<br />CITY OF NEW BRIGHTON <br /> <br />Agenda Section: <br /> <br />BEQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION <br /> <br />Report Number: <br />12/4/90 <br /> <br />Report Date: <br /> <br />ITEM DESCRIPTION: DEVELOPMENT OF DRIVING RANGE ON MILLER PROPERTY <br /> <br />DEPT. HEAD'S APPROVAL: <br /> <br />N/A <br /> <br />MANAGER'S REVIEW/RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br />No comments to supplement this report <br /> <br />Comments below/attached <br /> <br />EXPLANATION/SUMMARY (attach supplemental sheets as necessary): <br /> <br />The Council has directed staff to prepare a proposal for temporary use <br />of the recently acquired Miller property. The Miller property was <br />acquired in anticipation of redevelopment of the NW quadrant of 1-694 <br />and I-35W. The NW quadrant is one of the redevelopment target sites <br />identified in the Highway 8 Corridor Plan. It also is one of the <br />largest target sites and the most visible. The Miller property is one . <br />of the largest and a key parcel in the quadrant. ownership of this <br />property gives the City control over future development of the area and <br />is a step toward implementation of the Highway 8 Corridor Plan. <br />Ultimately, the plan is to sell the Miller property to a private <br />, developer or business as part of the redevelopment of the NW quadrant. <br />When that. will occur is difficult to predict. It depends on market <br />conditions and the city's ability to control or acquire other properties <br />in the area. It is expected to be at least 5 years before redevelopment <br />of the NW quadrant occurs. The Miller property is vacant land, <br /> <br />continued. . . . . <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />To direct staff to proceed with development of a driving range at the <br />Miller site including: <br /> <br />* Preparing an agreement for site preparation with Shafer <br />Construction <br />* Preparing a final site plan for Planning commission and Council <br />approval <br />* Finalizing operating expenses and revenues for inclusion in the 5 <br />year financial plan <br />* Directing staff to prepare a resolution amending the 1991 budget to <br />authorize expenditures of $63,980 for construction of a golf <br />driving range. <br />* Directing staff to prepare plans and specifications for a miniature <br />golf facility to be constructed in the spring of 1992 <br /> <br />~/4//~d a~~/ <br />/Maurice H.
