LCMR Grant, Kelley Prairie Acquisition CITY OF ROSEMOUNT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 20, 1996 AGENDA ITEM: LCMR Grant, Kelley Prairie Acquisition AGENDA SECTION: Old Business PREPARED BY: Jim Topitzhofer, Parks and Recreation and AGENDA NO. Community Center Director. ITEM # 5 c ATTACHMENTS: Map of Acquisition APPROVED BY: In response from City Council direction last Council meeting to investigate a proposal for LCMR funding, I have prepared the following summary to acquire a portion of the Kelley property for purposes of prairie restoration and preservation. Uses of this park include environmental education, passive recreation, conservation, and preservation. This proposal is linked with previously awarded funding from the Outdoor Recreation Grant in the amount of $50,000. The prairie acquisition is outlined in the Comprehensive Park Plan and Development Guide. It is proposed to acquire 15 acres of Kelley property adjacent to Carrolls Woods and Schwarz Pond. The parcel is bordered by Williams Pipeline (and Koch Pipeline) to the North. In addition to acquiring land from Kelley Trust, a contractor would restore the prairie area to its natural state and aggregate trails would be constructed to access the area. A budget summary follows: LCMR Funding Park Dedication Outdoor Recreation Total Funding Funding Grant Funding Land Acquisition $300,000 $100,000 $50,000 $450,000 Prairie Restoration $54,000 0 0 $54,000 Trail Construction $20,000 0 0 $20,000 Total $374,000 $100,000 $50,000 $524,000 The recommended procedure for restoring prairie land is to burn the area annually for several years and to burn every 3 to 5 years thereafter. I have requested Williams Pipeline and Koch Pipeline to respond to the feasibility of burning near a pipeline. I am requesting feedback and direction from City Council to proceed with a two page request for proposal, required by LCMR by February 23, 1995. RECOMMENDED ACTION: MOTION TO PROCEED WITH REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL WITH THE STATED CRITERIA FOR LCMR FUNDING OF THE KELLEY PRAIRIE ACQUISITION. COUNCIL ACTION: ITEM 17 • . • . • • • . . - . . . - ..\ .
