City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting April 25, 1996 Roll call was taken, members present were George Lindy, Betty Piper, Sharon Lane, Pam Taschuk, and Ken Johnson. Also present were Marty Asleson, Park, Recreation, and Forestry Coordinator, and Sandie wood, Recording Secretary. Not present were Joe Schmidt and Amy Donlin. Public Hearing, A-3 Athletic Complex DNR Outdoor Recreation Grant Chairman George Lindy opened the public hearing at 6 :20pm on Thursday, April 25, 1996 . Marty gave background information on the application and status of the grant . He explained that this was a grant for the A-3 Athletic Complex on Holly and County Road J. George said the grant had been submitted last year but it had not been approved. Marty received a call from Audry Mularie, DNR, saying the legislature did approve our 1995 grant application on April 24 in the amount of $50, 000 . 00 . This grant is a cost match grant and must be used before the end of 1997 . .� Ken asked what the money was to be used for. Marty responded land acquisition. Ken then asked if negotiations were still going on. Marty said we were going to have to figure out where the balance of the funding was going to come from. George said this should be a question on the survey. He said that is why the survey is so imperative. There was discussion on negotiating the purchase price for this piece of property. No residents were present to ask questions or make comments on this grant . Park Board Member Taschuk made a motion to close the hearing at 6 : 30pm. Park Board Member Lane seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. 1 ' vv City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting May 6, 1996 The May 6, 1996, City of Lino Lakes Park Board meeting was called to order at 6 : 35pm. By Chair, George Lindy. Roll call was taken, members present were George Lindy, Joe Schmidt, Pam Taschuk, Amy Donlin, Sharon Lane and Paul Montain. Also present were Marty Asleson, Park, Recreation, and Forestry Coordinator and Sandie Wood, Recording Secretary. Betty Piper did not attend the meeting. Marty congratulated George and Joe for being re-appointed to the Park Board. George congratulated Paul for being newly elected. ELECTION OF BOARD CHAIR: Sharon Lane nominated George Lindy as chair of the Park Board. Joe Schmidt seconded the motion and George was reelected by a voice vote . APPROVAL OF APRIL 1, 1996 MINUTES: George discussed making a change to the minutes on Page 1, second paragraph. They read "The Park Board felt it was very important that the residents be given background information so they would be able to give informed answers when doing the survey." This was discussed at the meeting but the whole board did not feel this way, therefore, he deleted this sentence from the minutes . Sharon Lane made a motion to approve the minutes as amended, seconded by Pam Taschuk. Motion carried. OPEN MIKE• There was no one present for open mike . BIRCHWOOD/PARK GROVE PARK: Marty gave background on this park. He said the City Council approved the Park Boards recommendation to fund park development in this neighborhood. Funding was limited to $15, 000 . An initial meeting was scheduled with the neighborhood last year to review the master plan developed for the park. Subsequent to this meeting, changes were made to this plan based on neighborhood input . This plan was taken back to the neighborhood and met with acceptance. Both of these meetings were advertised. The plan was approved by the Park Board and the City Council . Flyers were sent out by the neighborhood group as well, notifying of the meetings . The neighborhood also took it on their own to survey the needs . The top priority was play equipment followed by the trail . Although this was not a formal survey done by the 1 City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting .-� May 6, 1996 city, the play equipment still tended to be the predominant need as heard by staff at the meetings . The neighborhood was invited to a meeting on April 11, to discuss play equipment design. Marty included a copy of the design and cost estimates for the project in the members packets . Cost is based on the assumption the neighborhood will help assemble the structure. Concerns for the play equipment location in relationship to the pond was given by residents . It was suggested to reverse the basketball court and the play structure on the master-plan. This does not change the concerns of the original master-planning process . He did not see a reason why this shouldn' t be done. He also included a copy of the pond elevations in the packets . He continued by saying although the pond is about 12 feet deep, it was designed with an 8 : 1 slope and drops off some distance from the edge . Furthermore, by switching the play structure with the basketball court, the play structure is located basically in front of wetland. n At the request of the neighborhood, we staked out the playground equipment basketball court and painted in the trail location. There was another scheduled meeting on May 2nd at 6 : 30pm in the park to look at this . The neighborhood