The areas considered for <br /> parks were c} lot ne�to Hackberry and d) 2 houses next to Old Crystal Bay Park. <br /> Commissioners discussed concern for property owners and conflict with the Commission <br /> considering land that is currently privately owned. Flint suggested identifying areas for <br /> possible future open space and working with property owners in retaining land as park <br /> land through Minnesota Land Trust. <br /> The recent tour of Big Island was noted. Jabbour had suggested identifying the area as a <br /> large open space so future developers understand how the City views certain parcels. <br /> McDermott nated the importance of giving the City direction in the way to pursue land in <br /> the future. He commented if the Staff is unaware of how the Commission views open <br /> space parcels, the Staff will not have a clear view on how to work with developers when <br /> such land comes up for development. White said he saw it as a community wide issue <br /> noting the need for a11 residents to be involved. <br /> � <br />
