several members of the bond referendum Task Force were also present.

minutes of February 19, 1986.

read.
Motion passed.
Item number three was the Park Director's report. Staff. reported that the
maintenance program on the hockey rinks had ceased. Rain and warmer
weather had caused the ice to disappear. Staff did report that this year
was the best year the city had had to prepare good ice and keep it as long
as it remained.
• Staff explained the cooperative program between Apple Valley, Eagan,
Burnsville and Lakeville relative to their community celebrations. The
program is called the Ground Pounders Grand Prix and will consist of four
major foot races associated with each of the communities' celebrations.
All other areas of the department were running well.
Staff then presented two development projects which are now proceeding
through the review process. The first plat was the Swan Development,
which is located next to Wayside Park along 16$th Street. This area is a
replat of an older, existing plat and there would be no park dedication
requirement. The Park Director did request some property line adjustments
to try to preserve as much of Wayside Park as possible. This was
completed and Wayside Park should remain pretty much as has been in the
past.
The Park Committee acknowledged receipt of the plat. No action was taken.
The second plat was the Brackett's Crossing proposal. Staff presented the
location of the proposal and a layout of the different phases. Brackett's
Crossing plat would require a dedication fee. The plan for development
was explained to the committee. One issue the committee had concerns with
was the potential of a trail connection between Judicial Road and the
Orchard Lake area. Staff informed the committee that this was discussed
at the staff meetings and the potential of a trail connecting Judicial
Road and Orchard Lake was not discounted.
