Archer stated the differences were t'h~ street 'which now .goes through the old gas station and the outlot configuration.: Archer expressed concern with integrating Beisswenger's with this plot. There will be no loading parking, etc. in the front yard. Alignment is forcing development toward the park. Parcel #3 has not yet been considered. There are a number of issues that are stl'1 missing., Because of this, the lateness, change of street, etc..Archer requested. that this be considered a concept dis- cussion only. Gunderman commented that parcels #2 & #3 were being looked at for secondary access. City is working with Ramsey County for access but this is one way to get to the park without Ramsey County. A Board of Review member asked if the funds for the park were just for Long Lake or .for-both Long Lake and Rush Lake.. Gunderman responded for both.. The battle with Ramsey County is operation and maintenance. There was a meeting last night trying to break the log jam. It mould be a tremendous advantage to provide a second access.
