LEGACY AT WOOD'S EDGE UPDATE (THE VILLAGE):
Community Development Director Grochala advised in 1998 the City
of Lino Lakes, following award of a metropolitan Council Livable
Communities Planning Grant, retained the services of Calthorpe
Associates to design a Master Plan for the City's Town Center
District. The purpose of the Lino Lakes "Town Center"
development is to provide for the orderly and integrated
development of a high - quality Town Center which includes a mix of
shops, offices, entertainment, housing, recreation, community
facilities and open space. The mix of uses is designed to
implement the principles of the Livable Communities Act and the
City's Comprehensive Plan by creating a Town Center for the
community and providing more diverse, life -cycle housing- -
including affordable and rental housing -- within an active and
interesting pedestrian- oriented community. The development is a
cooperative effort that will leverage public and private
investment to create sustainable value, ecologically,
economically and culturally.
The City has concentrated its efforts to implement this plan on
the land located adjacent to the Civic Complex, of which,
approximately 6.7 acres has been reserved for the Chain of Lakes
YMCA.

Park Board Meeting - February 2, 2004
Minutes
Community Development Director Grochala stated the staff would
like Park Board involvement in the park development. The City
has retained the services of Short, Elliot, Hendrickson, Inc., to
prepare the infrastructure plans for the development including
the "Community Green ". A conceptual layout of the community
green has been prepared which includes a large central green
space, seasonal gardens, as well as a performance canopy. The
green is intended to serve as a location for community events
such as a farmers market or art fair.
The "accessible commons" area, within the residential district,
will be developed in conjunction with the specific plan review
for that area. Staff is currently working with the developer and
the YMCA to allow for joint use of the area.
A pedestrian /bicycle trail is proposed to be extended along Town
Center Parkway and through the proposed YMCA property, to connect
with the Regional Park. Anoka County Parks is committed to
working with City staff to coordinate the City's trail extension
with future trail improvements within the regional park.
Community Development Director Grochala noted the park dedication
will be a combination of both land and cash. The dollar amount
has not been finalized at this time. However, it is anticipated
that cash payments will be used to develop the parks and trail
system within the project area.
Economic Development Assistant Divine reviewed the background of
the project planning noting it is intended that the project
incorporate great diversity in housing, commercial and retail
areas. The goal is a lot of activity and liveliness. That goal
will be accomplished by bringing in many different types of uses
to the area. The community green will serve as a gathering place
for residents of the community.
Economic Development Assistant Divine reviewed the project plans
in detail noting the trails within the project will be connected
to the trails in the Regional Park. Other park areas within the
project include open spaces and green space with natural grass
and plantings. There will also be a small park within the
townhouse area. The YMCA will program activities with the City
and will also include a teen center open to all teens in the
area.
Economic Development Assistant Divine stated staff is looking
forward to any ideas the Park Board has for the community green.
Chair Lindy asked if the Park Dedication would include fees from
the City property. Community Development Director Grochala
advised staff has not yet determined the final park dedication

Minutes
numbers. The park dedication will be based on the City owned
property as well as the privately owned property. Staff is
working on how to apply park dedication to the mixed uses on the
project.
Chair Lindy asked if other smaller communities like Lino Lakes
have similar developments. Economic Development Assistant Divine
stated she believes the White Bear Lake downtown area is similar.
Newer developments have tried to incorporate all the different
types of uses but have not utilized all components of the plan.
The trails within this type of development are key to making the
project work.
Community Development Director Grochala stated staff will look
for guidance from the Park Board when going over details of the
community green and the townhouse park.
Chair Lindy asked how close the trails in the Regional Park
system are currently. Community Development Director Grochala
stated there are mowed trails behind City Hall that go all the
way to the Regional Park. It is anticipated that those trails
will eventually be paved. There will also be a bike trail along
Town Center Parkway to the YMCA. Anoka County will work with the
City on their trail connections when the City gets to that point
in the project.
Pat inquired about the relationship between this development and
the three other quadrants in the area. Community Development
Director Grochala stated some of the quadrants will be fragmented
such as the Target area. The other two quadrants are planned for
commercial and the City hopes to link them together. It is
anticipated that there will be a bike trail going over the bridge
when it is reconstructed. There is land set aside on the Target
site for bike trail development at some point in the future.
Community Development Director Grochala stated he would keep Rick
informed on the project. It is intended that the development
will take care of all park costs.
RECREATION DEPARTMENT UPDATE:
Rick referred to the Program Highlights Flyer from January 2004.
He noted 160 people attended the Snow Day event, which was held
on Saturday, January 24 at Wargo Nature Center. This attendance
number is much higher than last year, but still not as high as it
was the first couple years of the event.
Over 120 people are currently signed up for the preschool
parent /child Sweetheart Dance that will be held on Valentines Day
(Saturday, February 14) at Centennial Elementary School. The
first Community Outing this year is "I Do! I Do!" on Valentines