has raised some funds that they wish to match with the Friends of the Parks to accomplish more with the allocated dollars . Possible additions are an additional swing bay, backhoe diggers, benches, picnic tables, and a small backstop for the informal ballfield. Marty said there were two options . The first was to approve the playground plan with contingencies placed on the additions until monies are received into the Friends of the Parks account . The second was to refer this item back to staff for further consideration. Marty recommended option one. Marty then read a letter, dated May 2, that he received on May 6, 1996 from residents in this area. He addressed several issues in this letter such as traffic, parking, the activities location for the park, as well as other issues . Marty told the residents that the Park Board was the board to make decisions on the park. 2 City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting May 6, 1996 George Wattson from Brauer and Associates spoke about concept plans . He talked about the picnic areas in the park and parking. Sharon asked about handicapped parking. Marty said West Shadow Lake Drive will be connecting this park and maybe there could be a pull-off area for 3-4 cars . Handicap parking could be designated there . Pat Huelman, 570 Lonesome Pine Trail, spoke on behalf of a large group of Park Grove residents . (His prepared comments will be included in the Park Board Minutes Book. ) After reading his comments he said the recommendations he would like to make are: 1 . Proceed with the playground equipment purchase and location, provided that you can assure us : A. That if a ballfield goes in it is and will remain informal -- a multipurpose grass field with a backstop, and n B. The other facilities currently planned for this area will be redistributed throughout the remainder of the park, especially the picnic shelter. In our letter you will see our recommendation for a location on the southern edge of the park to ensure easier access to future parking, provide more even distribution of traffic into and through the park, and provide a more protected and natural setting. It even could be combined with the nature overlook gazebo to maximize funds and donations . 2 . Make the trail the top priority after the playground equipment . It would be nice to do it such a way as to provide some nature features, with occasional benches or tables . 3 . And last but not least, we look forward to working with you and the other neighborhoods to come up with a park that is equitable and one that we can all feel good about . We just can' t have any more surprises . It just causes too much stress and ill will . Terry Peterson, 574 Lonesome Pine Trail asked why the park plans had been moved around and why trees were planted as a buffer. Marty said the plans had been changed at a previous meeting that 3 City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting .-� May 6, 1996 was held. Marty said we generally allow a 30' buffer between the park and homes . Some residents stated that they would be opposed to having organized activities in this park. George said the Park Board can address this at a later date and make a decision at that time. There were questions asked about how the money, that has been raised, can be used. Marty said if it is going to go through the Friends of the Park, and has been designated for playground equipment, it can only be used for that. George said there seems to be a lack of communication and a misunderstanding between the residents and the Park Board and he feels they can be easily resolved. The board does not mandate or plan the parks the way it wants them but works with the residents . He then reviewed the layout of the park as he thought the residents wanted it, talked about the trail placement, then discussed dedicated park funds and how they are used. George stated he would like to have a policy that the board could follow on approved master-plans . He said he would like to have a consensus on the placement of the playground equipment so the Park Board could agree on the purchase of the play structure so that it can be installed on the agreed upon date. Chair Lindy said this would also give George from Brauer the background to continue to formalize the plan for the north and west area of the park, leaving the smaller lower segment to be planned in the future as land is acquired. MOTION- Amy Donlin made a motion to accept the bid for the play structure, as proposed, from Iron Mountain Forge, for $15, 000 with July 13 as the date for assembling the equipment . Pam Taschuk seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously. The other issue to address is, if the plan can be developed for now and into the future if the land is acquired with the thoughts voiced this evening, the position of the basketball court, picnic shelters and distributing park pressures throughout the whole area. 4 City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting --� May 6, 1996 Joe asked if the June Pre-Park Board meeting could be at the Birchwood/Park Grove Park area. After further discussion George