Chair Lindy stated he assumes the Council will leave it up to the Park Board as far as progressing the referendum process. The Council did mention a feasibility study. He asked if the Park Board should pursue that. Rick stated the Park Board first needs to find out if the Council wants to pursue a referendum. Once that is determined, there are options to explore relating to how the process should proceed. Chair Lindy stated the Park Board is looking for approval to proceed and a timeline. If the Council does approve a referendum, the Park Board needs to be prepared to move forward at the June Park Board meeting. Rick stated a referendum is a • • Park Board Meeting - April 2, 2001 Minutes huge undertaking. The process would include having 8 -10 area volunteers to form a committee to make the referendum work and make people aware of it. Pat stated the Park Board needs to contact people who have a big interest in the complex as well as residents. Bill inquired about the design cost estimate and asked if the City needs a better one. Rick advised the City does have an accurate costs estimate for the athletic complex. The question will be what else should be included in the referendum.

The City Council needs to look at the "big picture" and determine if this is the right time to pursue a referendum. Chair Lindy stated he does not believe the Council would have purchased the property if they did not have the goal of completing the project. The Council is aware of the referendum process. They want to be reasonably sure it will pass. 5 Park Board Meeting - April 2, 2001 Minutes Pat stated the Council is aware of the need for the complex. The timing of a referendum is the issue. Bill stated it needs to be made clear to the residents that a complex will never get built if a referendum does not pass. Pat added the Park Board needs to stress its commitment to the project also. He stated he is willing to put in extra time to get it done. Park Dedication Fee - Paul inquired about the proposed new Park Dedication Fee. Rick advised the City Council will be discussing the Park Dedication fee at the work session on Wednesday.

This 33.68 acre development is zoned R1 (single family residential) and consists of 70 lots. The preliminary plat indicates a trail corridor, depicted as Outlot A, connecting the development to Main Street. The developer has agreed to dedicate Outlot D for parkland, which is adjacent to the existing land for Highland Meadows Park. The balance of the developer's park dedication requirements will be paid in cash. A small portion of the existing Highland Meadows Park will be encroached to align Arlo Lane with the existing road in the Mardon Acres Development. This land will be deducted from the land credit received for dedicating Outlot D to fulfill park dedication requirements. The Highland Meadows West 3rd Addition preliminary plat was discussed at the March 5, 2001 Park Board meeting. The minutes are attached. Staff is recommending that the park dedication for the Highland Meadows West 3rd Addition consists of the dedication of Outlot A for trail purposes and the dedication of Outlot D to expand the existing Highland Meadows Park. The developer will grade and install aggregate per city specifications for the trail to be located within Outlot A. Also, Outlot A and Outlot D should be depicted on the final plat as "park ". The balance of the park dedication requirements will be cash. sw /parkbrd/meeting information/Review Highland Meadows West 3rd Addition Preliminary Plat.doc Park Board Meeting - March 5, 2001 Minutes The March 5, 2001 City of Lino Lakes Park Board meeting was called to order at 6:30pm, by Chair Lindy. Roll call was taken, members present were Pam Taschuk, Paul Montain, George Lindy, Chris Welsand, Bill Kusterman, Michael O'Connor, and Pat Huelman. No members were absent.

