PUBLIC HEARING FOR PAVLISH PROPERTY PARK LAND AQUISTION
DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCE GRANTS
Introduction
The purpose of this public hearing is to allow citizen input regarding the DNR
Grant Applications for the Pavlish Property acquisition.
Historv
The Trust for Public Land has obtained a purchase agreement for the Pavlish
Property located on Pike Lake. The attached map shows the Pavlish Property
along with nearby City and adjacent parcels. The property is split into two
separate parcels that total 30 acres of which 16 acres is upland non-wetland or
lake.
City Staff believes that the acquisition of this land combined with future
dedication from adjacent properties as they develop could result in a park that
encompasses all of Pike Lake. This park would be 75-100 acres with as much
as 40-50 acres of non-wetland or lake. This park would perform the function of
both a community park and neighborhood park for this area.
Purchase Agreement for the Pavlish Property obtained by the Trust is for
$1,875,000. On December 5, 2006 the City Council authorized City Staff to
work with the Trust to obtain grants to acquire the property for City park land.
The City Council also supported a funding commitment of up to $500,000 by the
City of Prior Lake for the purchase.
Current Circumstances
The Trust has completed grant applications for the DNR's Metro Greenways,
Natural and Scenic Area, and Remediation Fund grants. As part of those
applications the City Council must hold a public hearing to take input.
The Trust's purchase agreement expires in the fall of 2007. The Trust will
need to obtain commitments for $1.375 million in funding by September of
2007.
The grant funds for the acquisition could limit active uses on the property.
Because the City will have the opportunity to acquire adjacent land through
future park land dedication staff feels any active use restrictions on these
parcels can be accommodated on adjacent parcels.
The City of Prior Lake would provide $500,000 for purchase of the property.
The City's contribution would be funded from the Capital Park ($375,000) and
Contingency Funds ($125,000). The following table shows the sources being
pursued for additional funding.
