Houlton Farm Planning Committee <br />October 26, 2015 <br />5.5 Fishing Plan <br />Page 3 <br />Ms. Seeger reported that the subcommittee has not met at the site yet but will set a <br />date. The subcommittee agreed to stay after the meeting to set a meeting date and <br />time. <br />5.6 Property Rules and Signage Committee Report <br />Mr. Anderson provided a list of categories the subcommittee came up with and <br />asked the full Committee to flush out the ones to remove. From there the <br />subcommittee will work on the details. <br />Mr. Anderson noted that property owners bordering this property are concerned <br />about hunting, so the Committee needs to make the signs as clear as possible. <br />Discussion ensued about the various proposed signs. It was noted that there are <br />specific signs that need to say "funding provided by Lassard grant"; any hunting and <br />fishing signs are specific to this property only; and conservation area boundary signs <br />need to be like Elk River's park signs, highly visible and placed every 500 feet. <br />The subcommittee will meet again after touring the Cedar Creek Conservation Area <br />and viewing their signage. <br />5.7 Friends Group Committee Report <br />Ms. Mroz and her subcommittee met and defined the purpose of the Friends group <br />into two areas: recruitment of members to help work the property and raising funds. <br />To do this, they developed a draft plan to hold a kick-off/pre-grand opening at the <br />property with a bonfire, tours with short or long hikes, music and refreshments to <br />recruit Friends members. Different dates and various plan details were discussed but <br />nothing was finalized <br />Ms. Mroz will meet with Sue Hicks, former President of the Friends of Sherburne <br />County Nature Preserve for ideas. <br />5.8 Tour of Cedar Creek Conservation Area <br />After discussing availability, it was decided the tour will be on Wednesday, <br />November 4s' at 10:OOam.
