The Parks Commission was informed that this item would not be considered at this meeting but a special meeting to discuss this item is scheduled for Thursday, August 4, 2005 at 4:30 p.m. . . . Parks Commission Minutes - 7/28/05 Adam I lawkinson stated that the City had been requested to carry the liability insurance for the playground. In checking with the City's insurance carrier, they indicated that the City cannot provide any insurance coverage for liability of premises/structures that are not owned by the City. Fran Fair noted that in the Council minutes attached to the agenda packet it stated that there was a need for a park in the area between TH 25 and County Road 39 and that only Outlot A of Country Manor was available. The site proposed at one time for the MCC is now being utilized by the National Guard. Fran Fair questioned whether there were other areas the Parks Commission should be looking at and there was discussion on other possible locations. 6. Park Maintenance. Park Superintendent, Adam Hawkinson submitted a list of the work that had been completed for the month. Fran Fair asked that Adam Hawkinson stop by East Bridge Park on a Monday when the gardening group was out there so they could discuss ideas for the park. There was discussion on what kind of surface should be utilized, pavers, asphalt or concrete. The feeling of the garden group was that they didn't want too many different surface types. Fran Fair said she supported the idea of drinking fountains in both East and West Bridge Parks even though she felt the fountain at West Bridge Park needs to be addressed first. Adam Ilawkinson stated if they are extra daylilies from the park they could be used around the retaining wall in Mcadow Oaks. Tom Perrault stated in regard to Pioneer Park a resident had stated that they wanted the path kept natural and not paved. Adam Hawkinson stated the pathway would be kept natural and that pathway is currently be used by the cross country team. However the pathway from Farmstead Avenue to the parking lot would need to be done. 7. Updates: A. Mississippi Park - Parking Lot: Adam Hawkinson indicated that Public Works Director John Simola had some sketches of the proposed parking for this area. There was concern about the bus traffic on the street during the swan viewing period. The sketch proposed would provide angle parking. The Parks Commission stated it was important to keep the residents in the area informed of what was proposed. The Parks Commission also discussed whether staff or an outside contractor would do the work; the estimated cost of the work and the time frame for doing it. This item will come back at the August Parks Commission meeting. B. Block 35 Landscaping Improvements - Al Loch had approached Adam Hawkinson about sight problems in the area. Block 35 is a City owned parking lot. The cedar trees according to Mr. Loch present a visibility problem and need to be trimmed back. 2 Parks Commission Minutes ~ 7/28/05 . The Parks Commission felt since impaired visibility was a safety issue, the City should take the necessary steps to correct the problem. c. Park Dedication _ Commercial Property - This was tabled until the next meeting. D. Transportation Plan - Discussion of the transportation plan was tabled since neither Rick Traver nor Jeff O'Neill were present to update the Parks Commission. Adam Hawkinson brought up the Monte Club Villa development and the elevation problem where the pathway comes in. There is a 20' difference in elevation. The Parks Commission requested a copy of the drawing for this development be gi ven them. Parks Commission also discussed pedestrian crossing of 'IH 25 noting with the amount oftraf1ic on the road it is not a good situation for pedestrians. A pedestrian bridge over TH 25 or tunnel were options suggested. Added Items: Signs: Adam Hawkinson showed sketches of the revised signs for East and West Bridge Park and the Parwest Park. The cost for the signs quoted by Nick's Signs is $650/each for a total 0[$1,950.00. . Capita/Improvements _ 2006: Among the items listed for capital improvements in 2006 were: I) Play structure for city ballfields; 2) Play structure for Pioneer Park; 3) Surveillance system fi)r Pioneer Park; 4) 4 x 4 pickup truck; 5) $50,000 in reserve towards future athletic complex; 6) Parking lot at the Groveland Park; 7) Ellison Park restrooms; 8) Pathway overlay program; 9) Park development for Sunset Ponds and 10) Water fountains in parks. Based on preliminary estimates the total capital improvements proposed would cost approximately $337,000. Adam Hawkinson stated that in 2004 and 2005 funds were budgeted for the athletic complex so there is a reserve of funds being established.. He also reviewed in more detail what each project entailed. Storage at East Bridge Park: A resident near the East Bridge Park allows the gardeners to use his shed to store their tools. It was indicated that he was no longer interested in allowing the gardeners to use this space. The question was whether there was any confirmation as to whether or not this space was available and if not, what other options ror tool storage are available. Projects to be completed in 2005: Adam Hawkinson reviewed a list of projects that they anticipate completing yet this year which include: hard court at the Groveland Park; hard court at the 4th Street Park; dumpster bin enclosures at Ellison and West Bridge Park; improvements to the Meadow Oak Pathway, youth football fields and baseball field fencing. Adam Hawkinson discussed purchasing 6 wood and 6 aluminum picnic tables for the parks. It is proposed that the aluminum tables would be moved to the parks that need additional seating for special events since they would be easier to move. . ,., .) . . . Parks Commission Minutes - 7/28/05 NANCY MCCAFFREY MOVED TO HAVE ADAM HA WKINSON PURCHASE THE ADDITIONAL PICNIC TABLES. BEN HITTER SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. The Parks Commission discussed Groveland Park and emphasized the need to continue on with getting the park developed. The Parks Commission felt some kind of shelter should be located at the park. They felt it was needed to provide shading for those who use the parks. Adam Hawkinson informed the Parks Commission on the status of the additional area from Excel Energy for field use. He indicated that the person currently renting the land has stated that the City might as well take all of the land for field use.. Adam Hawkinson also brought up the fall protection from the playground equipment at the Halboul and ParWest parks. What is currently there docs not meet standards. Ben Hitter asked if there was going to be a fall tree planting programs. There was discussion on the time frame needed to order the trees and get the information out to the public. 8. Adiourn.

