The Wall Lake City Council is seeking public input on a proposed housing addition for the community. According to Clerk, Chris Rodman, officials are investigating three potential sites for the expansion. One of those sites is the baseball field on the west side of town. Rodman says there are several aspects of the property that make it an attractive option.
Rodman adds the overall cost of the project would also be significantly lower with less than 500 feet of road to be constructed. The East Sac County (ESC) Community School District currently owns the ballfield, but early indications are that they would be willing to sell the unused diamond at a significantly reduced price compared to the other two properties the council is considering. City officials understand that some residents may be opposed to the field being replaced by residential lots, and Rodman encourages individuals with concerns about this possibility to make them known to city leaders.

A cost estimate for the addition is not yet available, but he says it will be higher than many people expect once the price of land purchases, road construction, infrastructure installation and other various factors are tallied. Rodman says this is not a moneymaking venture for the city. Rather, it is an opportunity to see the community continue to expand and develop.
As it stands, the council does not have a timeline for when lots would be available for purchase or even where the lots will be. Once city officials reach an agreement with landowners, the council will need to hold public hearings to complete the purchase. Then, the land will need to be annexed within city limits and additional hearings will be required before the city can borrow the required funds. Rodman says residents should expect to see the proposed development plans on the agenda into 2022.
