Discussion on MN Off -Road Cyclists <br />Steve Hanke, Hugo resident presented information about MORC (MN Off -Road Cyclists) and <br />discussed trail options to consider for the Hansen property. Existing trail systems are in Inver <br />Grove Heights (multi -use) and Elk River (bike only). No other off road trail system exists close <br />to our community. Commission discussed options of multi -use trails, horse trails and biking only <br />trails. All Parks Commission members agreed that a Sub -Committee needs to be formed to <br />discuss these options further and research the trail systems of other cities for this type of use. <br />Keeping in mind that this property will be utilized with ball fields and any use at this time will be <br />an interim pending additional development. Clarke and Windisch volunteered to be on the Sub - <br />Committee. <br />Shayla Syverson, Parks Planner informed that Jyneen Thatcher of the Washington <br />Conservation District has offered to walk the Hansen property to do a site inventory on the <br />wetlands and plants for use in future concept development plans.
