PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION – DEPARTMENT OF FACILITIES MANAGEMENT – APPROVAL AND ACCEPTANCE OF PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR THE ACQUISITION OF 186 -- ACRES FOR EXPANSION OF INDEPENDENCE OAKS COUNTY PARK The Parks and Recreatio n and Commission and Facilities Management are seeking approval and acceptance of a purchase agreement to acquire a 186 -acre parcel for expansion of the Independence Oaks County Park. The property includes a 4,406-square foot main house, an 819-square foo t guest house, a 2,465-square foot older farmhouse, a 760-square foot rental home and a 31-acre lake. The purchase price of this property is $2,836,000. On January 17, 2008, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners adopted Miscellaneous Resolution #08009 to receive a grant representing 42 percent of the acquisition cost of this property through a Michigan Natural Resources Land Trust Fund Agreement. The remaining 58 percent of the cost of this property will come from a Department of Natural Resources Land Trust Fund Grant. Because this is a land trust fund project, the County, as the acquiring agency, is responsible for paying the sellers’ expenses for property transfer, and the County is obligated to do that by virtue of the grant; therefore, the total project cost is $2,983,690. Mr. Stencil indicated that the acquisition of this property would help facilitate trail connectivity as part of the County-wide trail program called Oak Roots, which is a trail program for Oakland County.
