Minutes of June 4, 198.6 MOTION BY BLOMQUIST, SENCONDED BY OLSON, TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF JUNE 4, 1986 AS SUBMITTED. MOTION CARRIED. IV. Correspondence A. Council Report Council Representative Williams stated he missed the June 24th meeting because he was on vacation. He said Long Lake Road was a big issue. The northern part of the road is to be developed this year and southern part next year. The Council again discussed Veterans Park. The City purchased the property behind the fire station. The Planning Commission is .looking at a special use permit to use the property for parking. Hopefully it will not be a problem. This provides flexibility to take up the overflow for City Hall parking. At the July 22nd meeting the Council will have a recommendation from the Planning Commission for parking on the property. The Council then discussed the whole Vets Park area. Williams said he pressed the Council to be specific as to what they wanted and what the Park Board direction was. There was a resident petition started by the Bona's to start the develop- ment of the park. Tony Bona said he would like to see the playground started as his top priority. Williams suggested the Park Board reevaluate what you and the Council have been through and consider the smaller parking lot, the possibility of vacating 3rd Avenue and determine who the users will be. Come up-with a master plan"for the park. Blomquist said the plan the Park Board agreed on took all of those things into consideration - it was all talked about at the last Park Board meeting and a final plan was approved. Williams said some of the Council mem b'ers feel the plan is too cluttered. Anderson said he met with Bill Midness of Damon Farber regarding the Park Board's recommendation for the plan. There was only one variable. An overlay would be presented of the 3rd AVe. issue. The rest of the plan we had a good idea from the Park Board as to what they wanted. If the Park Board wanted to see the plan before it goes to the Council that could be arranged but there is nothing new in there. Did not reduce any of the "clutter" because Anderson and Midness did not feel it was cluttered. It may have looked that way - the hard edges on the plan will be removed.
