Parks Commission Minutes - 12/18103 Revisions to the Comorehensive Plan. A copy of the park inventory was provided to the Parks Commission members. Nancy McCaffrey reviewed the contcnts of the in entory. Some additions and revisions were made. The Fallon Avcnue Park was discussed. T is is a small park oflimited use. Because it is not suitable fl)f development as an active park, it was suggested that Adam Hawkinson and Jeff O'Neill look into the possibility of selling he land. The Mississippi Drive Park (Swan) was al 0 discussed. Because of the increasing interest by people in the swans this park is attracting lore visitors. Nancy McCaffrey noted that the park is listed in thc DNR brochure. Since the p rk is commonly referred to as the "Swan Park" there was some discussion on whether the name, should be changed to reflect that. Chair Larry Nolan suggested that the Park Commission mem . ers consider this matter and bring it back at the January meeting. Battle Rapids Park was Iso mentioned as a viewing area for the swans. There was discussion on the use of the Batie Rapids park area. Nancy McCafTrey felt the park should be a passive park with the primary' ocus the view of the river. The Parks Commission felt this park might be a possibility for a g ant application. With the revisions to the park inventory tl at phase of the Comprehensive Plan update will be complete. At the November meeting, the arks Commission made recommendations for changes in the city ordinance to clarify wi at is acceptable land for park dedication. Larry Nolan asked if this matter had been taken forward to the Council for consideration. Jeff O'Neill stated that since there are not any subdivisions immediately coming up. he felt this item should he reviewed by staff before it wen any further and added that as ofthis date it had not yet come up at site review. This will be rought back at the next meeting so that the Parks Commission can consider staff comment on the proposed changes. The Parks Commission also discussed th need to update the maps in thc comprehensive plan. Although the maps will he done by the eiher the planner or engineer, the Parks stall will need to identify the locations of parks that hav been added since the comprehensive plan was prepared. An update will be brought ba k at the next meeting. Jeff O'Neill stated that a developer is 100 ing an area east of the proposed Carlisle Village. This area was identilied as a site for a ne' ghborhood park. Adam lIawkinson raised a qucstion about when park development is initiate . lie questioned whether a certain numbcr of lots in the development had to be built on bcflw the park is developed. Larry Nolan stated he did not believe there was anything in writing tha, specified when park development takes place. Adam Hawkinson felt that by developing the paks earlier before the development is extensively built up, you eliminate the issue ofresidcnts l1)t knowing how close they are to thc park site or what type of park is in their development. Th offset to that is that there may be some residents who would question why a less built up dcvelopment would get a park earlier than a development that is built up and would have a greatcr need for a park. 7. Updates. JcffO'Neill stated that at an earlier Pari's Commission meeting there was discussion of applying park dedication fees to comme cial property. Jeff O'Neill stated he would try to get this issLle before the COLlncil in January. 2 Parks Commission M inules - 12/18/03 8. Parks Commission Appointment. . The term of fran Fair expires on December _ 1, 2003. She indicated her willingness to serve another term if the Parks Commission was illing. RICK TRAVER MOVED TO RECOMME D TO THE CITY COUNCIL THE APPOINTMENT OF FRAN FAIR TO A TI REE YEAR TERM ON THE PARKS COMMISSION COMMENCING JANUAR 1,2004. NANCY MCCAFFREY SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED tIN NIMOUSL Y. Adam Hawkinson and the Parks Commissi n discussed upcoming projects and priorities for 2004. The following are items that were fc t to be priorities: I) Acquisition of land for ballfield complex; 2) Completion of the Ea. t Bridge Park trail and arboretum; 3) Completion of the Groveland Park; 4) The construction of he pathway along CSA H 18 and 5) The restrooms at Ellison Park. 9. Identifvine eoals/proiects for 2004 focus. . Another item that the Parks Commission fe t deserving of focus was the development of a park and recreation department. At the present ime the City's role in park and recreation is primarily on developing and maintaining p' rks. The recreational aspects are handled by a number of different groups such as the sch 01. the associations, etc. It was felt that a centralized focus on developing recreation"I programs and scheduling use of city facilities would be more efficient. The question wa how to accomplish the mergi ng of various programs operated by a number of differen groups into one governing body for all recreational programs. The complexity of developing n entity to handle the recreation programs made it questionable whether this should be a goal for 2004. Jt was felt that at least there should be the beginning steps of meeting with the various groups operating the existing programs and starting discussions on how to set this up. It was uggested that perhaps having someone at the meeting from a community who had set u a recreation program would be helpful. Another possible resource would be a representativ> from the Minnesota Parks Association. Adam Hawkinson stated that the question of cha ging for the