John <br /> Gerhardson, Public Works Director represented the City staff. <br /> Jim Gilbert was absent. <br /> APPROVAL OF MINUTES - <br /> TOPICS OF DISCIISSION: - <br /> Community Education Coordination - Map of School District <br /> Report on Bike/Hike Trail <br /> Information regarding Intern for Park Plan <br /> Subdivision Review <br /> CO1�iUNITY EDUCATION COORDINATION - MAP OF SCHOOL DISTRICT - <br /> Alex Vongries presented the School District map onto which <br /> he had marked the Orono Park properties. There was further <br /> discussion on what to include on this map to help the communities <br /> plan together for needed recreational facilities. The Commission <br /> asked that the proposed bike/hike trail for Orono be included on <br /> this map so that other communities could attach to it, and that <br /> we also include county, state , and private recreational <br /> facilities. Alex Vongries will mark these additional locations <br /> onto the District map and will deliver it to John Gerhardson who <br /> will include our larger colored map of recreational areas in <br /> Orono and send them to Toni Berglund at Community Education. We <br /> hope this will encourage the other communities in the Orono <br /> School District to do the same. <br /> BIRE/HIRE TRAILS RSPORT - <br /> Easement on County Road 6 (south side between Willow Drive <br /> and Old Crystal Bay Road North) - John Gerhardson contacted A1 <br /> Yngvie, the spokesman for Orono Plaza Partners, the owners of <br /> this property, to express our interest in procuring an easement <br /> for a bike/hike trail. Mr. Yngvie will get back to him. <br /> Dick F 1 int reported on a meeting that he and Phi 1 Brad ley <br /> attended with Doug Bryant, Superintendent of Hennepin County <br /> Parks. They discussed the feasibility of a separated bike/hike <br /> trail connecting Baker Park and the Luce Line. If the trail were <br /> to be on Old Crystal Bay Road it could also connect Noerenberg <br /> Park, a County Park on County Road 51. The County was interested <br /> in this prospect and estimated the cost of a separated trail 8 <br /> feet wide and blacktopped at $75,000 a mile. Mr. Flint suggested <br /> that once Orono determines what we want, we make a proposal to <br /> the Hennepin County Park Board for support on our project. <br /> 1 <br />
