PARK,RECREATION,FORESTRY,AND RECYCLING DEPARTMENTS 7204 LAKE DRIVE,LINO LAKES,MINNESOTA 55014 (612)464-5562 CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, JUNE 5, 1995 The June 5, 1995, City of Lino Lakes Park Board meeting was called to order at 6:30pm. Roll call was taken, members present were George Lindy, Chair, Sharon Lane, Pam Taschuk, Ken Johnson, Joe Schmidt and Amy Donlin. Also present were Marty Asleson, Park, Recreation, and Forestry Coordinator, Barry Bernstein, Recreation Program Supervisor, and Sandie Wood, Recording Secretary. Absent was Betty Piper. APPROVAL OF MAY 1 & MAY 9, 1995 MINUTES: Sharon Lane made a motion to approve both sets of minutes, Pam Taschuk seconded the motion. Minutes were approved with no corrections. OPEN MIKE: There was no one present to speak under Open Mike. MASTER PLAN PRESENTATIONS: Marty gave background information the process of master planning for the three parks. He said the residents met on May 15 and there had good representation from each neighborhood. Brauer was present to present the master plans and take comments on revisions. He continued by saying that minor revisions were made to these park plans. The Birchwood/Parkgrove area was surveyed by the neighborhood and Marty included a copy of the survey in the Park Board packets. Marty said one subject that has come up is that of funding and park dedication dollars. Residents from the different neighborhoods wish to know how much was dedicated, how much was spent, and the Park Boards policy on spending these dollars in the areas that the dollars were taken from. A breakout of the dollars that have been taken from past dedications were included in the packets. Marty said he has talked to Mary Vaske, Lino Lakes Finance Director, and requested that she research where dollars have been spent in the past. He said this will take some time to collect. Marty said it would be nice if these parks could be named instead of calling them by the development name. BRANDYWOOD PARK: One thing that were looked at, for this park, was the internal trail system. The residents thought a looped trail would be nice for in-line skating in this park. Marty said if expansion was going to occur in this park it would on the south side of the park. He said there is enough room to put a small informal ballfield in this area. There is two boardwalks that are needed in this park. Jeff has recommended a modification of the existing boardwalk. He said it would not have to be built up as 1 CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, JUNE 5, 1995 high. Marty told of other things that were planned for this park such as playground equipment, an open play area, picnic area, horseshoe court, 112 court basketball area, and vegetation seed and sodding. The total estimated cost of this park is $77, 750.00. This can be reduced if we can get lower bids for grading and asphalt work and participation from the residents in the construction of the boardwalk and playground equipment. Jim Bruce told the Park Board that the neighborhood group is ecstatic with the plan. He said that they have formed several committees, even a childrens committee, to get them involved. They would like approval from the Park Board so they can begin work on the project. They feel the boardwalk is top priority, secondary is the trails, grading, and picnic area, and master field areas is third. They would like to get something in their neighborhood as soon as possible. George asked Marty if the first step was site preparation. Marty said they had burned the huge brush pile that was there. Starting point one was to grade, do a total kill, a finish grade, and then seed the area. There was discussion on hiring people to do bobcat work, boardwalk construction work, putting up the playground equipment, etc. Marty said from the liability standpoint our insurance carriers and the League of Minnesota Cities does not have a problem with volunteers and assembly type work, but when you start talking about construction work it becomes a liability issue and he is not sure to what extent we could allow them to do this. George said we had discussed this area before and had some insurance figures. Marty will research this and get more information. Amy asked who the contractor was for this area and if they would be able to help with this project. Jim said the contractors went bankrupt. George asked if the $4, 000.00 figure was for a contractor or city staff to do the grading. Marty said it was for a contractor. George then asked if the plan was acceptable could it be graded. Marty said Chuck Bradley has been the cheapest contractor he has been able to find and he would do a general grade. He also said there were trees that needed to be removed and he would have the r-� city maintenance crew remove them. 2 ^ CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, JUNE 5, 1995 Sharon asked how much was budgeted for this