PARR BOARD MEETING
JUNE 1, 1992
Old Business:
COMPREHENSIVE PARK PLAN - Marty Asleson referred the board to
information contained in their packets and explained that the
Comprehensive Plan has been reviewed by Springstead and Associates,
the city financial advisors. They suggested several sources for
funding the plan such as bonds, referendums, etc. Marty reminded
the board that these suggestions and figures from Springstead are
to be considered planning tools in order to get through the plan.
The City Council has suggested that a public hearing be held at
Park Board level rather than at the City Council.
The date for a public hearing to present the Comprehensive Park and
Recreation Plan and Development Guide is scheduled for Wednesday
night, July 1, at 6: 30 pm in the council chambers. The official
notice will be published for the first time in the Quad Community
Press on June 16th.
Brian Bourassa questioned the figures used for phase I. Marty
Asleson explained that part of adopting the plan would include
funding alternatives. He (Marty) says the public hearing will
include an organized presentation of the Comprehensive Plan. The
public hearing will be used to "test the waters", to get reaction
and comments from residents of the City.
There was no further discussion.
New Business:
THE COTTAGE HOMESTEADS OF WILLOW PONDS. - George Lindy asked Mr.
Michael Saxton, the representative of Cottage Homesteads of
America, Inc. to make his presentation now. Mr. Saxton was
scheduled to appear this evening under new business. His company is
in the process of planning a development of condominiums for
seniors over 55. This senior housing project would house 90 rental
units, and be located between I35 on the north and Elm Street on
the south, just west of St. Joseph's Church. Mr. Saxton explained
that the plan is to keep this housing affordable. Priority renting
would be given to Lino Lakes residents. There will be 1512 foot
activity room in this project. Rent here will be $480 month for a
one bedroom unit and $560 per month for two bedroom units. This
includes utilities and a garage.
Marty Asleson noted that Sunrise Park is the dedicated park for
this area. Mr. Saxton explained that the development will have a
five foot bituminous walking trail along the front of the entire
project parallel to Elm Street. The company has already submitted
the site plan, landscaping plan, and engineering plan to the City
2
PARR BOARD MEETING

together with the zoning application and processing fee, and feels
that the City Council is looking favorably on this project.
Mr. Saxton asked that the Park Board waive the park dedication fee
and pointed out that the developer could pay for the bituminous
cover over the walkway thereby fulfilling a park dedication. He
feels that this would help in keeping this housing as affordable as
possible. Brian Bourassa asked Mr. Saxton if he knew what the cost
of the bituminous walkway would be. Usually the city does the
bituminous paving on walkways, maybe the cost of the paving could
help to balance out the park dedication cost. Mr. Saxton didn't
have the figures at this time. Ray Johnson questioned whether Mr.
Saxton felt a recreational area for seniors wasn't necessary. He
thinks that the age group of 55 doesn't fit into the senior
category and recreational areas should be provided for this group.
They will be using our parks a lot, why shouldn't they pay? Mr.
Johnson also expressed that he thinks the cash dedication figure of
around $21, 000. is not a whole lot of money for a project this
size. Marty Asleson mentioned to Mr. Saxton that he may want to
consider some open space activity area for visiting grandchildren
and exercising, etc.
Ray Johnson also expressed that there is an Ordinance regarding
dedicated park funds for each development, and what Mr. Saxton is
really asking is that an Ordinance be waived. George Lindy
commented that if we should waive the fee, then it will have to
come out of the Comprehensive Plan pool of resources.
At this time, Mr. Gary Uhde, who had been in the audience,
approached the Board. He explained that he has no connection with
this project and just met Mr. Saxton this evening. He pointed out
that he and Council Person Andy Neal have been researching senior
housing possibilities for over a year now. There has been an
indication from the Council that the City has a need for housing
such as this. Mr. Uhde thinks the City can benefit from this
project and suggested that maybe there is room for negotiation
here. Ray Johnson commented that if we don't have the funds we
can't do the projects. Ken Johnson thinks there is a real need for
some activity areas here such as tennis courts, horseshoes,
volleyball and somehow we have to be compensated.
Mr. Saxton would like to start this project this summer, depending
upon approval. He would like to get final approval within the next
45 to 60 days and would be looking for occupancy in the early
winter months.
