Case/t2: BUSINESS PARK 95 3rd ADDITION Mr. Boos stated that the City of Ramsey is in the process of platting two additional lots in the Business Park 95 subdivision. He provided the Commission with a site location map, proposed sketch plan and staff review letter. The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the Business Park 95 subdivision for park dedication in 1995 and determined that there was no need for land dedication. The Commission noted, that there was a need for a transportation trail on the south side of County Road #116, east of Tungsten Street (east on Anoka's side to T.H. 47). City Staff was of the opinion that the construction of the trail should occur when either Outlot A (within Business Park 95) is developed, or the continuation of the trail (east of Outlot A and south of#116, east into Anoka) is in place. Motion by Commissioner Johns and seconded by Commissioner Skinner to recommend park dedication be satisfied by a cash payment to the Marble Recreation District. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chair Cook, Commissioners Asfahl, Droegemueller, Johns, LaMere, Ostrum, and Skinner. Voting No: None. Absent: None.

He also provided a list of issues from the August 15, 1996 Local Govemment Officials meeting. Although the participants were told there would be a later meeting dealing with trail planning, the need for trails dominated the discussion. The overall planning process includes a citizen task force. Boos noted that Todd Cook is a member of the task force and asked that he apprise Ramsey's Park and Recreation Commission on their findings and direction to date. Chairperson Cook stated there are 13 stakeholders involved in the planning process.
