distance to the school would be over a quarter of a mile. The extension of 151 st Lane <br />N.W. would be within a few hundred feet of the school property. <br /> <br />The City's most recent Parks and Open Space Plan (adopted 1991) shows this specific area <br />as proposed park land. Given the proximity of the proposed Sunfish Lake Recreation Area <br />(Landfill park with possible connection to Sunfish Lake) the Fox Knoll site may not be <br />important for park land, but travel through the property is. The City's pending draft plan <br />also shows the connection of 153rd Avenue N.W. to the City's urban area via the Fox <br />Knoll site. Given the potential for urban densities through the entirety of the area, between <br />Sunfish Lake Boulevard N.W. and County Road #5, it is believed that a trail corridor will <br />be needed for transportation to recreation destinations, green space and also as a <br />recreational amenity itself. This segment will make a big difference in converting student <br />population (from the northwest and west) from being bussed to walking, in addition to <br />completing a comprehensive urban trail system. Because some of the area will be buffered <br />by wetlands, it is also an avenue for exposure to nature for Ramsey's urban residents. <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Motion to recommend the developer resolve with City Staff the location of a 35-foot trail corridor <br />that will be consistent with City plans and may accommodate future subdivision of the property <br />into urban lots. <br /> <br />and - <br /> <br />Motion to recommend that the developer be required to bring the subdivision before the <br />Commission prior to final plat approval. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor <br /> <br />P&R: 8/11/94 <br /> <br />Copies also distributed to: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />Mark Kleckner <br /> <br /> I <br />I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> ! <br /> I <br />! <br />I <br />! <br />! <br />I <br />I' <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />! <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br /> <br />
