Ilie Park Preserve staff made a presentation of the proposed multi-purpose tram,
system for the, County and explained that the Park Preserve Boawas offering; to
act as coordinator and.
z.
possibly partial, developer or maintainer of a trail, system,
hey indicated that several. requests had betrn made by various trail groups and. by the Village of edana for such a system to be established., Federal and State
financial participation for the development of such a system appears to be possible.
Concerns expressed during the discussion period foll(xdng the presentation dealt
with the following areas
1 R&at; would the cost of such a system be and who would fund the local share
of such a system,?
2. Mio would be responsible for enforcement of regulations on the trail system
which could be coord .hated by the Park Preserve Disteict in their prep-
aration Aral adoption by local coomtmities?
3. 'here would tra.l, users cane frau and be destined. for when, using trails
within Plymouth Village?
Following the trail, system discussion,, tiie Park Commission and Planning Commission.
reviewed the guide lanes to be applied to residential developments w th respect
to trails prior to a formal:. Village policy being adopted, The Park. Commission
e)Xpressed concern that under current budg0tuig of the Park Department it is all
the Village maintenance can do to maintain existing parks and open, space. In
order to maintain a more extensive trail system it would require substantial in-
creases in the operating budget of the .Park Department,
The develo mnt of a trail system that is fully coordinated with the land use
guide plan now wider preparatio, was discussed. It was concluded that +,he Village
Trail, Committee chazxed by J. Richards Would provide the input into the draftingofsuchatrailt-stem .and also provide recormendatxons for the standards and
criteria to be av;lied in the actual construction of such a trail system. The
Planning Cum issima expres;sod concern., that we need to establish trails as properties
are, being doveloped if the Village, wants a unified system. No conclusion was
mached as to what trails the Village should take title to prior to the adoption
of a Comprehensive Guide Plan.
