' f'ebruary 3, 1981 Park Board Minutes Page 3 i Anderson explained that the next map showed barriers, identi- fied railroad tracks, freeways, and Long Lake barriers. Johnson asked Anderson to define barrier. Anderson explained that this was something physical that was preventing people from getting to a park, i.e.~railroad tracks, freeways, lakes, etc. Grimshaw asked if the width of a road determined whether or not it was considered a barrier. If the road was wide enough, bicycles and walkers could get to the park. Anderson answered no; width does not dermine whether it is barrier Dahl asked if perhaps there should be a map of existing trails. Anderson felt there wasn't enough to show ,on a map. We only have one trail system in our parks. Anderson stated the next page showed the national standard. With our facilities and school facilities we meet or exceed the .standard in almost every category. -Dahl felt it would be easier to understand if there were some- • thing stated in regard to park and 'recreation and goals and objectives- before the national standard. Anderson stated he did it this way because typically it has been done this way in other Cities. Wants to show that we are working toward goals and objectives. The order being what we have, what our standards are and-then our goals. Dahl expressed concern with the page titled "Park and~Recrea- tiorial Open Space." She felt the .park philosophy done by a Park Board sub group should.. be inserted in this page.. Anderson said he will rewrite it and submit it<to the-Park Board at the next meeting. Anderson commented that the order will be determined at a later date when the content is updated and completed to the Park Board's satis'factign. ' Carlson asked if all school ,district property was included in ".Open Space" section or just those where we have joint powers a•greements,. Anderson responded it included all schools. Grimshaw suggested showing existing schools along with parks . on the "Determination of Needs".page. On the "Determination of Needs." page Dahl asked if the. 236 ,acres applied to population Anderson said yes.
