Lino Lakes Public Services Department 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55014 (651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 g8. September 27, 1999 TO: Park Board Members FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director SUBJECT: Behm's Century Farm Park Development Update At the July 12 City Council meeting, the Council approved selling 2.55 acres of city property in Behm's Century Farm Park. The proceeds are to be used for development of the remaining park land (6 acres). Mr. Uhde has agreed to provide the following scope of work: • Clearing and grubbing all areas for bike paths and active play areas and removing storm damaged trees and groundfall. • Install all necessary silt fence and erosion control. • Perform park grading including grading for trails, play area, and drainage. • Tillage of existing soils in all open areas to prepare for seeding. • Installation of trails including 4" sub -base. The estimated project costs of the above listed items is approximately $52,000. Mr. Uhde has agreed to provide a summary of development costs. If total development costs are less than $75,000, Mr. Uhde will submit a cashiers check for the difference. I anticipate using the additional amount for irrigation, seeding, and paving trails. Attached is a grading plan for the park area. Please note the eastern trail is located within a 50' wide strip of park land leading to Mustang Lane. An additional trail connection is also located in the northeastern portion of the park which lines up with the trail connection to the 5th Addition. Note the area inside the trail loop will be leveled and prepared for seeding. Areas outside the trail loop will be kept in its natural state. I anticipate keeping the southeastern portion of the park more of a natural area which may include prairie grass, etc. The Rice Creek Watershed District approved the project including realigning the drainage ditch on September 22. I anticipate grading activity to begin very soon. Playground installation is scheduled for Saturday, October 23, at 9am. Flanagan Sales (Little Tikes) was selected as the vendor. We have about a dozen residents who have expressed an interest in assisting the city in installing the playground equipment. RD:sw sw /parkbrd/Behm's Century Farm Park Development Update.doc
