Motion passed 6-0-1 (Hartley Abstain) Reid Park.- Public Comment Richard Glanzer, 3112 Layton Court N Richard was interested in the future plan for the park. He said it is used for Church Picnics and Theatre Night, in which they showed movies at night (they used a generator). He said it would be nice to have electricity available at the park as well as bathrooms. The park is good for hiking and he thinks it is a benefit for the City as well as for neighbors. Chair Weiss stated that they will probably advertise again for public comment and that the park is in the CIP plan for 2018. Sunfish Lake Park (Nature Day Recap) Commissioner Frick reported that the Event was a great success. The children and their families were having a good time and it was a beautiful day. The Carpenter Nature Center participated and the local cable company came and filmed the Event. Commissioner Frick pointed out that it was a good picture of the park and of Lake Elmo's hospitality. Approximately 150 people attended. Former Washington County Landfill Site City Planner, Emily Becker led a discussion with the Commission to revisit the vision for the Former Washington County Landfill Site. This site is currently zoned as park land.The MPCA would like to see it rezoned as a landfill site. The city is required to make a land use plan consistent with those of the MPCA. The request for a dog park and solar garden was discussed in the past.The dog park got voted down according to Chair Weiss, he reported that it was decided not to put anything there and let future generations develop that land. Commissioner Frick commented that it was looked on as just a holding space for future needs. Commissioner Hartley reported that solar gardens were not wanted. The Commission would like to reserve the flexibility of uses for the land and would like to see a copy of the Zoning Ordinance that is drafted to see what is required to be consistent with the MPCA. Hammes Park City Planner, Emily Becker informed the Commission of the progress of Hammes Property Park to remind the Commission of the park plan. The developer will pay a cash contribution of $107,554 for park dedication requirements.The developer will receive a credit for the actual cost of the park plan improvements. Commissioner Steele did not want to use this procedure again if it takes away the commission's power to choose what improvements and styles are installed in the park. He does not want to leave the choices solely up to the developer. Administrator Handt clarified that this was a project that went bankrupt and is coming back, so it was decided to go forth with the same agreement that was made a few years ago. Handt pointed out that when the new development agreement is written up, it could be offered to include language that would indicate a partnership of decision making between developer and Park Commission on the park improvements. Becker concluded that the commission feedback to require documentation of price on improvements, clarification about design and structure, and to inform the developer that it is important that the structures be similar to the ones used throughout the city's park system, will be implemented. Legends Preliminary Plat City Planner, Emily Becker was seeking the Commission's input on Legends partially submitted application for Preliminary Plat. Even though the plat has not been formally accepted, it would give the commission the opportunity to comment in a timely manner. Legends is zoned Rural Residential and is requesting an Open Space Preservation Conditional Use Permit requiring a 7% park dedication fee. This would require developer to pay 6.66 acres of park dedication fees. Legends is proposing a trail as part of the park dedication. Becker asked commission to consider if parking near the park trail is desired. Conversation transpired about if parking would be used in the proposed area.The commission did not envision a clear need for public parking, but if so not less than five vehicles. The commission concluded that a space be provided but not installed until the need presented itself. Meijer Concept PUD Meijer Stores Limited Partnership has submitted an application for approval of their concept plan for a future Meijer Stores, gas station, and future commercial outlots. City Planner, Emily Becker was collecting feedback from Park Commission on proposed commercial PUD and required park dedication requirements for trails along the 5th Street corridor. Chair Weiss wanted to find out what other cities are asking per acre for park land dedication requirements, he pointed out that it would be important to stay consistent with surrounding cities. Weiss also wanted to place heavy emphasis on serving Savona in the plan. Commissioner Zeno would like to make note that a Green Screen should be put up for the benefit of the residents so that they will not have to view the commercial property from their windows as well as to ensure that the lighting is very Dark Sky compatible. Commissioner Steele would like to look at the trail plan to see if could give him more information. Administrator Handt noted that going forward, Becker will provide trail plan comments for every development before it comes to the Park Commission. Hidden Meadows Park Plan City Planner Emily Becker updated Commission on trail plan for Rock Point Church. The final plat has been approved and Becker was collecting feedback on any last minute minor