CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, APRIL 3, 1995 This area according to Jeff Schoenbauer was probably the most difficult to achieve the linear trail corridor concept. About the only passable location for this corridor was through the air park traversing at a northeast angle. It is thought that at this time the best opportunity to achieve a linear park trail in this area of the city would be the loop segment 5, 6, 7, and 8, and to connect into this via transportation trails along 4th Avenue. John Johnson, representative for Gary Uhde and Jeff Schoenbauer were present to give additional information and answer questions the Park Board may have. Ken wanted to know when the road adjacent to the park would be going in. John responded between the years 1996 and 2000. Pam asked the price range of the homes that would be going in Phase 1. John said between $110, 000 and $130, 000 with upper bracket homes in later phases. Amy questioned why the air park wanted homes built near the air park. John said the air park could receive association dues from people to help maintain the air park. After additional questions and discussion the Park Board decided not to take action on this development concept because of the uncertainties concerning the provision of trails with respect to wetland issues and with particular concerns for pedestrian access to the dedicated park area from Phase 1. There was also concern for the placement of the required transportation trail along Lilac Street to the Park, as well as future trail corridor access to Carl Street in proposed Phase 5 . The Park Board resolved to support the developers proposal for creative design and the use of berms to traverse wet areas through correspondence with the Watershed Board. The Park Board will take action on this development dedication issue when definitive questions concerning trails are answered. It was recommended, that at a staff level, a letter of support be written to the Rice Creek Water Shed District. Marty said he would take care of this and fax it to the RCWSD. PLAYGROUND INSPECTION: Marty said he is a certified National Playground Safety Inspector and has shared this information with our maintenance staff. Mike Hoffman did a hazard rating on the equipment in the parks and City Hall Park was ranked highest with a rating of 50 percent. He then went over the audit summary that was done. Marty suggested that the Park Board make a recommendation to replace old pieces of equipment over the years. 5