told the residents that the Park Board meets the first Monday of every month and that they were welcome to come to discuss any issues they might have. RICE LAKE ESTATES PARK: Marty gave background information on the Rice Lake Estates Park. Marty included a copy of the Circle Pines Park Property Lease that was reviewed and modified by the Circle Pines attorney in the packets . The modified document was reviewed by Bill Hawkins, Lino Lakes City Attorney, and met his approval . He also included two letters of correspondence from Mr. Hawkins . Bill asked for review to make sure the document includes all of the agreed upon provision. Marty has done this and it appears all right, but asked the board to look it over for anything they feel is missing. Marty said, as was discussed before, this agreement will not be signed until we have a master-plan agreement . Marty told the board that Circle Pines has their Park Board meetings on the same night, as Lino Lakes, so he thought we should have a special Joint Park Board meeting to discuss this park. George and Jason from Brauer discussed the plan for Rice Lake Estates Park. They talked about tennis courts, basketball court, play equipment, a picnic area, observation deck on a piece of highland in the southern part of the park, and a tot lot area. They mentioned possible mitigation to move the trail away from the two lots . But they would have to wait and see the topography on the wetlands before making a decision. They also presented a second plan which downsized the basketball court, re-oriented the tennis court to enlarge the play area, seating or a picnic area adjacent to the play area, with a wetland observation dock, trail links to the regional trail, and a small overlook area. Pam asked if the tot lot area was big enough. Marty said these plans will have to be presented to the residents to see if that 5 City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting May 6, 1996 is what they want . Pam wanted to know if it was big enough for a 5-12 play feature if the tot lot was not what the residents wanted. George said it would hold either age play feature but it might not be as big as other parks . George Lindy wanted to know what the total budget was for this park. Marty responded $40, 000 plus ($25, 000 to $40, 000) whatever money that would be received from the sale of one/two lots . There was a question on whether Circle Pines would contribute funds for this park. George said it was not a contingency of the development of the park. Marty said they contributed to Baldwin Park and may wish to again, but, we would have to discuss that when we meet with them. Joe asked who would maintain this park. Marty said the agreement states that Lino Lakes would do the maintenance . George said he would like to meet with Circle Pines Administration or Park Board before meeting with the residents . George asked Marty to set-up an hour meeting with Circle Pines . SURVEY UPDATE• Marty said he has not received anything from Decision Resources on the April 26, 1996 meeting. Amy thought the residents should be educated somewhat on the issues that may be included in the survey. There was discussion on possibly having an article in the Quad Press stating a city survey is going to be done and you might be contacted to participate . FORESTRY UPDATE: Marty reported that staff is out planting boulevard trees . He will be starting the bid process for the contracted planting trees soon. RECREATION UPDATE: Earth Day was a big success again this year. There were over 800 volunteers helping with various projects . Pam asked where the medallion was hidden. Marty said a Lino Lakes youth found the medallion under the train at Sunrise Park. n Marty said soccer started this week and there will need to be soccerfield renovation done this fall when the program is over. 6 City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting May 6, 1996 He went on to say that softball has also started. Marty mentioned that Barry wrote a memo to the Park Board with statistics on the NYSCA coaches certification. The Lino Lakes Park and Recreation Department is llth in the state for certifying coaches through NYSCA. Marty continued by saying the playground program will be starting in June . Barry is having Kite Day/Playground Program kick-off day at Rice Lake School on June 1 with the first 240 kids under 12 receiving a free kite. The maintenance staff is out working in the parks, putting up soccer, volleyball, and tennis court nets . George told members to note Barry' s comment on the shortage of fields for programming and to remember that when we look to the future about a recreation complex. Marty talked about Camay Blakely' s letter which was sent to Ray Johnson and members of the Lions Club thanking them for planting the trees in the Birchwood Acres/Park Grove Park. It was suggested the Park Board Chair write a thank you letter to the Lions also. George said he and Marty will do this . FRIENDS OF THE PARK UPDATE: Betty Piper is the liaison for this organization but was not present to give an update. Marty said another golf tournament meeting would be held in two weeks and he would see at that time how the corporate sponsors were coming along. He said the committee is making alot of process on the tournament . He knew they were still selling hole and tournament sponsors . An update will be brought to the next Park Board meeting. GRANTS UPDATE- George thanked Marty for the hard work and time he spent on the grants . Athletic Complex Grant: Marty said last year he applied for a State Outdoor Recreation Grant funded by State and Federal (LAWCON) dollars . This was a land acquisition grant for the A-3 Athletic Complex on Holly and County Road J. The grant could only be used for this site . 