park. Marty responded $18, 000.00. Sharon then asked if this was enough to grade and gravel the trails and put the boardwalk in. Marty said this would have to be prioritized because there were other parks in the city that have been waiting for two years to be paved. Joe asked how much of the $9, 00 boardwalk cost was materials. Marty said about 50 percent. Pam asked if the 12" sand base was under the structure and if it was sand or pea rock. Marty said it would be pea rock. He said he had a source, this year, where we could get the pea rock free. We would just have to pay city staff for hauling. A resident said he was sure the residents would haul this for no fee. Joe asked how much it would cost to gravel the trail rather than asphalt it. Marty did not know what the cost would be. He said he could get figures and start working on a budget if they were going to have a meeting in the future. He told the residents that specifications would have to be written so they would be able to get bids. George told the Brandywood Park residents what Wenzel Farms residents have done to raise money for their park. The residents said they want to get the trail, boardwalk, grading and seeding done first and raise the money to do the playground area next. Joe expressed concern about not having lights in this enclosed park. The residents said they are not concerned because it is a neighborhood park and they will have their children at home when it is getting dark. They did not think this was a top priority. Pam asked what the average age of the children in the neighborhood. The response was 60-70 percent were 3 to 8 years old. MOTION: Amy Donlin made a motion to accept this park master plan concept. Sharon Lane seconded the motion. Motion was approved. FURTHER DISCUSSION: George said we need to maintain what we have with City staff and if necessary we should contract the work out for the new parks. Marty thanked George for this consideration. George then asked if Brauer was also providing a grade plan with the master plans. Marty said no. There was other discussion on grading and whether contractors could give bids from the master plans. 3 CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, JUNE 5, 1995 PHEASANT HILLS: Joe wanted to know how much was allocated for this park. Marty said $28, 000. Marty then talked about the master plan design. He said this is a walk to 2-3 acre mini park with a trail going through the park with access to the regional park. He continued by saying the fire ring has been taken out because it is not a priority. The play equipment has been scaled down, they liked the overlook area and the half basketball court, and they wanted signage at the entrance of the park to welcome visitors and place significance on the park. Joe asked what the cost would be for the sign. Marty said $250- $300 . Marty said the total cost for the project is $48, 700. Marty said that Pam Backer from Pheasant Hills Preserve called him to see what the next steps were. Marty said the next step was to have the Park Board approve the master plan. Ken asked if the developer was giving cash or if they were going to do some of the work. Marty said it has not been decided yet but they do have equipment in the area and may do some of the grading. He will talk to Pam or Homer to see what they plan to do. George wanted to know who was prioritizing the elements in this park, the neighborhood group or the developer. Marty said the neighborhood group is. NOTION: Joe Schmidt made a motion to approve the master plan, as presented, for the Pheasant Hills Park. Pam Taschuk seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously. FURTHER DISCUSSION: George asked if we should have the residents come up with names for their neighborhood parks. The Park Board thought this was a good idea. BIRCHWOOD, PARK GROVE, PINE RIDGE, (N-10) PARK: Marty told the Park Board he had included, in their packets, the results from the survey this group did for their master plan. He said their concerns were noise areas, getting people through the park, vegetation around the park, and working with neighbors to create buffers around the park. Marty said the total estimated cost of this project is $93, 800.00. 4 ^ CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, JUNE 5, 1995 Pam asked how much was allocated for this park. Marty responded $15, 000. George said $15, 000 was not going to get much for this park and he wanted to know what their priorities were. Marty said they are looking for playground equipment and access to the park. Pam asked how committed this group was. Marty said they are very committed and they are organized. George mentioned that this park might have to be looked at again when the Park Board meets for the goal setting session. More money might have to be alloted for development of this park. NK)TION: Joe Schmidt made a motion, seconded by Sharon Lane to approve the master plan for this park. Motion was approved. 