Lino Lakes Public Services Department <br />600 Town Center Parkway <br />Lino Lakes, MN 55014 <br />(651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 <br />• <br />• <br />Memorandum <br />To: Mayor Bergeson and Council Members <br />From: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director <br />Date: September 6, 2000 <br />Re: LaCasse Drive Trail <br />As you recall, this item was discussed at the August 23 work session. Mr. and Mrs. <br />Petronack, 6601 Lacasse Drive, are requesting that the trail adjacent to their property not be <br />installed. <br />The trail was identified in July, 1998 when the preliminary plat identified an excessive block <br />length in the Clearwater Creek 3rd Addition. This excessive length was the result of a block <br />in the 3rd Addition being added to an existing block in the 2nd Addition. Since the total block <br />length of 1,700 feet exceeds the amount permitted by the subdivision ordinance, the <br />recommendation was to grant a variance for excessive block length on the condition that a <br />trail be placed in this location. <br />As discussed at the last work session, this trail is not a critical link from a trails standpoint. <br />The primary objective of this trail is to provide better pedestrian flow between the eastern <br />and western portions of the developments. <br />Mr. Quigley has indicated that should the city decide to vacate this trail, he will pay the city <br />$1,000 since he will not have to pay for the installation of the trail. <br />My recommendation is to have the developer construct the trail. However, should the city <br />council decide to vacate this trail, perhaps the city may want to consider not allowing <br />excessive block lengths in the future to avoid this problem. <br />12 /20 /00 <br />RD /Corr /CounciVlacasse trail vacation <br />
