111 If this trail south of County Road 30 is located as proposed by the developers, it would run between their plat and land owned by Ery Moldenhaurer. Mr. Moldenhaurer has expressed interest in platting his property, however, nothing official has been applied for. There would be a gap between the right-of-way of County Road 30 and the trail proposed by the developers of Heritage Landing until Mr. Moldenhaurer plats and subsequently dedicates land for this connection. Issue Should this trail system be located between these subdivisions and, consequently, in people' s back yards, or along a road system where traffic is expected (along the proposed Gary Street in this plat or along a future road further east on Mr. Moldenhaurer' s land) ? Also, consider whether or not Outlot B as proposed by the developers or 180th Avenue should be the connection from Heritage Landing to this trail system. This issue should be specifically addressed in your recommendation to the City Council on this plat. * * * * * * * * • The trail as proposed accesses the west end of the future area wide park along the Mississippi. There will be other accesses as well as internal trails needed in this area wide park. Issue Should these internal trails connect to the downtown river walk and, if so, how would they cross the Elk River? This issue does not directly relate to your review of this plat. B. OWNERSHIP Issue Who should have fee ownership of the land underlying the trail? There are two alternatives to who owns the land: 1) the land the trail is situated on could be made part of the individual lots with the City having rights to use this land as a trail through easement. Consider whether or not it would be right to have individual lot owners paying taxes on land and having personal liability for land used as a public trail; 2) the trail could be dedicated to the City through the platting process so the City has fee ownership. Staff feels this is the most • reasonable option.
