City Manager's 2005 Budget Memo <br />Page 20 of 27 <br />of Woodhill and Western. <br />As reflected on the maps attached, this land is currently undevel- <br />oped. It contains no playground equipment. There are no active use <br />areas such as ballfields. There are no structures on this land. The <br />City continually mows this land, primarily for the aesthetic benefit of <br />a small number of immediate neighbors and those who walk or drive <br />by. I'm suggesting the City as a whole would be better served if we <br />explored selling this land for single family homes. This would be <br />consistent with the Council's desire to attract families with children <br />to Roseville and our Roseville school districts -- whose student en- <br />rollment has declined each of the last nine years. <br />Accordingly, by selling this land, the City: <br />1 Avoids future maintenance expenses, primarily but not entirely <br />the cost to mow and maintain the turf in these areas <br />2 Loses no active use recreation areas <br />3 Still would operate a park system with many acres of publicly- <br />owned passive greenspace as well as active use areas <br />4 Adds families with children to the community thus helping our <br />school districts <br />5 Makes money <br />With residential lot prices possibly ranging from $50,000 to $100,000 <br />per lot, the City could make $500,000 to $1.5 million from such a sale. <br />This money could extinguish the current P&R deficit. In addition, the <br />revenue from these land sales could be separately accounted for and <br />dedicated as a fund whose investment earnings could be restricted to <br />funding Parks and Recreation improvements. <br />Council Action Recommendation #77: Council motion approving <br />[disapproving] a feasibility study for selling the land described <br />
