Rob Kalstabakken, 5571 Sunwood Drive Ramsey, stated that if the City agrees to add the <br />segments instead of the trail along Sunwood Drive then he would want a guarantee that there will <br />never be a trail on Sunwood Drive. <br /> <br />Chairperson Cook explained that the trail along Sunwood Drive was included in the trail plan <br />because it aligns with the current trail system. <br /> <br />Ms. Kalstabakken stated that if the sidewalk is placed on the north side of Sunwood Drive people <br />will have to cross their driveway which will make for a very dangerous situation when all the <br />turn lanes are added also. The south side of Sunwood Drive does not have any driveways and no <br />street signs, or utilities. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos stated that the issue is not north or south of Sunwood drive, only <br />to decide if the other segments should be added and if so would it remove the need for the trail <br />along Sunwood Drive. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rolfe stated that the trail to Solstice park would be beneficial, but should be <br />considered in the future when the funds would be available. <br /> <br />Commissioner Asfahl stated that the trail to Solstice park isn't a necessary, and should be. <br />considered a low priority, but would be a nice to link to the park. <br /> <br />Chairperson Cook stated that the additional segments should be included on the trail plan, but <br />does not eliminate the need for a trail along all of Sunwood Drive. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rolfe inquired if there is adequate space for a trail. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos replied yes. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rolfe stated that avoiding driveways and utilities is the best, but the Commission <br />cannot make a decision in regards to what side of the road the trail will be. <br /> <br />Chairperson Cook stated that it should be up City Planning and Engineering to decide the best <br />location for the trail. <br /> <br />Consensus was reached that a trail should be ultimately installed south of Sunwood Drive along <br />C.R. #5 to T.H. #47 and that the Park and Trail Plan should show a Sunwood Drive to Solstice <br />Park connection. The Commission was also in agreement that these segments did not preclude a <br />continuos "trail" along Sunwood Drive. <br /> <br />Case #1: Public Hearing on the 2000-2004 Parks Capital Improvement Plan <br /> <br />Chairperson Cook called the public hearing to order at 6:07 p.m. <br /> <br />Presentation <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/October 14, 1999 <br /> Page 3 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
