e. Off-leash dog park. Where could we put one in Mounds View? Oakwood, north of Hillview? Arden, behind compost? Oakwood north on Quincy along freeway? Need to fence, chip, and gate areas? Suggestion to put up a survey box at Town Hall Meeting. Direct Staff to come up with a cost estimate to fence an area north of Hillview in Oakwood green space where old playground used to be. Approximately 40’x100’ with a 5’ fence. Also to measure the space at Arden, north of the compost including the pond. Perhaps bring maps with fencing options for both parks? Need to consider right-of-way of sound wall at Arden. 6. New Business: a. Lambert building replacement fast tracked per city tour discussion. Report on Hillview and Groveland size and will it fit at Lambert? Lambert building 33’x33’ but space enough for existing building Hillview building 21’x52’ Groveland building 22’x56’ Consider glass block window or skylight as alternatives for natural lighting do to location of ice rinks and ball fields to deter hockey puck or baseball window damages. Need to consider parking lot drainage—possible damage to new building? Direct Staff to bring map of Lambert Park and possible building layout to September meeting. Using Groveland building design. With and without tree consideration and parking lot size. b. Revisit fee schedule for field and park building rental Need to consider: classification of organizations, defining “event,” and who is getting the “free event” per week so individual coaches are not reserving the field rotating weeks so as to get them for free. Suggestions: Require league directors to call for field reservations, rather than different coaches. Eliminate free event for field use. Keep free rental for building rental. Have MVCC sit down with Shoreview Area Baseball and IBL to divide up field use so it’s fair. MVCC field and building use summary at September meeting will help drive our discussion. This summary should include which classification, or which groups are reserving the building and/or field c. Bethlehem Baptist Church contribution to city. Anything the Commission would like to put in for requests? Ideas included: disc golf tee boxes, site plans for Lambert building ($15K), Hillview hockey rink resurfacing for rollerblading in summer ($10K), aerator at Silver view installation, path repair at Silver view, Soccer goals at Oakwood Park ($4K). These ideas were presented to the BBC by Commissioner Palm and Steve Dazenski. We have not learned the results as of this meeting. √ d. The subject of Park Dedication Funds to be used on Hillview for parking spaces. This was sent out to all the commissioners last month so that they could think about it between meetings. Suggestion was made to put angled parking from Long Lake Rd. to Greenwood Dr. and perhaps additional space from the parkland for off-street parking. Motion by Aukee, 2nd by Arel that the Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Commission strongly object to the use of Park Dedication Funds for angled parking at Hillview Park based on the mimimal park benefit. Motion Passed 5-0. Motion by Aukee, 2nd that if there is a persistence for the use of Park Dedication Funds be used for this parking arrangement that the Commission have a representative. Motion died for lack of 2nd. e. Town Hall Survey Results: Please include hard copy for September meeting.
