CITY LAND

‘It's park’
says Clark

SPONTANEOUS APPLAUSE
residents attending Monday’s meeting of North
City Council

erupted when

learned that the

undeveloped parcel of park land they live near will
not become residential property.

Ald. Rod Clark broke the
ule that had formed at last
week’s meeting (when he was
absent) and voted to keep the
land, less than an acre, zoned
for park use.

The land, located between
22nd and 23rd Streets and
between Grand Boulevard
and Ridgeway Avenue, was
part of a parcel purchased tn
1912 for future park use. In
an attempt to consolidate
odd bits of park land in the
mid 1970s, council purchased
more residential land for
park, intending that this pro-
perty would be given over for
residential use.

Ald John Braithwaite and
Frank Marcino, who were on
council at the time, were in
favor of the *“Shousekeeping’’
re-zoning of the land, which
could be divided into seven
lots and sold for about
$500,000. City planning had
apparently been done on the
basis of this expected
revenue. Mayor Jack Loucks
sided with Braithwane and
Marcino.

Ald. Stella Jo Dean led the
attack on the proposed re-
zoning, calling the procedure
‘“ammoral’’ in light of the

fact that the 1912 council had
gone to plebiscite to get per-
mission to borrow about
$34,000 for the purchase of
the land. She said that the
couneil of the day had plann-
ed on a ‘‘green belt’’ on the
ermimeter of the City.

Dean said that ...- 434,000

translated into $3 million in
today’s dollars, far higher
than the expected revenue
from the sale of the land.

Ald. Ralph Halli and Dana
Taylor were also against the
rezoning. Ald. Clark, who
had not listened to any lobby-
ing, butshad watched the
Cable 10 tape of last week's
well-attended debate, decided
that ‘‘park land 1s nof for sale

_ and in my awew this is park
land.”’
