the 40 acre park site owned by Mrs. Aiexa Burow as provided in tt~e original
park acquisition layout.

needed on the Alexa Burow property an Rahn Road and Cliff Road. $2,500.00 had
been offered for this easement which was not acceptable to the owner; however,
the property owner indicated she would settle for $3,SOO~.Ot3. Upon motion of
Supervisor_Uselmann, seconded by Supervisor Rydrych, aye Chairman Rahn, it was
RESOLVED that payment of $3,500.00 be authorized for permanent end slope ease-
went on the Alexa Burow property and if that is not acceptable, then condemnati«^
proceedings shall be commenced.
The recent park acquisition from Cedar Grove for the enlargement of
Rahn Park in Cedar Grove No. 5 was next discussed. It was noted that the
southern boundary was very irregular. Upon motion of Supervisor Uselmann,
seconded by Chairman Rahn, aye Supervisor Rydrych, it was RESOLVED that D.C.R.
be contacted and request that they deed a small triangle of their property to
the Town for park purposes, and it was FURTHER RESOLVED that Mr. Rosene pre-
pare a total survey on that park area.
r:r. Roszak had received certain stipulations from Attorney Edward
McNenomy regarding the purchase agreement for the Joseph McCarthy park site.
Mr. McCarthy further requested that the purchase price be raised from
$43,000.00 to $4$,000.00. Mr. Roszak pointed out that this was the major
entrance to the park and the most valuable site in that park.. Upon motion of
Supervisor Uselmann, seconded by Chairman Rahn, aye Supervisor Rydrych, it was
P.ESOLVED that the purchase price of $48,000.00 be accepted and the purchase
agreement be referred to the Town Attorney which should provide that in the
event that the land on Lexington retained by Mr. McCarthy is subdivided or more
than one residence built thereon that utility and street assessments be then
determined on the basis of benefit according to the purchase agreement.
In addition, the Boards reviewed the proposed Parranto park site
purchase east of Highway 49. Because the area of the~site did~not correspond
with the area originally discussed by the Park Board an additional review of
the site will be made at the Park Board meeting on May 8.
Further discussion was held on the proposed park and frail system
with no decisions reached.
