SUBMITTED BY: Kyle Klatt, Planning Director c � REVIEWED BY: Craig Dawson, Interim City Administrator Kelli Matzek, City Planner SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED The City Council is being asked to consider a proposed amendment to the approved landscape plan for the St. Croix's Sanctuary development. This action would require a modification to the OP—Open Space Preservation District requirements which must be approved by a 4/5ths vote of the City Council because it would substantially reduce the number of boulevard trees below the minimum threshold required in the ordinance. Please see the attached report to the Planning Commission and supporting documentation for a full description of this request and the recommendation that has been made by City Staff. Due to the unusual schedule this month that has placed the Planning Commission meeting the day before the second Council meeting of the month, this item is being forwarded to the Council without a written report documenting the Commission's action. The Planning Commission recommendation and any other supporting information that comes out of this meeting will be presented to the Council at its September 15, 2009 meeting. City Council action on this request in September will allow the City to proceed with the implementation of this plan (if approved)yet this fall. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.- See all attached materials that have been submitted to and reviewed by the Planning Commission. RECOMMENDATION: Please refer to the recommendation contained in the Staff report to the Planning Commission.

Planning Commission Report and Attachments Planning Commission Date: 9114/09 St. Croix's Sanctuary Landscape Plan Business item Item: 5a ITEM: Request to Amend the Landscape ian or the Croix's Sanctuary OP Development SUBMITTED BY: Kyle Klatt, Planning Director ,t REVIEWED BY: Kelli Matzek, City Planner Craig Dawson, interim City Administrator SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: The Planning Commission is being asked to consider a proposed amendment to the approved landscape plan for the St Croix's Sanctuary development. This action would require a modification to the OP— Open Space Preservation District requirements which must be approved by a 4/5ths vote of the City Council because it would substantially reduce the number of boulevard trees below the minimum threshold required in the ordinance. Staff is recommending approval of the change for a number of reasons, including the strong desire of the current residents within the subdivision to move away from a more urban, boulevard planting plan and towards the preservation and restoration of natural landscapes within the development area. Stephen Mastey of Landscape Architecture, Inc. will be in attendance at the Planning Commission meeting to more thoroughly review the proposed landscape plan and the rationale for the land management approach that is being recommended. BACKGROUND: The St. Croix's Sanctuary OP (Open Space Preservation) development was approved by the City of Lake Elmo in late 2005, and was subject to a developer's agreement approved a short time later that required certain improvements to the completed by the developer, including the construction of roads, water services, sanitary sewer laterals, landscaping and other improvements. The landscape plan was approved by the City at the preliminary platting stage and met the City's requirement for tree plantings in OP Open Space Preservation districts which is stated as follows in Section 150.180 of the City Code: Boulevard landscaping. Boulevard landscaping is required along all streets to consist of at least 1 tree per every 30 feet or placed in dusters at the same ratio. A landscape plan for the entire site is required and shall consist of at least 10 trees per building site; and trees shall not be not less than 1.5 inch in caliper measured at 54 inches above grade level. The plan approved by the City calls for 590 total trees to be planted throughout the development, with 367 being planted within the boulevard and 223 being planted on private property (including outlots and open space areas). By the time the City was working with the developer to close out the project in the fall of 2008, several of the lots had been built upon with new residents occupying many of these homes. During the staking that was done in preparation for the planting of new trees, these residents became quite concerned that the landscaping plan did not reflect the character of the area. The Homeowner's I Association (HOA) at this time stated its desire to work with the developer to propose a revised concept for landscaping within the project area. Unfortunately, the developer ultimately did not adhere to his obligations under the developer's agreement with the City, and the City was forced to declare the developer to be in default of the agreement earlier this year. The end result of this action is that the City was able to collect on the outstanding financial guarantee for the project and has been working to complete all outstanding improvements using these funds. The amount of money available was limited; however, and needed to cover things like road improvements, utility corrections, grading alterations, in addition to the outstanding landscape work. REVISED PLAN Given the circumstances surrounding this development, including the failure of the developer to complete all required components of the developer's agreement and his general objections to the approved landscape plan, the members of the Sanctuary HOA decided to hire the developer's landscape architect to develop a revised landscape plan for the subdivision. City Staff has met several times with the residents and the landscape architect to work towards a solution that will satisfy all affected parties,with the intent of bringing a revised plan back to the City Council for official action. The objectives of the revised plan include the following: • To respect the residents desire for a more open, prairie feel throughout the development rather than the proposed urban design that would place a high density of trees along boulevard areas, • To make the best possible use of the limited funds available once all important infrastructure corrections have been made. • To develop a framework for ongoing maintenance and preservation of the natural landscape that can be augmented as future funding might become available. s • To allow the City to move closer towards final acceptance of the Sanctuary improvements without further impacting the residents that current live in this subdivision. The plan that has been prepared by landscape Architecture, Inc. is substantially different than the one approved by the City with the preliminary plat. Most notably, there are only nine larger trees to be planted within the common areas, with the bulk of the proposed improvements taking the form of weed treatment, buckthorn and invasive species removal, seeding of prairie and transition areas, and other restoration work. This plan has been reviewed by the City Forester, and in her attached report, she states her approval of the proposed management plan. The landscape architect for the project will be in attendance at the meeting to more fully describe the features of the revised landscape and natural area management plan. The plans that have been submitted to the City do not include the landscaping that has been performed to date on the private lots that have been developed, which in some cases, is fairly substantial. Also, the developer did complete a portion of the approved plan at the entrance to the subdivision, and therefore, has previously planted 40 trees at the entrance to the development. Furthermore, the covenants associated with this development require each new home builder to plant at least two trees on lots with new homes, which will result a minimum of 76 trees being planted in the future. Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the revised landscape plan for the St. Croix's Sanctuary subdivision, and specifically is recommending this action because the proposed plan will help accomplish the objectives outlined above. This recommendation includes the approval of a waiver from the OP District requirements to permit a plan that does not meet the number of trees otherwise required to be planted under this ordinance. Staff further recommends that this approval be contingent on the following: i • Adherence to all recommendations of the City Forester as documented in a report to the City dated September 8, 2009. • That two trees per new building site be provided near the public boulevard and clustered along lot lines prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for new homes on all undeveloped lots. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: • The original landscape plan is attached for review by the Planning Commission. This is the plan that will be replaced should the City approve the revised landscape proposal. • As noted above, this action will require a 415ths vote of the City Council since it would authorize a waiver of the OP District provisions related to landscaping. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the revised landscape plan for the St. Croix's Sanctuary development subject to the following conditions: • The implementation of the plan shall adhere to all recommendations from the City Forester as documented in a report to the City dated September 8, 2009. • Two trees per new building site shall be provided near the public boulevard and clustered along lot lines prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for new homes on all undeveloped lots as of September 15, 2009.

