L�� DATE: F'eUruu�y �, ].�1�2 SUBJL�CT: Feaa�.bility of parlc sfte at t1�e norCht�ear Gorner of I�os�lacan Avenu� und Cle��l�nd A��iiuc. The property in questian pronosed �s a potentiai partc �i.te is a p�rcel 2ga feet vy 443 fe�G mt the northc�e�t corner of Rosclac�n and ClevelAnd �,venuaa con8�istin� �f ap�roximut�ly 3 r�crea . �,ocated parCially on Chis site and Che siGe con�i�uous to the �-��yC is 1 pond �ahi.ch £u�ctions �as a st�rm water ponding are� for the i�nmecliat� area. Th� area a�roun�l �l�e pond is parCially ��ooded and woul.d thu� nppear to have obvious potenti�l £o� parlc purpoaes . The �olloc�ing �re �orae r�f the points we su�;�es t to be consid�as�d in deCErminin� tt�e £easibility of this prop��ty �or �artc puxpo3es at thi.s time : 1. �A� shocan on the 31C��C11 immediately �o the ��eat mat�ner �s sh�wn on t-he thes� deve?.opm�n�s have Commiss�one a� the left the properti.es �ha� are �xre proposed tn be developed in a c�rac�in�. Th� preliminary plats L•or been accept�.ci by �he Plannin� r � � f � � 1 -. ��p y�,�� Q� ��G� m�Q�a � �S � �� h�` ts 4`` � �,�� , � 2, Approximmtely t��o-�llird� of th� site i.n que��ion (2 acres) ie cov�red cai.�h coaC�r. Thu� y anly on�: acre of land would in fa�C �Se availab7.e for parl= deve�.opanent until such �ime As the pond�.n� area �cou13 be pei-manently dr�inecl. �he drainin� of �lYis �Sondi.ng area is no� lilcely pvssiUle until such time ns a Fo�:tiior._ of a major sL'o�m secoera�e syatem is �onstructed for �.hi,�s �re€� of the Villa�e �nd Fa�1cQn 1leigh�s . This may be a con�ider�l�].e time in the �uture before this is accomplish�d. 3, It caould appea� tha�. in order �o make a reasonable parlc ou� of the area in question it caould be necessary to acquire �he si�e at the corner plus apgro:�ima�ely 3 acres ot property �o �t;� ;��bt thereb_y crea�in� an area around tihe entire pond. Ev�n if this r��re done a substantial. �rea of �and would not be availalale for deveJ.opm�nt purpoees . Thus, under these conditions, the main purpnse of the �ark wou].d be that of an open space. It is certainly tr�ie that such an open space w�th a pond and t�oodad arer� around wouJ.d be very pleasant aesthe�ically, but i� ��oulci nppear :ha� this is no� tl�e main pZoblem of �hi� particular part of �he ViJ.lage. This particular neighborhood has as you lcnow a substantial open apace to the north �n the form of the Midl�nd �Iills Golf Course. To the south across Roselat��n Avenue there is the University o£ Min� sota Golf Course. Thua, it would appear that tihe provisions for o�en space are not the parti+cular pxoblem in this neighborhood in Che Viliage.
