Case #2: Recommend Park Dedication for Nordvik Addition <br /> <br />Mr. Chmielewski informed the Commission that it has been determined there is no need for a park <br />in the Nordvik Addition. <br /> <br />In response to Commissioner Rolfe, Chairperson Cook confirmed park dedication monies would be <br />used in the Lake Itasca Park district. <br /> <br />A motion by Commissioner Johns and seconded by Commissioner Asfahl to recommend park <br />dedication be satisfied by a cash payment to the Lake Itasca Recreation of the greater of 5 percent <br />of fair market value or $1.00 per square foot for the new lot created. <br /> <br />Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Cook, Commissioners Johns, Asfahl, LaMere, Ostrum, <br />and Rolfe. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner Droegemueller. <br /> <br />Case #3: <br /> <br />Receive Facsimile from Anoka County Parks Pertaining to Rum River Central <br />and Mississippi West Parks <br /> <br />Mr. Chmielewski shared a color-boundaried map with the Commission. <br /> <br />Chairperson Cook talked about revisions--deletions and additions--made (i.e. elimination of <br />campground originally proposed). Other considerations have included the 100-year flood plain which <br />require certain characteristics. He added canoes can be rented so that park can be viewed from the <br />fiver; he enthusiastically encouraged Commission members to this. <br /> <br />In closing, Chairperson Cook suggested directing Staffto send correspondence to Anoka County <br />commending on the park's design; Commission members concurred. Commissioner Rolfe added it <br />would be beneficial to inquire about any updates on the Mississippi Regional Park, perhaps including <br />comments about the prior request by the Commission for continued efforts in the development of an <br />arboretum. <br /> <br />Case #4: Update on the Comprehensive Planning <br /> <br />Mr. Chmielewski indicated there is a desire for future Commission representation when developing <br />the City Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />Chairperson Cook added the Parks and Recreation Commission has a good Park & Trail Plan and <br />that it was important for the Commission to explore dovetailing into other commissions' goals and <br />objectives. Commissioner Johns added an importance to capitalize on what has already been <br />accomplished and what can be based on current "green infrastructure" and future trails and parks <br />locations; this is a calling card for Ramsey. Chairperson Cook agreed with Commissioner Johns. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/July 10, 1997 <br /> Page 3 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
