AGENDA ITEM
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Marty Asleson
DATE: Shorview Covenant Church
TOPIC: Park Land Consideration
BACKGROUND:
Please refer to the history from the last Park Board meeting on
back-history. This history refers to the needs for open-space
and the search for this land in the south Baldwin Lake Area.
The outcome from this meeting was the Park Board would not
consider leasing property with no buy-out at the end, and that
there was no money to lease land at the churches offer anyway.
The church has asked the City of Lino Lakes to consider their
attached proposal. This proposal involves the pledging of
$37,500 of dollars from deferred wac and sac to be used for the
future acquisition of park land.
The deference of wac and sac charges has never been done and
would be a consideration of the City Council if recommended by
the Park Board.
OPTIONS•
1. Recommend to the City Council that they consider the proposal
as presented in letter from Tim Yantos.
2. Refer back to staff for further consideration.
RECOMMENDATION
Option one, recommend to the council the consideration as
presented in the Shorview Covenant Church letter, with the
stipulation that a date must be set for a future city ownership
date.

Dear Marty:
I'm writing you today concerning our continuing discussion of the City of lino Lake's
Interest in leasing land from the Rice Creek Covenant Church,formerly the Shoreview Covenant
Church, for park purposes. You Indicated to me that the City Parks and Recreation Department
did not have funding at this time to lease park land.
Our church would like to offer the City of tiro Lakes the following proposal. The Clty of
lino Lakes plans on assessing our church$75,000 for sewer and utility hook-up charges. We
would propose that$37,500 of this assessment would be pledged toward the lease of four plus
acres for ten plus years. This would allow the City Parks and Recreation Department to lease
--� the property at this time without expending any money,and would allow our church to not have
to expend 7,500 for hook-up charges.
Although we are not in a position to sell this property at this time,we would agree to allow
any funding provided by the City of Lino takes for leasing purposes to be used toward the
purchase price at some future date.
We look forward to working with the City of Lino Lakes. If you have any questions,
please don't hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
. �1M

MEMORANDUM
Date: October 1, 1996
From: Marty Asleson
To: Lino Lakes Park and Recreation Board
Subject: Survey/Athletic Complex
Decision resources was still in the process of data entry as of
Tuesday, the 1st of October. I have been told by Decision
Resources that the frequencies for the parks and recreation
section would be hand delivered to the office on Monday. If I
get them, I will bring them to the meeting. At this time there
is no analysis done in relationship to these frequencies. This
will come at a later date.
The A-3 athletic complex consideration for funding and the grant
we received for the land acquisition is tied to the public
opinion presented in this survey. We had been given a second
deadline of September 29th for the city to decide on the grant
dollars.
MEMORANDUM
Date: September 30, 1996
From: Marty Asleson
To: Lino Lakes Park and Recreation Board
Subject: North Metro Partnership Update
The North Metro partnership discussion has been introduced at the
past few meetings. Please recall the North Metro communities
approached the City of Lino Lakes on a contract for service
partnership for supplying recreation services. The Lino Lakes
Park and Recreation Board selected two members to be liaisons to
this committee. Joe Schmidt and Sharon Lane were appointed to
this steering committee.
Staff has been meeting with the North Metro Recreation
professional, Janet Bona concerning the direction of this
committee. There are several issues that the North Metro
Commission had raised that staff will work with the North Metro
Coordinator to answer and define. Preliminary budget figures
need to be compared, and levels of service defined before this
can go any further.
Please find attached a copy of a letter from Janet Bona to the
North Metro Recreation Commission concerning their upcoming
meeting.

