The development contains 4 parcels totaling approximately 76 gross acres and consists of mix of residential housing types and commercial development. The proposed development is called Wilkinson Waters. The proposed project includes commercial retail space, two (2) – three-story 100-unit market rate multi-family buildings (including clubhouse, large communal green space, and additional amenities), 34 for-rent townhome units, 22 for sale townhome units, and one (1) – 100 unit senior living facility. Figure 10-2 of the 2024 Comprehensive Plan identifies this area as a Neighborhood Service area, with Neighborhood Park Area C conceptually located on the north side of Ash Street. With 356 residential units in this development and potentially more to the west in the future, the Park Board should consider designating a neighborhood park in this area. A minimum 30-40ft wide pedestrian way/trail connection should be made to Centerville Road, Ash Street, local public street, and public open space. In addition, a multi- functional greenway corridor with trails should be created. Lauren Grouws VP of Development for Wilkinson Waters LLC is present at the meeting. Mrs. Ballering asked if there was any objection from the community to this development. Mrs. Grouws stated this is the first board meeting the development has attended. Mr. DeGardner stated the purpose of this meeting was to discuss the park and trail issues. Mrs. Ballering asked if we have the resources to put in any new park system. Stated that the City Council hasn’t given the Park Board the funds to maintain the parks. Mr. DeGardner stated this development will generate park dedication fees for the City. Mrs. Schmidt asked what the closest park to this development is. Mr. DeGardner replied Birch Park and Tower Park. Mr. Kusterman also mentioned Brandywood Park. Mr. Huelman asked Mrs. Grouws about the demographic of the housing. She answered higher-end apartments. Mr. DeGardner asked if she anticipates a lot of families with young children. She replied maybe a lot of empty nesters but could also be families. Mrs. Schmidt discussed a prior development that proposed the HOA would create and maintain their park. Mr. DeGardner asked Mrs. Grouws what her perspective is on the identified 2.7 acres of upland and using that as a public park. She replied that needs to be discussed with the City. Park Board September 4, 2024 pg. 3 DRAFT MINUTES Mr. Huelman stated he would like cash park dedication fees. In the future, would like to think about recreational opportunities and trails for the 2.7 acres. Mr. Kusterman made a motion for cash in lieu of land. Mr. Gooder seconded. Motion carried 6 – 0 7. DISCUSSION ITEMS A. Marshan Park Email Mr. Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director stated a resident sent an email regarding some homeowners who have expressed an interest in a volleyball court and horseshoe pits for recreation at Marshan Park. Mr. Kusterman stated he would like to take care of some of the things that need to be done at Marshan Park before any other assets are added; remove the building and adding a bench for a former Park Board member. He likes the idea of adding more to Marshan Park. Mr. Gooder agrees with Mr. Kusterman. Mr. Kusterman thinks you need to conduct a neighborhood survey. Mr. Huelman we have bigger priorities right now, but in the future, we could remaster Marshan Park. 8. OLD BUSINESS Mr. Huelman discussed the presentation that was brought to the City Council in late June 2024. Mr. Gooder discussed the August City Council Work Session and the conservation the Council had. He stated the Mayor and Council were in favor of giving the Park Board funding from the surplus. He also stated the Council seems to understand the struggles the Park Board is having. What happens if we don’t receive more funding? Mrs. Ballering discussed the pickleball courts not being used in certain areas and being busy in others. Have to look into the age of the communities before assets are added. Mr. Huelman stated we can’t keep adding assets to each park. He sees a lot of pickleball and tennis players at Tower Park. He is confident City Council will provide funding in the future. Mrs. Cutts asked for the status of the new playground equipment at Birchwood Acres Park and Brandywood Park. Mr. DeGardner stated Brandywood Park is completed and installation at Birchwood Acres begins next week. 9. ADJOURNMENT Park Board September 4, 2024 pg. 4 DRAFT MINUTES Mr. Kusterman moved to adjourn the meeting. Motion seconded by Mr. Gooder. Meeting adjourned at 7:19 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Angela Thorson, Public Services Administrative Assistant DATE: October 2, 2024 TO: Park Board FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director RE: Wilkinson Waters PUD Concept Plan Review There was a misunderstanding on what parcels of the proposed Wilkinson Waters development were included in the current proposal under discussion. The proposed development contains the four parcels shown in color on the attached Land Use Plan sheet. This includes the wetlands parcel that the Park Board was interested in designating an approximately 2-3 acres upland area (indicated with a red circle) for a potential future park area. Staff is recommending the Park Board modify their recommendation to include dedicating the area described above for potential passive park area with the balance of park dedication fees in cash. 100 UN IT APARTMENT2412PROPOSED STREET12 2910209191056-PLEX11,256 SQ .

