TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Jackson Kinn I---- Director of Co unity Development
DATE: July 23, 2009
RE: Approve Accepting Land on the East Side of South Westhaven Drive, South
of 2485 Westhaven Court for Park Purposes
BACKGROUND
Midwest Real Estate Development Co. wishes to donate a 1.56 acre parcel on the east side of
South Westhaven Drive to the City for park and recreational purposes. The lot is part of the
Country Side Estates Subdivision, which was created in 1990. Since the subdivision's creation,
the owner has been unsuccessful in their attempt to sell the lot for residential purposes and now
would like to donate the lot to the City for park purposes.
ANALYSIS
The property is located adjacent to Abbey Park and is in the floodplain and floodway and
contains significant areas of wetlands along Sawyer Creek making it difficult to develop.
Accepting the lot for expansion of Abbey Park would not appear detrimental to the residential
land uses in the immediate area. The Parks Director has reviewed this request and if approved,
would recommend leaving the property in its natural state for the time being as a conservation
area.
FISCAL IMPACT
If accepted by the City, the property would no longer be on the tax rolls. Based on an assessed
value of $6,200, taxes are minimal at $150 which should not adversely affect the overall tax base
of the City and there is increased benefit to the City of expanding existing park and recreational
facilities which is a recommendation in the City's Comprehensive Plan.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommended approval and at its July 7, 2009 meeting, the Plan Commission approved
accepting the property for park purposes. The Parks Advisory Board also unanimously approved
of the land acceptance at its July 13, 2009 meeting.
Approved,
City Manager
ITEM: ACCEPT LAND DEDICATION FOR 1.56 ACRE PARCEL OF LAND (LOT
16 COUNTRY SIDE ESTATES) LOCATED ALONG WESTHAVEN DRIVE
SOUTH OF 2485 WESTHAVEN COURT
Plan Commission meeting of July 7, 2009
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant /Owner: Midwest Real Estate Development Co., Inc.
Actions Requested:
The applicant requests the City to accept the dedication of a 1.56 acre parcel of land located along
Westhaven Drive.
Property Location and Background Information:
The subject property was created as part of the Country Side Estates subdivision that was approved
in 1990. Country Side Estates contains 16 buildable lots lying on the east side of Westhaven Drive
starting at Sawyer Creek in the south and ending at Witzel Avenue on the north. The 15 other lots
have long been developed with single family homes.
The subject property is entirely located in the floodplain (100 year and floodway) and contains
significant areas of wetlands along Sawyer Creek.
Midwest has consistently tried to sell the property since its creation, however, the presence of the
floodplain and the difficulty of developing in the floodplain and ongoing insurance requirements,
have not generated much interest and Midwest is proposing to "gift" the land to the City for park
purposes.
The subject property is located in residential area with single family uses to the north, south, and
east and multiple family uses (apartment) to the west.
Abbey Park, which is a neighborhood park, is located adjacent to the south across Sawyer Creek
and contains approximately 9 acres located on both sides (5 on west, 4 on east) of Westhaven
Drive.

ANALYSIS
Accepting the land and incorporating it into the broader Abbey Park to the south would not appear
to be detrimental to the residential land use in the area or change the established residential
character of the area. The Parks Director has looked at the land and feels that leaving it in a
natural state for some type of future conservation area or part of a broader nature trail would be the
best use of the land as there are improved park facilities to the south.
Given the difficulties imposed by the natural conditions (floodplain and wetlands) and the fact that
the land has not been developed since the subdivision creation in 1990, staff feels accepting the
land for park purposes is appropriate.
RECOMMENDATION /CONDITIONS
The Department of Community Development recommends acceptance of the land as requested.
The Plan Commission approved of the land acceptance as requested. The following is the Plan
Commission's discussion on this item.
Mr. Burich stated this lot was created in 1990 as part of the Country Side Estates
Subdivision. The owner has not been able to sell the lot due to floodplain and wetland
issues and now would like to donate the lot to the City for expansion of Abbey Park.
Motion by Nollenberger to move acceptance of the lot for park purposes.
Seconded by Borsuk. Motion carried 9 -0

Re: Lot 16 Countryside Estates
Dear Darryn:
In the early 1990's our company started to develop the land located on the southeast and southwest corner
of Witzel Avenue and S. Westhaven Drive. This is the last parcel remaining however, with the floodplain
issues we have been unsuccessful in our attempt to develop or sell it.
With our Country Park Apartments and the small city park located across the street from the lot we felt it
could be better utilized by the city for an additional park.
With that said, we seek the City's approval for accepting the lot as a donation from our company. I have
enclosed an appraisal that I had done in March by Kargus Appraisals that shows a value of $90,000.00.
Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in obtaining the necessary approvals for our donation.
Sincerely,
e,
