New Business
a. Gonyea North Concept Plan (Zuleger)
Zuleger identified on the map where the new developments (Gonyea North and Wildflower Shores) would be
located. Craig Allen from Gonyea addressed the commission. Plan was brought to the planning commission on
March 10, and now presented to the park commission to get a global input on the plan. Allen’s understanding
is that they would like to emphasize some of the existing parks. G onyea did not include a park in the design,
because of the anticipated green space north of the development. Across the street will be larger development
with pool and clubhouse with a tot lot, in which residents of Gonya North can utilize. Gonyea owns the land that
abuts Reid Park, and suggests expanding Reid as their portion of parkland dedication (in lieu of a park in
Gonyea North).
Weis asked what the target demographic is. Allen replied that it was typically young families; average home
prices would be in the mid-$400s. The commissioners expressed concerns about trails and connectivity, as
well as a shared park on the other side of Lake Elmo Avenue. Ames thought that without a crossing control
mechanism that a park across Lake Elmo Avenue is not the best or safest idea. They also questioned the trail
connectivity into other neighborhoods as part of the overall park and trail plan. Hartley asked if there would be
a parking available at the clubhouse/swimming pool and if it would be accessible for residents in this
development. Allen confirmed that Gonyea North residents would not have access to the clubhouse; only the
tot lot. Zeno discussed safety concerns on biking trails going against traffic.
Zuleger stated what they liked about the Gonyea development is that they are willing to give more of that land
to expand Reid Park (walkable from downtown). Hartley responded that if the Wildflower development did not
go in, she is concerned that there would be no park available to young children in the development.
Ames would like to see more consideration for connectivity; expressed concerns crossing at busy streets on
Lake Elmo Avenue and Hwy 5. Zuleger pointed out that there will be a stop light at the intersection of Hwy 5
and Lake Elmo Avenue by August.
Weis said that he’s not in favor of adding more parks but is concerned about the nearest park availability,
based on the park survey which indicated that proximity to parks is important. He would like to see them work
with the neighboring development.
Gonyea companies have had top builders in the last 4 years.
b. Wildflower at Lake Elmo Concept Plan (Zuleger)
The Wildflower concept includes a unique design from Engstrom, guided with larger lots and with a courtyard
plan. Engstrom has designed the Fields of St. Croix, The Forest, and Cloverdale Farms. The Wildflower site is
101 acres plus 21 acres for joint meetings with Fields of St. Croix. Engstrom explained that the farm field would
be converted into into large storm water collection area, and all stormwater would be able to be kept on site.
The lower portion of the development would be association maintained units targeted for singles and empty
nesters.
Engstrom talked about a conservancy, which would include a large, shared area with native plants; a
landscape architect would work with individual homeowners to incorporate native plants into their own
landscape. He discussed conservancy ownership options, which could include the City, the homeowners
association, or an outside organization.
Engstrom pointed out the proposed trail connections. Ames observed that the plan primarily served residents
and was concerned about the lack of connectivity outside of the neighborhood. It is the commission’s desire to
ensure that incoming developments are prepared to connect with surrounding existing developments. They
would particularly like to see some connectivity to Tana Ridge.
Hartley shared that she thought the open green spaces in the development were wonderful and that future
residents would really enjoy it. Commissioners agreed that the conservatory area is beautiful.
Zuleger prompted the commission to consider commenting alongside the planning commission’s thought to
include a common shared park/small gathering space between the two developments. Larson mentioned that
the planning commission talked about the central cul-de-sac going through, and suggested a trail linkage that
would go between some of the houses.
Zuleger asked the commission to point out their main issues with connectivity. Primary concerns were,
accessibility to park land, connectivity to the north and the east and to highway 5, and also connectivity to the
high school. Zuleger identified potential points of connectivity using Leighton between Gonyea and Engstrom
to lead to a trail on 39th that would connect to the Village Parkway. The trail would provide access to the Old
Village and include great connectivity to Reid Park.
c. Priority Park Action Item Discussion (Weis)
Ames/Weis Table to shelve item 4c until next meeting when more members are present. 4-0.