7 City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting May 6, 1996 After the state review process we were denied this grant request . The new round of grants was due on May 1, 1996 . Sometime into working on this grant he received a call from Audry Mularie saying that the legislature did not approve dollars for 1996, and that the grant deadline was being extended to March 1, 1997 . Audry did inform him that they were going to recommend, to the state legislature, that our 1995 grant be funded. This grant was approved at the legislative hearing on April 24, 1996 . The original grant instructions did not indicate a cap on the amount of award, but it turns out it was $50, 000 . At any rate we did receive the grant and it must be used before the end of 1997 . He said we will need to find additional funds . Marty included a copy of the letter he received from Audry Mularie on the grant notification. An Environmental Assessment Statement (EAS) was required within 30 days of April 12 . Marty did an EAS and sent it to Audry. Marty said we will have to let the City Council know about this grant . We will also have to wait for the survey results to decide whether to pursue the issue . ISTEA Grant: Marty included a copy of the preliminary ISTEA Grant that he submitted to the DNR for a matching trail grant . He explained the grant project area was highlighted on the map. He said since it was undecided exactly where the new roads were to be engineered into the school, he simply drew a comparable scenario for grant purposes . Marty discussed this grant with John McClellan, Superintendent of Centennial schools . Marty said we would use their dollars for school walking trails on Elm Street as well as our investment in the trails in the Senior Cottages and the church trail dedication. He also discussed this grant with Anoka County Parks as naming them a cooperator in that we may be able to run this trail into the regional park if the dollars work out right . Pam wanted to know when we would hear on this . Marty wasn' t sure. He said the preliminary deadline was May 1 . So he thought it might be awhile. Greenway Project Grant: Marty said this grant was for a greenway corridor going from Hugo, connecting to the state trail, on 8 City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting --� May 6, 1996 Highway 61, through Centerville and into Lino Lakes and hooking into the regional park. This grant passed the Citizens Committee and will go to the Legislative Committee and then to LCMR. Amy asked if we meet with the residents from each cities after we obtain the grant . Marty said each city would have to take care of their residents . She then asked if there was a time limit to use the money before losing it . Marty said it is usually two years but he wasn' t sure. Paul Montain asked if Marty met with Centerville. Marty said yes he has met with the Park Board and the Mayor. He will go back to them when he has more information. TRAILS COMMITTEE RESOLUTION RECONSIDERATION: Last year the Park and Recreation Board sent a resolution to the City Council establishing a trail committee for the City of Lino Lakes . The resolution was passed, by the City Council, on November 2 , 1995 . This item was brought to the City Council on February 23 with a list of trail committee recommendations . At that time the council wished to clarify a few issues in regards to the resolution before appointing trail committee members . The questions that needed to be clarified concerned the staggered lengths and terms of appointments and how the reporting system is to occur. After further discussion the Park Board passed the following motion. MOTION• A motion was made by Joe Schmidt to recommend the City Council stagger the terms of the committee members at 3 years and 2 years, and have the Trail Committee report directly to the Park Board. The motion was seconded by Pam Taschuk and passed unanimously. The members will be George Lindy, Laura Wolf, Jody Budde, and Ted Blanson. Kurt Rausch, Police Department, Dave Ahrens or Michael Krech, Engineering Department, and Marty Asleson will also attend the meetings . 