We are very interested in this type of cooperative venture in all of our communities. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />As you may know, we have already volunteered use of our property for the local biathlon training <br />course. This is something that we have done through the auspices of the Boy Scouts of America <br />and the local chapter of the U.S. Biathlon Association. This arrangement has been a winner for all <br />parties involved. We would like to continue this type of community involvement. <br /> <br />In light of the very keen interest in preserving the old growth oak forest in the southwesterly <br />comer of the company's property, the Shiely Company would like to donate 50 acres in that area <br />for parks purposes. We propose that the city take this acreage in lieu of park dedication at the <br />time of development. This donation would be credited against the requirement for 10% land <br />dedication at the time of development, taking the 900 acres as a whole. In other words, an <br />additional 40 acres remains for dedication on the nonhero property. <br /> <br />In addition to this current donation, if there is interest in expanding this park area. we would be <br />happy to consider other ways in which the city could acquire additional park space. <br /> <br />If you have any questions or would like to discuss any of this further, please call me at 683-8122 <br />or Bob Bieraugel at 683-8123, <br /> <br />Thank you. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />--r'.J4- ~ tJ j j) I/. <br />...J-idlUL.
