Berkowitz, Director of Public Works/City Engineer])D.b FROM: Todd J. Haas, Assistant Public Works Director SUBJECT: j.a Consider Anoka County Park Property/Round Lake Boat Landing - Engineering DATE: August 18,2011 INTRODUCTION This item is in regards to the Anoka County Park Property located on Round Lake on the east side of the lake near the boat landing. DISCUSSION Attached is a drawing identifYing property that is currently owned by City and Anoka County along the east side of Round Lake Boulevard. As you can see by the drawing, the city owns the property (boat landing) between the two Anoka County parcels. The property on the south side of the boat landing is unbuildable due to the lake and wetlands covering most of the property. The 2 properties on the north side have a frontage road that is currently maintained by the county. The boat landing area is maintained by the city. Both of these properties are wetlands for the most part and are unbuildable. Staff is bringing this forward to see what should be done to avoid both governmental agencies having to maintain the boat landing and frontage road. Staff has been in contact with Anoka County to discuss this. At this point, the county has indicated that either the county or the city should have ownership of all 4 parcels (which includes the city owned property). The last discussion that city staff has had with the county is that they have suggested if this were to happen, they would prefer the city take ownership of the county parcels. By taking ownership of theses parcels it will add to maintenance of the entire access to Round Lake. Ifthe Park Commission agrees with recommending ownership of the parcels, this will need to be presented to the City Council for their consideration. ACTION REOUIRED The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to considered if the three Anoka County parcels should be city owned or not.
