and Forestry Director ��
DATE: DeceRber 10. 1979 ��
RE: Sitver VieN ParA Acyuisit!::.� �
In additian to the enclosed five naps, I have also prepared a brief background on ��
the park acquisition status of Silver View Park dating back to August, 1976:
1. The tity of hbunds VSew currently holds fee sinple title to 16.9 acres
of park land at the intersection of County Road H-2 and Silver Lake Road.
2. The original grant for additional acquisition tif park land for Silver .
View Park was submitted by the City of Mounds View in August of 1976.
Mr. Dou9las Bryant was the Director of the Parks and Recreatton Department .
at that time and the grant was originally approved at 5150,000 for funding �.
in 1977. This grant application was for the acqu5sition of aDProximately
19 acres of land directly north of the City's existiny park la�d.
3. The ariginal grant was not processed properly in 1977 which made for a
two year delay in receiving the final acquisition's approval which was
finally granted ta Uie City on June 25, 1979.
4. Mr. Uoug Bryant resigned his positfon with the City in August, 1977 and I
was then appointed as the Director of Parks and Recreation in Novenber, 1977.
5. In July, 1978 I submitted a grant application for the Phase 1 derelop�rent
of Sil�er Yiew Park based on the acquisition of land north of the City's
existing land.
6. The Phase 1 developnent of Silver View was approved for a total of $105,100 incl
�ng trail developnent monies. Developirent slated for Phase 1 inctudes:
Site inproveirent $1i3,264
Nater system 20,000
Balifield 9,550
Parking lot and access road 30,360
Desi9n and engineering 6.500
PaUiway/bikeway system 18,676
Audit 1,750
Totat 5105,1U0
7. We �+ere inforned by your office not to begin fornwl negotiations for the ��
land acquisition until the agreements were finalized whicb was June 25, 1979.-
8. Since Lhat time City sjaff has met with Kraus-Anderson, owners of the land
in quest5on, on Six separate occassions, and they submitted a counter pro-
posal to the City which would invotve a land "swap" of the City's ezisting
land for land on the northwest corner of Sitver lake Road and County RoSd I
(See attached letter).
9. Staff concurs wlth Kraus-Anderson that this proposed land swap rould benefit
both parties and we have continued to explore that Dossibilfty.
10. As of 12/10/79, the City has not consumated any land sa1e, but we will be
reques N ng conceptuai approval from the City Council fn the first two weeks
in January. (See enclosed resolutton fram City Council).
.
' Mr. Imm
12/10/79
A brief description of each of the enclosed maps is as follows:
Page 2
Definitions: 1. Oriainal L.N.W.G.O.N. �rant - Tnis was ine grani swwitied irn
August, 1976.
2. Revised L.A.W.C.O.N. Grant - This is the land that is being proposed
for Acquisition in 1979.
1, Map ol - This map shows two items:
a. The 16.9 acres the City presently owns.
b. The area labled L.A.W.L.O.N. is the original 19 acres of land that
was proposed in the original grant submitted in August, 1976.
2. Map d2 - This map clarifies the proposed land "swaps" that are being considered ����
by the Lity of Ibunds View, Kraus/Anderson, and State Planning Agency:
a. Parcel Ml (existing 16.9 acres of City park land) is being "swapped" for
parcel H4 (16.9 acres of Kraus/Anderson property).
b. Parcel 82 (approximately 10 acres of land which was orginally proposed in �.
August, 1976) will remain as Kraus/Anderson property and Parcei M3 (property '
awned by Kraus/Anderson, 12 acres in size) will be purchased with the
revised L.A.W.L.O.N. grant monies. The "striped" area (7 acres) is slated �
for acquisition under both the original and revTsed grant proposals.
3. Map M3 - This nup outlines the final 19 acres that would be acquired with the
revised grant proposal Wtallin9 5136,800. Once again,. the only dSfference
between the ariginal and the revised grant is the "saap" of ezisting park la�d �
and to purchase 12 acres north of the original site.
4. Map ti4 - This map shows the final park location whicA will total approzimatety
53.2 acres of land including a 12.8 acre pond area.
