Mr. Edmonds replied that they do have volunteers at the site and there is only a minor <br />amount of trouble. He stated that he would be willing to be part of the committee. <br /> <br />Chairperson Cook inquired if there is a liability issue. <br /> <br />Mr. Edmonds replied that a lot of the open parks have a three foot and under rule which is <br />legal to have a free open park so that there is not the liability issue. <br /> <br />Unknown resident inquired if four wheelers would be allowed in the park. <br /> <br />Chairperson Cook replied that no motorized use will be allowed in the park. <br /> <br />Unknown resident inquired if the entrance to the park will be locked when it is not in use. <br /> <br />Commissioner Droegemueller replied that parks are patrolled regularly and that would be <br />an issue with the Ramsey Police. Typically, the community parks are not locked. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rolfe noted that City parks close after dark, with the exception of sporting <br />activities that take place under lights. <br /> <br />Councilmember Connolly noted that the Police Department has already requested that the <br />crime prevention specialist assist in the design of the park. <br /> <br />Unknown resident stated that it seems to be more of a sports complex than a park. <br /> <br />Chairperson Cook replied that the park is not built or designed at this point and that is the <br />reason they are going through this process. <br /> <br />Same resident stated that he raises dogs and would like to have a buffer to keep the dogs <br />quite. He has not had a complaint in 14 years and does not want to start receiving <br />complaints. He stated that he is not against anything with the park but does not want to <br />have complaints about his dogs with the increased use. <br /> <br />Unknown resident stated that he would like to see a more diverse use with more picnic <br />grounds, skating, ponds, and keeping the wildlife. <br /> <br />Unknown resident stated that there is a ditch on the south side of the park that heads west <br />and the DNR has a neighborhood wilds program that they could work with for the <br />residents to receive. He suggested looking at a plan on a larger perspective. There is a <br />Minnesota Design Team that works for free which they could incorporate in the project. <br />It was suggested that looking at the project more comprehensively makes sense and will <br />bring in more grant money. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission Work Session <br />December 14, 2000 <br /> Page 4 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