9 City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting May 6, 1996 George will contact Brian Bourassa and Ken Johnson to see which one would like to be on the committee and which one would be the alternate. CITY HALL PARK DESIGN PLANS UPDATE: Marty said he will be looking for people to help construct the playground equipment this fall . He showed the members where the age 2-12 play structure will be placed in the park. He said they will also be re-installing the swing that was taken down. The board approved $15, 000 for this park at the goal setting meeting. MOTION• Pam Taschuk made a motion to approve the order and purchase the playground equipment for City Hall Park. The motion was seconded by Joe Schmidt and approved unanimously. OTHER OLD BUSINESS: Country Lakes Park Update: Marty said the storm damage has been cleaned up and the park has been seeded. He said this park has really changed in looks . It looks so much bigger now. George said you can see into the park now. Marty said this would also be a good place to have a pre-meeting. Brandywood Boardwalk: George said when this park was master- planned the residents said they would help build the boardwalk. He asked if he should contact Jim in regards to this . Marty said he wanted to put the piers in and then would be ready for the construction. He reported he also has the sauna tubes . NEW BUSINESS• Water Quality Report - Lakes: Marty gave the members a report on the water quality of Reshanau Lake. Reshanau was one of the study lakes in the report prepared by Montgomery Watson for the Rice Creek Watershed District Board of Managers . He said it is interesting to note the trophic status of this lake (unsimilar to other surrounding lakes) . The questions of a '1 quality recreation experience in relationship to swimming is brought forth in this report . Marty wants the Park Board to think about this issue. 10 City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting May 6, 1996 Paul wanted to know if Marty had other data to compare this report to. Marty said no. Paul also wanted to know if there was data for Golden Lake. Marty said he thought there was because they had spent alot of money to rehabilitate the lake. Park Liaisons: Sharon asked if this issue could be discussed again. George said we could do it as an update at the next meeting. Name that Park: There was discussion on naming the parks that haven' t been named yet . Marty said either the board could name them or we could get input from the residents in the park area. SCHEDULE NEXT PARK BOARD MEETING: The next meeting will be on June 3 , 1996, 6 :30pm, at City Hall . The pre-park meeting will be at Birchwood/Park Grove Park. ADJOURN• Pam Taschuk made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Joe Schmidt . The meeting was adjourned at 10 : 13pm. 11 _ a n MEMORANDUM Date: May 26, 1996 From: Marty Asleson To: Lino Lakes Park and Recreation Board Subject: Birchwood Acres Park Please take time to review the minutes from the last meeting concerning this park. The park boards policy is to wait for at least 500 of the residents to move into a neighborhood before beginning the master-planning process. I believe this is an essential and prudent process in order to create the feeling of ownership in the parks and the belief that their dedicated park or tax dollars are being spent wisely. Please keep in mind that the risks are differences of opinion that can sometimes create angry situations that the board will have to make some tough decisions on. I still believe this is the best process we have for what the people want. If there is another way, please let me know. One of the things that makes this process difficult is the fact that the board often times does not have the entire picture(additional land needs that are nebulous enough to stall the entire master plan) and thus have your hands tied. I would like to suggest that in the future, all residents moving into the city who have chosen to reside directly next to a park are notified of the intentions of our Comprehensive Park and Trail Plan. In other words, neighborhood parks are neighborhood parks and not "informal neighborhood parks", and there are certain common elements and programs that could and most-likely occur in these parks. I expect to see more residents from Birchwood acres at the meeting to address the progress of fund-raising and where to place these needed features. At this writing I am unsure of the status of Rick Carlson's intentions since the musa expansion has still not occurred. If something comes in this week, I will try to include this in the packet. Please find enclosed a copy of a small shelter and list of the additional things that were ordered from the donations received from to the Friends of the Parks. Please note that the additional playground equipment has already been approved. The items that have not been approved are the grills, tables, backstop, and player "bench. " I wish I could speed the land acquisition up so that the board could make a better decision on things like a shelter. Recall that the residents living on the north side presented the argument there was to much planned on their side, and that the board wanted Brauer to look at this when the land dedication is made. In the mean time all designated donations to the Friends can only be used for the appropriate designated project, and will remain with the Friends until the Board makes a decision on each matter. v v a 1 L V s u V!V f'1L a l l V V L a i V�.

