8. Discussion on the sale of the Goose Lake lotCITY OF SCANDIA
SUMMARY OF DEVELOPABLE CITY -OWNED PARCELS NOT BEING UTILIZED AS PARKS
3.65 acres — Olinda Lane N — lot between 21710 and 21750
This lot was acquired by New Scandia Township as a condition of approving the Hawkinson Highlands
subdivision. Prior to the development of this subdivision, the Township owned an outlot adjacent to the
property to be platted. The development agreement provided for the transfer of the outlot to the
developer in exchange for one of the new lots created by the subdivision with the condition that the lot
remain as open space for a period of five years after conveyance
There was some opposition to the sale of the Township's land to the developer, which neighboring
property owners viewed as park land. The minutes of the Township Board meeting of December 4, 1990
indicate that the intent was not to restrict the lot for park use, but to allow the Town to sell it as a
buildable lot in the future should it ever become necessary. The agreement with the developer required
the Township to share the development costs for the new lot.

At your April meeting, the Committee requested that staff research the status of the city -owned lot on
Goose Lake (Lot 9, Block 1, Hawkinson Highlands.)
It appears that this lot is buildable for a single family home. It is zoned "SFE", Single Family Estate,
and is within the Shoreland Overlay District for Goose Lake. The City Assessor estimates its market
value at $227,500 (2008.)
This lot was acquired by New Scandia Township as a condition of approving the Hawkinson
Highlands subdivision. Prior to the development of this subdivision, the Township owned an outlot
adjacent to the property to be platted. The Township sold the outlot to the developer, who included
them in his plat, in return for receiving one of the new lots created by the subdivision. There was
some opposition to the sale of the Township's land to the developer, which neighboring property
owners viewed as park land.
The minutes of the Town Board meeting of December 4, 1990 indicate that the intent was not to
restrict the lot for park use, but to allow the Town to sell it as a buildable lot in the future should it ever
become necessary. The agreement with the developer required the Town to share the development
costs for the new lot. The development contract for the subdivision required that the conveyance of
the lot to the Town would be subject to a condition that the lot remain as open space for a period of
five years. The written record is not clear, but it appears that the lot satisfied the Town's park
dedication requirements.

December 4, 1990
On the avbove date New Scandia Town Board held a special
meeting at 6:30 p.m. to dicuss the land exchange between
New Scandia Township and Howard Hawkinson for his proposed plat
on Goose Lake. Members present from the board were: Russell
Jackson, Beverly Pratt, Kenneth Ostlund, Charles Nordin and
Kevin Nickelson. Residents present from Olinda Lane were:
Mike Arndt, Greg Adams, Lee Goodyear, Ray Burris and Earl
Coleman.
Mr. Ostlund spoke regarding the land sale of Outlot E
on Goose Lake. He stated Howard and Audrey Hawkinson owned
the land next to the parcel which was owned by the township
and the board would have not acted any differently regarding
the sale of the property even if someone else had owned
the parcel next to the township's parcel. Mr. Ostlund
stated the reason the town acquired the land was for future
development and the board and members of the planning commission
knew the Hawkinson land would be developed in years to come.
Mr. Ostlund expressed his concern if residents on Olinda Lane
would want a piece of public park land in a residential area.
Mr. Nickelson stated if the property was for future development
this was not in the minutes when Goose Lake Woods was platted.
Mr. Goodyear requested that the deed for Outlot E should
specify that this piece of property is park land. There
was discussion of problems with noise and parties if
this would be designated as park. Mr. Adams informed the
board there have been no problems in the 12 or 13 years
since this was deeded to the township.
The Parks Committee could view this property and decide what
it should be used for. Mr. Nickelson stated this could be
open space and used for wildlife.
Mr. David Hebert Township Attorney informed the board if it
is stated on the deed as park property this would be hard
to change if this would ever become necessary. It was agreed
this parcel should be a buildable lot if this would need
to be disposed of in years to come. The restriction of open
spaces for Outlot E could be in the development agreement
and this matter could be reviewed in 15 years. The lines
drawn for this parcel equal 3.8 acres and 1. 4 acres of this
parcel in the water.
Nordin made a motion to accept Mr. Howard Hawkinsonsagreement
to offer to amend the purchase agreement for Outlot E of
Goose Lake Woods Plat. This shall provide for the proposed
land exchange and the lot the township shall own will be
buildable. The land shall be conveyed to Mr. Hawkinson
and then be reconveyed to the township when the plat is
recorded. With restrictions on the development agreement
and the deed. Nickelson seconded and adopted.
Pratt made a motin to adjourn the meeting. Ostlund seconded
and adopted.
