OLD BUSINESS: Keith Eibensteiner/Black Duck Estates - Mr. Keith Eibensteiner appeared in front of the park board again this month with his proposal to meet the trail dedication requirements that the board had requested of him at the November meeting. The board at that time explained the importance of getting people to the other side of Black Duck Drive to the proposed neighborhood park. Mr. Eibensteiner explained that until he brought his proposal in front of the Design Review Board recently, he was not aware that there was a trail dedication to satisfy, he thought it was all taken care of because the park dedication had previously been satisfied. At the last meeting Mr. Eibensteiner and the park board had somewhat agreed that a trail along the north side of Birch Street going east and west to the end of the development would be a good trail link. This plan would require the developer going to the property owner of the lot on the corner of Birch Street and Outlot J. As of this meeting Mr. Eibensteiner had not talked to the property owners. Marty Asleson explained to Mr. Eibensteiner that the main concern of the board and also the recommendation of park plan consultants (Brauer & Associates) was to get the people out to the other side of Black Duck Drive. He went on to explain that in reviewing the original proposal from their last meeting, he and City Engineer Dan Boxrud feel that the house on the lot in question sits very close to the right-of-way. He would prefer to see the trails more to the north, running east and west behind the houses, straight through the development. Mr. Eibensteiner reports this is a problem because of a vein of bad soil running through this area. It's all very low land there. This was discussed earlier in the day with Mr. Eibensteiner, Dan Boxrud and Marty Asleson. Mr. Eibensteiner 1
