Could the children of Senoia
soon have a new place to play after school?
The City Council listened Monday
night as resident Jan Boal once again offered to sell the city a .46-acre
lot at the intersection of Seavy and Barnes Street.
"It's been talked
about for years about turning this lot into a park," Boal said.
The lot also features the Baggarly
cabin, which was saved from demolition several years ago by Walter Baggarly,
who bought the historic structure and then said it to Boal.
Boal said they are currently
attempting to sell the cabin to another party, so any deal with the city
would only include the lot.
He added he had really not
tried to sell the property to anyone else, and if the city was not interested,
he would probably hold on to it as an investment.
When asked if he considered
donating the property to the city, Boal just shook his head.
"We're not as wealthy
as some people, and that's really not an option," he said.
While no purchase price was
mentioned Monday, Boal said he would be glad to show the City Council
in private how he assessed the value of the property.
The City Council took no action
on the proposal.
