5. Anderson Masonry Request RecommendationIncorporated 1892 Telephone (406) 752-6600 FAX (406) 752-6639 Post Office Box 1997 Zip 59903-1997 TO: Bruce Williams, City Manager FROM: Michael Baker, C.L.P. Director, Parks & Recr�atio RE: Anderson - Woodland Park Recommendations DATE: October 20 , 1995 Bruce, I have had the opportunity to review the proposals from Anderson Masonry Inc. It is my recommendation to reject the initial proposal of selling off the major portion of the North East corner of Woodland Park. However, I feel we can come to a mutual agreement to sell Anderson a portion of the property enabling him to complete his desirable project while keeping the character an integrity of the park intact. Specifically, the desirable option would be to make available to the Andersons the point of land that bisects the two Anderson properties and borders Woodland Park Drive. In addition, I would recommend that a portion of the property, South and East of the park bench located on the overlook be made available to the Andersons with the intent that an easement or trade to keep intact the uninterrupted safe access to Conrad Complex across Woodland Park Drive. I feel it is essential for the City to preserve, promote developed park land, green belts and recreation facilities. In this case, we have a unique opportunity to enhance our North Eastern boundary of Woodland Park. Keeping in mind, preserving of our access to Conrad Complex, the overlook, and a vegetative buffer between the park and Andersons. Although, number of details need to be worked through the general concept has a win, win possibility for both parties. I am enclosing a site plan to orientate you to the preferred option. If you have any further concerns, please contact me. Douglas Rauthe Mayor Bruce Williams City Manager City Council Members: Gary W.
