• • • Planning & Zoning Board May 14, 1997 Page 11 Park Board are recommending approval of this minor subdivision with the condition that Parcel A is dedicated to the City for park purposes. Mr. Tom Drow, 6317 Maple Lane, Colonial Woods, stated that there has been no notification to adjoining property owners. Ms. Wyland explained that a minor subdivision does not require notification. A public hearing is not required. At the public hearing for Miller's South Glen, future expansion and the park dedication were discussed. The addition of park land in this location is in the current Park Comp Plan and has been anticipated by the Park Board. Mr. Drow stated that he does not understand how land he does not own can qualify for park dedication, unless he owns it all and intends to develop in phases for the same subdivision. Mr. Carlson responded that during the preliminary stages of the development process when Miller's South Glen was being developed, he polled the adjacent neighbors, especially Birchwood Acres. People in Park Grove, and Birchwood Acres expressed concern about existing parks and encouraged him to find what they wanted. This is what they want, and the Park Board agreed. Mr. Drow asked what will happen to West Shadow Lake Drive. Ms. Wyland stated that West Shadow Lake Drive will tentatively be curved to avoid the wetland. The plan tentatively is to extend it to 62nd Street and ultimately connect to County Road J, but it could be a long time before this happens. Plans have existed for the road to go through, but the exact alignment has not been determined. Mr. Wessel noted that the property is in District 4. A District 4 meeting will be held as a neighborhood forum to receive public input on May 22, 1997. Issues related to land use should be raised at that meeting. Mr. Robinson stated that when Birchwood Acres was approved, the concept of West Shadow Lake Drive being extended to County Road J was discussed. It will be a future access through the area, as it is on relatively high ground all the way to Birch Street. Mr. Johnson made a MOTION to approve the minor subdivision at 599 62nd Street with the condition that Parcel A be dedicated to the City of Lino Lakes for park purposes as approved by the Park Board.
