C. Nockleby, 2171 St. Croix St. Requested specificdocumentation from Parks and Recreation <br />Director, Lonnie Brokke, of the conversations with the Shannon family about the purchase of the <br />property and what year those conversations took place. <br /> <br />Brokke responded that he met with the Shannon Family personally around the time of the Master <br />Plan process which was during 2010-2012. <br /> <br />Chair Hoag asked C. Nockelby if she would suggest the Commission recommend land or cash to <br />satisfy Park Dedication for Midland Legacy Estates. C. Nockelby stated that she would not suggest <br />either option. <br /> <br />P. Nockleby submitted the same question as C. Nockleby via the Q&A section in Zoom. <br /> <br />Commissioner Stoner noted that the Southwest concept drawings in the June 5, 2020 Parks and <br />Recreation Commission packet were general concepts for all open parcels in the Southwest <br />Roseville area. They were not drawn specifically for this 5 acre site. <br /> <br />Commissioner Baggenstoss asked how many parks are in constellation J. Staff responded that there <br />are not any parks currently in Constellation J. <br /> <br />Commissioner Baggenstoss proposed not suggesting land or cash as both options are undesirable and <br />perhaps the Commission looks at a third option of a non-recommendation to the City Council. <br /> <br />Vice-Chair Dahlstrom relayed that he supported tabling a recommendation at the last meeting. <br />However, a decision needs to be made as not much has changed with the staff and developer <br />working together over the last few weeks. <br /> <br />Commissioner O’Brien agreed that it is difficult to hear that this parcel is being sold for an amount <br />that the city cannot afford. She fully supported tabling the recommendation at the last meeting to <br />wait to see if there was some other option. However, at this point O’Brien supports providing a <br />recommendation as that is what the Commission has been tasked to do. A subsequent <br />recommendation can be made that the Commission feels this is a poor idea. Members of the <br />Commission can also attend the City Council meeting where they are discussing this issue to speak <br />as citizens and Commissioners. However, to just abdicate responsibility is to not have any say in the <br />future park planning at this site. <br /> <br />The Commission discussed the potential options for park land and the options for their <br />recommendation. <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br /> <br />
