Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55014 (651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 November 27, 2002 TO: Park Board Members FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director SUBJECT: Review Pheasant Hills Trail Proposal City Staff has attempted the past several years to provide a trail connection in the northeastern portion of the Pheasant Hills Development (identified in the Comprehensive Park Plan and Development Guide as Trail No. 43). This trail would provide an additional connection to the Regional Park Reserve Trail System. This trail would complement the trail recently completed off of Timberwolf Trail and provide a nice trail loop for residents in the Pheasant Hills Development. • Past attempts to make this trail connection a reality has not been successful. • Last month, I was approached by members of the Pheasant Hills Preserve Homeowners Association regarding providing a path in the northeastern area of Pheasant Hills. This trail is located in Outlot C of the Pheasant Hills 6th Addition. I have attached a map indicating the location of the proposed trail. The approximately 700 feet long trail has recently been constructed with base material to raise it to the proper elevation. Also, two culverts to provide drainage have been installed. Four inches of aggregate and two inches of bituminous still needs to be installed to complete the trail. Subsequent discussions have lead to the following recommendations for the Park Board to consider. The Pheasant Hills Home Owners Association will provide the following: 1. A commitment to remove trees damaged by the path construction and removal of any fill material that has strayed from the construction area. (DONE) 2. A letter from the Rice Creek Watershed District indicating their approval of the construction recently done. (DONE) 3. A signed quit -claim deed from Mr. Vaughan providing a 10' wide trail easement where the existing trail is located. 1
