n CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING NOVEMBER 2, 1992 Also in attendance and commenting on the possible decision to purchase several acres in this area was Judy Coccia of 168 White Pine Road. Ms. Coccia also feels the need for a park here, but feels that there may be an alternative to placing a park where it would be necessary to cut down the large oak trees. She says there is land for sale at the end of Oakwood Road that would also fit into the plan. Marty Asleson explained that he has already checked on that particular property and was told it was sold to Bruggeman. Seeing that this discussion concerns property in the N-14 area, Marty Asleson informed the board that the Clyde Rehbein purchase and development of the Aras property here is on hold at this time and not ready to come before the board for consideration. George Lindy thanked the group for their concern and input, and noted that the board will certainly consider their feelings and efforts and continue to pursue acquisition of property for a park in their neighborhood. He also explained that this will be a slow process, there is a limited budget and the priorities will be to finish up smaller projects first and then acquisition. Marty Asleson and other board members will get involved with the ^� neighborhood group and keep in touch with the contact person. NEW BUSINESS• Living Waters Lutheran Church - Proposal: Because of the lengthy discussions previous to "New Business" on the agenda, item #5-A under new business was moved up to this time to accommodate those from Living Waters Lutheran Church who were in attendance. Mr. Ted Erkanbrak representing Living Waters Lutheran Church came before the board with a park dedication proposal regarding construction of a church on 9. 6 acres located at Reshanau Lake on Birch Street just north of Old Birch Street on the "S" curve. Construction on the church is expected to start sometime next spring. In compliance with the Master Plan for Transportation, the church will construct a transportation trail on the north side of the protected wetland area adjacent to Birch Street. This trail is intended to run the entire length of the church property along Birch Street. Building space is tight on this property and they would prefer to dedicate cash rather than property for park dedication. However,they have asked the board to waive the park dedication on this project all together. If the board does not waive the fee, then the church proposes to be willing to assist in the construction of a recreational trail along with the transportation trail. This trail would follow the old fur trappers, A-*N trail along the lakeshore that would link to Country Lakes Park to 3
