Mr. Culver responded that, in order to meet the requirements of a Minnesota State <br /> Aid road such as Victoria Street is, it would be necessary to install curb & gutter <br /> throughout the entire area, with parking proposed along the east side of Victoria, <br /> striping the shoulder and shifting lanes. Mr. Culver noted that the east side was <br /> where people tried to access the trailhead for Reservoir Woods. <br /> Member Thurnau spoke in support of connecting the two parks and green space, <br /> providing a nice thoroughfare versus the current barrier. <br /> Mr. Culver clarified that there was currently no funding for the trail itself, and it <br /> would need to be added to the Pathway Master Plan for future funding. <br /> Member Seigler asked if the City would consider using Eminent Domain if the <br /> current private landowner wasn't interested in selling the parcel. <br /> Mr. Culver responded that the City would not use that option even though the <br /> parcel was the most desirable option; there were other methods to meet mitigation <br /> and stormwater treatment needs versus taking that public parcel, since it was <br /> necessary to prove a public good when using Eminent Domain. <br /> At the request of Member Cihacek, Mr. Culver advised that staff had only held <br /> preliminary conversations to-date with the property owner, and would be meeting <br /> with them in the near future to determine their interest. <br /> 6.

As part of the City's suggestion for more focus, <br /> education and participation at multi-family units, Mr. Goodwin addressed some of <br /> Page 5 of 13 <br />
