ITO: Don Ashworth, City Manager Date Submittc`tt it r,- s-Y Or FROM: Todd Hoffman, Recreation Supervisor bate $uo^hied ' w:x-'�� p IDATE: August 2, 1990 81i3/1 I SUBJ: Approve Purchase Agreement for Proposed Lake Lucy Road Park Land Acquisition In May of 1990, the City Council authorized the city to enter into I an option and purchase agreement with Mr. Paul Hufnagle, owner of the above property (see attached location map) . On May 16, 1990 the city did enter into an agreement with Mr. Hufnagle in the I amount of $140, 000. A copy of the purchase agreement is attached. The Park and Recreation Commission last reviewed this item at their May 22, 1990 meeting. Upon receiving their approval, the next step I was establishing a final public meeting to ensure the residents were in agreement. This meeting was held on Monday, July 30th at City Hall. A copy of I the notice sent to the residents in the Pheasant Hill area is enclosed. Also attached is a list of people who were present at that meeting. IIQuestions concerning the acquisition and eventual development of this park land were addressed. No opposition was voiced during the I course of the meeting. To the contrary, residents expressed their desire to have the option and purchase agreement expedited. It is worth noting that of the six parcels originally identified as I potential park land in the Pheasant Hill area, this parcel provides excellent access to the neighborhoods and is the second largest in total acreage (this piece is 11.67 acres and the largest was 12.5 Iacres) . Upon investigating the events that have transpired to date and finding the option and purchase agreement both satisfactory and in I the best interest of the residents of Chanhassen, it is the recommendation of staff to approve this agreement and execute it prior to the midnight, August 15, 1990 termination date.
