Overlay Map of Leased Areas

Below is a map that shows the July 2015 proposal from WLA.  This is the most recent proposal.  On this map you can see the two areas of McDermott Park that are under consideration.  The area surrounded by the red dotted line is the area that is subject to the new 50 year lease agreement.

The yellow dotted lines surround the area that is the subject of the 2005 lease agreement that runs for 30 years.  There is much more to this 2005 lease agreement.

The city wrote the 2005 lease in return for an easement across the northern portion of WLA's property.  The city needed this easement because land in McDermott Park was to be used for a treatment plant.  The lease went into effect June 1, 2005.  By July 1, 2005, the city had abandoned the McDermott Park treatment plan.  Yes, one month after the effective date, the easement was no longer needed.  For that the city gave up 30 yrs of rights to this 1 acre of McDermott Park.  You can read more on this time period by clicking here.
