I ) " ~. CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM I DATE: March 10, 1995 I TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator I FROM: Cindy S. Walsh, Parks and Recreation Director tS ~ SUBJECT: Parking Easement at Cuinmings Park I Background I At the time Cummings Park was developed, a parking lot for park users was not constructed. A lease agreement for parking space was drafted and signed with Control Data Corporation. This lease provided the City of Arden Hills with a parking lot for park users. The lease agreement I was set up with the option of extending the term of this lease agreement for two successive periods of one year each. This lease was apparently extended for the two years. However, the lease agreement expired in 1985. I Short and Long Term Parkinl,1 Options II During the meeting with lames Belland and Walt Seiler from Control Data Systems, Inc. and yourself on Friday, March 3, 1995, it is apparent that both a short term agreement and long term solutions are necessary for parking at Cummings Park.

Arden Hills could then construct our own parking lot. This area is labeled I Lot #2 on the Subdivision Plan enclosure. Recommendations I I recommend that the lease extension agreement prepared by Control Data Systems, Inc. be signed as a temporary solution to the City's parking needs.

As we discussed on March 3, some allowances may need to be made for the amount of green space Control Data is required to have. The deeding of this I- property to the City would mean that this area would have to be cleared; thus, causing Control Data to lose some of their required green space_ As we also discussed, this area is close to the I
