PARK BOARD MINUTES <br /> January 8, 1990 <br /> Item *14. There is money budgeted for boulevard <br /> reforestation at Birch Park. <br /> Ken Johnson discussed berming the roadway at Sunrise Park <br /> where the ballfield is only ten feet away from the street . <br /> Don Volk stated that the city will be having access to earth <br /> from an improvement project along Second Avenue and on Lake <br /> Drive and Elm Street possibly this summer. He said we could <br /> use this material in our parks and create some berms out of <br /> that material. <br /> Don Volk also suggested further development at Shenandoah <br /> park, possibly the installation of a well . The board <br /> discussed the possibility of having water transported to the <br /> site for flooding ice rinks in place of a well . A. well will <br /> cost a minimum of $5 , 000 to $6, 000 . <br /> The board discussed how exotic the building should be at <br /> Birch Park. Marty Asleson stated that for a rock faced block <br /> building and a nice roof scheme it would cost $68. 00 per <br /> square foot . The cost of renting a warming house is $160 . 00 <br /> per month. <br /> Don Volk pointed out to the members that once the recreation <br /> program gets under way the city will find a need for <br /> considerably more inside space. <br /> George Lindy asked for cost comparisons on different types of <br /> buildings for discussion at the February park board meeting. <br /> TIMBER PONDS PARK DEDICATION UPDATE/VERBAL, NO PROPOSAL FROM <br /> DEVELOPER AT THIS TIME/DON VOLK. <br /> Don Volk met with the three owners of Timber Ponds . The <br /> owners were trying to purchase land from property owned by <br /> Mr. and Mrs . Sharpen adjacent to Timber Ponds . This attempt <br /> failed. Mr. Volk recommended to the owners that they <br /> approach Mr. Crohn who also owns land adjacent to Timber <br /> Ponds and try to purchase some land for park next to Crohn ' s <br /> proposed park land. <br /> Don Volk will meet with the owners again in the near future. <br /> Hopefully negotiations can be made with Mr. Crohn and the <br /> Timber Ponds owners. <br /> The Park Board will not discuss this issue again until a <br /> proposal is submitted to the board for review. <br /> Don Volk stated that this will be a phased project. The City <br /> of Lino Lakes is promoting developers to phase their <br /> subdivisions . <br /> OLD BUSINESS <br /> Page 4 <br />
