October 5, 19.88 Park Board Minutes. <br />Anderson said the City Engineer said there is-. <br />5 <br />Gary Balego, 1320 Pike Lake Circle, asked to whose benefit is <br />this trail? You mentioned a little quadrant of people. Would <br />like to know how many will be served. ATV's and snowmobiles <br />were mentioned but no mention of summer use. Pike Lake is <br />very small; increasing-use will be dangerous. The lake bottom <br />is platted and have concerns for liability for the property <br />owners. <br />Anderson -said we <br />lake bottom being <br />because that lake <br />Attorney that the <br />lake was drained. <br />it doesn't change <br />cent through this same argument about the <br />.platted with the Long Lake development <br />is also platted. We were told by the City <br />only time it will be a problem is if the <br />If someone broke his neck on your property <br />whether it is bottom platted or not. <br />Anderson said he doesn't think the path will encourage lake <br />use. If people want to use the lake they will comedown the <br />creek in a canoe. Don't think you will see an increase in <br />lake use because of .this trail. <br />Anderson said there is access to the lake for snowmobiles <br />now - they can come down the creek. The access is already <br />there and snowmobile use probably won't increase. The City <br />has an ordinance against-snowmobiles on the trail. <br />A resident asked how a snowmobile could .come in on the creek, <br />there is a dam there.. Anderson said he didn't know how but <br />they have access now. <br />Resident disagreed. <br />Anderson said that snowmobiles in New Brighton have not been <br />much of an issue in recent years. The only problem we have is <br />with enforcement is on Long Lake because it is so large. <br />Brown asked what percentage of people would be served. <br />Anderson said a small amount, about 10%. <br />Ken Johnson told Anderson he disagreed with him. I run and I <br />would use that trail. I run at 6:00am and see a dozen other <br />runners and some senior citizens. <br />Seward commented that there will be some new residents behind <br />Minar Ford - they will use the trail. <br />Johnson said our society is more health conscious. Believe <br />more and more people will be using the trail system. <br />Marilyn Rose, 1539 12th Terr., There is a steep incline down. <br />to the lake. Will there be something there to keep people <br />.from falling-off the trail. It may have to be fenced. <br />What if the bids are higher than $20,000. <br />
