Parks & Recreation Meeting Minutes 10-01-03 IV. CONSIDER~ TION OF MINUTES It was erroneously stated in the September 3, 2003 Meeting Minutes that the Trails and the Grants Subcommittees had decided to join as one committee. Committee Member Seeley was invited to join the Grant Subcommittee, in addition to being a member of the Trails Subcommittee, as they are currently looking at Trail Grants and the issues of both subcommittees are similar. The subcommittee members would like to keep these subcommittees separate however, as in the future they may be working on unrelated issues. Committee Member Ziegler would like this noted on the last page where members of each subcommittee are identified. MotiOJll was made by Vice-Chairper~on LeBlanc, seconded by Committee Member Peil to approve the September 3, 2003 Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes with the above changes. All in favor: Motion carried unanimously, V. COlVIMITTEE BUSINESS Pheasant Marsh. Phase Three - Trail Chairperson Peterson requested a discussion of the trail through Pheasant Marsh, Phase 111, be added under Committee Business. Chairperson Peterson started the discussion by saying the original trail proposal winds through the east side of the development in a low area. There is quite a bit of green space, probably because it is low, What Chairperson Peterson would like the committee to consider is readjusting the placement of the trail along the far east edge where there is higher ground and the trail would overlook the edge of the pond on the adjacent property. The original proposal shows the trail ending at Outlot A, Center Oaks II, with the idea of the trail eventually being continued east to 20th Avenue. Chairperson Peterson proposes a trail stub be added heading north across Outlot A to Center Street If the trail cannot be connected to 20th Avenue in the near future, at least this trail would continue to Center Street instead of dead-ending. The trail stub would be paid for from Parks & Recreation trail funds. Chairperson Peterson estimates the stub to be 270' - 300' in length. The committee felt this was a better alternative to the trail dead-ending and not being used by residents. Chairperson Peterson also reported there is a 6 foot county ditch which runs through this property to the south. It will be necessary for a culvert to be installed in the south-east corner. Council Member Lee suggested attaching a map with the suggested changes to the motion for the next council meeting. Ground Development is currently looking for approval on the Developer's Agreement and Final Plat for Pheasant Marsh, Phase III. Chairperson Peterson will supply Ms. Stephan with a map of the proposed changes/additions.
