n4� <br />b'. <br />December 14, 1987 <br />t <br />TO: Jim Andre <br />L <br />FROM: Bob Bierscheid <br />RE: Reconsideration of Ladyslipper Park Land Acquisition <br />As requested by the City of Roseville Planning Commission, the Park and <br />Recreation Board reviewed the earlier recommendation not to acquire seven <br />acres of land that had been designated for future park land adjacent to <br />Lady slipper Park. At their December 7, 1987 meeting, the Park and Recreation <br />, <br />Board did reconsider the proposal for the City to purchase this property. The <br />Board unanimously recommended to reaffirm the original position not to acquire <br />this property for these reasons: <br />ti <br />1. Access to this land for recreational use would be difficult. <br />2. The neighbors wanted no active recreational use in this area. <br />3. It would be difficult to maintain and supervise trails in this area. <br />4. Concerns over losing the canoe channel could be alleviated through <br />other means and not require access from the East side. <br />5. Over. 70% of this parcel will remain in its natural state because of <br />the Minnesota Wetlands Protection Act, thus saving the City thousands <br />of dollars for acquisition for land that must remain in its present <br />state. <br />After review of comments -from staff and the Park and Recreation Board, it is my <br />° recommendation, as Director of Parks and Recreation, that the City Council not <br />purchase this parcel of land. <br />d. <br />s <br />�4 <br />i2 <br />
