It is expected that this operating agreement will be modified from time to time to reflect current circumstances of the Regional Park and its patrons and programming. All such modifications shall be attached hereto as amendments. 1. Guiding Principles: The Public Agencies expect that uses, development, maintenance will change to meet the needs of future populations. The operation and governance of the relationship between the Public Agencies will be guided by the following core values and principles which are intended to provide standards for decisions made by the Public Agencies relating to development and operation of the Regional Park: o Create outdoor recreation experiences for all in a fun/safe environment. Outdoor recreation refers to leisure pursuits which are engaged in the outdoors, particularly in a natural or semi - natural environment. o Create active recreation experiences for all in a fun/safe environment. Active recreation refers to leisure pursuits which include organized athletic leagues, including soccer, baseball, softball, tennis, football, lacrosse, and others. o Provide activities and improvements which are responsive to changing public expectations and recreational trends which are conducive to the park mission and goals o The design intent for the property is to locate active improvements and activities on the north side of Bertram Lake, while keeping the balance of the park more natural. o Opportunities for collaboration and partnership between the City of Monticello, and Wright County will be considered in order to improve efforts to plan, maintain, protect and restore resources, and provide support facilities. 2. Criteria for Improvements and Additional or Replacement Activities: In the consideration of the eventual requests for changes to, deletion of, or addition to the regional park or improvements, the criteria described in this Section 2 shall be applied. 2.1. Safety for Users. Improvements and activities shall be designed to be safe for the public. 2.2. Staffing and Securitv. Facilities, programs and activities must be adequately staffed when operating and secured when not in use. 2.3. Noise and Operating Hours.

Bertram Chain of Lakes Athletic Complex site. The project began in the summer of 2015 and reached completion in 2016. The project focused on assessing the recreation needs and developing a long range master plan that can be implemented in multiple phases based on funding strategy / availability. The planning process considered many factors including the following major items: • Existing and projected outdoor recreation capacity within the community • Existing and projected recreation demands • Site and regional context • Needs and desires of the community including stakeholders, user group representatives, and the general public Through the course of the project, various spatial concepts were prepared that tested the balance and location of various facilities with continued refinement to develop the resulting master plan included in this report. It quickly became evident that the plan must respect the natural aspects of the Bertram Chain of Lakes Regional Park via thoughtful layout of recreational amenities. The involvement by stakeholders, user group representatives, and residents with this planning process was instrumental in preparing a plan that will meet the recreation needs of today and the future. Although it is often challenging for any planning process to satisfy every participant's individual needs, it was rewarding to work with such a wonderful group of individuals with varied interests and still achieve comprehensive consensus of this plan. Acknowledgements The consultant team would like to thank everyone involved with this planning process. The participant's insights and understanding of the concerns and issues of this master plan were resolved with great respect for each other throughout the project. The participation and insight provided by the following groups and individuals was greatly appreciated. ae 2 of 39 I City of Monticello �Ionficefl o 505 Walnut Street, Suite 1 Monticello, MN 55362 Wright County Marc Mattice Brad Harrington Stacy Marguardt Friends of Bertram Jim Lindberg Martyn Dibben Dave Wik Monticello City Council Brian Stumpf, Mayor Charlotte Gabler Lloyd Hilgart Tom Perrault Glen Posusta School District Staff Gary Revenig, Activity Director Monticello Parks Commission Nancy McCaffrey Larry Nolan Brian Stoll Glen Posusta Jack Gregor Tim Stalpes Findings and Recommendations BCOL Advisory Council Larry Nolan Brian Stumpf Pat Sawatzke Jim Hayes Tom Jahnke Jim Lindberg Wes Olson Scott Peterson Glen Posusta Martyn Dibben Sandra Theros Kim Hewson-Garner Community Education Staff Brandan LaBau, Coordinator Athletic Associations Jeff Michaelis, Girls Softball Roger Pribyl, Monticello Baseball Joe Kounkel, Monticello Baseball Brian Schmitz, Monticello Baseball Tony Rowan, Monticello Soccer Club Lani Brouwer, Monticello Youth Football City Staff Angela Schumann, Community Development Director Tom Pawelk, Parks Superintendent Jeff O'Neill, City Administrator Shibani Bisson, City Engineer Beth Green, Administrative Assistant Kitty Baltos, Community Center Director Leanne Holker, Community Center Coord. The population in Monticello has grown from about 5,000 in 1990 to more than 13,000 in 2012. This 260% growth has generated an increased demand for outdoor recreation space. City owned outdoor athletic facilities have not been added for more than twenty years and the majority are in need of upgrades. The population growth and lack of athletic improvements combined with new and/or changing recreation trends magnifies the demand for expansion. It is recommended that the city develop the BCOL athletic park site in a balanced approach to meet current and future needs. Doing this may allow the city to reduce heavy programmed athletic use from neighborhood parks which will reduce access problems and decrease the level of maintenance associated with such smaller sites as compared to a larger contiguous facility. This approach is consistent with the direction of the current comprehensive plan. As with the development of any master plan, it should proceed with flexibility in mind. This can be achieved by developing the project over time based on funding availability. The first phase should focus on developing facilities of highest demand. In this case. the highest demand is for multi - :ye 3 of 39 I City of Monticello �Ionficeff o 505 Walnut Street, Suite 1 Monticello, MN 55362 purpose fields suitable for soccer/lacrosse/football. If trends or needs vary prior to proceeding to the next phase, the plan can be modified to accommodate the most current needs at that time. The recommendations in this introduction summary are brief. Elaboration and supporting documentation can be found in the following report sections. Consulting Team Sincerely, WSB & Associates, Inc. Jason L.