Box 832 Lake Elmo, MN 55042 RESTORATION OFPRAIRIEAND OAKSAYANNA PLANT COMMUNITIES AT SANCTUARYINLAKE ELMO, MN Sanctuary is apart of the Anoka Sand Plain Ecoregion, a landscape known for its mosaic of tallgrass prairie and deciduous forest. The current landscape cover is a mosaic of grassland, woodland, and wetland habitats. Non-native plants are dominant across each habitat type. For example, the grasslands are generally dominated by non-native grasses introduced from Europe. Areas dominated by non-native plant species, generally, have less wildlife (butterflres, birds, amphibians, etc.) and lower soil and water quality. The long-term and collective goal is to restore the land at Sanctuary to native prairies,woodlands,and wetlands. Ptaitie Establishment, We would propose to prepare the seed bed, control erosion, supply & install the seed to establish the native dry upland praise (see attached quote and map). A single dry upland species (Blue gra na) would be established along the roads and paths. The majority of area would be seeded to our dry upland seed mix (G1/F1, xeric) which contains 27 species of native wildflowers and seven species of grasses. Our seed (see attached list) primarily originates from local sources in the Anoka Sand Plain and neighboring ecoregions, ensuring that these species are naturally adapted to the soil and climate of this region. Buckthorn Control• Buckthorn is a noxious shrub that has invaded the majority of oak savanna and deciduous forest areas of Sanctuary. The first step to restoring these areas is to remove the mature buckthorn and chemically treat the stumps. We have identified four areas (3.31 acres total) that contain the highest densities of buckthorn within large, old growth oak and other native tree stands. We propose the removal of tine buckthorn and other noxious shrubs in these areas. _2_ August 30,2009 To furnish and install the following Trees via 85" Machine move Tree Spade 6 Autumn Blaze Maple @ 6 inch caliper (31,500 Each) $9,000 3 Oak But @ 5.5 inch caliper ($1,500 Each) $4,500 Includes: one year plant warranty, Fall 2009: 3 waterings, hardwood shredded bark mulching&Tree Protection (hardware cloth), Summer 2010: 5 waterings & one slow release fertilizer application.