Day. Participants will watch the Minnesota Showboats production
and have lunch at Forepaugh's Restaurant. Approximately thirty
participants are signed up for this trip.
Rick advised nine teams are participating in the Adult 5- Player
Basketball program which is no in mid - season. Fitness programs
Cardio Kick Boxing and Yoga saw significant increases in
enrollment this season.
The warming house shelters are operating effectively this winter.
There have been very few complaints over the closure of the
warming houses.
Rick noted the spring edition of the Recreation Review would be
in homes the last week of February.
Pam asked if the City is offering the Options Program again this
summer. Rick advised the Options Program will be offered again
this year at the same location as last year.
PARKS DEPARTMENT UPDATE:
Rick reviewed a memo from Mike Hoffman, Parks Supervisor, which
summarizes the maintenance highlights for January 2004. Rick
noted the maintenance activities have included daily rink
maintenance that includes sweeping, blowing, shoveling and
flooding of all the City's rinks.
Staff has also been assisting the Street Department with plowing
of parking lots, sidewalks, streets, cul -de -sacs and trails after
snow events. Twenty bluebird houses have been constructed and
will be placed in City parks and trails.
Rick added the annual employee performance reviews have been
conducted and went very well.
NEW BUSINESS:
Appoint Park Liaisons and Community Service Award Committee -
Rick advised each year the Park Board designates a park liaison
for each neighborhood park. He referred to a list of year 2003
Park Liaison List as a reference. He noted a Community Service
Award Committee Member also should be appointed. Michael
O'Connor was the Park Board Representative in 2003.
Rick explained when neighborhood meetings occur that relate to a
certain park, that Park Liaison should be present. A Park
Liaison also gives residents someone other than City staff to
discuss problems, concerns, frustrations, or compliments in
relation to City parks.

OLD BUSINESS:
Discuss and Approve 2004 Park Board Goals - Chair Lindy advised
the Park Board would be going to a different meeting room to view
maps and to further discuss the 2004 Park Board Goals.
Rick distributed additional information on the sale of LaMotte
Park and the possible trails serving the Stoneybrook development.
Recent implementation of the new Anoka County Standards relating
to the placement of trails along county roads has resulted in
substantial increases of project costs.
After further discussion of the Park Board Goals, it was
determined that Rick would meet with Anoka County Parks and
Recreation Department to further discuss various trail segments
along Birch Street. Rick indicated he will provide additional
information regarding this issue at the March Park Board meeting.
The tentative date to discuss the 2004 Park Board Goals with the
City Council is at the March 3, 2004 Work Session.

