/ ', � , <br /> MINUTES OF THE PARK COMMISSION MEETING OF APRIL 6, 1992 <br /> BIKE/HIKE TRAIL - CONT. <br /> A. Reviewed all properties along roadway and wherever <br /> there was undeveloped land , it was suggested that <br /> additional right-of-way be acquired . Where there was <br /> existing developed land with a setback close to the road , <br /> it was opted to use the existing right-of-way for the <br /> trail . <br /> B. This option would put the trail totally within the <br /> existing road right-of-way and would require some storm <br /> sewer improvements . <br /> Milier noted they weighed the cost of the storm sewer versus <br /> acquisition of land. <br /> Chair Flint noted they had looked at a third alternative , that <br /> being not running along Old Crystal Bay Road and using land away <br /> from existing roads . This was determined not to be a viable option <br /> because there being no cost effective way to cross Highway 12 and <br /> the Burlington Northern tracks . <br /> Miller reviewed a map that compared Options A and B. The entire <br /> trail will be about 2 . 6 miles from the Luce Line Traii up to and <br /> including the section in Baker Park . The additional acquisition <br /> for Option A represents a total of 5 . 37 acres . The total <br /> developmental cost of the trail would be approximately $200,000 . <br /> AIl of the land acquisition for Option A occurs in the undeveloped <br /> property adjacent to the trail within three significant areas: <br /> Watertown Road area; south of County Road 6; and north of County <br /> Road 6 . Additional engineering costs and construction costs wou � d <br /> be incurred with Option B as storm sewer would need to be provided . <br /> King explained that the trail wou � d be an 8' wide , asphalt paved <br /> bike/hike trail , similar to the trail through Baker Park . <br /> Gerhardson stated that the Bridge across the railroad is proposed <br /> to be expanded to at least a 12 ' driving lane wide with a 4' wide <br /> walk on each side . <br /> Bridget Hust , 820 Old Crystal Bay Road South , asked why the trail <br /> was not proposed for the west side of the road which would take the <br /> children directly to the school without crossing over the road . <br /> Miller stated that the parcel between County Road 6 and Highway 12 <br /> is entirely owned by the public with the exclusion of the church <br /> property. There is a signal at the intersection of Highway 12 and <br /> Old Crystal Bay Road and a Stop Sign at the intersection of County <br /> Road 6 and Old Crystal Bay Road and the roadway is not heavily <br /> trafficked , thus allowing for crossing over. Also the power line <br /> on the west side of the road was a deterrent . <br /> 2 <br />