The meetings included the following: • Multiple Stakeholder and User Group Interviews, August 6, 2015 • Multiple Stakeholder and User Group Interviews, August 7, 2015 • Community Event (Blazing through Bertram), September 5, 2015 • Public Open House #1, September 17, 2015 • BCOL Advisory Council Meeting, October 2, 2015 • Stakeholder and User Group Meeting, October 8, 2015 • City Council Workshop #1, October 12, 2015 • City Council Workshop #2, November 23, 2015 • Public Open House #2, December 10, 2015 • City Council Workshop #3, February 8, 2016 • City Council Workshop #4, March 28, 2016 • Parks / BCOL Advisory Council Meeting, November 4, 2016 • Wright County Parks Commission, November 14, 2016 • City Council, November 28, 2016 This process informed the consultant team and provided feedback to the various ideas proposed throughout the project. Existing Site The project site is located east of Briarwood Avenue just north of Bertram Lake. The existing site consists of agricultural land which is suitable for athletic facility development. The location context related to the BCOL Regional Park will allow a unique blend of active recreation amenities with direct access to the more passive and natural adjacent opportunities in the area. ;e 5 of 39 I City of Monticello �Ionficeff o 505 Walnut Street, Suite 1 Monticello, MN 55362 The following highlights the applicable offsite data review of this location. Select data sources were reviewed in an effort to assemble knowledge of the environmental setting at the proposed site. A brief discussion of each data source is included below. City of Monticello Natural Resources Inventory and Assessment (WSB, 2008) WSB prepared a Natural Resources Inventory and Assessment for the City of Monticello in 2008. The extent of the assessment area included the current proposed athletic complex site. The following information is from the 2008 report, and pertains to the proposed athletic complex site: • Land Cover Classification: Planted or maintained • Gravel Pits and Potential Aggregate Resources: Potential Aggregate Resource • Farmland Suitability: Farmland of Statewide Importance/Not Prime Farmland (refer to "Farmland Classification" below for more information) • High Quality Natural Areas: (none) • Areas of Ecological Significance and/or Community Importance: Parks • Conceptual Greenway Corridors (none, Greenway corridor located in woodland/wetland approximately 0.25 mile east of the site.) NRCS Web Soil Survev 1. Hydric Soil Rating: The soil types at the site are rated as either not hydric or partially hydric (only 1 percent hydric). The soils are mostly sandy loam or loamy sand, which typically have good drainage. Overall, wetlands are unlikely to exist — refer to desktop wetland review on following page for more information. 2. Farmland Classification: Farmland classification identifies map units as prime farmland, farmland of statewide importance, farmland of local importance, or unique farmland. It identifies the location and extent of the soils that are best suited to food, feed, fiber, forage, and oilseed crops. Approximately 74 percent of the site is classified as "farmland of statewide importance" and 26 percent is classified as "not prime farmland". While there is value in the agricultural land at the site, it is not of high value or importance, such as "prime farmland". If Federal funds are used for development of the project, a farmland conversion worksheet will need to be prepared. This form can be found at: http://www.nres.usda.gov/Internet/FSE DOCUMENTS/stelprdb1045394.pdf Minnesota Countv Biological Survev (MCBS) The site is not listed in the MCBS. There are no MCBS sites within 1.8 miles of the site. ae 6 of 39 I City of Monticello �Ionficeff o 505 Walnut Street, Suite 1 Monticello, MN 55362 The site contains two shelter belts of trees. Trees in the northern shelter belt appear to be pine trees, likely red pine. Trees in the west shelter belt, near Briarwood Ave. NE appear to be a mixed composition of species including spruce, pine, and deciduous trees. Quantification of species, caliper inches, number of trees, and tree location proposed for removal will be required for the project, prior to removal. The project will require some vegetation removal. Removal of trees larger than 4" diameter is subject to county review and approval per Wright County Ordinance paragraph 613.5 (3) Vegetative Cutting. Given the desire for shade trees within the athletic park, tree replacement should not be a problem. Desktop Wetland Review Because the soil types are primarily not hydric, wetlands are not expected to be present at the site. The soil has good drainage, which means water does not sit at the surface for a long duration. Although some historical aerial photos indicate a wetland hydrology signature (crop stress), as shown in Photo 1 below, this signature is located in soil mapped as not hydric. Although there is a high probability that wetlands do not exist at the site, a standard wetland delineation and documentation should be completed prior to development to provide assurance of the absence of wetland impacts. PT: Mn DNR Natural Heritage Information Database Two records were returned during the database search: • Trumpeter swan (Cygnus buccinators) — Species of Special Concern — Located