VILLAGE OF SPRING PARK
SPRING PARK, MINNESOTA
FRBRUARY 21, 1973
TO: Honorable Mayor, Councilmen,,and Planning Commission
FROM: Building Inspector
SUBJECT: Recommendations for Village of Spring Park Skating Park.
We now,at present have written -.documentation of authorization for
useage-of the land on which..0 6'"South .end of our skating rink now
encoaches. However, if this property were to -change ownership we
may stand the possibility of losing the useage of this property
and also would have to` madifythe facility that we now have in use,,,
Therefore, I would like to propose, if it would be feasible, that
the Village approach the owners of.both lots 2 & 3 and try to ac-
quire anc.additional 35,ft-. to the South. This would provide for
the facility -as it-now-stands,,and additional ground to modify the
slope to provide for a more.;comfortable maintenance factor- cutt-
ing, planting -of trees, shrubs,et'c,. Or, if -possible, a base of
long duration for which maintenance stipulations would be incurred
by the Village of Spring Parka The_loig range developement of
this area could well mean use of this facility throughout the en-
tire year, such as tennis courts, basketball courts, badminton,
horse shoe,and a community park for all in the area to use as a
picnic ground. The future plan can well be adapted for this use -
age and also become a beauty -spot of this wonderful and unique
community.
I would like to request a registered land survey of record, for
this property, to go on file at the Village Office.
And due to the fact that the rink in itself could be considered
a:'sttucture, a side yard variance of 4 ft. be granted for documen-
tation for files and a variance of front yard be granted to permit
the allowance of the North end of the rink to be on or near the
property line at the street of Park Lane.
Attached, the speds and plat plan of the site. I'm at your con-
venience to answer_any questions you may have about this project.
Respectfully,
Dept. of Inspections
