Lakeville, Minnesota
April 13, 1970
To Lakeville Council:
Gentlemen:
The Parks and Recreation Commission requests that the Maintanence Department be
directed to construe picnic tables and 25 grills to be placed in existing
park areas.
We would like the use of certain maps on the map boards Midwest Planning would
pick these up and make whatever copies they need and return them. They would
also make prints so that the originals could be stored and preserved. Midwest
said that this would expidite their work. Midwest Planning would also like a
list of exsisting' lands owned by the village so that they can consider these in
their findings.
The Commission has been contacted by a land owner who has three 'lots adjoining
the present park on Orchard Lake. He has quoted a price of $12,000.00 apiece
for these lots. He also stated that other land around the lake was going for
higher prices. The Commission feels that without investigation these lots may
be priced a bit high. It is also the feeling of the commission that we would
like to see what Midwest; Planning would suggest in their findings before persuing
this further.
The Commission has sent out several lettersof inquiry regarding land for parks
and to date we have gotten one answer. This landowner stated that he 'would be
back to Lakeville in June and would entertain a bid at that time.
We are also in receipt of notice of resignation from George Rosel,who "stated that
his activities with the Scouts and the fact that he is planning on moving out of
the area felt that he should be replaced. We are in the process of finding a man
to replace him on the board with the council's consent.
Mr. 'Ed Pelach who is on the commission has not been present at several meetings
and the commission feels that perhaps consideration should be forthcoming as to
a replacement.
Midwest Planning's Mr Dunbar feels that early in May he would like to get to-
gether with the commission and all memberd of the council in a joint meeting
to go over the recomendations that they will be making. We will be in com-
munication with Mr Dunbar and will get together with the council to set a date
for this meeting at the d*scretion of the council.
Respe tfully Submitted,
Herb. Lambert, Chairman and acting secretary