� ; U
Questions and Answers
Here are some answers to questions we anticipate you may have about the
petitions and our proposed park plan.
Why are we presenting petitions to the Council rather than the Park Board?
The City Clerk told us that this is the petition process. In any case, we
spoke at the last Park Board meeting to give them copies of the petitions,
and tell them that we'd obtained over 400 signatures on each one and
that we'd be presenting the petitions to the City Council. (Incidentally, the
Park Board said that to change the master plan, we must do petitions.)
What could be done to address the concerns of the people bordering the
park who want to keep the plan as-is?
A lot has already been done. The Park and Rec. Dept. has already
addressed privacy concerns in a variety of ways. For example, they have
created various burms in and around the park, they've moved trees from
within the park over to property lines, and they've put in a budget request
for additional treestshrubs around the park. In addition, residents
bordering the park convinced the Park Board to move the playground to a
11-N location that's almost out of site of their homes-against the desires of
other residents. Also, residents bordering the park wanted neutral
colored equipment, which is what was ordered.
As for placement of other proposed park elements, the only place that
residents bordering the park seem to agree on is having everything
moved to the unaquired land, which is unacceptable to the 400+ people
signing the petitions.
What are our primary reasons for wanting to change the park's master plan
to the proposed plan?
Residents have many reasons. Many residents support the petitions due
to the following reasons:
• Before I moved here, realtors showed us the space and plan for a park
in the neighborhood. I've lived here for almost 5 years and there's
hardly anything in the park.
• There is a lot of unused space in the currently available park land, so
we'd rather have additional recreational opportunities added to this
space rather than waiting years for the smaller, unacquired land.
Besides, the currently available land is a lot closer to all of our homes,
it's much easier to access, and there are multiple access points to it.
.�. Q's and Ns - Page 2
• With so many kids in the area, they need a safe place to play.
Currently, they're playing their informal sports games (hockey,
basketball, baseball, tennis, etc.) in the middle of the streets and in the
cul de sacs, and the kids are outgrowing these spaces. Cars and
homes are getting hit by baseballs. Kids are unnecessarily getting
hurt. Hockey pucks are getting lost in the manholes. Cars must
constantly be on the lookout for`pickup games" in the streets.
• We have raised the money to make this a better park and there are
additional fundraisers as we speak. But with everything else planned
for the unacquired land, there's nothing to spend the money on!
• Over 2 years ago, Marty Asleson attended a neighborhood meeting
and gave us copies of the city's park plan ("Original Plan"). He told us
that the city only had money for playground equipment and that if we
wanted any of the other park elements, we might want to do
fundraisers and ask for matching from the Friends of the Park
foundation. (See copy of"Minutes from 7/21194 Meeting" for details.)
For the past 2 years, dozens of residents have participated in
fundraisers; in addition, a $2,000 grant was obtained from Friends of
the Park. But now, many of the items we raised money for are no
longer in the park plan (e.g., basketball court) or were moved to
unaquired land (picnic shelter) that may not be available for years.
• When someone buys property that borders park land, they should
expect that a park vAll be put there. Moreover, we were able to obtain
a copy of the plan showing the various recreational elements that
could go into the park, so others, too, could've obtained a copy.
What can be done to satisfy all residents?
Perhaps that's not possible, but we do feel the city and residents have
made many efforts already to accommodate the concerns of those
bordering the park. We feel that a neighborhood park that is not a
programmed/scheduled has been proven in countless other
neighborhoods to be a "good thing". As for parking concerns, the
expert park planners (Brauer &Assoc.) have repeatedly said that
parking problems and the like are not an issue for an informal "ride
to/walk to" park like this one. And if such problems ever did arise,
Marty Asleson has explained various options for resolution.
101IN Please help us move forward with this park!

