PARKS COMMISSION RESOLUTION 1991-1
RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING DEVELOPMENT
OF PARK SPACE UNENCUMBERED HY
POWER LINES AND POOR PUBLIC ACCESS
C]
WHEREAS, the Parks Commission has been duly appointed by the City
Council to review and comment on parks facilities issues, and
WHEREAS, the Parks Commission has reviewed all existing park
facilities in the city of Monticello, and
WHEREAS, the Parks Commission has noted that existing parks
developed under power lines are not fully developable for park
purposes, as trees, overhead lighting, and park struc~ures are ::ot
allowed under power lines, and
WHEREAS, parks under power lines are limited in terms of the type
of park activities that may be conducted, and
WHEREAS, parks under power lines do not create a pleasing
recreational environment which results in under-utilization by the
public they are intended to service, and
WHEREAS, parks located in residential areas without sufficient
public access create park user/neighbor conflicts, and
WHEREAS, development of usable recreation space is a need in a
growing community.
THE PARKS COMMISSION HEREBY RECOMMENDS that the Planning Commission
and City Council deny approval of any preliminary or final plat
that includes development of park land that is under power lines or
bounded on more than two sides by residences.
Adopted this 17th day of July, 1991.

9. Consideration of type of restroom building -- Bridge Park. (J'.S.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
At the May 22 meeting, the Council requested staff to look into two ar
three types of restroom buildings for West Bridge Park. One of those
scenerios was to be an addition to the existing building.
When looking at the possibility to add on to the existing building, the
Park Superintendent and myself performed a detailed inspection of the
building and the location of the sanitary sewer trunk line which crosses
diagonally through the park. It was our opinion that the condition of
the building, its configuration, heating system, and the location of the
sanitary sewer, electrical, and gas services for the building, are not
conducive to a building addition that would be economically feasible or
architecturally pleasing. If one were to look at a large warming house
or a concession area which would also encompass heated restrooms, it
would be best to demolish the building in its entirety. Since the
building is currently in usable and satisfactory condition for its
purpose, this may not be practical. We, therefore, placed most of our
emphasis on an unattached building.
There are two spots where an unattached building could be easily
located. The most desireable spot for access to services and access from
. the skating rink and sliders would be in the northeast corner of the
existing parking lot. A secondary location would be southwesterly of the
existing warming house. The existing restraams could be kept intact
until completion of the new facilities.
The building itself could be a rectangular structure either of wood or
masonry and should contain approximately 300 sq ft to allow far handicap
access and a 4--foot chaseway far plumbing access. The size of the
building should be a minimum of 14'x24'. The following are estimated
costs for such a building.
I. BLOCK BUILDING/PITCHED ROOF (14X24)
A. Foundation and floor $ 2,000.00
B. Block work and materials 5,000.00
C. Roof, doors, insulation, and trim 5,000.00
D. Plumbing 5,500.00
E. Electrical 2,500.00
F. Sewer and water services 1,000.00
G. Paint 500.00
TOTAL 21,500.00

Council Agenda - 6/26/$9
II. WOOD FRAME BUILDING (14x24)
A. Foundation and floor $ 2,000.00
B. Building construction with wood siding,
milk house interior 12,500.00
C. Plumbing 5,500.00
D. Electrical 2,500.00
E. Sewer and water services 1,000.00
F. Paint and stain 750.00
TOTAL 24,250.00
The above costs are to be used for planning purposes only to show that a
wood frame building with a milk hawse paneled interior is expected to
cost more than a basic block building. The following are some costs for
a 25-foot hexagon building. This building would contain approximately
380 square feet of building area.
III. HEXAGON BUILDING, 25--FT ROOF, 380 SQ FT
A. Foundation and floor $ 2,600.00
B. Building materials, prefab 15,000.00
C. Building construction 7,000.00
D. Plumbing 5,500.00
E. Electrical 2,500.00
. F. Sewer and water service 1,000.00
G.. Paint and stain 750.00
TOTAL 34,350.00
Again, the above cost estimates are extremely rough and should only be
used to show the comparative cast difference between the buildings.
Actual costs of any of the buildings would have to be determined through
the bidding process.
This item is brought before you again merely to obtain some further
direction on which type of building to pursue. Once that is decided,
plans can be drawn and bids obtained.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. The first alternative is for the Council to arrive at a decision as
to the type of building to pursue along with the expected cost,
bearing in mind that the City's budget for this year for the project
is $2Q,000.
2. The second alternative is to look at the possibility of removing the
old warming house and building one entirely new large structure or
pavilion, including restrooms.
3. The third alternative is to do nothing but to continue to use the
existing restrooms and maintain them as best as possible.

C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The City staff would like to see some year-round restrooms constructed in
the park in the near future. Alternative #1 would serve that purpose.
xowever, if the Cady Council is conducive to the idea of a larger
structure, we could make plans for such a building and budget for it for
1990, whichever the Council so desires. I again must stress that the
above prices are for planning purposes only, and actual bid prices could
vary.
D. SUPPORTING DATA:
Floor plans and building views.
