CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING August 3, 1992 wetland. Recommendation by the board at that meeting was to accept the park dedication proposal as originally presented in March of 1990. That was to see that the park land and trails be brought up to grade when phase 2 (Park Grove) was developed. Mr. Rick Carlson, the developer explained that when he originally presented his park dedication proposal in 1989 this property was not considered wetland, but since then DNR and wetland regulations have changed. However, he still feels that this land has a value and would like the park board to consider that it has "marginal" use as a passive park. Marty Asleson pointed out that the comprehensive park plan calls for an active park here. It really doesn't matter where the 10 acres come from, they could be included with land to the south. Mr. Carlson says that this land is not too low to be mowed, and he will obtain a letter from the DNR to that effect. After lengthy discussion, Don Volk suggested that the park dedication question could be agreeable if the city were to accept the 3 . 5+ acres of usable park land and approximately 10 acres of wetland as park dedication, and continue to hold the land per the Pineridge agreement for outlot "D" in the Pineridge developers agreement until the developer can prove to the city that the 10 acres is usable park land. MOTION: Ray Johnson made a motion to recommend to council that the park board accept 3 . 46 acres of high ground and the remaining approximate 10 acres in wetland that is not under water for park dedication, and once the developer shows it to be usable, the City will return the land being held in escrow in the Pineridge developers agreement. Motion was seconded by Brian Bourassa. All were in favor, motion passed.
