CITY COUNCIL MEETING, APRIL 20, 1982 -7- 7. REGIONAL PARK AMENDMENTS - Continued -- Al Dornfeld —some cooperative arrangement should be worked out between the County, Met Council and Valley Branch. --Lockyear - in response to Mottaz's question on locating a land- fill site south/west of the park. Verified the Countv would lose designated funding if a landfill were located in the park. If this is the only place a landfill can go, a logical consideration would be to replace the site with additional property south/west of the park. This area will included in the County's search area for potential and viable sites. -- Eder - questioned the pine tree::thinnina operation on the Leo Raleigh farm. Would like a copy of the Forestry Department's report with an explaination of how the trees are being disposed of. Disappointeo in the response the City has ree.eive4 in the development of this -'plate. Very litte input from the City has been put into the (plan of the park. City is concerned,.and its efforts appear to be wasted. --Lockyear - also disappointed, have tried very hard to implement the kinds of ideas, that were felt to be good -and brought up by the City, and explain the ideas that did not meet the County's plans. - Removed the boat launch on the -,east side of the lake and the large parking facility for the launch -on the west side of the lake; removed the recreational camping from the north end of the park. These actions are a direct result of consultation with the Council. Want to be responsive. Plan is flexible - can be changed. Concerned about the points brought out regarding the horse issue, fishing issue and the northern service road - these have to be answered. Would prefer a less formal way of discussing issues. Intent is not to have the County ride roughshod over the City. --Morgan - reitterated concern about landfill, not only in the park, but anywhere in the City. --Mottaz - Lake Elmo has to fight any landfill in this area and wants to prevent this from becoming a 3,000 acre park. --Al Horning, Valley Branch - Until a comprehensive surface water management plan is developed,the watershed district cannot safely provide for high yield marshland. Eagle Point will have to fluctuate until another facility is available. 7.A.
