Mr. Boos stated that it is. <br /> <br />Chairperson Bawden pointed out that the trail running in the back yards in Juniper Ridge should be <br />delineated as off-road, and Mr. Boos agreed. <br /> <br />Commissioner Thorud inquired whether it were possible, when building trails, to make one lane <br />bituminous and one lane primitive for horses and skiers. <br /> <br />Mr. Boos stated it is possible since there is 75 feet to work with. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hendriksen, noting that there is a riding arena at Traprock Commons, commented <br />that there seems to be reluctance in getting people in the rural area to that riding arena. <br /> <br />Mr. Boos stated that the portion of the trail between Armstrong Boulevard and the riding arena <br />would probably accommodate a horse trail since the multi-purpose trail designation is a 75-foot <br />area. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hendriksen remarked that the reason trails were fa'st considered in the City was <br />because of horse owners. He commented that now this segment of the City's population is being <br />ignored. He inquired whether the City has acquired any property. <br /> <br />Mr. Boos stated that some property has been acquired in the urban area. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hendriksen stated that there was a trail plan that had this aspect in it, and now there <br />is nothing. <br /> <br />Mr. Boos advised that the Lake Itasca Trail is the only trail in the City at the present time, and it <br />does have a 75-foot corridor. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hendriksen suggested possibly designating a horse trail in the ditch along county <br />roads. <br /> <br />Mr. Boos suggested initiating that discussion with the County. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hendriksen felt that such was in the plan originally and inquired why it was not <br />included, even after he talked with the Park and Recreation Commission. <br /> <br />Mr. Boos stated he was not at that meeting, so he is unaware of anything that occurred. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holland commented that the more multi-purpose trails in the City, the more <br />advantageous to the City, and Mr. Boos agreed. <br /> <br />Chairperson Bawden inquired what were the requirements for a park head. <br /> <br />Mr. Boos stated that there are parking areas at park heads. <br /> <br />Commissioner Deemer questioned the trail head in Northfork. <br /> <br />Mr. Boos noted that this should be in a different area. <br /> <br />Chairperson Bawden inquired whether the Park and Recreation Commission was expected to adopt <br />this at their meeting on Thursday, December 8. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/December 6, 1994 <br /> Page 8 of 12 <br /> <br /> <br />