The park board was polled and all members were opposed to waiving
the park dedication fees. Neither Ken Johnson or Ray Johnson, two
3
PARR BOARD MEETING
JUNE 1, 1992
members who have been on the board the longest, can recall ever
having waived park dedication fees. Marty Asleson explained that
because this is an Ordinance we are talking about, the City Council
has the final say so.
MOTION: Ray Johnson made a motion to recommend to the City Council
that the Park Board does not waive the park dedication fee for the
Roger Derrick/Cottage Homestead project. The motion was seconded by
Candi Toffoli. All were in favor. Motion carried.
Old Business:
PARK LAND /ACCESS ISSUE - Marty Asleson referred the board to plate
N-14 in the Comprehensive Plan. He explained that according to the
plan we need to acquire a piece of property here. The piece we have
been looking at is located in the Rice Creek Regional area near
Baldwin Lake, just north of White Pine Road. A piece of property
here would access the Regional Park. Previously we were interested
in parcels of property along Town Road that is maintained by the
County. But it was sold, as was all the property along there. Mr.
Asleson has talked with several property owners in this area who
don't want to split a small portion of their property off, or they
want a very high price. The next step would be to see if there
would be a way to purchase a piece inside the Regional Park. He
asked if the Park Board thinks we should pursue the possibility of
leasing from the County, as we still need a park in this here. We
are looking for an open area that would lend itself to more passive
type recreation.
A discussion followed whereby it was decided that Marty Asleson
would look into leasing land from the County. He reported that this
has been done in Circle Pines and has worked out well.
LOCAL PARKS AND REC UPDATE - Marty Asleson reported on the current
status of the trails in Pineridge and Birchwood Acres developments.
There is a drastic need for trails to get kids to the new Rice Lake
School. Regarding Black Duck Estates, the developer, Eibensteiner
has decided to move the trail from the platted lots to along the
road right-of-way. Mr. Asleson also reported on the new Rice Lake
School field. The grass is in and it's looking real good. We hope
to be using it by the end of summer.
GOLF COURSE INFORMATION - Marty Asleson referred the board to the
information he supplied them in their packets concerning research
he has done on golf courses and the City getting involved in
construction of one. This golf course could cost several million
dollars. A feasibility study would cost approximately $12000. to
,.� $18000. depending on whether the City owned the land or not.

PARR BOARD MEETING
JUNE 1, 1992
John Bauman feels that we need a way to finance the Parks and
Recreation Department and if not a golf course, then something
else. He wondered if Al Robinson would be interested in having the
City get involved in his golf course project. Marty Asleson will
get in touch with Al Robinson regarding this suggestion. He (Marty)
commented that there are still a few different options if we want
to pursue the idea.
RECREATION IN LEISURE SERVICES - Marty Asleson referred to the
packet material he sent regarding a Recreation Advisory Board. He
presented a draft resolution that he will ask the City Council to
adopt. The resolution concerns a Recreation Advisory Board made up
of approximately 8 to 10 citizens representing various aspects in
the community, such as senior citizens, someone who has served on
the comprehensive park plan committee, disabled/handicapped and
others.
All the board members agreed that this is a good idea. They think
that a group representing the youth should be separate from this
board, and suggested Barry Bernstein, Recreation Program Supervisor
as a liaison. We will advertise for these representatives in the
City Newsletter, Cable and other sources. The board needs to set
up a criteria for selecting a committee. Marty will set up
guidelines and criteria from a staff level. He will pursue the
resolution at Council level. This will be discussed further at a
future meeting.
RECREATION UPDATE - Barry Bernstein, Recreation Program Supervisor,
gave an update of the upcoming summer programs. He reported that
registration for summer youth programs has been going very well.
The most popular offering has been t-ball, we have had to add
another session. Golf and tennis lessons are going very well, and
he plans on offering adult open volleyball at the sand volleyball
courts at Sunrise Park. Mr. Bernstein asked the board if they had
any comments or suggestions on the programs, and to get in touch
with him if wanted to discuss the program offerings.
