n CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1993 information provided by the board. There was no decision or recommendation made at this time. It was decided that this project would be further discussed at the goal setting session scheduled for 7:00 pm on Wednesday, October 27th. NEW BUSINESS••Oaks of Lino Lakes Park and trail dedication proposal This item was moved up in the agenda to accommodate Mr. Kirk Corson, representative of Hokanson Development in the audience at this time. Hokanson Development is proposing a development of approximately it acres located south of Birch Street and east of Old Birch St, bordering the west side of D. Erickson 2nd Addition. According to the comprehensive plan there is no need for park land here so the park dedication will be in the form of cash at log of the market value of the it acres. Of the 11 acres on the site, only 5 are considered non wetland. Even though the land is dry and able to be walked on, according to recent wetland regulations it is considered wetland because of certain wetland species found there. The developer paid only $50 per acre for the wetland. Mr. Corson met with Marty Asleson and Jeff Schoenbauer at the site and reviewed the trail requirements. The developer is proposing a trail on the existing farm road crossing the wetlands between the project site and Old Birch St. This trail could be extended to the high land to the south (Saddle Club) and also to the cul-de-sac between the two most southerly lots. A lineal trail corridor traverses through this area as depicted on page 619 of the Comp Plan (trail segment 133) . This is a spur trail corridor that is intended to link up with Birch Street and into the main corridor trail to the south (trail segment 132) . Since it may be some time before the trail segment north of the proposed development goes through (due to wetland issues it may not be possible at all) it may dead-end on the west side and some day may go out to Old Birch street and then connect in to trail segment 132 to the south. Because of the wetland laws there seems to be no other solution. Marty agrees and suggested the park board accept the trail and park dedication proposal. MOTION: Brian Bourassa made a motion to recommend that council accept the park and trail dedication as proposed, but with the condition that the developer post and define the trail as a future trail site at the end of the trail with signage, and fence it off from adjoining residential property. (This is to avoid any other problems such as what happened with the Woodridge Estates .trail) .). The motion was seconded by Jacquelyne Farm. All were in favor. Motion carried. 2