approximately 0.6 mile southwest of project area. • Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocepholus) — Species of Special Concern - Nests located approximately 2 miles north and 5.5 miles east, along the river. Trumpeter swans and Bald eagles have been identified in close proximity to the site. Bald eagle habitat has been identified to generally occur along the Mississippi, while the Trumpeter swans ae 7 of 39 I City of Monticello �Ionficefl o 505 Walnut Street, Suite 1 Monticello, MN 55362 have been found to utilize the fall and winter months along the Mississippi due to the open waters of the Mississippi River. Based upon these findings, a survey of the site and documentation of protected species should be completed prior to master plan implementation. This can change from season to season, so it is important to complete this task to reduce liability and risks caused by disturbance to these species of special concern if they are present. If federal funds are used to develop the project, the following documentation will be required: • USFWS Federal Section 7 affects determination • MN DNR Natural Heritage Database review • USDA NRCS — Farmland Conversion worksheet (if federal funds are used or federal permits are issued) Geotechnical A series of three standard penetration test borings and one hand auger boring were performed on the site to obtain representative soil information as it relates to the future development of this park, including single story, slab on grade shelters, bituminous paved parking and drive areas and sidewalks. Below is a summary of these findings: • The penetration test borings generally encountered topsoil over alluvial deposited soils. The topsoil generally consisted of organic clay and clayey sand that was black to dark brown and moist to wet. The topsoil was about 8 to 24 inches thick. • Underlying the topsoil and extending to the borings termination depth of about 16 feet, granular soils consisting of silty sand, poorly graded sand with silt and poorly graded sand were encountered. However, clayey sand was encountered in Boring PB-2 from below the topsoil to a depth of about 3 % feet. Groundwater was not encountered in these borings during drilling. • Penetration resistances in the alluvial soils ranged from 3 to 11 blows per foot (BPF) and averaged about 6 BPF. Those values indicated they were very loose to medium dense but generally loose. • The hand auger boring HA-4 was completed to a depth of 4 feet. Topsoil consisting of organic clay that was black and wet was encountered throughout that boring. • The boring logs are included in the appendix of this report Summary of Geotechnical Recommendations Based on the above findings, it is recommended that the topsoil be removed from beneath proposed structures such as those described above. The underlying alluvial soils generally appear capable of supporting such structures; however, they are locally very loose and generally loose. To improve their bearing capacity we recommend that pavement and footing subgrades be surface compacted utilizing a large vibratory compactor. Also, silty sands and clayey sands are considered frost susceptible soils and consideration should be given to removing them from beneath grade pavements and slabs (for unheated buildings) « ions, the ae 8 of 39 I City of Monticello �Ionficeff o 505 Walnut Street, Suite 1 Monticello, MN 55362 alluvial soils should be able to support the proposed buildings on spread footings designed to exert a bearing pressure of 2,500 pounds per square foot or less. As a typical practice, further testing may be required through the stages of final engineering to minimize delays or increased costs due to unforeseen implications that may arise. Topsoil Suitabilitv and Considerations for Athletic Turf The representative soil sample taken from the site by John Hopko, Professional Turf & Renovation, have come back with a representative pH of 5.8. This classifies it as acidic. Based on this information, lime will need to be applied to establish quality turf. The nutrient levels in the soil were quite reasonable including the minor nutrients. The CEC or cation exchange capacity is low at 9.7. This puts it in a category of being a sandy, coarse soil. Cation exchange capacity is the ability of the soil to hold on to nutrients. Since the number is low, a sound fertility program will always be important. This sandy -coarse material will allow for well -draining topsoil, which is beneficial for athletic fields. In John Hopko's opinion, the soil is favorable and should be very receptive to growing quality turf on the athletic fields and elsewhere within the park. Turf establishment is the key to a successful athletic complex project. Prior to implementing the athletic fields, the existing topsoil should be tested in greater frequency to determine the lime application rate needed to address the acidic condition and specific athletic seed selections should be considered. During final design, a meeting with the owner and design team should be held to discuss field usage, quality expectations and maintenance budget. The design team, including a turf/seed expert, will review the pros and cons related to various grass seed mixtures to meet the needs of the client and make a recommendation of specific seed