Our Mission is to Provide Quality Public Services in a Fiscally Responsible Manner While Preserving the City’s Open Space Character MINUTES City of Lake Elmo Park Commission May 16, 2016 Members Present: Chair Weis, Commissioners Frick, Hartley, Nelson, Steele, Zeno, Ames, and Silvernale Others Present: Mayor Pearson, City Administrator Kristina Handt, City Planner Emily Becker, Planning Commissioner Larson, Jamie Colemer, Public Works and Clark Schroeder, Developer Representative The meeting was called to order by Chair Weis at 6:32 PM. Approval of Agenda Agenda approved as presented. Approval of Minutes Commissioner Frick, seconded by Commissioner Hartley, moved to approve the April 2016 minutes as amended. Motion passed 8- 0. Sunfish Park Nature Day Commissioner Frick presented a Nature Trail Map with different stations marked on the trail, she also presented fun items that are going to be given out to the children, which includes a variety of fun animal flashcards, stickers, seeds, pins, and instructions on how to build a bluebird house. Beautiful signs were posted by the city and people were taking pictures of them to pass the information on. Event will take place May 21st from 10am to Noon. Tablyn Park Upgrades Conversation was held concerning cost for future skating rink and gravel driveway, as well as the maintenance required, such as a zamboni. Discussions encompassed renting a warming house prior to investing in one, a paved switchback trail, the possibility of mountain bike trails, and the future consideration of plans to ensure trails serve as conduit to connect different parts of the city. Reid Park Upgrades A plan was proposed for a stub and to lower the berm. A consensus was reached to lower the berm. Chair Weis requested advertisement for public opinion on trail connectivity. Oakland Shared Park Lake Elmo is paying $64,000 for renovation of tennis courts out of Park Dedication Funds. The County is starting to build trails in that area and would like to use this property as a staging area. People will come here to access the trails, so the County offered to make some improvements which include a parking lot and is willing to cover all of the expense. Site improvements and parking lot was motioned as all in favor 8-0. Tapestry HOA Trails HOA trails being made public and cared for by the city was the topic of discussion. If city maintains trails it needs to be made clear to the HOA that the trails would be public. Taking over trails should have a purpose such as it produces connectivity. A detail that would also have to be considered is how much staff would need to be hired in order to maintain all these trails. CIP Details of putting together a Capital Improvement Plan for the Parks Committee to use as a financial tool to plan for 2017-2021 was the subject matter. Discussion of prioritizing projects of $25,000 or more to be included in the CIP, so it could be brought forth to Council. Projects ideas included Sunfish Park Nature Center, Lake Elmo Regional Trail, Easton Village Playground equipment, adding a field and bathroom to Demontreville Park, and the Tablyn Park Upgrades. Consensus was made to conduct a special meeting just for the development of the plan. Tartan Park Ball Fields No official plans from Tartan Park Developers has been submitted to the city. To put on the record how important are the ball fields to the city, a vote was taken 6 to 2 in favor of keeping the ball fields. June Meeting Agenda Reid Park Contact Mork Members to see if they could present on designing Mountain Bike Trails. Staff Reports RFP going to Council Cell Tower will not be on park property. Meeting adjourned at 8:23 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, Patti Stucke Administrative Assistant MINUTES City of Lake Elmo Park Commission 2017-2021 CIP Special Meeting June 8, 2016 Members Present: Chair Weis, Commissioners Frick, Zeno, Ames, Nelson, Steele Members Absent: Neuenfeldt, Hartley, Silvernale Others Present: Mayor Pearson, City Administrator Handt, City Planner Becker, Resident Paul Miller The meeting was called to order by Chair Weis at 6:30 PM. 2017-2021 Capital Improvement Plan Administrator Handt explained that the Parks Commission was to make recommendations for the Parks’ 2017-2021 Capital Improvement Plan. She explained that a list of very rough cost estimates for eight possible Parks and Recreation CIP projects was provided in the packet based off of direction that was provided to Staff from the last Parks Commission meeting held May 16, 2016. The Commission was to assign what projects they would like seen on the 2017-2021 CIP, which years those projects should be accomplished, and the projects’ priority rankings. The Park Dedication Fund at this time was expected to have a balance of $770,000 by year end ($640,000 if the proposed Tablyn Park Project is approved and completed in 2016), with only about $107,000 still expected to be collected from an upcoming development project. Commissioner Ames wanted clarification on how the CIP was going to be communicated to Council. Administrator Handt explained that the proposed CIP, after approved by the Parks Commission, would first go to Finance Committee and then to Council for final approval. It was clarified that Finance Committee does have the power to make recommendations against the CIP as approved by the Parks Commission, and there was concern how the Finance Committee would communicate logic behind any projects they rejected and if the Parks Commission- recommended CIP would be communicated to Council along with the Finance Committee’s recommendations. Mayor Pearson clarified that the goal was that Council understood both the Parks Commission’s and Finance Committee’s recommendations. Administrator Handt added that a desired project not approved for a specific year will remain on the CIP as pending in order to keep track