YEAR 2000 ASSIGNMENTS
It was noted that it would be worthless to install a fishing pier
on Twin Lake North at. Twin Beach unless the parking problems in
the area are handled. The Director of Recreation said it may be
necessary to put in a larger parking lot. Councilmember Hawes
predicted that the neighbors living in the area would want to
keep the beach. Chairman Sorenson requested a detailed map
showing things such as drainage ditches and available land for
the area around North Twin Lake and Kylawn Preserve.
Councilmember Hawes wanted to know how far out the fishing pier
would be extended and if there are any limitations on size.
NORTH MISSISSIPPI REGIONAL PARK
Chairman Sorenson noted that a public hearing is scheduled for
February 19, 1987. At the last meeting, Hennepin County and
Minneapolis park district representatives were in attendance.
Chairman Sorenson said the question remains of whether or not it
will be worth it to purchase the property. There also is concern
over the availability of enough money to complete the project.
There was some discussion of properties located in this area.
