AGENDA ITEM 5A STAFF ORIGINATOR: Marty Asleson DATE: December 6, 1994 TOPIC: Living Waters Lutheran Church Request to Reconsider Park Dedication BACKGROUND Pastor Kendrick came before the Park Board on Monday, December 5, 1994 with the following proposal. Please find attached a copy of the letter received from the Living Waters Lutheran Church requesting the reconsideration of their former park dedication agreement. Pastor Wayne Kendrick, and parishioner Ted Erkanbrak recently met with Jon Powell, Mary Kay Wyland and myself to discuss the concerns that are listed in this letter. I also enclosed the original Park Board proposal and the minutes of that meeting. The original park and trail dedication agreement for this subdivision called for a trail along Birch Street and a dedicated linear park trail along the north side of the development traveling from the west to the east, connecting into Country Lakes Estates and ultimately Country Lakes Park. The trail along Reshenau Lake was requested as a dedication in lieu of a $10,000 cash dedication. The Church is requesting the revisiting of this dedication for the trail (park dedication) along Reshenau Lake. As is stated in Pastor Kendrick's letter, the overall cost for the trail as per dedication agreement exceeds the costs that the church would have paid on a straight cash dedication. The 'church is thus proposing to dedicate the land for this trail and the remainder in cash for construction purposes. The following motion was made, by the Park Board, to review the original park dedication.
