City of Centerville Parks & Recreation Committee February 5, 2014 3. City Sale of 7212 Mill Road At the previous meeting, the property located at 7212 Mill Road was brought to the attention of the committee that this property was for sale by the City of Centerville. There have been maps where it is designated as park property, but through staff research no references have been found that it was designated as park land. After further research, Committee Member Seeley informed the committee members that she reviewed the Met Council Comprehensive Plan from 2010 through 2030 which was submitted in 2007 and can be found on the City Website. She found five (5) references to this address: page 24 Parks & Trails map; page 31 Existing Growth Management Plan; page 44 "the policy of the city of CV to encourage & accept land gifts & forfeitures in area with potential recreational development opportunities "; page 58 Future Land Use Plan; page 70 the first paragraph, last sentence: "two small parks have not been developed at this time, Mill Road and Cedar Street. She also researched the Anoka County data base and found the legal description o£ "Petersons Old Homestead Addition, Lot 4, Block 2 ", PIN #143122430013 and also the date acquired by the City of Centerville was September 13, 1971. Mr. Palzer mentioned a cost of $600.00 regarding this property. During the meeting Committee Member Amundsen looked in the Centerville Surface Water Management Plan for the City of Centerville, 2030 Future Land Use Plan which shows this parcel as park land. It also shows an easement from the cul de sac to this property; a committee member mentioned he was told that this easement was to be a trail to access this property. Figure 7 V:\ 1938 active \193802237 \GIS\Projects\2030flu mxd. This plan was published in August of 2012 by Stantec. The Committee members agreed they would like to look at the original deed, review the City Council minutes from 1971 and any other pertinent documentation. The concern is: was it the intent of the previous owners that this was to be future park property and possibly was deeded incorrectly? Motion was made by Committee Member Seeley, seconded by Vice Chairperson Grahek to recommend to the City Council to request that further research be done on the property at 7212 Mill Road and for the Committee to be provided with a copy of the deed dated 9- 13 -71, with any other documentation associated with the acquisition of this parcel by the Citv of Centerville. Any minutes from previous City Council meetings referencing the property on Mill Road prior to the acquisition would be helpful in determining the intent at the time this property changed ownership All in favor. Motion passed. Page 5 of 7
