Committee recommends accepting Peterson family donation of parcel south of Grahl Park
Summary
Jeff Peterson asked the Committee to accept a parcel south of Grahl Park; members noted the property lies in the Weather Shield pond flood plain, which limits development. The Committee recommended Council accept the donation.
The Medford City Committee of the Whole on Jan. 12 recommended that the City Council accept a donation of a parcel south of Grahl Park offered by the Peterson family. Jeff Peterson raised the request and the Committee discussed development constraints because the parcel lies in the Weather Shield pond flood plain.
Committee members said private contractors had considered apartment construction on the land but that the flood-plain status limits buildable options. The Committee voted to recommend Council accept the donation; the minutes record the motion as carried with all ayes.
The item will be forwarded to the full City Council for final action; the minutes do not specify the parcel size, survey details, or conditions attached to the donation.