MINUTES SPECIAL MEETING - PARKS COMMISSION Thursday August 4, 2005 - 4:30 p.m. Members Present: Fran Fair, Ben Hitter, Larry Nolan, Rick Traver and Council Liaison, Tom Perrault. Members Ahsent: Nancy MeCa11l"ey Others Present: Adam Hawkinson, Park Superintendent; Kitty Baltos MCC Director. 1. Call to Order. Chair Nolan called the meeting to order at 4:30 p.m. and declared a quorum present. He stated the purpose of the special meeting was to review and discuss a proposal to have the City share in the cost of constructing a playground on the Swan River Charter School site. 2. Swan River Charter School Plav2round Proposal. Isabelle Olson, Scott Watters and other representatives of the Swan River Charter School were present to explain their proposal and review the playground designs. Larry Nolan stated the Parks Commission has received a letter frorn City Administrator, Rick Wolfsteller, which indicated that the City's insurance company could not provide liability insurance for structures that are not on City property. Isabelle Olson stated the charter school would take care of the liability insurance. Isabelle Olson also brought up accessibility to the playground and stated the charter school would have a policy similar to what other school districts had in that the playground would not be available to the puhlic during school hours. The school day is over at 3:30 and she didn't feel that parents would utilize the park much until after children were horne from school. She also noted a safety concern about other adults, not associated with the school being present on the playground when school was in session. Larry Nolan stated that the City does not pay for play equipment at other school districts. Isabelle Olson responded that when the City sold the land to the school there was sorne questioning o/"that action by residents. She felt this was a way of giving the land back to the community. Isabelle Olson stated that there is no other play area in the vicinity and did not feel that other parks such as Ellison or West Bridge were feasible for the children in this area since they would have to cross a heavily traveled road to access the park and there is also the added risk of these parks being along the river. Isabelle Olson stated the play area by the school would be fenced which is a cost that the charter school would pick up. She added that the children who would trequent this playground would he coming from nearby apartments. Parks Commission Minutes - 8/4/05 . Fran fair stated that the Parks Commission has responded readily to help where there is a need. Much of the area is commercial in nature so the need for a park in the immediate area was not there. As redevelopment occurs, the Parks Commission will be looking at possible sites for a park. There were plans for a passive park on the community center site but with some oftbe community center property going to the school, the National Guard is now utilizing the area that was proposed for a passive park. Larry Nolan expressed some concern that even though the school was carrying thc liability insurancc, the fact that City would be a partner in this project could expose the City to a certain amount of risk in that if someone was suing the charter school they would most likely name the City in the lawsuit as well. Rick Traver explained tbat witb a city park there are installation and maintenance requirements that the city complies with adding that the Parks Department has an inspection and maintenance program for their parks. Isabelle Olson indicated that the scbool could hire someone to do the inspection based on an inspection and maintenance program similar to what the City uses. She stated that since the City is already partnering with the chartcr school on this venture the City has already exposed themselves to the risk ofbcing named in any lawsuit against the school. Fran Fair questioned whether the Parks Commission should be involved in the construction of playgrounds on private property. She asked about thc enrollment at thc school and how many were residents of thc City of Monticello. Isabelle Olson responded that approximately 701Yo wcrc from the Monticello school district. Rick Traver asked Tom Perrault, Council liaison to the Parks Commission, what the feeling of the Council was. Tom Perrault stated he had not talked at length to the other Council members but stated he did have concerns about it addition to the insurance question. Isabelle Olson stated that since the Community Center would be using the school facility for weddings, etc. they felt the playground would be something the Community Center would like to see. Fran Fair stated that a substantial amount of money is being requested for a playground that the Parks Commission didn't know for sure if they fclt should be part of the park system. Rick Travcr addcd that the amount of the requested contribution is considerably morc than the Parks Commission has spent on anyone playground. Financial constraints have required that the Parks Commission dcvelop the parks in increments, i.e. playground equipment one year, parking lot another year, landscaping another year, etc. Ben Hitter felt that the park system is a public system and didn't know whetber tbis playground really helonged in a park system. Rick Traver stated that if there is a need for a park in this area, he would like to look at the entire area to see what sites are available for a park. He didn't want to contribute funds to the playground projcct and thcn not have funds available latcr for developing a park site in this arca.. Larry Nolan questioned what the Parks Commission role should be in a development on private property. . . 