Notes
1. Acquisition -- North Pack
Present uwi»ei multi; to sell putt of tlto property to the city. Discussion centered on the possible purchase of
property on the north end of the park or to compensate the present owner for an easement, the
eammenl/pwv1taye of property would enhance the bicycle path options. It was discussed that the cost of a
permanent easement could be as much as the cost of the property. There seems to bo three options: 1.)buy
all the Luis and easement, 2,) buy one lot and easement, and :1.) buy Just the easement. The sub committee
recommended that parks staff should pursue further the first option i.e. purchase all of the property which
the present owner wants to sell.
2. Gopher /City Exchange agreement
Discussions between the City and representatives of Gopher City continue. One issue has come to staff's
attention that a bicycle path around the south end of the lake would not work unless it encroached upon
some of the property owned by Gopher, Boardwalks across the wetlands would be too expensive. Sub
committee agreed that City staff should pursue discussions with Gopher that would address this matter as
well as the discussions currently in play.
3. Capon Art Park
Mr. Caponi has approached the City to discuss and review options for the city to purchase the present art
park and some of the property owned by his son south of Diffley road, Mr, Caponi has also requested to
be present at an APRNRC meeting to be part of the discussion, Sub committee felt that this purchase
should be part of the larger issue of park expansion, park needs, and referendum issues,
4, Park Site 21 Preliminary development Proposal
Discussion centered on the topic of need, Do we need a city park so close to Blackhawk School or due we
need the cash dedication, Sub committee leaned toward the latter , $$$.
5. Carriage Hills Golf Course
This golf course is for sale. Sub committee was excited about the possibility of the city owning a golf
course. Other discussion topics were the possibility of an outdoor swimming pool and tennis cnnrta fuming
built on the site. Whole commission will visit the site before next commission meeting.
6. Opus Response
Short and sweet. if the city wants to buy the property opus will sell it at fair market value and will want to
be paid in full.