of it. It was also discussed that if changes to the CIP were desired, a public hearing was required. Demontreville Park Improvements Mr. Paul Miller, a resident of 50th Street in Lake Elmo and active member with Mahtomedi Baseball Association, was at the meeting to discuss desired improvements to Demontreville Park. He requested that the field be re-graded, adding lime to prevent weeds and backstops to the field. A partnership was suggested between the City and a school district to help cover initial costs and maintenance. Motion by Weis, seconded by Steele to recommend approval of PR-003 as amended. The Parks Commission voted and recommended that $75,000 of the Parks and Recreation fund be dedicated toward an upgrade of the current baseball field to include backstops, grading, adding lime and appropriate fencing and toward a second ballfield in 2017 and that $35,000 be dedicated toward a new pavilion in 2018. They ranked the priority of this project as 2 (Very Important). Motion passed. Manning Trail Updates Handt explained that a new Manning Trail will be installed along Manning Trail near Oak Land Junior High in conjunction with the new roadway as part of the city/county’s efforts to connect trails. There was discussion about what formula was utilized to determine our share of the costs; further information was needed. The Parks Commission voted and recommended that $13,200 of the Parks and Recreation fund be dedicated toward Manning Trail Updates in 2017. The priority ranking of this project was determined to be 2 (Very Important). 50th Street Trail This project was on a previous Parks and Recreation CIP, but there was thought that there was not enough right-of-way in the proposed area of the trail. Motion by Steele, seconded by Nelson to recommend removal of this project from the 2017-2021 CIP. The Parks Commission removed this item from the CIP, waiting on further information. Motion passed. Lions Park Renovations Commissioner Zeno wanted to be sure that the tennis and volleyball court and play center be replaced elsewhere in the City if or when they are taken down. Commissioner Ames asked that demolition of the arts center not come out of the Parks Budget and that there be a marker for the 45th parallel. Motion by Ames, seconded by Steele to recommend approval of PR-004 with the addition of a marker of the 45th parallel. The Parks Commission voted and recommended that $150,000 of the Parks and Recreation Fund be dedicated towards Lions Park improvements included on the upcoming RFP. This project was determined to be ranked as 1 (Critical). Motion passed. Pebble Park Improvement Phase 1 of this park’s improvements were completed in 2016. Phase 2 improvements would include paving the parking area, adding a bathroom (specifics to be determined), and a volleyball court. Motion by Steele, seconded by Ames to recommend the approval of PR-005 as amended. The Parks Commission voted and recommended that $55,738 of the Parks and Recreation Fund be dedicated toward a two-court volleyball court and paved parking area in 2017 and that $80,000 of the Fund be dedicated toward restrooms and lighting/security features in 2018. The ranking of this project was assigned a priority ranking of 3 (Important). Motion passed. Reid Park Improvements Desired improvements to Reid Park included a mountain biking trail, restrooms, tot lot, demolition of the basketball court, outdoor gym stations, bleacher seats, and extending the fence. Motion by Weis, seconded by Nelson to recommend approval of PR-006 as amended. The Parks Commission voted and recommended that $50,000 to construct mountain biking trails be procured from grants in 2018 and that $134,250 be dedicated from the Parks Fund for other above-described improvements in 2019. A priority ranking of 3 (Important) was assigned to this project. Motion passed. Sunfish Lake Park It was determined that the park was in need of benches, a parking lot area near the Fire Station on Jamaca Avenue or at least delineation of a permitted parking area, paving of the main parking lot, and ADA standard trails in Area 2. Motion by Weis, seconded by Stele to recommend approval of PR-007 as amended. The Parks Commission voted and recommended that $2000 be procured in donations for the desired benches and that $28,136 be dedicated from the Parks Fund in 2017 and that $148,873 be dedicated from the Parks Fund in 2019 for the additionally desired improvements. The project was determined to be ranked 3 (Important). Motion passed. Lake Elmo Regional Trail There are two phases to this regional east-west trail project, the first phase connects it to the existing Oakdale trail at Stillwater Blvd, travels through Tablyn Park to Lake Elmo Park Reserve, passes through LEPR and provides an exit point to Sunfish Lake Park, and continues down to Highway 5; the second phase connects Lake Elmo to Stillwater Senior High. Motion by Steele, seconded by Ames to recommend PR-009. The Parks Commission voted and recommended that in 2020, $620,487 from grants and donations be put toward this project and $206,829 be dedicated from the Parks and Recreation Fund; in 2021, $574,000 from grants and donations and $191,400 from the Park Fund are to go towards this project. A ranking of 3 (Important) was assigned to this project. Motion passed. Motion by Steele, seconded by Ames to recommend $25,000 for a pickelball court at a park. Motion passed. Motion by Steele, seconded by Frick to recommend the Parks 2017-2021 CIP as amended. Motion passed. Meeting adjourned at 9:27 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, Emily Becker, City Planner ITEM 6 PARKS COMMISSION COMMUNICATION DATE: 6/20/16 ITEM #: 6 AGENDA ITEM: Former Washington County Landfill Site SUBMITTED BY: Emily Becker, City Planner REVIEWED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator Stephen Wensman, Planning Director BACKGROUND: The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has contacted Planning Director Wensman in regards to the Washington County Landfill site. According to the MPCA, local government is required to develop a land use plan for the landfill that is consistent with that of the MPCA. This work has not begun, but Staff would like clarification from the Parks Commission as to its interest in the landfill site and potential land uses. Staff is aware of several suggested uses in the past including a dog park and a solar garden. The request for a dog park was last discussed and recorded in City Council meeting minutes on October 6, 2015. Sunshare recently called Planning Director Wensman asking about the site and trying to determine any zoning regulations that pertain to solar gardens or equipment. Solar energy systems and solar structures are permitted accessory uses in all districts, provided the system is in compliance with minimum lot requirements and setbacks. Therefore, it would be a permitted accessory use in the landfill site to a park. ISSUE BEFORE COMMISSION: The Commission should revisit the vision for the former Washington County Landfill Site and provide Staff direction in how to proceed with planning for future land use. PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: The MPCA took over responsibility of the Landfill in 1995 when a Cleanup Agreement (LCA) and a Notice of Compliance was issued. The MPCA is required by Minnesota Statute to develop a land use plan for the Landfill Management Area (LMA) with which the City must be consistent. Declarations of Restrictions and Covenants were signed by the City and Washington and Ramsey Counties and recorded by Washington County to restrict certain uses in this area including constructing, excavating or placing any structure, material or personal property, equipment, or other items on most of the area without written approval from the Commissioner of the MPCA (areas outlined in attached map), and installing any drinking water wells on the parcel without prior written approval of the Commissioner of the MPCA and the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH). The uses that are acceptable on either the entire area or portions thereof include closed landfill management; civic; parks and open space; and solar energy farm. 2 Item 6 The MPCA believes that most of the uses within the current zoning for the LMA are not compatible with the MPCA’s future responsibilities for the site as well as the risks associated with the Landfill so recommends that the City adopt a new zoning district and ordinance for the LMA. They recommend that Closed Landfill Management, Civic, and Parks and Open Space uses as permitted uses for portions of the LMA while Solar Energy Farm be considered a conditional use.

Development of this property is expected to happen soon, and it is expected that a new Development Agreement will be proposed to Council by the beginning of July. ISSUE BEFORE COMMISSION: Staff would like to keep the Commission informed of the progress of this development and remind the Commission of the park plan. PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: The Developer is to pay a cash contribution of $107,554 for park dedication requirements. No additional fees in lieu of land dedication will be charged for future developments within the preliminary plat area. 5.7 acres of park land will be provided. The developer will receive a credit from the cash amount due for the actual costs of the North East Park Plan Improvements depicted in the Final Landscape Plans attached. Improvements shall include: 16-feet by 24-feet 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.

While it has been deemed incomplete, Staff would like the Commission to review what has been submitted as parkland for the development. ISSUE BEFORE COMMISSION: Staff requests that the Commission review the proposed park as shown on the Preliminary Plat and provide comments. It is important to keep in mind that an application for Preliminary Plat has not been formally accepted, however, Staff would like to give the Commission the opportunity to comment in a timely manner. PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: Legends is proposing a trail as part of their park dedication requirements as shown in Outlot B, which consists of 1.04 acres, of the Preliminary Site Plan. The Commission should consider if parking near the park trail area is desired. With the location of the landscaped median near the park, in its current configuration, no parking will be allowed. Legends is zoned Rural Residential and is requesting an Open Space Preservation Conditional Use Permit, which requires a 7% park dedication fee. The total property area is 110.01 acres, so 7.7 acres is required as park dedication. This amount of land, less the proposed dedicated park area, would require the developer to pay 6.66 acres worth of park dedication fees. Typically, the developer will receive a credit for the cost of the construction of the park trail.

The church has been in discussion with a potential developer to purchase the property. According to the church, the potential buyer intends to develop the property as it was originally approved. ISSUE BEFORE COMMISSION: Staff respectfully requests that the Commission review the site plan of the preliminary plat and make comment on proposed trails and plan. PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: The preliminary plat shows eight foot trails going throughout the development, connecting to the church and a six foot loop to the west of the church. There is also a connecting trail on the south side of the plat. The developer is currently considering replacing the trails throughout the development with sidewalks. There appears to be no proposed park, though the church is considering a future recreation/community center to the north.