I informed Mr. Bennet that I would include his email in the October Park Board meeting packet. 1 Angie Thorson From:Sam Bennett <sbennett2011@outlook.com> Sent:Thursday, September 5, 2024 1:43 PM To:Rick DeGardner Subject:Re: Marshan Park Plans Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution. Thank you. I really do appreciate it. Which park is the best fit is a fair question and I am interested to hear feedback/input regarding that topic. I emailed a while back regarding an accessible park that was receiving funding from state partners. I believe it was intended to go towards tower park. Is there any information or updates that you can share regarding that topic? Best regards, Sam From: Rick DeGardner <RDegardner@linolakes.us>  Sent: Thursday, September 5, 2024 1:32 PM  To: Sam Bennett <sbennett2011@outlook.com>  Cc: Rick DeGardner <RDeGardner@linolakes.us>  Subject: RE: Marshan Park Plans Thanks for the email. I agree that sand volleyball courts would be a solid addition to the Lino Lakes Parks system, but not sure if Marshan Park would be a suitable spot since it is relatively small in size and is surrounded by homes in close proximity. I will provide your email to the Park Board at their Oct 2 meeting. Rick DeGardner Public Services Director 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55014‐1182 Direct 651‐982‐2444 rdegardner@linolakes.us   From: Sam Bennett <sbennett2011@outlook.com>   Sent: Thursday, September 5, 2024 1:27 PM  You don't often get email from sbennett2011@outlook.com.

Hello Rick and the Lino Lakes Park Board, I hope this email finds you well. While watching the 09/04/24 park board meeting, I wanted to reach out to show support for Lino Lakes outdoor volleyball courts. I do not know the extent of the email mentioned but it sounds like horseshoe and volleyball courts were primary topics. I do not have any input on the horseshoe option but I can say there is a group of Lino Lakes Residents that travel to Spring Lake Park or Centerville twice a week all summer long for the outdoor volleyball courts. Turnout varies but typically it is anywhere from 8-20 attendees (and we try to keep the invite list restricted because of limited space) each time. Additionally, the middle school host open gym for $7 each throughout the winter and this is even more crowded. I don't know if there is a specific amount of utilization the city looks at when planning such an endeavor but I can say with a high level of confidence that volleyball courts would see frequent guests. There are some obvious details that would need to be worked out, lights might possibly be the most significant factor. This time of year, we migrate to Kelly's Korner for that specific reason. Please let me know if there is anything I can help with on this topic. I know that cost is always a concern but I am confident that we could get a group of volunteers together willing to help if that is something that can be worked out. There has been discussion about adding a volleyball court to one of our own backyards but I think a nearby park would be preferable. I happen to live closer to Sunrise Park but it does not have the open space that Marshan does. I've long thought that if the hockey rinks could be used in the summer for volleyball courts that could be a really good utilization of space but I don't know the logistics that would go into something like that. In closing, I really want to reiterate the desire to have local volleyball courts and if it is something the city would support, we would be able to get a group of volunteers to help with the installation. It wouldn't specifically need to be at Marshan Park but I think the idea of hosting a fund raiser volleyball tournament on a weekend could be a really good option. Thank you for all that you do.
