Manager W'.11is reviewed the 1978 preliminary layout for proposed Lounty
Road 9 between County Road lE and I-494 as prepared by Hennepin County
and endorsed by the Planning Commission. Council discussed the Planning
Commission's recommendation that existing County Road 9 should inter-

of the types of intersections proposed for Larch and Goldenrod Lanes,
I-494 and County Road 61.

9, BETWEEN COUNTY ROAD 18 AND I-494, subject to the recommen

Medicine Lake Boulevard (County Road 61) and subject to the
further recommendation that provision be made for a future
grade separation at the intersection of proposed County Ruad
9 and West Medicine Lake Boulevard (County Road 61). FURTHER,
because of inaccessibility to land in the northeast and
southeast quadrants of the County Road 9'I-494 intersection, it
is recommended that access be provided to these quadrants at
a point midway between Ccunty Road 61 and I-494 with a
service road connection to Xenium Lane from that point.

Acting Mayor.Spaeth expressed concern that the proposed plan would
serve only one portion of the Citv and two of the proposed parks
were on the boundary of the City and would be serving residents of
our neighboring community. He felt the first need was to serve the
parts of the City that are already developed and have an immediate
need for parks. Councilmember Hoyt felt the proposed plan would
offer only three usable facilities all located on the boundaries
of the community and felt Ridgemount should not be considered as
a viable part of this package. She questioned why the proposed
Plymouth Creek park had been mliminated. Mr. Born replied it was
omitted due to its physical proximity to Central Park.
Councilmember Neils stated the Plymouth Creek area, as well as the
entire northeast quadrant of the City, was ia: owinq at a rapid
rate and had no park facilities. He also expr ;sed concern that
a bond issie with one-third of the proceeds destined for land
acquisition would be hard to sell. He stated a bond issue should
serve the immediate needs of the City, while park dedication funds
could be used for land acquisition for future needs.
Councilmember Hoyt expressed concern that the newly-adoptea 5 -year
C.I.P. was not considered in tF-ib proposal ind the central and
northeast portions of the City were ignores. Shot agreed current
needs for parks must be met before land acquisition is made for
the future and stated the Plymouth geek site must be developed
and the Zachary Lane site acquired and developed at this time.
Bob Troemel and J i m Gudda 1, PRAC Commissioners, stated the Coomi s-
sion felt land at Greenwood should be acquired while it was still
available since that portion of ;:he City is also growing rap -'Idly.
They felt PRAC had misunderstood Council's direction about park
development at the previous joint Council/PRAC meeting.
Council discussed the proposed telephone survey to obtain citizen
input prior to offering a referendum to the citi'.lils for play -
field a.:yuisition and development ;end what specit is information
should be obtained to be developed by a consultant.
MOTION was made by Councilmember Neils. seconded by Council -
member Hoyt, to adopt R;SOLUTION NO. 78-313, A RESOLUTION
AUTHORIZING THE DEVELOPMENT, ADMINISTRA110N AND EVALUATION OF
A TELEPHONE SURVEY WITH THE COSH TO BE CHARGED TO THE PARK
DEPARTMENT'S OPERATING FUND.
Motion carried on a Roll Call vote, three ayes.

Averue is being built on an easement that goes down: to lakeshore.

Councilmember Neils reported that Calavar, one of the aerial
platform apparatus binders, has asked if the Council would be
intere;ted in a short presentation of the apparatus by each of
toe respect`ve bidders. Council agreed they could gain more

specs f -.cations and it Councilmember Neils wished to represent
