February 1, .1984 Park Board Minutes Page.. 3 Anderson said his recommendation was a trail system linking the park with the entire development and having an exercise trail, We are requesting park land to replace the land which would be lost to the road. .More .concerned about the location of the land than how much. The Park. Board needs to give Dick Putnam some general ideas of what they want so they can combine with other concerns and ideas they've. received. Olson liked using the whole ponding area and .the trail system, however she can see where it may be a problem if it runs through someones yard. Johnson said he'd like to see 15O ft. on the south side of the pond. The trail system is insignificant. He's all for lots of park. Putnam-asked if the .Park Board would like to have a 50 foot slope on the west side of the park. The last thing some people want is a trail in their .back yard. Gunderman said maybe the slope could be utilized in the winter for sliding. Carlson said he feels strongly. about. keeping the entire pond other- wise it will be split; public and private. Fie likes having the roads in the development running in multiple directions.. .Does not: like having a road next to a park. Doesn't like throwing away part of a park and putting kids in .danger. It would be nice having the trail system on the south and a green area or rest area with benches on the other side. Then there would be reason for the people to use it going south. Rose asked when this would all take place, Putnam said late spring.., early summer for the model units, To complete the project it would be 5 or 6 years. Should be done by 1990. Solberg said she likes to enjoy the area behind the church as it is rather than putting a trail in. Concerned with. the road in the park. Anderson said the road would be fenced and that area is not used very much. Dahl favored .having the entire pond and slope as passive and a trail system. Envision it as a nice picnic area. Gunderman said its-s function should be looked at in terms of .what is appropriate to the age group of potential residents, Putnam mentioned that the corner of Silver Lake Road and County Road E probably would not be a residential.. area but .they are considering a-day care center or an office. It`s too busy far homes.
