.--Q N <br /> ITEM 7. <br /> ( <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> y of .„/ <br /> it t <br /> lk <br /> River TO: Park & Recreation Commission <br /> FROM: Steven B. Ach, City Planner, <br /> DATE: December 14, 1994 <br /> SUBJECT: Park and Recreation Needs for the <br /> Brady Property <br /> Early last week, Ron Bastyr (developer) and Lynn Caswell (engineer) met <br /> with Terry Maurer and myself to begin discussing the development of <br /> approximately 150 acres south of Ridgewood, west of Proctor, north of 193rd, <br /> and east of the City trail. This particular area has quite a few natural <br /> features including wetlands, topography, and a large number of trees in the <br /> northern half. Mr. Bastyr has given some thought on how this property could <br /> be developed, however, before proceeding much further, it is important the <br /> Park and Recreation Commission begin examining the park needs within this <br /> area and how those needs will directly affect this development. <br /> • Mr. Bastyr and Mr. Caswell will be at the meeting Wednesday night to <br /> participate in some general discussion on what the Park and Recreation <br /> Commission would like to see in this particular area and how those elements <br /> can be incorporated into the proposed development. <br /> Some of the items the Park and Recreation Commission may want to begin <br /> thinking about is the need for a east/west trail to connect with the old <br /> railroad bed which runs north and south. In addition, whether land is <br /> needed for a neighborhood park, or if the payment of cash would meet the <br /> Park and Recreation Commission requirements for this area. <br /> • councillparkrec:brady <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
