CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> • MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: October 16, 1996 <br /> TO: Parks and Recreation Committee <br /> �J <br /> FROM: Cindy S. Walsh, Parks and Recreation Director <br /> SUBJECT: October Committee Meeting Agenda Report <br /> 1. Playstructure at Hazelnut Park <br /> The 1997 Proposed Park Fund Budget includes $30,000 for new playground equipment. <br /> Does the Committee want to follow a process similar to the one used for choosing the <br /> playground equipment at Charles Perry Park? We could also send out a survey to <br /> residents in the Hazelnut area or meet with them to get their ideas. <br /> 2. Trail Connections to the Hazelnut Trail <br /> Edgewater and Jerrold Avenue <br /> There are 10 foot wide access easements from Edgewater and Jerrold Avenue to the <br /> • Hazelnut Trail. The access off of Edgewater Avenue has stepping stones leading to the <br /> bituminous trail. The access off of Jerrold Avenue is not improved in any way. I have <br /> had requests from residents in the Jerrold Avenue area to pave the access path. I would <br /> like the Committee to consider adding both of these areas to the Park Fund Capital Plan. <br /> Katie Lane <br /> Barry O'Meara is currently in the process of developing homes in the Katie Lane and <br /> Katie Court area. As a part of his past development, he created a 10 foot wide Outlot area <br /> that extends from Katie Lane to the Hazelnut Trail. The City received a copy of a letter <br /> and petition to Mr. O'Meara from residents in this development asking him to <br /> improve/pave the outlot trail access. Mr. O'Meara responded to the residents by telling <br /> them that the City owned that property. In looking though our records, plat maps, and tax <br /> roles, it appears that Mr. O'Meara still owns the area. It is still listed as an Outlot rather <br /> than a walkway easement. The residents are now asking Mr. O'Meara to transfer the <br /> property to the City. City of Arden Hills Attorney, Jerry Filla, is reviewing the situation. <br /> The Committee should make a formal motion to the City Council to accept or not <br /> accept the trail access. I will bring a map outlining these areas to the committee <br /> meeting. <br /> • <br />
