AGENDA ITEM 14-A STAFF ORIGINATOR Marty Asieson DATE February 19, 1993 TOPIC Woods of Baldwin Lake Update BACKGROUND A special meeting was held by the Lino Lakes Park and Recreation Board at 12:00 pm on Saturday, February 6, at the proposed park site in the Woods of Baldwin Lake Development. The purpose of the meeting was to allow the Park Board an opportunity to view the proposed site and answer questions concerning access and usable open space. There was a good representation of the neighborhood present. Basically, these folks had the same questions; There was agreement by the Park Board that the site should lend itself to be a suitable short term (could possibly be long term) , although not ideal solution to finding public open space for the neighborhood to use as a park. This would be a mini-park essentially, and further efforts would be made to secure additional land as it becomes available. The motion was passed to accept the proposed park area for the dedication requirements from the developer, with a couple of conditions. One condition was to further review with the developer the possibilities of re-shaping the pond so that a trail might be installed on the east side for access.- The other condition was that the Army Corps of Engineers would authorize this work to be done. The motion was seconded and unanimously carried. Please find enclosed a copy of a letter from Mr. Clyde Rehbein concerning his `intents regarding these matters. Item no 2 states that he is willing to construct a non-bituminous walking trail with on-site material along the east property line. The walking trail` will be approximately 8 feet by 250 feet and will begin at the northeast corner of the property. Mr. Rehbein informed me that this meant a gravel trail. He also indicated that the city would be responsible for ,acquir'ng the necessary permits from the Corps. We have acquired the permit application and are now waiting for the wetland to be delineated.
