City of Lino Lakes <br /> Park Board Meeting <br /> n August 3, 1998 <br /> Rick stated he would speak to the Little League, the organization <br /> that donated the backstop. <br /> Chair Lindy indicated the Park Board does agree with the removal <br /> of the backstop from Shenandoah Park. <br /> Relocation of Birch Park Playground Area -Rick explained that <br /> staff is recommending the relocation of the playground area for <br /> the installation of the new playground equipment. Upon expanding <br /> the existing playground area to the required dimensions (87' x <br /> 871 ) there were some concerns . Several sprinkler heads and <br /> irrigation lines would need to be moved. Also, a significant <br /> amount of fill would be required to create a level playground <br /> area. Expanding the existing playground area also seemed to <br /> "overwhelm" this area of the park. <br /> Rick stated that by relocating the play area to the south and <br /> west, it would allow more options for this park in the future <br /> (i . e. half court basketball court, small picnic shelter, etc. ) . <br /> Relocation of the playground area will result in the removal of <br /> one diseased cherry tree. <br /> n Rick stated the planned trail access is to the south. <br /> Chair Lindy noted that the proposed location for the playground <br /> equipment is a parcel of land not being used. <br /> Paul expressed concern regarding the visibility of the bleachers <br /> from the area. Rick explained that the bleachers cannot be seen <br /> from this area. From a resident' s point of view the playground <br /> equipment will not be intrusive. <br /> Rick stated that the new playground equipment will be installed <br /> in Birch Park on August 15, 1998 . Equipment will be installed at <br /> Shenandoah Park on August 22, 1998 . Lino Park installation is <br /> scheduled for October 3, 1998 . A date has not yet been <br /> determined for Rice Lake Estate Park. It will be sometime in <br /> late October, 1998 . <br /> OLD BUSINESS: <br /> None. <br /> NEW BUSINESS: <br /> None. <br /> SCHEDULE NEXT PARK BOARD MEETING: <br /> The next Park Board meeting will be held on August 31, 1998, <br /> 6: 30pm, at the Lino Lakes City Hall . <br /> 7 <br />
