PARK BOARD MINUTES ,.., Monday, December 2, 1991 that he knows it is not normal practice for the county to allow trails on their right-of-way. Mr. Corson asked what other options he has, if that should be the case. This would mean that the developer would then be responsible to build a trail over to Captain's Place, so that people can get out to Black Duck Drive on the east. Captain's Place is now owned by the City. Mr. Corson noted that he has submitted his final plat, and expects to be on the council agenda in December. Marty Asleson said he expects to have an answer from the county and/or DNR within a month. MOTION: A motion was made by John Baumann to approve the Quail Ridge 15 foot trail easement to run from Wild Turkey Trail to the proposed 3. 1 acre park in this development, and also a trail system at the rear of lots 8 & 9 that come out to Captain's Place. This motion is contingent upon the jog being accepted by the Highway Department, or adding on to the existing culvert to make the path connect. Motion was seconded by Candi Toffoli. All were in favor. Motion carried. Pheasant Hills Land Trades - Don Volk preceded Mr. Vaughan's presentation by explaining the history of the Pheasant Hills development. Back in June of 1990 park dedication was accepted that would include an island of approximately 10-15 acres and a peninsula of approximately 3 acres in size. (a copy of those minutes is enclosed) . Mr. Vaughan handed out written proposals to the board, and explained that after meeting with Dave Torkildson from Anoka County, he (Mr. Vaughan) would propose to keep the island part of his dedication for development in exchange with the county to access Sherman and Ward Lakes, the county would then give him a 20 acre parcel of buildable land from within their Regional Park Preserve so that he would be able to trade this parcel for the island. This property is located north of Marshan Lake and southeast of the I-35W and Hwy 49 interchange. This trade would give the county control of the access that they want into the Regional Park from the lakes and would also serve to satisfy Mr. Vaughan's park land dedication to the city. Mr. Vaughan feels that if he can keep and develop the island, he will be able to build a road from the north of the Weaver Property (Quail Ridge) to the island. Don Volk explained that the comprehensive park plan shows a need for a larger parcel of land near the school property, and suggested the park board may want to negotiate this within the parcel to satisfy park needs. Mr. Vaughan says his preliminary plat has already been accepted, and that he has nothing inside his boundary to dedicate for park land. 4
