It was noted that the old barn on Lot 14 may be under the jurisdiction of the Anoka County Historical Society. On October 12, 1989, the Ramsey Park and Recreation Commission heard the staff recommendation to take land along Trott Brook, the North/South Corridor along the easterly boundary known as Lot 5, Block 1, then going east across Lots 6 through 14, Block 1, along the northerly border of the plat along State Highway #47 down to the southern border of the plat. It was also recommended that the trail corridor be approximately 100 - 125' in width along Trott Brook and a 75' wide trail right-of-way be provided on the easterly side. The remainder amount of park dedication to be satisfied with cash. There was a motion which was adopted by the Ramscy Park and Recreation Commission that the staff recommendation for land be accepted for park dedication with the remainder in cash. During the week of October 30, 1989, the subdivider resubmitted the proposed plat as a Planned Unit Development (PUD). On November 6, 1989, the Ramsey Planning and Zoning Commission conducted the public heating for Trott Brook Ponds PUD and tabled this case until their special meeting scheduled November 21, 1989. At the public hearing, concerns were expressed, among other things, regarding access to parcels around the north portion of the proposed PUD.

On December 14, 1989, the Ramsey Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the enlarged Trott Brook Ponds P.U.D. It was noted that; 1) the easterly trail corridor would run by an old barn which may be an historical site, 2) a portion of the dedicated land area is wetlands, 3) only a portion of the park dedication requirement was met with land in the original concept plan.
