Funding was approved by the City <br />Council for the redesign of the Park and work has begun on the <br />trail system. Mr. Asleson displayed the new design for the Park. <br />He noted that a public hearing was held and citizens were given <br />an opportunity to provide input in the redesigned plan. <br />The new design separates the Park into two (2) sections; 1) a <br />semi -active section, and 2) a passive area.- A trail will be <br />coming to Country Lakes Park from the Country Lakes Estates <br />subdivision and the parking lot has been moved closer to West <br />Shadow Lake Drive. There will be an internal looping trail <br />system and a portion of the trail may be 10 feet wide for <br />emergency purposes. A cooperative effort with Centennial Schools <br />will improve the beach area providing a cove atmosphere and berm <br />areas on both sides of the beach which will be used by <br />pedestrians. The canoe launch area will be moved nearer to the <br />fishing dock. Building facilities are planned for the future. <br />The entire site can be used cooperatively by the City and the <br />Centennial School District. <br />Mr. Asleson has met with both the Department of Natural Resources <br />(DNR) and the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) regarding the <br />redesigned park plan. Both entities have reviewed the plan. <br />PAGE 1 <br />269 <br />
