Mr. Creorgye Mison showed rlans for a 206 acre parcel between County Road 30
and Cliff hoad, adjacent to and above Clearview in Sections 26 and 29. He
expects to rezone part of the pArcel from commercial to residential and sees
approximately 50 acres of rough terrain left as open space. Interior walkways
are planned and ~r. Nason expressed a willingness to work with a major trail
system over the N.S.P. easement. -
John Voss suggested that r illmus. Properties construct asphalt walkways
along; the easement during their ot~ er construction and that they develop a
public park site along the easement.. Credit for this work would require less
land to be dedicated. Mr. Nason will supply us with a copy of the plan when
it is revised.
John Voss and Eldon Haugla.nd discussed the sanitary sewer alignment
through Rahn School Park. It appeared that substantial damage to the site
will result and John and Eldon discussed the matter with Bob Rosene, who
indicated that some alterations could be made. Dale will discuss the matter
with Paul Uselmann and urban Planrdng will continue to work with the town