The minutes were approved with Paul Montain and George Lindy abstaining. SETTING THE AGENDA: Rick added Highland Meadows 3rd Addition Preliminary Plat to the agenda. The Agenda was passed as amended. OPEN MIKE: No one was present for open mike. HIGHLAND MEADOWS 3RD ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT: Rick advised he received a call from Mr. Troy Livguard today regarding a discussion of the preliminary plat for Highland Meadows 3rd Addition. Rick referred to a copy of the preliminary plat and asked for comments from the Park Board. Rick noted that four acres of parkland were acquired in the First Addition. The intent was to acquire more land for an eight -acre park area. The City was not able to acquire the additional four acres. Therefore, the park area will only be four acres. Pat inquired about the issue with Lot #4. Mr. Steve Schmidt, developer for the project, came forward and stated next to Lot #4 is the Judd property. He stated he would be dedicating Outlot B as parkland. The area still has to be graded. The Judd's have indicated they do not want park area right up to their house. The project may include acquiring that lot for a 20' sliver of land to buffer the Judd's. He noted that the Planning staff has indicated the prior park dedication was adequate. He stated there are substantial ponds in the First • Addition. Trails have been developed. The City Engineer has requested that Outlot A also be dedicated and a trail constructed to possibly connect with the northern portion of the area. 1 Park Board Meeting - March 5, 2001 Minutes • Paul inquired about the number of lots on the number of acres of land • Mr. Schmidt replied the plan calls for 65 lots on 27% acres. There are eight existing homes. Rick inquired about additional parkland being taken to realign Arlo Lane. Mr. Schmidt advised no additional parkland will be taken. The alignment will be pushed to the north. Paul inquired about the schedule for the project. Mr. Schmidt advised he hopes to have the plan approved by May 2001. The project would then be built out within one year. Paul asked if the traffic will go out to Marilyn Drive to Lake Drive. Mr. Schmidt advised the traffic will go out 79th Street down to Arlo Lane over to Wood Duck. The plan will take seven access points off of Main Street. Paul asked if the main access off of Main Street will go through Bluebill Ponds. Mr. Schmidt verified that the main access will go through Bluebill Ponds. Paul expressed concern regarding the additional traffic and pedestrian safety with the addition of 65 homes. He inquired about the amount of the cash dedication. Rick advised he is not familiar with the cash dedication numbers. He stated he would like the City to look at acquiring Outlot B and Lot 1, Block #4 because the park area has been reduced to four acres. The trail access to Main Street on the north end is another important issue. The City Engineer will need to address traffic issues. Pat stated there may be enough additional traffic to justify a trail being developed to access the park. He expressed concern regarding pedestrians crossing Arlo Lane. Rick asked Mr. Schmidt if street signage issues have been addressed yet. 2 • • • Park Board Meeting - March 5, 2001 Minutes Mr. Schmidt replied the signage issues have not yet been addressed. The whole plan has been designed to eliminate the accesses on Main Street. Rick stated he will pass along the Park Board's concerns to the City Engineer relating to crossing Arlo Lane. Mr. Schmidt stated there will be an easement across the lot to get to Outlot A. The City intends to black top the easement. There will also be a four way stop at Marilyn. There are trails in the First Addition through the ponds. Chair Lindy stated it would be nice to review the project ahead of time to address all concerns. Rick advised all City Boards will review the plan during the preliminary plat process. Pat stated anything that can be done to enhance the park area and size is a good idea. Paul stated his concerns relate to trail connections, park size, and Outlot B, which are outside the developer's responsibility. REVIEW PARK AND TRAIL DEDICATION STUDY: Rick referred to an updated draft copy of the Park and Trail Study conducted by Northwest Associated Consultants Inc. He noted there were some changes since the preliminary draft was sent out to Park Board members earlier this month. Rick asked for comments from Park Board members noting that the City Council will be discussing this topic within the next few months. He briefly reviewed the recommendations outlined in the report. Paul stated he does not agree with the recommendation regarding commercial /industrial park dedication fees. He stated the City needs to be very cautious about dropping those fees. The City needs to be increasing park dedication fees. Pat asked about the City's feeling regarding cash contributions being made at the time of the final plat. Rick advised that option does make sense because it takes into account the profit being made from the land. It would be beneficial to the City and the law does support that type of dedication. Pat asked if there has been any experience regarding the per unit charge. He expressed concern relating to developers questioning or negotiating that type of park dedication fee. 3 SITE HIGHLAnD MEADOWS WEST 3RD ADDITION 6 8 MAIN STREET —C.R. 14 LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA PRELIMINARY PLAT EXHIBITS FOR TSM DEVELOPMENT 222 MONROE STREET, ANOKA, MN 55303 PHONE: (763) 576 -9121 FAX: (763) 576 -9122 79111 3.

A brief history was presented that outlined the city's attempts • to provide a skate park facility for residents. On May 7, 2001 I met with Dr. John Christiansen, Superintendent of the Centennial School District. After our discussion I was optimistic that the school district would be receptive to providing a 50'x 50' area at the Centennial Middle School for the city to provide a skate park facility. I explained that the city is willing to incur all costs associated with a skate park facility including purchase of the equipment, setup and takedown, maintenance, and a willingness to indemnify the school district from liability. Unfortunately, on May 18, I was informed that that school district was not interested in providing an area for a skate park due to concerns related to potential vandalism. It appears a skate park facility will not come to fruition until the athletic complex is developed. sw /parkbrd /meeting information /Skate Park Update.doc • Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department Program Highlights - May Park Board Update YOUTH Youth Instructional: Many of our spring programs are winding down and/or coming to a close this month. Floor Hockey Mini Camp and Soccer Mini Camp both concluded this month and Dance will conclude the first week in June. Floor Hockey and Soccer Mini Camps will resume again in the fall while Dance will continue throughout the summer. Registration is currently taking place for our summer instructional programs. Registration numbers in many of these instructional programs including Soccer Fundamentals, T -ball and Golf have increased from previous years. Summer Playground Program & Preschool Playtime: Summer Playgrounds will begin on June 18. Registration is a bit slower than it has been in the past, but we feel that this is a result of the late spring/ summer weather. We will continue to accept registrations for this program throughout the summer. Preschool Playtime registration has reached capacity - both classes are full. Options: Options, our cooperative program with the YMCA, is close to filling. Our maximum is 60 participants and we are currently at 58. A small challenge for our Options group this summer is the fact that they will be sharing the Rice Lake Elementary School facility with Kid's Club. However, we have been communicating regularly with Kid's Club and feel confident that this will not cause any problems. CLUBS: CLUBS has a whole lineup of trips planned for this summer to exciting destinations: Valleyfair, Twins Game, Crystal Cave, Wild Mountain, MN Zoo, St. Louis Park Aquatic Park, and Grand Slam! ADULT Softball: Softball registration is consistent with past years. SUMMER PROGRAMMING The Parks and Recreation Department is in full gear for the summer programming period. We are offering many new and expanded programs. However, without additional facilities, it will be difficult to accommodate or plan future additional programs. ACTIVITIES GUIDE The Summer Activities Guide is at the printer and will be mailed out the last week of May. This guide includes information on many our summer programs and our Performances in the Parks series. It also includes information on our Fall Soccer program and our * New* Tackle Football program. STOP AND SAY "HI" The Parks and Recreation Department would love to see Park Board members at any of our events this summer and throughout the year. If you are in attendance at an event, please be sure to stop and say "HI. " Questions?