recommendations from the Park Commission. The conversation was about a horseshoe shaped trail off of 55th Street. It was not clear if there was a purpose for this design, it was recommended that it be straighten unless there was a reason or future intention for why it was planned that way. Lions RFQ Update Administrator Handt gave update on RFQ. Five proposals were received for the Lion's Park project with bid's ranging from $22500- $98000. Only one bid met all the requirements, which included a construction estimate, with a total of over$500,000. Handt said that the lowest bidder will be reached out to and asked to provide the information missing from their proposal. Handt suggested modifying the project to get closer to the projected scope of$150,000-$200,000. A possibility could be to get an Architect (upon Council approval) to help redefine the project. Chair Weiss asked Public Works, Jamie Colmer to look into if the grading could be done inhouse. CIP Update Administrator Handt gave an update on the CIP from the Finance Committee meeting. She reported that the Finance Committee would like to add the completion of the 50th Street trail back into the CIP. Correction on Demontreville Park, $75,000 for 2017 and $30,000 for 2018. Pebble Park would be $55,738 in 2017 and $80,000 in 2018. Reed Park$50,000 in 2018 and $134,250 in 2019. Sunfish Park would be a $2,000 donation for benches and in 2019 $148,873 for improvements, which include paving of parking lot and improving trails with asphalt. The Finance Committee also reported that a pickup truck for$30,000 would be purchased for Parks with Park Dedication Funds. July Meeting Agenda • Playground resurfacing pricing for rubber instead of wood chips for Parkview, Carriage Station and Lyons. • Pricing to regrade field for Reed. Get input from Lake Elmo Baseball to gather information on what would be a quality field. • Contact Lake Elmo Jaycees and Lake Elmo Baseball about RFQ to see if they would be willing to help get costs down.

Weis thanked everyone for coming and for their responses to the survey that Tucker Pearce, Savona resident, had distributed. He commented that survey results and community feedback are very helpful, and it was important now to determine needs versus wants in the park. Pearce then went over the survey results. The survey asked various questions regarding Savona's future park and was distributed to 25 Savona residents (survey attached). The survey addressed what residents would like to see in a playground and asked about interest in various park amenities including a picnic area, basketball court, soccer field, flag football, Frisbee, bocce ball court, horseshoes, gaga pit, tennis court, splash pad, pool, and sand volleyball court. The survey also posed open-ended questions that let residents give input for what they feel Savona needs in a park and let them ask questions to the Parks Commission regarding the park in Savona. Further comments were made regarding walking trails to Stonegate and the 5th Street Corridor. Mention of alternate exercise equipment for adults, the need for phasing of features to accommodate all ages, and the need for pet disposal sites (and the need for the Homeowners Association to remind residents to always clean up after pets) was made. It was communicated that the park would most likely be built in phases according to how many homes are occupied. Questions about how that phasing would work and how the phases would be delineated were asked, and it was responded that that is something that would need to be worked out. Councilmember Fliflet stressed the need to incorporate amenities that only need a few kids to participate. Planning Director Wensman urged Commission members and residents to keep in mind the amenities the nearby future Hammes Development would have including picnic table, fishing pier, parking, park shelter, bike rack, grill station, and canoe rack. Commissioner Frick reminded everyone that standards for parks should be equalized across developments; too much cannot be spent on one development, and there are developments that are adjacent to parks that have no amenities. Staff commented on the expense and difficulties of maintaining a pool or splashpad. Weis said that at the next Parks Commission meeting, the survey results and comments from this meeting would be further vetted. Residents then broke in to smaller groups to speak separately to Staff and Councilmembers regarding the park. Travel to City Hall to continue meeting Parks Commission members (Chair Weis could not make it to this portion of the meeting), Mayor Pearson, and Staff reconvened at City Hall following meeting at the future Savona park site at 7:57 pm. Approval of Agenda and Minutes Being that there was not a quorum, there was no approval of the agenda or minutes. This will be done at the next meeting. Further, it was clarified that no formal recommendation could be made during this meeting. The following is solely informational in nature and was an opportunity to inform commissioners present about the agenda items. Royal Golf Club at Lake Elmo Clark Schroeder, Developer Representative, gave history on Tartan Park, explaining that HC Golf Course Development, LLC bought the property formerly owned by 3M Co. this past March. The golf course is currently being remodeled and is expected to open June or July of 2017 to include a year-round restaurant and bar with larger, more open