Dan is communicating with Decision Resources on the timing of the survey. Marty included two samples of recent surveys done by Decision Resources . One was for the City of Fridley and the other was Shoreview. Marty asked the board members to start thinking about their survey questions, write them down and get them to the Park and Recreation Department . Marty read a few of the ideas he came up with when he started thinking about the survey. Park Board members had questions about the number of departments that would be included in the survey. Mayor Landers said he was not sure but he knew Solid Waste, Park and Recreation and maybe Public works would be included. The members had concerns about the length of the survey with the other departments participating and if people would respond if there were too many questions . Members also had questions on how the results were compiled, and if they were done geographically. They questioned how the phone survey would work, and the cost of doing the survey After lengthy discussion on the workings of putting a survey together George stated he thought the Park Board should meet with Decision Resources because they were the ones that would be able to answer these framework questions . 1 City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting �., April 1, 1996 Trails Committee Update: Marty reported the trails committee will go to the council work-session on April 3 , and to the council meeting on April 8 for approval .

Betty Piper volunteered to be the liaison person for this park and will attend the April 11 meeting with Marty. n City Hall Park - Brian Flanagan has been working on a design for City Hall Park. Marty will bring it to the next Park Board meeting so members can see what is being looked at for this park. Marty said he is looking for residents to work on the planning of this park. Rice Lake Estates - Marty reminded the members that $2 , 500 had been approved for the master planning, of this park, at the last Park Board meeting.

Marty will take the agreement to City Administrator, Randy Schumacher. Ken asked about the two lots in the area. Marty said legislation was passed last year and he thinks the lots meet the criteria for a fill exemption. He is was working with the Corp. of Engineers on this issue and will have to check to see the status . He said a new resident had moved in next door to the lots and they may be interested in purchasing the lot (s) . 2 City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting April 1, 1996 Brandywood Boardwalk - After the rinks were done Mike Hoffman went in and graded where the boardwalk would go in off of Velvet Leaf Lane, however, because of the spring thaw it has been too wet to get into the area to put the footings in. Will try to get in there after it dries up and it should not be too hard to finish. George said the neighborhood expressed interest in working on this . Playground Repairs - Dave Lichtshiedl has been working on retrofitting the playgound equipment the best he can. Marty said he is doing a very good job on what can be repaired.

Marty said the ice storm caused a lot of damage to the trees in the park. Recreation Update: Marty discussed the Warminghouse Season Summary that Barry Bernstein prepared for the Park Board Members . Pam asked why the closed day figures varied from park to park. Marty explained Barry' s policy on cold weather days . He told members the warminghouse shelter is always opened but would close 1 to 2 hours later. Barry is concerned about the kids that are home alone and walk to the rinks only to find that they are closed. It is better to have them go inside to get warm than immediately return home on extremely cold days . Joe asked about the numbers at Country Lakes Park. George said this was a very bad winter for lake ice. Marty said the volleyball and basketball leagues have finished and soccer has begun. He went on to say we are taking registrations for summer adult and youth programs .

I'm Pat Huelman, my address is 570 Lonesome Pine Trail. I have been asked to speak on behalf of a large group of Park Grove residents. We have signatures representing 24 addresses on a the letter that you shaould have received from Marty. Many of these homeowners are here tonight. I don't normally read a statement, but tonight I want to make sure my points are accurate, clear, and as brief as possible. I would like to begin by saying we are not opposed to a neighborhood park. In fact we all look forward to using this park with our children and meeting our new neighbors. We all built homes in this area knowing that someday this would be a "neighborhood park". However, we were also told that we would have a voice in what went into the park and where things would be located, and were specifically told that those most adversely affected by the park would be given a significant voice. Our biggest complaint has the been the process that has been used to this point. It has caused headaches and stomachaches for alot of people -- and I suspect Marty has had more than his fair share as well. The process and ^ end product have end up pitting neighbors and neighborhoods against one another. Point 1. I think the best way to get at the heart of our concerns is to contrast the original plan with the current concept plan. There were some huge shifts that are significantly changing the nature of the park and the impact on our neighborhood. Original schematic plan A defined primary entry and parking off a major arterial road A central core with up to five equal entry points Activities that would attract vehicles were close to parking Open area reserved for larger activities, informal ball field & general recreation area New concept plan Almost all of the major activities were moved to the north and west area. And if that wasn't enough At last meeting discussion of picnic shelter on the northwest corner and At meeting before that there was even mention of moving the skating to the pond A. It's just too much. It appears they are trying to concentrated all of the facilities and activities of a ten acre park, serving