PARK BOARD MINUTES April 2, 1990 2nd Avenue, giving the ice arena better access . Anywhere you would install the ice arena a ballfield would have to be eliminated. The task force feels that 2 1/2 to 4 acres is what would be required for the ice arena. Marty and Don hope to attend future task force meetings and will keep the board informed of their progress. MOTION: Ken Johnson moved to recommend to the city council acceptance of the resolution supporting the ice arena. John Bauman seconded the motion and the motion was approved unanimously. REVIEW OF BILL HAWKINS LETTER REGARDING TRAILS. The board reviewed a letter from Bill Hawkins regarding trails. Don Volk explained what Mr. Hawkins stated in part : It would be my recommendation that the areas the city desires for trails be labeled as park on the final plat so that the city has control over these areas for park purposes which would include trailways. I don' t believe the county surveyor will accept easements for anything other than public utilities, drainage, or streets on a plat . Similarly merely labeling them as outlots would require the developer, after approval of the final plat and recording thereof, to convey the property to the city by separate warranty deed. Any time land is dedicated in a plat the city has an easement over the property for park purposes . This would give the city absolute control over the premises and would allow us to prohibit the adjoining property owners from constructing fences or planting trees on the trails. CONSIDERATION OF MINOR SUBDIVISION FOR ROSS AND ANNETTE REED. This is a parcel located in Ulmer' s Rice Lake Addition. The applicant wishes to subdivide his land creating two additional lots. MOTION: Bill Nissen moved to recommend to city council acceptance of $400. 00 per lot to fulfill park dedication requirements. George Lindy seconded the motion and the motion was approved.