20/20 VISION UPDATE: Brian Bourassa gave a presentation on the recommendations that have come from the 20/20 Vision Park and Recreation Committee. He said that the information that was given to the Park Board was only a draft of their recommendations and changes may still be made. He stated that the first three priorities are trail development, recreation center, and park development. Park development included recreation programs. He briefly highlighted the packet. r� Brian introduced Ray Weber and Laura Wolf who were also present for the meeting. George said the Park Board has been concentrating on an athletic complex and the 20/20 group has not even addressed it. Brian said it is not one of the four specific improvements or additions. However, it has been discussed at the meetings. George did not think it was going to be revenue producing other than to help support itself. He continued by saying that the Park Board got the feeling, from residents, that they wanted the complex. He said the recommendation did not address the need for active athletic type facility. Brian said maybe the group would have to revisit this before the final presentation but the intent was to have the athletic site be included in park development. Ray said that Park Board had a good park development plan and they should use it. He went on to say that the board should do surveys to obtain more information from residents. They recommended that the board use the newsletter to help gather information. George said what he is getting from staff is the residents are asking where do their kids play hockey or baseball etc. Marty said yes this is what he and Barry hear all the time. Marty said if we forgo the purchase of land for an athletic complex there won't be land available when we do decide to purchase it. Joe asked how much input staff gave to the 20/20 group because it was his understanding that softball teams had been turned away this year because of lack of playing facilities. 5 CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, JUNE 5, 1995 Barry said yes, he did turn teams away this year. He continued to say that youth activities are self-sustaining and the adult programs generally generate income. Kim Sullivan said the Park Board needed to keep in mind that there was 250 people at the forum so there was a broad spectrum of the city present. She went on to say that the Park Board, Marty and Administration needs to weigh the opportunity costs and make a responsible decision whether it is wiser to purchase the land now because of the cost. She felt that the 20/20 group would support that as long as the board can show that they are still working on the advisory groups goals. George asked how much financing was available from funding sources other than the general fund. Laura said she could not give a clear answer to that question. She thought an external consultant should be hired to investigate external funding sources because there are grants available but it is a maize to find them. Marty said when he tried to get an ISTEA grant last year he faced many obstacles. George asked if it was realistic for Lino Lakes to obtain grant money. Brian responded yes. George said we should investigate the cost to obtain a consultant to pursue grant money. Pam asked how many cities, the size of Lino Lakes, hire a consultant or use staff to obtain money. Marty said it is not uncommon for cities to have a general fund line item for consultants. George asked when 20/20 Vision is developing these plans is financing considered. Kim said they start out with a vision and they realize you can't ask for something they aren't willing to pay for. A key issue to take into the budgeting process if you can't get the money this year what are the alternatives. George asked if the people that gave input to the 20/20 Vision group are amenable to a referendum. Ray said he didn't feel they have enough information within the process of the 20/20 group to be able to answer that question. Brian said it is up to the Park Board and the City Council to decide if they have support for a referendum. Pam asked where the indoor recreation center comes in. She wanted to know if the trails were done what would you do the next the athletic complex or indoor center. Ray said it was developed, by the group, because it provide a central gathering place plus increase the potential for recreational opportunities. Pam then asked if the recreation centers that the 20/20 group visited were self sustaining. Ray said one was, one was not, and one was on the way to being self-sustaining. George asked if population density had something to do with sustenance. Ray said absolutely and we should look at using partnerships to offset costs. 