PARK BOARD MINUTES --IN NOVEMBER 14, 1991 by Birch Street and adjoins to the west the other addition that will be known as Black Duck Estates Second Addition. Black Duck Estates Second Addition will be 12.5 acres in size, with plans for 28 single family homes on lots approximately 2 acres. This addition is to the south and east of East Shadow Lake Drive. These developments will have to be re -platted, and have already been before the Design Review Board. Marty Asleson noted that park dedication had already been taken up several years back, but that Mr. Eibensteiner will have to meet trail requirements. Ken Johnson asked about the progress of the Weaver property near -by to the east. Marty Asleson explained to him that the developers may still come in, the issue is on hold until concerns regarding Captain's Place are resolved. Mr. Eibensteiner informed the board that the plans he is showing are what the council and the DRB chose. Marty Asleson explained to him, the need to get people from the Black Duck area out to the main flow and to the near -by parks. .x The Park Board suggested that Mr. Eibensteiner put a trail along the north side of Birch Street going East and west to the end of .-� the development. This trail should be off of the right-of-way. This will mean that the property owner of the lot on the corner of Outlot J and Birch Street would have to be contacted by Mr. Eibensteiner to negotiate having a trail run alongside his property. The house on the property does not sit very close to the road. Mr. Eibensteiner questioned whether he could put a trail off the right-of-way. Marty Asleson says yes, that he can have a his property platted to show a linear park, (not a trail) and would be owned and maintained by the city. He pointed out that the ordinance states that the trails are to be 15 feet wide with a crushed ag lime base and the city will do the bituminous. Bill Nissen commented that he can see advantages to a trail here. He thinks there is a lot of potential for a major link to Country Lakes Park with a linear park here. Mr. Eibensteiner mentioned that when he contacts the property owner he will be able to use as a negotiating tool, the fact that he has to bring sewer and water in to this development right by the property here, and this property owner will be accessible to it. Mr. Eibensteiner noted that this development is still in the preliminary stages, he still has to meet again with the City Planner, John Miller and also the council. Marty Asleson offered to be of help to Mr. Eibensteiner. As this development is still in the preliminary stages, no motion or recommendation is necessary at 3
