December 30, 1987 <br />To: <br />From: <br />Re: <br />New Brighton Park Board <br />Maurice H. Anders~ector of Parks and Recreation <br />Harstad Companies/Pecks Woods <br />The city, in March of 1983, received a petition from residents in <br />the Pecks Woods/North Innsbruck area requesting park development <br />in their area. Attached are reports, minutes, etc. that <br />chronicle the events following submission of the petition. <br />The land in question has recently been purchased by Harstad <br />Companies and they have indicated that they are planning <br />development of portions of the site in 1988. <br />This is one of the largest remaining undeveloped tracts of land <br />in the city and it is staff's. opinion that this tract should be <br />planned as a unit and that some recreational amenities should be <br />included in the development. The city has two parks in the area; <br />Freedom, and Hidden Oaks, however access to both parks is <br />somewhat. limited. The city also owns 4 acres of land in this <br />area, no use has ever been defined for this property. <br />Ken Briggs has been invited to meet with staff and to attend the <br />Park Board meeting; to date he has not contacted staff. The Park <br />Board should be prepared to work with Mr. Briggs to formulate a <br />plan that will satisfy park needs for residents of this area. <br />
