NOTES AND COMMENTS FROM NORTHFORK PARK DEDICATION <br />WORK SHOP <br />Thursday, August 13, 2015 <br />What can a park bring to your neighborhood? <br />• Protect trees <br />• No baseball fields <br />• No athletic lights <br />• "Fitness" park OK (4 on sheet 1) <br />• No road in the location (2 on sheet 1) <br />• Street OK here (3 on sheet 1) <br />• Pedestrian connection to lake (5 on sheet 1) <br />• Increase accessibility to Lake Itasca Trail (6 on sheet 1) <br />• Kayak Kiosk <br />• Lake Itasca vegetative management (DNR) <br />• Preference = not residential <br />• Small/tiny playground <br />• Similar to Sunfish Lake <br />• Preserve natural state <br />• Water quality <br />• Not Central Park <br />• See Sunfish Lake Park <br />• "Nature" trail — not paved <br />• Interpretive trail <br />• Prefer passive improvement rather than sports complex <br />• Drainage concerns (on sheet 2) <br />COMMENT CARDS <br />• No multiunit buildings, no apartment, do not interrupt existing trail <br />• Prefer passive park, no ball fields, and no lights <br />• Protect trees, no baseball and soccer fields, no playground. Trails benches, and fitness <br />station <br />• NIMBY <br />• Protect trees, no athletic fields, no playground. Trail, benches and beauty <br />• Keep natural limited lighting, auto access. Allow for more opportunities to use the lake — <br />kayak, skating. Increase access points for pedestrians and bicycles. <br />• As a resident of Northfork I would be pleased to see a park in the proposed property. My <br />concerns would include; park concept (team sports vs wildlife and trails), parking and <br />lighting (minimal), park access to Lake Itasca (doc). If possible, discussion of park layout <br />would be helpful <br />
