78.47 Rice -Trued motioned that the minutes of the meeting held May 3, 1978 be approved.
Voting "aye" were Trued, Storlie, Hiemstra, Rice, Smith, and Lange.
Mr. Barry Seida, of Harry S. Johnson Co.'s, Inc., representing Lucerne Trail
Partners in their Wildwood Ponds North and South development proposals, was
present to answer any questions about the proposal which the Committee might
wish to ask.
Wildwood Ponds, North and South, is at preliminary plat hearing stage before
the Planning Commission on Thursday eve, May 18, 1978. Mr. Seida said it is
the developer's wish to begin developing Wildwood Ponds South as soon as possible;
Wildwood Ponds North will be later, probably next summer.
Under our present ordinance, Park Director Michaud said the formula would address
a cash donation for the Wildwood Ponds' complete proposal, of $4,000. He further
suggested that the $4,000 be due and payable at the time of the first final
(Council) approval. The complete $4,000 would be due when final approval is given,
even though one phase of the development will not take place immediately.
078.48 Trued -Smith motioned to recommend that $4,000, in lieu of land, be the park
consideration accepted by P R Committee and be so recommended to Council for
their approval
Voting "aye" were Storlie, Hi.emstra, Rice, Smith, Lange, and Trued.
Mr. Seida voiced the opinion that the Lucerne Partners might suggest that an
amount be kept in escrow if they have to pay an amount of money for land that
they are not planning to develop at this time.
Councilman Nelson said there were two things that were suggested at the last
Council meeting that is asked of P R: (1) reconvene the Bike Trail Sub- Committee,
and (2) complete a drraft of a park dedication ordinance amendment.
Park Director Michaud began his report.
A. The Comprehensive Park Development Plan is in the process of being updated.
P R members will be furnished small maps which will be color- coded, showing
where growth development is projected. This is to be an agenda item for next'
meeting June 7, 1978• This will be a long -range projection.
B. The latest development in a plan for sewage disposal at the new Aronson Park
building has been suggested by the engineer- -the utilization of a grinder pump.
It is 1,700 feet to the nearest City line, and it is proposed to run plastic pipe
from the building to it. The cost of such pipe is $1.80 to $2.00 per foot.
An estimate of $1,200 is made to put it in the ground., complete. $2 to
$2,900 is the estimate for a well.
C. The Antlers Park building is 99% completed- -rough landscaping and baekfilling
remain to be done.
(1) PARK REC MAY 17 1978
(2) Park Recre n May 17, 1978
D. A review of Dodd Park is not complete at this time. It will take more work.
However, Independence Park is controlled by a Canadian Co. who purchased land
from 1st Wisconsin State Bank. Negotiations are under way whereby a lot is
being considered in trade. The park land will belong to the City after Jan.
1, 1980, or when 50% of the lots are developed whichever comes first. It is
necessary that part of the area remain a holding pond.
Valley Lake may be surveyed by G. Jacobson, at a cost of $500. It may be
possible to use a transit and find the boundaries of the park ourselves. Rough
landscaping might be done, and black dirt added, when the men are not so busy--
perhaps this fall. N. Hiemstra suggested the possibility of bike trails
around the lake, and exercise stations.
F. Mr. Harry Clarkson is working on naming all parks for easier noting of the Fire
Department. There is a petition to change the name of Valley Lake Park to
Stonebridge particularly since the park is located in this addition at Valley
Park. Rev. Trued read the petition, which has many signatures, asking for the
establishment of a bike trail between Valley Park and Apple Valley, via the
school on Cedar Av. The proposal would include school board direction and
both Lakeville and Apple Valley cities. Mr. Nelson suggested that the trail
begin at Dodd Av. and Cedar Av. intersection.
73.49 Lange -Rice motioned to accept the Bike Trail Petition for proposal of trail
at Valley Park -Apple Valley.
Voting "aye" were Hiemstra, Rice, Smith, Lange, Trued, and Storlie.
78.50 Rice -Smith motioned that the Bike Trail petition, in Motion No. 78.49, be
referred to City Council with a recommendation that the petition be implemented.
Voting "aye" were Rice, Smith, Lange, Trued, Storlie and Hiemstra.
S. Michaud spoke of a proposal of LIDCO for rezoning and replatting of a small
parcel of land at junction of 205th St. W. and Iberia Av.-- south of Lamplighter
Apts. Water and sewer is in the area. The present zoning is limited indus-
trial, and the desire is to erect multiple housing. Land content is 2.11
acres with a proposal of five lots for development.
78.51 Storlie -Rice motioned to recommend a $2,400 cash park dedication in lieu of
land, for LIDCO development proposal. The $2,400 will be due upon approval of
the final plat.
Voting "aye" were Smith, Lange, Trued, Storlie, Hiemstra, and Rice.
