MEMORANDUM <br />TO: All Park Board Members <br />FROM: Marty Asleson <br />DATE: July 31, 1991 <br />SUBJECT: Wenzel Development Agenda Item <br />The Wenzel Farms Development final plat has been approved. One <br />contingency that was placed on the release of the plat was that the <br />developer widen the erroneously platted 10' wide linear park trails <br />to 15' wide. Another issue that developed at the concept stage was <br />that a 1 acre or less mini park would be provided in a central <br />location in the development, and an access to Sunrise Park be <br />provided for an activity area. This concept falls within our <br />standards and guidelines that have been used by the Metropolitan <br />Council and National Recreation Parks associations. <br />The trail was to traverse through the drainage easement on the <br />south side of the development going west. Another idea that has <br />recently surfaced is to attempt to have the utility easement going <br />through into the development from Rice Lake, changed to <br />utility/park easement on the plat, This would be a much more cost <br />effective method to get people through. This would also be <br />contingent upon contacting the abutting property owners. This is a <br />new idea, however,we do need to look at this issue now. There are <br />houses going up. <br />
