Action Requested
Provide direction on maintaining ownership or releasing the city owned property (75-432-0101)
Background/Discussion
The City Council reviewed this at their May 4,2015 worksession. They directed staff to get confirmation
on what recommendation the Parks and Recreation Commission have for the subject parcel.
Peter Rohlf approached the Mayor and city staff to see if the city would be interested in selling the
subject parcel on 191 '/a Avenue so he can expand his mini-storage facility that is located directly east of
the property.
The city purchased the tax forfeited property in 1992 to provide open space in a high density residential
area. The City Council and City Administrator thought it was appropriate to purchase the property to
provide some type of play area or tot park for children. It has been vacant since.
The state deed for the conveyance of forfeited lands has a restriction on it stating it shall be used
exclusively for open space/park. This is why the city obtained the property in 1992.
Staff and the City Attorney are researching if we can release the property and if so,what happens to it.
Staff will provide an update at the meeting.
Park Master Plan
The Neighborhood Park Service Area Overlap section of Chapter 3 states:
Some small parks with overlapping service areas may be redundant. In addition, some of these parks have difficult
maintenance access issues, lack real public access, are undeveloped, and/or are prohibitively small for park use. These parks
include:
• Baldwin
• Meadow
• North Terrace
• Elk Hills Green Space
• Property south of Ridgewood East on 191 1/2 Avenue (75-432-0101)
[ DIEM 1
NATURE
These parks may be unnecessary from a system standpoint and could potentially be better used as privately-owned or
privately-managed land.
If the direction is to keep this parcel,this section will need to be amended to reflect the change.
Financial Impact
Sherburne County has an estimated land value of$52,600 for the parcel. The parks maintenance
department maintains the property 8-10 times a year.
