Sheehy Land Donation Ms. Lien explained that Mr. Cy Sheehy is willing to donate land located in the Industrial Park area just behind Goetz Landscape and Northern Forest Products between 20 and 21' Avenues to the City. It is currently a 20 -acre parcel in which Mr. Sheehy would like to donate 15 -acres of. As indicated in Mr. March's Week in Review, if the City obtained this 15- acres, we would have the future trail linkage area secured to traverse, and would be consistent with the long -term trail plan to connect to the City of Hugo. The property has a high potential for recreational uses, and could also be a site for a future water tower. In addition, a local business owner has expressed his interest in purchasing or renting a portion of this property from the City, if we accept the proposed donation. This was presented to the Parks and Recreation Committee for informational purposes only at this time. Capitol Improvement Projects Discussed previously. Ground Development Concept Plan The committee discussed the proposed Ground Development Concept Plan for the property located just south of the Center Oaks Development.
