The proposed parks and trail amenities are as follows: Park - Outlot B (13.5 acres). The proposed park area consists of a significant amount of wetland as well as a 90' power line easement. The park area does have road frontage at three different areas and will provide good access from different areas of the development. Given the ditch, the power line easement, and the wetlands, we need to insure there is a suitable area for development consisting of contiguous, usable upland. It appears there is possible room for park expansion near the northwest area of the park, perhaps up to the ditch line. Trail A - An 8' wide bituminous trail along the southern edge of Carl Street. Carl Street is classified as a collector street. Trail B - A trail that begins in the southeast corner of the proposed development that extends the platted trail in the Behm's Century Farm 5th Addition adjacent to the Lino Air Park. The trail continues through the proposed park area providing access to the proposed park from Carl Street and continues northward to the northern limits. The trail would also provide direct park access from the northern most street. Trail C - A trail beginning at the eastern limits of proposed development and moves westward into the proposed park area. This would also provide an access to the park via the road directly east of the proposed park area. The proposed trail is located in close proximity to the existing power line. Mr. John Johnson from Metro Land Surveying and Engineering will be present at the Park Board Meeting to provide more detailed information and answer any questions the Park Board may have. sw /parkbrd/meeting information/Review Behm's Century Farm 6`s -10`s Additions — Preliminary Plat.doc PHASE p1 anndJ PHASE E 2 EQUALS V 1 H A✓D OUTLOT B NCLUDEO N 6TH ADDmON 6TH ADD. 54 LOTS 7TH ADD. 28 LOTS 8T1-I ADD. 26 LOTS 9TH ADD. 24 LOTS 10TH ADD. 24 LOTS E1 156 TOTAL LOTS -- ---------------- e�- RECEIVED JUL 1. 5 2002 CITY OF LINO LAKES - --IT - -- -- -- II-- ,I o� n 1 � rc5 1-- -1-- -� 1 1 1 I I I ! --- r. - - - -.- Ii WPM UNWAY SAFETY AREA • RUNWAY = _ _ 1 ----- - - - - -- PH1 Patriotic Tattoos at the Playground Patriotic Party - July 3, 2002 Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation ; -��,` 'I bepartmerit n .o Qo� o, Program Highlights - July Park Board Update YOUTH Summer Playground Program: Playgrounds are coming to a close and will officially end on August 1.

This will allow us to devote more time to improvement projects vs. daily game preparation. Maintenance highlights during a very busy July have included: > Daily ballfield preparation. > Soccer field maintenance. > Weekly garbage collection. > Mowing and trimming of all park areas. > Party wagon delivery and pickup. > Staked trees recently planted in Clearwater Creek Park. > Playground inspections. > Weed whipped boardwalk areas. > City Hall Park Sign — rebuilt planting bed (new landscape block, fabric, and decorative mulch). > Applied summer fertilizer application (same locations as June application). > Irrigation system repair and maintenance. > Core aerification of all athletic fields and irrigated turf. > Tree and stump removal for Timberwolf Trail project (contracted). > Flail mowing of trails and some park areas. And finally, playground installed at Clearwater Creek Park! Park maintenance staff took advantage of dry weather days to complete the install. Work included: > Footing layout. > Digging footings, setting proper depth. > Equipment assembly. > Poured footings. > Completed drain tile (contractor). > Installed fabric liner. > Installed rubber pads and fibar. > Poured concrete sidewalk, bench pads, and gazebo pad (contractor). Work remaining includes backfill of all concrete, bench install, gazebo installation and painting, • reshaping of remaining berms and completion of tree and shrub planting. Those are July's major highlights. See you in August. sw /mike/July 02 Park Update.doc • • • CITY OF IN KE Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55014 (651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 July 30, 2002 TO: Park Board Members FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director SUBJECT: Birch Park Trail Update As indicated in my July 12, 2002 memo, the lowest submitted bid is $106,632. To date the designated park dedication fund amounts to $75,000. Taking into account all associated project costs including the above bid, engineering, legal fees, and easement acquisition are approximately $135,000. This leaves a shortfall of $60,000. Mr. Richard Gray, Landscape Architect of TKDA, and I have reviewed this issue and have looked at several options including whether to modify the bid proposal, re -bid the project, or to accept the low bid. We considered modifying several line items such as omitting the load testing of piers and omitting the grouting of pier shafts. Several substitutes such as using poured concrete rather than pavers on the stairs and open areas were considered. However, the identified cost savings are marginal and will detract the aesthetics of the project and its longevity. After considering several options, I am recommending that we proceed with the project and award the bid to Global Specialty Contractors, Inc. with a base bid amount of $106,632. This will require designating approximately $60,000 of undesignated park dedication funds for the Birch Park trail project. There is currently $98,954 in undesignated funds. Also, the city has received $113,725 in park dedication fees for the developments (Trappers Crossing, Royal Pines, Gemini Estates) that will utilize this trail segment to access Birch Park. If the Park Board concurs with my recommendation, this item will be discussed at the August 12 City Council Meeting. sw /parkbrd/meeting information/Birch Park Trail Update 7- 29- 02.doc • • C 1 T Y =i �� ,,,° 0 F IN KE Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55014 (651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 July 29, 2002 TO: Park Board Members PROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director SUBJECT: Woods of Baldwin Lake Park Playground Equipment Update As was discussed at last month's Park Board Meeting the playground structure at Woods of Baldwin Lake Park was set on fire. I received a call last week from our claims adjuster who indicated that the city will be receiving a check for $8,870.61 to replace the equipment. This includes the city's $500 deductible. Staff will be working with the manufacturer to replace the damaged portions of the playground structure. sw /parkbrd/meeting information/Woods of Baldwin Lake Park Playground Equipment Update 7- 29- 02.doc
