ROLL CALL: All members were present. Also present, Director Saarion and Mr. & Mrs. Charles Schultz. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Commissioner Stevenson made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Dentz to approve the minutes of February 26, 1998. Motion passed unanimously. COACHES CLINICS - POLICY: SILVER ESTATES PARK DED. FEE: SPRING LK PK KNOLL PARK Staff asked Commissioners whether or not they would like staff to control Coaches Clinics so that cost and revenues to coaches, along with recruitment practices are monitored so that children/youth athletes are not being taken advantage of. Commissioners, upon review of recent inappropriate clinic planning, requested staff to evaluate and administer coaches clinics so that they were designed to be advantageous and beneficial to youth, and not a revenue source for coaches. Commissioner Long made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Benz to request staff to formulate guidelines for programs that are instructed by school district coaches Motion ivas passed unanimously. This item was simply to inform the Commission that the Silver Estates project will provide a revenue of $68,400 in Park Dedication Fees. Commissioners and staff will need to prioritize park capital improvements for the 1999 budget. DED. FEES: Mr. & Mrs. Schultz attended the meeting requesting the Parks and Recreation Commission to recommend a reduced park dedication fee for their lot sub -division. Commissioner Stevenson informed the Parks and Recreation Commissioners that the Planning Commission had asked the .� Parks & Recreation Commission to review this first case using the new Ordinance (whose revision was suggested by the Planning Department and City Attorney) which increased Park Dedication Fees for residential subdivisions to be more consistent commercial and in comparison to other cities. Because this is the first case, Commissioners felt that it was inappropriate to recommend negotiation of the Park Dedication fee as outlined in the newly revised ordinance. Commissioner Starr made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Dentz that the Commission recommend that the City Council hold firm to the newly revised Park Dedication Ordinance and administer it as written. Motion passed unanimously. THEATER PROJECT REVIEW: As requested by the Department of Community Development, the Parks & Recreation Commissioners were asked to review and provide comment regarding the Theater project plans. The plan was reviewed and current updates regarding the signal light on Hwy 10 were discussed. Commissioners were concerned that the project was in jeopardy because of the threat that MNDOT will repeal former approval of the signal light on Hwy 10 which is important to the development of the Theater project. Commissioners recommended that City Council members approve the funding of the signal light if need be with the expectation that the City would be able to recoup revenues in property taxes and potential development along Highway 10 to cover the cost of the signal light. In addition, Commissioners discussed possible second entry/exit and unanimously agreed that the best spot for another entry/exit is along County Road H2 next to Donatelles. SCHOOL COOK. FEES: Director Saarion informed the Parks and Recreation Commission that school fees for wages of School Coordinators exceeded the budget by over $1,000. The increase was due to the increased use by Irondale Basketball Association. Director Saarion requested direction from the Commission regarding use by IBA and whether or not to require IBA to cover the cost of monies that exceed the budget. Director Saarion informed the Commission that IBA uses over 2/3's of the budget for School use fees. Commissioners replied that the IBA is serving many youth of the community with a beneficial program. BEVERAGE PROPOSAL FOR COMM CNTR: Director Saarion reviewed the information prepared by Finance Director Kessel regarding proposals for supplying beverage services for both the Golf Course and the Community Center. Commissioner Benz made a motion seconded by Commissioner Starr to recommend the City Council award the beverage contract to Coke. Motion passed S ayes and 2 nays The two nays explained that they personally preferred drinking Pepsi rather than Coke. ATHLETIC UPDATE: Director Saarion informed the Commission that there were many fewer adult softball teams returning from prior years to play in leagues this year. The reason for this decrease is unknown. Seasonal staff person Jenny Olson has spent time evaluating the program and receiving feedback from team managers. Some have indicated that they prefer a double header schedule of games, others prefer more exciting league play to include tournaments and playoffs. Jenny will be devoting much of her time this summer evaluating the programs and providing recommendation for next year's program. Director Saarion also informed the Commission that she had received more than usual numbers of adult soccer field use requests. It seems that adult soccer leagues are increasing and that adult teams must find their own home game fields. Because soccer fields are in high demand, there is not enough larger adult fields to meet the current demand. This is an issue that is being discussed in the athletic facility coalition with the school district and neighboring communities. YOUTH COMM. CONCEPT: Director Saarion informed the Commission of a Youth Commission that Mayor McCarty wishes to initiate in the coming year. Columbia Heights has a model program which can be reviewed for possible implementation. The program would give youth the opportunity