But planners and development officials say that argument doesn't hold up,, particularly 4< ' >`;`a when cities allow develoPe rs to"transfer den- sity"from wooded areas into open lots—that ' is taking the amount of construction theoreti- cally possible in a wooded area, and allowing builders to construct that much more on an a 'M>aH 2 already clear parcel. ,s "We've just found a more creative way to., develop the land and still preserve the trees the-property," said -Mike •Franzen, Eden Prairie's city planner. ■ MEMORANDUM Date: May 26, 1996 From: Marty Asleson To: Lino Lakes Park and Recreation Board Subject: Friends of the Parks Please find attached a copy of the minutes from the April 16 meeting of the Friends of the Parks. The Friends discussed a number of issues at the May meeting including the golf tournament fund-raiser, brochure revision, Park Board approval for projects, a protocol for the grant process, the writing of a new brochure, and the creation of a web site on the internet. Also please find attached a copy of a letter that I sent to Mr. Kevin Phelps of Saturn of Saint Paul. Saturn has already donated $250 to Birchwood Acres Park. Friends of the Lino Lakes Parks Foundation Tues., April 16, 1996 7:00 PM Lino Lakes City Hall Meeting Minutes Called meeting to order at 7:15 Attendees: Barry Bernstein, Georgia Herrick,Betty Piper, Martha Walmsley Laurie Mazanec of Birchwood Acres presented a completed grant application to the board for Birchwood Acres Park. She requested matching funds for the $910 the neighborhood raised. She also reported that the neighborhood is continuing to raise money and would like to request further matching funds at a later date. The park plan has not yet been reviewed by the Park Board, but as soon as the plan is approved Marty wants to order the playground equipment. The board interpreted the$2000 cap on grant amounts to be per project, not per request. So the Birchwood Acres neighborhood group can continue to request matching funds until they reach a cumulative total of$2000. However,they must reapply for each incremental amount. Laurie told us that the checks are written out to Friends of the Parks,but are nearly a year old. After she left, the board agreed to match the funds,up to$910, contingent on Park Board approval of the park plan. However,because the checks are stale,the actual grant awarded will be equal to the amount of the checks that clear(less any fees incurred). Jacquelyne Farm,Bill Frogner and Diane Jensen were reappointed to the board for another term by Mayor John Landers at the March 25, 1996 city council meeting. On behalf of the board, on March 21 Barry and Jacquelyn accepted a$1000 grant from Target for Performances in the Parks. Barry announced that he was able to reserve Bob and all the Beachcombers on July 14 and that the performance will be sponsored by Target. We are almost out of brochures and need to get more printed. Barry will talk to Gail Todora to see whether se still has an electronic copy of the old brochure and will also check if the photo is still available. Georgia will pull together the changes that have been suggested so far. We will go with whatever we have after the next meeting. Martha talked to Tom Farm and clarified the question about when receipts are required on items we sell. Tom said that when we sell an item, the purchaser is entitled to a receipt only for the amount paid above market price. So no receipts are required for the tree sale unless someone makes a donation on top of the sales price. Kite Day (June 1 9:00-12:00) will be coordinated through the Park and Rec. Department. Earth Day is April 20. Jacquelyn will hand out popcorn and sell t-shirts. The board agreed to lower the priced of t-shirts to $12. Georgia reported on the golf committee activity. It will cost about$500 to get$1 million. It requires about two months lead time to get the insurance. Jacquelyne will look into event insurance. The committee is currently trying to staff the information table. The next meeting will be on May 21, 1996 in the Park and Rec. building at 7204 Lake Drive. The meeting adjourned at 8:45. May 25, 1996 Mr. Kevin Phelps Saturn of Saint Paul 3400 Highway 61 White Bear Lake, MN. 55110 Dear Mr. Phelps, Thank you for taking the time to discuss the possible partnership and involvement of Saturn of Saint Paul, with the City of Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department. This also gives me the opportunity to thank you for your present contribution of $250 to the Friends of the Parks for the purchase of park equipment in the Birchwood Acres Park. As I alluded to, the "Friends of the Parks" is a non-profit, tax deductible support group dedicated to creating a higher quality of leisure life for families living in Lino Lakes. The Friends of the Parks is a new group that has already worked in partnership with .business such as Target Industries, Moline Concrete and Ace Solid Waste to bring Performance in the Parks (fun for the entire family) , picnic tables and playground equipment to families who use our parks. �` Since we now have 17 parks in this growing third-tier suburban community and very little money to develop the accompanying recreation needs, I became very interested in discussing the possibilities of Saturn's interest in building parks in cities. Basically all of our parks are in need of development. The over use of our neighborhood parks has placed a congestion and shortage of athletic facilities for youth and adults alike. Therefore we are now pursuing the acquisition and construction of a larger athletic complex in the city. So you can see that whether you would be interested in helping us with neighborhood parks or on a larger scale with our athletic complex, we would be greatly appreciative. I have enclosed a Friends of the Parks brochure and a Charity Golf Tournament brochure for your consideration. I discussed the possibility of using one of your cars for our hole in one contest for this golf tournament. This tournament will be held on August 10, at the Anoka County Chomonix Golf Coarse in Lino Lakes. We will be securing hole-in-one insurance from Hole in one Guaranty Corporation out of Shreveport, LA. If this is still alright, please let me know how to arrange for this car. Again, thank you for your kind support and consideration. Sincerely, Marty Asleson Parks, Recreation and Forestry Coordinator City of Lino Lakes j1 AGENDA ITEM STAFF ORIGINATOR: Marty Asleson DATE: May 26, 1996 TOPIC: Joint/Cooperative Recreation BACKGROUND: I have enclosed a survey that the multi-government committee for ADA programming intends to send out before school lets out. The survey will be distributed to the parents of children that are enrolled in the schools of the Blaine, Centennial , White Bear Lake, Spring Lake Park, and Forest Lake districts that reside in the recreation service areas of the cities and school districts involved. Janet Bona is heading this up and worked with Don Magnuson from South Side Services in Minneapolis to put together the survey. I have also enclosed a copy of a letter that Janet is sending out �-. to the North Metro Recreation Communities concerning a meeting to discuss the possible consolidation of North Metro with Lino Lakes through contracted services. I see this as a good opportunity to begin bringing the communities together on an issue that already happens on an open enrollment basis. This consolidation could financially help all cities involved in a growing need for leisure services. OPTIONS: Contact will or will not be made with Chairman George Lindy depending on the out come of this meeting. I can see many possible benefits to this idea, but the outcome depends on the wishes of the City of Lino Lakes RECOMMENDATION• Recommend the Board follow up with this if and when the opportunity occurs.

