C I T Y O F <br /> IN O IM <br /> July 23 , 1990 <br /> Mr. David R. Phipps <br /> Superintendent of Parks <br /> 200 Civic Heights Circle <br /> Circle Pines, MN 55014 <br /> Dear Dave; <br /> This letter is in regards to the questions that were <br /> generated at your June 4th Park Board meeting, concerning the <br /> cooperative park development issue of Baldwin/Rice Lake <br /> Estates. <br /> The City of Lino Lakes would use their own Park Dedication <br /> monies from Rice Lake Estates to develop the amenities of <br /> this area exclusive of the trail in the Circle Pines side of <br /> the loop. We will develop everything (within our budgetary <br /> constraints ) that the neighborhood would identify as a need. <br /> Again, hopefully these amenities can complement the <br /> facilities in Baldwin Park. Some of the concepts that have <br /> been talked about are tennis courts , playground equipment and <br /> the trail loop with the exercise equipment. Possibly the <br /> trail would need to be implemented at a later date when joint <br /> dollars could fund it. I would envision some of the basics <br /> again in playground equipment (swings, slides) with an <br /> "adventure" type play structure that would complement Baldwin <br /> design. <br /> Parking would be facilitated, on the Lino Lakes side, at our <br /> well house site. We do not anticipate a great deal of <br /> parking need since this park mainly is to be used by this <br /> isolated neighborhood. Circle Pines residents would park in <br /> the Baldwin Parking lot. The exact routing of the trail <br /> could be worked out prior to the time of trail installation . <br /> I would envision the trail falling lower on the contours <br /> where the tennis court and play apparatus were identified <br /> (and the tennis court and play apparatus higher on the <br /> contours) on the concept plan. Also the trail probably would <br /> need to be routed to the east side of the hockey rink at <br /> Baldwin Park. This is speculation and we would need to <br /> verify the exact location before we proceed very much <br /> further. <br /> Adding on the back of the tennis courts, a basketball court <br /> is a possibility, however, we too have a limited budget and <br /> must determine what is a possibility based on neighborhood <br /> input and allowed budget. <br /> 1189 MAIN STREET.