To the Homeowners within the Vicinity of"Birchwood Park",
Greetings! This letter summarizes the status of your neighborhood park and
explains the purpose of the petitions that 25 residents of the Birchwood Acres
and Pine Ridge Developments are sponsoring.
The current master plan for. "Birchwood Park" (dated 7-1-96) includes the usage
plan for the currently available land as well as the not-yet-available land south of
Fox Road. We feel that the current master plan could better utilize the
designated park land. The objective is to add to or change various features of
the current master plan via 5 specific petitions, which will be presented to the
Lino Lakes City Council
Each of the proposed features appeared on at least 1 version of the park
designer's concept plans. We feel the proposed features will better meet the
informal recreational needs of the neighborhood children, youth, and adults who .
will be using the park, and will be sensitive to the concerns of residents living
along the park's borders. Feel free to compare the current Master Plan to the
Proposed Plan so you can decide for yourself which plan would make a better
neighborhood park.
Here is a summary of the petitions:
Petition #1: Add a 1/2 court basketball court (also usable for hard court games)
Note: Materials can be paid for with donated money.
Petition #2: Add a hockey rink
Note: Neighbors will seek funds (e.g., from the Hockey Assn.).
Petition #1 Improve the informal ballfield (groomed infield with bases)
Note: Bases would be paid for with donated money:
Petition #4: Move the picnic shelter to a better location in available land.
Note:Area builders have already indicated interest in funding this.
Petition#5: Move the volleyball court to the south end of the open play area.
Note: Equipment can be paid for with donated money.
The Parks and Recreation Department has indicated that no additional City
money will be available for this park in the near future, except for the Park &
Rec. Dept. funding request for$4,000 in shrubbery, trees, etc., to border the
park. In any case, residents continue to do fundraising so that our park has a
wide array of recreation opportunities.
By signing the petitions, you are helping to make a more fully
featured park a reality! Thanks for your support!

Survey Number Item Comments
4 Picnic Shelter/Parking Lot Off 62nd Avenuefin southern location off 62nd
71 Horseshoe Courts Voted out 1st mtg. -very dangerous
71 Soccer Field Is already there- Baseball assume you mean backstops
71 Skating/Hockey Rink Include warminghouse
72 Playground Equipment Put in a bad place, child could be abducted, hurt or get lost in
marshy area&no one would even know it. I hope you can
make up for this by improving on the rest of the park.
73 Petitions Would like them to go through.
74 Play Area Mainly for small children -needs something for 8-12 year olds.
Also too dangerous(sitting in woods)Wouldn't let small kids be
there alone. People who live by park have had too much say&
getting their way. They are extending their property into park
should be pushed back. Look at the way the trail was cut in
around owners plants-should have forced them to move the plant
75 General Comments Appreciate the fact that you are getting more of the neighbor-
hood involved & not just hearing the side of the people who live
on the land surrounding the park.
76 General Comments Don't forget about Shenandoah Park. This park has been there
for 27 years&has seen very little upgrading. People would use
that park if improvements were made. Develop some of the
older parks before improving a new park.
77 Plant Buffer Material Trees and shrubs
78 General Comments Hockey&/or skating rinks are needed very much in this area.
80 General Comments Grass baseballfield (not skinned field)
87 Picnic Tables Limited amount.
Benches Limited amount 1 or 2 by the pond.
88 General Comments Is there an existing endowment fund or another place for the
ongoing maintenance of park facilities?
89 General Comments Thank you for asking for our opinion. It is a pleasure to live in
Lino Lakes where the city officials care about their residents.
90 General Comments This is a community park not a PUBLIC park.
93 Plant Buffer Materials Not in master plan, so why rate it?
1/2 Court Basketball Not in master plan, so why rate it?
Grills Already approved& paid for by money raised by neighborhood.
95 Skating/hockey rink Highest priority of all.
101 Gazebo/observation plat. Not on master plan-did not rate.
Soccer field Multipurpose field.
1/2 Court basketball Not on master plan-did not rate.
103 Parking Lot Near picnic shelter a neccessity.
1/2 Court basketball Not on master plan.
104 General Comments Many comments(2 pages)attached to survey
106 General Comments Do our taxes increase to maintain more elements? Playground
looks wonderful. Thanks!
108 General Comments I liked the plan the Park Board had already approved!
110 General Comments Paved area for roller blading
115 General Comments We also consider a groomed in baseball field a high priority.
116 General Comments We only ranked those things we feel are needed -the others
would be excessive. Thanks for asking!
y 118 Plant Buffer Material Only along trails not to shield neighbors.
119 Other Trees- Did not give ranking.

