Suggest Commission reiews draft and submit suggested changes to Kroeger. Suggest DeBar, Kroeger, and Peterson tour proposed trail ways and bring final suggestions to the Commission. Commission would then propose recommendations to coordinate with completed and upcoming street projects. 8. NEW BUSINESS A. Review Proposed Changes to Chapter 605 – Tree Disease (and Pest) Control: Recommendations by Rick Wriskey to add the term “pests” and address possible issues with Emerald Ash Borer as a nuisance (605.03 Subd. 1e) and plans for abatement of trees (603.04 Subd. 1), and treatment (605.06) of trees. Other minor wording changes. Need to address 605.04 Subd. 3a with regard to cost to homeowner for removal. Perhaps change wording to show that a homeowner would pay “up to 50%.” Discuss at meeting with City Council. Need to change 605.07: Permit Requirements for Transporting Wood. Are there procedures for the EAB after cutting the tree down, similar to the procedures for oak wilt whereby a homeowner had to cover or debark the tree for a time period? Do we need to include the procedure in the code? Or create a notice for homeowners once the tree is removed? Direct staff to ask Rick Wriskey for clarification. The City has received a federal grant to help with the cost of removal, replacement, and consulting costs to address EAB within one-mile of a current infestation, which is near County Road I on the east side of the City. B. Review Presentation for Joint Meeting with City Council (April 2, 2012): What we’ve done in the past year, what we plan to do, questions we have for the Council (i.e. City Forester position).

Event Center is booked Saturdays April through September 2012. Music-in-the-Park bookings include Northwest Suburban Concert Band, Teddy Bear Band, and potentially the Percolators. B. Discuss Coach of the Year Award: two nominations received. Will be asking for more to review next month. 8. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. Discuss Trailway and Sidewalk System: We need to define walking/biking/trailway terminology. If there is a sidewalk, but not enough space for a bike lane on the roadway, how do we define that? Need to determine signage. Currently do not have any rules about pedestrian and bike directions (walking on right, biking on left side of roadway). Kroeger will reconcile 1992 plan with current proposal for next meeting. B. Discuss Ice Hockey and Skating Rink Improvements at Hillview Park: Need to look at potential elevation correction. May move it a bit south, which would involve moving the existing light poles. Considering aglime base similar to Lambert Park rink, which is usable in summer. Once we determine exactly what to do, the project should take about a month. Much work can be in-house, but some contractor work will be required. Need to make sure any melting from the rink will be absorbed by existing drainage. Want September construction. We need to discuss specifics and make recommendations by June meeting. Discuss costs at March meeting, and draft layout at April meeting. 9. NEW BUSINESS A. Review Municipal Code Chapters 405 and 1204: Reviewed code 405: There is an opening for a Commissioner. Public encouraged to send applications to City Hall. Question 405.07 Subd 12: “Advise the City Council regarding sanitation and reforestation programs within the City.” What does “sanitation” mean? Would this be sanitation at parks? There is nothing in the ordinance about forestry, however forestry was assigned to the Commission to comply with Tree City USA qualifications. Should a section be added about forestry? Such as overseeing the forestry document, and an annual meeting with a forestry expert accepted by the City. Need to clean up terms. 405.01 states, “The Parks and Recreation and Forestry Commission is referred to herein as “the Commission.” However 405.02 Subd 1 and 405.05 Subd. 2 state “Parks and Recreation Commission.” Discuss sanitation and forestry questions with City Council at annual meeting in April. Question 1204.02 Subd1b: Question footnote 7: “See Section 203.06 of this code”, should be 203.05 “Park and Playground Fund” Code Chapter 1204: 1204.02 Subd 1b: Need to verify and perhaps change term “Park and Playground Fund” to “Park Dedication Fund.” Add clarification to beginning “Park and Recreation and Forestry Commission referred to herein as “the Commission.” Then change 1204.02 Subd 2 “Parks and Recreation Commission” to either “the Commission” or “ Parks and Recreation and Forestry Commission.” 1204.02 Subd 2: The Commission has not been approached for land dedication, but cash payment has been the status quo. Do we need to clarify this with the City Council? For example the townhouse development on Long Lake Road and County Road H2, was parkland dedicated, or a cash payment made to the Park Dedication Fund? Direct Staff to answer this question at March meeting. B. Review Park Improvement Plan (PIP) $35,000 carryover for Lambert Park building construction: is this in addition to $260,000 from 2011, or in addition to? What is the $25,000 for Park Improvement Program for? Maintenance? Improvements? Repairs? Is it for things like replacement of tee pads, volleyball court perimeters, jox boxes, lighting upgrades, parking lot lighting, etc? Considering aglime and reverse curbing for tees at disc golf course at Silverview Park If there are not grant funds for County Road 10 trail way, suggest using money budgeted for trail way development to fund other trail way projects within the city as determined by our recommendations. 10. REPORTS A. Reports of Commission Members: Kroeger-Lambert Park Building is looking great on the inside as well as the outside! Aukee-Tobacco Free Park signs at Greenfield ball field needs replacing. Palm-Discussion of possibly hosting a Mothers’ Day walk for Breast Cancer, similar to the walk at Mall of America, at Silverview Park. Talk to MVCC about possible hosting. B. Reports of City Staff: Nothing to report 11. REQUEST FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS / OTHER BUSINESS A. Next Regular Commission Meeting: March 22, 2012 1. Discuss Long-Term City Forestry Options 2.

