development and that the trail system will be in conflict with the golf course. They will bring it up at the next meeting. Claudia Dodge handed out a report on the Ramsey Community Education Budget which she intends to bring to the City Council. ~Case ~5 Discussion reyardin~ park dedication for Riverview Estates/Randy Elofson Merland Otto told the Commission that Riverview Estates Plat came in under the former park dedication ordinance which required either land or cash. If they elect to go under the new ordinance the City would take 35 feet and the remainder in cash. Randy Elofson stated he would like to see a trail right-of-way of about 18 feet. That together with the road right-of-way should be sufficient. Randy Elofson told the Commission that he was informed by Pete Raatikka that the front street easement would be sufficient for the trail corridor. Randy also said that he was surprised when the Commission asked for more land for park dedication. Merland Otto offered an option which would reduce the easement on the south side of the road. In order for this to work, the applicant would have to agree to work under the new ordinance° Randy Elofson said that he wants to work under the old ordiance and pay the fees but he would not disagree to giving some of the land and paying cash for the rest as long as it didn't effect the lot sizes° Merland Otto was directed to determine the width of the trail corridor that could be dedicated while not affecting minimum lot sizes of 20,000 square feet. John Lichter suggested that Randy Elofson negotiate with City staff. The consensus of the Commission was to table this issue. COMMISSION INPUT None. The consensus of the Commission was to adjourrn the meeting at 9:40. Respectfully submitted Kathy Johnson Secretary Park and Recreation Commission/September 15, 1988 Page 4 of 4
