Purchase prices for the City Council slated to go into closed session Monday to discuss potential purchase prices as planning of facility using future sales tax funds continues.

ROCHESTER — Privately owned land on Rochester's south and northwest sides are among the sites being considered for a $65 million regional sports and recreation complex.

In all, three potential locations for the complex will be on the drawing board for the Rochester City Council when it meets in a closed session on Monday.

The council is slated to review potential purchase prices of the properties under consideration.

One of the sites in Monday's review is on a portion of nearly 300 acres of farmland currently owned by Seneca Foods Corp. The land, near the south-side Shoppes on Main commercial development, includes three parcels east of St. Bridget Road, with portions on each side of 45th Street Southeast.

The northwest Rochester location being considered is part of the former IBM campus, which is a nearly 430-acre parcel owned by Rochester West Campus LLC. The property owner has already submitted a request to subdivide the parcel into four parts.

The third location being discussed sits outside the city, west of the Valleyhigh Road and 60th Avenue roundabout. The land, in Kalmar Township, includes nearly 210 acres made up of three separate parcels. The site could require purchases from two property owners — 75th AZ LLC and the Badger Trust.

The city has been working to identify 75 to 90 acres for the development of the proposed complex to provide space for regional sporting events and local recreational activities.

“As we get into the specifics of the layout and all that kind of stuff, there is opportunity for that number to go up or down, but that is still within what we are seeking,” Assistant City Administrator Ryan Yetzer said of the land requirements.

The current sports and recreation complex recommendation calls for the creation of a 125,000-square-foot indoor facility on the property, with space for 12 multi-use turf fields for football, soccer or lacrosse, as well as 12 dedicated outdoor pickleball courts and other amenities on the outdoor portion of the complex.

The three areas being considered involve parcels, or a combination of parcels, that all exceed the needs for the complex, which will be built using $65 million from the recently approved local sales tax extension.

Yetzer said any city purchase would be expected to include a subdivision of the existing sites.

The site discussions are being held as other work continues on the project.

The Rochester City Council recently approved a nearly $180,000 operations and programming services agreement with Oak View Group/Sports Academy to help support the designs and construction phases of the project.

Deputy City Administrator Aaron Parrish said Monday’s discussion of property prices isn’t expected to land on one specific location and all three could remain in play as the city continues to look at engineering and other site development costs that would need to be considered for each site.

While he’s not participating in the closed session, Parrish said the council will be asked to provide guidance based on anticipated costs for purchasing land at each site. The closed-door discussion is slated to occur at the end of Monday’s study session, which will start at 3:30 p.m. in the Rochester Public Utilities Community Room, 4000 E. River Road NE.

Yetzer said the timeline for potential site selection remains uncertain at this point.

“I think we need to see how Monday’s conversation goes, and that will inform a lot of that,” he said.
