CERTIFIED MAIL
Mr. Tom Gilgenbach
19205 Zane Avenue NW
Elk River, MN 55330
Dear Mr. Gilgenbach:
It has been brought to my attention that you are proposing to host your annual Lions 20
mile race on Sunday,May 19`h. A portion of your race appears to once again be utilizing
Woodland Trails Park. As you are aware, the City requires the Park and Recreation
Commission to review all uses of Woodland Trails Park. In January 2001, the City
• established a park reservation fee for Woodland Trails Park of$50. A deposit for use of the
park,based on the number of participants in any particular event utilizing Woodland Trails
Park was also established.
The Commission is greatly disappointed that you did not approach the City for use of
Woodland Trails Park. The park is a resource to residents and visitors, however, it is a
resource that is fragile and requires the City's diligence in its protection in order for it to be a
resource far into the future. It is our hope that in future years you will approach the Park
and Recreation Commission prior to your annual event and that this year,you will abide by
the City's fee schedule and deposit for the use of Woodland Trails Park.
As we discussed last year,we do not want paint used on the trails and hope that you will use
chalk to mark the race route through the park.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions,please feel free to
contact me at 441-4902 or Michele Bergh of Community Recreation at 274-1840. You are
of course welcome to attend any Park and Recreation Commission meeting to further
discuss your 2001 and future events.
Sily,
• Michele McPherson

MEMORANDUM
TO: Park and Recreation Commission
FROM: Michele McPherson;Director of Planning
DATE: June 13, 2001
SUBJECT: Offer of Park Land
I met with Richard LeFavor at the planning counter on June 11,2001 regarding the potential
for acquiring a portion of his property for the start of a regional or area wide park in the
northeast portion of the city off of County Road 21. His property is south of Dick Gryz's
and has access off of Monroe Street NW.
• Mr. LeFavor has submitted the attached letter indicating an offer, and submitted an
addendum outlining a proposed transaction. As the Commission is aware, we have
identified this general area as a possible park acquisition site. Please review the letters and
indicate to staff as to whether or not we should continue to explore this property acquisition
with Mr. LeFavor.

Dear Michele,
Thank you for taking time this morning to talk with me regarding options on your future
park property.
My wife and I own seventy acres (PID#75-102-4200, 75-102-4401 & 75-102-4404)
North of Elk River. We would like the Elk River City Council and the Park and
Recreation Board to consider the property for the park site with the understanding that we
may keep five to seven acres as a future home site/animal shelter-rescue facility. A
facility that could easily be visited by park attendees during opening hours.
• If we keep five to seven acres and build this type of facility we would like you to
consider us for the maintenance of the property. This would include keeping the trails
clear, mowing of grass, snowplowing of the parking lot and clearing of snow for cross
country skiers, etc.
I have talked to several landowners whose property was suggested for possible park sites.
I feel they were way out of line on their asking price per acre. We would be willing to
offer our property at fair market value per acre. We are asking for 35% down and would
consider structuring yearly payments on the balance remaining with a term of up to 5-7
years.
If you would like to see the property please call me and we can schedule a time to look at
the site.
Again,thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Richard J. LeFavor

Dear Michele,
This is an addendum to the letter I wrote to you dated June 12th, 2001. Our interpretation
of fair market value would be a price of$10,000.00 per acre. We are willing to construct
the transaction as follows:
• $ 10,000.00 per acre
x 63 acres
$630,000.00
x 35% down payment
$220,500.00
•
• $630,000.00
- 220,500.00
$409,500.00 Balance due
We would finance the remaining balance of$409,500.00 over 5 years with annual
payments of$81,900.00 with 0%interest. The annual payments would be due on each
anniversary of the original closing date.
If you have any questions please call me at#763-262-6530 or#612-309-0010.
Thank you for considering our land as part of this future endeavor.
Sincerely,
16-Y
