TOWIT OF EAGAN, DAKOTA iamsESOTA
March 8, 1971
Members present: Neil Coates, Dale Everson, Bob Ferguson, Bill Harris, Barb
Schmidt
Also present: Arnold Carlson, Cliff Aichinger
Bill Harris chaired the meeting. The minutes were approved as mailed.
Mr. Carlson appeared regarding possible dedication of part of a lake
and some shoreline along Pilot Knob Road. After considerable discussion it was
agreed that since Mr. Carlson is now developing only 28 acres of a possible 110
acre total the Park Board recommends that park dedication be deferred until
more of the land is platted so that the part; could best be planned to serve
the total area. Neil Coates made a motion to that effect. Dale Everson
seconded it. The western slope leading to Carlson Lake would be an excellent
potential site and would provide one large rather than several small park areas
and would therefore be easier to develop and to maintain. A memo will be writ-
ten to the Town Board to explain our recommendation. Possible dedication of
walkways was also discussed.
The Finance Committee reported on the budget meeting with the Town
Board at which our appropriation w4a set at $20,000 for the coming year. A
discussion followed regarding the Township report of our expenditures and a
further breakdown will be requested.
Since the price asked by Jandric for the outlots proposed as an
extension to Rahn Park seemed extremely high, it was suggested that perhaps a
trade could be worked out with the Cedar Grove 8 and 9 dedications to again
provide one larger part: which could better serve the entire area. This will be
mentioned to the Town Board and the matter will be studied further.
John Voss could provide us with 10 small concept plans for Blackhawk
Lake Park for a cost of $640 and it was deciled that he be asked to do so.
Charles Hall was re-elected chairman, Bill Harris was elected vice-
chairman and Barb Schmidt remains as secretary.
Bill Harris reported on attending the Town Board meeting at which a
correction was made in the minutes to include the Park Board report. Represen`-,
Lives of the Muskie-Tansey development on Coachman Road were asked to meet wirill
the other involved property owners regarding a dedication of park land in that
area. They will be attending a future Park Board meeting with their proposal.
Bill Harris also reported to the Town Board on the current status of the HUD
application.
The meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Barbara Schmidt
Secretary
