<br />Park Board <br />March 4, 2026 <br />pg. 2 <br /> <br /> <br />DRAFT MINUTES <br /> <br />• Any additional impervious surface may trigger water quality requirements. <br />• Any project that disturbs over an acre of soil requires an NPDES permit. <br />• Staff should review any proposed tree removals. <br />• This general area has been used by Centennial Soccer Club for practices in the <br />spring and summer, and Centennial football in the fall. <br />• There are approximately 128 parking spaces. Need to verify whether additional <br />parking is needed for a fifth ball field. City ordinances require hard surfacing such <br />as asphalt or concrete. Gravel is not permitted. <br />• Need a breakdown of estimated costs. <br />• What financial commitment does CLLL have, and what amount of funding is <br />needed from the City? <br />• An additional field would create additional impacts to the neighborhood. Area <br />residents should have an opportunity to comment on any expansion of Sunrise <br />Park. <br />If the Park Board is supportive, a formal site plan review would need to be prepared and <br />submitted. Planning Department staff would evaluate factors including required <br />setbacks, stormwater management, tree impacts and mitigation, parking requirements, <br />etc. <br />Pat Mahr, President of CLLL is in attendance. <br />Mr. Mahr discussed the strong working relationship with the City of Lino Lakes and <br />would like to discuss adding another field to Sunrise Park. He reviewed renovations <br />completed in 2025, including remodeling fields 1 & 2 for fastpitch use, new dugouts, <br />fencing, bases, and benches. Mr. Mahr stated they have a potential solution parking <br />issues but don't have a drawing yet. The proposed field would be located on the left- <br />field side of field 1. <br />Mr. Huelman asked whether the CLLL group plans to cover the project cost but would <br />want labor assistance from the Parks Department. Mr. Mahr replied yes. <br />Mr. Gooder asked if any trees would need to be removed. Mr. Mahr replied no. <br />Mrs. Schmidt stated she is in favor of the additional field and noted that residents have <br />previously had concerns regarding parking. <br />Mr. Gooder discussed how the CLLL helps clean up the park in fall and spring. <br />Mrs. Cutts is also in favor of the additional field. <br />Mrs. Mouser is concerned that the proposed field location seems to have flooding <br />issues. <br />Page 3 of 8
