Mr. Mike Hartner, Director of Parks & Forestry gave an update regarding a |
|
parcel that was originally nominated for green space in 2006. The owner, Mr. |
|
George Karas, has recently made it known that he is interested in selling the |
|
parcel which is located off Walton Boulevard west of Adams Road. It is long and |
|
narrow and borders a Consumers Power easement between two subdivisions. |
|
In 2006, GSAB scored the parcel, but did not make a recommendation for |
|
acquisition and the utility easement did not come into account at that time. Mr. |
|
Hartner has contacted Lansing and discovered Consumers Power would be |
|
interested in allowing the City to construct a bike path trail on top of their |
|
easement, which would be approximately one mile through an active residential |
|
area giving it possible value as open space. |
