~ • PARK BQARD MEETING September 1, 1971 The meeting was called to order at 8:15 P.M. Board Members Present: Dahl, Gunderman, Hagemeyer, Sherlock, Smith., and Council Representative Moen. Absent: Weissman Others Present: Mrs. Richard Neumann, Mr. George Carlson The minutes of the xegular meeting of August 4, 1971 were approved as submitted. PROPOSED PRELIMINARY PLAT PL-74 The Board discussed alternate courses of action concerning the proposed Prelim- inary Plat PL-74. This plat includes the 12 acre parcel on 1$A St. and 29th Ave. N.W. which has been recommended as future park land to the Planning Commission by the Park Board. A public hearfng on PL-74 has been set for the Council meeting of September 14, 1971 and the Board e~.pressed concern that be- cause no official designation has been made to indicate the property as a future Park, it will be developed before the Council is aware of its status in the Park Board's long-range plan. It was suggested that the Park Board request the Council to designate all of the parcels included in the Park Board's long-range plan as future parks despite the fact that the Planning Commission has not finalized the proposed land use map within the comprehensive plan. However, it was brought out that this might unintentionally be interpreted as criticism of the Planning Commission. Sherlock moved that the Park Board through its chairman, Gunderman, send a letter to Mayor Bromander to be received by the Council at its September 14 meeting which outlines its concern about parcels recommended to the Fianning Commission as future parks. Specifically the Board requests that the Council consider a course of action that would result in the Heaton property located within PL-74 being preserved as a park site. Seconded by Smith - Motion Carried JOINT MEETING ON RAMSEY GOUNTY OPEN SPACE PLAN The Board established en agenda for the meeting to be held with neighboring communities' Park Boards for the purpose of discussing the Ramsey County Open Space Plan. The first item of the agenda is an explanation of the state law permitting the County to purchase the land. Smith-will have copies of the law for everyone and handle the explanation. Gunderman suggested inviting some people involved in the Legal process such as Dick Andersen., Ed 5alverda, Perry Copeland, etc. The second item an the agenda is to determine to what degree each community supports the County plan. The Park Board's own position is that it agrees with the toCal concept of the plate and would support preserving the land along Rice Creek and Rush Lake in a material state. The area along Rice Creek
