COMMUNITY GROWTH <br /> I N S T I T U T E <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> To: City of Pequot Lakes Park Board <br /> From: Lisa Barajas, City Planner <br /> Date: January 31, 2006 <br /> Re: Map of Parks <br /> The Park Board is charged with the planning and maintenance in parks in the City, as well as <br /> making recommendations to the Planning Commision on park dedication fees and/or land <br /> dedications within new subdivisions. <br /> In order to better plan the park system in the City, it would help to have a map of exisitng parks and <br /> existing plats. We are currently working on the plat map and need to finalize some details of plat <br /> boundaries, and that will be ready by the next Park Board meeting. The park map, however, is a <br /> little more difficult to assemble without having a more intimate knowledge of the City. We have <br /> pulled out from the County's parcel data all properties that are owned by the City, Crow Wing <br /> County, Independent School District #186, the Pequot Cemetary Assocation, the Department of <br /> Natural Resources, and the Township of Sibley. In addition, we have added the Paul Bunyan Trail, <br /> The Preserve Golf Course, and all tax forfeited properties. <br /> We need assistance in completing the map. Obviously, not all the City-owned properties are parks. <br /> We are requesting that each Park Board member spend the next month drawing on the working <br /> maps to show the locations of existing parks and please include their names. Some properties, like <br /> the DNR properties and the tax forfeited properties, may serve recreational purposes even if they <br /> aren't marked officially as parks. If this is the case, please mark that on the maps. For example, the <br /> DNR property just north of Middle Cullen might be open for hunting or hiking purposes. Properties <br /> like the School District ones were included because there are recreational facilities available there. <br /> Please take the time to fill out as much of the working map as you can prior to the March meeting so <br /> that we can discuss everybody's maps at that meeting. <br /> 14084 Baxter Drive, Suite 7 <br /> Baxter, MN 56425 <br /> (218) 828-3064 <br /> www.communitygrowth.com <br />