Other New Business -
LINO DAYS - Marty Asleson talked about the Lino Days celebration
coming up on Saturday, August 15th. So far committee members are
working on plans for a 5 mile foot race around Rondeau Lake. Barry
Bernstein will try to plan his season end softball tournaments for
the same week-end so that people can get involved in some ballgame
spectator fun. Ray Johnson is Chairman from the Lions Club and
reported that the Lions Club has plans for a Pedal Power Tractor
Pull and also expect the Wellness Health Van to be on hand.

PARR BOARD MEETING
JUNE 1, 1992
Ray Johnson mentioned a few issues that are of concern to him. One
is the amount of trash and rubbish he sees around the City either
during new home construction or left behind when a builder
completes a project. He wants to recommend to the Council that they
have the Community Service Officer enforce our trash Ordinance in
that respect.
Another issue that was of concern to Mr. Johnson is the placement
of drain pipe above the grade in the Wenzel Farms development.
Brian Bourassa explained that the project was laid out this way.
Ray Johnson says he wants assurance that there will be no drainage
problems in the Wenzel Farms area. Marty Asleson will check into
it.
Mr. Johnson also showed some concern that the city trails are not
marked with signs yet. Marty Asleson explained that the signs are
ready, but have not had enough time to get them up. He'll check
into it.
Ken Johnson asked Marty to check into the acquisition of the land
adjacent to Lino Park. This was previously discussed by the park
board.
Marty Asleson talked about using donated dollars to run electric
and get lights for the skating rink at Lino Park, and also at
Country Lakes Park. This will go on the agenda for next meeting.
There was no other New Business.
ADJOURN - A motion was made and seconded to adjourn. All were in
favor. Meeting was adjourned at 9:25 pm.

Park Board
Comprehensive Park Plan
and Development Guide
Public Hearing
July 1, 1992
This special meeting of the Park Board was called to order at 6:30
PM at Lino Lakes City Hall by Board Chairman, George Lindy. The
purpose of this meeting was to conduct a public hearing regarding
the Comprehensive Park Plan and Development Guide.
Roll Call was taken, members in attendance were Brian Bourassa,
John Bauman, George Lindy, Ken Johnson and Jacquelyn Farm. Members
absent were Ray Johnson and Candi Toffoli. Staff in attendance were
Marty Asleson, Parks, Recreation and Forestry Coordinator, Don
Volk, Director of Public Works, Barry Bernstein, Recreation Program
Supervisor, and Carole Kohler, Parks, Recreation and Forestry
Secretary.
George Lindy noted that the purpose of the meeting is to look at
the draft Comprehensive Plan and record any comments. Concerns will
be recorded at this time, but may not necessarily be acted upon at
this time.
Marty Asleson addressed the audience and explained that the city is
growing at a high rate and in the past two and one half years there
have been a lot of questions and concerns about park facilities and
recreational areas for residents. Thus a committee was formed, and
a Comprehensive Park Plan was drafted. At this time Mr. Asleson
introduced Jeff Schoenbauer from Brauer and Associates. Mr.
Schoenbauer explained that the purpose of the Public Hearing is to
record comments from residents and reply in the hopes that the
issues are understood. He referred to the informational hand-outs
he distributed that explained the governing policies and the
purpose of a park planning system for the City of Lino Lakes. He
also showed slides of the linear trail system.
Mr. Schoenbauer concluded his presentation at 7:40 PM. At that
time, George Lindy asked for comments from the audience. Mr. Ron
Birch, a resident of White Bear Lake, but the owner of property in
the Southeast corner of the City, had some questions. He asked if
it wasn't important that the community and the builder work
together, or is the plan to have the committee dictate the trend
for the City?. Jeff Schoenbauer replied that the intent of the plan
is to define the need for a park in particular neighborhoods, and
seek citizen input. The idea is to serve the community, "within
certain parameters, of course. " Mr. Birch referred to Marty
Asleson's opening statement, that this plan is "dynamic in nature,
and not cut in stone. " , he (Mr. Birch) hopes that we stick with
that, and also hopes the Council is receptive to neighborhood
1

input. Jeff Schoenbauer replied that the planning process is to be
followed by the Park Board as well as staff.
