CONSENT
TO: City Council
FROM: Emily Becker, City Planner
AGENDA ITEM: Hammes Park Amenities Review
REVIEWED BY: Rob Weldon, Public Works Director
BACKGROUND:
The Hammes Estates 1st Addition Development Agreement indicated that the developer shall deposit as
escrow $107,554 to be held for park dedication that was owed for remaining parkland dedication (the
development required 7.8 acres of land, and 5.7 acres of parkland was provided), and that the developer
will receive credit for installation of a 16’ X 24’ shelter, picnic table, bike rack, grill station, retaining
wall, fishing pier, canoe rack, concrete hard surface, woodland seed mix restoration, landscaping and
parking lot improvements. The agreement also indicates that the City shall approve all improvements and
that the developer may use the remaining balance of escrow to install additional improvements in the park
upon City approval.
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL:
The Council is being asked to review and approve the proposed improvements to the park within the
Hammes Estates Development (Lakeridge Crossing).
PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS:
Proposed Improvements. The improvements provided by the developer are attached to this report. The
Parks Commission has in the past indicated that they would like to see a park shelter within the subject
park similar to that of Pebble Park. The developer has proposed ordering the a 16’ X 24’ version of the
Pebble Park shelter from the same supplier, which will have a 4” concrete slab that ties into the block
retaining wall. Because the shelter has a 10 week lead time for ordering, Staff has administratively
approved the shelter.
Public Works Director Comments. The Public Works Director has made the following comments:
• The Lake Elmo logo should be considered on the shelter.
• The boardwalk should be ADA compliant.
• Railing details must show treated lumber being used.
• Canoe rack should be black powder coated paint.
• Three trash cans should be provided that match tables, to be located off fishing pier, adjacent to
shelter, and near parking lot.
FISCAL IMPACT:

parkland dedication.

improvements to the park near Goose Lake in the Hammes Estates Development (Lakeridge Crossing). If