The current landscape cover is a mosaic of grassland,woodland, and wetlands.Non-native plants are dominant across each landscape type.For example,the grasslands are generally dominated by non-native grasses introduced from Europe.Areas dominated by non-native plant species,generally, have less wildlife (butterflies, birds,amphibians, etc.)and lower soil and water quality. Some of the non-native species at Sanctuary are listed as federal or state prohibited noxious weeds and,by law,must be controlled on private and public lands. The prohibited noxious weeds at Sanctuary include Canada Thistle,Bull Thistle, and Musk Thistle. In this report,we first classified each landscape type to the following:wetland, grassland, woodland, or agricultural field. We estimated the percent cover of native versus non- native species to provide information on the ecological condition of each area. That said, not all non-native plants are noxious or invasive species. We provide a general measure of landscape quality(low,medium,high)based on the native versus non-native plant composition(Chart one,columns three and four);resulting in the overall assessment of native plant diversity (landscape quality,Chart 1,Column 5).

Areas with the highest density of invasive plants have a "high"management priority. Areas with moderate invasive plant densities are suggested as a"medium"management priority. Lastly, "low"areas are those with few invasive plants and are considered to have a low management priority. Chart 2- Management Priorities: High Densities of Invasive Plant Populations. High indicates high densities of invasive or prohibited noxious plants and a required need for management. Medium indicates less invasive or noxious plants and a moderate need for management. Low indicates less invasive/no noxious plants and little need for management relative to other areas in the short-term.

Without control, these populations are likely to spread and cause further problems, In the Wooded areas (5 and 21) invasive common buckthorn is highly dense and has formed an almost impenetrable thicket. Highlighted grassland areas contain high densities of the noxious weeds:Bull Thistle, Canada Thistle,Musk Thistle, Spotted Knapweed, and Wild Parsnip. All of the above species are non-native, invasive, and highly problematic. The thistle species are deemed prohibited noxious weeds and are to be controlled in accordance with state law.For images and plant descriptions please see the Minnesota DNR information included as appendices at the end of this document.

Page 1 of 2 i Buckthorn Common buckthorn (Rhamnus E � cathartica) was first brought to Minnesota from Europe in the mid-1800s as a very popular hedging material. Shortly after its introduction here, it was found to be quite invasive in natural areas. The nursery industry stopped selling it in the 1930s, j but many buckthorn hedges may still be found in older neighborhoods throughout Minnesota. Glossy buckthorn (Frangula alnus), also from Europe, has been sold by the nursery trade in two different forms. The �. cultivar Columnaris has a narrow and tall Buckthorn is form; the cultivar Aspenifolia spreads up one of the most to 10 feet and has narrow leaves that invasive species give it a ferny texture. This buckthorn found in aggressively invades wetlands including Minnesota. acidic bogs, fens and sedge meadows. Why Is buckthorn such a problem? 3 ■ Out-competes native plants for nutrients, light, and moisture n Degrades wildlife habitat n Threatens the future of forests, wetlands, prairies, and other natural habitats i . Contributes to erosion by shading out other plants that grow on the forest floor . Serves as host to other pests, such as crown rust fungus and soybean aphid .