2 Parks Commission Minutes - 8/4/05 . Ben Hitter asked if there grants avai labl e to the school. Isabelle Olson stated they have appl i ed for a federal grant for $40,000. She noted they are in the second stage of the grant application process and although they have not received the grant she felt ihey had a reasonable chance of receiving it. She added the school could not start building the playground until the grant was received. Adam Hawkinson asked if it was a matching fund grant. Isabelle Olson indicated it was not. The Parks Commission stated the question is whether this is a proper location for a park and whether, with the limited funds available for park development, this was a priority. There was some discussion on whether park dedication funds could be used for this. Rick Traver felt how and for what park dedication monies could be used should be checked out further. The other option would be to budget funds for ihis as they do for other capital improvements not covered by park dedication or pathway funds. Rick Traver said before they would budget for tbis, they would like to see more precise cost figures. Adam Hawkinson asked about the fencing and noted that the City parks are not fenced in. Isabel1e Olson stated the fencing was required because of the proximity to the railroad tracks and the parking lot so ihere were safety concerns tbat factored into the decision to fence the play area. Fran Fair stated she did not want the charter school to have any false hopes that the Parks Commission would budget for this project. She questioned whether this type of project truly belonged in the City's park system. Rick Traver stated he bad reservations about using park dollars for this project. He stated he realized the Council makes the fmal decision but felt there were other park needs that were of greater priority. FRAN FAIR MOVED TO DENY THE REQUEST OF THE SWAN RIVER CHARTER SCHOOL TO HA VE THE PARKS COMMISSION INVOLVED IN THE PROPOSAL FOR PLA YGROUND INSTALLATION ON THE SCHOOL SITE. RICK TRAVER SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. . 3. Adjournment. BEN HITTER MOVED TO ADJOURN TI-IE MEETING AT 5:20 P.M. FRAN FAIR SECONDED THE MOTION.

To date, Gary Revnig has raiscd $20,000 and is asking thc Parks Commission to make a rccommendation to the City Council to donate $5,000 to $10,000 to lighting the baseball field. Discussion included attempting to get additional vcndor bids, parking issues, increased traffic and commcrcial value of the land once the interchange is completed, and the no alcohol on school property policy. Adam Hawkinson stated that whilc the $5,000 requcst is not out of line, therc is a contract with the Pole Cats to play on the City baIlfields which would have to be reviewed. FRAN fAIR MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE COUNCIL TIIAT TIlE CITY MAKE A DONATION OF $5,000 FROM THE GENERAL FUNDS TO PURCI lASE LIGHTS FOR THE I IIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL FIELDS, CONTINGENT THAT A MUTUALLY AGREEABLE SOLUTION CAN BE MADE WITH THE POLE CAT CONTRACT. NANCY MCCAFFREY SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED lJNANIMOUSL Y. ~ 5. Review development plan - Hidden Forest/Sunset Ridl!c. . Rick Lewandowski and Denny Muyres of Edina Development Corporation, representing Hidden Forest, and Mark Woolston, representing Sunset Ridge, reviewed two park concept plans for an approximately 47 acres wetland park that would include the area of County Ditch 33 located at the east end of Monticello. Wanting input and guidance from the Parks Commission, and assuming wetland restoration grant money is obtained, Rick Lewandowski distributed photos of the current Ditch 33 site and then described two concept maps. One concept has several smaller ponds, surroundcd almost entirely by a pathway, with a boardwalk crossing wetlands on the north end, near a neighborhood park, the other concept has one 20- acre lake running the length of the wetland, surrounded by walking trail, boardwalk with an overlook, also located near a neighborhood park. Wetland specialist, John Smythe, provided photos of the typcs of wetland plants that will be planted. Jon Bogart, Bogart, Pederson & Associates, discussed how the new outlet lc)r County Ditch 33 would benefit lands downstream, and the need to have a slope around the lake so as not to impact housing lots. There was discussion regarding the depth of the lake which will destroy