PUBLIC INQUIRIES/PUBLIC INFORMATIONAL: A. Public Inquiries - None B. Design Team Visit Update Planner Terwedo gave an update on the Minnesota Design Team Visit and will place a summary of their visit in the City's newsletter. In six months, the Council will meet with the Design Team to discuss their progress. The city will schedule a town meeting to discuss the proposals raised by the visit. C. Entrance to Regional Park Mike Polehna, Washington County Park Director, informed the City Administrator that the St. Croix Brittany Club uses the gate to the western side of the Regional Park and have parked their cars without permission on the south edge of Lake Elmo Heights 3rd Addition or with permission on the Eberhard property. There are several dog clubs that use the park by a Special Use Permit for training dogs in the high grass to be tracked by horses. To get the equipment to the site that they use, this is the entrance that causes the least damage to the amenities of the park. Polehna pointed out the reason there is only one access to the Regional Park was because Lake Elmo would not have it any other way. The Council questioned whether or not the people have a permit when the gate is not opened and had a concern on the vehicles parked when it is not an improved driveway and not a safe access to County Road 13. At a reconstruction meeting for County Rd. 13, Don Theisen was asked since people use that entrance was the County planning on improving the driveway. He said he didn't know that was being used for an entrance. Administrator Kueffner will contact Mr. Theisen on this question. 4.