It grows a rosette in its first 1 year and blooms in its second year. Leaves: Alternate, coarsely lobed, each lobe with a spine at " its tip. Spines extend downward from the leaves along j prominent ridges of the stem. Upper leaf surface is rough. Flowers: Disk-shaped flowerheads contain hundreds of tiny individual purple flowers which bloom from July through August. Seeds: Numerous straw-colored seeds with plume-like bristles are dispersed by wind. They remain viable in the soil for over 10 years. I Roots: Each plant has a fleshy taproot. , r Ecological Threat: • It colonizes primarily in disturbed areas such as pastures, roadsides, and ditch banks, but also in s hayfields and disturbed prairies. ■ Bull thistle is distasteful to most grazing animals, giving the thistle a competitive edge. ■ It generally does not pose a threat to high quality areas. 1 http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/invasives/terrestrialplants/herbaceous/bullthistle.htmI 7/15/2009 Bull thistle- Invasive species: Minnesota D-NR Page 2 of 2 Does not withstand cultivation. • It was introduced to the U.S. in the early 1800s from ' Europe and Asia. • Bull thistle is on the MDA Prohibited noxious weeds list in Minnesota. Control Methods: Mechanical Pulling or mowing in Pulling or mowing in and dispose off- site to avoid reseeding Chemical Spot-spraying with glyphosate, triclopyr or metsulfuron when plants are in rosette stage (first year) in the fall when non-target plants are less susceptible Biological Thistlehead-feeding weevil and rosette-feeding weevil.

It has male and female plants. Leaves: Alternate, smooth, oblong, tapering, and directly t attached to the stem, deeply divided, with prickly margins. Flowers: Numerous small purple flowers appear on top of the upper branched stems between June and September. Seeds: Small light brown seeds are tufted for dispersal by ? the wind. Seeds remain viable in the soil for over 20 years. I Roots: Each plant has a fibrous taproot with wide spreading horizontal roots. Each small section of root can form a new E plant enabling the plant to spread vegetatively. Ecological Threat: ■ Canada thistle invades natural areas such as prairies, savannas, glades and dunes if some degree of disturbance already exists. It also invades wet areas with fluctuating water levels such as streambanks, sedge meadows and wet prairies. http;//www.dnr.state.nin.us/invasives/terrestrialplants/herbaceous/canadathistle.html 7/15/2009 Canada thistle -Invasive species: Minnesota DNR Page 2 of 2 ■ Once it has established itself it spreads quickly replacing native plants, diminishing diversity. It grows in circular patches spreading vegetatively through horizontal roots which can spread 10 -12' in one season. ■ Canada thistle occurs throughout the northern U.S. from northern California to Maine and southward to Virginia and in Canada. ■ It has been declared a noxious weed in 43 states as one of the most tenacious agricultural weeds. ■ Canada thistle is on the MDA Prohibited noxious weeds list in Minnesota. Control Methods: Mechanical Repeated pulling and mowing will weaken roots, mowing when flower buds are just to open Late spring burns May/June are most detrimental, but also stimulate seed germination; burn consecutively for 3 years Chemical Spot application with glyphosate or with selective herbicide clopyralid, or metsulfuron Biological Stem weevil, bud weevil and stem gall fly are commercially available http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/invasives/terrestrialplants/herbaceous/eanadathistle.html 7/15/2009 Musk or nodding thistle-Invasive species: Minnesota DNR Page 1 of 2 Musk or nodding thistle Carduus nutans s s Description: Appearance: Biennial herbaceous plant, between 1 1/2 - 6' tall, multi-branched stem. Plants overwinter in the rosette stage. Leaves: Alternate, coarsely lobed, dark green with light green midrib, smooth and hairless. Large first year rosette leaves. Flowers: Disk-shaped flowerheads contain hundreds of tiny individual purple flowers which bloom from dune through July. Flowerheads droop to a 90 degree angle from the stem when mature. Roots: Each plant has a fibrous taproot. Plumeless Thistle - Carduus acanthoides (no picture) is very similar especially in rosette stage, hybridizes readily with above; flowers are one-third the size of above and not nodding, underside of leaf is hairy.

