Item: 6
ITEM: Discussion on Sunfish Lake Park Area 2 concept plan development.
REQUESTED BY: Carol Kriegler, Project Assistant
_______________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED:
The recently approved Sunfish Lake Park Conservation Easement to the Minnesota Land Trust
states that Area 2 of the park, a 20 acre portion, may have limited development for education,
outdoor recreation and nature observation purposes, in accordance with a city approved park
concept plan. This city is to provide the Land Trust with a concept plan by late 2009.
In an effort to make progress in the development of the concept plan, interested commission
members were invited to a small working group session in late May. Judith Blackford, Rolf
Larson and park commission applicant Marty Dobbs attended the meeting. The group made a
site visit that afternoon and developed an outline that has since been used as a resource for the
creation of a concept site plan and associated narrative.
The Commission is being asked to review the site plan and associated narrative, discuss and
revise them as is considered appropriate.