to organize and initiate action, activities, and programs that address youth issues and concerns. This program is a hands-on learning experience for youth to develop community activism and make positive changes. Commissioners asked for more information. Director Saarion replied that she would provide more information materials and schedule a presentation by the Columbia Heights participants of this model program. PARK OPEN SPACE: Director Saarion requested Commissioners regarding future use of the open space park dedicated land between the golf course and Sysco. The Commission had earlier decided to delay planning until Coral Sea St. became completely developed so that plans could take into consideration the drainage needs of development. It was affirmed that Commissioners expect this open space to be preserved as open space park land, to provide opportunity for community residents a place to walk trails, sit and enjoy nature. ALCOHOL IN PARKS: Director Saarion informed the Commission of the request by the Mounds View Festival, Incorporated to hold a beer gardens at the Festival this summer. Director Saarion informed the Commissioners that currently the Park Ordinance prohibits all alcohol in all city parks. For this reason an ordinance change is required to allow a beer garden at City Hall Park during Festival. Commissioner Stevenson made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Long recommending that ordinance revision be written to allow alcohol in City Hall Park only for Festival in the Park event Motion passed unanimously. ADJOURNMENT: Commissioner MacDonald made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Dentz to adjourn the meeting. Motion passed unanimously. interoffice M E M O R A N D U M to: Mayor McCarty from: Mary Saarion subject: Athletic Facilities in Mounds View date: May 6, 1998 Attached is an inventory of softball/baseball and soccer fields within the City of Mounds View and who the scheduled user groups are (besides general resident use). The City of Mounds View has been fortunate to have had very conscientious park planners including Parks and Recreation Directors, City Councils and Parks and Recreation Commissioners who have put careful planning into diverse park athletic facilities. We are fortunate to have sufficient amounts of athletic fields for our immediate community - with time and space available for other neighboring communities and user groups. There is an abundance of small softball/baseball fields for ages 10 years and under for baseball and 15 and under for softball in Mounds View. These smaller fields are abundant because most of our neighborhood parks are small in size and only accommodate small fields. On the other extreme, Mounds View has located in it's borders two of the larger baseball fields for 14 -18 year olds complete with mounds, long fences and 90' basepaths. These two are located at Greenfield Park and Edgewood Middle School. It is these larger fields that are in high demand. Unfortunately, both fields are close to residential homes which poses a problem of trespassing foul balls and property damage that results. The dilemma is that the larger baseball fields are in high demand but the location of these two fields are in conflict to adjacent residential properties. Because Irondale High School is so close in proximity to Edgewood Middle School, Silver View Park, Greenfield Park and City Hall Park, all have become regular Iocations for Irondale High School teams as home fields and practice fields. In addition, these same athletic facilities have been meeting the needs of youth athletic associations and in-house recreation programs and activities. The facility that the City of Mounds View is really lacking is gym space. Even with the addition of the Community Center gym, there will still be a demand for uses by adult and youth groups including Irondale Basketball Association (both girl and boy programs), Irondale Volleyball Association, adult basketball and volleyball programs and other uses such as line -dancing, gymnastics, floor hockey, karate, open gyms, fitness activities, etc. I believe that Edgewood Middle School could offer many more opportunities for student participation in intramural sports after school if additional gym spaces were available. You see current! IH.S comes over and uses Ed est►oorl Middle ,Ychool nrs or van. i sorts leaving nos ace or middle school intramural o recreation activity after school. While the Community Center gym will be able to provide programs and activities, it will in no way be able to handle the demand for gym space Mayor McCarty Page 2 May 6, 1998 alone. Soccer - My opinion on soccer is that it will be the growing sport of choice for the simple fact that it is an hour limit game and families can count on getting to the field and back home in a reasonable amount of time. Baseball is often a 2-3 hour commitment which is just taking too much time for families in today's busy schedules. And, soccer and hockey are games that are action packed and exciting because participants are always on the move whereas basebalUsoftball take a lot of patience and self-discipline standing in the field waiting for a ball or sitting on the bench waiting for your turn to bat. I know that St. Anthony I-Egh School soccer team practices and plays games at the MASC fields in Blaine. While it is a transportation headache for the parents to get their children back and forth to the Blaine MASC fields, it is an option to consider, which may be feasible. Please feel free to call me at 717-4041 if you have any questions, suggestions or ideas. Hope this information is what you were looking for.

