PARK BOARD MINUTES <br /> January 8, 1990 <br /> Bill Nissen asked about Rice Lake Estates . Don Volk stated. <br /> that the city has ownership of two lots . The problem lies in <br /> the fact that there is not enough room on those two lots for <br /> a double tennis court . It is not short by very much. Rice <br /> Lake Plaza, a large commercial development is planned for <br /> property adjacent to Rice Lake Estates . Don Volks intent is <br /> to combine Rice Lake Plaza' s park dedication with Rice Lake <br /> Estates to create a sizeable parcel for park dedication. <br /> This would allow enough land for a double tennis court , <br /> parking and more. <br /> Don Volk added that there is enough room on the two lots for <br /> a single tennis court , although it is not cost effective to <br /> construct a single court . <br /> NEW BUSINESS <br /> Don Volk discussed a concept plan of the Montain property. <br /> This is an 80 acre parcel adjacent to Reshanau Lake Estates . <br /> Don asked the park board what they would like to see for park <br /> dedication in this area. There is 12 - 14 acres in Reshanau <br /> Lake Estates dedicated to parks , although the park land that <br /> is adjacent to the Montain property is low land. <br /> Once fully developed, Reshanau Lake Estates will consist of <br /> between 140-160 homes . Approximately the same number of <br /> homes will be built on the Montain property. <br /> Don suggested several alternatives to the board. One <br /> alternative is to claim a portion of land in the south area. <br /> of the Montain property. If that were the case Shenandoah <br /> Addition would also have access to the Montain park. <br /> George Lindy suggested taking a dedication of $400 . 00 per lot <br /> and using that money to improve Shenandoah' s park land. <br /> Marty stated that a rule of thumb is one acre of park land <br /> per hundred people is an adequate amount . This area will be <br /> holding approximately 600 homes , and this would be pretty <br /> crowded. <br /> Bill Nissen also suggested accepting a cash dedication for <br /> the Montain property, and when land is developed south of <br /> this project and south of Shenandoah an additional park could <br /> be developed there. <br /> Don Volk stated that there is room for development of park <br /> land in Reshanau Lake Estates , and felt a ballfield would fit <br /> well in that area. <br /> The park board requested a concept drawing for park land in <br /> Reshanau Park Estates to include a ballfield, soccer or <br /> football field at this site that would serve the two 80 acre <br /> subdivisions , (Montain and Reshanau Lake Estates) <br /> Page 5 <br />