6 ^ CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, JONE 5, 1995 Brian ended the presentation by saying that the 20/20 Vision, Park and Recreation Committee, would appreciate any comments and questions that the Park Board may have. NEW BUSINESS EAST TO WEST SHADOW LAKE DRIVE TRAIL: Marty gave background information on the trail link between East (Blackduck) and West Shadow Lake Drive. He said this idea was put on hold because of the litigation that occurred over the last few years in the North Blackduck area. Marty said he has been contacted by members of the homeowners association in North Reshanau recently about the possibility of residents fundraising to begin implementing this trail segment. Although this is an idea that folks seem to want, there are some complications that are present in this project. First, the access off of Blackduck is owned by the Homeowners Association. We would need to have the present utility easement redescribed to include public trail. Secondly, the first 125 feet of this trail would be used for their boat launch. Marty believes that this matter can be worked out by some additional gating considerations. He said we would also need to research our exposure on this subject. Thirdly, the homeowners association intends to begin construction on their park. The homeowners association is concerned about present hikers/joggers getting hurt, so they are considering blocking this area off. This may create some residents, that have used what they thought was regional park to get around the lake, to become upset when they can not get through. Marty' s suggestion to them was to leave a small fenced area for residents to get through. However, it is private property. Marty continued by saying perhaps, the best thing to do is to let this whole thing cool down a bit, and work with the homeowners association over the next few years to resolve this matter. In the mean time, Mr. Frank Moss, from the homeowners association, has agreed to act as spokesperson for the project if we should receive any calls. Marty stated with some patience and good planning this trail segment can work out for all residents who have enjoyed the link around the lake. r� 7 CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, JUNE 5, 1995 UPDATES AND OLD BUSINESS RICE LAKE ESTATES PARK: Marty said he received a call from Jim Keinath and their attorneys are satisfied that we are close enough, on their end, to start looking at the agreement that was written four years ago. Jim said there are a couple of things that are too broad/general and will want them changed. They should have it back to us and we will bounce it back and forth until a suitable agreement is reached. Marty continued by saying that through his research he has found that we may need to obtain a permit from the Corp of Engineers to improve the lots. He has sent a letter to the Corp of Engineers and is waiting an answer back from them. FRIENDS OF THE PARK UPDATE: Marty said the Friends are selling T-Shirts, are going to become actively involved at the Performance in the Parks events (selling popcorn) , have had a banner made, and will start working in August or September on the golf fundraiser for next year. Martha Walmsley has become the Treasurer and is doing an excellent job. Marty said they are looking at purchasing plaques to give recognition for different donations. Joe wanted mentioned the cost of the T-Shirts. Marty said they are $15 with $5 dollars of that being tax deductible. With a $25 or more donation you also receive a membership to Friends of the Park. Joe thought all the Park Board members should purchase a shirt as part of their commitment to the Friends of the Park. RECREATION PROGRAMS UPDATE: Barry said the start of the summer season program registration is going well. He said the youth and adult programs are going well. He said the nice weather has been a factor for registrations coming in. Many of the programs are already filled. Staff training for the summer programs start the week of June 12 . He continued by saying Bob and the Beachcomber will be at the June 18 Performance in the Park. The playground and traveling playground programs will be starting June 19 and run through July 27. Barry said he anticipates between 600 and 900 kids participating in these programs. Barry said the Park and Recreation Office has noticed an increase in soccer and ballfield use. He said there has been approximately 250 soccer and ballfield permits issued this year so far. He is working on a compilation of figures on past, 8 s CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, JUNE 5, 1995 present and future field usage. He hopes to have this information for the next meeting. Barry said everyone should have gotten the June brochure. He hoped the members liked the layout. He said if anyone had any questions or comments please do not hesitate to contact Barry. Joe said if programs continue to fill, maybe the user fee should be increased. George asked how we compare to other communities. Barry said we are average. Barry said he would rather have full classes