11. BE I E HILLS PLAT
Mr. Don Brauer of Brauer & Associates reviewed with the Board Breemar
'ills Plat. Mr. Brauer pointed out to the Board the concept of this plat
i9as to retain as much of the natural topography and trees that are now
present. In order to retain this natural contour, the suggested plan was
that the Village trade with Mr. Roy. Peterson certain parcels of land. Mr.
Peterson would deed to the Village the top of the 160 foot hill directly
north of Braemar Park and access to the hill from the Park, approximately
ten acres of the Tamarac Swamp, outlots 5 end 7 of Creek Valley Addition,
and dredging of a drainage pond. The 7illage would deed to Mr. Peterson
the ten acres that sit on the northeast border of Braemar. Park.
Many members of the Park Board felt that the top of the hi * 11 'that
would be deeded to the Village would be of little use to the Park and create
Simaintenance headaches."
Mr. Roy Peterson, developer, commented that be would be willing to
dedicate outlots 5 and 7 of Creek Valley Addition, the Tamarac Swamp, and
also dredge the pond if he did not deed the top of the hill to the Village.
'The Village would deed approximitely one acre of the northeast corner of
Braerner Park to complete Mr. Peterson"s plat.
Mr. Giebink- moved that we accept Mr. Peterson's proposal where the
Village receives outlots 5 and 7 of Creek Valley Addition, the Tamarac
Swamp, and the dredged pond. In return Mr. Peterson would keep the hill
and approximately one acre of the northeast co--ner of Braemar. MT. Adams
seconded and the motion carried.

The totpl amount og money estjwate4 for land would be $280,000. It
was the sub -committee's feeling that one-baif of this movey could come from
a Federal Government grant and that the other one-half from other Village
sources. The committee also felt that no decision was needed at this time
as to what the actual form of development should be.

Associates for a land usage study of the Mud Lake area.
