MINUTES <br />Parks & Recreation Commission <br />June 2, 1994 <br />Remerowski asked if County Road E would impact the site. <br />Pardee felt there would be no impact since there are many <br />stops and most people would take the freeway. <br />Pratt assured the Commission that they do not want to <br />disturb any natural berm in the area. <br />Wehrle recommended standing on the original recommendation <br />of cash in lieu of land for the park dedication relative to <br />the Twin Lake Pines' development. However, he would want to <br />review the development agreement pertaining to the use of <br />Outlot "A" within Little Canada. Wehrle stated that <br />originally the Commission had been looking at relocating <br />trees that would be removed due to the development, but the <br />trees in the area are fairly mature. <br />Sanders asked if the by-laws will address the trees along <br />the lakeshore. Pratt stated that they would address those <br />trees and he wants to leave the vegetation alone as much as <br />possible without restricting the homeowners too much. <br />Pratt stated that the outlot in Little Canada will be a <br />quiet park for the homeowners with by-laws and a homeowners' <br />association to control its use. <br />TRAILS & Wehrle stated that he views sidewalks as not necessarily <br />SIDEWALKS recreational entities, but more of a service entity for the <br />residents. Trails are more recreational. Sanders agreed <br />especially in the Lakeshore/Old Co. Rd. C situation since <br />much of the pedestrian traffic would be going to the <br />convenience store. <br />Remerowski felt that the question of the need for sidewalks <br />on heavily-traveled streets through residential areas should <br />be included in the community survey. He felt that the <br />residents should decide. Wehrle stated that he would rather <br />see the survey address trails in relationship to our Master <br />Plan of the parks. <br />Sanders felt that a trail is needed on the west side of <br />Jackson Street with a connection to Australian to get the <br />kids to school and the playground. Wehrle agreed. <br />Wehrle asked Sanders for a recommendation on the type of <br />trail for the Jackson Street area. Sanders felt an eight <br />foot bituminous trail would be best. Wehrle stated that the <br />Public Works Superintendent has stated that bituminous <br />trails are harder to maintain and also it may have to be <br />shoveled in the winter time. Wehrle felt that those <br />questions would stem from demand once the trail was in <br />place. Wehrle felt that concrete is cost prohibitive for <br />Little Canada. <br />-4- <br />