Diane Aras, 6450 Baldwin Lake Road addressed the board. She and her
husband own 10 and 1/4 acres on Baldwin Lake Road, just north of
the south entrance into the regional park. This piece of property
has been of interest to the Park Board as it is property that the
comprehensive study shows should be acquired for future park
development. Staff had previously approached the Aras' regarding
the purchase of two plus acres here. Mrs. Aras wanted it to be a
matter of record that she inform the board that they expect to be
developing this property within the next year or so, and if the
City plans on purchasing, they should be doing so soon.
Don Volk addressed those residents at home who would be viewing
this Public Hearing on cable tonight. He suggested that if any
resident has comments to please call either him or Marty Asleson at
City Hall, or send their written comments in to either of them. He
noted that this is an ever changing community and therefore an ever
changing plan, but with this plan the City has a legitimate
document to work from.
There were no other comments. John Bauman made a motion to close
the Public Hearing. It was seconded by Jacquelyn Farm. The Public
Hearing was closed at 7:50 PM.
The special meeting was adjourned at 7:50 PM.

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO THE LINO LAKES PARRS AND RECREATION
BOARD: REPRESENTATION IN LEISURE SERVICES
By:
Marty Asleson
Recreation over the years has been looked at differently through
history. To a great extent, the organized park and recreation
movement evolved out of society's need to socialize its youth in
the 19th century, particularly the youth of immigrants. Programming
at this time was looked at as they should provide a needed balance
between active and passive forms of expression. This balance
approach was very value-oriented. The focus of this approach was on
the activity and not the individual, and the belief was that action
activities were more valuable than others. The merging of Parks
movement and the Recreation movement came to be in 1965, and had
a tremendous impact on the recreation programming philosophy. The
critical program issue became one of determining which activities
were appropriate for which environments. Park professionals turned
their attention at this time, to carrying capacity and design of
recreation spaces. (balance)
Recently, because of the drastic change that many of us have
experienced through the 60's and 701s, a humanistic programming
approach has now been developed. We now no longer look at offering
up a smorgasbord of recreational programs that we feel as
^ professionals are important. The recreation interests and behaviors
of the public should not be programmed independent of the client's
need for other services. In other words, a holistic approach to
recreation "programming" and the real intent and aim is to provide
services that might address the intrinsic needs of the residents
who live here. This means something different to everybody. What it
does mean is that the parks and recreation departments that used to
program only those activities and services that were "acceptable"
to the larger society, have to look at things differently now
because many different groups of people were excluded. It is
imperative that we now develop program strategies that allow it to
work with all segments of the population, adults and children of
all ages, as well as the disabled. We have a variety of life
styles. We have life long learning and specialization. The quality
of recreation experience is what is now important.
How do we address our recreation needs in Lino Lakes? Now that we
have provided an "offering" for the first year, it is time to
address and empower the residents of Lino Lakes to recreate. The
way that this is most oftenly done is through a Park and Recreation
Board, (again a balance between the program and the open spaces)
using the holistic approach. The suggestion, and the method that
works very well in most situations today is that of forming an
advisory committee with liaison to the Park and Recreation Board.
A fair representation of all of the members of the community should
be represented in the committee. I believe that possibly a youth
committee should be a separate group, if it can be formed.
According to the Lino Lakes Comprehensive Parks and Recreation
Plan, the goal of our recreation programs is to provide the
opportunity for all residents to participate in recreational
activities through the implementation of well-organized, effective
and interesting recreational programs. We can only accomplish this
through representation and empowerment. Therefore, the following
resolution is presented to the Park and Recreation Board for
approval to be forwarded to the City Council to be adopted as the
accepted means to accomplish citizen input in recreation.
According to the objectives as set forth in the Lino Lakes Parks
and Recreation Comprehensive Plan;
WHEREAS, it shall be an objective of the City of Lino Lakes to
provide recreational programs which adequately address the
recreational desires of all segments of the community including
children, teens, adults, elderly, and the handicapped.
WHEREAS, it shall further be an objective of the City to support
and encourage a wide diversity of recreational interests within the
community.
WHEREAS, it shall further be an objective of the City to
administer programs on a fair and equitable basis to ensure all
individuals and groups receive adequate representation and
opportunity.
WHEREAS, it shall be a policy to identify principals and standards
that apply uniformly to all programs, sites, and facilities. The
set of principals and standards shall:
a. Identify the program objectives and facility needs for
specific activities.
b. Provide for all levels of ability.
