5. <br />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 />December 23, 1999 <br />TO: Park Board Members <br />FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director <br />SUBJECT: Request to Purchase Park Land Near Fox Trace Development <br />Attached is a petition from residents of the Fox Trace Subdivision requesting purchase of <br />property for development of a neighborhood park. <br />The land that is referred to is located adjacent to the south edge of the Fox Trace Subdivision. <br />The eastern 4.8 acres (Parcel #8) is owned by R- Properties. The western most property <br />comprises of 2.5 acres and is owned by Mr. Harold Lehman. Parcel No. 7 is a one -acre piece <br />owned by Mr. John Toben. Since the petition was received on December 21, I have not had an <br />opportunity to explore any possible land acquisition. <br />The Comprehensive Park Plan and Development Guide does not identify a neighborhood park in <br />this area. The designated neighborhood park for the Fox Trace development is Birchwood Acres <br />Park which is located %2 to 3/4 miles from the Fox Trace Development. Access is available via <br />paved trails. The typical service area for a neighborhood park is '/4 to 1/2 mile radius. <br />I have invited Mr. Tom Kallevig and Mr. Brett Bauer to attend the Park Board meeting. <br />sw /parkbrd/Request to Purchase Park Land Near Fox Trace Development.doc <br />
