ver MEMORANDUM
TO: Park and Recreation Commission
ft
FROM: Michele McPherson,'irector of Planning
DATE: June 14, 2000
SUBJECT: Joint Powers Agreement with Independent School District#728
During the week of May 22"d, staff met with Dr. Flannery, Superintendent of
Independent School District#728, Rick Foster of Riverside Development, and
Daryl Thompson of Riverside Development, to discuss a possible joint powers
agreement between the City, the School District and Riverside Development.
The School District is currently searching for property in order to construct a new
elementary school on the east side of Elk River. They have identified property
one-quarter mile east of Trout Brook Farms on the north side of 181st Avenue for
• a possible location for this elementary school (see attached map). This 40 acre
parcel is owned by Riverside Development who also owns approximately 240
acres north of the subject property. The joint powers agreement proposes that
the School District purchase 20 acres of land from Riverside Development to
locate the elementary school. 16 acres of land would be dedicated and given to
the City for park purposes as a pre-development dedication for the remaining 240
acres by Riverside Development. The City would then own the land which would
be used probably for open fields which could then be utilized by the School
District (see attached preliminary layout). Staff has already indicated to the
developer that the 16 acres of pre-development land dedication would not be
considered full dedication and that once the development is proposed, staff and
the Commission would continue to look for additional land or fees to be paid to
complete the 10 percent requirement.
The proposed 40 acre parcel is crossed by a portion of Trott Brook. The area
south of Trott Brook is currently farmed and is flat and predominately dry. The
area north of and adjacent to Trott Brook is wooded and could be used for
playground or picnic areas by the general public. A trail could be built along Trott
Brook, connecting it to the trail system in Trout Brook Farms and would also have
access to the reconstructed 181st Avenue, which is proposed to have widened
shoulders and a detached trail adjacent to it and within the Trout Brook Park
development.