banquet seating. He mentioned the developer has allowed Lake Elmo baseball to utilize the baseball fields on the property this summer. A Planned Unit Development Concept Plan application for a 300-310 unit development surrounding the golf course has been submitted, and the Planning Commission gave initial feedback on it at its August 8t" meeting. The developer will incorporate this feedback, along with feedback obtained from the Parks Commission, at the public hearing for the Concept Plan that will be held on August 22"d Rick Packer of HC Golf Course Development, LLC then spoke, giving more information on the housing development. He explained that no parks are proposed within the development, but 74 acres of private open space will be provided, the golf course will be made public, and homes would have access to a youth course, fitness facility, and pool through Homeowners Association fees. The development will also have trails interconnecting the homes and the lots to the golf course. Some trails will be made public; access to them is currently being addressed. Fees in lieu of park land will be paid. Commissioner Frick asked about the wetlands on the northeast corner of the parcel. Packer stated that this wetland will be filled to create the 20 year floodplain. Commissioner Ames asked about trail connectivity to 10th Street; he mentioned that this would help with access to Oakland Junior High School. Packer replied he is aware of the need for trails along CSAH 17, 20th Street, and 10th Street. The developer is negotiating with Terry Emerson to create connectivity to 10th Street. There was further discussion about the current trails on the property; it is likely that these area not up to public standards and work will most likely need to be done on them. Commissioner Nelson asked what the parkland dedication fees would be. Planner Becker explained that because the zoning of the property was not yet determined, the exact percentage of land that needs to be dedicated was unknown, as required parkland dedication is based on zoning. The value of that determined percentage of land would be appraised, and the developer would be required to pay that appraised amount. The developer has also offered to donate park equipment that is currently in the park including lighting and other amenities. The exact details of this are unknown at this point. Hammes Park Planner Becker explained that the Development Agreement for the Hammes Development was being brought to Council the following evening. A condition of their Preliminary Plat was that a play structure be included in the development. The play structure's former location had been in Goose Lake Park, but the Parks Commission had determined to relocate the structure to a different location for desire to minimize the removal of significant trees in the area and its proximity to Keats Avenue. Two different locations were proposed near the center of the development. Staff was looking to the Commission to revisit the need for a play structure. At the time Hammes was granted Final Plat approval and the Parks Commission last discussed this development, Savona's park location was not yet determined. Now knowing where Savona's park would be located, which is within a third to half mile of the latest proposed play structure locations within Hammes, the Commission was asked if it was still necessary that a play structure be included within Hammes.There is trail connectivity from Goose Lake Park and the development to Savona Park that would provide residents access. The Commission was also reminded that Hammes has already dedicated 5.7 acres of land for Goose Lake Park. The Development Agreement specified that the developers shall deposit the remaining parkland dedication fee of $107,554 and would be credited for specific improvements made to the park. Further research was needed, but there was possibility that the play structure location may require the developer to dedicate more land to the City, which would then reduce or satisfy their parkland dedication fee, and the City would be made to pay for such improvements. The Parks Commission came to the consensus that a play structure within Hammes Development was still desired, as walkability to such an amenity is important for parents with young children pushing strollers. They added that it would be ideal for the structure and property on which it is located to be HOA-maintained. The Commission also reiterated that they would like to be kept informed on details of the amenities being installed in Goose Lake Park. They want to have a say in the quality and layout of the structures. Public Works Staff would also like to be involved. Planner Becker commented that this would also be reviewed by our Landscape Consultant. Update (this information was found after, and not discussed at, the meeting but should be clarified): By looking through former versions of Preliminary Plat, Staff has found that a lot in one of the proposed locations for a play structure was eliminated and delineated to include draintile, indicating that this lot was posed to be created to include the play structure and that it would be HOA-maintained. September Meeting Agenda/Staff Reports Again being that there was not a quorum,the September Meeting agenda was not discussed nor were Staff Reports aside from a reminder that there would be a joint Council/Parks Commission meeting on Tuesday, September 13t" at 6:30 pm.

