Lake Marion -South Creek Regional Greenway Mr. Altergott provided a brief overview of the Lake Marion -South Creek Regional Greenway Master Plan. He explained that the greenway will connect regional destinations in Burnsville, Lakeville, Savage, Credit River Township and Farmington. The 20 mile greenway would connect the Minnesota River to downtown Farmington. The greenway focuses on habitat, recreation, water quality and non - motorized transportation. The County Board anticipates submittal of the Master Plan to the Metropolitan Council in late summer for adoption and designation as a regional trail. Mr. Altergott explained that in response to concerns by residents in the Lake Marion /Juno Trail area, the Master Plan has been changed to clarify that the Juno Trail section of the greenway will utilize the existing 20 foot easement. Also, in that section, the greenway will be open according to current city ordinances, and not 24 hours a day. The Master Plan has also been amended to clarify that any future design changes to Juno Trail will involve input by the residents. Council Member Swecker asked for reassurance that the City Council is being asked to approve a conceptual design of the 2030 Master Plan, with a number of details yet to be worked out. Mr. Altergott confirmed that the proposed resolution supports a conceptual plan, and the City of Lakeville will participate in the final details. Council Member Anderson stated he feels the resolution should state that the City Council approves the Master Plan, in concept, subject to the City's concerns or adjustments being heard and made as plan documents continue to be refined. Council Member LaBeau expressed the need for a clear understanding of what the City's financial responsibilities will be in the future with respect to maintenance. Mr. Altergott clarified that the project will be introduced in segments, and some could be 20 years or more in the future. By having a conceptual plan, when federal or state funding becomes available, the County will be able to apply for those funds. City Council Meeting Minutes, July 1, 2013 Page 4 Mr. Mielke also clarified that this is a guide plan, which is subject to further dialogue and modifications. He pointed out that the plan references the need for a cooperative approach to implementation.

He stated staff would craft amended language for the resolution that addresses the concerns raised by the Council.
