City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting July 6, 1999 n Ms. Roland stated some residents in the area want to keep it a green area because they exercise their dogs there. Any concerns regarding teenage problems are not warranted. Chair Lindy stated there is the issue of park duplication in Centerville. The playground being developed there is only five houses down the road. He asked if a play structure is going to be installed. Ms. Roland stated the City of Centerville has indicated a play structure will be installed sometime in the future. Rick added that Centerville has applied for a grant relating to the installation of playground equipment at the park. A play structure will be a lower priority if the grant is not received. Chair Lindy stated that initially it was proposed that the land be sold because it was not being used. Residents at that time indicated they were in favor of an informal ball field and having trees planted. Ms . Roland stated the residents are in favor of trees being planted that would face LaMotte Circle. Leaving the area a green area is not the general feeling of the residents at this time . There are many children in the area and the number of children is growing. Chair Lindy asked if the adjoining property owner right next to the park signed the petition. Ms . Roland advised the two closest property owners did sign the petition. Paul stated that duplication to the park in Centerville is an issue. He asked what amenities the neighborhood would like to see in LaMotte Park. Ms. Roland stated the residents are in favor of a swing set, slide, climbing equipment, benches, and a picnic table. The play equipment should be geared towards younger children. Jeff stated that before anything is done, the City should get together with the City of Centerville to determine what they are developing. 3
