Fahey COUNCIL Jim LaValIe Matt Anderson Rick Montour Bill Blesener ADMINISTRATOR Joel R. Hanson Per the Council's direction, staff is attaching the pertinent minutes relative to the discussion of a park charge for the new Frattalone complex off of Spruce Street. The minutes that are enclosed are as follows: ➢ Council Meeting of 11/22/97 ➢ Park Commission of 6/28/01. • Council Workshop of 7/25/01. ➢ Council Meeting of 7 /25/01. Also enclosed are two diagrams depicting the easement /trail situation. The first is from the materials associated with St. Paul Regional Water System's subdivision of the property. You will note we asked for a 15 -foot trail easement within the 30- wetland setback. The second is a site plan from the Frattalone project that gives a perspective of the trail alignment. My perspective on this matter is as follows: 1. A 15 -foot easement was requested from SPRWS relative to the current Blacktern Office Park and Frattalone Excavating sites. 2. The Blacktern site dedicated a 30 -foot easement versus the requested 15 -foot easement requested to make it easier to describe the easement area. Given that no buildings could be located within the 30 -foot area and that the path was to "meander" through this easement, dedicating 30 feet did not negatively impact the site. 3. Buildings were required to be setback 50 feet for the wetland per Ramsey /Washington Metro Watershed District requirements. 4. Mr. Frattalone dedicated a 30 -Coot easement on the site he purchased from SPRWS to fulfill that requirement. (I believe 30 feet was dedicated versus 15 feet for the same reason as listed in #2 above.) 5. We did ask for a 30 -foot easement from Mr. Frattalone at the Council meeting of 7.25.01. 6. We also asked for a 30 -foot easement from the former Pioneer Cabinet property that had not been part of any earlier property division proceedings. (It was part of the Frattalone PUD approval process.)
