Amenities incluid�e a commuinity garden, lighted skating rink with a heated shelter, a ball field, picnic areas, and a walking trail. Applicable Clauses Affecting Ownership: Langton Lake Park has received federal Land and Water Conservation Fund (LAWCON) and Minnesota outdoor Recreation grants, both administered through the Minnesota DNR. Unusual Characteristics Reducing or Enhancing the Value of the Property: Langton Lake comprises most of the land area for the park and enhances its valuie. LAWCON Section 6(f) (or other Federal Encumbrances) Impacts: The Arthur Street Pond parcel was not within the Langton Lake Park boundaries at the time of the LAWCON grant, therefore the Section 6(f) impacts only relate to the 2,51516 square- foot impact to the main park parcel. The Arthur Street Pond parcel was within the park boundaries at that time of the most recent state Outdoor Recreation grant. It is noted that the DNR has the same replacement requirements for conversion of Land subject to the Minnesota Outdoor Recreation Program grants as is required for conversion under Section 6(f). 2. Impacts to the Section 4(f) Property. Amount of Land impacted: Main Park Parcel: Right of way: 2,51516 square feet ( <0.1 acres) Arthur Street Pond Parcel: Right of way: 21,769 square feet (0.51 acres) Remnant: 19,090 square feet (0.4 acres) Permanent R/W Acquisition/ Easements: 0 acres Temporary Easements: 0 acres Functions Affected: None. Facilities Affected: Regional stormwater pond. 3. Coordination with Responsible Official with Jurisdiction Over the Section 4(f) Property: See attached Letter from [NAME, TITLE]. 4. Considerations. Impact Avoidance: The No Build alternative would avoid impacts to Langton Lake Park but would not meet the purpose and need for the project, which includes providing a system link between the existing segment of Twin Lakes Parkway and Fairview Avenue North at Terrace Drive, completing the link to/from 1-351W east ramps at Cleveland Avenue North, addressing the internal east-west circulation needs within the developing Twin Lakes Business Park, providing access to existing businesses and future uses consistent with adopted City plans, and addressing bicycle and pedestrian needs.
