ATTN: CONTRA COSTA COUNTY SANITARY DISTRICT BOARD MEMBERS
SUBJECT: Statement of Interest Regarding the Kiewit Parcel
PHMSA is interested in leasing the District owned parcel (APN 159 - 140 -051)
commonly referred to as the Kiewit Parcel. This property is approximately 33
acres in size and located between Grayson and Walnut Creeks, north of
Highway 4, and directly adjacent to Imhoff Drive.
Nationwide there is a documented shortage of quality youth athletic fields and
locally in our community this problem is acute. Simply stated Pleasant Hill
and Martinez are built -out and value of land excludes us and our mission to
develop and deliver the highest quality youth soccer program in a fun, family
based environment. If PHMSA is to continue to deliver youth soccer we need
to lease additional property to establish suitable youth athletic fields. Initial
estimates indicate that we would be interested in approximately 6 -10 acres,
depending on site conditions, cost, and other constraints.
Please consider this request to develop youth athletic fields on part of the
Kiewit parcel and provide appropriate direction to staff in regard to this
m tter. Thank you
