A survey was then sent out to area residents to solicit feedback on this request (see attached Exhibit B). BACKGROUND 111 In September, 1999 the City obtained 5.5 acres of parkland in the Clearwater Creek Third Addition for a neighborhood park. In November, 2000 a master planning meeting was held to allow area residents an opportunity to provide input on what amenities they would like to be considered. A follow -up meeting was held to review and comment on some better defined scaled master plans. The final master plan was subsequently adopted by the City Council in 2001 (see attached Exhibit C). • In 2001, the City applied for and was awarded a $125,000 Outdoor Recreation Grant from the Minnesota DNR to develop Clearwater Creek Park. The park was developed during 2002 -2003. The park is fully developed per the adopted master plan with the exception of the sand volleyball court. SURVEY The attached survey was sent to 320 area residents on June 10. Seventy -three surveys were returned with the following results: YES 42 NO 25 DOESN'T MATTER 6 All comments from returned surveys have been compiled and are attached (see Exhibit D).
