OPERATING MEMORANDUM (2015-11
APRIL 27, 2021
This Operating Agreement is intended to accommodate the development and operation of the Bertram
Chain of Lakes Regional Park, by providing a framework for governance and decision making. 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. Noise levels and operating hours must meet levels acceptable for
the types of activity and appropriate for the community and the location within the park, and
consistent with Wright County Park Ordinances and hours.
2.4. Traffic. Vehicle and traffic volumes and patterns need to be considered when adding activities,
offering programs, and making improvements. Traffic design standards shall be consistent
with generally accepted park planning and engineering guidelines.
2.5. Maintenance and Operations. Provision and responsibility for maintenance of improvements
and activities shall be described and included in plans. It is the understanding that facilities,
improvements and activities within the passive use area of the park are the responsibility of
Wright County, and that facilities, improvements and activities within the active area of the
park are the responsibility of the City of Monticello. At such time the County or City requests to
program outside of their limits and such program is agreed to by the responsible party, the
proposing entity shall be responsible for staffing, setup, maintenance and cost. The city and
the County shall develop and manage a shared use maintenance facility.
2.6 Resources. The natural resource base will be protected and enhanced during the construction
and after improvement and development. This shall include protecting native plant species, and
control and removal invasive species where feasible. This shall include protection and
restoration of native plant communities.
2.7 Guiding Principles. Planning, placement and development of the improvements and activities
shall be consistent with the intent of the Guiding Principles in section 1.
3. Regional Park Development: Each party agrees to develop, operate, control and maintain their
specific use area as detailed in this memorandum.
3.1. Concept Development plan. The Public Agencies have prepared a concept development
plan, which depicts the use of the Regional Park and planned improvements. This Plan
identifies areas intended for use by each Public Agency.
3.2. Concept Development Revisions. The Concept Development Plan may be revised from time
to time. Any such revision shall be submitted for recommendation to the Joint Powers
Authority. Such recommendation shall be forwarded to the respective Public Agency, as
necessary. The Concept Plan shall be revised consistent with required review and approvals
specific to the Public Agency.
3.3. Building Plans -New Construction. Each Public Agency shall provide plans and specifications
for all buildings and other improvements for review and comments to be constructed on the
Premises to the Bertram Chain of Lakes Advisory Council and the Directors of Parks and
Recreation for the County and City.
3.4. Utility Plans. Each Public Agency shall provide plans and specifications to the Directors of
Parks and Recreation for the County and City for all utilities planned to be installed within
the Regional Park. Such utility plans shall also identify proposed shared use and expansion
capacity and shall be reviewed by the Bertram Chain of Lakes Advisory Council as necessary.
3.5. Inspection. All construction shall meet all applicable building codes and be inspected as
required by law. In addition, the City and County will inspect construction and will not

Executive Summary
Introduction
This document is the end result of a master planning effort prepared for the City of Monticello to
explore the potential development of the 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.

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 -

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.

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.

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.

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

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).

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.

Master Plan
The following master plan responds to the feedback gathered at the City Council work sessions on
February 81h, 2016 and March 281h, 2016. 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.

Plan Implementation
The BCOL Regional Athletic Park Master Plan has been divided into a series of development areas and
phases to allow for flexibility in design/implementation based on available funding. 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.

Total Estimated Cost
Cost Estimation and Inflation
The cost analysis in this report defines the potential costs associated with each development component
of the master plan. 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

City of Monticello

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.

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 proposed 12'
wide trails are highlighted in the

Sustainability Recommendations
The BCOL Regional Athletic Park proposes several design principles to maximize efficiency sustainability
of development. 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

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. The following photos provide a
vision of the natural environment which could be made possible through the utilization and
establishment of native plant material.

Environmental Assessment Worksheet
According to Wright County, an EAW will not be required for this project as per the following articles
(unless federal funding requires this):
• 4410.4300, Subp. 36 - The park site will be covered by the open space land use description and
thus, this area will not meet its mandatory requirements.
• Subp. 36A — A portion of the park site is located within shoreland area but was determined that
the project does not meet any of the mandatory requirements.
• Subp. 34 — Based on the master plan the proposed number of parking stalls will not exceed the
5,000 peak attendance requirement.
If changes or modifications occur to the project or plans, there may be the potential to alter this
decision. Notify Wright County if any alterations occur to the master plan.
Annual Athletic Turf Maintenance
Athletic field maintenance after the establishment period will be very important. The city should be
prepared to complete the following maintenance, which is estimated to cost approximately $600 to
$675 per acre per year. Based on the area of athletic fields of when the plan is fully developed, this will
equate to approximately $36k-$40k year.
• Aerification of the fields every year.
• Topdressing wear areas to keep them smooth and safe.
• Slit seeding areas that show wear or thin turf. If not done weeds will take advantage of
openings.
• Create a selective weed control program based on need.
• Proper watering and mowing.

INTRODUCTION
This document was prepared by WSB and Associates, Inc. for the City of Monticello to provide a needs
assessment evaluation of outdoor recreation facilities. 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.

ASSESSMENT OF NEED
OVERVIEW
The needs assessment report has been prepared to determine the current and future needs for the City
of Monticello outdoor recreational programs, including community education outdoor recreational
programs pertaining to the sports identified in the report. 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.

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.

of potential park facilities and thus, may result in a decrease in availability of hours (for additional information of
the current needs refer to Appendix B).
2Availability for other sports including flag football and Women's Softball are currently in demand but cannot be
provided, nor are the hours accounted for in this assessment, due to the deficiency in available hours of field use.

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.

1Availability of hours does not account for athletic training camps, tournaments, rain days or the decommissioning
of potential park facilities and thus, may result in a decrease in availability of hours (for additional information of
the current needs refer to Appendix B).
2Trending sports that are not currently programmed (flag football and women's softball) will likely increase the
demand and decrease availability as these sports increase in popularity
LOCAL VERSUS REGIONAL NEEDS
Through the assessment process and evaluation of the current capacity and demand of fields there
exists a strong need and desire to provide both local and regional facilities for outdoor recreational
programs. 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.

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).

1 School District Bond Referendum: A proposed football field/track and a football field with bleacher seating will
displace four multi -use athletic fields and one multi -use ballfield. 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.
