CITY OF SHOREWOOD
• December 5, 1977 - Minnewashta School
8:00 P.M.
The regular meeting of the Shorewood Park Commission was
called to order by Chairman, Sohn Breckheimer. Members
present were: Roger Stein, Connie Schmitt, Jim Robin,
Bill Wyatt, Jean Raby, and Bill Keeler.
CATHCART BUILDING:
John Breckheimer reported that Vern Watten will be
going over the plans and cost; to be presented to
the Council at their January 23rd meeting. If the
Council approves the building, construction should
start next April.
LAWCON APPLICATION:
Since the Manor Park proposal ranked #19, it was
decided not to pursue it. Next year the Park Commi-
sion plans to apply for Trail Funding.
ACQUISITION OF LOTS FOR MANOR PARK:
The owner of the lots adjoining Manor Park is asking
$35,600 for them. A premium price, based on the
Assessor's valuation, would probably be around
• $20,000.00.
SMITHTOWN ROAD BIKE TRAIL:
Jim Robin made a study of Smithtown Road; relative to
a bike trail, and presented his findings and recom-
mendations. (Copy of report attached)
Jim will get specific cost estimates for possible types
of surfacing. These costs will be presented to the
Council in January. If approved, by the Council, the
Park Commission will then involve the residents in the
planning. It is hoped that the residents will agree to
move the mailboxes. The city crew can be used for at
least part of the construction; to save money.
PRIORITY OF HUD MONEY:
Bill Wyatt recommended that we go over our priorities
for expenditure of HUD Funds and bring them up to date
for presentation to the Council.
The meeting adjourned - 9:30 P.M.

Shorewood Parks Trails System: Smithtown Road Bicycle and Pedestrian Trail
Status Outline
1. Physical Alternatives
a Circulation: One two -way trail or two one -way trails
b) Alignment: Two One -way trails
- a roadside location for a dual system is possible now
- a combination of roadside and separated pavements for a dual
system is possible depending upon availability of easements
from private landowmers. There is not sufficient space in
the road ROW to have separated pavements with a useable
boulevard space.
-a completely separated set of pavements is highly improbable
due to the closeness of most of the homes along the road.
c) Pavement widths would probably vary but should be 4' minimum in
a roadside location with 6' to 8' preferred and a minimum of 8'
in a separated location.
d) Surface should match the existing bituminous paving in quality and
depth design for the roadside location and could be thinner in
dbpth for a separated pavement. Other materials would be less
acceptable.
2. Preferred alternative
Two roadside pavements for the length of the corridor form 4' to
6' wide.
3. Timetable for actions
a Appointment of responsibility Dec, 1977
b) Corridor inventory Mar 1978
c) Project Design Apr 1978
d) Cost Estimate/ Funding Apr 1978
e) Construction May 1978
