The 9.5 acre tax forfeit parcel is for general park use. Callahan said the <br />general feeling is the land would be left as open space until such time as Council is of a <br />differing opinion. <br />Callahan stressed the need for an access easement to this 9.5 acre parcel. An offer for an <br />easement from the church has been received, but Callahan said he does not believe it <br />would serve the need for the land as it would be given with a restriction placed on the <br />usage of the land. If such usage would change, the easement could be withdrawn. He <br />noted the reasons for allowing an easement were too narrowly based. <br />I <br />12
