CITY OF SHAKOPEE MEMORANDUM To: Mayor and City Council Mark McNeill, City Administrator From: Jamie Polley, Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Director Meeting Date: November 3, 2008 Subject: PRAB Recommendation Concerning the Property Adjacent to Huber Park INTRODUCTION The City Council is asked to accept the recommendation from the PRAB regarding the pursuit of the purchase of a parcel of property adjacent to Huber Park or provide staff with further feedback and direction. DISCUSSION The City has been contacted by Kubes Realty regarding the parcel of property just east of Huber Park. This piece of property is currently owned by the Monnens family and is for sale for $119,000. The realtor informed staff that the seller is willing to listen to the City's ideas regarding this piece of property. The piece of property is wooded with high quality woodland and contains a flat area along Bluff St with a very steep slope on the northern half of the property. The wooded area contains a natural spring. Acquisition of this property would add to the size of Huber Park and contains an easement for the Department of Natural Resources Trail. The PRAB discussed the property on August 25, 2008 reviewing an aerial photo, map of the property and a lot description. Staff was directed to obtain further information regarding the property including 1. What improvements need to be made to the property for it to be usable and what is the cost? 2. What are the options for usage and how much is usable? 3. What is the quality of the property? Staff presented further information to the PRAB on October 27, 2008. The additional information answered the PRAB's questions from August 25th. The questions are addressed as follows: 1. In order to make the site usable there is an extensive amount of cleanup needed. The site contains pieces of foundation, an extensive amount of brick, a large concrete tank from the bait shop and invasive species such as buckthorn. Below are a few photos of the site: ~... - -.. --- - - --.,-- . ;'" . "- -I, ~ '1'" ? "" ~.. ~.~ . \\. l "'.. !,~ .' I I The cost for cleanup would be would be high (in the thousands) due to the extensive amount of debris. Fill would have to be brought into the site which may pose a problem because the majority of the site is in the flood plain. It is also unknown what is in the soils of this site. Testing would be necessary to insure quality soils. I I I I I I I I I ---..--------- -._---- --.------.------..-- - - . f- It could be desirable for the City to obtain this property for public use and its historical significance. However, the cleanup is extensive (the City could require the landowner to clean the site before it is purchased) and at this time there is not an immediate need or intended use of the property. Derby Days currently used the flat part of the property for parking during the Derby Days events. BUGDET IMPACT The Park Reserve funds are very low and at this time funds would not be available to purchase property. The proposed 2009-2012 Park Reserve CIP is attached (Attachment B). If the City Council wishes to recommend pursuing the purchase of this property a recommendation for funding options would be necessary. RECOMMENDATION The PRAB was given the following options: 1. Recommend pursuing the acquisition of the property for public use, recommend a Phase 1 environmental assessment be completed and determine funding recommendations. 2. Defer pursuing acquisition of the property until funds are available and assuming the property will still be available. 3. Table the item and provide staff with further direction regarding this item Due to the limited available funding, lack of immediate need for the property and extensive cleanup of the site the PRAB is recommending option No. 2 which is not to pursue the purchase of the property at this time. If Council wishes to pursue the purchase of the property provide staff with further direction and discuss funding options. ACTION REQUESTED The City Council, if concur, accept the recommendation by the PRAB not to pursue the acquisition of the Monnen's property at this time.
