City of Lino Lakes <br /> Park Board Meeting <br /> August 3, 1998 <br /> In reviewing the Clearwater Creek Development Phase I and II in <br /> November, 1994, the Park Board made a motion "to accept park land <br /> as noted in Phase I and II . Should the land to the north not be <br /> developed, the developer will give written assurance of a 10 acre <br /> site in the area shown as Phase V" (this is the current Phase III <br /> that is being discussed) . <br /> Rick stated that the park land which was dedicated in Phase I and <br /> II is not suitable for park development. Rick recommended to <br /> require an 8 acre park area be developed to serve the present and <br /> future residents of the Clearwater Creek developments . Because <br /> there will not be any further development to the north, as <br /> originally planned, this area will not build out to 450 homes. <br /> An 8 acre park could still serve the recreational and leisure <br /> needs of this area, without creating an undue hardship to the <br /> developer. <br /> Rick stated there is an existing trail located on the western <br /> edge of the existing Clearwater Creek Development, west of Tele <br /> Lane. It is imperative that this trail continue southward to <br /> provide trail access to the 3rd Addition Development, future <br /> developments, and park areas . <br /> Mr. Quigley stated he will be meeting with the City Consultant <br /> regarding the preliminary plat for the property. He stated the <br /> land to the south is not conducive for a 10 acre park because of <br /> the topography. He indicated the greenway corridor will be an <br /> issue regarding park dedication. He asked for some direction <br /> from the Park Board regarding the park dedication. <br /> Paul expressed concern because there is no mention of land for a <br /> park or recreational facility or trails that link the area to <br /> another park. <br /> Chair Lindy stated the continuation of the transportation trail <br /> has to be addressed. Because of the density of homes in the <br /> area, a plan is needed for open space. He asked where the park <br /> area was to be located in the original plat. <br /> Mr. Quigley explained that the City changed the zoning in the <br /> area where the park was to be developed. Land to the north will <br /> not be developed. He stated the developer does not own all the <br /> land to the south. If a greenway corridor is required, that land <br /> may go to park dedication. <br /> Sharon stated she would like to see a park developed in Phase III <br /> n so the park is centrally located. <br /> 2 <br />
