Board- members present : Lindy, Ken Johnson , Baumann. Members absent : James , Nissen , and Toffoli (absent due to the birth of her baby during the past week) . Also present were Mr. Volk , Public Works Director ; Mrs . Foster, Secretary; Mr . Bisel , Council Liaison. CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES Regular meeting - February 2 , 1987 - Ken Johnson asked that the 2/2/87 minutes be corrected to include : Page 2 , MOTION: Mr. Lindy . . . . and free play on the drawing . This grading is to be completed when the roads are completed in this development . Mr. Baumann seconded the motion to accept the 2/2/87 minutes to include the correction above . Motion carried unanimously . FOX ROAD/COLONIAL WOODS - EASEMENT AS PARK LAND Mr. Mike Ball and Ms . Mary Kay Benson appeared before the Board to continue the discussion from the 2/2/87 meeting wherein the residents of Colonial Woods are requesting that the Fox Road easement in Colonial Woods be changed to park land . They presented a petition signed by several Colonial Woods residents requesting this park area. MOTION: Mr. Lindy moved to recommend to Council that the Fox' .Rd . ease- ment , under the conditions outlined within the petition presented this evening , be dedicated as park land , contingent upon approval by the necessary safety and emergency departments , the Planning & Zoning Board , and the City Council. This motion failed for lack of a second . The Colonial Woods representatives were told that at the time of the plat approval , the developer paid money as park dedication rather than providing a park within the plat . This item was then tabled until the next Park Board meeting . Ms . Benson took back the petition in order to distribute it to the remainder of Colonial Woods residents for signatures . BMX TRACK INSURANCE Ray Johnson reported that the BMX track association leader, Mr . Neil Shult , has assured Mr. Johnson that the association has in- surance coverage for the BMX association, the association has re- ceived the canceled check for the premium , however the association has not yet received the policy . The Board asked that staff pre- pare a letter to the BMX association stating that if the City has not received a certificate of insurance by the next Park Board meeting , the Board will recommend to the City Council the elimin- ation of the track . This item will appear on the next agenda . j PARK BOARD March 2 , 1987 Page Two PARK IMPROVEMENT PROPOSAL - CIRCLE-LEX LIONS Mr. Stephenson and Mr. Blum of the Circle-Lex Lions appeared before the Board proposing to pay the expenses involved in installing volleyball courts at Sunrise Park . They explained that because the Lions use Sunrise Park each year for their Sandburr Days events , they feel it would be appropriate to make improvements from time to time . Discussion followed regard- ing the number of courts and the placement within the park . The Lions representatives felt that the Public Works Director should determine these things and asked that cost estimates be forwarded to the Lions before continuing with the project . MOTION : Mr. Baumann moved to accept the proposal from the Circle- Lex Lions to pay for volleyball court(s) at Sunrise Park . Deter- mination of the location of the court(s ) and whether one or two courts is appropriate should be made by the Public Works Department . Cost estimates for the project are to be forwarded to the Circle- Lex Lions before continuing with the project . Mr . Ken Johnson seconded the motion which carried unanimously . Mr. Stephenson asked Mr. Volk to also check the fence line on Sunrise Park ballfield #1 since some players feel it is too short . DENNIS ERICKSON BUILDERS - PARK DEDICATION Mr. Ficocello represented D. Erickson Builders . He presented a drawing dated 3/2/87 which he used to explain recent changes to the preliminary plat of the addition planned south"`of Birch Street . The preliminary plat which the Park Board reviewed several months ago included nearly forty acres south of Birch Street . This plat is contingent upon approval of the comprehensive plain amendment which is currently being studied by the Metropolitan Council . The City Engineer has recommended to D . Erickson that the develop- ment be expanded to include an additional approximately 15 acres along the south end. The reason for this recommendation is that a portion of the additional 15 acres is suitable for building and since the plat includes utilities , it is wise to extend the util- ities to as many hook-ups as possible . Also the inclusion of this land to the south would prevent any possible "landlock" situation . To the south of the new proposal , land `is totally unbuildable . Mr. Ficocello explained that althnugh the grading of the entire plat will be completed at the beginning ,'_ the actual building of homes and hook-up to utilities will be done in phases , from the north edge to the south edge . Because of this , the park land will not be accessible or usable until addition is completed to that point (probably in 1988) . The area proposed for park dedication is located partially in the original 40 acres and partially in the 15 acre add-on. The area proposed will meet the requirements of park land for the entire "new" preliminary plat . The area will be brought to suitable grade by D. Erickson ; the plan for possible ballfield, hockey rink and parking will be completed by the City . PARK BOARD March 2 , 1987 Page Three MOTION : Mr. Baumann moved to recommend to Council acceptance of the park dedication as presented this evening and outlined on the 3/2/87 drawing . The Park Board understands that the final grading of the park area will be completed at the beginning of the project , although the park may not be accessible until development to this area occurs . The Park Board also understands that the dedication is for the entire approximately 55 acres (40 acres originally pro- posed and 15 acres add-on as recommended by the City Engineer) . Mr. Ken Johnson seconded the motion which carried unanimously. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN The Board reviewed the draft and updated it as found on Page Four of these minutes . VANDALISM REPORTS None reported. OLD BUSINESS None . NEW BUSINESS None . The meeting adjourned by unanimous decision at 8 :43 P.M .
