• June 11, 2001 <br /> City of Elk River <br /> Michele McPherson <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway <br /> Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> Dear Michele, <br /> Thank you for taking time this morning to talk with me regarding options on your future <br /> park property. <br /> My wife and I own seventy acres (PID#75-102-4200, 75-102-4401 & 75-102-4404) <br /> North of Elk River. We would like the Elk River City Council and the Park and <br /> Recreation Board to consider the property for the park site with the understanding that we <br /> may keep five to seven acres as a future home site/animal shelter-rescue facility. A <br /> facility that could easily be visited by park attendees during opening hours. <br /> • If we keep five to seven acres and build this type of facility we would like you to <br /> consider us for the maintenance of the property. This would include keeping the trails <br /> clear, mowing of grass, snowplowing of the parking lot and clearing of snow for cross <br /> country skiers, etc. <br /> I have talked to several landowners whose property was suggested for possible park sites. <br /> I feel they were way out of line on their asking price per acre. We would be willing to <br /> offer our property at fair market value per acre. We are asking for 35% down and would <br /> consider structuring yearly payments on the balance remaining with a term of up to 5-7 <br /> years. <br /> If you would like to see the property please call me and we can schedule a time to look at <br /> the site. <br /> Again,thank you for your time and consideration. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Richard J.
