Public Informational: <br />(1) Margaret Carlson — Update on Lake Elmo Park Regional Master Plan: <br />Margaret Carlson presented a report regarding the status of the New Lake Elmo Regional <br />Park Reserve Plan, as recently approved by Washington County. She outlined the <br />numerous modifications and additions to Park facilities that are incorporated in the new <br />Plan, including: new amphitheatre, equestrian trails, lighted ski trails, a Highway 5 trail <br />underpass, and handicapped accessibility to the boat dock. <br />Discussion followed about the proposed changes to the original 1978 Park Plan, and <br />where the City could provide input. The Council questioned the current "Reserve" status <br />formula being utilized, and how could it be maintained to protect and perpetuate that <br />Reserve status of the Park. The Council also questioned what the conditions were in the <br />1978 agreement with the City regarding development of the Park. <br />Mayor Johnston suggested inviting Ms. Carlson to a future Council Workshop to discuss <br />the Regional Park Reserve Plan in greater detail. <br />LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES draft MAY 16, 2006 <br />2 <br />
