West Access - Ingerson_Park - Committee questioned if this were a viable option, instructed Buckley at January meeting to research this. Buckley reported he had talked with the individuals owning the two lots which could provide this access; one of the lots has not been built on, owners do not plan to build in the near future, and do not wish to sell any footage to the Village at this time. He then approached the other couple who had just purchased the Ray Moss house about purchasing a 10' to 20' corridor; they felt they would like to wait a while before making a decision, had noticed that the neighbors are presently using the space Buckley indicated as access to the park. Mark Peterson stated he felt it would be well for Buckley to pursue the matter persistently now; past experience has shown persons more amenable to trails added early in their residency than to • trails added later.
