She suggested staff look into the type of easement used by the City of <br />Anoka across the River for a third party conservation easement. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill stated staff will vet that option but noted this is a very <br />active park, which may impact a third party holding a conservation easement. <br />Councilmember Kuzma stated he would rather spend the $20,000 on roads than to plat a park and <br />he is comfortable with leaving this property as is. <br />The consensus of the Council was to keep this property as park and direct staff to vet options to <br />assure this property remains a park into perpetuity and obtain additional survey estimates. <br />
