1. - City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting n June 3, 1996 Marty said the options were to accept the dedication based on the discussion presented in this document and the land/cash values that the developer will present or refer back to staff for further consideration. Mr. Asleson recommended we accept the dedication for land/and any additional cash based on our dedication formula for the parcels of Miller' s South Glen and the Junas Property. Accept the trail dedication for Miller' s South Glen as well . Marty showed a slide of the park area. He also put overheads on the screen from the comprehensive plan and the master plan. Paul Montain asked if Rick Carlson owned the land. Rick responded that he had a purchase agreement with a closing date. There was discussion on wetlands and the vegetation in the elephant trunk area. Ted said the vegetation was Cottonwood and Birch trees . The board also discussed boardwalk areas and the cost, of them, if they had to be built . Parking was also discussed. Residents had questions about what amenities could be placed in the newer part of the park. George asked residents to wait until we got to the Birchwood Acres Update to address this issue. MOTION• Sharon Lane made a motion to accept the land dedication, as shown, contingent on review and acceptance of the wetland delineation by the Rice Creek Watershed District . Pam Taschuk seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. BIRCHWOOD ACRES UPDATE: The park board' s policy is to wait for at least 500 of the residents to move into a neighborhood before beginning the master-planning process . They believe this is an essential and prudent process in order to create the feeling of ownership in the parks and the belief that their dedicated park or tax dollars are being spent wisely. Marty asked members to keep in mind that the risks are differences of opinion that can sometimes create angry situations that the board will have to make some tough decisions on. He believes this is the best process we have for what the people want . If there is another way, he asked that someone let him know. 3
