CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1994 adopted before March 30, 1995) To avoid problems that the city has had in the past on shoreland issues it was suggested that the developer may wish to dedicate shoreland as park land. She continued by saying the issue was brought to the City Council asking them if they wanted to see this as park land or private property in an association type situation. The Council wanted to know what the DNR and County thought. She continued by saying the DNR and County both agree that they would be cooperative, with the City, if it were in deed City property and wanted to put in a canoe launch. At the last City Council Work Session they asked what the Park Board thought of this idea and that is why it is being presented this evening. Amy asked what the lake classification is. She is concerned that jet skis will be allowed to ran on this lake if there is a launch. Marty stated that if it was designated a publically owned canoe launch the City would be able to control it by ordinance. George asked if the ordinance could specify no motorized launching. Marty responded that it is done that way on Golden Lake. Marty showed that the lineal trail corridor runs the length of the lake on the eastern side of the development. He said it is separated -very little by highland areas. Kirk Corson talked about the development and what the DNR and County wanted to see done with this area. He stated that there are many factors that are going to have an impact on this project. He hoped the Park Board would review this issue and report back to the City Council. There was discussion as to who would have jurisdiction and whether they would be the enforcing agent, the rating of Bald Eagle Lake, the possibility of the Park and Recreation Department having a canoe rental/launch and maintaining the access, park buffers, parking, public meetings, and the impact of canoe access on other area lakes. After additional discussion it was decided that the Park Board preferred the highland area. A. Recreation Complex: Marty told the Board that he had received a letter from Kate Drewry, Rice Creek Watershed District. He read the letter to the Board. He was concerned about the 100 year flood plain plan, but it does not have to be done until we start the development of a site plan and hire a contractor. He said we do not have contours for the area and will have to purchase contour maps and work with an engineer on n drainage elevations for the development. He has talked to Rocky 4