5. MaD M5 - This map defines the final park boundary (solid line) with the proposed
locations of facitities rithin the park parameter.
In summary, the following benefits wouid be derived from the revised L.A.W.C.O.N. .
grant proposaL•
1. The City park would have improved vebicular access from Lounty Hoad I rather
than County Road N-2 or Silver Lake Raad.
2. The access road costs would be reduced as the developer will be installing
the initial curD cut off from County Road I.
3. 11 1Y.8 acre lake wilt be created et the developer's expense.
4. The Lrail network wilt be increased thrne fold under the revised proposal.
5. The City will have access from all four major corners rether than the
originsl two points in the orlginal grant.
�',Mr. Lim Paye 3
'� 12/10/79 . - :.
6. lhe developer witl submit a P.U.U. plan for the surrounding property to
. include single family homes, a strip of comnerical along Hfghway 10,
duplexes along the periphery and twa office/apartu�ent complexes along 10.
). The sane planning firm will be usr.d for both the P.U.D. and Park site
to ensure nwxinwm benefit of the property.
8. The park acreage will be increased from Lhe oriyinal 35 acres to 53.2 acres
of land.
9. The City will have six additional atres of developable land under the revised
proDosa L
10. The current appraisals conipleted on the property shnw a financial benefit
of approximately $35,000.
11. The developer can make 6etter use of the City owned land through a housing
developirent whSch will leave the majority of the trees intact.
In conclusion as the Wo parcels of tand in question are adjacent properties, it is
the City's contention that a possible re-location of the par•k is not a major planning
issue and that the major considerations should be:
1. Soil types
2. Topography
3. Uevelopment cost
4. Ingress and egress
5. Hydrology analysis
6. AcquisitSon costs
7. Vegetation analysis
8. Surrounding land use

FROM: Staf i
RE: Plann M ontra t
Enclosed is a copy of a proposed contract that has been drafted through a
caoperative effort by staff and Mr. Gary Tushie and Mr. Barry Thalden
representing Saunders and Thalden, Inc.
Before I review the proposed contract it should be noted that there was
a great deal of negotiating and compromising between the City and Saunders/
Thalden, Ioc. to reach this point. Specific iterts that have been deleted
or modified to reach our maximum figure are as foilows:
1. Elimination of tbe park bond brochure mockup - Valued at $600.00.
2. Reduction of one park site from the master planning process
(Lakeside Park) - Yalued at $880.00.
3. Reduced final copies of stuQy from 40 to 35 - Valued at $125.00.
4. City will be pdying the printing costs for the questionnaire as
well as the distribution and collating - Valued at $200.00.
5. City s Wff is inventoring the private recreation facilities located
within the City i.e. bowling alleys, movie theaters, etc. - Valued
at $150.00.
6. Saunders has agreed to include a minimum of four graphics in the
fioal book7et - Yalued at $300.00.
7. Saunders will be expanding the Capital liryrovement Program to
include prforities, funding source, and depreciation cos u-
Valued at $500.00.
8. Eliminatton of all extra costs, i.e. travel, extra printing ,
adEitional consulWttons - Valued at $1,500.00.
With that background staff would recoimend that the following phrases or
word changes should be considered by the Parks and Recreation Commisston
priar to final approval:
Planning Contract Memo
1. Under Scope of Project, #III
Page 2
Add the following, "Saunders an�_Thalden shall develop and deliver
master park concept plans for o1$id!`individual park sites which will
become the exclusive property of the City."
The reason for this clarification is ta ensure that the City reta5n5
ownership and rights to alt printed documentation that is prepared
by the planning firm.
2. Under Fees, Add two words "shall not exceed $15,000.00.
3. Under the Understanding section change the word will to � enter
into a contract with Saunders and Thalden and Associates, Inc.. ..
Staff would recoimiend that the entire paragraph should be deleted but if it
is not deleted the word m�y is far less b�nding than will.
With the aforementianed modifications, Staff would recomrend that the Parks
Comnission make a motion to "endorse" the contract and recomnend radification
by the City Council.

