MINUTES OF THE PARK COMMISSION MEETING OF MARCH 1 , 1993 <br /> (�5) WILLOW DRIVE UPGRADE 12-6 - JOHN R. GERHARDSON <br /> Chair Flint revlewed the question as to whether or not the <br /> Commission should recommend the construction of a bike/hike trail <br /> along Willow Drive during the road improvement process. He felt if <br /> the tra11 is approved, it should run on the west side of the road <br /> f rom H i ghway 12 to at I east Ke I I ey Parkway so that i t cou i d connect <br /> to the planned east/west trail along the north side of Kelley <br /> Parkway. <br /> Gerhardson noted the Cfty has dedicated a 10' wide bike/hfke trail <br /> easement along Keiley Parkway. He reviewed the differences between <br /> the urban and rurat sections of road improvement . <br /> Vongries felt they have just requested a maJor expense for a <br /> bike/hike trail , and a trait along Wiliow Drive would require <br /> additional easement acquisition . He felt they should forget this <br /> portion of the trail . <br /> Wilson reminded them that they have ( n the past requested an <br /> easement from Shadowood Farms development for a trail to run along <br /> County Road 6 and along the east side of Wfllow Drive. <br /> Chair Flint asked the plan for the property north of Kelley <br /> Parkway. <br /> Goetten stated It is zoned commercfal phasing back to multi - <br /> residential , but what happens with the property Is dependent upon <br /> the outcome of Highway 12 corridor study. <br /> Gerhardson noted that most likely there will be some residential <br /> use for that parcel . <br /> Chair Flint said there are two issues: 1 ) whether or not an <br /> easement is requested, but the City does not have that a right as <br /> there is no subdivision proposed; and 2) whether or not an urban <br /> section is built , which substantially increases the price. <br /> Gerhardson stated the road wi i I be bu i i t as an urban sect ion to <br /> Keliey Parkway whether or not there is a bike traii along the road. <br /> Chair FI ( nt felt if the City proposes an urban section, the trail <br /> should be built at least to Kelley Parkway. <br /> It was moved by Ilse, seconded by Wiison, to recommend construction <br /> of a bike/hike trail along the west side of Wiliow Drive to the <br /> north side of Kelley Parkway, and if the City decldes to build an <br /> urban section further north, to extend the trail as far as the <br /> urban section continues.
