MINUTES OF THE PARK COMMISSION MEETING OF JULY 6, 1992 <br /> BIKE/HIKE TRAIL REPORT - CONT. <br /> Jabbour asked about connecting the trail to the newly proposed park <br /> at the old sewer pond site . <br /> Chair Flint noted that planning for the trail south of the Luce <br /> Line would be the next step. He asked Gerhardson about the <br /> feasibility of running the trail through the wooded area on the <br /> City facility property. <br /> Gerhardson said that it would require a lot of tree removal . The <br /> trees go all the way to the parking lot for the facility . There <br /> would be less destruction to the trees if the trail stayed within <br /> the right-of-way in that section . <br /> Chair Flint felt that because County Road 6 is wider and more <br /> traveled the trail should be further off the right-of-way than on <br /> Old Crystal Bay Road . He suggested Cook discuss the trail along <br /> County Road 6 with the County as they have studied the area. <br /> Wilson asked about the cost of the trail . <br /> Chair Flint said the estimated cost is $68,000 over the MSA <br /> fundings , which the County may be willing to pay. The County has <br /> been willing to pay $200,000, not including the cost within Baker <br /> Park . <br /> Butler asked how the schools sewer and water works into this <br /> project . <br /> Chair Flint explained that trail will �e directly over the area <br /> where the sewer and water pipes will run on Old Crystal Bay Road , <br /> and since the area woul � be disturbed to construct the trail , the <br /> water an� sewer could be provided at the same time . It is not <br /> essent � al to the trail , but would end up saving money in the long <br /> run . <br /> Butler stated there is a question of additional capacity of the <br /> sewer line , and noted she would not agree to anyone spending money <br /> without being assured that the additional service will be allowed <br /> in the future and the service will be needed within the life time <br /> of the pipe. She suggested the Park Commission not get into a <br /> discussion on providing municipal services . She added that the <br /> school may never realize the need to build additional facilities . <br /> Cha i r F I i nt sa i d that the cost of the t ra i I i nc I udes more than j ust <br /> the trail , and the more that can be eliminated , the easier it will <br /> be to get approval . He suggested making the municipal services an <br /> option . <br /> 3 <br />
