Lana Huberty, Park & Recreation Commission representative, explained that the Commission recommends approval of the city park as part of this plat. even though the area is not identified on the Master Park Plan. She stated that the Commission will be updating the Master Plan and will include some areas which are not in the city sewer and water district, and may be suitable for cluster development. .

There being no further public comment, Chair Mesich closed the public hearing. Chair Mesich asked if Mr. Glines has contacted the Minnesota Land Trust. Mr. Glines stated that he has talked with them.
