Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55014 (651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 www.ci.lino-lakes.mn.us 5, February 24, 2004 TO: Park Board Members FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director SUBJECT: Adopt 2004 Park Board Goals for City Council Consideration Listed below are the tentative Park Board Goals based on discussions the past few months: Please keep in mind that the estimated project costs are preliminary. • Extending Glenview Trail to Sunrise Park parking lot $ 3,000 • Pave Birch Park Trail- Boardwalk to parking lot $ 5,000 • Designate Raven's Hollow Park Dedication Funds to future $85,240 Birchwood Acres Park development • Construct trails at Birch Street \Hodgson Road intersection $50,000 • Holly Drive pole relocation for new trail $10,000 • Survey Arena Acres residents regarding existing tennis courts The following summarizes the possible trail project projects along Birch Street that have been discussed at the January and February Park Board Meetings. Birch Street — North Side from Black Duck Drive to Pheasant Hills Drive The estimated project cost is $237,000. This project will necessitate the extension of two 88" concrete arch pipes near Quail Ridge Park that must maintain the flow of water during construction. Several retaining walls to facilitate the trail construction are also included in project estimate. The estimated project costs do not adhere to the County's new standards of a 22' buffer zone from a rural roadway to the trail. Further discussions with Anoka County would need to occur to determine whether this project is acceptable. If Anoka County is unwilling to deviate from the 22' wide buffer zone on rural road sections, curb and gutter and storm sewer would need to be installed, since several areas along Birch Street do not provide adequate space to construct a trail with a 22' wide buffer (steep slopes, wetlands areas, etc). I met with Jon Vondelinde, Anoka County Parks and Recreation Director and Nick Eeloff, Anoka County Parks Planner last week to discuss the proposed trail project. Both have indicated their support to work with City staff when discussing this project with the Anoka County Highway Department. •
