Nancy MCCaflfey added a discussion of the Par West Park to the agenda and Larry Nolan added a repon On the Be Active seminar to the agenda. 4.~ Greg Engle from the Monticello Youth Football Associ tion SPoke to the Parks Commission regard in g COntinued Use of the ba II fields ftJr YOuth lootb III and soccer. He stated that a dec isio n had heen made On not aHoWing the USe of the fields for filotball and soccer Without consulting the groups who Use the fields. Earl Smith stated that the Use of the aWields for football Was on a trial basis. Adam HaWkinson felt that multiple Use of the ballfields as nOI good and he ciled compaction of fields, delerioration of Ihe turf and sUsceptibility to weed'. He indicated Ihat this Was especiaHy so wilh Field #4. Greg Engle questioned how an assessment fdamage could be made so early in Ihe season. Greg Engle did nol feel there Was anything Wron With the fields as a result of Ihe multiple Parks Commission Minutes - 5/16/02 . use and felt the decision to limit the use l' the fields was made without looking into it thoroughly. Greg Engle stated that there is 150 kids iI grades 4-6 who participate in youth football. He felt that with extra care and maintenance, the fiel s would not be irreparably damaged by multiple use. Since there are not enough fields to meet the de nand, the existing fields had to be used for multiple purposes. At the present time the youth 1'( otballleague, including teams from Becker, Rig Lake, Milaca, Princeton and Monticello use the fields on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Adam Hawkinson stated that even though they h ve aerated and fertilized the fields there arc sti II areas where the turf hasn't recovered yet. He as not only concerned about the condition of the field but also the cost to maintain the fields. The elds need tirne for recovery from extended use and multiple use doesn't allow for that recovery time. reg Engle questioned why the baseball team should have exclusive use of the ballfield. Earl Smith asked if the softball fields could be used. Greg Engle indicated they were 3' short. The Parksommission discussed rotating the fields for team use. Greg Engle added that the soccer teams u 'e the fields as well and didn't feel rotating the fields would meet the needs of the program. . The Parks Commission discussed other 0 tions in addition to rotating the fields, such as utilizing the school fields and the fields by Dahlheime Distributing. Adam Hawkinson informed the Parks Commission that there arc some lights th t could be donated and used on other fields and also suggested re-scheduling the games so that they were played during the day which would lighten the lnaintenance load for the park staff. Greg Engle replied that the lights were too old to be ctlicient and stated that in the past the park department was always able to keep up with the field maintenance. Earl Smith stated that before the Parks C\ mmissionmade any decision they would want to discuss it further among the commission members. nd give it additional study. Since this item was put on the agenda f(Jr the June meeting at the reques of Gene Emanuel it would be discussed further at that time. Greg Engle stated that since the registrati n f(x the football league had already been sent out the association would not be able to handle al y additional fee increase. .laney Velde, also with the Monticello Youth Football, stated that the Parks Commission decision would impact the kids from other communities as well as Monticello. . In further discussion of the field use, Ada 1 Hawkinson informed the Parks Commission that he had talked to John Simola about the areas of ear on the fields before he even knew the ballfield was used for soccer and J()otball. Five differel t organizations have use the field but contribute only $5,000 towards maintenance of the fields and ma'ntenance cost is far in excess of $5,000. Earl Smith that the field used by the Polecats, the town baseb III team should be a good Jield in good shape. Earl Smith also questioned who was scheduling the u e of the fields. Adam Hawkinson stated that the scheduling is done through the Public Wo ks Office. Adam Hawkinson stated that they are still trying to get a handle on how much use th ~ fields are getting so they can determine how much maintenance they will have to do. The Pa 'ks Commission generally felt that the city may have to continue to allow the use of the fields for his year and make establishment of new fIelds a priority in next years budget. One suggestion was po 'sibly using the 4th Street park or Freeway Fields but the concern was also expressed that the Park I epartment not be overextended in order to accommodate the wishes of the various organizations us ng the facilities. Adam Hawkinson, John Simola, Earl Smith 2 . . . 7. Parks Commission Minutes - 5/16/02 and Rick Traver will meet beJore the next Parks Commission meeting to review the fields and gather additional information. Adam Hawkinso stated that at some point he envisioned establishment of an athletic complex that would house the softball, soccer and football fields adding that with the fields in one area maintenance is more efficient. It was noted that in previous discussions the area around Kjellbergs had been discussed as a locatio [-or additional fields. It was felt that some study would have to be done to determine the number of fields needed and the land area that would have to acquired to develop these fields. 