Page 5 <br /> • Some of the areas currently of interest to the e Park and Recreation <br /> Commission for possible area wide parks include a naturally unique <br /> tamarack swamp in the northwest area of Elk River, a area of floodplain <br /> adjacent to the Elk River, and an island in the Mississippi River. <br /> Special Use Parks <br /> An example of a special use is the fishing pier in Orono Park. Typically, <br /> these special uses would be an enhancement of an amenity in a neighborhood <br /> or area wide park and not a park in and of themselves. It may not be <br /> possible to pre-identify these special uses and they will have to be taken <br /> advantage of as opportunities arise. <br /> Conclusion <br /> Map #5 shows a preliminary concept of all the park components discussed. <br /> There will be changes to this concept prior to the final version of the revised <br /> Master Park Plan. That final version cannot be finished prior to a revised <br /> Land Use Plan. However, the Park and Recreation Commission felt that <br /> even a preliminary version and the rationale behind their revised park plan <br /> • may be of some benefit to the Steering Committee. <br /> Lastly, there are other common issues that the Park and Recreation <br /> Commission wish to discuss with the Steering Committee at this meeting. <br /> These issues include an ISTEA Grant to improve the railroad hiking trail <br /> (total project cost is $277,500) and an east/west road corridor through Elk <br /> River that may divide Woodland Trails Park and the Elk River Country Club. <br /> • <br /> PP-sr/bz <br />
