• <br />• <br />City of Lino Lakes <br />Park Board Meeting <br />November 1, 1999 <br />area is provided. The park area is directly related to <br />the proposed Bluebill Ponds Development. It is <br />imperative that as these two projects continue through <br />the process that the proposed park areas are analyzed <br />together to ensure the future neighborhood park will be <br />functional. It is staff's understanding that road <br />locations may be modified as the Highland Meadows and <br />Bluebill Ponds platting process continues. This may <br />alter the shape and size of the proposed park area. <br />Chair Lindy asked why there is an Outlot D on the revised plat. <br />Ms. Shari Ahrens, Engineer for TSM Development, came forward and <br />stated that property is currently in litigation. The developer <br />hopes to acquire that property and reserve it for future <br />development. <br />Rick advised that the road may be reconfigured so the plat may <br />change again. He stated he concurs with the two trail <br />connections and thinks Outlot C is a good area for the park. As <br />development occurs, the City should look at purchasing additional <br />park property. <br />Chair Lindy asked why the park size has been reduced. Rick <br />advised the developer does not have control of the property to <br />the north. Because of that, the location of the street is <br />unknown. The developer has not yet platted Outlot D. The City <br />can however, begin discussions with the developer regarding the <br />purchase of additional park land. <br />Jeff stated it is difficult to make a decision without knowing <br />about the property that is in litigation. Rick advised that with <br />the present plat, the City is at the 10% land dedication <br />requirement. <br />Chair Lindy noted the proposed Comprehensive Plan recommends a 10 <br />acre park in this area. <br />Pam Taschuk made a motion, seconded by Joe Boyle, to accept <br />Outlot C as part of park dedication with the understanding that <br />staff will pursue obtaining additional land as indicated in the <br />Comprehensive Park Plan. Motion carried unanimously. <br />Jeff Reinert made a motion, seconded by Chris Welsand, to allow a <br />• 15' wide trail in Outlot A and leaving Outlot I as noted. Motion <br />carried unanimously. <br />2 <br />
