<br />Wayne LeBlanc's Trail Concerns <br />Mr. LeBlanc requested permission to send a letter to Met Council requesting they send <br />Centerville a copy ofthe maps and plans for the trail construction around Centerville <br />Lake. <br /> <br />Mr. March offered to send a letter to Met Council requesting any/all infonnation/maps. <br /> <br />Mr. LeBlanc questioned the Park and Recreation Committee on their opinions of the <br />width of the trails. Mr. LeBlanc feh the trail and easements should be expanded from 20 <br />feet to 30 feet. He didn't feel 20 feet was wide enough. <br /> <br />Mr. March explained that he spoke with the City Engineer and the Engineer informed <br />him that 20 feet wide for a trail and easement is typically the standard width in most <br />communities. <br /> <br />Mr. Larson stressed that trails should go in first - before any homes are built. <br /> <br />Mr. Palzer mentioned that property owners are taking care of the easements abutting the <br />trails, and are doing a very nice job at keeping them well kept. <br /> <br />It was the general consensus ofthe Park and Recreation Committee to have Ms. Lien <br />send a letter to the City Engineer on behalf of the Park and Recreation Committee <br />requesting the following actions be taken to alter any and all developers agreements to <br />the following: <br /> <br />1. Leave the width of the trails and easements at 20 feet. <br />2. Install any trails before construction of any homes by using class five. <br />3. Place a barrier/fence along each edge of the trail during construction. <br />4. Install signs indicating "future trail". <br />5. Pave the trail when the adjacent homes are complete. <br /> <br />Wavne LeBlanc's Lol1{!' Term Vision Reauest <br />Mr. LeBlanc explained he was concerned that some of the long-term visions ofthe <br />Design Team are being forgotten. He already approached City Council on the idea of <br />starting a "Long Term Vision Committee" consisting of himself and Theresa Brenner. <br />They are looking for a small budget to start implementing some of the visions that are <br />being lost, and would like to get more community involvement. They are willing to work <br />with whoever it takes to connect our trail with Hugo. <br /> <br />Mr. March explained that the Council was concerned that all of the <br />committees/commissions be made aware of the proposed Long Term Vision Committee. <br />The Council didn't want any member of a committee/connnission to feel as though this <br />new committee was moving in on their committee/commissions decisions. Mr. March <br />also stressed that the City doesn't want to get citizens involved, working on projects that <br />the City Council does not ultimately support. <br /> <br />6 <br />
