. , . � <br /> MINUTES OF THE PARK COMMISSION MEETING OF JULY 6, 1992 <br /> BIKE/HIKE TRAIL REPORT - CONT. <br /> Vongries asked the criteria for establishing the "green area" on <br /> the map. <br /> Cook said that Hennepin County established those areas . <br /> Chair Flint said it was because of the configuration of the <br /> existing buildings on the property. He said at a public <br /> informational meeting , the residents along the proposed trailway <br /> did not provide much input on the proposat . <br /> Gerhardson stated that some residents did express concern about the <br /> trail running across their property too close to the house. <br /> Vongries expressed concern about changing from one type of trail <br /> to another. <br /> Butler said it is not uncommon to change types of trail . <br /> Chair Flint noted that the entire trail should be 8 foot wide. He <br /> added that along County Road 6, if the pavement is just widened , <br /> that area would be a 6 foot wide trail , but in his opinion a trail <br /> on the shoulder of County Road 6 would be too dangerous . The trail <br /> along County Road 6 also needed to be separated from the roadway. <br /> Cook added that the many mature plantings may have to be removed <br /> if the trail is located on the Old Crystal Bay Road right-of-way . <br /> He noted that replacement plantings will be much smaller , younger <br /> trees. This could be avoided if the trail were built on private <br /> land beyond the trees , which are mostly on the right-of-way. <br /> Chair Flint stated there is $45 ,000 estimated for removal of mature <br /> trees and replacements along the entire trail for the option that <br /> follows the right-of-way. He felt that it would be best to follow <br /> the existing right-of-way unless adjacent property owners wanted <br /> to grant an easement to allow the trail to be removed from the <br /> right-of-way. <br /> Gerhardson asked if the cost for the trail along County Road 6 has <br /> been separated out from the entire cost . <br /> Cook said there will be additional dollars included in the cost of <br /> the trail along County Road 6 on his revised plan which will show <br /> a separated trail . <br /> Chair Flint asked if that section will qualify for MSA funding . <br /> Gerhardson noted that Hennepin County planned to pay for that <br /> section of the trail . <br /> 2 <br />
