I' - 1 July 15,1996 " Arden Hills City Council, I Arden Hills #3 Association (AH #3) is an association serving a 65 home community that currently has approximately 37 children/teens and 140 young adults/adults. Presently 1 there are no recreational facilities or parks that this community can access without crossing or traveling on Snelling Avenue. For this reason AH #3 is interested in maintaining the City of Arden Hills owned tennis court property located on Ridgewood 1 Road as a multi-use recreational site (tennis, basketball, handball etc..). Based on discussion with the city council at a work session last fall we are under the I assumption that selling the tennis court property to AH #3 is not an option at this time. Therefore, this correspondence will state Arden Hills #3 Association's intent to lease 1 from the City of Arden Hills the tennis court on Ridgewood Road that is part of an 8'/. acre plot (the majority of which is marshland) that was donated to the City of Arden Hills. I The following are proposed points for incorporation into a lease agreement: .. 1. 5 year term of lease. 2. Lease would automatically renew unless either party gives written notice of I cancellation at least 12 months prior to end of 5 year term. 3. A token amount would be paid by AH #3 for the lease the intent of which is to transfer liability from the City of Arden Hills to AH #3. 1 4. AH #3 will improve and maintain the leased property as required for recreational use by AH #3 members only. 5. In addition AH #3 will maintain the approach area to the tennis court. 1 6. AH #3 will maintain appropriate insurance on this property. We look forward to an opportunity to discuss the above mentioned points and any I concerns, comments, or suggestions the city council may have regarding a lease agreement on the tennis court property. 1 Sincerely, I j I WI1 d1~M Todd A.