Develop and promote guidelines governing the appropriate use of the trail system c. Establish a signage standard for trail use that minimizes potential conflicts among users d. Conform to existing Minnesota Department of Transportation engineering standards e. Minimize bicycles/pedestrian/motorist encounters by providing off-street trailways whenever economically possible f. Promote safe bicycling through publications, programs and events while assisting with the promotion of bicycle safety education through the City newsletter publications within the City 2. Provide and maintain a system to achieve a high recreation potential. a. Provide a link between Ramsey County and Anoka County, and neighboring cities’ trailway systems b. Develop a system that can be used as a recreational link between the existing city parks, and to promote a means of making the park property as well as recreational activities assessable to all residents of in the city c. Provide a recreation opportunity for the family and individual which use of trailways can provide d. Develop a system that would be suitable to short distance recreational use as well as long distance trail use e. Utilize man-made or natural linear resources in order to take advantage of the scenic qualities in the City 3. Provide and maintain a system that can be used as an alternate transportation mode. a. Promote a system to provide access to high population concentration areas (ie: shopping centers, schools, parks, library, businesses, etc.) b. Promote a system that would provide an efficient means of destination orientation traffic c. Connect the bikeway/walkway systems with existing and future mass transportation systems d. Encourage the development of secure bicycle parking opportunities at existing commercial and industrial developments Trailway System Plan - DRAFT 2 e. Advocate safe trailways through communication of requests and needs to roadway owners including Ramsey County and the Minnesota Department of Transportation 4. Publicize trail use opportunities in the community. a. Provide for citizen involvement through the entire planning process b. Support and encourage the community in the development of a trailways system c. Recommend the adoption of a Resolution by the City Council supporting the concept of a trailways system d. Encourage application for grants and funding aid for trailway projects Trailways Connection to County Linkages Anoka County Connections The Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Corridor begins in Anoka County at Centerville. The Trail Corridor plans show a trailway continuing through Circle Pines, Shoreview, Arden Hills and Mounds View and continuing along Rice Creek through New Brighton, Fridley and finally connecting to the Mississippi River Trail. The Rice Creek Trail will be a long distance of beautiful scenic areas. The trail is a joint effort between Anoka and Ramsey Counties. The portion which is in Mounds View lies along Rice Creek. A portion of Rice Creek that follows through the Twin City Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) is currently a hindrance of the project. This portion of Rice Creek which is located on TCAAP property is currently being advocated by federal legislators who are negotiating with the United States Army. The Mounds View portion of the Rice Creek Trail Corridor would link the passage through the TCAAP property to New Brighton leading to Long Lake Regional Park. When the Rice Creek Trail Corridor finally becomes a reality, it is the proposal of the Trailways Advocacy Group that the connecting link to Mounds View trailways routes would be Edgewood Drive, across County Road H. This connector would provide a safe route connecting to Mounds View trailways. Trailway System Plan - DRAFT 3 Mounds View is located in the middle of the long Rice Creek Trail Corridor, having the route to Centerville Chain of Lakes in one direction and the Mississippi River Trail connection in the other direction. For this reason, Mounds View will benefit from the completion of these exciting trailways. Ramsey County Connections Ramsey County trail connections include a route to downtown St. Paul. The City of Shoreview has developed and continues to expand upon their trailways system. The City of Mounds View currently has a link to their system on County Road I. This trail connects to Highway 49 (Hodgson Rd which then becomes Rice St. at Hwy 96). Ramsey County proposes that both Lexington Avenue and Rice Street become routes to downtown St. Paul. The roadways in Shoreview already provide either a bikelane or off street trail on both streets. Once in St. Paul, many options are available for routes to Ramsey County trailways and parks, including plans for the Burlington Northern Trailway Corridor. Trailway Connection to Minneapolis Mounds View also has the opportunity to connect onto trailways leading to downtown