yr Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department 7204 Lake Drive CITY O F Lino Lakes, MN 55014 N KE (651) 780-1885 Fax (651) 784-7227 June 1, 1999 TO: Park Board Members FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director SUBJECT: Discussion of Behm's Century Farm Park The Park Board requested that this item be placed on this month's agenda. Enclosed is a revised plan for Behm's Century Farm Park. Note the proposed residential lots along Mustang Lane have been reduced to four. The developer has discussed the concerns of the two existing residences and they have indicated support for the revised concept plan. There was also concern about homeowners located on Pony Court that requested a trail access to the park. This has also been accomplished. The two homes on the east side of Mustang Lane are currently up for sale. A full disclosure of this proposed plan will ensure that any potential homeowners are aware of this situation. The developer has indicated that he will commit to the development of the park that was discussed at the May Park Board meeting. Jeff Schoenbauer and I are in agreement that the proposed concept plan is something that we could support to accelerate the development of Behm's Century Farm Park. However, any agreement to reduce the existing size of this park area is directly related to the future park to the north of the Behm's Century Farm Development. We need to be very clear that the reason we are able to reduce the size of Behm's Century Farm Park is a commitment from the developer and city to provide a more"destination"park as development to the north occurs. This future park may include a baseball field,basketball court, hockey rink, tennis courts, etc. Enclosed is the letter that was sent to all residents who attended the May 3, 1999 Behm's Park meeting. Mr. Uhde will be present at the June Park Board meeting to discuss this proposal in more detail. RD:sw sw/parkbrd/Discussion of Behm's Century Farm Park.doc
