Also <br />as Lund's are not convenient. It is <br />What else can you put there? <br />end why you would want to put. the <br />not put-the townhouses along Silver <br />Olson said he can't do it. <br />Seward said 300 cars going in and out of two entrances is a lot. <br />Gunderman asked how much of the pond is needed for water <br />storage. <br />Olson said it hasn't. been engineered yet - it may have to be <br />bigger. <br />Seward asked if there will be a storage tank for drinking water. <br />Olson said there would be one. <br />Johnson asked what the price of the homes would be. <br />Olson said about $200,000-$225,000. <br />Gunderman asked what-would be done if the Park Board chose the <br />money over the land. <br />Johnson stated that the land being offered for the park is not <br />conducive to the existing park. <br />Olson-said if 3 acres were taken away - the development couldn't <br />be done. <br />Johnson said full use of land has always been the Park Board's <br />policy. <br />Anderson said we take land that we .have alternatives with. <br />Don't want the portion with water - it is a liability. The area <br />is tight for your development but feel the residents would be <br />better served by other land. <br />Johnson said the land you are dedicating as park land is not <br />ideal for a park. <br />Olson said that this is a first - didn't think you would be <br />opposed to getting land with water. <br />Johnson suggested taking the park dedication money and applying <br />it to the community center. <br />Anderson said his suggestion would be to take two acres south of <br />the park and take the rest in cash. <br />