Minneapolis. The connection to Silver Lake Road offers an off street sidewalk all the way to County Road D, entering the City of St. Anthony and connecting to Highway 88. At this point, many routes to downtown Minneapolis can be pursued along residential routes. The Mounds View connection to this lengthy Silver Lake Road route to Minneapolis is using the Long Lake/County Road H connector or the Groveland/Knollwood/Pleasant View Dr. route (or the many connectors in between). Trailway Connections to Neighboring City Linkages Shoreview Connections The City of Mounds View currently has an established connection to Shoreview with the trail along County Road I. Another connection which could become a reality in the future is along County Road J. The City of Blaine has a right-of-way along the Trailway System Plan - DRAFT 4 north side of County Road J. A right-of-way is thought to exist along the south side of County Road J east of Coral Sea Road. An off-street trail is located east of the 35W bridge leading into Shoreview, connecting to Lexington off-street trailway. MN DoT is planning on having an eight foot wide sidewalk along one side of the Hwy 610 overpass. There is an opportunity for County Road J to be a connector road if trailways were advocated by the participating cities of Mounds View, Blaine and Shoreview. The Rice Creek Corridor will also provide a linkage between Shoreview and Mounds View. New Brighton Connections Trailway connections to the City of New Brighton are offered on an off-street path along Long Lake Road (the Mounds View portion to be completed the summer of 1992). Also, the connections to Silver Lake Road provide a direct arterial route to New Brighton trailways. This proposal accesses Mounds View routes to both Long Lake Road and Silver Lake Road trailways continuing into New Brighton and beyond. Future Old Highway 8 connection will provide opportunities to plan a trailway along Old Highway 8 for a connection to Long Lake Regional Park. The intersection of Old Highway 8, County Road H and Highway 10 will be realigned during the development of the Rice Creek Trailhead project coordinated by Ramsey County. This realignment will provide an opportunity to connect trailways which are recommended in this proposal. Fridley Connections The City of Mounds View connects to the Fridley trailway system along County Road H, County Road H2 and County Road I. All three connectors provide access onto the Fridley trailway system. Spring Lake Park/Blaine Connections Common city boundary trailways have not been indicated by the Cities of Spring Lake Park or Blaine. The future may offer opportunities to establish trailway linkages with a Mounds View and Spring Lake Park and Blaine. Trailway System Plan - DRAFT 5 Trailway System Arterial Roads The roads listed below play an integral role in the Mounds View Trailway System, serving as arteries for connecting streets and linking to other trailway systems. • County Road J • County Road I • County Road H2 • County Road H • Groveland Road (Continuing with Knollwood Rd. south of Hwy 10) • Long Lake Road The remaining roads serve as connectors, providing access to the arterial roads which lead to linking trailway systems. • Arden Avenue • Hillview Road • Bronson Drive • Edgewood Drive • Wooddale Drive • Quincy Street • Mounds View Drive • Woodcrest Drive • Pleasant View Drive In efforts to make this proposal as inexpensive, manageable and realistic as possible, this proposal does not provide for a trailway on every city street. This trailway proposal does provide a systematic route of accessibility to all areas of the City, making special provisions to provide access to schools, parks, business areas and City Hall. This Trailways Proposal also makes special efforts to link Mounds View routes with neighboring trailway systems. These are priorities of the Mounds View Trailways Proposal as recommended by the Trailways Advocacy Group. Trailway System Plan - DRAFT 6 The following Detail Plan defines the existing and proposed formal trailways through the City of Mounds View and the respective status. The focus of the formal trailways is to connect with landmarks and regional trailways, and in some instances, isolated neighborhoods with other trailways. Landmarks are defined as Mounds View parks, civic and local educational facilities. Bus routes are not a direct consideration. Trailways encompass Bikeways and Walkways. The following defines expectations for formal Bikeway and Walkway configurations: • Bikeway – Paved, no or limited conflict with street parking, integrated crosswalks, clear path with visibility consistent with speed, continuous and maintained. On or Off street, 5-10’ wide. Identified on a map and/or marked with signage. • Walkway – Paved, integrated crosswalks, clear path with visibility consistent with speed, continuous, maintained, with potential shared usage with pedestrians.