three or more subdivisions, into a couple of acres. It's suppose to be a neighborhood park and everyone has continually expressed their interest in an natural park setting. You have a copy of the previous letter from many in our neighborhood sent with no response. Granted it is much shorter and more general, but it includes the same points that we are bringing to you tonight. B. This concentration in essence makes the Lonesome Pine Trail cul-de-sac, the primary entry point to the park. I don't think this is what people had in mind when they moved into this neighborhood. And I don't think it was designed to serve as the main entrance to this park. C. In addition, several of the proposed facilities and activities will attract vehicular traffic. This end of the park has no infrastructure to safely handle this type of traffic and parking. This point has been made repeatedly a previous meetings, again with no response. In fact, just as we had feared, at our last meeting we were surprised by a proposal for an extensive ball field setup including large backstop with wings and benches protected with fences. This doesn't sound like sandlot ball. It will surely draw youth teams for practices and perhaps even games. There also was a proposal for a picnic shelter. While this might be nice for occasional neighborhood use, but it will undoubtedly bring unwanted traffic, parking, loitering and litter. The bottom line is simple. The "load" of the park must be spread out, especially placing destination facilities where there are appropriate accommodations to safely handle traffic and parking Point 2. Now lets focus on what's going into the park. There appears to be little attention being given to the Neighborhood Park Survey Results. The highest priorities after the playground equipment and open play space is a nature walk and benches. Besides that, the path would just seem the logical first step. It connects the neighborhoods and makes it possible to move on wheels which seems to a very popular mode of transit in this area. It would seem to be especially important for parents with strollers and individuals with disabilities. Also note that the survey ranked informal ball field, defined as a grass field .-� with a backstop at number 12 and the picnic shelter was 9th. Tonight we are here to specifically request that you respond to our concerns and entertain the following recommendations. 1. Proceed with the playground equipment purchase and location, provided that you can assure us: a. that if a ball field goes in it is and will remain informal -- a multipurpose grass field with a backstop, and b. the other facilities currently planned for this area will be redistributed throughout the remainder of the park, especially the picnic shelter. In our letter you will see our recommendation for a location on the southern edge of the park to ensure easier access to future parking, provide more even distribution of traffic into and through the park, and provide a more protected and natural setting. It even could be combined with the nature overlook gazebo to maximize funds and donations. '-` 2. Make the trail the top priority after the playground equipment. It would be nice to do it such a way as to provide some nature features, with occasional benches or tables. 3. And last but not least, we look forward to working with you and the other neighborhoods to come up with a park that is equitable and one that we can all feel good about. We just can't have any more surprises. It has just causes too much stress and ill will Thank-you for your time and consideration. AGENDA ITEM STAFF ORIGINATOR: Marty Asleson DATE: April 30, 1996 TOPIC: Birchwood Acres Playground BACKGROUND The City Council approved the Park Boards recommendation to fund park development in the Birchwood Acres neighborhood. Funding was limited to $15,000. An initial meeting was scheduled with the neighborhood last year to review the master plan developed for the park. Subsequent to this meeting, changes were made to this plan based on neighborhood input. This plan was taken back to the neighborhood and met with acceptance. Both of these meetings were advertized. The plan was approved by the Park Board and the city council. Flyers were sent out by the neighborhood group as well, notifying of the meetings. The neighborhood also took it on there own to survey the needs. The top priority was play equipment followed by the trail. Although this was not a formal survey done by the city, the play equipment still tended to be the predominant need as herd by staff at the meetings. The neighborhood was invited to a meeting on April 11, to discuss play equipment design. Please find attached a copy of the design and cost estimates for the project. Cost is based on the assumption the neighborhood will help assemble the structure. Concerns for the play equipment location in relationship to the pond was given by residents. It was suggested to reverse the basketball court and the play structure on the master-plan. This does not change the concerns of the original master-planning process. I see no reason why we shouldn't do this. I have enclosed a copy of the pond elevations in this report. Although the pond is about 12 feet deep, it was designed with an 8:1 slope and drops off some distance from the edge. Furthermore, by switching the play structure with the basketball court, the play structure is located basically in front of wetland. At the request of the neighborhood, we staked out the playground equipment basketball court and painted in the trail location. We n are to meet again May 2nd at 6:30 in the park to look at this. The neighborhood has raised some funds that they wish to match r with the friends of the parks to accomplish more with the allocated dollars. Possible additions are an additional swing bay, backhoe diggers, benches, picnic tables, and a small backstop for the informal ball field. OPTIONS 1. Approve the playground plan with contingencies placed on the additions until monies are received into the Friends of the Parks account. 2 . Refer back to staff for further consideration.

