In this process the City obtained approximately 3 acres for park land: . 1 acre purchased by City . 1 acre given by School District . 1 acre given by developer At that time, the zoning was changed: . 3 acres remained R-1 . 2.3 acres R-3 . 1 .99 acres B-3 . .96 acre B-1 3. The Developer purchased the remaining approximately 5 acres and attempted to develop the parcels. 4, In 1993, the Developer sold the property to Roseville Lutheran Church, The Church then made a proposal to the City and eventually reached agreement on the exchange Of land at Bruce Russell Park. The exchange included: . City received 2.3 acres at Lexington and B in exchange for 2.3 acres at Bruce Russell. . City received .96 acre from Roseville Lutheran as part of park dedication. . This resulted in a 1,96-acre park at Bruce Russell and a 6.26-acre park at B and Lexington (original 3 acres of park land, 2.3 exchanged and .96 dedicated) . The City purchased the remaining 1.99 acres from Roseville Lutheran Church with the final determination on its usage to be determined at a future date. 5.

As a part of this revision process, the discussions began on how the land at Lexington and B should be used to its best and fullest extent.
