Ril (,'()M i.U N I TY <br /> (•=12OW'rH City of <br /> INSTITUTE Pequot it\ <br /> PRE-MEETING DISCUSSION Lakes - <br /> We will be meeting at the south parking lot of Trailside <br /> Park (near the Chamber building) at 6:00 PM. <br /> Background Information: The "Pequot Lakes Downtown Plan" has been a work in progress since 2007. <br /> The plan has not officially been adopted. It was last updated in 2011. The City Council has directed to Planning <br /> Commission to review/update the plan since revitalization of the downtown area is a critical to the long-term <br /> financial health to the City. <br /> This month we will focus on"Vegetation Enhancements"and public art opportunities. <br /> Track changes to the current plan are identified below. <br /> In the near term, there are a number of low-cost initiatives that the City can undertake to improve the value of <br /> Trailside Park. Those include the following: <br /> 1. Install medium-height (4-6 feet) shrubs to provide a buffer between the trail and the north parking lot <br /> located near East Sibley Street. <br /> y <br /> s <br /> a <br /> . l <br /> s <br /> 8uffin <br /> 45=" <br /> 2. At the north end of the park, trees have been planted between the trail and the diagonal parking area on <br /> Government Drive. These trees should be allowed to mature so there is a perceived barrier between the <br /> trail and the street. Some sightlines should remain open between the park and Government Drive <br /> businesses so trail users can clearly see what Pequot Lakes has to offer. <br /> Pequot Lakes Staff Report <br /> July 17,2014 1 <br />
