EN HILLS <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: May 10, 2010 Item 1.B <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members <br /> FROM: Patrick Klaers, City Administrator <br /> SUBJECT: Hazelnut Park <br /> On Thursday May 6th I met with Trinity Lutheran Church representatives Pat Nygaard <br /> and Mille Bruss to discuss the Park and Church properties. I then met with City staff <br /> members to update them on this meeting. <br /> The City uses Church property for signage, access, parking and a soccer field. The City <br /> pays the Church a small amount for snow plowing (and general use of their land) and the <br /> City does some minimal maintenance on the parking lot. The Church would now like for <br /> the City to consider purchasing some of their excess land and to enter into a long term <br /> use agreement for the parking lot. It seems to be in the City's best interest to resolve this <br /> situation for the long term. <br /> The Church is providing us with an appraisal that they recently had completed. Staff is <br /> looking at access, parking, park usage, and funding options. The Church is scheduled to <br /> be at the July 19th City Council work session. I would like to briefly talk with the City <br /> Council about the merit of getting a more long term arrangement set up with the Church <br /> and about sending some material to FPAC for their review and comment. <br />