FROM: Staf
RE: Youth etic Task Force
SWff has been interested in pursuing the cancept of developing a youth
athletic task force for the past two years and we are now beginning to
formulate soire goals and objectives for such a committee. As you're aware
the youth of Mounds View are being served by a number of athletic associ-
ates ranging from Lake Region Hockey to the Mounds View Footbalt Association.
At this point tn ttire there is no coordination between the different sports
as far as season length, practice dates, times or length, prices, rules,
coaching crlteria, orientation sessions, rule interpretation clinics. The list
ts endless and would not be the intent of this task force to address each of
these issues.
The task force would initially focus in on the youth athiet5c programs our
department dlrectly coordlnates such as:
1. T-Balt
2. &Ba11
3. Youth S�ftball
4. Flag Football
5. Swimming instruction
6. Tennis
1. Soccer
8. Girls Baskettatl
9. Ice Skating instruction
Once we formrllu our own department's program efforts from both a philosoph-
1oa1 and workl��g sWndpoint we would begin to branch out tnto the following
eroas:
i. Developing a certificaticn program for youth coaches.
2. firylementing and coordinating a coaches clinic and training session
Ior alt youth sports coaches involving philosophy, first aid, social
qynemlcs of youth sports, rule interpretattons, etc.
3. EstabllsMng a"Presidents Ca�ciP' wi-th representatives from each of
the athletic associations to meet yuarterly to discuss common proble�,
season overlaps, faN H ty usege, e*c.
Youth Athletic Task Force Merta Page 2
4. Developing overidi�g philosophies and program facilitation procedures
Uat can be used by all youth athletic associations.
Additional items that could be considered are training sessions in
scheduling, parliamentary procedure, group dynamics, comnittee
organization> flyer preparation, evaluation techniques, and public
relations.
We have just begun to plant this seed for this type of committee through a
recent mailing to our youth athletic coaches. I have enclosed a copy of the
sports line publ5cation which was mailed to each of our youth coaches with a
cover letter notifying them of our intent.
As we are still in the formutative stage we are seeking input from the
Comnission as to what directions they might envision a task force such as
this mSght take. Following the Comm555ion's input staff will be drafting
a oery specific list of goals and objectives for such a committee and report
back to the Commission in January.

FROM: Bruce K. Mderson, Directo > k,�ation & Forestry
DATE: Nove�rber 27, 1979
RE: Monthly Update
The purpose of this report is to keep the Parks and Recreation Comnission
informed on current issues within the Parks, Recreation and Forestry
Department that do not need official Commission action:
7. Winter Recreation Brochure - The winter recreation brochure will
be distributed at the Comnission meeting on Thursday evening.
It will be back from the printer on Wednesday, Novertber 28, 1979
and should be in the residents ho�res no later than Saturddy,
December 1. As this was the City's first attempt to consolidate
the City newsletter and brochure staff will be curious as to your
reaction to the new format.
A brief listing of the new program offerings inctude:
a. Cross Country Ski lessons
b. Merry Christmas Party
c. Girls after-school basketball
d. Kid-Napers
e. Evening Bridge
2. Studeit intern - As I have alreaqy mentioned, Mr. Jeff Stottlemeyer
will b.; interning with our deparmtent beginning December 3 and drawing
to a close in Mid-March.
3. Tree planting at Lakeside Park - Under the direction of Jack Shields
the City planted approximately 20 trees during the past 2 weeks that
were donated to the Lakeside Park Gommssion. They are a welcome
add+tian to the park.
4. Mrs. J.C.'s donation - The Mrs. J.C.'s have agreed to purchase the
on� bench as the CommissSon outlined at the October 23 meetSng.
5. N.R.v.A. Congress - I am Sn the process of completing a written report
on N.R.P.A. Congress, suffSce it to say that ft was an excellent
educational as well as a recreational excursion for all involved.
hbnthly Update

6. Mounds View Sno-MOUnties - I met with the Mounds View Sno-Fbunties
S�owmobite Club on FloveRber 7, 1979 to dtscuss the possfbility of
developing an offictal trail through the City. The club felt the
idea was worth pursutng and they will be appointing a sub-committee
to work with staff to explore the trail possibilities further.
