CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, MAY 1, 1995 PROJECT UPDATES: RICE LAKE ESTATES Marty said this is a joint park between the City of Lino Lakes and the City of Circle Pines in the Rice Lake Estates area. He said the neighborhood has meet with the City of Circle Pines Park Board regarding this park. Marty continued by saying Jeff Schoenbauer, the City of Lino Lakes Park Planner, is now working with the City of Circle Pines so we are on the same note. He said they have looked at the two lots in the area (Lot 2, Block 1, the farthest north lot and Lot 1, Block 2 the farthest south lot) to get cost figures to make them buildable lots. The first lot is $11, 300, (assuming a permit can be attained) . This includes mobilization, common excavation, clearing trees, restoration, and silk fence. He said the idea is to take the lots and sell them and invest the joint park idea. He said the $11,300 figure may be reduced if we can come up with the fill which will cost approximately $5, 000 . He said they went out and dug test holes and the first lot seemed to be an okay lot to improve. To make the second lot buildable the cost would be ,.1 $37, 900. When a test probe was set it did not bottom out. There would be a lot of organic material that would have to be taken out of that lot. Amy wanted to know why we had this property as park land. Marty said that is what we took as dedicated park land, the builder was suppose to make them buildable lots and he went bankrupt. MOTION: Sharon Lane made a motion to submit plans to the Rice Creek Water Shed District for approval. Pam Taschuk second the motion and it passed unanimously.