undesi rable plants so new wetland plants can be planted. According to Rick L,ewandowski, an estimated timeline is to havc discussions with City engineer, stafT and Council, obtain restoration grants, get a good plan and complete in year two. Fran Fair suggested that the wctland park be started before and clearly included in the marketing of the housing project. . Landscaper Sherry Buss described the proposcd pathway and neighborhood park. The wood chip or asphalt trail is approximately 2/3 of a mile long and include bcnches, ovcrlooks and an elevated boardwalk. The boardwalk will be supported by metal posts on wide footings. Sherry Buss reviewed concept maps of two neighborhood park layouts. The park is approximately 1.5 acres and located on the north end of the wetland, has thc nicest view, includes access on two sides as well as a parking lot, picnic shelter, a baskctball court and two play areas. She also providcd a handout with photo details of suggested playground features. Tom Perrault asked Parks Commission Minutes - 3/24/05 . whether it would be bettcr to locate the park more to the southcast but that location would not provide the required twosided access necessary. Parks Commission thanked the Hidden Forcst and Sunset Ridge representatives for their in- depth presentation. The Parks Commission recommends the one lake version of the wetland vs having several small ponds and that the pathway be asphalt vs woodchips. The preferred neighborhood park concept is thc one with the circular play areas in the center with the parking entrance on the east side, off the less busy road. A recommendation was made to have an additional shelter and/or overlook on the wetland side of the park to take advantage ofthe view. Finally, it was suggested that the "stinger" play feature be replaced with a "digger". 6. Jefferson Concept Plan Review . Jeff O'Neill reviewed the concept plan for Silver Springs Golf Course renovation, now called Jefferson of Monticello, which will go before the City Council at the second meeting in April. Therc will be a planning meeting at 3 PM, Monday, April 4, prior to the public hearing. This is only a beginning, lots of changes are expected to be made. The golf course will be reduced from 36 to 18 holes. Park space and a trail system needs to be considered. Consideration should be given to building trails into Otter Creek area. Should the wetlands be considered as parks and/or trails? Park dedication dollars in this high density area should be very high, and could build a fund to pay for a good share of the sports facility located near the 1-94 Interchange at Orchard Avenue. Jefferson Parkway will run the length of the development. There most likely will be a mix of private and public funds for road maintenance. 7. YMCA Development The YMCA is considering selling property on Long and Bertram Lakes. There are discussions about preserving the area as a potential regional park. 8. Poplar Hills There is no change to report: 300 apartments and 400 housing units, three fields, two junior fields are proposed. Pathway meets standards. 9. Park Maintenance Adam l-lawkinson submitted a list of the work completed. He reported 437 trees have been ordered for the tree planting date of Saturday, April 23. Requests have been received from two-thirds of Jetter responders. 10. Adjourn FRAN FAIR MOVED TO AJOURN. NANCY MCCAFFREY SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. . ~~........-------,-~,~,~"~'_..~....----~- Alternate Recording Secretary (Nancy McCaffrey) Park Commission Minutes - 4/28/05 . current market value. Larry Nolan stated he didn't like the idea of the park land consisting of a number of smaller pieces. Nancy McCaffrey asked about having one tier of lots. The engineer indicated that design would not allow for enough lots to make for a profitable development. Rick Traver said just the concept of giving up park land or trading it for what was proposed was not something he could support. He also felt the Parks Commission needed to look at the other properties in this area so that the Parks Commission could see the whole picture and better determine park land needs. The engineer noted the road width is proposed to be 26 feet. Tom Perrault stated that with the pathway and the relatively small amount of traffic that would be generated he didn't think the sidewalk that is proposed would be necessary. There was continued discussion on the value of the City park land. The Parks Commission felt this parcel of land was central to the development of properties around it. The park when developed could serve multiple neighborhoods. The Parks Commission did not feel it was a good idea to give up the park land. Tom Perrault stated he was not opposed to working out an agreement with the developer on the park land. 6. Eae:le Scout Project. Phil Simondet came before the Parks Commission with a proposal to install either a fishing dock or a viewing dock near the boat launch at Ellison Park as his Eagle Scout project. He showed proposed design drawings to the Park Commission. Larry