MEMORANDUM Date: April 16, 1996 Frcm: Marty Asleson To: Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Board Subject: ISTEA Grant Please find attached a copy of the preliminary ISTEA grant that I recently submitted to the DNR for a matching trail grant. The grant project area is highlighted on the accompanying map. Since it was undecided exactly where the new roads were to be engineered into the school, so we simply drew in a comparable scenario for grant purposes. I discussed this grant with John McClellan, Superintendent of Centennial schools. We would use their dollars for school walking trails on Elm Street as well as our investment in the trails in the Senior Cottages and the church trail dedication. I have also discussed this grant with Akoka County Parks as naming them a cooperator in that we may be able to run this trail into the regional park if the dollars work out right.

Trail Project Description Please describe your project briefly (if you include a map, .make sure it is reproducible on an ordinary copying machine). This trail would serve as a connection into the Anoka County.Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park for residents and school children from the new Centennial Middle School that will be constructed on Elm Street in 1996/97. The trail would act as a link for residents coming from Blaine and would allow all trail users a safe way to travel to the new school site and the Regional Park. The crossing on Lake Drive will have a signal to stop traffic. The connection into the Regional Park will bring people over a walking bridge that already exists in the Regional Park. The trail will terminate at an existing trail head/canoe launch area. The total trail length is 9100 feet. n Primary users of your project Estimated date of completion?

This was a land acquisition grant for the A-3 Athletic Complex on Holly and County Road J. The grant could only be used for this site (it was not open-ended) . After the state review process we were denied this grant request. The new round of grants was due on May lst of 1996. Sometime into working on this grant I received a call from Audry Mularie from the DNR saying that the legislature did not approve dollars for 1996, and that the grant deadline was being extended to March 1st of 1997 . Audry did inform me at that time that the were going to recommend to the state legislature that our 1995 grant be funded. This grant was approved at the legislative hearing on April 24th. The original grant instructions did not indicate a cap on the amount of award, but it turns out it was $50, 000 . As you might recall, we were only allowed and instructed to apply for 50% of the appraised value of this land. The value was $250, 000 according to the appraisal that was done. Thus our original grant request was $125, 000-match. At any rate, we did receive the $50, 000 that must be used before the end of 1997. Better than nothing, and perhaps this will be"seed-money" for this acquisition project. I have included a copy of the letter from Audry Mularie on the grant notification. Note the an Environmental Assessment Statement was required within 30 days of April 12th. I finished this report and mailed it today.

I hope everything is in order. Please let me know if you need anything else. Thank you. Sincerely, Marty Asleson Parks, Recreation and Forestry Coordinator City of Lino Lakes PARK,RECREATION,FORESTRY,AND RECYCLING DEPARTMENTS 7204 LAKE DRIVE,LINO LAKES,MINNESOTA 55014 ;; (612)464-5562 r-� Environmental Assessment Statement A-3 Athletic Complex City of Lino Lakes April 23, 1996 L Description of the Environment and the Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Project. A. Present Land Use: The land identified by A-3 Athletic Complex in our City Comprehensive Plan is 80 acres bounded by County Road J and Holly Drive on the south and central side of Lino Lakes. The subject site is currently zoned R, Rural,by the City of Lino Lakes zoning map. The present use is agricultural. There is no businesses or residential development in this area . There is approaching residential development to the south. The A-3 athletic complex site would be accessed off of County Road J and Holly Drive to the north. Since road improvements are presently occurring to the north to service development,the road will be adequate for the park access. Since this parcel is isolated from residential development at this time the establishment of an athletic complex in this area is a compatible use. B. Fish and Wildlife: The proposed A 3 athletic complex is not on, or adjacent to any national, state, or local wildlife management area, or natural area. There are no fish species on this site. The site is inhabited by migratory whitetail deer, and the usual indigenous small game and bird species. According to the"Natural Communities and Rare Species of Anoka County,Mimiesota"map by Barbara Delaney,plant ecologist and Al Epp, computer cartographer, there are no indicated species of rare plants and animals. Although the Blandings Turtle has been sited to the north/east and south and west of this site,no sightings have been reported in the immediate vicinity of the A-3 athletic complex. As with all development occurrences in areas with whitetail deer, populations tend to be moved around, and could possibly tend to maintain in this area even with athletic field development,particularly since there is still a fairly large amount of wild lands maintained to the south of this site in North Oaks. The athletic complex would serve as an open green space that when coupled with our trail