City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting June 7, 1999 Mr. John Johnson, Engineer for Mr. Uhde, stated the trails in Behm' s 5th Addition will be graded when the watermain is completed. He stated there is room for 6-8 cars on the street . There is also space for a very small parking lot in the corner of the park if the City desires one. Mr. Bret Shroyer, 119 Mustang Court, came forward and stated the neighbors he has talked to do not like the idea of selling park property. However, they would rather have amenities in a smaller park than no amenities in a large park. Another resident came forward and stated there were many residents who were not aware that a vote would be taken regarding the plan at the last meeting. Because of that many people who are in favor of the park did not attend the last meeting. Mr. Randy Gamer, 107 Pony Court, came forward and stated he was against the previous plan. There was concern regarding the sale of park property and the six houses on Palomino Lane. He stated he was happy with the work and compromise that went into the revised plan. He stated his family is very excited for a park that can be used now. Mr. Chad Spencer, 101 Pony Court, stated he appreciates the revised plan and feels it works a lot better. He indicated he is very pleased with the revised plan and is no longer opposed to the project . Paul stated consideration for the park within 6th Addition and Moliter parcel needs to be included in the developers agreement . Awareness of the larger park needs to be made if there is a different developer or a new Park Board. Rick advised that this plan is based on the commitment to develop a larger park to the north of the Behm' s Century Farm development . He stated he also has signed forms indicating support of the plan from the four most affected homeowners . Paul Montain made a motion, seconded by Jeff Reinert, to approve the concept plan with consideration of a park in the next addition. The motion passed unanimously. Rick noted the next step is to go through the ordinance process . He suggested the process for new playground equipment may begin after the first Council discussion of the plan. 4