5. Discussion of Rollin Woods/Wildwood {id c Area Park Plan. Adam Hawkinson submitted a preliminary ketch showing an 8' trail coming off Bakken Street into the park to the playground equipment and shelter. A meeting will be set up to get input from the residents in the area. Adam Hawkinson w II have a couple of options that the residents can view and comment on. Because of the sharp drop off towards the drainage area, the play area was placed as Jar away as possible in order to keep a sepa ation between the play area and the hazardous area. Pictures of some play structures for the pro osed park were submitted. This generated discussed as to whether this type of development was ap ropriate fix a neighborhood park. Earl Smith felt the neighborhood parks were meant more Jc)r sings while the play structures were more for community parks. The Parks Commission t en discussed the definition of tot lot, neighborhood park and community park, the area they serve an how they should be developed. Earl Smith felt the Parks Commission should come up with a d velopment policy tlll' each type of park. Rick Traver felt a play structure would be appropriate for thi. park as long as it not too elaborate in design and cited #11707 or 11257 on the models pictured as nes he lelt appropriate. Adam l-lawkinson will come back with additional pictures of play structUles. 6. Pioneer Park Shelter. Adam Hawkinson inJormed the Parks Comn ission that the cupolas had been ordered and the contractor is suppose to be finishing the l1as ing. John Simola and Adamllawkinson will be meeting with the Lions Club regarding the bathroom.. for the shelter. The CSAI-f 75 project will mill up a portion of the roadway that will be used as b, se tllr the parking lot area. The material will be provided at no charge. Sewer and water has t ) be brought to the shelter yet. Pathway and stens at East Bridge Park. Adam Hawkinson brought up another option elating to the steps and pathway at East Bridge Park. He suggested that they come ofT the middle 0 the east end of the parking lot through the iris bed and gradually wind down towards the river. With this route some of the irrigation system would have to be relocated. Although this alignment would ot be as steep, it still would not be handicapped accessible. However the access from West Bri ge Park to East Bridge Park is handicapped accessible. It was felt that the steps could be emoved in the Jail and the vegetation transplanted then. Adam Hawkinson will continue work on the a ignment. 3 . . . 9. Parks Commission Minutes - 5/16/02 8. Park Maintenance Items. Adanl Ilawkinson submitted a list of the 11aintcnance work completed fl.)r the month. -l'hcre was some additional discussion on maintcnan e in Riverside Cemetery and construction of the bike park at the Community Center. The Park DCpart11cnt did the tree removal from the site and the Street Ikpartrnent is doing the site preparation. The Parks Commission also discussed the plantings along Walnut Street and who was to rnaintain tl1'm. The Parks Commission didn't feel the Park Department could take on this responsibil ty with all the other duties they have. It was suggested that something be set up similar to what is done by the Girl Scouts with Ellison Park. Adam Hawkinson conunended the Park Departlnent staff in heir work on rebuilding the stone wall at West Bridge Park. The Parks Commission requested when the picnic tables were set out at West Bridge Park one table should also be located at East Bridge Park. Fran Fair asked about the timing of the irrigation system at East Bridge Parle Leo Schroden indica cd that it is currently set to come on more frequently for shorter periods of time because of the see ing. Once the seed is established the original sprinkling schedule will be put in place. The creepil g charlie at the park also needs to be sprayed. resentativ s to attend Plannin Commission/Council mcctin s. The Parks Commission felt that someone 'hould be attending Planning Commission/Council nleetings vvhen there are park related items on the a'cnda. It was suggested that the Park Chairman be on the rnailing list to receive Planning Commissi m and Council agendas. 10. LJ pdates. A. Entrance Signs - Nancy McCalTre in1l.mned the Parks Commission that the proposed entrance sign at the River Street 10 'ation would have to be reviewed by the Design Advisory Team. Earl Smith informcd the P rks Commission that County responded that they would not allow placing the city entrance sign on county right of way for CSAH 75. Earl Smith felt there was adequate city right 0 'way fl.)r placing the west entrance sign on city right of way. Adam Ilawkinson will work on getting the right of way area marked so it can be detennined ifthere is adequate spa 'e to place the sign. Nancy McCaffrey will assist Adam Ilawkinson in getting information m the construction of the signs. B. ATV Subcommittee - The group n et prior to the regular Parks Commission meeting on 5/16/02. Larry Nolan stated that s atutes arc more restrictive regarding ATV use than they arc snowrnobilc use. It comes do n to the f~lct the ATV's are basically ban for use within the City. John Simola will be preparing a report to be submitted to the Parks Commission. c. Planning Comnlission Action on Carriage House and Bruggeman Development.