corridors,would act as wildlife corridors as well. C. Vegetation: The land is currently planted as a hay crop. In the past the land has been planted in corn and peas. The dominant vegetation in the designated wetlands includes broad-leafed cattail and green bulrush, reed canary grass,green ash, aspen,willow, and red osier dogwood. The upland area includes golden rod, timothy and again,this year hay. There are no known endangered,threatened or otherwise of special concern vegetative species on this site. Major plant communities on this site can be described as upland,facultative wetland, and wetland. For the most part the facultative wetland acid wetland species are distributed around the perimeter of the site including the old Cedar Lake bed to the east. This is for the entire site except for a small isolated wetland area in the south and central part of the proposed facility. For the most part,there will be no disturbance of the wetland areas on the perimeter of this site, and possibly the pursuit of mitigation of the south-central wetland area if permits would be allowed. If no permits were allowed,then this area would have no vegetation removed either. All portions of the present upland areas would have the existing vegetation/crops removed for-site grading purposes. There would be no other impacts on this site. D. Water Resources: According to the wetland delineation done by Arlig Environmental Inc.,the wetlands are described by a numbered map. According to this map #1-1 through 1-9 PEMC with cattails and rushes surrounded by small wetland trees and reed canary grass;#2-1 through#2-32 PEMC and PEMA with some cattails and rushes surrounded by FACW trees and reed canary grass. Corn was near much of the east edge of this wetland;#3-1 through 3-6 disturbed area with sparse Smartweed; #4-lthrough#4-10 wetland edge in trees along side of the ditch and connects to #2;#5-1 through $5-7 isolate4d small wetland north of the property;#6-1 through #6-24 wetland on north end of site through green ash,willow, and red osier dogwood, and connecting to wetland#4.;#6-24 through#6-50 continues basically north from#6-24 to the ditch; stake#6-50 connects to the first or northern most stake on the west edge of Cedar Lake;# 7 and#8 wetlands are located in the middle of the corn field and form an L shaped area;Cedar Lake was delineated with wire stake flags. Please see wetland map. It should be noted that Cedar Lake was drawn down many years ago by residents living in this area. Cedar LAke is now a cattail marsh with nice restoration potential in the future. The only possible disturbance area that would be considered on this site is the L- shaped wetland in the middle of the site. We may wish to seek mitigation on this site. Drainage of this site would be facilitated in a fashion as to not disturb the present drainage patterns. Since much of this area will remain green space,there is a minimal if any increase in surface water runoff at this site. Since we will be maintaining this area for cultured grasses on the athletic fields we will be taking all precautions to ensure no impacts occur. We will prescribe our nutrient requirements based on soil tests and use slow release products. Buffer areas will be maintained on the fringes of the wetland as well r It is anticipated that we will either use a well for irrigation on this site or city water if and when it becomes available from the north. Back-flow prevention will be used at this site. E. Geology and Soils: There are no interesting,unique or fragile geologic formations on this site. The predominant soils on this site are shown as Hayden loam(non-hydric soils) on the SCS map for Anoka County. The areas near the wetlands are labeled as Lw (loamy wetland) on the SCS map. Much of the site is cultivated and therefore the soil profiles are disturbed. These soils support the type of facility the city wishes to build on this site. The site for the most part on the non-hydric soils is well drained,with a higher buffering and moisture holding capacities. F. Mineral Resources: There are no mineral deposits or peat deposits on this site. G. Air Quality and Noise: There will be the normal amount of noise associated with this athletic complex in relation to organized sport. Since the area is out of the urban service area there is no high density housing in this area. The building of the athletic complex will however result in much reduced amounts of noise in neighborhood r� park areas that are now being programmed due to the lack of facilities. Furthermore,the hours of noise are controlled by city ordinance. There is no anticipated air pollution from this facility. H. Historical and Archaeological Significance: There are no known historic or archaeological features on this site. We are awaiting further word from the Archaeological Society. The site is not to our knowledge registered or eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. L Transportation: Road construction to the north on 12a'Ave and Holly Drive is now being done to facilitate the development occurring in this area. It is at this time questionable whether the remaining road section to County Road J will be needed. In a traffic study done by the engineering firm of Short Elliot and Hendrickson, it was shown that traffic to and from the athletic complex is expected to add approximately 330 trips a day on Holly Drive. South of the athletic complex driveway,the project is expected to add nearly 1,000 trips a day. The athletic complex would add traffic directly to County Road J. Trips were estimated on heavy summer use of the athletic