Mr. Haas also provided some additional information about the trail that has been staked and mowed by the Public Works Department. A handout of the area with the proposed trail route was provided to those that requested one. It was determined by the group to first look at the trail that is proposed to go north from the existing bituminous trail near 1515` Avenue. The Mayor, Councilmembers and Park and Recreation Commissioners got an opportunity to listen to the residents as everyone was walking along the grass trail and answer questions that were raised. It was noted near the north end of the trail where the trail made a bend to go east will need to be relocated on a flatter surface since the proposed trail location based on the stake positioning were located on a side slope of a drainage swale. There was some discussion about the connection through the wooded area where the buckthorn was removed a year ago. Some trees will need to be removed to make the connection to the existing dead end trail in the wooded area that is located further east of the prairie grass • Andover City Council Special Meeting Minutes April 14, 2016 Page 2 area. It was noted there are a number of trees where the trail would be constructed through the woods that are either dead or poor condition. The group did breakdown into a couple smaller groups as they moved further east to the existing main north -south trail in the park. There was some discussion about the possible Indian Burial Ground on the east side of the trail and where to go with determination to see if a burial ground exists or not. Moving further south along the trail just north of 149t' Avenue there was some discussion about the trail that is identified on the proposed Master Plan that would go east towards the lake where a dock/picnic area is shown. A couple of the residents including a couple of the Park and Recreation Commissioners and Councilmembers indicated interest in exploring a looped trail system back to the north from the dock/picnic area across the existing wetland just south of the potential Indian Burial Ground and then along the east side of the potential Indian Burial site and connect into the existing trail along Round Lake located north of the potential Indian Burial Ground. The group then had an opportunity to walk the grass trail along the north side of the wetland mitigation area and then went back to the point of beginning. • Once everyone was back to the point of beginning, there was discussion on the next step. It was determined that the City Council would like to discuss the draft Master Plan further as a workshop item. The workshop would either be in May or June and residents that have already submitted their e-mail to staff will be notified. OTHER TOPICS There were no additional topics.
