A list of parcels to be acquired and the estimated total cost <br /> and schedule for their acquisition, and information on natural resources, site suitability, special <br /> assessments, potential contamination based on data from the Minnesota Pollution Control <br /> Agency and other conditions that affect acquisition of the site or location of the boundaries. <br /> • Stewardship plan: A program for managing park property, including activities, expenses and <br /> anticipated revenue prior to developing the property for recreation purposes. Planned non- <br /> recreation uses and disposition of revenue from such use should be detailed. <br /> • Demand forecast: The recreational demand to be met by the site as identified by the Council, <br /> the regional park implementing agency, or other sources. <br /> • Development concept: A plan for recreational development and natural resource management <br /> that should include: <br /> Description and location of planned development and natural resources <br /> management projects. <br /> Approximate capacity of each facility. <br /> Mapping of existing and planned local and regional trail connections to the site and <br /> information on how they relate to development within the park. <br /> Wayfinding signage plan, indicating the types of signs and general locations within <br /> the park. <br /> Information on the source and location of drinking water that is adequate for the <br /> recreational uses of the park. <br /> Schedule and cost estimates for each project. <br /> Conflicts between recreational and natural-resource management needs in <br /> developing the park/trail unit should be addressed and resolved.
