The <br /> Pioneer Museum has been visited for insight into the settling af the area. It was suggested <br /> to Ilse at the museum that she contact Jim Roehl for further inform�tion, which <br /> Gerhardson confirmed wauld be helpfut. At this point, plans are for a dirt parking area far <br /> 3-4 cars, benches, and a reflective/passive park with possibly some type of photos an�l <br /> signage af what the area once Iooked like and how it was usecl. <br /> McDermott said a garage was still on the property as well as a root cellar, eoncrete slab, <br /> ar�d retaining walls. The garage is owned by the adjaining property owner. A corner of <br /> this garage encraaches onto the City property. The well has heen abandoned. There is <br /> power to the site. The trash wi�l be cleaned up. Gerhardson said his department has filled <br /> in where the barn was located. Na re�;rading was done; only fill to make the area safe. <br /> McDermott commented that he visited the development site. The developer has the � <br /> property listed as an outlot in his information.

He <br /> saw two separate plats with different information regardin�;the property. McDermott <br /> further noted that no internal trails were shown on the maps provided by the developer. <br /> McMillan said she has spoken with Mabusth, whc� reported that the developer was to <br /> install internal trails.