complex. The trips would be significantly less during the winter months. Since a good portion of the trips to the facility are via a county road the impacts to residential areas is minimal Again the construction of this facility would also alleviate traffic in our neighborhood parks w •-., that are now being,over-programmed do to the lack of a facility. There are no forms of mass transit that service this area at this time. We do have a trail system plans that will provide for bicycle, and walking access to the site. J. Energy and taxes: Since this land would belong to the public, it would be taken off of the tax rolls. As with the need to provide for public recreation needs a certain amount of land is removed from the tax rolls for the public good. This athletic complex is within the scope of our comprehensive plan and adopted by Metropolitan Council as such. IL Environmental Intrusions A Northern States Power Company easement bisects the site from the southwest to the northeast. It is not considered to cause material difficulties with the use of this site for athletic complex We have concept planned this area for the use of soccer fields. The complex property is not served with municipal water or sanitary sewer service at this time. AGENDA ITEM STAFF ORIGINATOR: Marty Asleson DATE: April 30, 1996 TOPIC: Trail Committee Resolution Update BACKGROUND Last year the Park and Recreation Board sent a resolution to the city council establishing a trail committee for the City of Lino Lakes. This resolution was past on November 2, 1995. We went to the city council on February 23rd with a list of trail committee recommendations. At this time the council wished to clarify a few issues in regards to the resolution before appointing trail committee members. Please find attached a copy of this resolution. The questions that needed to be clarified concerned the staggered lengths and terms of appointment and how the reporting system is to occur. The resolution reads "The committee shall consist of (5) members appointed by the city council for three-year terms on a colander basis except that the council may select members for a one or two year term on an initial basis in order to stagger the terms of the members. " It was suggested that the terms be 3 years and 2 years, or 2-2-1. I will let you decide and who should these people be? The other issue concerns who the committee would tender a report to in item 4. It may be better to have this committee tender a report to the Park and Recreation Board. OPTIONS 1. Set the staggered committee members at 3 years and 2 years, or other as the board sees fit. Have the committee report to the Park and Recreation Board. 2. Other options as per the Park and Recreation Boards wishes. 3 . refer back to staff for further consideration RECOMMENDATION option 1 r MEMORANDUM Date: February 23, 1996 From: Marty Asieson To: Dan Tesch Subject: Trails Committee The following list of people have indicated that they would like to serve on the new Trails Committee: George Lindy, Liaison to the Park and Recreation Board Laura Wolf Jody Budde Ted Blanson Brian Bourassa, out of town but said he would help.

OVUM Date: April 16, 1996 From: Marty Asleson To: Lino Lakes Park and Recreation Board Subject: Water Quality Report/Reshanau Lake Please find attached a copy of the report on the water quality of Reshanau Lake. Reshanau was one of the study lakes in the report prepared by Montegomery Watson for the Rice Creek Watershed District Board of Managers. It is interesting to note the trophic status of this lake (un- similar to other surrounding lakes) . The question of a quality recreation experience in relationship to swimming is brought forth in this report. r-. J tFEB 2 61996 RICE CN�:�. WATERSHED DISTRICT lUeeCreek rs' he Rice Creek Watershed District Report on 1995 Water Quality Monitoring February 1996 a /1 MONTGOMERY WATSON Section 4 Reshanau Lake Reshanau Lake is located in Anoka County southwest of the city of Lino Lakes. The lake has a surface area of 336 acres and a maximum depth of 16 feet. The tributary drainage area to the lake is 4.032 square miles(Figure 4-1). Land use in the drainage area is primarily a mixture of agricultural and single family residential. Residential areas are located around Reshanau Lake with the only immediate open space being a City owned Park on the southwest side of the lake. The MDNR ecological classification for Reshanau Lake is marginal fish-wildlife (MDNR 1978), a term used to denote a highly eutrophic lake containing substantial populations of carp and bullheads and extensive aquatic plant growth. The MDNR management classification for Reshanau Lake is periodic winterkill, indicating that management is designed to furnish a black crappie,bluegill, and largemouth bass fishery. An MDNR fishery survey in 1992 indicated above average numbers of black bullhead and carp,and average numbers of northern pike, yellow perch, and yellow bullhead,while white crappie,black crappie,and bluegill were below the local median abundance. Reconnaissance of the watershed showed two primary inflows to the lake. These two inflows are located on the south and east ends. The primary inflow ditch east of the lake is County Ditch 25. The lake outlet is located on the southwest side of the lake and discharges to Rice Lake. Inflow and outflow conditions were monitored at the locations shown on Figure 4-1. LAKE MONITORING The following sections present the results of the lake monitoring for individual water quality parameters. Table 4-1 presents the monitoring results and summary statistics.