EARL SMITH SECONDED THE MaTrON. MOTION CARRlED UNANIMC lJSL Y. ----- --. ----.----.---------- --.---------. ------- Recording Secretary . 5 . . . DRAr=T 9. Consideration of a sketch Ian review ()f a residential PUD in a PZM District. Aoolicant: Shawn Weinand Steve Grittman provided the report sta ing Shawn Weinand has requested a sketch plan review of a PU D concept plan for a pI' posed residential project at the intersection of School Boulevard and Oakwood Driv (County Road 117). Weinand requests review and comment only at this time. Grittman' dvised that the information the Planning Commission provides will help guide - subsequent application for concept and development stage PUD approval at al upcoming meeting. The project is located in a PZM Zoning District, and consists of' pproximately 162 townhouse units on about 19.4 acres, plus an additional 2.5 acres und rneath power line casements along the south border of the project. This calculates 0 a net density (exclusive of the power line property) 01'8.] units per acre. The g oss density, including the power line property, would be approximately 7.3 units per ere. The project relies on the ability to gai two access drives to County Road 117. Without this additional access, it may be more important to have an internal "collector" road serving the project. This will need to e determined with the County Transportation Department. The City should also co ment on the layout issues raised by the plan. A second issue raised by the plan is tl e location of a playground structure proposed for the area under the power Ii nes in the s uthwest corner of the project. Based on experience with other parks, staff is I' commending that playground areas be located outside of thc power line casement ar as. Connected to this issue is that of opel space within the project. Because or the density and the Cact that the primary open spa'e in the project is shown in the power line casement. there is very little contiguo IS open space within the project itself. The design or the project is intended to allow for a constantly changing view within the project, however, the views will almost always be of building facades. One of the suggestions for the project is to attempt to consolidat areas of open space within the project. and develop terminal views of that space for dri ve s within the project. From a plan view perspective, the project appears to be very c1uttere 1. At sketch stage, the City has the opp rtunity to give feedback to developers as to issues that may be raised by the project desi1n. As with any PUD, the intent is to use flexibility from ordinance standards to develop 1 project that is superior in design and amenities to projects that would Ineet every ?:onin ) regulation. Since this project design is highly schematic, the City's review should l1Cus on layout issues, open space, and general density. Staff is supportive of residential uses at this site, given the low density residential development to the east and south. I sues with this project include unit mix and internal layouts. Originally, planning staff 11' s discussed a greater mix of unit types on this site, -9- DRAFT . allowing more multiple family hou ing, with the expectation that a grcater amount of Opcn space could he retained at sim.'lar densities as a result. 8.3 units per acre on a townhouse design is very dense, an that density is reflected in the plan. Because of the density, a hard lank can be expecte ,due both to tbe amount of building, and the relative amount of paved surJaee. To accOl modate the proposal, very intense landscaping would be expected in an attempt to sollcn t 1e hard look of 'he project. Alternative paving materials in certain areas may also b-, considered to avoid the continual asphalt surLiCe. . Chair rrie advised of a resolution ad 'pted and approved by thc Planning Commission and City Council in 1999 regarding park being placed under pOWcr lines. This resolution denies aoy development where parks are proposed uuder power lines. Shawn Weinand. applicaot. stated they were not aware of the problems when parks are placed below power lincs and that they would not be placi g them in thosc areas now that they are aware of the problem. He also stated they hav taken care of drive access Conccrns. Weinand stated these units would sell in the up - er $130,000 to $ 170,000 range and that 50% of the uni 's wo ul d be so I d to fam i Ii es. Sq ua e Jootages would be 9 lOon the first floor, 750 on second floor {()t, 1700 total