RE: Bloomstone Park Land Purchase
Dear Mr. Poncin,
Bloomstone Subdivision preliminary plat has been approved by City Council. This 86.2 acre
subdivision located on Section 36 will be a residential subdivision with 569 proposed units. Part
of the conditions is that the developer will furnish in lieu of park funding for a neighborhood
park. Kidsports is an athletic complex for kids sports and not a park where neighborhood
children and families are encouraged to use playgrounds, picnic shelters, walk pets, ride bikes,
etc. There is acreage north of Bloomstone and south of the proposed bypass, that the City is
interested in purchasing a 99 year lease or a permanent easement for a neighborhood park. The
City requests your assistance in moving this process forward on approximately 11 acres.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
es H. Patrick
City Manager
