City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting June 7, 1999 Paul stated he does have concern regarding the City selling park property. However, he added he wants to hear how the residents feel about the revised plan. Pat stated he is also opposed to selling park property. He noted that the project is predicated on a bigger better park at sometime in the future. Mr. Uhde stated he does have a concept plan of the larger park. The plan will be reviewed by the City Planner later this week. Ms. Deb Peterson, 208 Palomino Lane, came forward an asked when the $35,000 in the Park Fund will be used for a play structure in the park. Chair Lindy stated the play structure installation will be the first priority once the ground is ready. Mr. Greg Gifford, 214 Palomino Lane, came forward and stated he was led to believe from the designs that there would be a park there connected by a trail. Access to the park without having to cross Lilac Street is very desirable. He stated he is in favor of the revised plan. Chair Lindy asked if the homeowners most affected by the plan are happy with the revisions. The homeowners indicated they are happy with the revised plan. Ms. Lawrence came forward again and expressed concern regarding the lack of parking. She also asked if there is funding for the trail connection from Behm's 5th Addition. Chair Lindy stated money is budgeted each year for trails. Every year the trails are prioritized regarding completion. Ms. Lawrence stated that if there is no trail connection children will still have to cross Lilac Street to get to the park. Rick stated without a developed park the trail connection is a low priority. The trail connection would become a higher priority when the park is developed. Chair Lindy added that the intent of smaller parks is for the park to be for the neighborhood. Large parking areas are not needed in smaller parks. R 3