square f'oo finish. Weinand provided information on a similar project in Otsego which was suecessf I and sta'ed they would like to have a mode! op in September. starting with Phase I. Sin e there is both industrial and a mobile home park surrounding this site, there will he ext nsive landscaping and buffering which hc feels will improve the area and add density. Weinand also stated that they have designed this project with standards that were previo Isly approved by the Planning Commission for the Craig Scherber project across the fi-ee ay. Frie asked if they had addressed the iss les as stated in the report regarding continuous asphalt and park dedications, and Wein nd stated they have park land over on the Remmele piece that they may incorpora e. They arc Proposiog 26 Il wide roadways but could cut them back to 24 Il, gaining gr en space by eliminating Some nf'he paving. Ife also stated they would not prefer mixing in masonry to the roadways as it Would be too cxpensivc. These are totally maintenan e IJ-ee units in regard to siding and balconies_ all utilities are to 'he back o/'tl,e houses, as ell as the additional landscaping. Weinand also pointed out the side yard to the retail pie e and that some of the balconies encroach into this area, but according to the ordinance le telt that this was allowable but wanted to bring that to the Planning Commission' s 'lttention. . Robbie Smith sta'ed 'hat he would like th Planning Commission and slalfto look a' new developments to make SUrc 'hat we attrac families with school age children to help the school crisis. Herbst stated that they also need to be carcful not to mix lower value housing in'o higher value housing areasjLst to try to help the schools out. and he felt that they need to look at the development itsel and determine that it is a good quality development. Frie added 'hat the Plannin' Commission and City Cnuncil have discussed this previously and he feels that the standa ds tha' the city has put in place has driven the housing costs up and that is what is keepin 1 Lunilies away. -10- DRt'.FT Smith again asked the applicant wh t he would do as a developer to get housing that people with lamilies cao a/lord and einand provided some scenarios. Weinand advised the Planning Commission that he w( uld like to Come hack next month with preliminary and linal plat as he feels they are at t e preliminary stage already. They have already done their landscaping, roads, etc. einand would like the Planning Commission and staff give thcm a positive go ahead to proceed. . Popilek asked GriUman about the sm' Iler entrance lor garbage tnreks and would this be up to code and Grittmao stated this w uld have to be look at. Weinand advised that they can widen them and alsn would like a pro val of the entraoce Irom the County Road. Weinand stated this will be a privately maimained project with private streets and private snow removal. The commissioners as -cd about density beiog too high and Grittman stated it is high lor a townhouse projec , but he also stated that this is a PZM zoned district and this allows higher density. Dragsten also stated a concern with the square lootages wanted to make sure that these were within the city's new standards as well. Popilek added that he lelt this would be a very nice project lor PUD approval at tI is density. Weinand stated that they are confident in this builder. Consensus is to give Weinand their sup art and review the preliminary and final plat at the next meeting. Weinand asked ifther' were any ICe/ings on the entrance to the Coumy Road, double emrance or narrow emranc', and Dragsten stated they would have to meet state guidelines which Weinand advised hat they do meet the requirements. Stalfis push i ng lin 3 entrances per Gri ttman. H also stated sta n' was not in favor 0 r d i vi dcd entrances, espec iall y i r it is a pub Ii c stree , but if it is a pri vate street [hey are in fa Vln. . They also put in two [at lots in separate a eas and Weinand added that [hey are proposing a basketball COurt under the power lines t which Frie was quite adamam that it not be placed there. Weinand also asked the Plm ning Commission if they lavored developments lor lamilies or empty nester and they stated that growth was their issue. . -11- ~[Kl& LaC TION MAP NO SCALE OCELLO LLC MONTICELLO, MINNESOTA 13229 r.\ u ~ 0 YY\ f\ D \' f--" "0 q <<..., 1id ~~ ._u....l'll:./' t~t(;'~.[[.08S :-:~..,~ iODJ- ;;:; " ',-- r<~-'" ~ f........ ........ / ........, , ~ , , , :--.. , ........ ........