Id.
Marty,
I think we need to clean up the mission statement because there is too many conjunctions.
How about:
The purpose of the trails committee is to identify and plan a comprehensive recreational and
transportation trail system with recommendations made to the park board.
I don't think it changes to intent of the statement but I didn't want to change it without consulting
the other members.
Laura
+� City of Lino Lakes
Trails Committee
9/23/96
The 9/23/96 meeting was started by Marty Asleson (Park, Recreation, and Forestry Coordinator).
Members in attendance were Ken Johnson, George Lindy, Ted Brausen, and Laura Wolf.
Marty had sent out a copy of Anoka County Five Year Plan for upcoming road projects 1997-
2001 to the members of the trail committee. Dave Ahrens had been invited to tonight's meeting
to discuss this plan and it's potential for future trail development but he was not present at the
meeting. The plan will need to be discussed at future meetings.
Laura gave a summary of her discussions with Gene Kukenberg (Shoreview) and Marti Walsh
(Vadnais Heights) regarding their cities trails committees role. The main functions of the
committees are 1) establish and forward a master trail plan, 2) pursue additional funding by
helping with seeking grant assistance, 3) liaisons to local community groups, 4) review of new
development proposals that may have impact of future trails, and 5) keep track of trail mileage,
maintenance issues, and signage.
A mission statement was developed during the meeting. It is as follows:
The purpose of the trails committee is to identify and plan a comprehensive recreational
and transportation trail system and make recommendations to the park board.
General objectives for future meetings are to look at the existing comprehensive trail plan and
compare it to what is presently in place. The members are then to identify what they currently see
as problem areas/deficits in the cities' trail system and develop an appropriate plan for addressing
these issues. At the next meeting, Marty will put together a map outlining the existing trail
systems. Ted will bring in information on the snowmobile trails in the region.
There was discussion about trail development that may be occurring in the surrounding cities and
counties and its relationship to Lino Lakes future trails. Marty will contact Blaine and Circle
Pines. George will contact someone in Washington County. Laura will try to get information on
the White Bear Lake area and call Rose Soler from the Shoreview trail committee.
Decisions regarding officers and terms were decided. Laura will be Chair, Anoka Parks liaison,
and gather information regarding grant opportunities. George will be Secretary/Recorder and park
board liaison. Ted will keep in touch with his local legislator regarding any bills or laws that may
pertain to trail development. Laura and Ted will have three year terms. George and Ken will
have two year terms. Laura will contact Jodi Budde to determine if she has any continued interest
in the trails committee.

City of Lino Lakes,
The City of Lino Lakes Park Board has recently completed prioritizing a
list of immediate park needs which we would like to budget for 1994. The
short term goals are aimed at completing projects already begun in existing
parks, updating and maintaining older parks, completing hard surface
coatings for existing trails, and planning for future neighborhood parks.
Our longer range goals involve acquiring land to be used for a large
citywide recreational area and developing such an area for a very diverse
family centered recreation experience. Examples of representative use would
include, but are not limited to: softball and baseball fields, soccer fields,
archery areas, picnic and passive areas, skating areas etc.
The need for such a recreational area, plus the need for developing existing
parks and parkland (ie. Country Lakes Park) brings me to the point of this
letter. As we are all aware the Lino Lakes Park Board, much like the
City of Lino Lakes, does not have a surplus of funds in it's treasury to
finance such an undertaking. Therefore, we as a Park Board believe that if
we are to continue planning for our city's future recreation needs, we must be
proactive in creating financing opportunities to accomplish these goals.
Because of the sums of money involved in pursuing the projects we are
contemplating, we feel the only logical means of obtaining such funding is to
turn to those who will benefit most from the park improvements and development,
- the Citizens of the city. `
It is our desire to initiate some type of bond referendum to acquire the needed
funding for our park needs. Because of the future needs in our city for an
adequate City Hall, as well as the need for a teen center we are proposing one,
or a combination of the following:
1) a stand alone referendum to finance Park needs
�) a referendum to finance Parks and a teen center
3) a referendum to finance Parks and a City Hall facility
Because of the time required to prepare a community to be receptive to such a
financing package, we would like to actively pursue the bond referendum process
as soon as possible. I will be happy to meet with you and answer any questions
at your convenience.

