Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department <br />600 Town Center Parkway <br />Lino Lakes, MN 55014 <br />(651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 <br />May 3, 2001 <br />TO: Park Board Members <br />FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director <br />SUBJECT: Trapper's Crossing Trail Update <br />As you recall, the City has attempted to secure a trail connection from the Trapper's Crossing <br />Development to Birch Park for several years. <br />In November, 2000 the city reached an agreement with the Whitcombs to purchase two acres of <br />land for $6,000. After several unsuccessful attempts to schedule a closing date, I was notified <br />that the Whitcombs have decided not to sell the two acres of land to the city. Mr. Whitcomb <br />indicates that if and when they decided to sell their land, they will sell the entire 20 acre parcel as <br />one piece. <br />It appears that the important trail connection to Birch Park will not happen in the near future <br />unless the Park Board and City Council feel it is necessary to begin condemnation proceedings. <br />If I hear that the Whitcombs are selling their property, I will notify the Park Board. <br />sw /parkbrd/Misc.