mixture. Since there are always new varieties being developed by seeding companies, it is premature to select at this time. Ag-lime application should be implemented after final grade is approved and should be completed by shallow tilling to incorporate the lime and power raking to smooth and remove any debris. The seeding operation is best done in the August to mid -September timeframe. Seeding should be done with a Brillion seeder at the appropriate pounds per acre determined. Lastly, an application of a quality starter fertilizer should be applied at the time of seeding and three additional applications of fertilizer during grow -in to achieve excellent turf quality and root systems. Community Desires & Project Goals The primary desire is for athletic field development to meet the current and future demands of recreation programs within the community. Many groups and individuals expressed a strong desire to develop a more 'parklike' atmosphere rather than an 'industrial' complex that would be common for an educational type of campus. This desire is consistent with one of the project goals stated in the RFP that recognized the park's potential unique blend of passive and active outdoor recreation resources and opportunities. The plan accomplished this goal by developing a layout that provides natural buffer spaces within the park and between the active portions of the park and the adjacent property. Locating ae 9 of 39 I City of Monticello �Ionficefl o 505 Walnut Street, Suite 1 Monticello, MN 55362 the large lighted recreation fields to the north (away from the BCOL regional park area) was also important (goal 1 & 2). Based on the overall planning process, which included involvement from the general community, athletic associations, Parks Commission, BCOL Advisory Council, and City Council, the following provides an overview of the desires as related to stated goals in the RFP: • Multi -purpose ballfields and multi -purpose greens (goal 11) • Balance the needs of players, spectators and other park visitors (goal 7). o It is preferred to develop oversized multi -purpose fields to allow for maximum flexibility. This will allow moving the 'wear patterns' of the fields around and/or provide for different field orientations based on age group or sport (goal 11). o Ballfields are desired to allow multi -use also. Organized layout to best accommodate tournament play and efficiency with support structures and optimal orientation for sun angles relative to play were both considerations. Through the process, it was determined that the 'pinwheel' approach was preferable for organization of operation management and site utilization at the compromise of sun angle orientation for some fields. This is a very common approach for municipal athletic facilities and tournament play (goals 5, 11 & 12). • Pedestrian circulation o Adequate space should be allowed along sides of fields for spectator use and circulation (goal 8). o Incorporate connections within athletic park facility nodes and to the larger regional park to enrich exploration of the outdoor recreational experience for Bertram park users (goal 3). o Trails provided for convenience and for recreational desires. Multiple loops will provide various lengths of trail routes with convenience between parking lots and recreation amenities. Trail crossings of roadways should be minimized. The trails will also offer opportunities for interpretive educational nodes to highlight various environmental and sustainable aspects of the park (goal 8). • Restrooms / concessions are desired in convenient locations (goal 7). • Vehicular circulation - allow for vehicular flow with identified parking distributed to accommodate the development of athletic fields (goal 7). • Beer sales are important for adult league events. The city and county are currently discussing this opportunity. • Sports lighting o Focus on northern fields and pinwheel o Desire to avoid lighting fields closest to the regional park (goal 1 & 4) o Lights with glare control should be utilized to reduce light pollution. Engineering of LED lighting systems are continually progressing. There have recently been improvements with light quality, reduced spill light, and energy efficiency. This type of system should be considered at the time of development (coal 4 & 6). 210of39 I City of Monticello �Ionficefl 0 505 Walnut Street, Suite 1 Monticello, MN 55362 o Set a determined schedule for when lights will turn off to minimize light pollution in this area (goal 6) • The plan should also consider alternate opportunities such as: o tennis courts o paved hockey rink to allow for year round use (inline skating or basketball in summer) o play areas o picnic areas • Plan implementation o The BCOL Regional Athletic Park Master Plan is developed to maximize efficiency through prioritizing on phases that provide framework for immediate implementation while balancing recreational needs and cost effectiveness (goal 9 & 12). Through feed received from City Council workshops and public engagement, this master plan fulfills the needs of the community and athletic associations as well as strengthening the connections to the larger regional park (goal 10). • Sustainability is desired. This can be achieved through stormwater re -use, utilizing recycled materials