CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1994 The Church is requesting the revisiting of this dedication for the trail (park dedication) along Reshenau Lake. As is stated in Pastor Kendrick' s letter, the overall cost for the trail as per dedication agreement exceeds the costs that the church would have paid on a straight cash dedication. The church is thus proposing to dedicate the land for this trail and the remainder in cash for construction purposes. Pastor Kendrick was present to discuss this issue with the Park Board. He said through the process of negotiation this request is what they had arrived at. They are asking for a reconsideration because of the cost factor in erecting the trail. George asked, from an ordinance standpoint, if there was protocol in handling a situation like this. Marty responded that the Park Board would have to make a new motion. Mary Kay Wyland said that the dedication is not recorded with the plat at the county. She also stated that it would have to go to the City Council. Amy asked about the setback from the lake, was it in wetlands. Marty stated that it was out of the wetlands. George mentioned budgeting this project, in the future, if it was decided to reconsider the dedication. There was also discussion about setting precedence by doing this, whether other groups or developers would want to do this, how this would affect the goals set for 1995, whether the city would have to put the trail in or if a contractor would be hired, and that the transportation trail is not an issue in this change. It was brought up that in October of 1992 Bob Kirmis suggested that the city should amend its park dedication ordinance to reference specific regulations imposed on public/semi-public uses. This has not been done so the Park Board may want to revisit this in the near future. MOTION: Brian Bourassa made a motion, seconded by Amy Donlin to revise the original motion to require the transportation trail along Birch Street, as shown on the site plan, constructed to the gravel base according to the City' s standards. And secondly, to require a land dedication, as shown on the site plan, for 15 ' wide easement (no grading required, just for the easement) and a cash dedication equal to $7,250.00. Motion passed unanimously. After further discussion it was agreed that the church would be responsible for legal and survey costs. 2
