City of Lino Lakes <br /> Park Board Meeting <br /> June 7, 1999 <br /> proposed concept plan is something that can be supported to <br /> accelerate the development of the Behm' s Century Farm Park. <br /> However, any agreement to reduce the existing size of this park <br /> area is directly related to the future park to the north of the <br /> Behm' s Century Farm Development . <br /> It needs to be very clear that the reason the City is able to <br /> reduce the size of the Behm' s Century Farm Park is a commitment <br /> from the developer and City to provide a more "destination" park <br /> as development to the north occurs . This future park may include <br /> a baseball field, basketball court, hockey rink, tennis courts, <br /> etc . <br /> Mr. Gary Uhde, Developer for the project, came forward and <br /> reviewed the revised plan. He noted the homes fronting Mustang <br /> Lane have been reduced to four allowing for a clear view to the <br /> park. A trail connection has been included. Landscaping along <br /> Mustang Lane has been increased. <br /> Mr. Uhde added he is hopeful of beginning the park improvements <br /> this year. <br /> Paul asked if Mr. Uhde had spoke with the two most affected <br /> homeowners . Mr. Uhde stated he did speak with those homeowners <br /> most affected and the two prospective homeowners . The homeowners <br /> indicated they would rather not have any homes there but the <br /> revised plan does address the majority of their concerns . They <br /> have indicated they are in favor of the park improvements . <br /> Paul asked about the size of the lots on Palomino Lane. Mr. Uhde <br /> stated the width of the lots are 801 . <br /> Jeff asked about the dollars involved regarding the new <br /> configuration. Mr. Uhde stated the lots on Palomino Lane will be <br /> lower in value because of the pipeline. He stated he is however, <br /> still committed to the same amount of park improvements . <br /> Paul asked about the cost of the improvements in relation to the <br /> value of the improvements . Mr. Uhde stated he is making an <br /> $80, 000 commitment . The value of that is equivalent to $100, 000 <br /> - $110, 000 if the city would coordinate the improvements . He <br /> stated if the improvements are less than that he will make it up <br /> in cash. <br /> 2 <br />
