Park and Recreation Commission Notes
.~ September 7, 1976
The meeting was canceled due to lack of quorum. Discussions were
held. Those members in attendance were: Joe ~etz, Phyllis Pope and
Pat Boyle. Absent were: Denis Stedman, Margaret Thompson, Ron Berg
and Shirley Challis. Interested persons present: Bruce Pankonin and
Rick Sather.
ECKLUND/SWEDLUND LOTUS LAKE PRK: Bruce Pankonin presented Plan F.
The Park and Recreation Commission is to be concerned with the park
areaJ approximately nine (9) acres, location and specific details.
There are approximately 144 dwelling lots on 84 acres in this
development. Where the park is now being proposed would not be cent-
rally located and on very flat open land. There could be a publfuc
access to the park on Hiway 101.
Pat Boyle suggested an additional walk way to the pond area from the
north side.
City jurisdiction would mean no changes in the conservation.
f~
Pat Boyle and Phyllis Pope suggested that the 50 foot easement from
the 100 year storm elevation be dedicated to the City of Chanhassen.
Phyllis Pope suggested that since Lotus Lake is a large asset to the
City of Chanhassen, we should be very concerned as to what is done
with the lake.
The Park and Recreation Commission recommended that the area defin.i:tely
does need park land. The parcel of land north of Sandy Hook Road and
East of Lotus Lake and vvest of 101 and South of the Ecklund/Swedland
proposal be seriously considered as potential park dedication for the
City of Chanhassen.
GREENWOOD SHORES: There can be no skating rink placed in Greenwood
Shores because they were unable to obtain land to be flooded.
LAKE ANN PARK EXPANSION: Nothing new to report.
WESTERN HILLS PARK: The entrance should be filled before winter.
BUDGET: Del Gregory called Joe Betz regarding the lawn mower which was
not placed on the budget. The Park and Recreation Commission
recommended that the lawn mower be given a priority of one (1) on the
budget.
The Park and Recreation Commiss~on suggested that Kay Klingelhutz be
asked to attend the next meeting to discuss this year's and last
year's budget through August 31, 1976 and the accounting procedures.

Recreation Commission.
