-2- MSP (Haake/Silvis) that the Mounds View Parks and Recreation Coirenission recommends that the Mounds View City Council ask comment and review from the Mounds View Planning Commission and ta direct the City staff to begin negotiations with Kraus- Anderson to exchange or swap the City'S 16.9 acres of park land in the southwest corner of the Minar/Kraus-Anderson/Engetsma property for 16.9 acres located in approximately the northwest corner of said property in addition to two more park land acquisitions to be imnediately adjacent to the northwest corner as foliows: (7) 10% land dedication through the Park and �iecreation Fund at the time of subdivision. (2) Purchase as many acres as possible with the $136,800 LAWCON Grant. If said acquisition cannot be consumated, then we recomnend the first and second edition as stated above be applied to the southwest corner as originally planned. We also recomnend that whichever site is chosen, that the City acquire trail corridor easements through the entire Minar/ Kraus-Anderson/Engelsma property for access to Silver View Park from County Road H-2, County Road I, Sitver Lake Road and Long Lake Road, plus an 8-foot easement be provided by Kraus- Anderson around the proposed Oak Lake. We also support the Kraus-Anderson proposal for low to medium density housing as the major development concept for the property in question.

The fencing issue was raised by Councit directive because of residents concerns for heatth and safety problems along Silver lake Road abutting Woodcrest Park. Staff reviewed the Woodcrest Park site and recommended that fencing not be installed because of the cost and practicality of such a fence: Staff in turn recomnended that sane form of a p7anting barrier be installed to detract any toddlers fran wandering into the ditch.
