The meeting of the Park and Recreation Commission could not be called to order
because a quorum was not present.
Commissioners Dave Anderson and Dana Anderson reviewed the issue of the trails in
Meadowvale Heights. Residents from the Meadowvale Heights area were present and
were asked to voice their concerns. The residents living on Elgin Drive presented a
petition. The petition indicated the following:
"This is a protest against any bike path that would be built in Phase II of the
Meadowvale Development. We feel that the path is unnecessary. The street is wide
enough for activities such as walking and biking. Our development is not a heavily
traveled area and the safety of our children is not in jeopardy. The bike path will cause
the area to become heavily traveled which we do not want. It would be a waste of
taxpayers money to put this bike path in. Please use the money in a better way."
No decision was made on this issue due to lack of a quorum.
Although there was not a quorum present. the Commissioners discussed the items on
the Park and Recreation Commission Agenda as follows:
· Sale of park property to Sherburne County for Road Improvement
· Access to the Elk River from Yankton Street
· North Meadows 3rd Preliminary Plat
· Trail Corridor along Dickinson Bus Garage
· Cass Property Development
· Bids on Lion I s park Trails
.. Landscape Plan for Downtown Porking Lot
No action was taken on these items due to lack of a quorum.
Respectfully submitted.
