letter from Paul Donley, the School District is willing to provide us with a fifteen year lease on the property. We have already discussed the possibility of extending that lease should the grant project be approved by the State L.C .M.R. Staff is extremely excited by the feasibility of the Red Oak site and will be discussin the project in greater lengths as well as view- ing the site first hand on the park tour . Staff will be needing formal approval regarding these two grant applications before a final grant can be submitted. Should you have any questions regarding the proposed development, feel free to contact staff directly at 784-3055 , ext. #20 . BKA/sll Attachment 4111