C. Develop programs which effectively meet program
objectives.
d. Ensure that adequate funding, staff and facilities are
available to carry-out specific programs.
e. Undertake a seasonal review of the effectiveness of
specific programs and activities. (Programs which are not
effective should be eliminated. )
WHEREAS, Leadership and Code of Conduct guidelines relating to
each activity group and program shall be developed for the purpose
of defining acceptable and appropriate actions and behavior of
individuals responsible for overseeing specific programs and
activities.
AIIN WHEREAS, People activities - not functional processes - shall be
developed: meaning that the program should be developed to fit the
needs of the people versus the people fitting into a predetermined
program.
WHEREAS, An ongoing communication/information system shall be
established between all groups for the purpose of broadening
recreational interests. A variety of communication formats shall be
used to inform the public of the programs, functions, facilities,
offered all members of the partnership.
WHEREAS, A program review board consisting of program
administrators shall be established to review and evaluate program
strengths and weaknesses and make recommendations for improvements.
WHEREAS, Income from fees and charges shall be used to support the
continuance and development of recreation programs. Programs shall
strive to be cost effective and self supporting where possible.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of Lino Lakes hereby
establish a Recreation Advisory Committee to the Parks and
Recreation Board.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a member of this committee shall be
a liaison to, and a member of the Parks and Recreation Board.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that all interests and groups shall be
represented on this Advisory Committee, and that quite possibly,
certain sub committees may operate off of this Advisory Committee.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this subcommittee shall meet one time
per month on a regular basis.

How would this arena fit into Sunrise Park
The City Attorney will be contacted for any legal
stipulations .
John Bauman suggested the possibility of instilling a 99 year
lease.
Don Volk stated that the main focus of the committee for now
is getting land to construct the facility and getting funding
for the project . Those are the two key issues for now.
REVIEW OF PARK DEDICATION PROPOSAL FOR PINE RIDGE RICK
CARLSON
Rick Carlson is proposing construction of single-family homes
in two phases . Phase 1 consists of 60 lots . Phase 2 is a 50
acre parcel.
A park proposal was submitted to the board. Carlson proposed
a park consisting of 7 . 86 acres including a pond. Total land
area is 5 acres. A trail looping around the park would also
be included. The park board discussed this proposal and
,,..� decided that it has been the policy of the park board not to
accept water as part of the developer' s park dedication.
Don Volk presented the board with options. They are as
follows:
1 . Accept dedication as presented by developer.
2. Move pond, in existing park area, as far west and
north as possible. The remaining block of land
would be approximately 5 acres , and would be graded
to a minimum of 3' above the 100 year flood
elevation. Remaining dedication in cash.
A. Also accept four lot minimum, from the Acorn
property, abutting the Pine Ridge park land.
Remaining dedication in cash.
3 . Accept cash for entire Pine Ridge Subd.
Approximately $75, 600. 00
A. Also accept cash for entire Acorn property.
Approximately $57 , 600. 00
B . Purchase approximately 20 acre parcel existing
south of Acorn property. This would adequately
serve the park needs of both subdivisions .
The board discussed the 20 acre parcel to the south of Rick
Carlson. Don Volk stated that only half of the parcel is
buildable, but the parcel would be convenient for Pine Ridge
Page 3

,March 5, 1990
,.� residents and the Montain Property. The property owner of
the 20 acre parcel has not been approached.
Don Volk stated that he would like to have access to four
lots in the south-west section of the Montain property
adjacent to Rick Carlson' s plat. The Montain parcel has not
been before the board at this time.
Ken Johnson asked if this plat has been discussed with the
Army Corp or the DNR. Don Volk explained to the board that
it has not been reviewed by the two agencies, and also
explained that the Montain/Acorn property has an easement for
a State Aid Road, a Collector Street going through the
parcel .
Rick Carlson said that he did approach the owners of the land
south of his parcel. The owners were not interested in
selling. It is used as farm land at the present time.
Candy Toffoli asked how many acres is Pine Ridge. Rick
Carlson explained that Pine Ridge is 87 acres, and out of
7. 86 acres of park 3. 3 acres is pond.
