<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />April 28, 1998 <br /> <br />Page 13 <br /> <br />Council Business . continued <br /> <br />Benke stated that he believed one mistake made when the agreement was developed was <br />that no time constraints were placed on the developer. <br /> <br />Mary Cotroneo, 1827 3rd St., commented that when people drive to watch the activities <br />in the park, they use the one block to park and could cause safety problems with that <br />much activity, especially with young kids involved. She went on to comment that she <br />goes by the St. Anthony courts almost every day, and notices there is not a lot of activity. <br /> <br />Anderson responded that there was a similar situation relative to parking at Hidden Oaks <br />Park; but what could be done for this park is to possibly construct provisions for pull-in <br />parking as is done at Totem Pole park, The area near the bottom of the sliding hill might <br />be used for 15-18 cars without disturbing or endangering the participants <br />sliding or walking on the hill. He noted that if only one court is constructed there should <br />be enough funding available to install a safe and adequate parking area. <br /> <br />Gunderman noted that he recalled the issues discussed with the developer back in the <br />early 1980's and referenced earlier by Dave Swenson, He asked if there was any <br />recourse the City would have with the developer, Anderson responded that he did not <br />think there was anything we could do now because the developer had done what we had <br />requested, even though it did take twenty years. The City did agree on the dollar amount <br />for the construction of the courts and grading. Mr. Cadwallader submitted a check for <br />this amount. Attorney LeFevere reported that he recalled that the deed from the School <br />District was put into escrow with his attorney-it was expected that when he developed <br />the townhouses, the deed would be given to the City. Shortly after this, the townhouse <br />market crashed and none were being build for a number of years, which is what delayed <br />this entire process, LeFevere continued that inasmuch as there were no deadlines on the <br />agreement, the terms were still valid with his later development and was just resolved a <br />few years ago with the buyout agreement. <br /> <br />George Zerby, 1801 3rd St SW, questioned the amount of earned interest on this $35,000 <br />paid in 1995, He also noted that he was disappointed with the staking out of the tennis <br />courts because it was his understanding from previous meetings that both a single court <br />and a second court would be staked; and inasmuch as only one court was staked, there is <br />still a questions as to room for a second and how much grading would be required, He <br />went on to note that he was a proponent of keeping a soccer field, but it was determined <br />at the meeting to have two tennis courts, therefore, he would support it as that was the <br />choice of the majority. <br /> <br />Lanning Gabatino, 1614 3rd St. SW, noted that he was not aware of any studies being <br />done to determine if a court would be used more in one area than in another, nor have <br />any costs been estimated for placing the second court in any specific area, In view of <br />this, he did not believe that a determination should be made at this time to only build one <br />court. <br /> <br />Fulton advised that he believed the interest could be used for this project. He would <br />research this with the Finance Director because it has not an established policy. <br /> <br />Council Business <br /> <br />Tennis Courts for <br />Silver Oaks Park <br />Report No, 98-098 <br />
