City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting May 5, 1997 George asked about fly balls coming from the ballfield into the park. Barry said this would happen very little because the field is used by 6-8 year olds, not adults . Pam asked if the pleasure rink would lose space in either plan during the winter. Barry responded no it would not be affected. Kim asked how many spaces would be lost in the commuter lot with Plan B. Barry said we would lose about 6' or 1 parking space. There was discussion about putting in a post or gate in the summer to deter motorized traffic . Joe asked if there were still neighborhood people interested in doing this project . Barry said we have been contacted by residents and they are still interested. Joe suggested the residents be contacted with a tentative date so they can get prepared. MOTION: Paul Montain made a motion to accept Option B with minimal grading and proceed at great speed. Kim seconded the motion with the addition that a post or a gate be put in to stop traffic from driving on the trail . Motion passed unanimously. George told Barry to thank Mike for getting this site plan done so quickly. He also told Barry that city staff should do the preparation work. Rice Lake Estates Park: Barry talked to Dave Phipps and the City of Circle Pines does not feel this is a top priority project for them. Dave did not offer suggestions to get his council to take action on this park. Joe asked if there would be any benefit to the City of Circle Pines, recreational usage, if this park was completed. Barry said absolutely and that was something that could be negotiated. Paul suggested George draft a letter to Circle Pines City Council . George said he and Barry will draft a letter to set-up a meeting to address this issue. Other Park Updates: Joe asked if the City was going to get land to the south of the Park and Recreation Building. Barry said yes . 5
