MINUTES <br />Parks & Recreation Commission <br />June 1, 1995 <br />the property before it is put up for sale to the general <br />public. <br />Remerowski stated that the Commission looked at the land <br />tonight as part of their tour of the parks. Sanders stated <br />that it would be nice to place a trail around the wetland in <br />the area since it is very scenic. Johnson felt that it <br />would not be used very much since it is mainly a commercial <br />area. Sanders stated that the people working in the area <br />would use it. Remerowski stated that the Commission could <br />look into a trail around the wetland, but if it doesn't <br />happen, it doesn't happen. He stated that the trail would <br />serve few residents. <br />Sanders stated that the Commission could ask for a trail <br />easement on the two parcels. Holm stated that the trail <br />could be connected to the Water Works trail. <br />Remerowski felt that the Commission should not buy the land, <br />but when the land is developed, the Commission could look <br />into obtaining access around the pond through land <br />dedication. Holm suggested the possibility of the St. Paul <br />Board of Water Commissioners deeding over access around the <br />wetland to the City before the sale of the property. <br />Remerowski felt that could be a hang up on the sale of the <br />property. Remerowski felt that it could be sufficient to <br />just run the trail on the east side of the wetland without <br />having to go around it. He felt that this would provide a <br />connection from the Water Works trail to Country Drive. <br />Sanders felt that deeding the access over to the City was <br />not a bad idea. <br />Johnson recommended not purchasing the two parcels from the <br />St. Paul Board of Water Commissioners. However, when the <br />land is developed, the Commission would like to consider <br />obtaining access around the wetland through land dedication <br />or the Commission would be interested in working with the <br />St. Paul Board of Water Commissioners to possibly have <br />access around the wetland deeded over to the City. <br />Motion seconded by Doolittle. <br />Motion carried 7 - 0. <br />It was felt that the City Administrator should contact the <br />St. Paul Board of Water Commissioners to make them aware of <br />the Commission's discussion on the property. <br />TOILET Sanders presented three drawings of proposed portable <br />SCREENING toilet screenings for Pioneer Park. The first drawing <br />showed the screening with wood walls, the second was <br />constructed of concrete block to match the park building, <br />Page 7 <br />