at a moderate fee than half full classes at a higher fee. ADA UPDATE: Marty says that he has obtained several resolutions or letters of support to form an ADA Consortium from surrounding communities. He is now going to go before the City Council for approval. He said there is approximately $3500 left in the CDBG money and he hopes he will be able to hire an ADA Coordinator to pull this consortium together. Marty says Anoka County Commissioner Margaret Langfeld is supportive of this effort. MINOR SUBDIVISION DEDICATION SUMMARY: Marty asked the board members to refer to the memorandum from Mary Kay Wyland (memo dated June 1, 1995 is included in minute book) concerning the past collections for minor subdivisions since September, 1994 - May, 1995 . He said the question of collection of commercial fees needs to be resolved at the City Council level. The issue is that of the city trying to attract commercial growth and the park dedication acting as a deterring factor to this focus. New development in the Apollo Business Park is tax increment financed, as an attraction for business. Since we do have this requirement in ordinance, it needs to be resolved by the City Council, perhaps waiving this requirement for the present time. Amy asked about tax increment financing. She said if they received TIF did it automatically release them from their dedication responsibility. Marty said no they are not excluded. EARTH DAY: Marty said there were between 700 and 800 volunteers doing may things from picking up liter to painting park buildings and planting flowers. He said there was good food, great speakers, and many exhibits. Anoka County also gave tickets to the volunteers for a wave pool party on August 11. ARBOR DAY CEREMONIES: Marty said there were to Arbor Day Ceremonies this year. One at the Correction Facility at the Shelter and Day School and one at Lino Elementary School. 9 ^ CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, JUKE 5, 1995 OTHER UPDATES AND OLD BUSINESS: Marty told the board that the city crews planted 340 boulevard trees this spring. He said that the Friends of the Park received a donation for an irrigation system at Sunrise Park and that has been installed. NEXT MEETING: George said he would like to schedule a goal setting session in September. He would also like to place "grant consultants and cost estimate to employ a consultant" on the next agenda. The next meeting of the Park Board will be July 3, 1995, 6:30pm at City Hall if a quorum will be present. A survey will be taken later to see if a meeting will be held. ADJOURN: Joe Schmidt made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Pam Taschuk. Meeting was adjourned at 9:52pm. 10 77 5 MID NEW a Qo:O©CQa 1 �1 0 0 000� p9' 4 Pi MOL, StRff j� WC jtsaOy,p4jlf� t t �Ruw I o'er s m aoao� am�� V M— �i \ 1� n MEMORANDUM Date: July 31, 1995 From: Marty Asleson To: Lino Lakes Park and Recreation Board Subject: Follow-Up, Trappers Crossing Mini-Park Please find attached copies of the previous minutes concerning the Trappers Crossing development, a vicinity map and location map as well as a drawing by our City Engineering Department concerning a location that would work for a small mini-park in the south Trappers Crossing area. As you recall you had directed me to investigate the possibilities of a site such as this. I talked to Roger Hokenson about this and unfortunately we haven't connected on this firmly yet. Roger did mention something about naming the park after a deceased nephew of his. The park area would be comprised of a division of two lots in a wetland area with approximately 13,500 square feet of upland. The remaining lots would have enough area to conform to our zoning regulations. C I T Y O 1; LINO fANES 1--l/ \- FAX COVER SHEET =- a.

MEMORANDUM Date: July 31, 1995 From: Marty Asleson To: Lino Lakes Park and Recreation Board Subject: Trails, Gravel and Paving Projects Please find attached copies of a recent survey completed on gravel trail sections in the City that are ready for paving. I have talked to John Powell about "piggy-backing" these trails on to another project in the city. This would give us more of an economy of scale advantage. We are working with $15,000 worth of dedicated park funds only this year. Last year, with paving trails on the city overlay road projects, we placed 7020 feet of trail in at a cost of $28,829.84 including engineering costs of $1402.02. Without this combined effort, this project would have cost much more. My concern is if we are not able to combine with some other effort, do you still wish to spend the dedicated park dollars, or wait till we can get more " bang for the buck. " MEMORANDUM Date: July 24, 1995 Frcmn: Marty Asleson To: John Powell Subject: Trails Here are the gravel sections of trail listed in order of priority and by funding and an accompanying map. We were going to try to work these into some other project in the city.

