March 3, .1981 Park Board minutes Hogan agreed with the others. there but it is an option. Page 3 He wouldn't care to have to enter Johnson stated he was not excited about subdividing the land. Buildings could be put close to the park. Some portions of the buildings would be very visible. There is not much room for buildings in a subdivision like that. Olson commented that it is an option but it is not really desirable. She feels Johnson's comment was a good one. Solberg asked if the development abutted our .side or Ramsey County's. Anderson said both Ramsey County and New Brighton property abuts the development. Johnson asked if it is subdivided now, would you lose the possibility of PUD? Archer said that the street is crucial. If it serves the City park, we would benefit. The adjacent property owners are the only ones that benefit now. Until there is formal. application, the property owner doesn't have to make a decision. Van Hatten said he would like to see access in the original develop- ment that the City could use if it had to. It definitely could be done in a way that if the City doen't need, it could be returned. Gunderman asked if we would save travel within the park by have. more than one entrance. Anderson said the less entrances the better. If we had-one good one that's all we need. Gunderman felt there was some advantage to having.. an access in the winter. Would like to see access. Feels: it is very critical unless we are going with Ramsey County. Van Hatten feels a turn-around is needed. It could be right next to the property. All you need to do is open it up. B. Long Lake Park Resolution Staff told the Park Board that it had been directed by the Council to prepare'a resolution on Long.. bake for Metro Council's consideration. Ramsey County has not responded to the August 1980 resolution; they have deferred action because they .have a legislative proposal they want to make for the seven county area. However, the proposal has .not .yet been issued and chances that it will be in 1981 are slim. Staff feels it.will be late 1982 before the legislature will even make a decision. It is possible that they may come up with some sort of tax to make money available. Staff said the Council has re- viewed the resolution and the only change was that the last paragraph of the resolution be deleted because the Council felt it was too strong.
