Currently, he plans to subdivide his property to create seven new buildable lots <br />MENT for single family homes. His property encompasses several acres of wetland, much of which <br />CONCEPT is relatively dry. He described his desire to donate an easement from the cul-de-sac to the <br />wetland, and would also like to donate the wetland to the city for a future walking trail. He <br />indicated that the property is beautiful with large pines and birch trees. Additionally, the <br />property is filled with wildlife such as deer and fox. He stated that he has lived there for 35 <br />years and is very familiar with the property. He mentioned that most of the wetland is dry and <br />he has taken several soil borings to prove thaC fact, but it is designated by the DNR as wetland <br />so he cannot build upon it. <br />Johnson stated that his property is just south of the power line trail. All that would be needed <br />for access to the power line trail is an easement from the Miranda family. Additionally, he felt <br />the property owners to the south will eventually develop their property. When development <br />occurs, a connection could possibly be made to Lake Gervais. This would create a beautiful <br />trail through the wetland and wildlife areas. <br />Page 1 of 4 <br />
