r-Q c � of TO: PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION lict River FROM: PATRICK KLAERS, CITY ADMIN T. DATE: JULY 8, 1993 SUBJECT: GOLF COURSE LAND TRANSACTION The good news is that the golf course has generally agreed to the area that it desires to obtain from the City. This will allow the City to move forward with its plans for the development of Woodland Trails Park. As you may have read in the paper, we are currently doing an archeological study for the park area where construction will take place. This is a requirement of the park grant and is financed by the park grant. I have had the City Engineer do some work in laying out a future road corridor along the area of our City and golf course common boundary. The long range transportation plan shows a four-lane road in this vicinity, hooking up to Highway 169, connecting to County Road 32, and going across a new Waco Street Bridge to Highway 10. When this happens in 20 or 30 years, we will then have to change our park entrance. At this time, we would like to align our entrance into the park directly across from County Road 32 . This will allow us to share an entrance with the golf course when they expand their parking lot and driving range. The entrance into the park will actually be on golf course property that we sell them and we will get an easement from them to enter into our park. The park entrance that will be directly across from County Road 32 will then go north as soon as possible and access the park along the wooded and wetland area on the Nord property that we recently purchased. At some time next spring, we will have to deal with a house and garage issue and it may very well be that these two structures will have to be removed early 1994 . I am not sure when the golf course is planning to do its improvements, but I know that they desire to do them as soon as financially possible. One issue we will want to work with the golf course on is the relocation of its shed and the appearance of this shed if it is very close to our park entrance. Currently, the golf course is getting information from the County Assessor on the value of their property. Additionally, the golf course will need to get a legal description and a survey of their property which they are going to exchange with the City. The City and the golf course will "swap" some the existing • Woodland Trails park land where the driving range currently exists "even-up" for some of the land in the southeast corner of the golf course. The other land that we "swap" with the golf course ( 1.4 acres) will cost the golf course about $45,000 P.O. Box 490 • 13065 Orono Parkway • Elk River, MN 55330 • (612) 441-7420 • Fax: (612) 441-7425