During the 1995 growing season, surficial TP concentrations in Reshanau Lake ranged from 70 to 140 µg/l and averaged 110 µg/l (Figure ' 4-2). The peak TP concentrations do not occur until mid summer, after the annual die off of the dominant macrophyte species Potomogeton crispus (curly-leaved pondweed). For lakes in the Central Hardwoods Region, an average of 110 µg/l places Reshanau Lake in the worst 25% (MPCA 1990). LSecchi Disk Transparency Secchi disk transparency (SDT) is a measure of water clarity. During 1995, SDT in Reshanau Lake ranged from 0.3 to 1.5 meters and averaged 0.8 meters. An average SDT of 0.8 meters places Reshanau Lake in the worst 25% of lakes in the Central Hardwoods Region(MPCA 1990). A seasonal pattern was evident for SDT(Figure 4-3). The greatest transparency occurred in spring and the lowest in mid-summer. This pattern mirrored the observed chlorophyll-a concentrations and the observed total suspended solids concentrations (Figure 4-4). `I MONTGOMERY WATSON Page 42 �r Section 4 - Reshanau Lake Chlorophyll--a Chlorophyll-a is a chemical pigment common to all plants and is used as a measurement of algal abundance. Chlorophyll-a concentrations in Reshanau Lake ranged from 11 to 121 µg/1 and averaged 56 µg/1. This average places Reshanau Lake in the worst 25th percentile for lakes in the Central Hardwoods Region (MPCA 1990). The peak chlorophyll-a concentration was observed within two weeks after the die off of curly-leaved pondweed. This strongly suggests that the phosphorus in the lake becomes more available for algal uptake when the seasonal curly-leaved pondweed dies off. Algae blooms are generally considered obnoxious once chlorophyll-a concentrations exceed 30 to 40 µg/1. Therefore,the 1995 chlorophyll-a concentrations indicate that Reshanau Lake has a severe algal bloom problem. This is partly caused by the extremely high TP concentrations the lake experiences after the pondweed dies off. Total Suspended Solids Total suspended solids SS is a measure of the amount of organic or inorganic articles in water Pe (TSS) g g P - and is also a measure of water quality. Total suspended solids concentrations ranged from 1 to 18 mg/1 and averaged 10 mg/l. The seasonal pattern for TSS is almost identical to the chlorophyll-a pattern for 1995 (Figures 4-3 and 4-4) and also mirrors the SDT. The sampling date on 7/11/95 recorded the highest TSS reading of 18 mg/l, although at this time the chlorophyll--a concentration was only 48 µg/l. This high TSS may be due to the increase in organic particles in the lake due to ` the massive die off of curly-leaved pondweed at this time. The relationship between TSS and chlorophyll-a suggests that most of the water clarity problems are due to algae productivity in the lake rather than inorganic sediment. Temperature Monitored temperatures for Reshanau Lake are presented in Appendix B. Reshanau Lake is a moderately shallow lake with a maximum depth of 16 feet and a mean depth of 7.9 feet. Reshanau Lake is well-mixed vertically or polymictic. This is because temperature is almost the same throughout the water column and the lake does not experience thermal stratification: Lack of thermal stratification allows the lake to mix vertically throughout the growing season. The lake did experience a brief period of thermal stratification in June. This period coincides with the peak growth and density of curly-leaved pondweed. This plant grows dense enough that it does not allow any mixing of the lakes waters by wind action. Once the plant dies off in July, the lake MONTGOMERY WATSON Page 4 3 Section 4 - Reshanau Lake bottom waters are mixed readily with the entire water column. The surficial and bottom temperatures for Reshanau Lake are contained in Appendix B. Under different macrophyte conditions, Reshanau Lake would experience continual mixing. Dissolved