As you recall the Park Board had accepted the masterplan after several neighborhood meetings and a final meeting that was advertized to solicit public opinion and comment. Changes were made to this plan accordingly and the plan brought before the City Council for approval. This plan was approved by the council. Shortly after this council approval the department went to work on some of the field preparation work. At this time the residents in the immediate area of the park reacted by attending a council meeting to show disapproval. Please find attached a copy of the letter written to the council. After a few field meetings it was determined that the problem was not the master-plan that was approved, but the location of a wetland on the masterplan. This was a problem because of the intended buffer of trees that we determined to leave and the location of the trees on the backside of the wetland (which would screen the residents) , was thought to be needed to be removed by the residents when they viewed the master-plan. The wetland was drawn by Jeff Schoenbauer exactly as it was presented in the final plat description. The field observation the residents pointed out seems to indicate an inaccuracy in this plat drawing. I believe we now have an understanding with the neighborhood that the trees are to remain, and we are waiting a letter of petition from the concerned residents to proceed. The mayor requested that this be resolved before proceeding. I have been informed by the residents that this letter will be here today or tomorrow. There are some other items that were discussed and I will bring this to the Park Board meeting. f v Dos Y MOM 0 'tha L3"i� �s.�t .; :_;Ei _. `` .• =. i-'__' .fit .. _. .. rsiogo rtorceent s group of homeowners ' n ' ' r the B_ a cod Estat f�?'= ighborhood who have recently become :cer,ttd about. tha doveiopment of the Srondywood Park .

Per our discussions with members of the park planning committee, we now look forward to assisting in the development of the park according to the plan. Per our discussions, Friday, June 30, 1995, it was established that the basketball court would be put on hold until the funds were available to complete it. This will entail leaving the existing tree stands until the funds are available. We also understand that it has been acknowledged that the final park plan neglected to include a wetland area behind 6522 White Oak. This slightly changes the tree clearing lines of the s� park, but these changes were effected by the park board without causing concerns to the overall plan. It was also agreed that should parking problems develop in the future, these will be addressed in a timely fashion. (ie. residential parking only areas) Lastly, we as a group look forward to working with Mr. Asleson and the park board in any reforestation project that may be available. We appreciate the promptness with which our concerns were addressed, and look forward to working together with the neighborhood in making the Brandywood Park an area that both children and adults can enjoy. 6 To the Lino Lakes City Council, We the undersigned represent a group of homeowners in the Brandywood Estates neighborhood who have recently become very concerned about the development of the Brandywood Park. We represent 8 households who are directly effected by the park development and feel that there are concerns of ours that have not been fully addressed to our satisfaction. (See attached plot map for home locations) We have the following concerns: 1. ) We are concerned that there have been variations from the plan as presented at the park board meeting many of us attended on 5/15/95. 2. ) We do not feel that parking and traffic issues have been fully considered and we are very concerned that this will have a very negative impact on our quality of life and home market value. 3. ) We are concerned about the ambiguity of future plans (i.e. , ballfield, lighting, parking) and have been unable to get any specific satisfactory assurances as to our concerns on this issue. 4.) We feel that recently we were left with the impression that there would be no formalization of the Brandywood Park in the future because of future plans of the rec center on Holly street and County Road J. Specifically mentioned in one of the prior meetings. 5. ) We feel that recently decisions have been centered on amenities and aesthetics . (i.e. jungle gyms, slides, basketball. ) This was done at the expense of broader neighborhood safety, security/traffic and "quality of life" concerns not only of those whose lives are directly affected by the park project but the neighborhood as a whole. 6. ) Lastly our group feels that recently we have not had the opportunity to be involved in the park process and we would like to make sure our concerns can be addressed while assuring everyone can work together in the future. We would like to know what the urgency to forge ahead has been at the expense of the more pressing concerns that we have on how this project and how it will affect our lives. • a We would like to ask the council for an extension of time in order to resolve some of the issues we have raised that deeply concern us . We appreciate the patience and cooperation Mr. Marty Asleson has shown in his understanding of our concerns and look forward to his continued input and his assistance in addressing the above concerns.
