<br />opposite from the City staff agenda and path taken in past years, while a Developer w~s proposing many <br />ideas to the city, and an increase Above R~1 zoning was suggested. <br /> <br />Some land on the West shore of this lake is now owned by the City, It is not yet designated for Park, and <br />as far as I can determine, has. no restrictions on. its use in the acquiring documents. therefore options to <br />use this for other purpOses does exist. A small passive picnic area in the North property would be nice! <br />and with the DNR restrictions on this lakes shore use, it would be nearly impossible to build a structure in <br />this area where the grandfathered nonconforming structures were removed. <br /> <br />There are several alternativeS toa trail connecting Alpine Park to the Sunwood Drive trail, not limited to <br />an almost straight trail on property that is already under State or City control west of SunfISh Lake Blvd. <br />That would take people down the west side of the wetland area along county 57, and provide much more <br />wildlife for viewing. and not intrude on any properties privacy. This would also be much safer in concept <br />and keep people away from the County .57 right of way where traffic.is regularly traveling in excess 9160 <br />MPH. <br /> <br />A trail along the West Side of Grass Lake would also have to have irs south end .within the 'right of way of <br />county 57, where it would connect to the Sunwood Drive trail. This access restriction is in the documents <br />for acquiring the Parcels to construct Sunwood Drive. <br /> <br />Ther'!) are. many reasons for NOT PUTTING a trail along the shoreline, First and foremost is that people <br />on this lake do not want it. I understand that a Passive public area, with NO VEHICLE PARKING would <br />be accepted and I am not opposed to that. <br /> <br />I can agree with many good things the city attempts to do. but to plan something over and over until the <br />taxpayers just give up is not something I would support. We once threw out a council majority including a <br />mayor in an election over actions opposing the citizens wishes at that time. <br /> <br />My property has already suffered the great devaluation by having its Lake frontage removed with .the <br />installation of a Street across it. I do not wish to see friends and neighbOrs suffer this same problem. <br /> <br />Sincerely <br /> <br />B!eemer.Q' <br />.I~ :~-7~~- ..... <br />f. ~Sunfish Lake Blvd. / <br />
