Marty walked the trail crossing area from Trappers Crossing to Birch Park with Kate Drewery, Administrator for the Rice Creek Watershed, and it appears that this is probably as short as anywhere. He stated he had met with Jean Cummings and discussed the three concerns she had. Her concerns are land-locked parcels, trail liability and development of her land to the west. Marty showed on an overhead the location of the peninsula and stated that we have the potential to add to our park acreage totals to come closer to standard needs for this area, particularly if dedication is taken on the southwest side of the park when Jean Cummings develops the area to the west. George Lindy asked where the location of the swingset was on the overhead. Marty pointed out the grove and swingset. There was discussion on tax forfeited land. Sometimes developers leave tax forfeited land and the owner does not have to pay taxes on this land. Marty gave a slide show presentation and pointed out where Jean wants to build around the pond and other sections of the area. George asked how much further to the north the development would be going. Marty indicated the area on the slide.
