Attached are reports, minutes, etc. that <br />z <br />o chronicle the events following submission of the. petition. <br />Q <br />o 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 />J <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 s ome 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 />z <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 />Q Board should be prepared to work with Mr. Briggs to formulate a <br />w plan that will satisfy park needs for residents of this area. <br />0 <br />z <br />0 <br />a <br />W <br />W <br />0 <br />z <br />a <br />Y <br />Q <br />~• <br />
