• Item #9.C.2. <br /> i1k ity <br /> River <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Park and Recreation Commission <br /> FROM: Michele McPherson,Director of Planning <br /> DATE: August 8, 2001 <br /> SUBJECT: Lafayette Woods Trail Connection <br /> Attachments <br /> • Location Map <br /> • Letter from Alyssa and Jason Klein <br /> • Photograph of Area <br /> • Analysis <br /> Staff received the attached letter from neighbors adjacent to the Lafayette Woods trail <br /> corridor connecting 196th Court and 196th Circle to Lafayette Woods Park. As can be seen <br /> on the attached picture,the area in question is in need of improvement when compared to <br /> the existing home on the right. It is anticipated that the home on the left will also have sod. <br /> The residents'letter requests that the City either install the asphalt trail or install black dirt <br /> and sod in this area, which they would water. <br /> In 2000 when this area was inspected as part of the Commission's yearly park tour,it was <br /> decided to not pave this trail connection until a formal trail through Lafayette Woods could <br /> be established. If the Commission desires,staff could kill the weeds,provide black dirt and <br /> seed,and allow the neighbors to water this area. Staff would also fence the area to prevent <br /> bicycles from entering until such time that the grass is established. <br /> It is my understanding that Commissioner Dave Anderson has related items to discuss <br /> regarding Lafayette Woods Park. <br /> Recommendation <br /> 411 Staff requests that the Commission provide further direction regarding this issue. <br /> S:\PLANNING\MICHMC\PARKNREC\LafayetteTrail.doc <br />
