ikRiver TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Steve Ach, City Planner
DATE: September 30, 1997
SUBJECT: Review the Sale and Purchase of Real
Property by the City of Elk River
Issue
The Planning Commission is asked to consider the sale of property in
Parkview Addition and the purchase of property from the School Board to
determine if these transactions are consistent with the City's Comprehensive
Plan.
Overview
• Whenever the City either purchases or disposes of real property, the
Planning Commission is asked to consider these transactions as they relate
to the Comprehensive Plan. The role of the Planning Commission is to
determine whether these transactions are consistent with the City's
Comprehensive Plan. The two properties in question involve the following:
• The sale of property in Parkview Addition which is the property located at
the southwest corner of Jarvis and 165th Avenue. This property is a
residential plat of approximately 6 acres of which one lot was final platted
and is now nearing a point where it will be marketed for sale. The area is
currently zoned R1a (Single Family Residential) which allows 2-1/2 acre
lots. The lot which will be sold is approximately 14 acres in size.
• The second parcel which the City is planning on purchasing is part of the
Alternative Learning Center proposal by the School District. A land
exchange between the City and School District is involved to facilitate
that project's development. The land exchange will include the City
purchasing approximately 20 acres and selling approximately 1/4 acre to
the School District.
