recreational area and that noncompliance with this provision or any
of the conditions in the deed shall result in title to the property
reverting to the United States at its option.
In @,qovember of 1975, the juvenile detention home bililding was moved
from the Municipal Center to a site located at the end of Recreation
Drive, tlie City was, subsequently, advised by representatives of the
Department of the Tnterior that the use of this property for a juv-
enile detention home was a violation of the recreational covenants
of the deed for the property.
The City Mana@er further stated that he made a proposal to place the
federal recreation restrictions on a park site located in Eureka Park
in exchange for releasing these restrictions from the one-quarter acre
site on which the juvenile detention home is located.
Representatives of the Department of the Interior agreed to this pro-
posal and have prepared a deed of excliange for the transaction. The
deed has been executed by the appropriate agent of tlle federal @-overnment
and has been approved as to form by the Citv Attorney.

a commercial area of 5.874 acres, for a total acreage of 190.868.
Since that time, they have sold off the commercial area, and con-
sequently, in the application coming before Council today, the land
area is 185 acres. Mr. Williams stated that they were doing the
original plan, however, Council amended the original plan by requesting
a 80-foot buffer, and because of that 80-foot buffer the red(iction in

In November of 1975, the juvenile detention home building was moved
from the Municipal Center to a site located at the end of Recreation
Drive. The City was advised by representatives of the Department of
the Interior that the use of this property for a juvenile detention
home was a violation of the recreational covenants of the deed for
the property.
The City Manager made a proposal to place the federal recreation
restrictions on a park site located in Eureka Park in exchange
for releasing these restrictions from the one-quarter acre site on
which the juvenile detention home is located.
Therefore, City Council voted to authorize the City Manager to
execute the necessary deed to place the federal recreation re-
strictions on a park site located in Eureka Park in exchange for
releasing the restrictions from the one-quarter acre site on which