Basal leaves form a rosette the first year from which grow 1- 20 wiry, hoary, branched stems during the second year. Leaves: Alternate, grayish, hoary, and divided into lance- shaped lobes decreasing in size at the top. Flowers: Thistle-like pink to purple flowers sit at the tips of terminal and axillary stems, bloom from July through September. Seeds: Brownish, 1/4" long with small tuft of bristles, dispersed by rodents, livestock and commercial hay. Seed viable in the soil for 7 years. Roots: Stout taproot. Lateral shoots form new rosettes near the parent plant. Caution: Wear long sleeves and gloves, can be a skin irritant to some people. Ecological Threat: http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/invasives/terrestrialplants/herbaceous/spottedknapweed.htmi 7/15/2009 • Especially threatens dry prairie, oak and pine barrens, dunes and sandy ridges. • Spotted knapweed is poisonous to other plants (phytotoxic). • Spreads rapidly in artificial corridors, gravel pits, agricultural field margins and overgrazed pastures. • A native of Europe and. Asia it has become a serious problem in pastures and rangeland of the western states. ■ It is on the MDA Secondary noxious weeds list in Minnesota. Control Methods: Mechanical Early detection and pulling Mowing as needed so plants cannot go to seed Prescribed burning, only very hot burns are effective which may also damage native plants Chemical Apply selective herbicide clopyralid during bud growth in early June for best results (48 oz per 100 gal water). Use caution in quality natural areas herbicide affects native plants of the sunflower and pea family as well.

Flowers: Flat-top ped broad flower cluster 2 - 6 wide, numerous five-petaled yellow flowers; bloom from June to late summer. Seeds: Small, flat, round, slightly ribbed, strawcolored, abundant take 3 weeks to ripen before they can reseed; viable in the soil for 4 years. i Roots: Long, thick, edible taproot. 1 Warning - Avoid skin contact with the toxic sap of the plant tissue by wearing gloves, long sleeves and long pants. The juice of wild parsnip in contact with skin in the presence of sunlight can cause a rash and blistering and discoloration of the skin t (phytophotodermatitis). Ecological 'Threat: • Well established prairies are not likely to be invaded by wild parsnip, but it readily moves into disturbed habitats, along edges and or in disturbed patches. It invades slowly, but once population builds it spreads rapidly and can severely modify open dry, moist, and wet-moist habitats. ■ It is primarily a problem in southeastern Minnesota in prairies and oak openings. • A native of Europe and Asia this plant has escaped from cultivation, it is grown as root vegetable, and is common throughout the U.S. Control Methods: Mechanical Do nothing in healthy prairies, natives can sometimes outcompete the parsnip Hand pulling and removing of plants Cut the plant below the root crown before seeds set, and remove the cut plant Mow or cut the base of the flowering stem and remove Chemical Use sparingly in quality habitats Spot application with glyphosate or selective metsulfuron after a prescribed burn, parsnip is one of the first plants to green up Minnesota and Federal Prohibited and Noxious Plants by Scientific Name (complied by the Minnesota DNR's Exotic Species Program 12-30-99) Key: FN - Federal noxious weed (USDA-Animal Plant Health Inspection Service) SN - State noxious weed (Minnesota Department of Agriculture) RN - Restricted noxious weed (Minnesota Department of Agriculture) CN - State noxious weed in some counties (Minnesota Department of Agriculture) PE - Prohibited exotic species (Minnesota Department of Natural Resources) PS - State prohibited weed seed (Minnesota Department of Agriculture) RS - State restricted weed seed (Minnesota Department of Agriculture) (See explanationsof these classifications below the lists of species) Scientific Name Common names Regulatory Classification Aquatic plants: Azolla pinnata R.

