		<description>Quick fix/ a bad idea: the domino effect of selling park land is one issue...but the dominant issue is that all the land at the end of the Park Point (Minnesota Point) and the beaches rolling out to the seawall -lakeside-  were given to Duluth by the state for public use; public recreation back in 1939...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;Said conveyance shall be made upon the condition that the city of Duluth shall use said land for the purpose of public recreation and public health and the facilities provided on said land shall be open on equal terms to all persons whether residents Duluth or elsewhere, and that title and said lands shall be entitled to take possession thereof upon breach of aforesaid conditions&quot;...&quot; for the establishment and maintenance of a public park&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Considering condo or residential development on any portion of that land specifically given by the state to Duluth for &quot;public recreation&quot; as falls under the the legal conveyance and any use of a portion for other than public recreation suggests that the land as defined in the conveyance, could be returned to the state. Yes, it&#039;s a complicated can of worms*, and neither a practical nor viable alternative to get Duluth out of debt.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;* Can of worms of past abuse: airport development for commercial purposes on &quot;Conveyance&quot; land given for public recreation...&quot;equal terms to all persons&quot;...plus the old growth forest has been abused by periodic cutting of trees for runway development etc. (&quot;maintenance?&quot;)...plus add an Indian burial ground unmaintained also?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This may be one lawlerly playgound that may not add but empty the city&#039;s frugal pockets?</description>
