MINNESOTA <br />��`` LAND TRUST <br />July 22, 2013 <br />Sandy Peine, City Clerk <br />City of Pequot Lakes <br />4638 County Road 11 <br />Pequot Lakes, MN 56472 <br />Re <br />Mayo Lake (O'Shaughnessy) <br />Cass & Crow Wing Counties <br />Project File ID#: # 2004 - 255 <br />Approval of Parking Area <br />Dear Ms. Peine, <br />. - �; <br />,. _ <br />�i�l -' �° ���� <br />Thank you for notifying us of your plan to construct and define a gravel parking area on the <br />Mayo Lake Park Preserve, which is protected with a conservation easement held by the <br />Minnesota Land Trust. It is the intent of the conservation easement to permanently preserve the <br />natural, scenic, and open space qualities of the property. <br />According to your plan, you propose adding a 60' x 20' gravel parking area approximately 400' <br />west of the Mayo Creek that will be defined by wooden posts along the edges. The parking area <br />is located in the area that cars have historically parked along the roadside of 69th Street. The area <br />currently contains level ground with a minimal amount of small trees and brush. You also plan <br />on installing signage for the park name (Mayo Lake Park Preserve) as well as the rules for the <br />park. <br />Paragraph 3.4 of the conservation easement allows for existing roads and trails to be maintained <br />but not expanded or relocated without the prior approval of the Minnesota Land Trust. Paragraph <br />3.5 of the conservation easement allows for minor rustic structures for low impact recreational <br />and educational programs or activities. Paragraph 2.7.b allows for small, unlighted signs for <br />informational or interpretive purposes. The Minnesota Land Trust, by this letter, approves your <br />plan for the gravel parking area defined with wooden posts and signage. <br />Please continue to keep us apprised of any changes or future plans for the property. Thank you <br />for your continued commitment to conservation and support of the Minnesota Land Trust. <br />>_356 University A�ienue West, Suite 240 <br />S�. Paul.
