1 <br />027 <br />COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 25, 1988 <br />Mr. Bisel asked about a special hunting season for deer. He <br />noted that cars are having a very good harvest this year. <br />Mayor Benson thanked Chief Campbell and Mr. Rodahl for <br />coming this evening. He asked Chief Campbell to monitor the <br />hunting season this fall and give the Council an update <br />early in the winter. <br />CHAIN OF LAKES REGIONAL PARK <br />Mr. David Torkildson, Anoka County Parks Director and <br />Margaret Langfeld, Third Distrist County Commission were <br />asked by Mr. Schumacher to appear this evening to outline <br />the proposed development in the Chain of Lakes Regional <br />Park. Mr. Torkildsori handed a map to the Council showing <br />the development. He noted that he had appeared before the <br />Park Board and outlined the development for them. <br />The development currently planned is for forty tent sites, <br />fifty six RV sites, underground water, dump station, self <br />contained rest rooms, shower rooms, laundry facilities and a <br />contact station. There will be a full time person with a <br />RV or trailer for emergency purposes and night monitoring. <br />Rangers will patrol evenings and weekends and there will be <br />full -time park help during the day. <br />Mayor Benson expressed concern that Lino Lakes Police will <br />be called during the night and he was also concerned about <br />fire calls. Mr. Torkildson explained that the park closes <br />at 9:30 P.M. and the rangers will patrol until 2:00 A.M. <br />The on -site person will contact the sheriff if there is a <br />problem or the Lino Lakes Police if there is a life <br />threatening situation. He noted that Bunker Park has the <br />same facilities and there has been no problems there. <br />Mayor Benson asked who uses these types of facilities. Mr. <br />Torkildson explained it will be people from the Twin Cities <br />area. They are allowed to stay only three days and expected <br />that since there is not an exit from 35W there will not be <br />many passing by using the facilities. <br />Mr. Reinert asked about the boat access to George Watch <br />Lake. Mr. Torkildson felt it will be used mostly as a conoe <br />access for the present since the lake continues to die. He <br />is hopeful that something can be done to restore the lakes <br />and creeks in this area soon. He also noted that the <br />shoreline will remain mostly untouched. <br />PAGE 7 <br />
