recommended priority. <br />1. 551h Street to Sanctuary. <br />2. In Carriage Station Marquess Trail south to 50th Street. <br />3. Klondike Avenue entrance into the park reserve (2500 lineal feet). <br />4. one -quarter mile more trail could be constructed in 2006. <br />M/S/P, T. Bouthilet/Ames to recommend construction of trails on the vacated portion of 55th Street <br />and Marquess south to 50th Streets as described in the Planner's Staff Memo of March 17, 2006. <br />Vote: 9:0. <br />M/S/P, T. Bouthilet/Ames to recommend construction of an estimated 2,500 feet of trail in the Old <br />Village along Klondike Avenue to the park reserve with no parking allowed anywhere along the trail. <br />Vote: 9:0. <br />Commissioner T. Bouthilet said people are already going into the park reserve illegally via Klondike <br />Avenue, and construction of the trail there would legitimize what people are already doing there now. <br />The 33`d Street segment would be a natural tie-in for the Klondike Trail but it is longer than one - <br />quarter mile. <br />The Planner said our engineer will determine the start and end point of trails. They can also look at <br />the segment along 33`d Street to determine feasibility for just grading or whether to construct one-half <br />of it this year. <br />6. City Council Update <br />The Council adopted the change to the CIP increasing money allocated for the Park Plan Update and <br />advised staff to begin the RFP process to hire a consultant. <br />6.5 Developer Request for an East-West Trail Segment for Discover Crossing <br />Chairman Schumacher received a call from the developer of Discover Crossing. He said the city was <br />originally planning a road there and now they are not and he would like to see a trail link there <br />instead. <br />The Planner said that developer is asking for an amendment to the Trail Plan to have a northern loop <br />from Sanctuary, across Discover Crossing, and to Hidden Meadows. Such a change would require a <br />comprehensive plan amendment. <br />Commissioner T. Bouthilet suggested not amending a Trail Plan we haven't even begun yet. <br />Commissioners Wagner and Steele agreed. Commissioner Ames said there are three loops that will <br />not connect to anything else. <br />Adjourned at 8:19 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Kimberly Anez <br />Recording Secretary <br />Lake Elmo Parks Commission Meeting Minutes of March 20, 2006 <br />
