The Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55014 (651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 January 29, 2002 TO: Park Board Members FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director SUBJECT: Review Stoneybrook Preliminary Plat The proposed Stoneybrook Preliminary Plat is located on the south side of Birch Street and approximately 1/4 mile west of Centerville Road (Andy Cardinal property). The total area is approximately 78 acres of which 54 acres is upland. The proposal is R1X Single Family Homes and consists of 111 lots. Since this property is located outside the anticipated urban development limits, the Comprehensive Parks and Trail System Plan does not address the parks and trails needs for this area. From a park area standpoint, the nearest existing park is Pheasant Hills Park, which is located on the north side of Birch Street. The closest park area is the future recreation complex located at the southeast corner of Centerville Road and Birch Street. This is approximately 1/4 mile from the eastern edge of the Stoneybrook Development. In addressing the neighborhood park needs for the proposed development the Park Board can consider two options: 1. Request that 10 percent of the upland (5.4 acres) be dedicated as park. This would serve as the neighborhood park for the entire development. Based on topography and wetlands directly to the east, as well as a St. Paul Water utility easement, it would be difficult to locate a park area along the eastern edge to connect to future parkland when the property to the west develops. 2. Designate the future recreation complex as this area's neighborhood park. This would result in a 100 percent cash contribution which based upon today's Park Dedication Ordinance is $1,665 per unit (111 lots X $1,665 = $184,816). From a trails perspective the Comprehensive Park and Trail System Plan indicates a bike route (Class III Transportation Trail paved shoulder) along the southern edge of Birch Street. • • • However with the future development of the Recreation Complex, it may make sense to attempt to establish a trail corridor along the southern edge of Birch Street whenever possible. This would provide separation from the vehicular traffic and pedestrian users, similar to the north side of Birch Street. If the Park Board concurs with this concept, we may need to request that the Engineering Department determine whether there is adequate right -of -way along Birch Street to establish a trail separated from the roadway. If not, the city would need to request additional right -of -way along Birch Street. sw /parkbrd/meeting information/Review Stoneybrook Preliminary Plat.doc R 476 r - -Coat ■e of the ST ■/4 0l Sec. 27 E 5 C E P T 1 0 N 2643.19 4 15.708 9316 (16,516 .14.) ry�i� 3 % "•• 4221 1411. 1 ' /(11A7{ q7L% 4 ' 13,269 .q.lt•. 14.643 164E (12.062 ayn) DUOS 1166.)

Despite the 40+ degree temperature and severe lack of snow, almost 170 people showed up to participate in this year's event. We were able to offer almost all of our originally planned activities. The only activity we could not offer was cross - country skiing. YOUTH PROGRAMS Youth Instructional - Our winter session youth instructional programs are off to a good start. Many of our classes reached their capacity this season. We anticipate promoting programs such as Martial Arts even more to ensure additional growth. WAFD Trips - Our one and only ski trip of the season took place on Friday, January 25. Twenty -two •youth participated in this trip. Our ski trip attendance numbers have been dropping over the years. We are debating whether or not to continue offering them in the future. ADULT PROGRAMS 5- Player Basketball - Twelve teams are currently participating in this program - which is now in mid - season. This is the maximum number of teams allowed due to a location change from a court at the White Building to a smaller court at the Red Building. OPEN GYM PROGRAMS Our open gym programs, Open Basketball, Open Volleyball and Family Open Gym, are operating smoothly. Weekly attendance in these programs has been steady. WARMINGHOUSES The shelters are suffering through this unseasonably warm winter. At one point during the season all shelters were closed for almost a week due to the above freezing temperatures. When open, attendance at the shelters has been good. ACTIVITIES GUIDE We are currently working on our Spring Activities Guide which is scheduled to be out in homes the last week of February. We are ocontinually making improvements to this guide and welcome your suggestions and comments. Ice Fishing at Snow Day Questions? Please contact Liz Bursack or Barry Bernstein at 651- 982 -2440.

January 25, 2002 TO: Park Board Members FROM: Mike Hoffman, Parks Supervisor SUBJECT: January Maintenance Update Go figure, another January day with temperatures in the 40's. As I'm sure you are aware, maintaining skatable ice has been a challenge. With record high temperatures a possibility for this weekend our rinks will certainly take another hit. Maintenance Highlights for January • Rink Maintenance — Staff has been working voluntary shift changes to try to perform maintenance during the coldest part of the day. (4am — 9am) ♦ Maintaining rink shelters ♦ Equipment maintenance. • Assisting Public Works with snow removal as needed. • Removal of dead and hazardous trees at Woods of Baldwin Park. • Planning for 2002 fertilizer and chemical purchases. • Planning for landscaping and playground installation at Clearwater Creek Park. Those are January's highlights. See you in February. sw /parkbrd/Mike Hoffman/January 02 Update.doc • • • CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEMBERS TERMS MEMBER George Lindy, Chair 6823 E Shadow Lake Dr. Lino Lakes, MN 55014 H) 651 429 -3970 W) 651 426 -8088 Fax) 651 426 -1871 Pamela Taschuk 467 Post Road Lino Lakes, MN 55014 H) 651 780 -0696 W) 612 861 -9800 Paul Montain 6510 Centerville Road Lino Lakes, MN 55038 H) 651 653 -0859 W) 651 762 -2871 Fax)651 762 -2885 William Kusterman 744 Country Lakes Drive Lino Lakes, MN 55014 H) 651 490 -9865 W) 612 371 -8370 Pat Huelman, Vice Chair 570 Lonesome Pine Trail Lino Lakes, MN 55014 H) 651 484 -1427 W) 612 624 -1286 Katie Boyle 6643 Sherman Lake Road Lino Lakes, MN 55038 H) 651 407 -8378 W) 612 617 -1075 Michael O'Connor 6713 Clearwater Creek Drive Lino Lakes, MN 55038 H) 651 653 -9632 W) 763 592 -2562 1/8/02 sw /parkbrd /members terms.doc DATE APPOINTED January, 1982 March, 1999 February, 1994 January, 2000 March, 1996 March, 1999 May, 2000 March, 1998 January, 2001 January, 2002 January, 2001 TERM EXPIRES December 2004 December 2002 December 2004 December 2002 December 2003 December 2004 December 2003 • 2002 LINO LAKES PARK BOARD - PARK LIAISONS PARK 2002 Arena Acres Park Paul Behm's Century Farm Park Bill Birch Park Pat Birchwood Acres /Park Grove Bill Brandywood Park George City Hall Park Bill Clearwater Creek Park Michael Country Lakes Park Katie LaMotte Park Paul Lino Park Pat Marshan Park Pam Pheasant Hills Park Katie Quail Ridge Park George Rice Lake Estates Park Pam Shenandoah Park Pat Sunrise Park Paul Sunset Oaks Park Pam Wenzel Farm Park Pam Woods of Baldwin Lake Park Michael Woolan's Park Paul 2002 Community Service Awards Committee Bill sw /parkbrd /02 Park liaisons (members).doc •
