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