KELSEY-ROUND LAKE PARK, discussion
The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed and made the following
changes to the proposed Kelsey-Round Lake Park plan, prepared by the
consultant, Bill Sanders.
Main trail system: The commissioners favored an ag lime base
because of cost, the texture of the soil and good base properties of the
product. Commissioner Paulson recommended ag lime base of ten (10')
feet so that an eight (8') foot strip of asphalt could be applied, if so
desired, in future development. The commissioners also thought this
base could be incorporated in the play/picnic area. Commissioner
Lindahl expressed concern for handicap accessibility.
Off trails (access from neighborhoods): Graded to seven (7') foot widths.

Proposed future parking lots at the end of 149th Avenue on the north
side of cul-de-sac and future cul-de-sac of 151st Avenue (Kelsey
Estates) to be shown on the map.
Proposed pond to be shown (dedicated by Indian Meadows developer).
Phase I (consists of year 1, 2, and 3): Mr. Haas has suggested that trails
be roughed in during Year 1; construct parking lot along with trail
improvements during Years 2 and 3; and complete trail system and
parking lot in Year 3. Chairperson Kieffer would like to postpone
asphalting the parking lot by using a Class V material until Year 3, when
asphalting curb and parking lot would be done. Mr. Haas informed him
that the Andover Review Committee would determine when the asphalt
would be used.
Chairperson Kieffer emphasized that the park board would like to ascertain
expenditures at $120,000 for these developments.
)
On Thursday, July 25, 1991, at 7 p.m. the Andover Park and Recreation
Commission will have a special meeting with Bill Sanders, consultant, in which
the up-dated master drawing of Kelsey-Round Lake Park will be presented,
along with a new cost estimate.
