Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes June 14, 2023 Page 5 Mr. Hecker presented the slides and his report. He noted that the trails master plan needs to be updated. He explained the difficulty of accessing the piece of property known as Scout Island other than by boat. Commissioner Anderson asked for the aerial to be pulled up. He also asked if the current homeowner has the same access via the road. Mr. Hecker confirmed they do. Commissioner Anderson said that normally the developer provides drawings or plans showing the easement. He does not remember ever not having something showing the width and location. Mr. Stremcha said that the commission could be specific in the motion. Secretary Larson pointed out on the map where boy scout leaders typically park and hike out to the land. Councilmember Beyer said that the logical place to put the easement would be off the cul-de-sac 30 feet wide. Commissioner Anderson made a motion to preserve a 30-foot-wide trail easement from the cul-de- sac adjacent to the City/Boy Scouts of America property in the most suitable location. Commissioner Brown made a second to the motion but there was more discussion and then Commissioner Anderson withdrew it. Commissioner Niziolek had questioned if they could ask for 30 feet or more out of lot five and take the edge to the west to have a parking feature. He said it does not appear that there will be a home on the west side of the cul-de-sac. Commissioner Anderson said then they are talking about wasting space. Commissioner Niziolek said that it is a piece of land that a homeowner would not want to maintain, especially if there is an easement going right through the center of it. It would also make the property line for parcel five nice and precise. Commissioner Anderson asked if the dotted line was the normal high-water line. Mr. Stremcha said he thinks it is the top of the slope. It was decided that it is the normal high-water mark. Moved by Commissioner Loidolt and seconded by Commissioner Anderson park dedications for The Cove to be paid, at the applicable park dedication rate when the lots are released for recording. Motion carried 7-0. Moved by Commissioner Niziolek and seconded by Commissioner Anderson to provide a trail easement on the west side of the cul-de-sac 30 feet wide with the potential of using the space on the southwestern portion of lot five. Motion carried 7-0. 7.1 Trott Brook Barn Loitering Concern Mr. Hecker said that the lighting has already been purchased and will be installed shortly. 8.
