Subject: Pine Tree Pond Trail
Introduction
The Pine Tree Pond Park trail system is scheduled for construction in 2012. This paved recreational
trail would connect 80` Street to the archery range and Isleton Court while also providing trail access to
the parks many features including the playground, archery range, pond, woods and rolling grasslands.
Background
The Parks Commission and the City have continually identified the Pine Tree Pond Park area as a key
opportunity to further expand the community's recreational trail system. A paved trail system through
the park has been identified in the city's capital improvements plan and trailway master plan for nearly
10 years. Park Department staff has been working with engineering and stormwater utility staff to
provide a trail that suits both the recreational needs of the community as well as maintenance and
accessibility needs of the Public Works Department. As such, a plan to excavate and base the trail has
been budgeted for while park staff seeks grant opportunities from the MN DNR to pave the trail. This
grant application was recommended and approved by both the Parks Commission and City Council. It
was submitted to the MN DNR in October of 2011 for an amount totaling $48,000. Considering funding
sources and project timelines, this trail project may replicate that of the West Central Ravine /Kingston
trail project where paving occurs a year after excavation and laying of base material. However, staff
will continue making ample effort to complete the project start to finish in 2012.
As is common practice when new trails are installed in existing residential areas, staff will mail a letter
with the project description to all residents within 100 feet of the planned trail. Those residents will be
offered a Parks Commission meeting to publicly voice their concerns to the commission for
consideration. That will likely take place at the February or March meeting.
This memo is prepared in advance of the public notice so that commissioners may review the project
proposal in advance of potentially engaging discussion with concerned residents.
Recommendation
No recommendation is requested at this time.