It was concensus that the residential use was not incompatible wi h mobile home park to the south, commercial to west, industrial to north, and single family to east Howe er, proximity to mobile home park raised concerns about project housing quality. Traffic/Circulation: Discussion included comments that related to a more intuitive circulation through the project As now drawn, a driver in the p oject would not be able to negotiate the street system and easily ge an exit. Suggestions included realignin the streets and buildings in the center of the project to create a mal understandable intersection. The cente area has several oddly angled intersections, combined with severa driveways backing out into the middle 0 the intersections One design suggestion included the concept of a loop road with spur streets to the perim ter access points, spacing the intersections to avoid conflicts with driveways. Staff liked the constantly ch nging views created by the plan, but doesn't like the high number of conflict areas. It was also noted that the applicant shou, d be pursuing permission for the second access to Edmondson (CR 117) with the County, and getting ve ification that the second access will be permitted. This concept will supported by staff, but the developer is t make the request. . A third issue on street layout was potenti I conflicts with the gas line easement. It is staffs experience that If gas company will permit 90 degree cros ings, but not the northerly Edmondson intersection design as shown on the plan. The applicant should be dis ussing this with the gas company, and provide documentation that the design will be approved. With regard to parking, the plan should s ow additional visitor parking at the rate of one space per three unit~ scattered in small pockets throughout th project. The current plan shows only about half that amount. This necessary since there will be no on-stree parking on the private streets. Parks and Trails The plan is very tight, nd provides two small tot-lots, plus a "hot--shot" basketball court along the southerly utility easements. St ff would prefer a more substantial tot lot area in the center of the project, with more visibility from the surro nding streets. The Klein Farms park to the east should serve adequately for larger activity needs. Also no play equipment should be located on the easement area. The current plan shows a series of intern I trails that connect to School Boulevard near the driveway access, Edmondson near the northern driveway a cess, and to the south along the utility easement. Staff would recommend the following: internal trail c nnections that gain access to the northeast corner of the site at School Boulevard and Edmondson, and t the southeast corner of the site at Edmondson and the UPA easement that runs to the east south of K ein Farms The plan should be design so that individual units would be within 200 feet of a trail that makes th se connections. Staff would recommend that a trail along Edmondson be completed with the projec , but that this would be a part of the "trunk" pathway system to be paid for, in part, out of City pathway funds Staff does not recommend sidewalks along internal streets due to the impact on landscaping. ' Other Design Issues Staff believes that t justify the use of PUD, the project should include the following: . 1. Brick elements on front of buildings 2. Texture-look roofing materials 3. Steeper roof pitches (6/12 to 8/12 or 4. Significant buffering from the mobile density) 5. Emphasize elevation changes where ore) ome park and from the power lines on the south (both depth and ossible to minimize impression of flatness Thursday_ June 20. 002 America Online: JOneill498 Page 2 of2 6 Add a berm in landscape area along Edmondson, and meander this pathway though the planting area_ 7 Ensure that all buildings, decks, porches, etc, meet minimum 30 foot setbacks 8 Hold phasing to maximum of 50 units before 2nd access is provided, and 100 units before 3rd access is . provided, 9 Minimize impacts of paired 2-car driveways - wide expanses of driveway pavement 10, Ensure that homeowners association is strong and well funded to account for long-term maintenance, 11, Intensively landscape areas with high exposure to offset the impact of high-density, low open space design. 12. Work with developer on facade of buildings to avoid plain, low-amenity design. 13. Be aware of small building separations, especially at rear. 14 Include large-planting landscaping in rear areas to mitigate site lines and soften views, It is assumed by staff that these are two-story units. The additional vertical elements will help mitigate the negative impact of the garage-front dominance, This needs to be confirmed. This is the summary of my notes. Let me know if you would like further clarification of any of them. -Steve G. . I j . Thursday. June 20, 2002 America Online: JOnei1l498 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Dawn, I received a call from Sue Johnson (878-2051) co wdinator with the Girl SCOllts, along with Melissa Bryant, who wanted to bein touch with tle City regarding plantings at Ellison Park, I gave her Adam's name but she has talked with hill already and said that she used to work with Wanda also to keep in touch regarding purchasin seeds, etc, and reimbursement through the City. She said shejust wanted someone at the Ci y to be aware of their planting schedules, etc. so that they weren't interfering with anything tha the City might be planning in the parlc According to Adam, he is up to speed on this pro ram (Adopt a Park) and he will be looking for the line item in the budget regarding reimbursem nts, Maybe this is something that the Parks Commission needs to discuss at one of their meetings. am unfamiliar with any of this so I told her I WOLl d pass this along to the Parks Commission. She did also comment on how pleasant it is work'ng with Adam and wanted to pass that along, Thanks, Lori
