DISCUSSION
TO: Parks Commission
AGENDA ITEM: Greenway Trail
FROM: Adam Swanepoel, Assistant Public Works Director REVIEWED BY: Marty Powers, Public Works Director
BACKGROUND: At the August 2023 Parks Commission meeting staff presented information on future trail
connections and current gaps within our trail system. Discussion of future trails brought up
questions regarding the Gateway Trail which is planned to run from Oak Park Heights through Lake Elmo and connect to the Lake Elmo Reserve. Commissioners asked for an update on the Gateway Trail and its future route throughout the city.
The Central Greenway Regional Trail will enhance recreation system by providing a safe and
accessible trail connection between three of the region’s premier regional park facilities, Big Marine Park Reserve, Lake Elmo Park Reserve and Cottage Grove Ravine Regional Park. A fully developed Central Greenway Regional Trail will act as a central arterial route. This is a
link in Washington County’s trail network and will connect several communities and offer
another option to access local areas. When fully developed, the Central Greenway Regional Trail will provide residents of Washington County with direct access to a regional trail that connects three premier regional park facilities: Big Marine Park Reserve, Lake Elmo Park Reserve and Cottage Grove Ravine Regional Park. In addition, the regional trail will provide a separated, off -
road facility for recreation and transportation purposes that will connect with adjacent local trails
and other recreation amenities Connar Schaefer is a Senior Planner at Washington County and will present on the future of the Gateway Trail.
ISSUE BEFORE THE COMMISSION: Are there any questions for the Washington County Senior Planner on the future of the Gateway Trial?
PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS:
The potential of the Greenway trail through the City of Lake Elmo will be a large asset to the community and trail users of Washington County. Of our current users of our trails 45% of them use them for walking and biking. Those results also showed user’s second choice for trial use was biking at 41%.
Commissioners should keep in mind the cities overall contribution to the proposed project. The contribution should be reflected in the CIP when it is reviewed in June. In addition, Commissioners
should continue to look for and address gaps with in our trail system that would assist users from
residential trails to regional trails. FISCAL IMPACT: Fiscal Impacts are outlined in the 2024-2033 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). CIP items are
funded though the Parks Dedication Fund while Operations and Maintenance items are funded
through the Public Works Budget. The current CIP has $520,000 allotted for the contribution of the Gateway Trail. ATTACHMENTS:

STAFF REPORT
DATE: 03/18/2024
MOTION
TO: Parks Commission
AGENDA ITEM: Tablyn Park Parking
FROM: Adam Swanepoel, Assistant Public Works Director
SUBMITTED BY: Marty Powers, Public Works Director
BACKGROUND:
In the summer of 2022, commissioners conducted an onsite review of Tablyn Park. In consideration were
survey results from the community which expressed the need for additional parking. Commissioners took
the results of those comments into consideration and added parking to the CIP for 2024.
Tablyn Park is sought by many in the winter for its great sliding hill. Due to the number of users in the
winter this causes vehicles to park on Stillwater Boulevard in order to utilize the hill. In addition the
upgrade of the tennis courts began in 2023 to include both tennis and pickle ball courts. Staff expects the
number of cars to exceed the current parking spots which are currently available.
The parking topic at Tablyn was brought up and considered in 2015 and in 2018. At that time options
were considered to remove the basketball court and swing for additional parking, sign one side of the
drive isle as no parking or providing additional parking at the bottom of the hill. No action was taken
during either discussion.
ISSUE BEFORE THE COMMISSION:
Would the Parks Commission like to extend the current parking lot to add an additional 10 parking spots?
PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS:
Parking at Tablyn Park has been a discussion with the Parks Commission in the past and continues to be a
topic brought up by some of its users. Currently the park provides about 10 parking stalls. In the past, this
may have been sufficient for its summer amenities however, winter activities continue to become a major
attraction at the park and cause many to park outside of the park in order to utilize it. In an effort minimize
the impact to the park and maximize usable park amenities, additional parking could be provided with the
removal of landscaping.
Extension of the current parking lot to the north 100-110’ along the park entrance road could add 10-11
additional parking stalls. In doing so, three trees would be removed along with 100 feet of black dirt and
sod. Public works staff would construct the removal of trees along with the removal of black dirt, construct
a base using sand and gravel material at a minimal expense.
Considering the proposed area, staff has estimated the following expenses:
Excavating/ Removal $0 – Conducted by PW staff
Gravel Base $0 - PW stock material
Sand Base $4,000
Asphalt $17,000
Boulder Retaining Wall $3500
Parking Blocks $2000
New Trees $1000
FISCAL IMPACT:
Fiscal impacts are outlined in the 2024-2033 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). CIP items are
funded though the Parks Dedication Fund while Operations and Maintenance items are funded
through the Public Works Budget. The current CIP has $75,000 towards additional parking at
Tablyn Park.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the following motion:
“Move to recommend to City Council the proposed extension of the parking lot at Tablyn
Park.”

DISCUSSION
TO: Parks Commission
AGENDA ITEM: Tablyn Park
FROM: Adam Swanepoel, Assistant Public Works Director
SUBMITTED BY: Marty Powers, Public Works Director
BACKGROUND:
Parks Commissioners were asked to review Tablyn Park to discuss any future updates this park could
benefit from. This review comes as this park is beginning to see more users during the summer and winter
months. Tablyn Park is commonly used for recreation due to its large open space and amenities.
Tablyn Park is currently classified as a neighborhood park and is 8.62 acres.
In 2022, the City conducted a community survey on the Park. Results from the parks survey indicated
61% would like to see the basketball court refurbished and 94% would like to see the playset updated.
The tennis courts were reviewed in 2022-2023 and approved to be upgraded to both pickle ball and tennis.
These courts will be completed in the spring of 2024.
ISSUE BEFORE THE COMMISSION:
Would the Parks Commission like to see the Replacement Playset moved?
Would the Parks Commission like to see the Baseball Field Removed?
Would the Parks Commission like to see the Soccer nets in-stalled at Tablyn Park?
Would the Parks Commission like to see the Basketball Court removed or updated in the future?
Would the Parks Commission like to see a pavilion installed at the Park?
PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS:
The current playset is scheduled to be replaced in 2026, this playset was installed in 1997 and has exceeded
its 25 year life span. Staff suggests putting the swing set and playset in the same location when this is
considered for replacement. Would the location of the replacement remain at the bottom of the hill or should
it be considered up near the parking for easier use and access?
With ten baseball fields in the community and the current consideration a pinwheel complex, should
removing this ballfield be considered? Staff currently drags the ballfield weekly in the spring and summer
and sees minimal use of the field during these months. Removal of the field could serve as a wider open
space for such sports at ultimate frisbee and soccer. This would still leave the open field for the sledding
hill in the winter months.
The current basketball court is a half size and currently serves its purpose, the asphalt is in good shape with
minimal cracks or obstructions. Staff is considering resurfacing the court in the next few years as part of a
court resurfacing project. Before adding this item to the list of resurfacing, staff would like consideration
on any improvements or if the courts should be removed.
Tablyn Park currently does not have a shelter or pavilion for rental or community use. Staff has considered
this as a potential amenity that would benefit the increased users of this park.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
At this time there are no financial obligations to any of the considerations. Commissioners
should consider any future items in the upcoming Capital Improvement Plan as well as any
future work plans.
