„^ MEMORANDUM Date: August 2, 1995 From: Marty Asleson To: Lino Lakes Park and Recreation Department Subject: Brandywood Park Masterplan This is a follow up on neighborhood input into the Brandywood Park master-plan. As you recall the Park Board had accepted the masterplan after several neighborhood meetings and a final meeting that was advertized to solicit public opinion and comment. Changes were made to this plan accordingly and the plan brought before the City Council for approval. This plan was approved by the council. Shortly after this council approval the department went to work on some of the field preparation work. At this time the residents in the immediate area of the park reacted by attending a council meeting to show disapproval. Please find attached a copy of the letter written to the council. After a few field meetings it was determined that the problem was not the master-plan that was approved, but the location of a wetland on the masterplan. This was a problem because of the intended buffer of trees that we determined to leave and the location of the trees on the backside of the wetland (which would screen the residents) , was thought to be needed to be removed by the residents when they viewed the master-plan. The wetland was drawn by Jeff Schoenbauer exactly as it was presented in the final plat description. The field observation the residents pointed out seems to indicate an inaccuracy in this plat drawing. I believe we now have an understanding with the neighborhood that the trees are to remain, and we are waiting a letter of petition from the concerned residents to proceed. The mayor requested that this be resolved before proceeding. I have been informed by the residents that this letter will be here today or tomorrow. There are some other items that were discussed and I will bring this to the Park Board meeting.
