TO: MAYOR D OF DIRECTORS 206 FROM: TO D 0 C SUBJECT: ThAK LOOP PARKLAND PURCHASE DATE: MAY 25, 1988 BOARD ACTION RECOMMENDED: Approval of a resolution aut orizing the purchase of 25 acres of land for the purpose of developing a park and improving drainage at the Taylor Loop Park site. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The need for a park site at Taylor Loop Creek was identified in the Master Parks Plan. In 1984, 25 acres were purchased for park, right -of -way, and drainage purposes. Since then, a land trade has resulted in adding an additional acre of land to the site. City staff has recently negotiated an agreement with Kelton I. Brown to purchase 25 additional acres of land for $210,000. The agreement includes a provision to trade 3 acres of the previously purchased land in exchange for Mr. Brown's commitment to provide the following services: (1) A street to enter the park, (2) 850 feet of standard curbs and gutters, and (3) all required drainage and rerouted stream work. Funds for this transaction are available in the following accounts: $160,000 - Taylor Loop Bond Issue Account $ 30,000 - Drainage Account 2110 -8670 $ 20,000 - Taylor Loop Bond Drainage Account $210,000 Total A sketch of the above property is attached, along with the drainage floodway requirements for the two creeks. Development in the area is increasing rapidly. It is urgent that the City acquire lands it needs now to avoid drainage expenses in the future and to develop the Taylor Loop Community Park. It is anticipated that some additional trades and acquisitions will be recommended by staff as negotiations with adjacent property owners proceed.