7. I.B.A. Clinic - SWff worked with the I.B.A. and Mr. Jae Pilon new
head basketball coach at Irondale High School on presenting a coaches
first aid and sportsmanship cllnic an Tuesday, Novemtier 13. It was
a good experience to work with the association on some real "nitty-
gritty" phitosophical issues.

RE: Portable warming house buildings
Mr. Russ Born, a representative from Satellite Industries contacted our
office today regarding the use of chemical toilet facilities in our City
parks. As Dart of his sales presentation he mentioned a new pilot program
which Sateltite Industries has just begun marketing. The item is the
construction of portable winter warming houses. The warming houses come
in 3 sizes:
8' x 10' - 1 heater - 3 storm windows, 1 door -$2>695.
8' x 20' - 2 heaters - 4 storm windows, 1 door -$3,330.
8' x 32' - 3 heaters - 6 storm windows. 2 doors -$5,795.
In addition each of the buildings comes standard with the folloraing package:
1. 3/4" plywood on floor and 3/8" plywoad on walls.
2. Butlt in benches.
3. Heavy duty door with panic bar.
4. De-mountable trailer hitch.
5. Alumir�rn siding on exterior.
6. R-11 ineutation in the walls with R-14 in the floor and ceiling.
7. All htaL is electric with 4.8 killowatt heaters (additional
heaters cost $135.00.
In addition to the above they can be equipped with separate bathroom facilities
at a cost of approximately $500.00 plus $150.00 for an extra door.
As I mentioned this is a pilot program and we would be the first customer W
purchase a unit but from � initial conversation with Satellite it appears
that thls coocept m�y have some practical usage for Groveland Park on an
imrediate use afth more extensive use for other park sites.
Funding vrould have to come from the City Contingency account witA City Council
approval needed at the December 10 meeting. Projected casts would be:

Dear Parks and Recreation Commissioners:
Enclosed is a variety of materials for you to review prior to
our January meeting. The items that are enclosed include:
1. Resolution M1056 and maintenance memo. This is a memo
regarding rink maintenance for the upcoming winter season.
The Council approved the resolution in concept but did
not take any formal action. It is staff's intent to spend
a good portion of the January meeting to review the status
of our Park maintenance division.
Silver View Park Information (Memo Lo Hahn Imm, Memo to
Council from Building and Zoning Official, City Zoning Map,
Conceptual Land Use Map for Kraus/Anderson). This infor-
mation was disseminated to the Council at the December 17,
1979 meeti:_p,. Mr. Rose and myself gave a presentation to
the Council :egarding Silver View and they authorized pre-
liminary approval of the Conceptual Land Use Map as presented.
Staff has not met with Kraus/Anderson since the Commission
last met, but it appears that a meeting will be established
in the next two weeks. Our next step will be�: to hire a
planning firm for the final site plans prior to construction
in April �r May. Staff has also been meeting. at length with
State Planning regarding the acquisition grant revision and it
has been very smooth to date with final approval of the new
location :'Cheduled in about six weeks.
3. Saunders and Thalden - The City Council formally approved the
Planning contract as amended by the Commission on December 16,
1979 and I have enclosed a copy of the final agreement. In
addition the first draft of the survey is enclosed for your
review. As,we would like to begin the survey process in the
next two weeks, I would appreciate your comments and reactions
by Wednesday, January 2, if possible.._
If you have any questions regarding the elclosed information, feel
free to give me a call at 784-3055 eztPnsion 4a. Nave a warm and
safe Holiday Season.
Sincerely,
Bruce K. Anderson, Director, Parks, Recreation $ Forestry

lSinter rink maintenance
The process of re u�enchment within Yhis Parks M1taiirtenunce Ui.vision is
currently being explored in depth as we begin the 1980 Fiscal year. As
I have outlined in previous memos thc park mainten�nce division has
experienced � lowcr priority wiUiin the budgctary proccss for the past
:our years and 1980 will be a year to closqly examinc our existing level
of services to determine whcre we should begin to reduce services.