We have found that the proposal of a joint venture between the cities of Circle Pines, Lexington, Centerville, and Lino Lakes has produced a positive response from all Park Boards involved. it has been suggested that a "trial" contract with the city of Lino Lakes with a maximum commitment of 5 years for the cities involved might be pursued. in progression of this concept the next step would be for each of the Park Boards, to include this discussion at their next meeting. Next, each City Chairperson of the 3 cities which represent North Metro Recreation would meet to further present certain provisions necessary to propose this to the individual City Councils. A meeting for City Chairpersons has been set for ............................. at .......

Bona Marty Asleson North Metro Recreation Lino Lakes Parks, Recreation, and Program Director Forestry Supervisor MEMORANDUM Date: May 26, 1996 From: Marty Asleson To: Lino Lakes Park and Recreation Board Subject: A-3 Athletic Complex I have received word from Audry Mularie, Grant Manager from the DNR that they are looking to have a commitment from the City of Lino Lakes on the purchase of the A-3 land on Holly and County Road J by the end of July. I explained that the outcome of our survey would dictate action or no action on behalf of the city concerning this project. We need to move on this or we will loose the $50,000 grant. We also received word from the historical society of the possible need to do a site survey. Please find attached a letter from the Historical Society. I will touch base with them on this and should have a better answer and approximate cost should we decide to proceed. The figures I heard from Audry were about $1500. n n MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY May 9, 1996 Mr. Marty Aselson City Hall 7204 Lake Drive Lino Lakes, Minnesota 55014 Dear Mr. Aselson: Re: A-3 Athletic Complex S33, T31, R22, Lino Lakes, Anoka County SHPO Number: 96-2091 Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the above project. It has been reviewed pursuant to the responsibilities given the Minnesota Historical Society by the Minnesota Historic Sites Act and the Minnesota Field Archaeology Act. There are reported archaeological properties in the project area. Moreover, we believe that there is a good probability that unreported properties may be present. Therefore, we recommend that a survey of the project area be completed. The survey must meet the requirements of the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Identification and Evaluation, and should include an evaluation of any properties which are identified. For your information, we have enclosed a list of consultants who have expressed an interest in undertaking such surveys. If the project area can be documented as previously disturbed or previously surveyed, we will re-evaluate the need for survey. Previously disturbed areas are those where the naturally occurring post-glacial soils and sediments have been recently removed. Any previous survey work must meet contemporary standards. Please note that this comment letter does not address the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and 36CFR800, procedures of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation for the protection of historic properties. If this project is considered for federal assistance or requires a federal permit or license, it should be submitted to our office with reference to the federal agency. 345 KELLOGG BOULEVARD WEST/SAINT PAUL,MINNESOTA 55102-1906/TELEPHONE:612-296-6126 May 9, 1996 Marty Aselson SHPO #96-2091 Page two If you have any questions on our review of this project, please contact our Review and Compliance Section at 612-296-5462.

