A 10/17/92 West Sherburne Tribune article was distributed which outlined the County Board discussion on the options available related to the fairgrounds assessments, expansion, and/or relocation. 4.1. Discussion on City and County Fairground Issues Mayor Duitsman requested Mark Graham to provide some background on the City's need for road right-of-way in the southeast corner of the fairground property. Mark distributed two maps which showed the general location of Orono Parkway and the two options that are being evaluated for right-of-way from the County for this parkway to continue to the west. Mark indicated that it is the intent of the City to have the parkway intersect with a north/south street between Highway 10 and County Road 30 in the vicinity of Joplin Street. Orono Parkway on the south and Joplin Street on the west would, at this time, be proposed to abut County property. Utilities would also be extended when the parkway construction takes place. General discussion took place regarding the road alignment and the need to save trees on the Lakoduk property as a wooded area is immediately south of the fairgrounds in the location where the road needs to be extended. It was the general consensus of the Fairboard and the County Board that the City should request and obtain as little property from the County as necessary for this road extension. A general discussion took place between the County Board and the County Fairboard regarding the existing parking lot, expansion of the fairgrounds to the west, access to the County fairgrounds from the south, and the Commission that has been established to study this situation. The major focus of this discussion was whether or not the County should sell the City the parking lot immediately west of the softball fields and retain use of this parking area during the County Fair (and other County functions) and then also obtain additional land on the west side of the fairgrounds in exchange for selling the City this fairground parking lot. Discussion also took place regarding future assessments to the County for street, storm sewer, lateral water
