The minutes of the 11/16/78 regular meeting were approved unanimously after a motion by Lichter and a second by Haller. A1 Sorteberg appeared before the commission to present the sketch plan of his 65 + acre development. The site is bounded on the north by 161st Ave, on the east by Variolite St and on the west by Armstrong Blvd. At present the site is entirely cultivated. After discussion the commission indicated that park land be contributed on the southwest corner of the development so that additional park property could be secured adjacent to the proposed devel- opment. This would be accomplished when the 80 acre tract south of the pro- posed development is subdivided. Kevin Wolter presented information on the probable cost of a new ice rink. A permanent rink is estimated to cost $5,000 for just the boards, screens and posts. A portable rink would run about $2,000. The commission discussed Titterud Park and suggested some additional items for addition to the resident questionaire prepared by commission member Irvine. The finalized version of the form and it's distribution procedure was tabled until the January meeting. The commission adopted a motion requesting the city administrator to update the existing map with new subdivision, park and other pertinent data. Motion made by Walz, second by Wolter, approved unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 9:05 p.m. Submitted by, John Lichter
