Mary Butler and Gabriel <br /> Jabbour were present to represent the Council . <br /> (#1 ) APPROVAL OF MINUTES <br /> The minutes of June 2 , 1992 were not approved as the Commission did <br /> not have time to review the minutes. <br /> (#2) BIKE HIKE TRAIL REPORT - CITY ENGINEER <br /> Gerhardson introduced Glenn Cook , City Engineer . <br /> Cook reviewed the proposed trail . He stated they used a 6 foot <br /> width for the trail along County Road 6 to estimate the cost . <br /> Wilson asked if the trail would be separated from the roadway. <br /> Cook explained that along Old Crystal Bay Road the roadway is 12 <br /> from the center line to the edge . There currently is an 8 gravel <br /> shoulder . They are proposing a 19 street section with curb and <br /> gutter . The ditch would be filled in and the trail would be built <br /> aver the ditch area. There would be a grassed buffer between the <br /> paved road and the trail . He explained on County Road 6 , the best <br /> choice may be adjoining the roadway because of the cost . He said <br /> he understood the trail along County Road 6 to be temporary. <br /> Chair Flint felt that was a misunderstanding of the Hennepin County <br /> Parks ' position . They indicated that the trail west of Homestead <br /> Trail would be temporary until they acquired the remaining private <br /> land in that area. <br /> Cook stated that the area between Old Crystal Bay Road and <br /> Homestead Trail along the north side of County Road 6 is a very <br /> difficult area to build a trail due to the steep topography. He <br /> said since the pathway is to be permanent along County Road 6 , it <br /> would be best to construct a detached trail . <br /> Cook noted with the option described along Old Crystal Bay Road , <br /> storm sewer would need to be installed to carry the drainage <br /> currently carried by the ditch . He added temporary easements would <br /> need to be secured for construction of this type of trail . <br /> 1 <br />