Oxygen 1 Dissolved oxygen levels during the 1995 growing season showed oxygen levels at or above 5 mg/1 at the surface and 1 meter(Figure 4-5),but the DO level at the 2 meter interval periodically dropped Pe Y PPe below 4 mg/l particularly during the period of curly-leaved pondweed die off. A DO concentration of 5 mg/1 is generally considered the concentration below which warm water gamefish begin experiencing stress. The 1995 DO profiles show that the lake does experience periods of lower DO in the bottom waters, although-these waters are frequently mixed with the upper waters and DO is replenished. Lakes that mix continuously are called polymictic, meaning that the lake experiences frequent mixing. In 1995, Reshanau Lake was polymictic. This conclusion is supported by the observed DO and temperature profiles. -L Trophic Status Trophic State Indices (TSI) are indices comparing the biological productivity of lakes. These ' indices were developed by Carlson (1977) using TP, Secchi transparency, and chlorophyll-a data Table 4-2 presents the 1995 TSI for Reshanau Lake. TABLE 4-2 1995 TROPHIC STATUS INDICES FOR RESHANAU LAKE Parameter TSI Total Phosphorus 71 Secchi Transparency 63 Chlorophyll-a 70 Average 68 MONTGOMERY WATSON Page 4-4 Section 4 - Reshanau Lake According to Heiskary (1985), lakes with TSIs of 0 to 40 are oligotrophic, 41 to 50 are mesotrophic, 51 to 70 are eutrophic, and greater than 70 are hypereutrophic. According to this classification, Reshanau Lake is highly eutrophic. Eutrophic lakes have high nutrient content and ' high biological productivity. Tro hic State Indices can also be us ed sed to determine suitability for recreational uses. The MPCA (1990) classifies lakes as fully supporting swimming, partially supporting, or nonsupporting. A TSI of less than 60 indicates a lake fully supporting swimming. Reshanau Lake has a TSI of 68 and would be classified as nonsupporting swimming. INFLOW/OUTFLOW CONDITIONS Inflow water quality conditions were monitored at RL-1 and RL-2 as shown in Figure 4-1. Inflow RL-2 drains the largest portion of the watershed(2,090 acres)while RL-1 drain smaller residential portions of the watershed of 512 acres, respectively. Table 4-3 presents the inflow and outflow water quality data. uiflows for RL-1 and RL-2 were increasingly dependent on wet weather as the summer _ progressed. Site RL-2 with its larger drainage area had flow during all sampling times, although in August and September this flow was supplemented by well water from an adjacent well that was being developed. l - Total phosphorus concentrations in all of the inflows were almost always above the Metropolitan Council's guidelines of 100 µg/1 during the 1995 season except on the November 8th sampling date. The highest TP concentrations observed at site RL-1 generally corresponded with peak flow dates, and the flow-weighted mean concentration was higher than the arithmetic average concentration. This means that most of the pollutant load was contributed by larger storm events. The TSS concentrations were always below the 30 mg/1 guideline recommended by the Metropolitan Council. The DO in the inflows remained above 5 mg/l during sampling except during late July and August. These periods of low DO can be attributed to elevated stream temperatures and very low flow conditions. With higher temperatures, the ability of oxygen to dissolve in water decreases. Stream T site RL-2 was also under construction during the late summer months. A well was being drilled and developed during August and September. The groundwater was pumped overland into the 'MONTGOMERY WATSON Page 4b M■■A 0 Q )A7..xr` z m TABLE 4-3 D 19951NMOW/OUTMOW CONDITIONS RESHANAU LAKE INLETS RL-I,RL-2,AND RL-0• to O Z Flow Date Total Phosphorus Total Suspended Dissolved Oxygen Conductivity Temperature pH (µg/1) Solids (mg/I) (µmhos/cm) rcr) (s.u.)

