The Commission, however, would like to request <br />Council consideration for the acquisition of the following parcels of land: <br /> <br />1. Richard LaFavor site - 70 acres in the northeast corner of the city near Monroe <br /> Street. <br /> <br />2. Bloomdahl property - approximately 312 acres located on both sides of County <br /> Road 33 west of County Road 1. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />· February 28, 2000 City Council Minutes <br />· Location map - LeFavor property <br />· June 21, 2001 Offer from Richard LaFavor <br />· Location map - Bloomdahl property <br />· Future park property matrix <br />· 10-year Park Capital Improvements Budget <br /> <br />At the February 28, 2000 joint meeting with the City Council, the City Council encouraged <br />the Commission to identify and approach property owners as to their willingness to sell land <br />to the City of Elk River for future parkland. In 2000, the Park and Recreation Commission <br />spent several months identifying and prioritizing a variety of parcels for possible acquisition <br />(attached). The Commission has been sending out "feelers" to those property owners <br />whose property ended up as high priorities for acquisition. The first several attempts were <br />not successful, and the Commission has continued to work down the list to other properties. <br /> <br />Phone: 763.441.7420 <br />Fax: 763.441.7425 <br /> <br />www. ci.elk-river, mn.us <br /> <br /> <br />
