The purpose would be to continue the successful <br />commercial/industrial development that began with the Business Park 95 venture, as <br />Business Park is nearly built-out. In addition, acquisition of this land allows the City to <br />determine exactly how the property develops. One concept that has been discussed as <br />part of the commercial/industrial land development is the integration of a par 3, nine-hole <br />golf course. Mr. Boos explained that the west and northwest portions of the Waste <br />Management site are dotted with wetlands and mature oaks, therefore, difficult or cost <br />prohibitive to develop in a traditional way. Also, portions of the north part of this same <br />160-acre parcel are governed by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) rules, <br />which limit the placement of buildings and associated infrastructure - but do not preclude <br />park or golf course purposes. On January 14, 1999, the Park and Recreation Commission <br />unanimously recommended the City Council order a feasibility study for the golf course <br />concept. The park portion of the 1999 General Fund budget provides the monies <br />necessary under the professional services line item. Mr. Boos informed the Committee <br />that on March 2, 1999, the Mayor and staff met with MPCA staff to discuss City receipt <br />of the land north and south of the future Sunwood Drive, status of the groundwater <br />treatment, the golf course concept and the possibility of a fireworks display on top of the <br /> <br />Finance Committee/May 11, 1999 <br /> Page 3 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
