Item # 8.4.A. <br />ver <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Parks and Recreation Commission <br />FROM: Bill Maertz, Parks and Recreation Director <br />DATE: December 8, 2005 <br />SUBJECT: Elk River Country Club Land <br />The Elk River Country Club Board has expressed interest in selling a parcel of wooded <br />land on the east side the golf course to the City of Elk River. They have expressed and <br />interest in receiving payment over time. There is an opportunity to apply for a Metro <br />Greenways grant for this property. One challenge presented by this property is the fact <br />that the property line is somewhat unclear. It will need to be surveyed. <br />There has been some interest by a developer in the property. In its current state the site <br />acts as a buffer between the golf course and the Great Northern Trail. In addition, it is a <br />valuable piece of the green corridor that runs down the center of the city. Staff is <br />interested in getting direction as to how high a priority this property is. Even with a <br />matching grant, the city's cost could be as high as $125,000. <br />ATTACHED <br />Location Map <br />
