<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Park & Recreation Commission Minutes <br />February 14,2001 <br />Page 9 <br /> <br />Ms. McPherson noted that a rough estimate for 2001 improvements to the Devine <br />barn in Trott Brook Farms Park will be provided at a future meeting. <br /> <br />9.C.5. Doa Feces on Railroad Trail <br /> <br />Commissioner Dave Anderson reviewed photographs taken behind the homes of <br />several residents in Lafayette Woods adjacent to City trail property (Woodland <br />Trails). He explained problems for trail users caused by the excessive amount of <br />dog feces on the trails. Members of the Commission were in agreement that <br />since the owners have already been warned, the next step would be for the <br />police department to issue citations. <br /> <br />Commissioner Dave Anderson also provided photographs of erosion behind 5-6 <br />homes in Lafayette Woods from the hills down to the City trail. He felt the erosion <br />is due to people using their backyards as a cut-through to the trail and by <br />children going to school. Commissioner Anderson stated that if the problem is not <br />addressed, the City will be faced with a maintenance issue in the near future. <br />Staff will send a letter to the affected homeowners, advising them to use the trail <br />access points which are provided. <br /> <br />9.C.6.