Old Business
a. Oak-Land Park JPA (Zuleger)
Zuleger presented the commission with the f irst draft of the joint powers agreement, which included basic
principles. The JPA would now go to the lawyers to redraft some of the language. Changes would include a
modification to article 1. Zuleger prompted the commission to concentrate on article 1 and 2, which is the heart
of the JPA. The contract will be presented to Council and the School Board on April 1.
The city park area would be located at the northeast area of the school grounds. Ames questioned if the
agreement would eliminate any future opportunity to create an official trail off the west side of the property that
would make a connection into Cimarron. Zuleger clarified that the JPA is a document to allow the two entities
to work together. The City will work with district to determine legal property lines on parcel, and designate rules
and regulations for park usage. Master plan will have to be given to the district by September of 2014.
Commissioners expressed concern about clause 2.6 & 2.7, regarding the district’s permission to request
additional improvements/needs, going forward. Zuleger didn’t consider it an issue after walking the grounds.
Ames felt that the language does not belong and added that the commission is always open to requests; he
suggested removing the verbiage to not intimate an obligation.
Ames inquired about safety and security. His concern was that the agreement stated that the City was
responsible for safety and security of the park, and questioned whether developing a park would open up the
area up to inappropriate actions, which the City would then be responsible for. Zuleger explained that safety
was already under the City’s jurisdiction because they provide the policing for the facility. It is believed that
cleaning up the park would deter and reduce those behaviors.
Weis asked if any timeline was indicated by when the park must be developed. Zuleger anticipated within a
year after the plan is submitted in September.
Motion made that they would like to work out matters of safety and security and remove items 2.6 and 2.7
replace with general statement that allows school to ask park commission for funds on as need basis.
M/S/P: Hartley/Ames. Motion amended to include adding language that allows for reciprocal funding. Approved
4-0.
Weis stated that this partnership is a great example of the city working with the schools and looking toward
what we want it to look like in the future.
Bouthilet asked about parking opportunities. Zuleger responded that parking would be on the south end of the
community park, just north of the tennis courts. Details will continue to be worked out with the operation
agreement.
M/S/P: Weis/Ames: Approved 4-0
b. MCPA Tree Planting Update (Zuleger)
Hieptas has contracted St. Croix Tree Service and has not received anything back. It will be moved to next
month agenda.
c. LERT Update (Weis)
Weis provided an update. Johnson drafted a letter of intent to Washington County stating that they are serious
about putting in a bike trail. This is the first step in the matter. Weis added that the committee is looking at
other avenues of funding as well through Met Council. Next steps are to figure out first steps of other avenue of
funding.
d. Follow Up on 27th St. Access to LEPR (Weis)
Weis wanted to follow up on the issue to ensure it didn’t fall off the radar. Zuleger mentioned that the
gentlemen in attendance at the last meeting were opposed to the trail because they didn’t want to open the
neighborhood up to allowing more traffic in the area. Hartley asked about the ownership of the land. Weis
confirmed that the city would need to acquire the land to cross there. Zuleger said staff recommends that
commission take no action from liability and financial standpoint.
Commission takes no action at this time.
e. Park Sign Update (MacLeod)
MacLeod presented the commission with sample sign materials. The commission requested two additional
bids from other companies.
Move to go forward with composite (extira-like) material for signage.
M/S/P: Ames/Hartley: Approved 4-0
f. Pebble Park Equipment (Bouthilet)
Bouthilet presented several themed ideas for playground equipment.
Weis asked about the age range of children near Pebble Park. It is currently an aging neighborhood, but is
turning around, with younger families moving in. Weis asked if the age should be considered when designing a
park. Bouthilet replied that Pebble Park is a destination park; people will drive to it to utilize facilities.
Ames said that he liked the look of the examples but concerned that it’s for younger children. Ames stated that
he would like to see more options for children of all ages.
