Wilson said she walked the course with Welles and McDermott to determine <br /> the best location for the trail. <br /> Issues relating to the trail and its iocation were discussed. Wilson noted the trail shauld <br /> not travel through the golf course due to the nature of golf. The course perimeter was <br /> reviewed. There will be two separate trails. A bike trail will run along Spring Hill Road <br /> as shawn an the bike trail map. A separate walking trail will enter into and along the <br /> property ta result in a connection between Wolsfeld and Waod Rill, the two DNR <br /> scientific and nature areas. Additional park land must be acquired between Tamarack <br /> Roarl and Wolsfeld to make this connection occur. A subdivision in Medina may occur in <br /> the near future. <br /> Wilson said the walkin$trail should meander thraugh the trees to create a pleasant <br /> ambiance instead ot along the shau(cier ot�the road similar ta a bike trail. She notecl the <br /> golf club does not want ta view the walkers but felt screening could be created. <br /> It was noted that there is no Park Dedication fee for this application. It results in the loss <br /> of approximately $350,040 if the property had been subdivided. <br /> Wilson indicated the City of Medina has planned a bike trail atong Tamarack. Hunter <br /> Drive is currently the designated location for a bike trail for Orono. Wilson suggested the <br /> trail location be changed to eorrespond with the Tamarack trail but changed to the west <br /> side of the road. There is more right-of-way an the west �ide and utility lines are located <br /> an the east. The bike trail will require amending to reflect this change. Welles noted <br /> safety as a compelling reason to change the bike trail to Tamarack. <br /> Flint reported the County bike trail maps show trails along CoRds 6 and 24. Orono's trail <br /> map ends at CoRd 6 and Spring Hill Road. Flint feels the trail should cantinue to the ea.st. <br /> Wilson noted the need ta review the bike trail plan. <br /> � <br />