The area next to the tennis courts in Pebble were discussed as a possibility. The costs of courts were discussed with pricing ranging from $11,000 to convert a tennis court into 4 courts to $650,000 for a build new complex for a 12 court complex with lights in Arizona. Commissioner Ames asked about maintenance. It was noted that it was similar to a tennis court. M/S/P Weis/ Zeno: Investigate with the Stillwater School District the possibility of adding pickle ball to the tennis courts and for staff to assemble costs / potential other park locations for installation. Sunfish Fish Lake Nature Center- Mr. Anthony Manzara presented a concept (Via Power Point) to the Parks Commission to construct an Interpretive Nature Center in Sunfish Lake Park as a memorial to his wife, who loved Sunfish Lake Park. The Center would be built with private funds through a foundation of some sort so that funds could be tax deductible, and that Mr. Manzara would match up to $125,000 and then the facility would be turned over to the City. The City would be responsible for utilities, maintenance and building security. Perhaps a private, on-going fundraising endowment could be utilized to fund staff, signage, and other 1 educational matter Mr. Manzara noted that he had approached a local architect for pro bono design work. The timeline for the project would be to obtain approvals from all governing bodies in July 2015 (Park Commission, Planning Commission and City Council), break ground in the Spring of 2016, and then open in August 2016. Commission Ames thanked Mr. Manzara for his generosity and asked about the cost of operation. It was noted that an annual operating budget would be approximately $100,000 with a % time naturalist and volunteers running the facility. Commissioner Ames continued with a question about what the unmet need for this facility. Mr. Manzara led a roundtable discussion that noted the building would be under local control, it would be utilized by school groups and other naturalist groups, and it could be used for special events like the Volksmarcht. Commissioner Frick noted there was a substantial turnout for the Sunfish Lake Nature Event and a nature center such as proposed would have been helpful and she saw a great opportunity for school children use of a building. Commissioner Steele said that such a facility could broaden the conceptions / use of Sunfish Lake Park. Planning Commissioner Larson asked how long it would be before the City could hire a Parks Director. Administrator Zuleger noted that he saw that as far off in the future. Commissioner Silvernale noted that he felt that the center would be used by school children as he had traveled to the Warner Center (2X) per year for school. Commissioner Frick wondered if there would be any available grants for a project of this type. Commissioner Steele asked if there were any MN Land Trust implications. Commissioner Frick noted that the Park Commission would have to consider if Area 2 was eligible for such a facility. M/S/P Frick/Ames: Proceed looking into the development of the Nature Center and to encourage Mr. Manzara to advance his project to the Planning Commission and City Council. THE CITY of PARKS COMMISSION COMMUNICATION LAKE ELMO DATE: 9/19/16 ITEM#: 5 AGENDA ITEM: Legends Preliminary Plat SUBMITTED BY: Emily Becker, City Planner REVIEWED BY: Stephen Wensman, Planning Director BACKGROUND: The Parks Commission reviewed the Legends of Lake Elmo Concept Plan on February 17,2016. The City Council approved the development's Concept Plan on March 2, 2016 and asked the Parks Commission to again review the development and confirm their recommendation. This was done by the Parks Commission on March 21, 2016. During this meeting, it was discussed that the developer had moved down a lot as requested by the Commission to create connectivity to Sanctuary Park by a proposed dedicated 30-foot corridor with a trail. The Parks Commission reaffirmed their recommendation at this meeting; the developer had made requested changes, and it was not recommended that there be additional parkland, as adequate access was provided to Sanctuary Park. Expansion of Sanctuary Park was not desired, as the development land in to which this park could expand is not desirable for parkland due to its low elevation and changing grades. At the June 20, 2016 Parks Commission meeting,the need for parking near the trail connecting the development to Sanctuary Park was discussed. During this meeting, the Commission concluded that a space should be designated for future parking of not more than five vehicles;parking should not be installed until/unless the need presents itself. ISSUE BEFORE COMMISSION: The Commission is respectfully being requested to review the Preliminary Plat application and make additional recommendations if desired. PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: The Comprehensive Plan sets forth a preferred service area for Neighborhood Parks of a quarter-mile to a half mile. As discussed during the joint meeting between Parks Commission and City Council, OP Developments have better opportunity for children to play, as there is more open space and more room to erect playgrounds in residents' own backyards. Sanctuary Park is within a quarter-mile of the proposed development, and Sanctuary is an OP development; Legends is a proposed OP development. Also, as previously mentioned, land within the proposed development that is adjacent to Sanctuary Park is at a low elevation with significant grade change and therefore unsuitable for parkland. Staff has reviewed the Preliminary Plat plans and is concerned with the location of the proposed trail connection, as it could be considered dangerous for crossing, as it connects as cars are coming ITEM 5 2 around the curve of the island. Engineering has yet to determine whether the grade meets City standards for park trails. It should be noted that the application has, as of now,been deemed incomplete, so it is unknown at which meeting this application will next be considered. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Commission review the Preliminary Plat materials and again reconfirm their previous recommendation or make a new recommendation for additional ATTACHMENTS • Legends Preliminary Plat Application(Incomplete) • Description of proposed park from first submittal Legends Concept Plan(Oct of 2015) for reference Item 5 THE CITY OF PARKS COMMISSION COMMUNICATION LAKE ELMO DATE: 9/19/16 ITEM#: 5 AGENDA ITEM: Royal Golf Club Development SUBMITTED BY: Emily Becker, City Planner REVIEWED BY: Stephen Wensman, Planning Director BACKGROUND: Royal Golf Club PUD Concept Plan was approved by Council at its September 6, 2016 meeting. A Preliminary Plat application is expected to be submitted within about a month's time. ISSUE BEFORE COMMISSION: The Commission is respectfully being requested to consider desired parkland dedication for this development.No formal motion is required at this time. PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: From Staff Report from Parks Commission August 15, 2016 meeting: Trails. As indicated below and in the plans, no new trails are proposed in the PUD Concept Plan application submitted. There are existing trails as indicated in the Residential Development Sketch Plan w/Aerial (attached) that provide interconnectivity within the development and to the club house and golf paths. However, the City's Comprehensive Plan identifies a need for trails on 20th Street and a greenway along Lake Elmo Avenue (as shown in the attached "Map 11. Greenway"). Comments about Parks in CUP Concept Plan Narrative (from Applicant): "While the golf course is public,no public parks are proposed within the development. Use of the exercise facility,pool and youth course will be included in the HOA dues. There have been discussions about the existing ball field lighting being used in other parts of city; the exact nature of this is still under discussion. We expect a park dedication fee will likely be paid. Included in the development plan are 74.27 acres of private open space which is used for environmental preservation,water quality protection, storm water management and buffers from adjacent uses." Engineer Comments regarding trails: ITEM 5 2 "Pedestrian facilities: The City should review potential bituminous trail requirements to be incorporated along CSAH 17, 20th Street N. and/or Manning Trail N. to improve pedestrian safety and work toward future trail connectivity." Park Search Area. The area is not within a neighborhood park search area as shown in the attached "Neighborhood Parks Service Areas", nor is it an area identified as a future community park, community sports complex, or special use parks, as shown in "Other Park Search Areas." The plan recommends a radius of one-fourth to one-half mile for neighborhood parks to be located within all neighborhoods. While a neighborhood park is not located within this recommended radius of this proposed development, the aforementioned HOA amenities would essentially achieve the underlying intent of this recommendation. Additionally, the adjacent developments provide no connectivity to the proposed development, and as such, City parkland would not be easily utilized by such developments. If so desired, the developer has identified two possible park locations within the development. While it may be argued that this area was a golf course and therefore not included in the aforementioned maps, the Comprehensive Plan's Park Plan specifically points out that private parks, even if generally open to the public, cannot by definition be regarded as resources which the citizens of Lake Elmo can reliably use, and consideration of these parks and facilities cannot be productively integrated into long-range civic planning relating to the city's parks. Park Dedication. The development site is 205.66 acres, and, if it meets the density requirements of the LDR (Limited Density Residential) Zoning District, will require a parkland dedication amount of 10%, or 20.56 acres. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Commission review the approved PUD Concept Plan and associated Resolution approval. A formal review will be done when Preliminary Plat application materials are received.

As found in the following table the overall gross density is proposed at 0.46 units/acre, with net density at 0.57 units/acre.

The largest open space area is Outlot B, 29.57 acres of hardwood forest and high valued wetlands. With this concept the park, situated in the northeast corner of the development, will help create a sense of community for all three adjoining developments in the area. The park is planned to accommodate a play structure, which is proposed to be relocated from Sanctuary and move to this new location. In addition to the park structure a community park shelter would be constructed. The adjoining wetland could also be utilized during the winter as a community ice rink. The expense of creating this new park is the driving force behind our request for the additional two units for this development. Trails are proposed to make the beautiful natural areas accessible to the subdivision and with the connectivity of trails, the natural areas will be open to the surrounding subdivisions to enjoy as well. A very logical and necessary connection of the trail system is completed with this subdivision trail layout, lTHE CITY OF PARKS COMMISSION COMMUNICATION LAKE ELMO DATE: 9/19/16 ITEM#: 6 AGENDA ITEM: Trail Plan SUBMITTED BY: Emily Becker, City Planner REVIEWED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator BACKGROUND: The Final Trail Guide Plan was created for the City in 2005. It has been discussed in many Parks Commission meetings that there are gaps and"lost connections"between trails that should have been addressed at time of approval of certain developments. ISSUE BEFORE COMMISSION: The Commission is respectfully being requested to review the attached Comprehensive Trail Guide Plan and assist Staff with identifying gaps. PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: The City does not have current,up-to-date GIS information on trails. This needs to be updated. Additionally, as the City develops, the Trail Plan should be updated to meet current and future needs. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Commission review the attached Trail Plan and assist Staff with identifying existing gaps and/or recommended improvements to the current Plan.