Widin [kdwidin@comcast.net] Sent: Tuesday, September 08, 2009 10:15 AM To: Kyle Klatt; Ryan W. Stempski; Keili Matzek; Stephen Mastey Subject: Sanctuary Landscape Plan Lake Elmo Staff - I have reviewed the landscape plan for the Sanctuary development which was recently submitted to the city. The original landscape plan, which was approved by the Lake Elmo City Council, was never implemented by the developer. During the time which ensued since the development was approved, homes have been built and lots landscaped by property owners. Now that landscaping is in on private property and residents have had time to observe the land and vistas, they have expressed interest in changing the landscape plan to better fit the development as it is now and would prefer to enhance the natural land cover that exists there. Development funds available for landscaping are limited and Mr. Mastey's plan reflects what can be done by using a habitat restoration approach with the -Funds available. The plan recently submitted is quite different than the one originally submitted, particularly in that it does not contain the several hundred boulevard trees originally proposed for the project. Planting boulevard trees now, when a number of residents have already completed their front yard landscaping, was not favored by the Sanctuary homeowner's association. The open vistas of native prairie and wetland landscapes with enhanced native tree stands appeal to the residents who are already in the development. For open space developments, where conservation of natural areas and native plant communities is paramount, enhancing the plant communities already present on the site makes sense. I have reviewed the site condition plan, which prioritizes areas for management of non- native invasive plants, the landscape plan and plant lists, which show some areas to be seeded with prairie grasses and wildflowers, and proposes planting nine large shade trees. All invasive plant management work and plantings will take place in common, open areas of the development such as designated outlots and open space. Control of non-native, invasive plants is important in the restoration of native woodland, wetland and grassland habitats. The plan and recommendations for how this will be accomplished are appropriate in terms of the plants involved and the degree of habitat degradation in each area of the development. Seeding of some areas of the development with native grasses and wildflowers will follow invasive plant management. The techniques and plants listed for this site are appropriate for the work which is being done and the end result desired. Buckthorn management for this project proposes 1 cutting and treating for larger buckthorn in native woodland areas of the development. Treating/pulling of seedlings will also need to be done for a number of years after the original treatment to keep the buckthorn from re-establishing in the woodlands. As the buckthorn is removed in future years, planting of native trees, shrubs, and ground-layer plants will be necessary to fully restore the area. The nine shade trees to be planted are good species to be used, with few serious insect or disease problems. The tree size is larger than I would normally recommend, but a large (85 in.) tree spade will be used to transplant the trees. Mulching and watering for the trees is recommended for this fall and waterings are also scheduled for the 2010 growing season. After-care for such large trees is important to avoid additional transplant stress and attack by insect borers and fungal canker disease fungi. Part of the rationale for planting larger trees was also to avoid damage from bucks rubbing their antlers on smaller (1.5-3 in. diam. ) trees and killing them. A deer control barrier will be put up around the tree trunks after planting to minimize deer damage. From a design perspective for this development, a few, large trees will make more of a visual impact while allowing the prairie 1 and wetland plant communities to be viewed. This type of plan, with fewer trees, will require less maintenance overall than a plan emphasizing many, smaller trees. I approve the management plan and planting plan for this development. With the constraints upon this development, in terms of landscaping already planted by residents and limited funds available for common area landscaping, I think this is the best plan for the site at this time. Hopefully, the HOA will be able to accomplish additional work on this site in the future to further manage the open space and continue to establish higher quality natural areas. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this landscape plan review. Kathy Widin Forestry Consultant City of Lake Elmo 2 CA NCTUARY Fo1z, Freeryian, Erickson, Inc.

