MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> Monday,November 4,2019 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> 6. The picnic table and shade sail at the community garden was reduced to zero from $7,000. The <br /> removal was based on guidance received at the October Park Commission work session. This <br /> item may be replaced by a future trail connection from Willow Drive to Long Lake's park. <br /> Carter asked how far along the plan is for the East Long Lake Road to trail. <br /> Edwards indicated archeological work has been completed as well as the survey work. <br /> Carter asked if the road to trail and the beach improvements are two distinct drawings. <br /> Edwards indicated the road to trail has a master plan that was developed a couple of years ago and the <br /> park improvements were based on past cost. <br /> Carter requested he be provided with a copy of the master plan. Carter asked whether the Park <br /> Commission is spending a lot less in 2021 because there is less money or perhaps not as many <br /> improvements are required. <br /> Edwards stated a lot of stuff wound up in the 2020 budget. The CSAH 112 phase three trail project is <br /> based on the projection when the road project is currently scheduled by Hennepin County. The <br /> Hackberry improvements are scheduled for 2023 and would be triggered by the acquisition of some <br /> property in that area. <br /> Carter requested the CIP include the Comprehensive Plan changes. <br /> Edwards noted the column on the right highlights that. <br /> Carter commented he does not have a problem with leaving the parking lot on here but that more <br /> information is needed before spending that amount of money. <br /> Edwards noted each of these projects have to go before the City Council to be approved and that the CIP <br /> is merely a planning level document. <br /> Meyers stated in his view it should be kept on the CIP but that does not mean the Park Commission has to <br /> go forward with the project. <br /> Edwards noted none of the projects listed have been approved for construction. <br /> Roath asked what the$140,000 encompassed for Summit Beach. <br /> Edwards indicated it was mainly the parking lot and that Staff pulled out some of the possible <br /> improvements since it sounded like the layout of the park might change given the proposal by the rowing <br /> club. <br /> Roath stated they should not assume a certain outcome for the rowing club and that they should keep it at <br /> the$140,000. <br /> Edwards stated it was more associated with the trail improvements,the sun sails,and dock accessories. <br /> Page 12 of 15 <br />
