AGENDA ITEM 4.B2 <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Brian Wessel <br />DATE: 3/23/98 <br />TOPIC: Consideration of Resolution No. 98-45, supporting <br />the Land Exchange with Anoka County <br />BACKGROUND:, <br />This resolution summarizes the history of the land exchange with Anoka County. <br />It includes a review of the revisions in acreage agreed to as part of the <br />negotiations with the Metropolitan Parks and Open Space Commission, plus the <br />initial agreement to place all land not impacted by construction into a perpetual <br />conservation easement. As a part of the final agreement it was determined that <br />nine acres of excess land (4.5 wetland/4.5 upland) would remain in the regional <br />park. This returns control of the land to the County and will be included in its <br />Comprehensive Park Plan and trail construction program. Consequently, Anoka <br />County will convey to the City of Lino Lakes 14.72 acres of upland from the park <br />reserve for public purposes. <br />This resolution acknowledges the City's role in preserving the environmental <br />character of the site and providing a controlled access to the regional park. It <br />asks the County to recognize the City's part in improving the park system and to <br />pursue improvement of the trail system, including a Grand Round around <br />Marshan Lake. <br />OPTIONS: <br />1. Adopt Resolution No. 98-45 <br />2. Return to staff for further consideration. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />1. Option 1 <br />
