PARR BOARD MINUTES Monday, December 2, 1991 explained that if the trails present too much of a problem to them, or if it's not affordable to develop this, they would not pursue this option. The property purchase is contingent upon approval of the City. He also asked who would be responsible if he were to put a trail system in where the soil is bad and it sinks away in a couple of years, he assumes that the developer would be responsible for that. George Lindy asked for a consensus of the board. John Baumann suggested running the trails behind lots 22 & 23 and the Delzer property and thought some decorative shrubbery or the like could be put up to keep kids from running into private property, and direct the flow out to the trails and on to the parks, possibly even a split rail fence.
