1�r . 19 7 7 The regular meeting of the Lino Lakes Recreation and Environmental Commission was to be called to order at 8:00 P.M. , Monday, January 2, 1979. There was not a quor- um present. Members present: Scherer, Shaughnessy, Crouse. Members absent; Ken Johnson, Ina Liljedahl , Milton Jorgensen, Charles Cheeseborough. Mr. Zelinka Council Liason and Mr. Bill Short, City Planner was also present. Mr. Zelinka explained that when he became Park Board Liason last January de did not know that the Park Board considered the plan prepared by the University Students for City Hall Park as the permanent plan for the Park. The Park Board told him otherwise. Mr. Zelinka also told the Board that the Council gave the Park Board permission to make a serious effort at preparing plans for a permanent activities building for the City Hall Park as well as giving the Board permission to consult with Mr. Short in preparing an overall City Comprehensive Park plan. Presently several Council members are concerned about the lack of Park facilities on the east side of the City. Mr. Scharer felt the Council should be more concerned about developing an over all City development plan especially concerned about developing industrial and commer- cial districts. He felt it would be only natural to develop industrial areas along the freeways since this is the way the freeways are developing to the south of the City. Mr. Short noted that the City had prepared a Comprehensive Land Use Plan in 1973 that addressed itself to this type of development and the City is presently up dat- ing this plan. This Comprehensive Land Use Plan includes an overall City Park Plan and this Park Plan should be up dated by the Park Board rather than the Planning and Zoning Board. Mr. Zelinka said one of the major concerns will be what are the vealistic Park needs of this City in the next 5, 10, 15 years? Mr. Short showed the Board the Comprehensive Park Plan his firm prepared for South St. Paul . He felt some of the standards developed for South St. Paul could be used in this City. The Clerk showed Mr. Short the map showing all platted areas of the City and noted some other areas that may be developed in the very near future. This information could be helpful in developing the overall park plan. Mr. Shor said he would ask one of his staff members to prepare some practical stand- ards that this board could use in updating the overall Park Plan and get it to the Clerk before the next meeting. Mr. Short wild also outline IIC of the Lino Lakes Outdoor Recreation Plan Update and check on IV B, 2, and 3. The Lino Lakes Outdoor Recreation Plan Update will be sent to all Park Board members by the Clerk and the members should to the best of their ability try to outline �1 what they feel the needs are according to this update plan. The meeting adjourned at IO.00P.M.