LINO LAKES PARR BOARD REPORT 1993
A. Background
1. For the past year or so the park board has been in a state of
limbo concerning park development and park land acquisition. ,foe,-
2. We have been wait ingopcompletion of o� our Parksfid Recreation
Comprehensive Plan from Bra-rer and associates. /With the level
of growth we are experiencing in Lino Lakes, we need a framework
to guide us in park needs, park design and trail layout. With
this plan we are now able to proceed with park development in a
more orderly fashion.
B. Financing
1. We have a very limited budget relative to the cost of park develop-
ment and real estate acquisition.
2. We do have a small balance in our Park Department Dedicated Funds
Account which we have "hoarded" over the past few years while de-
veloping our Comprehensive Plan.
a) much of this money is already allocated for park improvement
in the respective development from whence it came.
b) the remaining balance is relatively insignificant when looking
at the overall park development picture in Lino Lakes.
3. In the future we will try to meet our financial goals through:
a)---dedicated funds and dedicated land from_new development
b) generating funds in our recreation programs•
c) funding from our non-profit "Parks and Recreation Foundation"
established by park board member Jacquelyn Farm.
d) ultimately developing and nurturing a percieved need in the
community for park development and land acquisition and
thereby gaining public support and an affirmative vote for a
Parks and Recreation Bond Referendum.
C. Goals of Park Board
We are �romoting an orderly development of the park system in Lino Lakes
to follow the guidelines set forth in our Comprehensive Plan for Parks
and Recreation. We have short term goals which we would like to achieve
and of course we have some long term conceptual goals.
n
(2)
1. Short term development needs
a). $10,000 for a hockey rink and lights at City Hall Park. This
priority may be altered to encompass a City Hall Park master
plan with the opportunity of possibly working with a Marine
Corps Reserve Unit to complete Lino Park. This money may be
better spent redirected into a Park Master Plan.
b) . $10,000 for improvement and equipment at Leonard and Bradley
Park; a park which has deteriorated to an almost unusable
level.
c) . $2,000 - $4,000 to master plan Country Lakes Park. The park
has great potential but is currently misguided.
d) . purchase and development of a park in the South Baldwin Lake
area.
2. Long Term Goals
a) . purchasing a larger athletic complex type park (A-3) in the
Holly and 12th. Ave. area.
1) would like to tie up land with a down payment at today's
prices.
2) establish some sort of creative financing beneficial to
both the city and the landowner.
b) . trail development
1) would like to annually finish a predetermined length of
existing unpaved trails until all existing trails are
paved.
2) mandate that trails be paved by the city as they are
built.
D. Wet Lands
To make our efforts more effective when evaluating new plats for de-
velopment and parkland acquisition, we would like controlled wet lands
delineated on concept plans so we may determine feasible park and trail---
placement. We have had problems in the past and new problems are aris- �Joe_(-
ing continually with the Army Corps of Engineers designated wet lands PI
regulation. Our policy is:
1. attempt to avoid wet lands
2. by permit, fill as allowed to facilitate parkland, especially
trails
3. our last choice involves expensive boardwalks and alternate
methods of transversing wet lands
E. Summary
1. Develop Parks and Recreation Program within the frame work of the
Comprehensive Plan
2. Acquire land as needed at today's prices
3. Educate public so as to possible pass a bond referendum to fund park
development
4. Listen to needs of individual neighborhoods in developing park plans