Ken Johnson, Bill Nissen, and John Bauman stressed that they
preferred option *2.
Don Volk stated that he did visit with Ray Johnson regarding
this plat. Ray also stressed that he does not want the pond
included as part of the park dedication.
The park board discussed the fact that they would like Rick
Carlson to bring the park up to grade before development of
phase 2 is started. Rick Carlson explained that he is
developing the first phase now -because utilities are
available at this parcel. Phase 2 does not have utilities
available at this time and the proposed park land is within
phase 2. He also explained that it would be very costly to
develop that park land when he is not certain that it will
even be developed at this point . He went on to say that if
utilities are installed within the next couple of years he
will be the one developing the land, if not, he may sell .
Rick Carlson proposed collecting 400/lot for phase 1, which
consists of 60 lots , which is $24, 000 . 00 .
Mr. Carlson also proposed the following: Phase 2 consists of
50 acres. The proposed park is 5 acres which meets the 100
park dedication requirement . When phase 2 is developed the
park dedication will be the 5 acre park. This will happen
whether Rick Carlson is the developer or someone else.
MOTION: Ken Johnson moved to recommend to the city council
consideration of the following options for park dedication at
Pine Ridge development:
Page 4
PARK BOARD MINUTES
March 5, 1990
OPTION *I: Complete grading to a minimum of 3' above the 100
year flood elevation on the proposed five acre park
in the southeast section of phase 2 of Pine Ridge. This will
be completed during grading of phase 1 's development. Once
construction begins in phase 2 the remaining park dedication
equal to approximately 60 lots will be collected at
$400. 00/lot will be collected. This is to assure the park
board that a park will be installed in this area. Trails
will also be brought to grade and graveled per the plan.
OPTION *2: Accept a cash dedication of $400. 00 per lot for
phase 1, of Pine Ridge Preliminary Plat which consists of
approximately 60 lots, and the Developer will also install
the trail as specified in the plan, bring it up to grade, and
surface it with gravel. The bituminous surface will be the
city' s responsibility.
Phase 2 consists of 50 acres. Park Dedication will be met in
phase 2 by claiming a 5 acre parcel to be brought to grade
for a park. This 5 acre parcel surrounds a pond consisting
of 3. 3 acres. Trails noted on the preliminary plat will also
be brought to grade and graveled. Grading of the park will be
accomplished when grading of phase 2 begins.
Option *2 to be accepted only if option #1 is in some way not
legally feasible to do.
John Bauman seconded the motion and the motion was approved
unanimously.
DISCUSSION OF TEEN CENTER UNITED COMMUNITY NETWORK INC.
Jenean Erickson and Sally Nelson, Vice President approached
the board. They stated the group is now looking for a place
to build a teen center. There is considerable amount of
support for this project, and many people have offered to
donate money to support it .
The group applied for a grant from the state to help support
the teen center. This grant may be as much as $35, 000 .
The City of Circle Pines stated that they may donate some
land, but they are waiting to hear if the grant was approved.
Sally Nelson estimated that 800 students from Centennial
School District are Lino Lakes residents . The total number
of kids is 1800.
The group would like to have a site within walking distance
from the school .
Don Volk suggested to the park board dedicating a parcel of
land on Sunset Road. It is an outlot that the city owns . At
one time this outlot was used as a drainage area, and is one

SUBJECT: Recreation Updates
,00*N
Please find an updated summary of statistical information for the
late Winter/Spring and current Spring recreation programs. As
accurately as possible, these records show participation and budget
figures.
One way to gauge program success is to compile such data. Obviously
programs that break even or show spectacular earnings are
worthwhile. We should not forget that there are programs that we
have also had subsidized by philanthropic groups that show a
deficit without subsidy, but are also very socially successful. Our
playground program is the prime example. There are also many
internally rewarding types of leisure that we can offer. We only
need to discover them.

Dear Eric,
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your Eagle Scout
project in Shenandoah Park. the sign and flower bed/landscape
design has given identity and highlighted the entrance to this
park. This is a project that the City badly needed to have done,
and with your hard work it was accomplished.
I realize that this project took you over the required time for
your Eagle Scout project. It was a pleasure working with you Eric,
r� on your ideas and the materials. Thank you for all of this and your
follow up to the project.
