AGENDA 'TEM NO. 6B
STAFF ORIGINATOR Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: December 16, 2002
TOPIC: Consideration of Resolution 02-178, Approving
Quitclaim Deed for Trail Easement, Outlot C,
Pheasant Hills Preserve 11th Addition
VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority
BACKGROUND:
City Staff has attempted the past several years to provide a trail connection in the
northeastern portion of the Pheasant Hills Development (identified in the
Comprehensive Park Plan and Development Guide as Trail No. 43). This trail would
provide an additional connection to the Regional Park Reserve Trail System. Also, the
trail would complement the trail recently completed adjacent to Timberwolf Trail and
provide a nice trail loop for residents in the Pheasant Hills Development.
Past attempts to make this trail connection a reality has not been successful.
Last month, staff was approached by members of the Pheasant Hills Preserve
Homeowners Association regarding providing a path in the northeastern area of
Pheasant Hills. This trail is located in Outlot C of the Pheasant Hills 11th Addition. I
have attached a map indicating the location of the proposed trail. The approximately
700 feet long trail has recently been constructed with base material to raise it to the
proper elevation. Also, two culverts to provide drainage have been installed. Four
inches of aggregate and two inches of bituminous still need to be installed to complete
the trail.
The Park Board has recommended approval of the following arrangement for City
Council consideration:
The Pheasant Hills Home Owners Association will provide the following:
A commitment to remove trees damaged by the path construction and removal of
any fill material that has strayed from the construction area. (DONE)
2. A letter from the Rice Creek Watershed District indicating their approval of the
construction recently done. (DONE)
3. A signed quitclaim deed providing a 20' wide trail easement where the existing trail
is located. (DONE)
The City of Lino Lakes will be responsible for the following:
1 Reimburse the owner of Outlot C $750 for the installation of the culverts.
2. Pay for the aggregate that will be installed by the owner of Outlot C.
3. Commit to asphalt the trail when funds become available.
4. Continue this trail to connect with the existing Regional Park Reserve Trail System
when funds become available.
The estimated cost to complete the trail project, including material cost for the
aggregate, installation of the bituminous, and extending the trail to the Regional Park
Reserve Trail System is $35,000.
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 02-178 directing the City Attorney to execute
the quitclaim deed for a twenty foot wide trail easement on Outlot C, Pheasant Hills 11th
Addition.