for construction, and the incorporation of efficient lighting and water use systems. Utilizing native landscape materials will also be employed to provide for buffering and transitions between natural resource and athletic areas of the park while minimizing maintenance and irrigation requirements (goal 6). • This feasibility report outlines laws, policies and regulations pertaining to the future implementation of this park, accounting for grant requirements, anticipated environmental review and permitting, and accessibility (goal 14). Athletic Needs Assessment The result of the athletic needs assessment indicates that the highest current and projected demands relate to multi -use field sports to accommodate soccer/football/lacrosse. The potential decommissioning of the Xcel Fields, as related to the potential 1-94 interchange in the future, will result in increased demand of ballfield facilities. The athletic needs assessment process and evaluation also revealed a strong need and desire to provide both local and regional facilities for outdoor recreational programs. Through development of the site, local needs would be accommodated as well as provide a premier regional athletic park destination and related economic growth opportunities for Monticello businesses. Based upon these findings, we recommend a balanced approach for development of the BCOL site. This will involve development of various athletic facility types to meet the current and projected future demands of the community. 211of39 I City of Monticello �Ionficeff o 505 Walnut Street, Suite 1 Monticello, MN 55362 Development of the Site Plan Based on community desires and athletic needs assessment, WSB developed numerous spatial concepts to explore the various relationships of desired facility types as related to each other and the surrounding properties as well as pedestrian and vehicular access and circulation. The following represents the initial spatial concepts prepared.

The baseball field was located in closer proximity to the parking lot, while other ballfields and soccer fields were adjusted for better fit and circulation/access. The ballfield 'pinwheel' was moved north to accommodate multi -purpose greens in the southeast corner of the site. The plan layout fulfills the needs of the community, athletic associations, and respects the regional park context of the area. This plan was presented to the Monticello Parks Commission and BCOL Advisory Council on November 41h. Both the Commission and the Advisory Council recommend this plan be forwarded to the City Council for adoption. Bk7RRAM LAKES v l LU Y J LL O z_ IJJ cV G IrA.TL' W PRIMARY ENTRANCE IrON...114.

Alternatively, if funding is secured, the site could be developed all at once. These development areas have been designed to maximize efficiency to achieve phasing to meet a balance of recreation needs and cost effectiveness. Through phasing, this design can allow for future adaption based on evolving trends relating to outdoor recreation. Based on discussions with city staff and projected general funding allocation of $700,000 per year, the project could be developed in $3 - $4 million phases. The planned phasing suggested in this feasibility report is logically focused on progressive implementation that provides basic facilities / infrastructure with options to make continued improvements as the recreation needs increase and funding grows. Without other forms of funding, such as an additional tax levy or bond referendum, it is expected that construction of the first major improvements (Development Area "A" — Base) could occur as soon as 2019 or 2020. Future phases could be carried out by similarly saving annual funds at a rate of $700k per year until an adequate amount is available for the desired improvements. As with any plan, you have flexibility to develop the project either in a shorter or longer timeframe, or, in larger or smaller `phases' to best align with available funding sources. It should be kept in mind that developing in smaller phases over a longer period of time will typically result in higher development costs and increased disruption of site use and construction traffic. The diagrams on the following pages reflect the areas of development and related cost estimates. 221of39 City of Monticello L Mont lccllo 505 Walnut Street, Suite 1 Monticello, MN 55362 Interim Development uurrium U H CULVERT GRAVEL DRIVE GRAVEL PARKING LOT FOR 45 VEHICLES I - BITUMINOUS TRAIL TO COUNTY NARK INTERIM GRADING AND SEEDING TO SMOOTH EXISTING FIELD (DOES NOT INCLUDE FINAL GRADING OF ATHLETIC FIELDS AT THIS TIME). ----- it i 'l *-` - c cc w N Q Interim Development Item Description Estimated Development Cost 1 Grading / earthwork & erosion control (assumes no soil corrections) 44,400 1 Earthwork and erosion control 2 Gravel Drive, Culvert and Gravel Parking Area 106,819 1 Ditch Culvert 2 Gravel Surface 3 Asphalt Pavement for Trails 54050 3 Asphalt pavement (3" asphalt pavement over 6" aggregate base) 4 Restoration 15,238 4 9 Acres of turf seed mix Subtotal - Interim Development 220,507 Estimated Administrative Costs: Design and engineering, permits, testing, construction staking, construction observation 28,366 Total for Interim Development 248,873 As of October 2016, the interim improvements were constructed.

