Parks and Recreation Trail Master Plan Comments <br /> Staff <br /> • Potential concerns for the trails on the environmental departments end would be wetland <br /> impacts.The city ordinance allows nature trails comprised of natural materials within both <br /> the buffer strip and buffer strip setback, so that shouldn't be an issue.The only concern <br /> would be if the trails are proposed to go through wetlands which would then fall under the <br /> Wetland Conservation Act(WCA).Those would be case by case and require review from the <br /> State and Soil&Water Conservation District,the environmental department makes the final <br /> decision at the city level under WCA. <br /> • The trails along lakes or ponds may be more concerning but just something to review as they <br /> come along. <br /> • Should the library trail be connected to the south along Denver St? <br /> • Why the trail is on the south side of Meadowvale Road between County Road 1 and 209`'' <br /> Ave to only be pushed across Meadowvale Road? <br /> • Trials proposed around Kliever Marsh and Pintail Pond are not likely to happen. <br /> • No trail on north side of Hwy 10 from Upland Ave to the west. Can't cross at Hwy 10 <br /> bridge. Crossing can happen at Proctor. <br /> • Why have trails switch sides midpoint on both Meadowvale and Twin Lake Road? <br /> • Remove west side trail between CSAH 1 and existing trail <br /> • Keep trail on east side of Twin Lakes Road or add east side extension <br /> • 165th has widened shoulders to serve bike movements <br /> • Connect Kelley Farm to river? <br /> Sherburne County <br /> • County comments would be that with any new platting on County Roads,we request a 100' <br /> R/W corridor (50'each side of Centerline).We have allowed trails to be constructed within <br /> the 50'R/W. However,we do not allow a trail easement to be within the 50'. If the City <br /> would like a dedicated trail easement,it must be outside of the 50'. <br /> • We would certainly like to be kept informed of trail work you are proposing near and <br /> adjacent to our County roadways. It allows us to understand the connectivity of the trail <br /> system you are proposing. <br /> MnDOT <br /> (A) Below are MnDOT Metro District's preliminary comments on the Park Trail Master Plan Map <br /> ahead of your Parks and Recreation Commission meeting. <br /> MnDOT Metro District is unable to provide any substantive comments on the Trail Plan until it <br /> has gone past the concept level. However,we are able to offer the following guidelines: <br /> 1. Any bicycle/pedestrian trail or sidewalk that is within or crosses a MnDOT right-of-way will <br /> need to meet the requirements set forth in the MnDOT Bikeways Facility Design Manual <br /> (https://www.dot.state.mn.us/bike/design-engineering.html) and/or the Pedestrian Design <br />
