<br />Parks & Recreation Committee <br />Meeting Minutes August 1,2007 <br /> <br />Mr. Mark SpitzmueUer, Bald Eagle Water Ski Club, made an appearance to discuss another <br />possible location on Centerville Lake for the water ski club to base their practices and shows <br />from. The location would be the strip of land located along the south side of CSAH14 currently <br />owned by Anoka County, next to Mr. Paul Burke's rental properties. This property may <br />eventually belong to the City following the CSAH14 widening project. Chairperson Seeley <br />stated the committee would certainly like to see the water ski club stay in Centerville if at all <br />possible and asked Mr. Spitzmueller if he thought there was enough room at this location? Mr. <br />Spitzmueller said that other than parking, the viewing space is adequate. He walked the area and <br />thought there was more room there than one would suspect and with spectators sitting on the <br />grassy slopes he felt there could be room for up to 200 people. There is adequate water depth for <br />their purposes. Mr. Spitzmueller also talked to Father Fitzgerald regarding parking at the church <br />and felt that could be worked out. Chairperson Seeley reminded Mr. Spitzmueller that CSAHl4 <br />was being widened and would be in the middle of construction next summer. Mr. Spitzmueller <br />stated he was aware of this and was looking forward to the following season after this section of <br />road is completed and the trail has been installed. He had talked to Mr. Mike Kelly from Anoka <br />County who informed him there will be more room on this south side of the road after the curve <br />is softened and moved more towards the north side. The ski club was given their notice at their <br />current Waterworks location that this would be the last season. They have been in Centerville 15 <br />years and would like to stay on Centerville Lake if at all possible, though they are also working <br />with the City of Forest Lake. Chairperson Seeley extended an invitation to work with the <br />committee and the City to see what could be arranged after the road construction is completed. <br /> <br />IV.
