Neddermeyer:
We would like to keep the area private and having a park would mean a
lot of traffic on our road.
This property could be valuable as apark when Raskob's and the Eisinger
property is developed, plus the fact that a park in the area is a valuable
asset when selling houses presently built.
Is the present park land all right for park use?
Rough piece of ground, needs much work if using for park.
The city should acquire the acre or more along Holy Name Lake that
is owned by Groves.
Could the land be sold to Groves and the money used to develop other
park property?
What would be a fair offer for the property?
$5000 per a re or more, I would want to consult a regal estate agent.

that we do not need city parks?
I'M not against parks but it's not to smart to develop a park in someone's
back yard.
