*hi Request for Action River To Item Number Parks and Recreation Commission 6.1 Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by Action Items November 9, 2016 Michael Hecker,Parks and Recreation Director Item Description Reviewed by Eagle Scout Project Cal Portner, City Administrator • Westwood Subdivision Reviewed by Action Requested • Discussion of the Eagle Scout project,proposed by Tyler Hamilton • Recommend,by motion, approval of the Eagle Scout project,proposed by Tyler Hamilton. Background/Discussion The subject property is directly south of the property with the PID#75-465-0550. The property is indicated as "park"in the Westwood subdivision which was platted in the 1950's. Two streets were indicated on the plat as "Western Avenue" and "Park Avenue"giving access to several properties and the park. The "Park Avenue" street right-of-way will also part of Tyler's Eagle Scout project. Tyler would like to create a gathering place near the lake. He would also like to create a single track path from Meadowvale Road, along the "Park Avenue" right-of-way, that can be used by the public to access the lake. In order for this to be a successful project, the city will need to work with adjacent property owners regarding their encroachments into the property and Tyler will need to clean up the property. There are many encroachments, a few downed trees, and a junk pile which include a pontoon, a few boats, a few snowmobiles, a boat motor, and other stuff. On September 16, 2013, the City Council denied a request to vacate both right-of-ways on each side of the subject property. They felt the "Park Avenue" right-of-way may provide access to what might be parkland in the future and they wanted to ensure the city maintained the limited number of lake access points they have. Council Meeting If acted on, this item will go to the November 21, 2016, City Council meeting. Attachments • Westwood Plat • Aerials rPU ■ EAE ® BY NATURE