This may account for the low DO conditions since groundwater typically has low DO. The low RL-2 DO concentrations did not appear to affect the lake DO levels(Figure 4-6). Outflow conditions were monitored at site RLrO (Figure 4-1). Table 4-3 presents the outflow conditions. Total phosphorus was greater than the 100 µg11 guideline for all sampling events J except during the late October and early November events. The TSS concentrations were lower J than the 30 mg/l guideline. CONCLUSIONS Reshanau Lake is highly eutrophic and does not support swimming (MPCA 1990). The lake is small and relatively shallow with a maximum depth of 16 feet. The lake is fully exposed to the Twind because it is oriented in a north-south direction. This fetch allows the lake to continually mix throughout the summer. The only component that interrupts the mixing is the extensive growth of curly-leaved pondweed in June. This plant grows early in spring to early-mid summer and then undergoes a massive die off. This die off can elevate the TP concentrations in a lake and promote the uncontrolled growth of algae in conjunction with high TP concentrations. This was particularly the case in Reshanau Lake in 1995. The TP and chlorophyll-a concentrations were very good until - the July 11 th sampling date. This date corresponds with the curly-leaved pondweed annual die off. After this date the chlorophyll-a numbers increased dramatically along with a drastic increase in TP concentration. A majority of the pollutant load is delivered by County Ditch 25 from the east represented by sampling site RL-2 since it has the largest flow and tributary drainage area. Flows from County Ditch 25 were generally at least five times higher than flows observed at the other location. Reshanau Lake is a severely degraded eutrophic lake and is largely a reflection of the large drainage area to the lake and shallow depth. Given these attributes, water quality in Reshanau Lake would not be expected to be better than that observed in 1995 unless a different aquatic plant community was established in the lake. General recommendations include the continued application of general District water quality rules and policies throughout the Reshanau Lake watershed and a complete aquatic macrophyte survey to determine the extent of the curly-leaved pondweed growth. Surveys should be conducted twice over a growing season, once during peak curly-leaved pondweed growth in June, and once in August to determine if any native plants become established after the annual die off.

This list inGiaded some 5deas they thought would be beneficial to area residents and youth alike. I sneke to the students at random and gained some insight as to what they would like to see in our city that would promote an attitude of community and help make the city more attractive to our area youth. Not all the students and staff lived within the city but agreed that these improvements would be very beneficial to all . Unlike the cities 20/20 vision program this was more of a straw pole and the following list is what was relayed to me by students and staff . 1 . A COMMUNITY CENTER There was overwhelming agreement that a community center should be constructed and that this community center should be fashioned n similar in structure to the Shoreview Community Center. Students relayed to me that this type of a building would give students as well as adults and younger children, a place to gather and meet. This structure was also sighted by students as a place that could be used by more that just Lino Lakes Residents. Staff members agreed and stated that the building could possibly have an impact on criminal activity in the area by allowing parks and rec to base their programs from the center and include police in some of the athletic programs. 2. MORE ACCESS TO AREA LAKES Students and staff alike agreed that the area lakes are not as accessable to the general public as they would like them to be. Several students stated that it would be nice to have a place to rent a canoe or a fishing boat so as to envoy the lakes. Staff members also stated that they thought that it . would. be nice to have a fishing peer system on Centerville Lake or to allow private individuals to cater to fishing and sports persons. 3. COMPLETE THE LAKES AND TRAILS SYSTEMS Both students and staff agreed that the parks and rec system of trails is very extensive, it does not seem to allow for the travel of bicycles thruout the city and some areas are not freely accessable. Citizens feel that the system currently in place at Bunker Hill-s Park is. a working model of how-the Lino Lakes System should be modeled. 4. GO KART AND MINIATURE GOLF APf2- 19-9Ei 1U : fd� FRUM:UhNitnNNIHL JR HIUH lU:tb12lt=IYJ1OtJL ti Although more popular with students, the students thought that allowing private industry to come to Lino Lakes and allow such amusement as go kart racing and miniature golf would be popular in our area. 5. TRAIL SYSTEM FOR ALL TERRAIN VEHICLES Many of the students relayed to me that their families t_ur•Penti yr have ATV' s, mini bikes, or small motorcycles that there is currently no place to ride. Students feel that this Weald lie ci great asset to the city. 6. HORSE BACK RIDING TRAIL SYSTEM Again the syetem in place at Bunker Bills was mentioned by several staff and students. All agreed that this would he ve£•y beneticial to the city and could be modeled after the Bunker Hills Program. Thee were several of the most mentioned items brought to my attention in my conversations with youth and ptatt at the lwniPP high level . Lino Lakes currently has somewhere in the area of 815 .� students attending Centennial Junior High SQhQQI ;iilri approximately 400 area students attend the senior high. While this random survey of students and stair is not, eclantific Gr' structured, I believe that the wants and needs were relayed to me in good faith.