Last week temperatures were in the 90's, this morning as I write this, the temperature is 37 °F and extremely wet. If the rain persists we may have to equip our mowers with floats. Maintenance activities during May have included: > Mowing of parks and athletic fields. IIIThis has been a challenge since none of our seasonals have started full time yet. Luckily, a few of our seasonals have been putting in some hours after school and on weekends. > Daily ballfield preparation. With softball and baseball programs in full gear, we have been game prepping an average of eight fields a day. With school still in session this sometimes poses a challenge. Many days we are unable to get on the school fields until school lets out. Thankfully, school will soon be done for the summer. > Soccer Field Maintenance. Ten fields have been laid out and painted. > Sunrise Park Entrance Sign. This Girl Scout Leadership Project is now complete and really improves the entrance to the park. Many thanks to Lisa and all who assisted on this project. > Sunrise Park Warminghouse. Another Girl Scout Project. The exterior of the building, including trim, has been painted. In addition the city logo has been painted on one side of the building. Many thanks to Esther Neu and all who assisted on this project. • ➢ Park Tree Planting: . 135 bare root trees were planted in the following parks: Behm's 17 Marshan 33 Wenzel Farms 3 Wenzel Farms Trail 10 Sunrise 21 Birchwood Acres 9 Rice Lake Estates 5 Birch 5 Pheasant Hills 6 City Hall 4 Sunset Oaks 22 All trees have been watered in and wood chip mulched. A special thanks goes out to the Friends of the Parks Foundation who donated over $1000.00 worth of plant material (50 trees) for this year's plantings. ➢ Purchase of JD4100 Tractor. This unit will become our primary ballfield groomer. In addition to the groomer we also added a tiller, front broom, and front blade making it a very versatile piece of equipment. It is so new and shiny I almost hate to get it dirty. ➢ Broadleaf Weed Control. Treated sites include Centennial Middle School, Rice Lake Elementary School, Sunrise Park, Birch Park, Marshan, Lino, City Hall, Rice Lake Estates, Behm's, Town Center, the Fire Station, and all well houses. ➢ Fence repair along trail in Miller's South Glen. ➢ Garbage Pickup. Those are May's major highlights. More to come in June. • is .

In November, 2000 the city reached an agreement with the Whitcombs to purchase two acres of land for $6,000. After several unsuccessful attempts to schedule a closing date, I was notified that the Whitcombs have decided not to sell the two acres of land to the city. Mr. Whitcomb indicates that if and when they decided to sell their land, they will sell the entire 20 acre parcel as one piece. It appears that the important trail connection to Birch Park will not happen in the near future unless the Park Board and City Council feel it is necessary to begin condemnation proceedings. If I hear that the Whitcombs are selling their property, I will notify the Park Board. sw /parkbrd /Misc.

Items included were Resolution 97 -30, council support to referendum, the referendum process overview, various Park Board meeting minutes, Spring, 1998 article in City Newsletter, program statement/cost analysis, estimated annual tax impact analysis, and check list for a successful referendum. The City Council discussed a potential bond referendum during the May 16, 2001 Goal Setting meeting. There was some interest to consider a possible bond referendum next spring. Staff and the City Council will continue to consider a potential referendum next year during the upcoming budget meetings. If the City Council approves pursuing a bond referendum next year, a commitment of General Fund dollars for a special election, informational materials, and consultants would need to be included in next year's budget. I will keep the Park Board informed as discussions related to a possible bond referendum continues. sw /parkbrd/meeting information/bond referendum update.doc • Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55014 (651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 May 30, 2001 TO: Park Board Members FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director SUBJECT: Behm's Farm Park Addition Update The City Council approved the preliminary plat for the Behm's Farm Park Addition at the May 29, 2001 City Council meeting.
