r MSP (Haake/Silvis) that the Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commission recommends that the Mounds View City Council ask 411111 comment and review from the Mounds View Planning Commission and to 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/Engelsma property for 16.9 acres located in approximately the northwest corner of said property in addition to two more park land acquisitions to be immediately adjacent to the northwest corner as follows: (1 ) 10% land dedication through the Park and Recreation 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 recommend the first and second edition as stated above be applied to the southwest corner as originally planned. We also recommend 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, Silver 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. 411111 Commissioner Haake then made a second motion as follows: MSP (Haake/Weflen) that the Parks and Recreation Commission recommend that the Planning Commission support and endorse previous action taken by the Parks Commission by making their own motion including the following two points : (1 ) Reiterating Parks and Recreation recommendations to the Mounds View City Council . (2) Define and delineate the recommended planning policy for the entire east side of Silver Lake Road from County Road I to County Road H-2 and for the southwest corner of the Minar/Kraus-Anderson/Engelsma property as the park is to be relocated to the northwest corner. The motion passed. 0 Nays 8 Ayes Park Fencing Park Director Anderson reviewed the staff report as presented Policy to the Parks and Recreation Commission concerning the City' s policy in regards to fencing wet or potential water hazards. The fencing issue was raised by Council directive because of residents concerns for health 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 11111 recommended that some form of a planting barrier be installed to detract any toddlers from wandering into the ditch.
