{ <br /> ty of MEMORANDUM <br /> lk <br /> River TO: Park and Recreation Commission <br /> FROM: Steven B. Ach, City Planner-Adf <br /> DATE: July 10, 1996 <br /> SUBJECT: Discuss Trail Development in <br /> Mississippi Oaks 2nd Addition <br /> The developer of Mississippi Oaks has recently submitted a final plat for the <br /> second addition of a multi-phase development. The second addition will <br /> include the continuation of a trail system that currently exists between <br /> Heritage Landing and Mississippi Oaks 1st Addition. Staff will be <br /> recommending that this trail be constructed as part of the improvements in <br /> Mississippi Oaks 2nd Addition to complete the trail system as planned. <br /> When the preliminary plat for Mississippi Oaks was originally presented to <br /> the Park and Recreation Commission in 1993, the overall trail development <br /> included the trail previously mentioned, as well as a continuation of the trail <br /> IDalong the east side of Riverview Drive extending up to County Road No. 30 <br /> (see attached map). This trail would be developed within the right of way; <br /> therefore, the proposed right of way for Riverview Drive has been expanded <br /> to 70 feet in width. This increased right of way and recommended trail <br /> construction is very similar to the trail in Meadowvale Heights 2nd that was <br /> to follow Elgin Drive. In light of the response from the residents in <br /> Meadowvale Heights 2nd and the similarity between the two trail corridors, <br /> staff thought it would be appropriate for the Park and Recreation <br /> Commission to consider whether a trail should be constructed in Mississippi <br /> Oaks 2nd Addition along local street. Since Riverview Drive is a local street <br /> coupled with the opposition from residents in Meadowvale Heights, the Park <br /> and Recreation Commission may wish to reconsider the trail concept in this <br /> development. The money saved in this development could be spent on other <br /> trail development. <br /> Attachments <br /> • City Council minutes dated 7/6/93 <br /> • Mississippi Oaks preliminary plat <br /> • Mississippi Oaks 2nd Addition <br /> • <br /> s:\council\mississ.doc <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
