Park Board Meeting - April 7, 2003 <br />Minutes <br />• The April 7, 2003 City of Lino Lakes Park Board meeting was <br />called to order at 6:30pm, by Chair Lindy. <br />• <br />• <br />Roll call was taken, members present were Pam Taschuk, Katie <br />Boyle, Michael O'Connor, Bill Kusterman, Paul Montain and George <br />Lindy. Members absent were Pat Huelman. <br />Also present was Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director. <br />APPROVAL OF FEBRUARY 3, 2003 MINUTES: <br />Pam Taschuk made a motion, seconded by Bill Kusterman, to approve <br />the February 3, 2003 minutes. The minutes were approved with <br />Paul Montain abstaining. <br />SETTING THE AGENDA: <br />The Agenda was passed as presented. <br />OPEN MIKE: <br />No one was present for open mike. <br />DISCUSS RAVENS HOLLOW PRELIMINARY PLAT: <br />Rick advised Ravens Hollow overlays approximately 22 acres of <br />land located south of 62nd Avenue between Hodgson Road and Ware <br />Road. The development consists of 40 single family residential <br />homes. <br />A trail exists across the northern edge of the site, connecting <br />Hodgson and Ware Roads. The Comprehensive Park Plan and <br />Development Guide does not indicate a neighborhood park for this <br />area. Birchwood Acres Park, located approximately 1/2 mile <br />directly east, could serve as the neighborhood park proposed <br />development. The City recently acquired park land that will <br />provide contiguous park land from the existing Birchwood Acres <br />Park to 62nd Avenue. This is also indicated in the master plan <br />for Birchwood Acres Park. With the planned reconstruction of <br />62nd, a trail on the north side will provide pedestrian access to <br />Birchwood Acres Park. <br />City staff has received a few telephone calls the past few years <br />inquiring about the possibility of the City acquiring park land <br />closer to the Fox Trace Development. Since Ravens Hollow is <br />directly south of Fox Trace, land acquisition should be <br />considered. Rick referred to a letter concerning this issue that <br />was included in the packets. <br />Staff is recommending 100% cash dedication for the Ravens Hollow <br />development. Perhaps the park dedication revenue generated from <br />Ravens Hollow could be designated to further develop Birchwood <br />Acres Park. <br />1 <br />