It is based on a combination of site -specific development requirements and projects of similar size and complexity. The costs are also based on having the work completed by private contractors and specialists. It does not take into consideration work that could be performed by city staff, volunteer groups, or by other means. The cost estimate is based on master plan level evaluation, which brings with it inherent limitations. This information is provided to help guide implementation decisions and develop general budgeting, phased implementation, and comparing the relative cost of one item to that of another. The costs are in 2015 dollars. Although intended to be conservative, actual costs will vary depending on the year that each aspect of the master plan is implemented, implementation parameters, economic conditions affecting bidding, and the actual site conditions found in the field during construction. Inflation rates should be applied at the time of designing for implementation to adjust for the most current economic conditions. Transportation Access / Briarwood Based on the number of facilities and parking capacity, it is expected that Briarwood Avenue will need to be improved to accommodate the expected traffic generation from the facility. It is expected that on peak days with all fields in use the facility will generate up to 1450 trips in a day and up to 370 trips during the peak hour of the event. Typical non-event days assuming all fields would be available, will generate up to 750 trips for the day and up to 150 trips for the peak hour. In order to accommodate this expected traffic generation, Briarwood Avenue should be widened to a minimum of 24 feet in width and overlaid (from CR 39 to the proposed site access). In addition at the primary access, Briarwood Avenue should be widened to include a turn lane and a bypass lane. We propose this to occur during implementation of the first development area. There is an existing 66' wide easement that will 34 of 39 City of Monticello L Mollticcl10 505 Walnut Street, Suite 1 Monticello, MN 55362 accommodate the widening of this roadway. The cross section below illustrates how the modified roadway at the site access will fit within the existing easement. 3_ I dl 5 17 17 17 17 Ray. _SOUTHSOUND_ SOUTHBOL'ND NORTHBOUND_ NORTHBOUND_ BYPASS LEFT TURN rHRU RIGHT TURN LANE LANE LANE LANE DC0 ATMLE'1C COUP. Fx r SHOULDER A secondary access point is connected to the Wright County Regional Park roadway directly to the south of the proposed athletic park. This can be gated for normal days to encourage use of the primary entrance, but can be opened to provide expanded vehicular access/egress during larger tournament types of events. Emergency access routes to athletic fields All trails are proposed to be 10' wide to accommodate vehicles for maintenance purposes. In many cases the athletic fields are adjacent to roadways and parking areas, however in some congested areas that are a bit further from parking lots we are suggesting 12' wide trails to accommodate emergency vehicle access.

The following is a list of items proposed to be integrated to the sustainability of development. Note that each element should be evaluated based on cost/benefit over the expected lifespan of the equipment or facility being considered. • Stormwater reuse —This will be achieved by directing all parking lot runoff to a large centrally located pond. In addition to the functional sustainability benefits, this pond will also serve as a focal point within the park surrounded by trails and picnic areas. The pond will be clay lined to retain stormwater runoff for re -use as irrigation water. In periods of drought, a well will refill the pond for irrigation uses. This is a practice commonly used in golf courses and other large athletic complexes. • Construction Materials and Products — An additional form of sustainable design will come through means of green products, efficient fixtures and the integration of recycles materials into the construction of the park. o Green products — Green technologies and innovations are r making buildings more sustainable, increasing the I I performance and efficiency of a building through the integration of green products. These products are becoming increasingly cost efficient from material use for building construction to site amenities such as platforms or decks. The product shown on the right is an example of Trex decking, which is composed of a recycled plastic that is durable and is a great alternative for typical wood decking. o Fixtures — Cost of operations for proposed buildings can be aided through the incorporation of low -flow toilets and faucets to conserve water (shown to the right). Additionally, technological advances in LED lighting can be infused into the park to maximize performance and energy savings for interior and exterior use throughout the park. o Recycled materials —The reuse of recycled materials such as crushed concrete will provide additional sustainable and environmentally friendly practice. Recycled crush concrete (shown to the right) can be utilized for the subbase of pavements to reduce the dependency and absorption of natural resources such as virgin aggregate limestone for the development of the park. • Native plantings and seed mix- The proposed landscape for BCOL Regional Park will serve the park on a multitude of levels. The plant material will offer users of the site with year-round interest as well as provide functional value to the park. Plant material comprised of a blend of hardy, drought tolerant plant material indigenous to the area will be ?36of39 City of Monticello L Mollticcl10 505 Walnut Street, Suite 1 Monticello, MN 55362 MIN maximized throughout the site to alleviate costly irrigation and maintenance expenses associated with non -hardy materials. Through the integration of low impact design, energy efficient and recycled products, and the inclusion of native plantings, this park can effectively maximize efficiency through these sustainable practices. ADA