The Parks and Recreation Committee has expressed a strong desire to acquire a 15.6 acre parcel located on
the southeast comer of the Kelley Trust property. I have attached a rough draft of a letter to be sent to
Kelly Trust. The purpose of the letter is to forward an offer for a 15.6 acre parcel of the available 547
acres which Kelley Trust is expected to put up for sale in the near future.
According to Mr. Tim Dywer of Kelley Trust, the value of this land is $29,000 to $30,000 per acre, or
$452,400 to $468,000. Funds available include a balance of $359,090 in park unprovement funds, a grant
for $50,000, and additional donations of $50,000 from Rosemount Jaycees and USPCI.
The Parks and Recreation Committee is looking at an offer of $200,000 ($100,000 from park improvement
funds, $50,000 from the grant, and $50,000 from other donations) for the parcel in cash, and the remainder
in prededicated acres.
I will discuss this offer in more detail at the meeting.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to authorize an offer of$200,000 for the purchase of a 15.6 acre
� parcel of Kelley Trust property, $100,000 from park improvement funds, $50,000 from the grant, and
$50,000 from other donations.

RE: Offer for 15 acre parcel
Dear Mr. Dwyer,
In a previous meeting, I informed you of the City of Rosemount's interest in acquiring a
15.6 acre parcel of land located in the south portion of your property in Rosemount, east of
Shannon Parkway. This parcel borders two Ciry parks, Carrolls Woods to the south, and
Schwarz Pond to the east. It offers a connect between these two parks, allowing a greater
capacity to serve residents with opporiunities for qualiry passive recreation.
The acquisition is included in the Comprehensive Park Plan and Development Guide for the
Ciry of Rosemount. The combined park would blend natural wooded areas, open grassland
with native prairie remnants, and a beautiful pond. For years to come, this setting would
provide opportunities for passive recreational activities such as walking, nature & wildlife
study, family and individual "quiet space". Other purposes of the park include vegetative
preservation and restoration, and interpretive education.
The purpose of my letter is to present a preliminary offer to Kelly Trust for the purchase of
this parcel. On behalf of the Rosemount City Council, we are prepared to offer $200,000
for such a purchase. In addition, we request the balance of funds needed be accepted in the
form of pre-land dedication.
Please share the above offer and request to your board of directors. I would be happy to
present details of the park plan at your convenience. If you have questions, I can reached at
322-6003.
Thank you for your consideration.
Best regards,
7im Topitzhafer, Director
Rosemount Parks and Recreation
