Representatives of The Cove .plat were present. Staff explained to the developer that he sees a potential trail connection to the north and possibly a cash contribution to satisfy the park dedication requirements of this plat. At this point staff-felt there were too many unanswered questions for .the committee to make a recommendation, including awaiting of a letter from the DNR concerning the dredging of the north .Lake Marion area which will answer some questions.