Compliance The BCOL Regional Athletic Park master plan accommodates the necessary area and facilities required for ADA Compliance to serve all ages and abilities. As the project moves throughout the final design process, it will be required to assess and confirm that the latest codes are met. This is a requirement of any project to ensure all facets are designed and built to comply with the current ADA Standards for Accessible Design. The following provides a general list of park areas and amenities that must comply. For additional information, refer to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. • Parking Facilities — The number of allocated handicap parking stalls shall be in accordance with provisions set forth by the ADA per lot. In addition to these locations, a pedestrian ramp will be located at each trail or sidewalk access point. All handicap parking stalls will serve as van accessible with an adjacent loading zone area. • Drop-off zones — All drop-off zones will include a pedestrian ramp compliant with ADA regulations. • Gathering Areas —The following items will meet the requirements set forth by the current ADA Standards for Accessible Design. o Concession Buildings and Shelters o Spectator Areas o Playgrounds • Trails — At least one accessible route will be provided to any given site arrival point. Accessible routes will contain a running slope not exceeding 1:20 and a maximum cross slope of 1:48. • Amenities — Picnic table, benches, trash receptacles and drinking fountains will be located adjacent to accessible routes and provide the required wheelchair accessible picnic tables and spaces. • Stairways and handrails — Will comply with guidelines established in section 504 of the current ADA Standards for Accessible Design. Restoration The proposed plant list below has been determined through identification of the pre -settlement vegetation for the park site and adjacent parcels. This provides a basic framework of plant types, but the species can be broadened through selection of more unique cultivars. The Central Mesic Hardwood Forest and Southern Dry-Mesic Oak Woodland has been revised to exclude plant material currently identified as containing diseases, which could impact the future vegetative progression of the site. In addition, a supplemental plant list has been devised to increase diversity, enhance the quality of the 37 of 39 City of Monticello L Mollticcl10 505 Walnut Street, Suite 1 Monticello, MN 55362 landscape and achieve a sustainable natural landscape. This list does not account for any unforeseen diseases that may impact or degrade the future plant communities of this site. This should be reviewed, and modified if necessary, prior to implementing development areas.

This assessment process considers the current capacity of existing outdoor recreational facilities compared to the existing and projected programmatic demands. It is anticipated that changes to facilities and programs will need to be monitored to ensure that future recreational needs are being met. It is with this understanding that the forthcoming needs assessment is presented, which summarizes the needs of today and circumstances affecting the planning decisions of the future for the community of Monticello. Identifying stakeholders and user groups and having them involved through the assessment process was crucial in preparing this document. Although it is rare to meet everyone's individual needs, we received feedback indicating comprehensive consensus. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The assessment team would like to thank the following organizations for their valuable input and time through this process. We would also like to thank the athletic associations and individuals who attended public meetings for their input. The open dialogue with members of the community helped enrich our collective understanding of the issues and needs facing the city's recreational facilities.

This does not consider the school recreation programming needs. Through the development of this report, data has been gathered through informational meetings, teleconferences, and athletic association websites. Data collected from these sources documents the research, analysis, and findings, resulting in the identification of: • Major outdoor recreational trends and themes • Current capacity, demand and availability of hours for city outdoor recreational programs on existing school district facilities • Projected demand and availability of hours for city outdoor recreational programs on existing school district facilities • Local and regional needs for outdoor recreational facilities • Recommendation regarding future approach of facilities and development of the BCOL Regional Athletic Park NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS The needs assessment process included a series of stakeholder and user group interviews and meetings, public open houses, community events, and workshops with city council. Through this effort, the consulting team and city were able to identify major trends and themes identified on existing recreational facilities and areas of interest to consider in the development of future recreational facilities. The following listing outlines the public process meetings. Multiple Stakeholder and User Group Interviews, August 6, 2015 Multiple Stakeholder and User Group Interviews, August 7, 2015 Community Event (Blazing through Bertram), September 5, 2015 Public Open House #1, September 17, 2015 BCOL Advisory Council Meeting, October 2, 2015 Stakeholder and User Group Meeting, October 8, 2015 City Council Workshop #1, October 12, 2015 City Council Workshop #2, November 23, 2015 Public Open House #2, December 10, 2015 MAJOR TRENDS AND THEMES FROM THE PUBLIC PROCESS The public engagement sessions were instrumental in developing a thorough understanding of trends and demand pertaining to outdoor recreational athletics for the city and school district programs. In addition, residents and community groups identified themes which