Review memo from Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee concerning the need for additional Dakota County park area. Staff presented to the committee a draft letter to be considered by the Lakeville City Council regarding the review of the Dakota County 2002-2006 CIP.

The letter also addresses the notion of a designated trail corridor connecting Lebanon Hills Regional Park to Murphy Hanrehan Park Reserve located along Lakeville?s northwestern border. The letter goes on to suggest the need for an additional regional park located closer to the major developing cities such as Apple Valley, Rosemount, Lakeville and Farmington. Staff goes on to suggest areas around the northeast community park easterly through the Brantjen farm homestead as a potential high quality recreational area the County should consider. Committee members discussed the letter and suggested the letter have stronger language emphasizing the need for additional County park facilities and supporting the County?s efforts to jointly develop an outstanding trail system.
