T: MEMORANDUM TO: All Park Board Members FROM: Marty Asleson DATE: February 28, 1992 SUBJECT: Agenda Please note that there is only one consideration and/or recommendation type of issue on the Agenda this month. Staff has been working very hard to finish the Comprehensive Plan with Jeff Schoenbauer, and this has taken a great deal of time. We did have the representative for the Roger Hokanson development, Quail Ridge, come in with another proposal. In light of the fact that we are very close to some major policy decisions concerning the philosophy of trails, I have decided that it would be well worth the time from our standpoint, to wait until the Parks Planning /committee and the new board members have time to digest the information contained within the document. The plan will be available Monday, as per the letter sent by Brauer and Associates. I believe that the linear park greenery trail corridor idea presented in the plan is a very good idea. This is not a new idea as can be seen in the works of many parks and trail designers such as Cleveland. The decisions made today will affect the passive recreation opportunities of the residents of Lino Lakes for a very long time. at the same time, we are faced with development issues that necessitate need to make decisions. These issues and decisions I have found, are not unique to the City of Lino Lakes. I would like to raise this as a discussion item at the board meeting and carry the decision through upcoming Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Planning Committee meetings. If need be, we can have a special meeting on the trails so that the issues are perfectly clear. The Quail Ridge development will be a good test of the upcoming comprehensive plan.
