MINUTES <br />Parks & Recreation Commission <br />August 4, 1994 <br />developed, the Commission will look at obtaining an easement <br />at that time. Wehrle stated that he would not want to run a <br />trail through Mr. Heinel's farming operation. He stated <br />that nothing would be recommended to the Council on the NSP <br />power line trail at this time. <br />Mr. Hoelscher stated that he chose the lot for his home <br />specifically because of the extra space under the power <br />lines. He indicated that NSP does not own that land. <br />Mr. Hoelscher purchased that land from NSP. He stressed <br />that he did not want to let go of any of his property. <br />Wehrle stated that the Commission respects Mr. Hoelscher's <br />wishes pertaining to his land. <br />Mr. Durand suggested that the Commission look at running the <br />trail down Payne Avenue to LaBore Road. He felt that even <br />if the trail was added under the power lines, the street <br />would still get more use than the trail. He stated that the <br />kids are not using the trail east of Payne Avenue now. <br />Mr. Durand felt it would make more sense to run the trail <br />down Payne Avenue to LaBore Road. He felt that LaBore Road <br />east of Edgerton Street could be striped for pedestrians. <br />He stated that it is striped west of Edgerton Street. He <br />commented that he sees the kids on the street every day when <br />he bikes. Wehrle indicated that he would not want the <br />children on LaBore Road since it is so busy. <br />Wehrle stated that he is concerned about the community as a <br />whole. Remerowski stated that everyone gets affected <br />somehow by developments. He indicated that the Commission <br />was willing to consider any ideas that are submitted for the <br />trail. <br />Mrs. Hoelscher was concerned that the trail could go in <br />without their knowledge. Remerowski stated that the trail <br />would not be installed without their knowledge. Mr. Durand <br />stated that Public Works was in his yard pounding stakes and <br />he had no knowledge about it. Wehrle stated that Public <br />Works was directed to stake NSP's property only. <br />Richard Heinel expressed concern with a trail under the <br />power lines since so much negative publicity has been heard <br />about the hazard of power lines. Mrs. Durand stated that <br />she grew up on Centerville Road with two NSP towers in her <br />backyard. She stated that she climbed one once, got stuck <br />and her father had to rescue her. Wehrle stated that their <br />concerns with the towers were valid. <br />Donald Heinel stated that as a taxpayer, he did not want the <br />City of Little Canada to increase its liability. Wehrle <br />stated that he understands his concern. However, if the <br />City was too concerned with liability, there would be no <br />-5- <br />