Nolan asked if the Department of Natural Resources would have to review this. Adam Ilawkinson stated the DNR would have input on this and he suggested that Phil Simondct contact Tryg Hanson of the DNR to get his suggestions. The Park Commission encouraged him to proceed with the project but did note it required approval of the DNR as well. The Park Commissiou asked that after he talked to the DNR he come back to the Parks Commission on this project. . ,. Added Item-Sunset Ride:e/Hidden Forest. Mark Woolston and Rick Lewandowski came back to the Parks Commission to ask for clarification on the preferred park design for their development. The Park Commission indicated tbey preferred concept #1 which had the circular playgronnd design located centrally in the park but they wonld like to see the overlook shown in concept #2 included in the concept #1 layout. The developers stated that their proposed land dedication is 8.6 acres and in lieu of any remaining park dedication being a cash payment, they were proposing to construct the park in addition to the land dedication. They added that since the park would be a marketing tool for the development, the park construction would be done early on. The Parks Commission felt this was a reasonable proposal but specified trail construction and playground equipment installation would have to meet design criteria. They suggested the developers work with Adam Hawkinson to make sure that all design standards are met. The Parks Commission was encouraged that the developers felt the park was a signilicant amenity to their development and planned to have it constructed early in the development process. . Mark Woolston stated the developers have been meeting with a wetland specialist and indicated that a number of wetland issues will be resolved when the connty ditch outlet has been determined. Mark 3 . . . Park Commission Minutes - 4/28/05 Woolston asked to be placed on the agenda for the Parks Commission's May meeting. At that time he will have a list of equipment to be installed in the park. Wayne Mayer suggested that the Parks Commission get a commitment from the developer as to what will be constructed in the park. 7. Park Maintenance. Adam Hawkinson submitted a list of the work completed by his stafr. He indicated that the tree planting event was succcssful. Approximately 285 trees were planted by staff and volunteers. There was a slight problem with Gopher State One Call not having all the utility locates done in time. The trees that are remaining will be used in the parks and some were planted by the wastewater treatment plant as requested by the Council. He noted that this event took a considerable amount of stafT time and some other projects were delayed because of it but they are hoping to catch up. Larry Nolan asked about the ballfields. Adam Hawkinson indicated the flelds have been aerated and they are looking a little better. They are waiting for the Street Department so that they can get the blade on the tractor and use that for the ballf1elds. Adam Hawkinson has met with the Youth Baseball Association about the proposed improvements for the Hillcrest ballficld. There was some discussion the demand f(Jr fields and how that can be met. It was noted that the lighting at the high school ballflelds should help out the situation. Nancy McCa1Trey asked about the retaining wall at the Mcadow Oak Park. Adam Hawkinson replied that it should be done shortly. 8. 2005 Capital Improvement Projects. The Parks Commission reviewed the capital improvements list. Larry Nolan asked which playground structures needed to be brought into compliance with ADA requirements. Adam I-Iawki nson noted that there are a number of parks that do not have ADA compliant access to the play area. Adam Hawkinson report the surfacing of the Pioneer Park is being bid and should be done this year. Rick Traver asked what worked was proposed for the Cardinal Hills Tot Lot. Adam Hawkinson stated that there arc a number of different pods at this location but there is no access going to the different pods and no opening going into the pod. Larry Nolan asked about the status of the Ellison Park restrooms. Adam Hawkinson stated he is working on the bid/contract documents and once they have been reviewed by the City Attorney the project can be advertised. 9. Updates/other items. Walk and Roll- Larry Nolan stated the route for Walk and Roll had changed and he wanted to know where thc Park Commission wanted to be located on the route. Parks Commission decided to be at Pioneer Park. Larry Nolan, Rick Traver and Nancy McCaffrey would be available to work at that event. There was some discussion on handouts that the Park Commission would distribute. Park Dedication Handout - The handout containing speciflc information on park dedication requirements was revicwed previously. Larry Nolan suggested if the Parks Commission had no other changes this should be given to the Community Development Department so that it 4 MONTICELLO PARKS DEPARTMENT Work list August 25tb, 2005 July 28tb thru August 25t\ 2005 .