Schedule cjWMVeports\999W50 Commission No. 9999 Ma'or Findings and Recommendations Population growth will not be a significant factor within the District. Therefore, city and School District actions should be the focused on meeting existing facility deficiencies. While most athletic facilities within the District area are adequate to meet existing and future demand, the following additions and improvements are needed to correct existing shortfalls: • Additional Gym Space is Needed The most serious shortfall is a lack of sufficient gym space for adult and youth sports. A minimum of two indoor community recreation facilities are needed with a at least six full size gym courts. • A Sport Tournament Facility is Needed The study area has no park capable of hosting a local, regional or state sports tournament. A sports complex park is needed with a capacity of eight to twelve fields for soccer, softball and youth baseball. • Seven Additional Soccer Fields are Needed Youth soccer is the fastest growing participation sport in the country and in the study area. More soccer fields are needed to allow full participation, to minimize conflicts arising from shared use fields and to prevent over -use of existing fields. At least seven additional youth soccer fields should be constructed within the District area. • Additional Youth Baseball and Fast Pitch Softball Fields are Needed. The study area has a shortage of medium size baseball and softball fields (200'-250' outfield dimensions). These fields would serve the needs of youth baseball players ages 10-16 and fast pitch softball players. Three to five additional fields are needed. 3 Independent School District #621 and the Cities of Arden Hills, Mounds View, Wold Architects and Engineers/ New Brighton, Shoreview and North Oaks Anderson Johnson Associates Athletic Facility Analysis May 5, 1998 ATHLETIC FIELD OPPORTUNITIES LOCATION (School/Park) GAINS _ LOSSES PROJECT COST Chippewa Middle School (North Oaks) Preferred Option *1 Medium Baseball $270,000.00 *1 Soccer Field Mounds View High School (Arden Hills) Preferred Option *1 FP Softball 1 Practice Softball $1,200,000.00 *1 Soccer/Football '/2 Practice Soccer/ Football Highview Middle School (New Brighton) Preferred Option *1 Soccer 1 Walking Track/ Football $175,000.00 *1 Medium Baseball 1 Softball Hansen Park (New Brighton) Studied Option *1 Soccer $300,000.00 Ingerson Park (Arden Hills) No Illustration *1 Youth Soccer 40,000.00 Bel Air Elementary (New Brighton) Preferred Option 1 Softball 50,000.00 Athletic Fields - North Oaks (North Oaks) No Illustration 2 Little League Fields 1 Little League Field Not available (future) *1 Soccer Field (future) University Property (WISPARK) (Shoreview) No Illustration *2 Soccer Fields Not available 1 Ballfield Page 1 Commission No. 9999 Independent School District #621 and the Cities of Arden Hills, Mounds View, Wold Architects and Engineers/ New Brighton, Shoreview and North Oaks Anderson Johnson Associates Athletic Facility Analysis May 5, 1998 GYMNASIUM OPPORTUNITIES LOCATION (School/Park) GAINS LOSSES PROJECT COST Highview Middle School *Two station gym Relocate tennis $2,190,000.00 (New Brighton) (12,600 SF) courts Bel Air Elementary *Two station gym Reconfigured play $2,190,000.00 (New Brighton) (12,600 SF) area Pike Lake Elementary (New Brighton) *Two station gym $2,190,000.00 (12,600 SF) Snail Lake Elementary *Two station gym Parking area $2,190,000.00 (Shoreview) (12,600 SF) Island Lake Elementary *Two station gym $2,190,000.00 (Shoreview) (12,600 SF) Sunnyside Elementary *Two station gym $2,190,000.00 (New Brighton) (12,600 SF) POOL OPPORTUNITIES Aquatic Center Competition pool $9,145,000.00 (Site to be determined) and diving well g19999keportM9999mdvw As Page 2 Commission No. 9999 AQUATIC CENTER DESIGN CONCEPT 55 - STAIR DIVING WELL 43. x rs, MEN'S TEAM LOCKER so* x so, (POOL MECH.