TO: Park Board Members
FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director
SUBJECT: Adopt 2004 Park Board Goals for City Council Consideration
Listed below are the tentative Park Board Goals based on discussions the past few months:
Please keep in mind that the estimated project costs are preliminary.
• Extending Glenview Trail to Sunrise Park parking lot $ 3,000
• Pave Birch Park Trail- Boardwalk to parking lot $ 5,000
• Designate Raven's Hollow Park Dedication Funds to future $85,240
Birchwood Acres Park development
• Construct trails at Birch Street \Hodgson Road intersection $50,000
• Holly Drive pole relocation for new trail $10,000
• Survey Arena Acres residents regarding existing tennis courts
The following summarizes the possible trail project projects along Birch Street that have been
discussed at the January and February Park Board Meetings.
Birch Street — North Side from Black Duck Drive to Pheasant Hills Drive
The estimated project cost is $237,000. This project will necessitate the extension of two 88"
concrete arch pipes near Quail Ridge Park that must maintain the flow of water during
construction. Several retaining walls to facilitate the trail construction are also included in
project estimate. The estimated project costs do not adhere to the County's new standards of a
22' buffer zone from a rural roadway to the trail. Further discussions with Anoka County would
need to occur to determine whether this project is acceptable. If Anoka County is unwilling to
deviate from the 22' wide buffer zone on rural road sections, curb and gutter and storm sewer
would need to be installed, since several areas along Birch Street do not provide adequate space
to construct a trail with a 22' wide buffer (steep slopes, wetlands areas, etc). I met with Jon
Vondelinde, Anoka County Parks and Recreation Director and Nick Eeloff, Anoka County Parks
Planner last week to discuss the proposed trail project. Both have indicated their support to work
with City staff when discussing this project with the Anoka County Highway Department.
•
•
•
•
Birch Street - Sherman Lake Road to Centerville Road
The purpose of this trail project is an attempt to provide safe pedestrian access for the future
residents of the Stoneybrook Development. The estimated project costs while maintaining a 22'
clear buffer zone on both sides of Birch Street is $220,000. Approximately $70,000 of the
project cost is to provide curb and gutter along about 500' of the project to reduce the clear zone
from 22' to 10', thereby reducing the impact on the wetlands. The estimated project costs if we
are not mandated to adhere to the 22' buffer zone is $158,000. Again Jon Vondelinde and Nick
Eeloff have expressed their support for our plans.
George Lindy, Park Board Chair is scheduled to present the proposed 2004 Park Board Goals at
the Wednesday, March 3 City Council Work Session.

From: Barry Bernstein, Recreation Program Supervisor
Subject: Warming house shelter season report
I have enclosed the attendance figures for the two shelters that were staffed with rink
attendants this past season of 2003 -2004. You will notice that Birch Park had very similar
attendance figures as last season while Sunrise Park attendance figures grew from last season.
It was determined to cease the warming house functions at Lino Park and City Hall Park for
this season. The Parks and Recreation Department did not field any communications from the
Lino Park neighborhood. The Parks and Recreation Department did however field two
communications from people who reside on the north side of the city.
The Park Board may wish to consider eliminating an hour per night at each of the existing
shelters and transfer these hours to operating City Hall Park as a staffed warming house next
season. This would eliminate the later hours that were of low attendance and allow City Hall
Park to once again be open for the general public. The fourteen hours would not be sufficient
to operate City Hall on a full time basis, but the Parks and Recreation Department could open
this shelter part time such as Thursday- Sunday. This season the shelter was only opened upon
request from hockey associations, boy scouts or neighborhood gatherings.

Youth Instructional: Our winter youth instructional programs are underway.
Classes were cancelled on February 2 due to bad weather and the school
districts decision to close all buildings for the evening.
Field Trips: Our next set of outings will take place over Spring Break week
(March 29 - April 2). Each day will consist of morning activities at Centennial
Elementary and an afternoon trip. Trips planned include Eagles Nest, Grand
Slam, Tropics, bowling at Flaherty's and a movie at White Bear Township.
Snack and Skate: These outdoor lessons have become very popular. The number of participants increased to the point
of needing two instructors. We have been fortunate to have the same enthusiastic instructors for the past three years -
they have done a wonderful job!
Hockey Skills Development: Volunteer and paid coaches teach participants hockey skills in this program. This program
is not as large as other programs, but the young participants have a positive hockey experience.

