Chair Cook asked if a percentage of developed acres was needed for open space. Mr. Boos <br />stated one outcome could be to cluster homes and protect open space. I-Ie said the findings of the <br />Comprehensive Plan could be used to develop momentum for the Trout Brook Corridor. The <br />Park Commission would need to work with the Planning Commission and the City Council on <br />how land use may occur. <br /> <br />Mr. Boos said it is important for the Commission to be involved with road projects and indicated <br />the importance of boulevard trees to the character of the community and recommended they be <br />added to the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />Case #3: Identify Ramsey Resident Article for June <br /> <br />Mr. Boos stated in keeping with the Park and Recreation Commission's desire to inform residents <br />regarding park issues, a topic should be selected for the next issue of the Ramsey Resident. He <br />suggested the Parks Capital Improvement Plan be explained in the upcoming issue. <br /> <br />Commissioner LaMere suggested City Parks be hi-lighted indicating their location and facilities <br />available at each site. Mr. Boos indicated the Park map calls attention to their locations and <br />stated the maps are available at City Hall for $3.00. A large version of the map is posted in <br />Council Chambers. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Commission was that a CIP article acknowledging June's meeting at Central <br />Park will work for the Ramsey Resident article. <br /> <br />Case #4: Directional Signage <br /> <br />Mr. Boos indicated $1,000 is available in the budget for park directional signage. He displayed an <br />area map and the Park Commission gave input for sign locations. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johns stated the RYAA map is useful as it shows park locations and indicates <br />facilities at each field. <br /> <br />Mr. Boos suggested Park signs contain the word "Park" with a directional arrow; signs could then <br />be used at multiple locations. The Commission agreed and stated signs should have white <br />lettering with a brown background. <br /> <br />Chair Cook inquired if staff contacted the County regarding directional signage along County <br />Road 116 and indicated the County may be responsible for all signs on county roads. <br /> <br />COMMISSION/STAFF INPUT <br /> <br />A) Note Anoka County Park and Recreation Committee Agenda <br /> <br />B) June Surplus Playground Equipment Award <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/May 14, 1998 <br /> Page 3 of 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