To better illustrate our plight allow me to present a breakdown of this
division during the past five ycars:
Actual 1976 - $82,408.00
Actual 1977 - $G3,435.00
Actual 1978 - $66,646.OU
Actual 1979 - $59,356.00
Actual 1980 - $55,561.00
On a percentage basis the parks maintenance account has been reduced by
48.3$ from 1976 to the 1980 budget. 7'his figure does not include inflation
which has increased at approximately 10�/year from 1976 - 19A0 which would
make for a composite reduction of 98.3% in the parks account. To further
compound the limited park budget it should be noted that approximately �.
$10,000 (give or take a$1,000) should be subtracted from the totals for .
Lakeside Park alone. 1Vhen you sub u•act out thc salaries and benefits for
two full-time parks laborers you are left with a buci�et for suPplies,
part-timc hclp, eyuipment maintcuancc, building grounds, fertilizer, etc.
of under $10,000 for 12 city park site. totalling over 125 acres or less
than $900.00/site.
Dly reason for p,esenting thesc Cigures to you again is not to request the ';
1980 budget process be reworked but rather to give each of you background
information as to why and when service levels will be reduced in 1980.
The first area currently being reviewed is the winter ice skating program.
As can be noted in the attached resolution we are attempting to prioritize
our rink flooding policy to better understand where and how we can best
serve the residents with t;�e least number of people affected. We feel
reasonably confident tl�at with the modified rink flooding policy we will
be able to keep a reasonable maintenance level at 5 rink sites and
"skateable" ice at 2 suxiliary facilities. 7'he biggest problem area we
have been dealing with in regards to winter flooding is that we no longar
maintain our rinks during weekends which are the heaviest periods of us�age.
Consequently we are continually starting our cycle of ice build up over�
each Monday morning. To alleviate this problem I have�met with the Public
Works Uirector and we both concur that rcinstating the weekend brooming of
our rink facilities wou:.! greatly cnl�ance our ice skating program. The
cost to provide this ser :ce would be 51,200 based on 4 hours overtime for
brooming on 12 consecutive weekends �$12.00/hour Q�ased on a projected 1980
raise settlement o[ SS.00 x 1-1/2 for ovcrtime). __�q
�c�emo to Council -2- December 17, 1979
As we do not havc thc $1,200.00 budgeted tlnrough the gencral fund it .
would have to be allocated from cither cuntingency or the 1979 year end
balance. Staff feels that through the allocatio❑ oF the requested weekend
maintenance and resolution outlining reduced rink maintenance we will be
able to provide an acceptable level of rink maintenance during the 1980 �
skating scason.
As tlie problem of potential "retrenchment" will be addressed during each
of the upcoming yuarters, staff will be providing an outline or plan oF
action as to how each season's unique problems can best be addressed. �.

RE: Proposed Development of Property Locatefl Approximately
Within the Boundaries of Silvez I.ake aoad, Co. Rd. I,
Highway 10, Long Lake Road �ind County Road H,
Coordinated With the Acquisition and Development of
Silver View Park
On July 9, 1979, the Council passed Resolution A996, authorizing
Staff to negotiate acquisition of park acreage for Silver View
Park. Staff has made progress with regard to the directive of
Resolution No. 996, as well as general progress with the total
development of the primarily vacant parcel described above
(M S E Realty/Kraus-Anderson Property). The owner/developer
at this time would like to coordinate his development with
that of the acquisition and development of the park, with the
hopeful result being a better product for both the City and the
owner/developer.
The subject parcel is located in District 1 of our current
Comprehensive Plan. District 1 is less than half developed
and, since it is the central district core of the City, it
offers itself to be a community focal point. The Land Use
Map depicts the area mixed F.O.D. (conunercial, low-high density
residential and public). The present zonin9 map denotes the
area a combination of limited industrial, high density reai-
dential, single family and two family.
The overall development of this tract of land has minimally
three major areas of concern. The first being the zoning and
land use conflict. The second is that of good access and
traffic distribution. Last of all, the impact of storm water
run-off and control that comes with development. There are
probably other concerns, but these at least form a basis for
review.