Sweetheart Dance: Approximately 209 children and adults were in attendance for our 3rd Annual CLUB (Centennial and
Lino Lakes Unite with Blaine) Sweetheart Dance that was held on Saturday, February 14 at Centennial Elementary.
Participants enjoyed music by Mar -Kit DJ service, a craft project, refreshments and photo opportunities.
Adult Team Basketball: The season is winding down, but some teams will be participating in a post season playoff.
Indoor Soccer: We are currently accepting registrations for this program, however, this season we will be reducing the
number of teams from 8 to 6/7 due to the youth indoor soccer program's need for additional turf time.
Adult Softball: The registration period for returning teams is open. It is anticipated that all our leagues will fill. We can
accommodate 64 teams in five different leagues.
Warming Houses: The warming house season began on December 30, 2003 and closed on February 20, 2004. This
was a more traditional season in the sense of weather. There were no significant closings due to warm or cold
temperatures, although we did close early a few times due to extreme subzero
temperatures. A detailed report is included in this report. Next season we may
see another reduction in the number of shelters open and hours of operation.
This reduction is not due to attendance, but limitations with allocated funds
necessary to operate this program as in the past. In order to reopen City Hall
Park, we may look at reducing hours at other shelters.

SUBJECT: February Maintenance Update
February has been a pretty boring month in terms of variety of tasks performed. Maintenance
activity has included:
o Daily rink maintenance — sweeping, blowing, shoveling, and flooding as needed.
• o Snow plowing — February has been a pretty snowy month and a lot of time has been spent
plowing roads, trails, parking lots, and rinks.
o Snow blowing — the amount of snow we've seen in late January and in February has
required us to do a lot of snow blowing with our Case skid loader and Erskine blower.
We use the blower primarily for widening trails when the banks get too high to plow.
This machine also does a great job of clearing rinks and removing snow in parking lots.
o Building maintenance — cleaning shelters as needed.
o Equipment maintenance — as needed.
o Attended pesticide recertification training and school of turf grass management.
Those are the major highlights for February. Not a lot of variety just a lot of snow removal.
Bring on spring!

SUBJECT: Joint Meeting with Environmental Board on March 31, 2004
City staff has set up a Joint meeting with the Environmental Board and the Park Board on
Wednesday, March 31, 2004 at 6:30pm in the Community Room. The purpose of this meeting is
to update the board members on the Comprehensive Parks, Recreation Facilities, Open
Space /Greenways, and Trail System Plan project. Mr. Jeff Schoenbauer of Brauer and
Associates has been retained to coordinate this project.
This will also provide an opportunity for the Environmental Board Members and Park Board
Members to provide input in several areas such as reviewing citywide open space, greenways-
parks, and trail issues. It is anticipated that the Park Board will continue to be involved
throughout the various phases of the project. The final draft plan will be presented to the City
Council, Environmental Board, and Park Board at a joint work session, perhaps in May or June.
This meeting will take the place of our regularly scheduled April 5 Park Board meeting. Any
items related to the Park Board agenda will be addressed at the conclusion of the joint meeting.

FROM: Rick DeGar ner, Public Services Director
SUBJECT: April Park Board Meeting Date Change
City staff has set up a Joint meeting with the Environmental Board and the Park Board on
Wednesday, March 31, 2004 at 6:30pm in the Community Room. The purpose of this meeting is
to update the board members on the Comprehensive Parks, Recreation Facilities, Open
Space /Greenways, and Trail System Plan project. Mr. Jeff Schoenbauer of Brauer and
Associates has been retained to coordinate this project.
This will also provide an opportunity for the Environmental Board Members and Park Board
Members to provide input in several areas such as reviewing citywide open space, greenways-
parks, and trail issues. It is anticipated that the Park Board will continue to be involved
throughout the various phases of the project. The final draft plan will be presented to the City
Council, Environmental Board, and Park Board at a joint work session, perhaps in May or June.
This meeting will take the place of our regularly scheduled April 5 Park Board meeting. Any
items related to the Park Board agenda will be addressed at the conclusion of the joint meeting.
If you have any questions please feel free to give me a call. I hope to see all of you at our next
Park Board meeting scheduled for Monday, March 1, 2004 at 6:30pm.

Marty Asleson, Environmental Coordinator
Ann Blair, City Clerk
