They are proposing a tier of land uses: 1. Commercial along Highway 7 2. Medium /high density adjacent to and south of commercial consisting of multiple housing to act as a buffer between commercial and residential. 3. Single family lots of approximately 20,000 square feet.. Mr. Uban mentioned an intersection onto Highway 7, approximately where "Broms Market" is now and a collector road running along the western edge of the property and curving to meet Covington Road at the Southwest corner of the property. Proposed Park Facilities Mr. Uban agreed to a connecting trail system. An area just under 5 acres was proposed for parkland. This included development proposing a small ballfield, 2 tennis courts, and a depressed hockey rink (filled with sand and used for volleyball during the summer). Commission discussed approximate population increase considering Trivesco at 600, Near Mountain at IDu, auu Covington Vine Ridge at 200; a total of 1550 new residents. Commissioner Lindstrom pointed out that the Comprehensive Plan requests 10 to 15 acres for a park. Commission discussed the possibility of the cooperation of Trivesco, Covington Vine Ridge, and Near Mountain, with the idea of one large park. The Wallace Dayton property was mentioned as a good site. Planner Nielsen will be meeting with Mr. Dayton. He will discuss the issue with him and let the commission know how he reacts. P PARK COMMISSION MINUTES MONDAY, APRIL 2, 1984 page three PROPOSED PARK — TRIVESCO Planner Brad Nielsen told Commission that he had talked to Mr. Wallace Dayton about the possibility of using his property as a park. Brad said Mr. Dayton liked the idea of having his land used as a park, but that he would expect to be paid for the land. Brad referred Mr. Steiner of Trivesco to Mr. Dayton. Planner Nielsen has talked to both Mr. Steiner and John Uban from Trivesco. They feel that they have extended themselves about as far as they can with the three parcels they've bought and would prefer to have the City purchase the property. Commissioner Carl stated that he felt the fewer people involved in dealing with Mr. Dayton at this time, the better it would be and suggested that the Park Commission keep out of it for the present and allow Planner Nielsen to deal with Mr. Dayton, as he has already met with him. Commission asked Planner Nielsen to find out: 1. What Mr. Dayton's land is worth and how much he wants for it. 2. If there is any chance of Trivesco buying it. 3. Approximately how much will there be in dedication fees from Trivesco, Covington Vine Ridge, and Near Mountain. 4. Would Mr. Dayton consider a Contract for Deed, and if so, for how long. After they receive this information the Commission will have a better idea of how to approach the situation, depending on the price and terms. Commission wondered, in terms of development fees, how fast things would progress. Planner Nielsen said he felt that two issues could spur development, 1) the intersection, and 2) water. Planner Nielsen said Mr. Dayton will be out of the country for about a month. He will write a letter to him so it will be there when he arrives home. He wants to run the issue through Council to get their permission to negotiate. CITY OF SHDREWOOD PARK COMMISSION MEETING MONDAY, MAY 21, 1984 DAYTON PROPERTY The Park Commission asked staff to ask Planner Nielsen to keep the Park commission informed in writing regarding the Dayton n:gotiations. s ° CITY OF SHOREWOOD PARK COMMISSION MEETING MONDAY, JUNE 18, 1984 TRIVESCO Commission questioned why there haven't been more dealings with Mr. Dayton. Council Liaison Tad Shaw reported that Council approved the Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment to include graphics showing uses. This will be forwarded to Met Council for approval. Tad said the question is: How much money is available? He said there will be specific instructions given to Planner Nielsen at the next Council meeting. The Commission feels that the Park issue with Trivesco has not been resolved because of incompleted negotiations. They want 10+ acres of land as recommended in the Comprehensive Plan. No formal recommendation will be given by the Park Commission at this time relating to Trivesco. The present plans are not acceptable.
