MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF
THE ADVISORY PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1984
The meeting was cal led to order at 6:00 P.M. by Chairman Martin.
Members present included Martin, Fedde, Carroll, Kubik, Masin, Alt, Bertz and
Ketcham. Also present were the Director of Parks & Recreation Vraa and Steve
Sullivan, Landscape Architect. Chairman Martin lead an on-site tour of the
proposed LeMay Lake 1st Addition. It was indicated that the purpose of the
meeting was to determine whether the shoreline of LeMay's Lake, within the
proposed plat, Is suitable and useable for possible parks purposes. Landscape
Architect Steve Sullivan distributed a prepared analysis of the site
indicating slopes, setbacks, property corners and extent of parkland
dedication if this was to be the selected alternative.
There were numerous questions and discussions regarding the
potential opportunities for parkland useage, maintenance, zoning of adjacent
parcels, and the possibilities of acquiring scenic and trail easements.
Members indicated that acquisition by dedication would assure the City
absolute control and provide for protection of the site. It was noted,
however, that this parcel would then be landlocked and access for development
and maintenance would have to be through private property. Development of the
trail would be contingent upon successful acquisition of additional property
to the east and south. After considerable discussion by the Advisory
Commission, on a motion by Carroll, seconded by Alt, with all members voting
in favor, that the Parks & Recreation Commission recommend to the City
Council that a cash dedication be a condition of plat. Further, that the
developer provide for a 75-foot, scenic easement along the shoreline which
would prohibit the development of any man-made structure including docks,
gazebos, floating rafts, without prior approval of the Parks Recreation
Commission and City Council. The developer is also responsibile for providing
a tot lot within the development and for the designation of an open, green
space area suitable for adult free play. The developer is also to provide for
a trail easement within the 75-foot, scenic easement for possible future trail
construction by the City.

a draft for uses of the Kehne House to be presented to the City Council along
