• • City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting October 4, 1999 Pat asked if there will be problems replacing the boardwalk when the park is developed. Rick advised the Rice Creek Watershed District has indicated the boardwalk can be replaced because it is a critical connection to an active park. Pam Taschuk made a motion, seconded by Chris Welsand, to remove the boardwalk at Quail Ridge. Motion carried unanimously. Behm's Century Farm Park Development Update - At the July 12, City Council meeting, the Council approved selling 2.55 acres of City property in Behm's Century Farm Park. The proceeds are to be used for development of the remaining park land (6 acres). Mr. Uhde has agreed to provide the following scope of work: • Clearing and grubbing all areas for bike paths and active play areas and removing storm damaged trees and groundf al l . • Install all necessary silt fence and erosion control. • Perform park grading including grading for trails, play area, and drainage. • Tillage of existing soils in all open areas to prepare for seeding. • Installation of trails including 4" sub -base. The estimated project costs of the above listed items is approximately $52,000. Mr. Uhde has agreed to provide a summary of development costs. If total development costs are less than $75,000, Mr. Uhde will submit a cashiers check for the difference. It is anticipated that the additional amount will be used for irrigation, seeding, and paving trails. Rick referred to a grading plan for the park area. The eastern trail is located within a 50' wide strip of park land leading to Mustang Lane. An additional trail connection is also located in the northeastern portion of the park which lines up with the trail connection to the 5th Addition. Rick noted the inside of the trail loop will be leveled and prepared for seeding. Areas outside the trail loop will be kept in its natural state. It is anticipated that the southeastern portion of the park will be kept more of a natural area which may include prairie grass, etc.
