(612) 755-5100 REGULAR PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES July 10, 1986 The regularly scheduled meeting of the Andover Park and Recreation Commission was called to order by Chairman Kinkade at 7:30 p.m. at Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard N.W. Andover, Minnesota. MEMBERS PRESENT: ALSO PRESENT: Kinkade, McMullen, Strootman, Sabel M. Magnuson, Larry Audette, Tom Audette, Jr., Chuck Cook, Esther Olson, Frank Stone APPROVAL OF MINUTES MOTION by McMullen, seconded by Strootman to approve the minutes. Motion carried unanimously. SOD FARMING AT FOREST MEADOWS Discussion: Agreement Mr. Magnuson had with Pat Lindquist, former City Clerk was discussed. They had agreement that he could farm sod at Forest Meadows. The current park board was not aware of this agreement and have plans for development of this park. Chairman Kinkade said this was against Ordinance 46--removing plant materials from park. Mr. Magnuson said that this land was a swamp area and he has done extensive work on this land, clearing field, ditching, draining, etc. Chairman Kinkade stated that they wished to have sod left for soccer field for Fall league and did not want Mr. Magnuson to remove the sod this year. MOTION by McMullen, seconded by Sabel to request the city council to allow M.Magnuson to use a triangular shaped piece of property at Forest Meadows park (southeast of ditch line) as shown on attached map as #1 for sod farming, at least through September 1987. In exchange, he will mow park property when accessible. He will reseed this piece of property in September of 1987 if at that time his request for the legal exchange of land in the next motion is not approved. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Strootman, seconded by Sabel to request the city council to allow the legal exchange of a triangular shaped piece of property at Forest Meadows park (southeast of ditch line as shown on attached map as #1), for the piece of property M. Magnuson owns of equivalent square acreage (as shown on the attached map as #2). This will be beneficial to the park department because it will allow maintenance of the ditch by M. Magnuson for the park and it will make the park more useful by squaring off the soccer field. .~ u o Page Two July 10, 1986 ~ , / FOREST MEADOWS PARK-UPDATE The Audettes have graded the park and plan to seed in August.
