... Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes 09-01-04 SUBCOMMITTEES Grants The grant information was discussed with the SRF presentation. Committee Member Ziegler asked whether the Park Dedication Fees associated with Pheasant Marsh, 3rd Addition would be seen any time soon. This developer is in litigation with the city and the monies cannot be counted on at this point. Committee Member Seeley spoke to a representative from the DNR Grant Committee requesting feedback as to why the submitted grant application was denied. The representative said the City of Centerville's overall proposal was done very well, but the overall reason for denial was simply a lack of funds. In discussing the Anoka County and MNDOT tentative plans for County Road 14, it appears approximately 1/3 of the trail system proposed by the Parks & Recreation Committee in the 2004 grant application will be taken care of by the CSAH 14 project. This will modify the approach taken for the 2005 grant application. Mr. Ken Grieshaber, SRF asked what type of trail plans the City of Lino Lakes has and whether a joint venture had been discussed. Chairperson Peterson said Lino Lakes has been proactive in working with the City of Centerville in the instances where there was the possibility of joint projects such as the trail on the west side of Hunters Crossing which leads into the Anoka County Regional Park. When the developer was installing this trail Lino Lakes worked with the contractor to add an additional trail into a Lino Lakes development. The question is how much actual planning does Lino Lakes have in place for trails. Vice- Chairperson LeBlanc stated the City of Centerville's priority would be getting the trail from County Road 14 to Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park through the church property, connected to Meadow Lane, and then finalize the plan to submit the 2005 grant application Trails The following information is from Parks & Recreation Vice-Chairperson LeBlanc, who met with Mr. Nick Eoloff from Anoka County Parks on September 1, 2004. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the county's trail plans with the reconstruction of County Road 14 and how that fits in with the Parks & Recreation Committee's Trail Plan. Per Mr. EolotT, the intersection of Centerville Road and County 14 is proposed to be controlled with a stop light. From the intersection of County Road 14 and Centerville Road going east, there will be a sidewalk on the north of County Road 14 to 20th Avenue. On the south of County Road 14 going east, there will be a trail to the freeway. West of the Centerville Road and County 14 intersection, Mr. Eoloff suggests a 10 feet wide trail on the Centerville Lake side of the road going to Wargo Nature Center. The fishing pier on Peltier Lake is proposed to be moved north to the dam and boat launch area near the Rice Creek Outlet. This is also near the Peltier Lake Bridge Outlet. At the boat launch/fishing pier the trail will be on the south (west) side of County 14 and the boat launch/fishing pier will be on the north (east) side of County Road 14. The county plans include a possible underpass for the trail at the boat launch area so trail users will not have to cross County Road 14. 50f7