Rick is proposing to fulfill his entire park dedication for these developments by donating land, adding on to the existing acreage of the N-10 neighborhood park. Although Mr. Carlson is proposing the park dedication in the future West Shadow Lake Drive development, the trail dedication would be considered only for the Millers South Glen Development at this time. Please refer to the plat and our comprehensive n plan to see the connections that will be accomplished with the present and future trail dedications. Thus it should be clear that the trail needs in the West Shadow Lake Drive area (the Junes property) will be considered when that development comes in. I have included a generic proposal letter from Mr. Carlson's engineer Ted Mattke. The total buildable land calculations I do not have at this writing. The wetlands are being delineated as today and the engineering figures will be tabulated friday. Rick Carlson will come to the meeting with these figures and his letter of dedication proposal based on these figures. The figure should correlate buildable upland for the two development areas in relationship to our 10o upland requirement. In reference to the N-10 park land needs in our comprehensive plan there is about a 10 acre need in this neighborhood park with about 5 acres presently existing. Mr. Carlson is proposing about a 3 .5 acre land dedication be added on to the existing park to the south and east. I have proposed the mitigation of the .21 acre area to the park connection on the north or to the south in order to avoid the need for boardwalk if needed. The park would connect out to West shadow Lake Drive and down to 62nd street as connection points. This is a very important piece of land for trail reasons. Again, please refer to the Comprehensive Park and Trail Plan. The entry section of the park off of West Shadow Lake Drive should have a buffer strip of at least 15 feet and a trail access point of at least 20 feet. Parking has been discussed in the past. This neighborhood park was designed as basically a walk to park for area residents. From the early stages of growth in this area it was decided that any parking considerations should be given to the West Shadow Lake Drive side. West Shadow Lake Drive is a very wide state aid road that should facilitate on street parking very well for this park should this become an issue. I have asked Ted Mattke, Rick Carlson's engineer to discuss the matter of road design with Dave Ahrens our city engineer, and the ability to provide some limited pull-in driving along the street right-of way to satisfy the needs of handicap and occasional day care access. I have also discussed this matter with our planner, Mary Kay Wyland. Although we are not discussing the development for the Junas property at this time it is important to have some understanding on this matter since we are now discussing the width of the access point along West Shadow Lake Drive. Original recall that we had a small parking lot in the sketch plan in back of the houses Fox Road. It would not be appropriate to place a parking lot in this area unless we had about two lot widths along West Shadow Lake Drive, and again the intention of this park is basically a walk/bike/blade etc to the park. I do suggest that as part of the requirements for the development agreement that new property owners buying houses along the new section of West Shadow Lake Drive be given notice of the road design and the possible future parking that may occur from time to time, and a plan of the neighborhood park for intended use. I would also request a deed for the land dedication, and a copy of the purchase agreement to verify the purchase value of the parcels concerned should a cash dedication become a part of the agreement. Depending on the engineering figures that will come in I believe this to be an important land acquisition need from both the park and trail perspectives. I have studied this area with Jeff Schoenbauer our planner, and Jeff agrees with this. OPTIONS' 1. Accept the dedication based on the discussion presented in this document and the land/cash values that the developer will present. 2. Refer back to staff for further consideration n RECOMMENDATION: Accept the dedication for land/ and any additional cash based on our dedication formula for the parcels of Miller's South Glen and the Junes Property. Accept the trail dedication for Miller's South Glen. e....G GI;Oii.Ac-=Ti1 .. _. t I— �-" t,.;,t_It 1;_;: F�l.j: �F:��{ �{-i�iv ate: i Hydrology - Wa-liar 'esouryciEs Af"nicipal - %`•.............is itil+{+.•+{:}}•r.;.}ii�.}!:•}:•}}}}:•}:•}:•}:ti4:4::viii:-i:-:' 4}... r•:.M•:::•:4}}:•}}i:i}iii}}}:{{v}}:•}:4iX•:4?•i OR SH E S .h. r... :{•})}• :?f.4.iY.:ti:::•,'•titii$:•$?:;: >: •Y4v4.+i v. :4{^.:{:,,•+C.•}n ••.:4.•�:v.vr.:•k{?{::•; 3 4 ••r 6?t:•.:o::•:.:•::::.;2fi ?:R;•Y,,:r��:• :+nit3:ty,.;;•:::. :f• '4}v 2 8 I 3 SpU LAN E N E � I ............. ...........................
