, , �INUTES OF THE PARK COMMISSION MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 4, 1991 <br /> SEWER PLANT PROPERTY — CONT. <br /> Vongries asked, if the post office is to remain on the <br /> Crystal Bay �ite, what happens to the park behind it? He felt <br /> that the park is separate and �hould remain even if the current <br /> facility property is sold for development. <br /> Gerhardson noted an option of the post office to be moved to <br /> the current Council Chamber site and the post office property be <br /> included with the future of the current facility site. <br /> Wilson noted that Mayor Peterson had mention that a public <br /> meeting would be held for public input on the development of the <br /> Crystal Bay site. <br /> Chair Flint asked if that meeting was to be held by the <br /> Council or the Planning Commi�sion, and should there be a pub7ic <br /> hearing for both the Crystal Bay site and the sewer pond site. <br /> Bradley asked if the Crystal Bay site would also have to be <br /> purchased for park purpo�es. He also asked if the post office <br /> was moved, would the City purcha�e the park behind it and pay the <br /> money to the park fund for that land. <br /> Johnston felt that there would be no need for a hearing for <br /> the sewer pond property as the value is set at $275, 000 and there <br /> is less than that in the park dedication fund. He noted that <br /> they couldn' t buy it if they wanted it. <br /> Chair Flint noted that the flyer included $184, 000 from the <br /> sale of City owned properties — total . The breakdown was <br /> $150, 000 for the sewer pond and $34, 500 for the Crystal Bay site. <br /> Gerhardson noted it originally started out as the amount in <br /> the appraisal , but after discussions with the former City <br /> Administrator, it was noted that if there was interest in keeping <br /> all or part of the land for a park, the dollar amount would be <br /> less. He felt that there was no formula for how that dollar <br /> amount was arrived at. <br /> Chair Flint noted that they could buy the land for $150, 000, <br /> do the study and sell off part of the land for development. <br /> Wilson felt that the Council wants part of this land as <br /> park, but are in a situation where they need a certain number of <br /> dollars for the proposed facility. <br /> Johnston noted that after viewing the property again, he is <br /> not nearly as impressed with the property as before. He noted <br /> that the elements that the Commission is interested in saving <br /> would be saved regardless and felt that the concept sketches <br /> prepared by staff looked reasonable. <br /> Wilson noted that some of those sketches dea7t with filling <br /> the pond, which could not be done. <br /> 4 <br />
