MINUTES OF THE REGUI,AR ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> MEETIIVG HELD ON SEPTEMBER 3, 1996 <br /> (#2 -Report on August 12, 1996 Council Meeting - Continued) <br /> White commented that the real estate agents involved for the subdivision should have <br /> known and informed the buyers of the internal trails. Flint said that Mr. Putnam claimed <br /> the trails were landscaped. McMillan and McDermott disagreed noting only slight grading <br /> was performed where there are ditches in need of culverts. Beal asked what recourse the <br /> City has. Flint said the Council would make that determination. <br /> (#3) FINAL REPORT BY CITY INTERN, MICHAEL SCHULTZ <br /> Schultz will continue to work on the completion of the park inventory and reported at the <br /> October meeting of the Commission. He presented the Commissioners with a lake access <br /> map and trail access map. McDermott suggested mowing and using corner posts to mark <br /> trails that were unmarked. The list of lake accesses will be reviewed to determine the <br /> needs of the City in relation to the lake access points. The purpose of the list is to show <br /> an inventory and determine future potential. Documentation of maintenance is also <br /> required. McMillan noted that the size of the parcels was an important consideration. <br /> Items for completion were noted to be: 1} Copying park site plans; written documentation <br /> has been completed. 2) Trail documentation. 3) Editing and modification by the Park <br /> Commission. <br /> White reported that he has ordered the demographics of the City from census tracts and <br /> will deliver them to Staff soon. <br /> (#4) REPORT ON STATUS OF BID AWARDS REGARDING CRYSTAL BAY <br /> BIKE TRAIL(JOHN GERHARDSON) <br /> Gerhardson reported that the engineering estimate for the bike trail to Kelley Parkway was <br /> $150,000. The lowest bid came in at $164,000. Flint suggested continuing the trail to the <br /> teen center as the additional cost would be minimal. The recommendation will go before <br /> the Council next week for approval. The funding would come from the Park Dedication <br /> Fund. <br /> McDermott questioned continuation to the teen center. Gerhardson said there is a <br /> pedestrian crosswalk at the teen center for access to the school. Flint said the advantage <br /> to the trail going to the teen center now would eliminate the need far that small piece to <br /> be completed later, and the City would be finished with their portion of the trail system. <br /> Hennepin County Park Reserve District has agreed to construct the trail along CoRd 6 <br /> into Baker Park to Old Crystal Bay Road. The remaining portion is school property and <br /> will be constructed by the school. <br /> 3 <br />
