INDIAN MEADOWS 4TH ADDITION SKETCH PLAN
(J
The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the park dedication for the
(sketch plan) unplatted portion of Indian Meadows (also known as Andover
West - the original preliminary plat). Bachman is willing to dedicate Lot 1,
Block 7 which will be used as the park/main parking lot to Kelsey, thus gaining
access to County Road 20. City council has given Bachman approval to plat
these lots without building a street or developing the property.
The remaining 8.1 acres Bachman is offering for dedication is an open area,
not as desirable for park land.
The commission would like to acquire Lot 9, Block 7 because it contains the
beaver pond and would compliment the other areas of the park. Bachman
indicated he would be receptive to selling the property. It is hoped that further
negotiations will nurture a solution favorable to the park board to acquire not
only Lot 1 Block 7 and 8.1 acres offered, but Lot 9, Block 7 as well.
Mr. Starr suggested that as an alternative to purchasing Lot 9, Block 7, a pond
at the 153rd Lane entry could possibly be dug out of the swampy area where it
once existed. Black dirt could be used at any of the parks. The
commissioners appeared to favor the natural pond area of Lot 9, Block 7.
Chairperson Kieffer invited the commissioners as well as Bill Sanders,
~) consultant, to meet at Kelsey-Round Lake Park on Saturday, February 9, 1991

at 9 a.m. They will complete a walking tour of the area to discuss possible park
plan development.
CITY HALL PARK COMPLEX LIGHTING
The commission feels that lighting would be advantageous in scheduling of
teams and maintenance of the area. However, the estimated cost may prohibit
installation of lighting. More examples of field lighting/cost will be explored by
Mr. Starr and Commissioner Paulson.
CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
