2007
Marty McNamer wishes to donate Lot 2 in Final Plat which is 43.574 sq. ft. (one acre).
The area closest to Creekwood Drive has been graded with a flat area that can support
a playground with benches and a water fountain. The remainder of the proposed area is
a south facing slope that is forested and an open space hillside. It is a scenic hilltop
location that in the fall catches glimpses of Catfish Creek.
The proposed park would primarily service this subdivision and neighboring residential
areas. The closest mini park in the area is Marna Ridge Children's Forest. Valentine
Park serves as a neighborhood park to the area.
Currently no funds are budgeted for development of this park area. McNamer
discussed the opportunity to find private donors and /or Leisure Services will budget in
this fall /winter C.I.P. budget process. The development of this park would have the play
equipment on the flat area near Creekwood Drive on the east side of the lot. Sidewalks
will need to be installed. This part of the park will be manicured. The hillside would be
native area and the forested area is already established.
The Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed the donation request and recommend
City Council approval. City Attorney, Barry Lindahl stated that the city would need to do
a title search and a resolution accepting the deed. This would be completed after
Council approval of the donation. Naming of the park will also be established at that
time.
RECOMMENDATION
recommend acceptance of this park donation. Funding of improvements would be
requested in the FY 2013 budget process to add to the five -year C.I.P. budget. As
always we will work with donors interested in park improvements.
