DISCUSS PROPERTY AT 14440 ROUND LAKE BOULEVARD NW Assistant Public Works Director Todd Haas reviewed this is an update in regard to the property at 14440 Round Lake Boulevard NW. Staff was recently contacted by a family member of the property owner in regards to the parcel that may become available on the market with a few months. The family wanted to let the City know that the property owner is interested in possibly selling the property and they wanted to know what interest the City has in the property. Staff has not discussed the value of the property. In the past, the Park Commission has expressed interest in having some park/open space around the ® lake somewhat similar to what has been done around the Chain of Lakes in Minneapolis. Staff did let the family member know that the Park Commission is possibly exploring the idea of park/open space but it was going to take some time to evaluate and to determine the feasibility and to prepare a plan if that is the direction the City takes. No action is necessary as this is for information purposes only. This lot is not conducive to city water and sewer at this time. Commissioner Stenzel stated he liked the parcel and the adjacent parcel owned by the County is considered wetland. Commissioner Miskowiec suggested possibly the City obtain an easement. Commissioner Lindahl stated there is a house on the lot at this time. Commissioner Lindahl stated an easement may be difficult as their driveway is only 33 feet. Commissioner Stenzel asked Mr. Haas to provide a contour map of the area. Mr. Haas will provide a contour and right -of -way map to the Commission.
