Brentwood; Land Trade: Are the two acres worth /acre? Should
the city buy it anyway?
Truo parks on Walton: The deed should be checked before considering
selling the property. Probably the land will revert back to the
donor of the property if we try to Sell it. Perhaps it could be
used for tennis courts or for putting a bend into Lincoln Avenue.
Tini-parks: Councilman Gardner would like us to consider acquiring
two small green areas, one at Redmond and Millif, the other at
Puryear and Dominik.
Land Acquisition: It was explained to the council that we would
Tike to app2 or 50/50 matching funds from the BOR in June in
order to purchase additional park land. Mayor Bravenec said the
council would happily entertain such a proposal; it is unlikely
that the council would initiate it on their own. The Mayor further
suggested that we consider the following land for purchase:
Oaks Park Extension to Dominik, including some of the flat land
along Dominik for playing fields9 and a walkway access from the noihth.
?rentwood area; Al Mayop should make up 3 or 4 plans of land
the city should purchase near dedicated land --such plans should be
considered by PAR.
Ballfields near Rt. 30 on land owned by Tenneco. Perhaps they will
donate some to Little League.
'dahlberq Tract near Southwest Parkway: Extend it9
Councilman Gardner would like a park on the Holik tract at the
extension of new Dexter and new Haines.'
Southwood Valley: should use be considering a park in this area9