SUBMITTED BY; Park Commission REVIEWED BY: Carol Kriegler, Project Assistant Jerry Mazzera, Project Architect Craig Dawson, Interim City Administrator Mike Bouthilet, Park Superintendent SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: The City Council authorized Jerry Mazzera of Design Forum to develop construction documents related to the construction of two picnic shelters, one sized at approximately 20'x20' and another at approximately 20'x32'. The smaller shelter is intended to accommodate 2-4 picnic tables and would be placed in a.smailer city park serving users largely from the immediate neighborhood. The larger shelter is intended to accommodate 6 or so picnic tables and would be.placed in a larger:city park serving users from the broader community (i.e, youth groups, scout troops, family reunions, etc.) The City currently does not have a picnic shelter in any of its parks. The shelter designs were developed with the intention of carrying the design forward in future picnic shelters and park amenities throughout the city's park system The City Council is being asked to accept a proposal from Stotko Speedling Construction for the construction of a 20'x20' picnic shelter at Carriage Station Park at a cost of$36,500.00 with the expenditure coming out of the park capital improvement fund. In addition, the Council is being asked to authorize expenditures of up to $2,000,00 for equipment rental, materials and supplies related to site preparation, restoration and landscaping work that would be done by the City's public works staff. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City's Draft Park Capital improvement program includes $26,000 for a picnic shelter in Carriage Station Park and $30,000 for a picnic shelter in DeMontreville Park. The Park Commission's 2009 Work Plan identifies shelter construction at Carriage Station and DeMontreville Parks as high priorities. Lowe$ Companies Inc. offered the city a grant of materials and supplies valued at approximately $11,000 to be used for the construction of a park picnic shelter. The City has received some building materials already and is awaiting receipt of additional materials and a gift card with a balance of approximately $3,700.00 to be used for additional material purchases. Contractors were made aware of the availability of these resources during the proposal process. The Lake Elmo Jaycees have also offered to support the project through a gift of$4,000. Proposals were received for the construction of a smaller shelter at Carriage Station Park and a larger shelter at Demontreville Park. Contractors were asked to provide proposals for the construction of the shelters individually as well as together, if built concurrently. The Park Commission reviewed the proposals and has recommended on a unanimous vote to move 1 forward with the construction of the smaller shelter at Carriage Station Park. The Park Commission has expressed that they would like to reconsider locations for the larger shelter and delay'construction of the larger shelter until next spring. Since materials received to date from Lowes are based on the larger shelter, there will be the need to continue to store some building materials until that time. Proposals for construction of the smaller shelter are as follows: Stotko Speedling _ $36,500.00 DNR Construction $36,679.00 Associated Construction Services $53,065.50 . RECOMMENDATION: Acceptance of Stotko Speedling's proposal for the construction of a picnic shelter at Carriage Station Park for a cost of$36,500.00, as well as authorization of expenditures of up to$2,000 for equipment rental, materials and supplies for use by the public works staff for work related to site preparation, restoration and landscaping. SUGGESTED MOTION: Move:approval of acceptance of the Stotko Speedling proposal for construction of a park shelter in Carriage Station Park at a cost of$36,500.00 and authorization of expenditures for equipment rental; supplies and materials related to site preparation, restoration and landscaping to be conducted by the public works staff with the expenditures coming from the Park Capital Improvement Fund, ATTACHMENTS 1 Shelter Drawings 2: Stotko Speedling Proposal 2 aa� a lit tr a � s A i 4 I S- TOT SPEEDLING 9r1 ar�oa� Lake Elmo Park,9helters Jerry Mazzarn 4801 Weet$1st Street Suito 1D9 MInrlsapolls,MN 5$437 Proposal For: City of Lake FJmo Parks Departmont Dow,ferry, Stotko'Speedling Construction 19 ptoased to submit n proposal for the Park Shelters located 81 Carri4ge Station Park and DoMontreviiie Park In Lake Elmo, MN Our proposal was based an the following bid documents: Architectural_ Prepared By: Design Forum Doted: 511MD09 Speoifinations: Prepared ay: Designs Forum Dated; ati812009 BABE 131D AMOUNT; OPTION#2 Shelter A $36,500 -Me following Atternaties are not included in the base bid amount+snd should be added or subtracted from the total If accepted, A,ltelmalto 01: Add 51,Slab on Grade in lien of 4' shelter A $378.00 Alternaft 92: Add lee &Water underlaftent at roof 5t350.04 Proposal Exclusions: Please notify Stotko Speedling Construction if any of these items are to be Included in the pra�o�al. 1.

The general direction that has been provided thus far to Staff is that there needs to be increased diligence in removing these signs that are illegally placed in right-of-way areas and that in general,these signs have become a public nuisance over time. The City's Ordinance currently reads as follows with regards to signs placed within the right-of- way: Public lands and rights-of-way. No signs other than governmental signs shall be erected or temporarily placed within any street right-of-way or upon public lands or easements or rights-of-ways without Council approval. One of the issues that impacts the City's ability to enforce this ordinance is that not all streets in the City have a uniform boulevard area, if any at all. The City Code does allow certain signs to be placed on private property in all zoning districts, so it is important for the City to verify the limits of public boulevards in order to properly enforce the code. In areas where there is a clearly defined boulevard (where sidewalks have been installed for instance), this documentation is not as much of an issue. In terms of developing a policy on the enforcement of these types of signs, Staff is suggesting that the Council either support or modify the following: Proposed policy regarding signs on public boulevards: • The City will remove any sign placed within a public right-of-way that has not received Council approval for placement in said right-of-way. • All confiscated signs will be held by the City for a maximum of 14 days, after which time the signs will be destroyed. • The City will not make any special attempts to contact the owner of a sign confiscated from a public right-of-way, but will allow sign owner to pick up their signs during normal business hours at City hall within the two-week retention period. The City Council may consider providing Staff with some additional direction regarding its interpretation of what is considered a "governmental sign", and if this sign type should include announcements for community events or other messages sponsored by a public entity. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: ■ Please note that the ordinance language quoted above was not introduced with the recent sign code amendment and has been in place for many years. RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the Council provide direction regarding the policy discussion and interpretations noted above.
