Park and Recreation Commission <br />Meeting Date: 10/11/2018 <br />By: Mark Riverblood, Engineering/Public <br />Works <br />5. 2. <br />Information <br />Title: <br />Consider a Plan to Incent Voluntary Trail Easement Acquisitions <br />Purpose/Background: <br />The purpose of this case is to discuss opportunities to fill gaps in the Circle of Ramsey Greenway, by inviting <br />landowners to considervoluntarily conveying trail easements within the cattail wetland west of Variolite Street. It is <br />important to stress, that this would be a voluntary easement dedication, and landowners would be compensated for <br />the easement area within the wetland. <br />If the Commission concludes that this plan has merit to proceed, it would then go to City Council for consideration. <br />The two attachments show the 'gap' area, and show three of several more different configurations that would close <br />the east to west gap by willing landowners. <br />Notification: <br />Observations/Alternatives: <br />Funding Source: <br />No funding is required at this time. Compensation for the dedication of voluntary easements would be discussed in <br />the future, when a plan to invite landowners to consider voluntary trail easements would be formalized. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recomends forwarding the concept to incent voluntary trail easement acquisitions to City Council for further <br />discussion and potential approval. <br />Action: <br />Based upon discussion, motion to forward the concept to incent voluntary trail easement acquisitions to City <br />Council for further discussion and potential approval. <br />Greenway gap area <br />easement location options <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Grant Riemer MaryJo Warner 10/05/2018 03:34 PM <br />Form Started By: Mark Riverblood Started On: 10/04/2018 03:19 PM <br />Final Approval Date: 10/05/2018 <br />