The commission asked about cost. Bouthilet stated the cost of one option was approximately $52,000. The
prices of examples presented range between $39k and $52k.
Zeno asked what would be done with the old equipment if they decided not to use it. Staff discussed options
including adding tough coat, which allows for the equipment to be painted. Hartley shared that she thought it
would be wonderful if they could get more years out of the existing equipment, but improve them, and add
additional features.
Bouthilet will bring more options to the April park meeting that will include more challenging equipment with
pricing.
M/S/P: Ames/Weis: Approved 7-0
Staff Reports & Commission Updates
a. Communications Update (MacLeod)
The park commission will be the featured guest on the April edition of ‘The Mayor Show,’ which will be taped
on March 18, 2014.
Meeting adjourned at 9:04 PM
Respectfully Submitted,
Alyssa MacLeod, Recording Secretary
Audit Priority Work Session – December 2013
Due to getting through agenda efficiently, Zuleger suggested amending the agenda to include
an audit priority work session. Weis added that the agenda should also be amended to include a
date change for the January meeting.
Agenda amended to include additional work from the audit and moving January meeting due to
MLK holiday. Meeting was moved to Thursday, January 30.
M/S/P: Ames/Steele: Agenda approved as amended. Approved 7-0
Zuleger asked the commission how they would like to tackle the audit and prioritize. Weis asked
to clarify objective. Zuleger responded that the objective is to determine how to spend the $220
allocated to park improvements. Steele expressed concern that it would be hard to prioritize
without knowing cost of improvements. Zuleger reminded the commission that they have excess
funds available (up to $900k) if needed and an additional $150k-$200k would likely be added
this year from new development.
The commission agreed to go through the audit and prioritize line by line, recognizing two parks
most in need of improvements to focus on.
Zuleger informed the commission that Gonyea and Mattamy development would likely bring
some improvements to Reid Park, next spring. Frick asked how many acres will be added to
Reid. Zuleger said it would likely be 8-10 acres.
Steele asked why they were only looking at six parks. Zuleger responded that they are the only
ones that were audited. Steele confirmed the parks that weren’t audited: Stonegate, Kleis,
Parkview (Park Ridge), Fields II, Tana. There is also an understanding that there will be a joint
park at OakLand Jr. High. Steele confirms that they should be free to add in additional parks
that they think might need some work.
Inviting Entrance:
Priority was ranked: 1. Pebble, 2. Reid, 3. Tablyn. Steele suggested doing signage system-
wide; determined a high priority by commissioners. Zuleger said they would take a look at Carol
Kriegler’s work with signs.
Way-finding signs.
Steele suggested that entrance signs and way-finding signs go together. Ames suggested that
way-finding signs are more important in some parks than others (where you can see everything
from the entrance of the park). Nelson suggested auctioning old signs.
Reeves suggested focusing on big bucket items rather than on details in order to remain timely.
Park Lighting.
Commission agreed that lighting is a high priority Ames suggested that they differentiate what
type of lights they need and where they are needed.
Steele moveed to put Pebble as first priority, Reid and Tablyn second priority.
M/S/P: Hartley/Ames: approve lighting priorities. 7-0
Park Safety.
Nelson asked what electrical costs would be in parks that don’t already have it. Zuleger said it
would be $1,500 at best.
Sunfish, Pebble, Tablyn, Reid were ranked in order of illegal activities.
Zuleger said that webcams are relatively inexpensive, also suggested call boxes as an option
for parks with power. Weis asked if police reports were primarily crimes being inflicted on people
or illegal activity. Zuleger responded that it depends on park. Primarily loitering at Reid, drug
activity at Pebble.
Steele moved to prioritize installing cameras or call boxes in Sunfish, Pebble, Tablyn and Reid.
Commission agreed.
Steele suggested that disabled accessibility be considered low priority, as they are in good
shape. Bouthilet replied that standards are changing and it will need to be assessed at least.
Parking.
