PARR BOARD MINUTES SEPTEMBER 5, 1991 walks could run some $40,000 to $50,000. for this project. George Lindy asked Marty Asleson to talk to the homeowner on Rice Lake Court about getting a trail access through her yard. If that's not possible then the second choice would be to come south along the lot edges of the Wenzel property and loop up to connect to Rice Lake Court. Marty Asleson noted that the City Attorney says it would be all right to put a bike trail on a utility easement, it would just be a matter of changing the plat. George Lindy commented that only 8 houses are involved and that there is not much traffic, the main issue here is to gain access to Sunrise Park and do it as economically and reasonably as possible. "Basically, we are looking for ways for Wenzel Farms to access the park". He made a recommendation that City Staff discuss the trail/easement use with the two homeowners involved on Rice Lake Lane/Court in order to gain access to Ulmer Drive, and also suggested that all the park board members drive through the area and familiarize themselves with it, and be ready to discuss it further at the next park board meeting. There was no further discussion on this issue. George Lindy thanked Mr. Gray for his time and research. WEAVER PROPERTY - Marty Asleson reported that there are some legalities involved with Captain's Place, the proposed street that could possibly be used in the trail system here. Marty reported that the City Administrator suggested postponing any investigative trail work until the property is re -zoned. He (Marty) would also like to wait, for budget reasons. Marty Asleson has talked with Paul Brandt, the neighborhood spokesperson for the people from the Black Duck Drive area who want a park in their neighborhood. Marty reports that Mr. Brandt seems satisfied that we keep him informed of any progress on parks in this area. It looks as though there is a strong possibility that we would have to use the volunteer labor from the neighborhood in developing a park here. LINO DAYS - Marty Asleson reported that Lino Days on August 18 went off very well. There were recreation activities, volleyball, etc. It was much better organized than last year. It took some time and some cooperative efforts, but the park got ready. There are already some suggested events for next years celebration that would include a foot race, medallion hunt, etc. Marty thinks that next years celebration could be a 2 day event. The Parks and Recreation Department is currently preparing for Sandburr Days coming up this week -end. H