MEMORANDUM
TO: Linda Elliott
FROM: Marty Asleson
DATE: January 23, 1993
SUBJECT: Goal Summary 1993
Please find attached a breakdown of the priorities that are set
forth in the comprehensive plan as well as cost ranges. If the
totals for the top 6 Acquisition priorities are totaled, the
estimate for implementation would cost $259,000. 00. This would
include the acquisition of the additional A-1, City Hall Land. The
Park Board has shifted their perception of the priority ranking of
A-1 with A-3 (the south side-athletic complex acquisition) . Thus,
the real cost of acquisition implementation becomes higher at
around $445,000. This is the real cost of acquisition. The same
high costs occur with development with the cost estimate at around
$610,000.00. This was the reason for the special Park Board
meeting, to try to come to grips with the fiscal reality of here
and now.
In addition to the priorities as defined in the attached
spreadsheet the Park Board, as described in the comprehensive plan,
wishes to not sacrifice the small improvement and upgrade needs of
the parks in lieu of expansion elsewhere. In order to make the
present parks more usable the board wished to look at the following
priorities:
1. $10, 000-$12,000 for a hockey rink on the north side of the
City. Probably City Hall Park.
2. $2000. 00-$4000.00 for re-master planning Country Lakes
Park.
3. $2000.00-$4000.00 for master planning the n-14 park area.
Although the reality of an established 6 acre park at this
time is uncertain.
4. $12, 000-$15,000.00 to replace the playground at Leonard and
Bradley.
S. $12, 000-$14,000.00 to pave the existing gravel trails for 1993;
and to keep up with a paving program for trails as new trails
are dedicated.
The Park Board was some what split on the Acquisition/Development
but they all agreed that the Acquisition of the prioritized land
'�` areas is important. We also have an ongoing need to add equipment

MEMO TO: Steering Committee Members, Creating Community
FROM: Commissioner Margaret Langfeld
SUBJECT: Meeting Notice for October Meeting
The Steering Committee for Creating Community is scheduled to meet:
Tuesday, October 8, 1996, 5:30 - 7:30 p.m.
Room 330, Human Service Center, 1201 89th Avenue NE, Blaine
Agenda: Support for Outcome Groups
Agenda items include approval of descriptive pamphlet, discussion of possible news releases,
reports on efforts to attract new steering committee members, review of sample resolutions of
support and discussion of how to support the coordinating initiative being proposed by the
Structured Activities Outcome Committee.
As you can see from the attached minutes of the outcome committees, we now have two
identified tasks to activate- a speakers' bureau and a coordinating and support function. The two
identified tasks will make it much easier to focus on our support function.
I hope to see you at the meeting. !�

Gordon Voss 11120 NE 7th Street,Blaine 757-3359
The meeting began with a discussion of how the new persons attending the meeting had
learned about it. It was discovered that Terry Dussault had caused a notice of the activity
to be in the Blaine City Newsletter(Copy Attached). After Kudus were given to Terry,
the suggestion was made that the steering committee should be getting similar news
releases in future editions and in other city newsletters as part of our membership
outreach.
The first business was a review of where we were in obtaining our goals. It was noted
that the outreach committee had focused on the task of building awareness in the
community through a Speakers Bureau. The Speak= Bureau was to start by presenting
the research and challenge of building assets in youth to various groups in our 5 city area.
Eight members of the outreach committee had undergone spealaer mining from the
extension service.on Tuesday,September 24. A form to list contacts for possible speaking
engagements was distributed, (Copy Attached). Members were encouraged to tnalae
initial contacts, and send their completed forms to Gordon Voss by October 4 so he could
begin scheduling speakers.
Attention was then turned to developing a task proposal for the outcome committee on
structured activity. That committee had in earlier meetings produced a list of three
outcomes they were interested in achieving: (1) Mechanisms/Support Systems are in place
to facilitate youth giving services to their communities/neighborhoods, 2.Youth friendly
facilities in place in which straetured and drop-in activities for teens can take pace, and
(3)Neighborhoods develop their unique sense of identity and self sufficiency. );however,
the structured activity committee had experienced several frustrations in its attempt to
select a task to achievz their outcomes. Many efforts exist in the community working on
these outcomes and it is not apparent that Creadrtg Cornmuniry could add value by just
creating new groups to do the same thing. Also, them simply weren't enough people
active in Creating Committee to tackle all the outcomes.
