Bo].ke: cc: Pain Hauge Barbara Soiaei 2 5 JUN 1974 Subjects OSA. ##0 Eagan, NN Open Space Monitoring by HUD Area Office As you are aware, the Area Office recently conducted field monitoring of your Open Space project. We are concerned that although adequate project information is being maintained, it is not maintained in a manner which permits rapid inspection. in addition to the above thei Io ring disorepanciea were noted: 1. No Land Acquisition statements or comparable statements were sant to owners plainly explaining the acquisition process and stating oars' rights. 2. No written Offers to Purchase with Statement of Basis for Just Compensation or comparable statement were sent to owners. 3. A resolution was passed for each parcel stating that fair market value was to be paid for each; however, the fair market value price determination was not stated in the resolution. We hope that these cents will help Eagan in facilitating future and acquisition. If one can offer any information concerning federal land acquisition policy, please contact us. sincerely , Thomas T. Feeney Area Director Mr. Martin Shields 1396 Lone Oak Road Eagan, Minnesota 55121 HAUGE & HOEY Attorneys at Law 3908 SIBLEY MEMORIAL HIGHWAY EAGAN (ST. PAUL), MINNESOTA 55122 (612) 454 -4224 June 14, 1974 RE: Proposed Eagan Park Acquisition Dear Martin: When we talked on June 10 about the possibility of Eagan acquiring 10 acres of park land from you South of Pilot Knob School, you asked that we get into writing some of the suggestions that we discussed. It should be understood that these are only suggestions and not intended to be in the form of a firm offer for purchase nor should they be used in the future in the event that condemnation becomes necessary. Minneapolis Office Suite 2210 • IDS Center Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402 (612) 336 -8361 The suggestion has been made that dedication of 10 %c the 40 acres be made and the balance of the 10 acres be purchased outright. It should be understood that the dedication of the land to the South of the school property is not necessarily an indication of average value of all of the land owned by you because of its low lying nature. Because Eagan has acquired two appraisals which average approximately $5,000.00 per acre, it is suggested that Eagan pay you $5,000.00 per acre for 6 acres, also the outstanding balance on the green acres for a three year period which we estimated at about $7,000.00 to $8,000.00 and the outstanding assessments on the property of approximately $2,000.00 on the 10 acres for a totalc.of about $39,000.00 to $40,000.00. Four acres would be dedicated directly by you and possibly,- contract for deed covering the purchase of the 6 acres could be set up whereby less than 30% could be paid in the first year and the balance over a 5 year period. The contract could be drawn so that in the event that development of the park is to take place in the second year or later, that the balance of the purchase price could be paid off at the time of development. Mr. Martin Shields Eagan, Minnesota 55122 June 14, 1974 PUi :ras cc: Barb Schmidt Very truly yours, Paul H. Hauge Page 2 tide would appreciate a reaction to the letter as soon as you have a chance. TO: Eagan Park Committee FROM: John S. Voss DATE: June 13, 1974 -- MEMO -- 1. Pemtom Park Dedication The data submitted by Pemtom, Inc. appears acceptable.

Also attached is a colored drawing illustrating a revision in Neighborhood No. 26. The neighborhood park has been expanded to include dedication of an area for "active recreation." The athletic area adjacent to Northview Elementary School would not be dedicated. This area would be reserved for the next several years for possible purchase by the City. The Planned Development Agreement would detail the method of purchasing this site. B. According to the developer, he is exceeding the new park dedication requirements. Attached is a copy of his calculations, These do not include the additional park area described above in Neighborhood No.26. The figures have not been verified by planometering each area, however, this will be done. C. It is recommended that parks, trails and ponds proposed to be dedicated under the Lexington South Planned Development be accepted . in concept. The details related to phasing of dedications, and the athletic area will be spelled out in the "Planned Development Agreement." This agreement will be prepared after the July 2nd public hearing on this Planned Development. Final approval by the Park Committee would be later this summer after your review of the written agreement.