Hartley stated that increasing parking at Tablyn is priority. Steele added Carriage Station was in
need in parking as well; currently streets are too narrow. Steele suggested digging road out a
few feet and adding parking spaces along the side of the road and asked if it is feasible?
Bouthilet responded that there is limited room for parallel parking.
Weis asked about the Park off Inwood had parking; mentioned that it is not discussed much but
is heavily used.
Pebble, Tablyn determined priority for parking.
Pathways/Trails
Zuleger mentioned connection issues will be addressed at Reid and Tablyn (sidewalks at
Reid/30th, and trail connection at Tablyn)
Internal pathways well marked and maintained? Hartley mentioned that the stairs in Tablyn are
in need of work; trails need to be marked at Pebble. Ames thinks the staircase in Tablyn needs
to be looked at in terms of safety; Pebble improvements determined on the rest of the park
plan), therefore leaving Tablyn at 1. Steele agrees steps at Tablyn priority; clearing brush in
sliding hill.
Commission discussed reconfiguring ball diamond at Tablyn – backstop close to retaining wall;
bumpy field.
Zuleger mentioned that Stonegate will be expanded by new development that was just
approved (boulder ponds).
Pebble and Tablyn determined priority for pathways and trails.
Maintenance
Steele asked for Bouthilet’s recommendations regarding what needs to be replaced; to bring to
next meeting.
Pebble, Reid Tablyn determined priority at this time.
Amenities
Steele asked if this section was referring to capital improvements. Zuleger clarified that they
already touched on capital improvement with parking. Steele suggested Pebble and Tablyn as
priorities in amenities.
Weis asked if the LERT goes through, if the county would be interested in d eveloping a new
parking lot that serves as an entrance serving both Tablyn and the Reserve. Zuleger anticipated
they will know by spring if they are included in the master plan. Ames suggested creating a
contingency plan around parking in spring.
Weis suggested that what is left are ‘big dream’ items – restrooms, ball field, etc. Weis asked
each commissioner to suggest top item for improvement.
Hartley: Volleyball courts and move basketball court at Pebble. Lighting in parking and courts –
also adding bathrooms.
Zuleger reminded the commission that from the retreat the commission decided to add one
bathroom each year.
Steele: Pebble ranks top; but not sure on highest priority for bathroom.
Weis: As part of LERT master plan, funding may be available for a restroom at Tablyn
Ames: Transform first 100 yards of Pebble as you enter - from street to swing set.
Silvernale: Restroom combined with a picnic shelter (not park specific).
Zeno: Supports work in Pebble Park
Frick: Pebble top priority based on what was seen in audit. In Tablyn hopes that funding can be
picked up through trail; hopes improvements in Reid may be funded in part by new
development.
Hartley: Can’t see into the entrance at Reid; at least wants to take down some weeds to open
up visibility
Frick: Thought some cameras and a lit parking lot could help at Reid.
Ames: Adds brush removal to the list
Hartley: Discusses issues with buckthorn off of Ideal.
Nelson: Preserve character of the ball fields in VFW and Lions, but would like to see them
upgraded.
Hartley mentioned flooding in Lions/VFW. Zuleger responded that they are in the process of
Washington county study and there are three issues that are naturally taking care of
themselves. Options are being looked at including retention ponds/drainage considerations.
Weis asked about time frame on the city center park project. Reeves responded that the village
work group is looking at village green, plans are still being solidified. Zuleger added that plans
are dependent on airport zoning.
Nelson mentioned the perspective of guests coming from out of town and how they view the
downtown parks.
Zeno suggested that because they are unsure what is going to happen in that area, maybe best
to do temporary cosmetic touches but not invest a lot. Zuleger agreed that would be prudent;
looking at 3 years to finalize plans due to airport zoning and railroad crossing.
Ames mentioned utilizing new development to support trail plan. Zuleger responded that trails
were being implemented with new development.
Weis summed up big bucket priorities: Pebble, Reid, VFW (smaller bucket). Unsure on
improvements in Tablyn based on timing of LERT.
Commission reviewed Boulder ponds trail structure plan/map.