use of the fields is something that is being considered. JeffO'Nei\l stated tha a decision like that should come from Council and not staf!". . .lefT O'Neill brought up the issue of cross alks along major highways. At the last Council meeting discussion came up on the need fhr a crossing at CSAH 75 and Prairie Road and discussion on whether a pedestrian crossi g should be located on TII 25 between ih Street and CSAH 75. Fran Fair cited Gillard Avenu and County Road 39 as another location that should be considered. Larry Nolan stated that t e Parks Commission could discuss it but because it was an area relating to traffic and public afety he didn't know if it should be a primary focus of the Parks Commission. Nancy McCa fi-ey asked if sites were identified as meriting a pedestrian crosswalk who would pay for he cost of constructing them. Jeff O'Neill indicated that it would be likely that the City woule pick up most of the cost. It was pointed out that since CSAH 75 and TH 25 arc county an state roads and the City could not do anything in their right-of-way without obtaining appr )Val. Larry Nolan felt that perhaps lowering the speed limit might also need to be consid recl. 3 Parks Commission Minutes - 12/18/03 . Adam Hawkinson raised the issue of staffill J. With the continuing increase in park land acquisition it may be necessary to increase tailing in the parks department to handle it. While the Parks Commission acknowledged that ith the City's growth, the demands on the park staff continue to grow, they felt that staffing ne ds would be more in the realm of the Parks Superintendent with the Parks Commissio supplying support for obtaining budgeting for the staff. The determination of how much ad itional staff is needed and whether staff should be full~time or part-time should be that of the ark Superintendent. Nancy McCatTrey asked how often park i spections are done. Adam Hawkinson responded that they try to do them 3-4 times a year. I e added that another factor in determining how often inspections arc done, is the amount l' use the equipment receives. AdamIlawkinson stated that his staff, although small, has m ny talents. Because ofthe heavy load of routine work that must be done, staff docs not hav the opportunity to fully utilize their talents. A list of the goals for 2004 will be prepar d and brought back at the next meeting. Added] terns: Adam Hawkinson submitted a brochure s lowing the type of dock that will be going in at West Bridge Park. The dock will be located 0 f of Front Street on land that was acquired as part of the Riverwalk development. The dock i a result ofa grant application made in 2003. The Parks Commission felt it would be nice i installation was completed in time for the River Fest activities and if so then mayhe some kin of event or aetivity could he done focusing on the dock. . TDS is requesting an easement for land i1 the proposed Sunset Ponds development for placement of equipment needed for their utilities. The casement area would house a 6'xS' pad with cream colored cabinets containing t e equipment. The area would be screened and landscaped. At this time who will ulti ately own the site is not certain. The Parks Commission has stated that the land wo ld not be accepted as park land because the gas line easement makes it unusahle. It was felt that if this was to be considered open space or common area then ownership should be by the developer. Although the ownership question has not been resolved, TDS was asking 'or easement approval if the city should end up oWl1ing the land at this time as this would allow additional time for planning. The Parks Commission discussed this at length. They were fir in their position that they did not want the area in question as park land or for any other u e. However, if for some reason it did end up being owned by the city, the Parks Commissi n was not adverse to allowing the easement to TDS as shown on the attached drawing with th conditions that the area be screened and landscaped and that the structure be placed at least 12' olTthe property line to allow mowing with the city's equipment. Adam Hawkinson presented drawings' nd price quotes from Flanagan Sales, Game Time and Earl F. Anderson for play equipment f(f the Country Club Park. The price estimates were in the $20,000 range. The bids were to i elude the material, edging around the entire play area including the swings, playstructure an installation of playstructure. The swings from the existing site will be used with the new playstructure. $20,000 has heen set aside in the park hudget for this improvement. After r viewing the various sketches, the Parks Commission consensus was to go with the Earl F. nderson structure, which included a digger. . 4 . . . Parks Comm ission Minutes -- 12/18/03 Adam Hawkinson updated the Parks Commis ion on grants that he will be considering applying for in 2004. At this time Sunset Poids would not be included in any grant application for 2004. i I The restrooms in Ellison Park will not be do . e nntil after the River Fest activities. The staff is trying to determine iIthe existing building e uld be retrofitted or utilized in any way. It is proposed that the new restrooms will also ha e an electronic lock. Rick Traver asked if Par West and Fli\Icrest arks could be looked at and have statT come up with a revitalization plan. Even if work doe n't take place immediately having a plan will help keep focus on what needs to be done. 10. Adjourn. RICK TRAVER MOVED TO ADJOURN T 6:45 p.M. NANCY MCCAI'FREY SECON DED THE MOTION.

