<br />February 10, 20000 <br /> <br />Mr. J. March <br />City Administrator <br />City of Centerville <br />1880 Main St. <br />Centerville, MN 55038 <br /> <br />Subject: <br /> <br />Public Works Property Purchase <br />Parcel's 23.31.22.23.0005,23.31.22.23.0006,23.31.22.23.0007, <br />23.31.22.23.0009,23.31.22.23.0010 and 23.31.22.23.0014 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. March; <br /> <br />The Church of S1. Genevieve would like to submit an offer to purchase the Public Works <br />Property identified in the above parcel's. The Church of St. Genevieve has short term and <br />long term plans for the property. With the continual growth of the surrounding <br />communities, we have seen an increase in participation in our Parish. Accordingly, <br />parking during masses and Church activities has become an increasing problem. It would <br />be our intention to initially use the property as parking space as needed. The Church of <br />St. Genevieve has begun the initial process of long term planning for the future of the <br />Parish. This has included retaining an architect firm to do a preliminary study on the <br />surrounding community and projected needs of our Parish. Nothing has been decided at <br />this time but it is apparent the facilities will be inadequate as they are to fulfill the <br />requirements of the community. The St. Paul Archdiocese has stringent guidelines in <br />Church facilities and open areas. It is a priority that any property and facilities be <br />environmentally friendly to blend in with the community. We have not prepared any <br />drawings or sketches at this time due to the early stages of our planning. They will be <br />shared as our planning continues. <br /> <br />We understand that the Church would be responsible for the demolition of the Public <br />Works building. We also understand the City of Centerville has not done any soil testing <br />of the site nor investigations into other hazardous materials contained on the site. <br />Accordingly, our offer is contingent upon further review of these conditions. <br /> <br />Our offer is for $25,000 payable upon closing. Please feel free to address any questions to <br />the undersigned. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~d~ <br /> <br />Andrew A. Melcher <br />St. Genevieve Parish Council, Chair <br />651-464-7525 <br />
