Mr. Tim Menning was the representative to explain plans for Dodd Park. (This
60 -acre development plan is the same as has been presented, but now has a different
developer, Fischer Bros.)
The flood hazard is proposed to be dealt with as follows: the greatest amount of
level that can be raised is 6 inches. (They are restricted by the State to raise
no more than 6 inches.) There are three alternatives for park dedication, Mr.
Menning stated:
(1) park dedication, 6.2 acres, consist of all a land dedication, or
(2) all cash- -based on the 6.2 acre figure 9,400, with flood hazard
property to remain open space area /low density area. (The developers
would like restrictions placed on the property, in this case, on the
uses of the land, i.e., not a parking lot and no storage of park
machinery.), or
(3) some area dedicated to park use and the remainder of the dedication to
be cash.
78.26 Hiemstra- Lovelace made the motion to recommend acceptance of $9,400 for park land
in Dodd Park development, and we are accepting it for low density use. (This is
alternative #2 outlined above.)

A letter written by LAA to Park D S. Michaud, dated March 12, 1978, was
discussed by the Committee with LAA members Wilson, Cobb, and Rystrom. Copies
were distributed to the members of the Committee and one is filed with these
minutes. The subject of the letter was 1978 -79 hockey rink requirements. These
results were tabbed in a survey the LAA had recently completed.
The LAA would like two additional hockey rinks next season Dakota Heights and
Middle School. (The latter would be an additional rink to what now exists.)
The LAA members felt they could find volunteer help for construction, of the rinks,
if this might be a consideration in obtaining the rinks.
The additional ice rinks requested by the LAA will be an agenda item for next meeting