have been utilized in existing parks and should be promoted in the future development of parks. The following lists summarize the major themes and trends that emerged from the public input process. Monticello Outdoor Recreational Trends • Ballfield use is holding steady. • Snrrar fiPlri ura is inrraasinF_ Page 14 - Needs Assessment Page 4 of 32 I City of Monticello �Ionficeff o 505 Walnut Street, Suite 1 Monticello, MN 55362 Lacrosse is a new sport that is increasing in popularity. Flag football is expected to rise in popularity. Women's softball has expressed interest, but spatial limitations are currently preventing sport from being organized. Themes characterized by Residents and Community Groups • Variety and adaptability in fields is important • Connections to nature areas and trails — avoid 'industrial look' • Residents would like more amenities at fields, including: o Picnic Shelters o Parking o Play Areas o Restrooms Page 1 5 - Needs Assessment Page 5 of 32 I City of Monticello �Ionficeff o 505 Walnut Street, Suite 1 Monticello, MN 55362 OVERVIEW OF CURRENT CAPACITY, DEMAND AND AVAILABILITY The following table (Table #1.1) analyzes the current capacity, demand and availability of hours for the specified city and community education outdoor recreational programs identified through the assessment process. CAPACITY The capacity of hours for each sport was determined through a series of tables identifying the: • Existing city and school district facilities for city outdoor recreational programs o Capacity of school district facilities consider availability of grounds for sharing, but not dedicated use for city recreation or community education recreation programs. • Calendar season of field use — Accounts for shared seasons of use where applicable. • Amount of hours of available play per calendar season — Based upon the hours of operation, hours of sunlight and additional hours available for existing lit fields. DEMAND The demand of hours encompassed: • All scheduled home games per calendar season for currently run programs. • Practices per calendar season for currently run programs. • Recommended resting/rotation of fields — 20% of the capacity of hours. AVAILABILITY The availability of hours was calculated through subtracting demand from capacity. Resulting from this calculation, it can be concluded whether there is a surplus of hours or a deficiency in hours available for each corresponding sport. CONCLUSION In summary, a deficiency in available hours exists for soccer and lacrosse with a surplus of available hours for all other identified city outdoor recreational programs.

Page 1 6 - Needs Assessment Page 6 of 32 I City of Monticello �Ionficefl 0 505 Walnut Street, Suite 1 Monticello, MN 55362 OVERVIEW OF PROJECTED FUTURE DEMAND AND AVAILABILITY DEMAND The projected demand for city outdoor recreational programs has been determined through student enrollment and the Monticello population trends based on data provided by the U.S. Census for the years of 2000-2012. Based on this information, Table #1.2 assumes an average annual growth factor of 5.1% resulting in an increase in demand of 65% by 2025 and 271% by 2035. CONCLUSION Future projections indicate a substantial deficiency in the availability of hours for all identified city recreational programs excluding baseball.

In recent years, Monticello has had to decrease renting of fields to other communities (Rogers, Becker and Big Lake) due to the unavailability of hours for field use. Furthermore, neighboring cities in this region currently do not contain park facilities to accommodate regional events that could be provided with the introduction of the BCOL Athletic Park, with the nearest regionally significant facility located in Saint Cloud. This presents an opportunity to develop a facility that will not only meet Monticello's local needs, but the greater regional tournament opportunities and related economic growth for Monticello businesses. Page 1 7 - Needs Assessment Page 7 of 32 I City of Monticello �Ionficeff 0 505 Walnut Street, Suite 1 Monticello, MN 55362 DECOMMISSIONING OF RECREATIONAL FACILITIES The 2015 availability of hours is based on the existing field capacity. As of 2015, a school district bond referendum was approved for a wide range of school district facility improvements. Several of these improvements will impact the availability of fields for outdoor recreational programs. The bond referendum improvements will result in a net loss of two multi -use athletic fields and one multi -purpose ballfield. Furthermore, Xcel Fields which is occupied by adult softball, youth baseball and youth football potentially could be decommissioned in future years due to Interstate 94 interchange development. Table #1.3 identifies the potential impacts to the current demand of one or both of these outcomes (for additional information of the current needs refer to Appendix B).

This will result in a net loss to two multi -use athletic fields and one multi -purpose ballfield. z Potential decommissioning of Xcel fields will result in a loss of multi -purpose fields currently used by adult softball, youth baseball and youth football. RECOMMENDATIONS Analysis of the needs assessment indicates deficiencies in the availability of fields currently and for the foreseeable future. Deficiencies of the highest demand, excluding the potential decommissioning of fields, are related to open field sports such as soccer and lacrosse. Future development is recommended to occur in a balanced approach through phased development of the BCOL Athletic Park. The development of this facility will result in a regional park that can serve tournament and athletic camp needs beyond the local boundaries with the potential for economic growth. An added benefit of the future development of the BCOL Athletic Park is decreased programmed athletic use of neighborhood parks. This would be preferable to limit use and maintenance required at smaller sites that could be transitioned to more general park use in the future.
