Park & Recreation Minutes October 14, 1998 Page 3 e Commissioner Peterson indicated that cities with large areas left to be developed would need to require larger park dedication than cities which are near full development. The Commissioners were in agreement that Elk River's fees should be at the higher end in comparison to the cities which were surveyed, since they are just beginning their park development. Chair Anderson felt $900 per lot should be considered. He also suggested that a trail fee be required, or, if a trail is identified within a proposed development, the developer be required to provide the trail. The Commissioners requested staff to provide, more information on the fo.llowing issues for the November 11, 1998, Park and Recreation meeting: -How often the park dedication fees are changed in the cities surveyed. -The City of Becker's park dedication requirements on a "case-by-case" basis. -Why some cities indicate only a land contribution and not cash. 8. Eaqle Scout Proiect {Rvan Anderson e Eagle Scout Ryan Anderson was present to discuss a project in Woodland Trails Park. He felt there is a need for a more detailed trail guide map, aluminum or wooded signs at the trails with a map of the trails, an informational booth, and a monument sign identifying the entrance to the park. Ryan Anderson proposed that his project would consist of updating and detailing the trail guide map, placing the trail map signs, and erecting the information booth. He explained that his project must be completed by April. so he likely would not be able to erect the monument sign at the entrance, but he could possibly dig the footings if there were plans available for the sign before winter. The Commissioners discussed possible construction materials to use for the trail map signs. Chair Anderson indicated that Commissioner Dave Anderson was not able to be present and has asked that it be noted he supports the project and will continue to work with Ryan Anderson. Phil Hals indicated that his department may be able to make the signs at the trail heads using their vinyl cutter, but he was not sure they would be able to make the maps. Ryan indicated he would come back next month with a map, and proposals for materials. 7.c. Approved Park Concept Reductions e Steve Wensman indicated concept plans for various parks in the city. It was the consensus of the Commissioners to include the concept plans in the Master Park Plan. Steve indicated he would discuss this issue with Steve Rohlf.
