PROJECT GOALS: A series of goals for the Bertram Chain of Lakes Regional Park Athletic Park has been developed to guide both the planning process described within this document, as well as continued future development and management of the athletic park. The desired outcome of the planning process is to yield a project product which meets the following goals. 1. Create a premier athletic park destination for the community and the region. 2. Create a park -like environment over an institutional environment, in recognition of the park's unique blend of passive and active outdoor recreation resources and opportunities. 3. Create an environment which enriches the outdoor recreation experience for Bertram park users, encouraging the exploration and connection to the larger regional park. 4. Provide for buffering and transition between the natural resource and athletic areas of the park. Orient the uses such that the most intense are separated from the most sensitive natural resources. "Intense" shall include an evaluation of both play /spectator use level and actual infrastructure impact in terms of view, required utilities, parking, etc. 5. Design within context of the athletic park's potential to serve the needs for both local and regional populations, today and into the future. 6. Provide for sustainability throughout design - including stormwater management and irrigation plans, recycling practices, materials for construction, etc. Consider and incorporate low- impact design elements for noise, light, energy and water consumption, field maintenance, etc. Utilize native landscape materials to the maximum extent practical for all landscapes. 7. Balance the needs of players, spectators and other park visitors in field design and layout, as well as placement and number of parking spaces and other visitor and player amenities. 8. Incorporate connections (pathways, access) within athletic park facility nodes and to the larger regional park which are in concert with the regional park concept. In addition, plan for and incorporate connections to the community consistent with the City's Park & Pathway Plan and Wright County Trail System Plan. 8 1 P a g e 9. Maximize efficiency in design to achieve phasing which meets needs prioritization and cost effectiveness. 10. Create an attractive regional recreation venue through design considerations. Consider the economic benefit and revenue potential of developing a regional athletic park without compromising a park experience. 11. Accommodate future adaption and evolving trends in outdoor recreation in plan design. 12. Consider programmatic opportunities in design, including partnerships with local recreation providers. 13. Provide the framework for immediate implementation for required interim improvements and a framework to guide future improvements. 14.

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.

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. Multiple Stakeholder and User Group Interviews, August 6, 2015 Multiple Stakeholder and User Group Interviews, August 7, 2015 Community Event (Blazing through Bertram), September 5, 2015 Public Open House #1, September 17, 2015 BCOL Advisory Council Meeting, October 2, 2015 Stakeholder and User Group Meeting, October 8, 2015 City Council Workshop #1, October 12, 2015 City Council Workshop #2, November 23, 2015 Public Open House #2, December 10, 2015 MAJOR TRENDS AND THEMES FROM THE PUBLIC PROCESS The public engagement sessions were instrumental in developing a thorough understanding of trends and demand pertaining to outdoor recreational athletics for the city and school district programs. In addition, residents and community groups identified themes which have been utilized in existing parks and should be promoted in the future development of parks. The following lists summarize the major themes and trends that emerged from the public input process. Monticello Outdoor Recreational Trends • Ballfield use is holding steady. • Soccer field use is increasine. Page 14 {C City of Monticello ontic cllo 505 Walnut 5treet,Suite 1 Monticello, MN 55362 • Lacrosse is a new sport that is increasing in popularity. • Flag football is expected to rise in popularity. • Women's softball has expressed interest, but spatial limitations are currently preventing sport from being organized. Themes characterized by Residents and Community Groups • Variety and adaptability in fields is important • Connections to nature areas and trails — avoid 'industrial look' • Residents would like more amenities at fields, including: • Picnic Shelters • Parking • Play Areas • Restrooms Page 15 {C City of Monticello ontic cllo 505 Walnut Street, Suite 1 Monticello, MN 55362 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. Availability of Hours on City Fields and School District Fields for City Recreational Programs Table #1.1 Surplus or Less Demand Capacity (Deficiency) Recommended Resting/ Practices / Available' Sport (Hours) Rotation 20% Games (Hours) Soccer and Lacrosse 2,726 545 2,557 (376) Football 755 151 524 80 Girls Fastpitch 554 111 326 117 Adult Softball 2,128 426 896 806 Baseball (American Legion, VFW & Polecats) 331 66 54 211 Baseball (Youth Program) 1,708 342 864 502 'Availability 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). 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. Page 16 {C City of Monticello ontic cllo 505 Walnut Street, Suite 1 Monticello, MN 55362 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. Projected Availability of Hours on City Fields and School District Fields Table #1.2 For City Recreational Programs 2025 Available 2030 Available Capacity 2025 Hours 2035 Demand Hours Sport (Hours) Demand 2 (Hours) Surplus/ (Hours) Surplus/ (Deficiency)2 (Deficiency)2 Soccer and Lacrosse 2,726 5,117 (2,391) 8,405 (5,679) Football 755 1,114 (359) 1,829 (1,074) Girls Fastpitch 554 721 (167) 1,184 (630) Adult Softball 2,128 2,181 (53) 3,583 (1,455) Baseball (American Legion, 331 198 133 325 6 VFW & Polecats) Baseball (Youth Program) 1,708 1,990 (282) 3,268 (1,560) 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. Page 17 {C City of Monticello ontic cllo 505 Walnut Street, Suite 1 Monticello, MN 55362 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). Comparison of Available Field Hours of Play and Scheduled Hours of Play Table #1.3 on City Fields and School District Fields Surplus or (Deficiency) School Bond Sport Capacity 2015 School Bond Decommissioning of Referendum and (Hours) Available Referendum' Xcel Fields Decommissioning of (Hours) (Hours) (Hours) Xcel Fields (Hours) Soccer and Lacrosse 2,726 (376) (376) (376) (376) Football 755 80 (388) (206) (674) Girls Fastpitch 554 117 117 117 117 Adult Softball 2,128 806 806 (1,322) (1,322) Baseball (American Legion, 331 211 211 211 211 VFW & Polecats) Baseball (Youth Program) 1,708 502 502 (474) (474) 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.
