LA K E ELMO�'� DATE: 3/21/16
AGENDA ITEM:
CASE#2015-20
ITEM: Legends of Lake Elmo Concept Plan Parkland
SUBMITTED BY: Stephen Wensman, Planning Director
REVIEWED BY: Emily Becker, City Planner
SUMMARY AND DISCUSSION:
The Parks Commission reviewed the Legends of Lake Elmo Concept Plan on February 17, 2016. At
that meeting,the Parks Commission recommended there be a trail from the Legends development to
the Sanctuary Park. A 30 ft. corridor would be accepted for dedication with the trail and that the
remainder of the required park dedication would be accepted as cash in lieu of land dedication. On
March 2,the City Council approved the Concept Plan for the Legends of Lake Elmo,but the Council
requested that the Parks Commission again review the development and confirm their
recommendation for the Legends of Lake Elmo development.
SANCTUARY NEIGHBORHOOD PARK:
When Sanctuary was developed,the City accepted Sanctuary Park as a neighborhood park.
Recently, a playground was installed within Sanctuary Park and a paved trail was constructed
connecting the playground to Lily Avenue in Sanctuary. There has been some discussion as to
whether the neighborhood park needs are being met with the development of Sanctuary Park. At the
public hearing for the Legends Concept,neighbors confirmed their appreciation for the playground
and the park and indicated that it was popular with families with children.
COMPREHENSIVE PARK PLAN:
The Comprehensive Parks Plan identifies park search areas in areas where parkland is needed.
Sanctuary Park is identified as the neighborhood park satisfying the need for parkland for this part of
the city. The City's Neighborhood Park Standard indicates a neighborhood park should be 3-10
acres in size for passive use,picnicking, sitting,multipurpose playfield or courts, sledding hills, ice
skating, etc. Development of Sanctuary Park is limited due to the difficult terrain, access, and being
located behind developed lots. The Commission should continue to seek out opportunities to
improve upon Sanctuary Park when additional land become available, such as to the southwest and
northwest that includes relatively flat open space land for multipurpose playfields or courts, sledding
or other identifiable park need, and improved frontage on public streets with or without parking.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Legends of Lake Elmo has achieved a Concept Plan approval. This development is still in the
concept phase and could significantly change prior to Preliminary Plat. The Commission should
determine if there are any opportunities within the Legends development that might satisfy any
remaining recreational needs as it pertains to Sanctuary Park,then review its recommendation for
park land dedication and reaffirm its prior recommendation or make a new recommendation.
