City of Lino Lakes <br /> Park Board Meeting <br /> January 4, 1999 <br /> REQUEST FOR LANDSCAPING ADJACENT TO NEW TRAIL IN CLEARWATER <br /> CREEK• <br /> Rick stated Mr. Jim Johnson, the builder of the home on Lot 4 of <br /> the Clearwater Creek 2nd Addition, is requesting that the City <br /> provide trees and shrubs to provide a buffer between his home and <br /> the new trail . <br /> Rick recommended the City assist the homeowners of Lots 4-7 in <br /> providing adequate buffering from the trail . He stated it is <br /> quite probable that the existing trail location would have been <br /> originally identified in the final plat had the City reviewed the <br /> preliminary plat for the trail location. However, since an <br /> additional 27 feet of easement was acquired after the final plat <br /> was approved, the City should assist in rectifying the situation. <br /> Chair Lindy asked about the status of each lot . Rick stated Lot <br /> 4 has been developed, Lot 5 is the original model home, Lot 6 is <br /> vacant, and Lot 7 has a home on it . <br /> Rick said the trail has been graded from the slope to the <br /> existing lots . Currently, no plantings are placed so it is more <br /> visually obtrusive . <br /> Chair Lindy stated that if the Board agrees conceptually, staff <br /> should make the decision as to what should be done . <br /> Rick noted the dollars spent for Lot 4 would be used as a <br /> guideline for the three other lots . He added that the City <br /> accepting responsibility for the buffering would be a good-will <br /> gesture . <br /> Jeff Reinert made a motion, seconded by Pam Taschuk, to direct <br /> Rick and staff to distribute Park Dedication funds, at their <br /> discretion, for trees and shrubs for buffering between the trail <br /> and homes for Lots 4-7 in Clearwater Creek. The motion passed. <br /> Rick noted Lot 1 is currently vacant . It is possible that in the <br /> future the owner of that lot may request buffering also. <br /> REVIEW 1999 PARK BOARD GOALS: <br /> Rick reviewed the 1999 Park Board goals that were determined at <br /> the last meeting. He asked that two parks be designated for new <br /> ,^ playground equipment . <br /> Through discussion, it was the consensus of the Board to <br /> designate $20, 000 for playground equipment at Arena Acres and <br /> 2 <br />
