Park Board <br />May 7, 2025 <br />pg. 2 <br /> <br /> <br />DRAFT MINUTES <br /> <br />and easterly along 20th Avenue South. The concept plan displays a total of (90) <br />residential lots that consist of 38 single family homes and 52 attached townhomes. <br />As discussed with the development of Nadeau Acres, The 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br />does not show this area as having a park or part of the greenway system. Rather, future <br />Neighborhood Park E is planned to the west. Development of the future park is <br />dependent on when the property owner chooses to develop their property. <br />Staff recommends 100% cash dedication in lieu of land. <br />Matt Phillips, 1931 Red Oak Lane, Lino Lakes, stated he is in favor of having a park in the <br />Nadeau neighborhood. Northpointe is the closest park to the development, and with all <br />the new construction and companies nearby, it's dangerous to have children on 20th <br />Avenue. Would also like a connection to the regional trail system. They stated that when <br />they reached out to Lino Lakes prior, they were told to go to the county, and the county <br />has no plans of expanding 20th Avenue in the future. <br />Justin Trowbridge, 1947 William Lane, Lino Lakes, from Nassau, discussed a trail <br />connection to 20th Avenue. <br />Rachel Pike, 1919 Red Oak Lane, Lino Lakes, stated she has three considerations for the <br />board to think about. First, a trail connection from Dupree Road and Center Street. If <br />that connection is not possible, could you at least consider connecting the southern trail <br />to Tower Park? Second, consider adding a park. Currently, if they want to visit a park, <br />they need to cross 20th Avenue, which is becoming more dangerous. Third, consider the <br />traffic impact on 20th Avenue if this development happens. <br />Mrs. Schmidt inquired as to adding a park, trails, or cash for land. How much would it <br />cost to add a park versus a trail connection to an existing park? <br />Mr. Huelman thanked the community for their input. Would like to look into a trail <br />system for residents to gain access to a park in a safe way. <br />Mrs. Ballering stated that 20th Avenue is a dangerous area and something needs to be <br />done with the traffic. <br />Mr. DeGardner discussed the economics of a neighborhood park. <br />Mr. Huelman stated he was hoping for an east-west corridor along Birch Street for <br />access to Tower Park. <br />Mr. DeGardner stated that another possibility would be a controlled pedestrian <br />intersection.
