Approval of Real Estate Purchase Agreement, Douglas Hansen
Property
For the past ten to fifteen years, the city has identified an expansion plan for City
Center Park. Over this time, Douglas Hansen has held a 5z acre piece of property
just to the north of the park/playground that is zoned R-12, High Density
Residential. A concept plan identifying a potential expansion was prepared in
1991. Today' s proposed purchase agreement closely matches that concept.
The proposed expansion (purchase) of2.75Z acres would be split off from the
larger 5Z acre parcel that contains the existing apartment building. This property
represents the last "realistic" expansion opportunity to the green space reserved by
our central park. The expansion site, as planned, would accommodate two 180 ft.
foul line youth ball fields with a 35 yd. x 65 yd. soccer overlay. The ball fields
would be utilized during spring and summer baseball/softball seasons. The soccer
field would accommodate fall soccer leagues. Five additional soccer fields, three
of which are free from other field overlays, are identified on the plan. Two
additional 180 ft. foul line ball fields are also identified on the expansion plan.
The Hansen parcel would be home to the park's north trail hub with access to
Santa Vera Drive. A small portion of the site's current vegetation would be
retained as buffer in the southeast comer of the expansion site.
f ~_ :.... .
A set of plans depicting the proposed improvements to City Center Park are
attached. The city council approved these plans on February 9, 1998 and retained
Ingram Excavating to perform the work associated with this plan on May 13,
1998. The city retains the option of walking away from the purchase agreement
and is in the position to delete this portion of Ingram's contract. However, it is
my belief that the necessary steps and corresponding investments made to date in
administration, planning, surveying, negotiation, and contract preparation have all
been made with the city's best interests in mind. This purchase agreement with
Doug Hansen represents the fmal piece to putting this puzzle together.
The purchase agreement, as presented to the city council for approval, represents
the culmination of a long term conversation with the Hansens. The value of the
land has been agreed to and is supported by a complete appraisal summary report
he City ofChanhassen. A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a channing downtown, thriving businesses, and beautifUL parks. A great place to live, work, and play.
