MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS E RECREATION COMMITTEE
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
RE: SILVER BELL ROAD - BLACK[IAWK PARK
Background: The Advisory Committee recently reviewed the Blackhawk Oaks pre-
liminary plat (September 1982). The committee recommended to
the Council that a road easement of minimal width be a condition
for approval of the plat along the north property line. This
would be an extension of Silver Bell Road east. This road ease-
ment provides for a potential access into the Blackhawk Park
at some time in the future. On Tuesday, October Sth, the pre-
liminary plat was approved by the City Council, with the committee's
recommendation for the road easement.
Issue:
October 7, 1982
Mr. Peter Stalland, on behalf of his father, Luther Stalland,
has contacted the director regarding a petition for the construction
of this Silver Bell extension (see attached resolution prepared
by Mr. Stalland) into Blackhawk Park. Mr. Stalland is desirous
of having the road installed at this time and needs to obtain the
signature of the majority of affected property owners before the
project can proceed. Because the City (Blackhawk Park) is an
affected owner the approval by the City /Park Committee would be
required. Therefore, Mr. Stalland is seeking the Park Committee's
concurrence, by way of resolution, to be a petitioner for the road
construction. Mr. Stalland is the property owner immediately north
of Blackhawk Park and would be benefited by the road.
Discussion: The committee had previously asked for the minimal width for a road,
"a park road;' which would not have to be developed to a full
residential roadway standards. Further, the roadway easement re-
quest was made to insure that the "option" of providing this access
was provided should future development require it. At this time,
park plans have not been developed which might indicate the true
potential or value of this road extension. Hence, the roadway
development at this time may be premature.
Action Requested: To approve or disapprove of the resolution of participation in the
petitioning for the improvement and road extension of Silver Bell
Road to Blackhawk Park.
MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR. OF PARKS AND RECREATION
RE: FISH LAKE PARK
November 1, 1982
Background: At the special meeting of the Advisory Committee on October 18,
1982 the committee was informed that a small parcel of land approximately
1.5 acres in size and identified as outlot "B" (See attachment) was not
City park property as had previously been thought.
Although the City zoning maps, City map as well as the "crude" drawing of
the Planned Unit Development has shown this as park or recreational land;
it is not. The City Planner and City Attorney have reviewed the Pilot Knob
Heights P.U.D. to determine if there had been a commitment for the land
to be dedicated. From their review of the files and documents, it appears
the City has no legal claim for the land.
This parcel is owned by Mr. Dan Ronrud, who purchased the parcel in 1977
from Pilot Knob Properties, the originators of the Pilot Knob Heights P.U.D.
Issue: The system plan consultant, Mr. Erkkila, was previously directed to
develop a concept plan for use of the park which had included the parcel now
owned by Mr. Ronrud. Members will recall that this park was selected for
concept development because of:
a) The very limited park amenities within the area.
b) The desire to make use of Fish Lake as a water based
recreational resource.
Mr. Erkkila did not proceed with the development of any plans for the park
pending review by the City Planner and City Attorney on the land ownership.
At this time no further work on the concept plan will be taken unless direction
is again given to proceed.
Staff has now been made aware that Mr. Ronrud would like to proceed with
development of the parcel and will be submitting a preliminary plat within
the next month. The parcel is zoned R -3. Mr. Ronrud contemplates two
buildings with nine (9) units.
Alternatives: At the special meeting, members discussed several alternatives
for staff to review. Alternative #1 was to determine a purchase price for
the parcel in question with the intent of purchase. Only then, it was suggested,
could the committee have a means of comparing its worth and value to the parks.
Staff has contacted Mr. Mark Parranto for an "informal" opinion on the value
of the property. He indicated a range between $25,000 and $30,000. Mr. Ronrud
was contacted recently and he suggested a price of $90,000 for the parcel.
It was also suggested that Mr. Erkkila might proceed with a concept plan as a
means of determining how the existing parcel might still be utilized, and how
the parcel might be incorporated into the park. In this manner, the committee
would be able to make a decision whether to purchase or not to purchase, based
on its worth /value to the park.
Action: The Advisory Committee is asked to review the issue at hand and provide
direction to staff and consultant on any course of action.
