MINUTES OF THE PARK COMMISSION MEETING OF APRIL 6, 1992 <br /> BIKE/HIKE TRAIL - CONT. <br /> Hennepin Park Commissioner Bonien stated that she was in attendance <br /> to ensure natural vegetation would be protected along the trail . <br /> She stated that residents do want to have more trail systems . <br /> White stated that it is possible the trail could be started this <br /> summer but probably would not be realized within the summer of <br /> 1992 . He asked that the City make a recommendation on the trail <br /> within 60 days . <br /> Ilse asked if all affected residents were informed . <br /> Gerhardson noted all residents along the trail to Noerenberg Park <br /> were informed . He noted the only concern he had received was from <br /> the Hyles as it is relatively close to their property. <br /> Craig Brandenburg , 2775 Silver View Drive, asked where the <br /> additional drainage would go, and noted additional water could <br /> create quite a problem for a parcel . <br /> Gerhardson noted it would go by pipe rather than by ditch to the <br /> railroad right-of-way. It could be connected to existing culverts . <br /> This would have to be addressed if the trail is approved. <br /> Chair Flint thanked the residents for their input on this matter . <br /> He expressed appreciation for the large turn-out . <br /> Johnston asked what the amount of the drainage costs wou � d be. <br /> Wilson wasn ' t clear if the County would pay for the screening along <br /> the trail . <br /> Johnston noted the amount quoted for the project is approximately <br /> 50% higher than the average cost of a trail . He stated that the <br /> County is considering the storm sewer project to be approximately <br /> the same cost as the additional acquisition of land , and the County <br /> is expecting the City to pay for the storm sewer if that is the <br /> option that is approved . <br /> Gerhardson noted the cost for the storm sewer can be appropriated <br /> through MSA funds . He thought the County is looking for conceptual <br /> approval of the project so they can proceed with the first phase <br /> of the project . He felt that they could get conceptual approval <br /> from Council of the entire project . A feasibility study may be <br /> required to use the MSA funds . <br /> It was moved by Ilse, seconded by McMillan , to recommend conceptual <br /> approval of the bike/hike trail connecting Baker Park to the Luce <br /> Line Trail with a trail along the east side of Old Crystal Bay <br /> Road . <br /> 7 <br />
