WHEREAS,prior to the construction of Elwood Drive in the early 1970's,Beach Avenue ran from
the ISU campus south to Oakwood Road and out of the City; and,
WHEREAS,when Elwood Drive was completed,Beach Avenue was connected into Elwood Drive
and did not continue south; and,
WHEREAS,a few years later,the platting of Gateway Hills Subdivision created Mortensen Parkway
and Beach Avenue was connected to Mortensen Parkway as a means of limiting the through traffic from the
residential area; and,
WHEREAS, through these changes, the City retained the original right-of-way that provided for
Beach Avenue to go south and connect to Elwood Drive; and,
WHEREAS,in 1993,ISU requested that the City transfer the old right-of-way to them for use in the
Reiman Gardens; and,
WHEREAS,City Council approved the transfer of the land subject to the retention of easements for
the utilities that existed in the area; and,
WHEREAS, currently the City has a water main and an overhead electric line passing through the
area; and,

transfer of the land is now critical.
