The <br />November 2005 meeting reviewed the sketch plan for a mixed-use residential development in <br />this district. The sketch plan was reviewed by the Planning Commission and 'City Council. Both <br />bodies directed the developer to modify the sketch plan and re-submit. The reviewed plans have <br />not been submitted; however, discussion of the sketch plan also included the park property on the <br />southwest side of Sunfish Lake. <br /> <br />This recreational district includes Emerald Pond, Flintwood Terrace and Hunter's Hill Parks. <br />Ramsey Elementary School is also in this Recreation District. The park amenities include <br />restrooms, parking, skating, hockey and warming house, softball fields, soccer/football field, play <br />areas, picnic areas and trails. <br /> <br />A request for proposal for concept planning in the park was issued in the fail of 2003. This was <br />the same time period that Ramsey Town Center was applying for and receiving final plat <br />approval. The proposal was not reviewed or accepted by the City Council at that time. The park <br />property is narrow and is bounded by Sunfish Lake on the east and Sunfish Lake Boulevard on <br />the west. The preliminary sketch included in one proposal showed a passive park with open area <br />for observing the lake and having picnics. <br /> <br />The recreation district includes Alpine Acres Townhomes, the Ponds Townhomes and Village of <br />Sunfish Lake along with multiple single family developments. <br /> <br />Civil Engineer II Linton indicated when they were discussing Town Center, there was a proposal <br />submitted for Sunfish Lake Park. <br /> <br />Park/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood indicated they are going forward with park planning of the <br />City owned space on the west side of the lake but they have not moved forward on it yet. The <br />City Council did not deny it. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns indicated at the last meeting they noted room for a trail would need to be <br />made. She thought the park should be more passive with a picnic area and a canoe or paddle <br />boat area. <br /> <br />Commissioner Shryock thought they could use it as a trail stop. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood thought it would be prudent to find out what type of use of <br />the land around there would be. He thought they could look at some shared parking available for <br /> <br />the public. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/January 12, 2006 <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
