CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, MAY 1, 1995 NEW BUSINESS JOYCE LUND TRAIL: Marty read the memo that John and Joyce Lund sent to Mary Kay Wyland. They referenced the donated land on the 32 feet on the westerly side of the creek at 480 Arrowhead Drive, as a possible trail site connecting the southerly trail and Shenandoah Park on the north side of Arrowhead Drive. Marty then read the green sheet that was prepared for the board. He said this would be an excellent trail location because it would be located directly across the street from Shenandoah Park. The only existing trail access off of the Park Grove Development to Arrowhead Drive is about a quarter mile to the east via the old Fox Trail stub. When the trail was initially installed, running along the south side of the houses on the south side of Arrowhead Drive, people were using the Lund Property for access to the park and we had to install a fence to discourage encroachment. It was Marty's opinion that this would be a good trail connection to acquire. He continued by saying they have met with the Rice Creek Watershed on the site and it was discussed that the culvert extension would be needed for this extension would be allowed, that it would not exceed the 400 square feet allowable fill, and that a letter and simple sketch would be needed for approval. He then asked the board to see Michael Krech's memo on the costs for this work. He stated that there would also be costs for grading and rocking the trail in. He felt the cost should not exceed $500. He then showed the property, ditch, building setback and culvert location on an overhead. Marty then introduced John and Joyce Lund. Joyce told the Park Board the history of the development and explained why Parcel A and B are divided the way they are. Marty recommended to acquire the Lund property by donation. Use Dedicated Park Dollars to accotiplish legal and mechanical work. Ken asked if the approximate cost of this work would be between $4000 and $4500. Marty responded yes. Ken asked if it would be a problem to get the money from the Dedicated Park Fund. Marty didn't think it would be a problem. Ken also asked if it was high or low land. Marty said it was generally high land except where the culvert was. Ken then asked if there would be a problem extending the culvert. Marty said Kate Drury looked at it and she didn't feel it exceeded the 400 foot requirement