2oning and Land Use
Attached are copies of the existing zoning map as well as the
Land Use la.p. The two conflict with each other for the most
part. Sir.ce the Land Uae Map was adopted aftnr the 2oning
Map, it would seem obvious that the I�and Use Map more clearly
indicatea the direction tho City would like to see tha land
developed as. The only problem with the Land Use Map is that iY
is not quantitative, nor was it meant to be. Depending on the
needs of the community, a P.U,D. proposal might ct�ange from
time to time, adjusting itaelf to thos� needs. The owner/developer's
representative is receptive to the P.U.n. cancept witA the usagea
as outlined in the Comprehensive Plan. Therefore, it now becomes
i!
�-;::}�;�i,�..
; k i:
1:
-z-
a decision process to evaluate the quantity needs of each use
as it is to be developc�.
It should be further noted that a P.U.D. application allows
the City and the applicant to determine densities other than
the district requirement within certain parameters. An example
would be reduced setbacks, area or greater density. These
"bonuses", if they can be called that, can occur in a compre-
hensive development while still maintaining the minimal health,
safety, welfare requirements the Code protects.
Street System and Traffic
Due to the size of this undeveloped tract and its bordering
streets, an overall street plan is necessary. The plan should
minimize the impacts by reducing the number of curb cuts to
the major and minor arterials and collector streets, and pro-
viding an interior looping system. Private curb cuts for
individual users are undesirable. Spacing of curb cuts/inter-
eectiona should be spaced properly from existing curb cuts/in-
tersections, meeting current atandard reguirements. If
cul-de-sacs are used, their lenyth should not exceed 300 feet.
Storm Water Draina9c
A significant portion of thi.s property torms a natural drainage
wetland. The City also presently has rights to a drainage
corridor through the property. The report £rom B.S.E.H. of
1976 denoted this tract of land to accommodate a basin holding
93 acre feet of which approximately 36.7 acres were necessary
to house the storage. This basin size requirement included
diversion of existin9 drainage facilities (natural or man made)
Yo thia basfn. The report also required the new installation of
an outlet for the basin lower than the existing one �n an effort
tc lo�er Lhe water table. To date, the owner/developer has �
studied hia property pertinent to drainage and has an engineerinq
study which providea for the vse of the existing outlet and an
improved natural basin accommodating development of his property �
and apparently meeting the requirementa of Resolution �983. To
date, S.E,H. has not officially revicwed their proposal for
the:r recomme_�dation to the City. It should be noted for
clarificatior chat the owner/developer's drainage.report is
intended to be concluaive of his property as it is now affected
and devaloped in the future and not respective of the remainder
of the drafnage district ae outlined in B.S.�.fl,
-3-
Conclusion
The owner/developer is in agreement with the City's Land Use
designation of his property. Further, that the ring access
idea with minimal curb cuts is also agreeablr_, The owner/
developer has also studied the drainage impact and is confident
that he can meet the City's Resolution %983 requirements.
Last and most important, the owner/developer would like to
coordinate his mixed P.U.D. development with the City's park
development.
Finall
Also attached is a concept sketch of which Staff has been
diacussing with the owner/developer. The vacant land,
including the park property the City now owns, is approzimately
100 acres.
The 12 acre parcel and the 9.9 acre parcel are denoted commer-
cial and some high density residential (posaible hi9h rise
for senior citizens) along Highway 10 and Co. Rd. I.
The 14.7 acre parcel below the proposed loop road and above
the lake is denoted medium to low density residential.
The southweet corner of 17.2 acres ia denoted Low density (old
park eite).
5.3 acree are vaed for minimal road service.
The zemainder of the tract of land ie denoted 30.6 acres
park and 20.6 acrea lake and walkway corridor.
This aite plan attempts to adhere to the one directive nf the
Council via Resolution t996 (Park Land Acquisition`, and the
directive of the current Comprehensive Pl.an.
Two other ideas have been expreeeed by the owner/developer's
agent with regard to the developing of the parce3.. They vrould
like the City to conaider zero-lot-line development in some areae
and would r�etition the City to make the public improvementa
and assea� the eoats back to the benefit.inq properties. Both
of theee requeats are not uncommon and have been approvad by
this City and other citiea.