Park Commission members, This is something that John Simo a asked me to add to the agenda. We have had some issues at the cemete that have needed clarification. As you know we inherited the Riverside C metery and some things were done incorrectly by the previous owns. Bec se of this, there has to be some variations allowed in order to keep so order in the cemetery. These are the latest recommendations. If these c anges have already been through Parks Commission they will then need 0 go to council. T~~dJ~ Adam Hawkinson Park Superintendent . . . . . -~. dlJ~f 9.

I-;/I~q IJ.~ Park Commission members, I have prepared two options for lacement of the new play equipment at Country Club Park. The concerns I ave are that it is not too close to the volleyball court and the there is still su lcient open field area for people to play. There is also some room availabl on the North West side, with the only problem being ADA accessibility. The pathway is on the East side of the park at this time. Another altemati e is to install the equipment off the 60-foot easement on the South West si e. The play area dimensions for the equipment is 64' 4" x 52' 4", so it wou d fit. Our mowers are 7ft wide, so it would be advantageous to set it off to ne side if that option was chosen. If an alternative location is chosen, feel e to use a copy and draw it in the new location.

Park Commission members, If by chance I am unable to att nd the meeting on time I would like to address some of the items on the age da by letter. In regards to the tree planting this spring and summer. We have $15,000.00 in the budget in 2004. I had an idea that we could sp it up the planting between a spring and fall planting. This may not be so int' idating for people to volunteer, there wouldn't be so many trees to handle nd by fall we may have more sites that will require trees. I am unsure as to t: e full intension of the donation for trees made by the MPC and if only p rk plantings were what they had in mind, or if only for citizens or a com ination. I'm looking to Fran's guidance at this point. I do know that we can use 20 trees along the Groveland pathway. At this time there are 60 bare root tre s on order from Baileys. They are a variety of sizes of Maple, Ohio Buck ye, Marshall's Ash, Snow Crab, White Swamp Oak, and Japanese Tree Lilac We will need to add to this order. I would like to suggest that we order s me ball and burlap (B&B) trees as they are easy to handle and hold up t wind better than the bare root style. Another suggestion is to invest some f the funds into fertilizer pellets for the trees and some mycorryhizal inoc ant. This would give the trees the best chance for survival. When they et stressed, these additives will help them greatly. The total cost of the ad itives are as follows, inoculant is about $120.00 to $250.00, depending n how many tablets per tree and fertilizer would be about $175.00, at ne pack per tree. . The cost of the B&B trees is be een $80.00 and a $150.00 per tree. The large container trees are less exp sive and would still be easier to handle as well. I have sent four sourc s along for you to look at and research. These are my only books d I will need them back. Some are two years old but the prices have not hanged much. We also get a 10% discount because we belong to the Mi esota Nursery and Landscape Association (MNLA). Thank. you, .-7 / ~.. .~ ~~~ Adam Hawkinson Park Superintendent . /_J.i-tJ'{' a.......-- . Park Commission members, This is the agreement we would e ter into with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) with regards the fishing pier. You will note that John Simola has already made sam comments on the document. I have brought this before you to see if there ar any other comments or concerns. I feel honored that the DNR has t en such an interest in our site and that they have helped us so much alread with the extension of our boat launch at Ellison Park. I think that we eed to continue good relations with them and that this project is a great opp rtunity for the city, its citizens, and visitors.

January 21, 2004 Parks Commission members, I have reviewed the Insignia site proposal. I have made some comments on the plan. What I woul like to see is a full softball complex with a concession stand area and at east two full size soccer fields. The Soccer fields would be multi use and all fields would have lights in the future. You will also note someone ad added that more parking is needed. I also added to move the parking lot so more fields can be added to the plan. I believe that it is just a matter of re rganizing the site. One other thing to note is that there seems to be a lot 0 space in either marsh/swamp and under power lines. The power line area m y only receive partial credit and the swamps none. If this development i 400 acres then we should be getting a total dedication in the range of 41 0 a res. We need to make sure we add area for space not acceptable under ityordinance. I believe this could be a good tart to the field relief the city needs in the athletic field area. I hope that we spend some time examining this plan to really get what we want and not b tentative about our city needs. I still am in contact with Xcel about the e a land by the existing Xcel Ballfields. I am in the process of sending inform tion to Lori, the contact person at Xcel.