ATTEST: APPROVED AS TO FORM- City ORM City Attorney Mayor interoffice M E M O R A N D U M to: Parks and Recreation Commissioners from: Mary Saarion subject: Woodcrest Park Improvements date: May 19, 1998 Woodcrest Park has always been a problem park to develop because of its high water table and unstable soils. We have prepared park improvement plans and submitted grant proposals for funding high cost soil corrections and storm water management improvements. However, grants for this park project have not been awarded. The park was re -designed years ago when neighboring property owners complained about the noise and activity of the skating/hockey rink. The rink was removed, and the building and playground area was moved to the opposite corner of the park. The grassy area has been tried as a soccer field and grassy play field for the summer playground program, however because of the high water table, the area is frequently wet and because of the unstable soils, the field does not remain flat and therefore is insufficient for athletic use. The present location of the playground is often times under water after rainfall. The building is rotting from wetness. A drainage system has been installed with drainage tile to alleviate the pooling of water, but water pools continue to exist. Woodcrest Park is a problem. It has open storm water ditches, wetland wetness and unstable soils to contend with. Both east and west ends of the park have been tried for structures, neither one being successful. I have been asked by a few users of the park and residents of the neighborhood area, to look into the possibilities of improving the park. Suggestions have been made to move the location of the building and the playground to the east side. I promised Mr. Rothstein that I would bring up his suggestions at the next Parks and Recreation Commission meeting for discussion.

We understand you would like to regrade the athletic field such, that it can be used for either baseball or soccer purposes. The purpose of this geatechmW exploration and review is to determine the reasons for the past ground movements, and evaluate futare performance and options. A second park improvement being considered is the reconswucdOn or surfacing of the parking lot located to the southwest of the warming house. We assume the parldng lot will maintain the same general surface elevation, location and size as the existing lot. We understand the lot is primarily intended for automobile panting, and not intended to accommodate heavier truck traffic. The presented project information represents our undermading of the proposed consmicdon. This information is au integral pant & ouz =gi=cring review_ It is imNrrant that you conma us if there are a=ges from that desenbei so tbat we can evaluate whel—modificanons to our rwxmmc2d=on3 ars: appropriate. SITE CONDMONS Surface Qb§grLLtjow The current athletic field area is generally level, although includes a rather large stockpile in the central area. The existing parking lot is gravel surfaced, and has noticeable rutting from vehicle traffic. APR 7 '95 10:29 FROM AM ENG TST ST PAUL TO 97843462 PAGE. 003 AET #95-1343 - Page 3 soils Logs of the test borings are attached. The logs contain infbrmation concerning soil layering, soil classification, geologic description and moisture. Relative density or consistency is also noted, which is based on the standard penettation resistance (N -value). The boring logs only indicate the subsurface conditions at the sampled locations and variations often occur between and beyond borings. The gemralized geologic profile at the sites consists of about 21fi' to 8' of fill overlying peat swamp deposits, in turn underlain by water -deposited (alluvial) sandy soils. • The fill soils are mostly fine grained silty sands, which are sometimes inteani wd with peat and organic clay. Some sandy lean clays and lean clays are also present. Generally, the fill soils appear to be moderately compact, based on N - values, although fill stability appears to be rclarively low due to the inclusions of organic and wet clayey soils. • The swamp deposits are mostly hemic peat, with zones of organic clay and fibric peat. Borings #4 and #5 did not extend deep enough to penetrate the peat, and in fact, Boring #4 did not reach the natural swamp deposit. In the field area, the peat e=nds to depths ranging from 71fz' (at Boring #2) to at least 21' (Boring r) terminated in peat at 21'). • The coarse alluvium is classified as silty sand or sand with silt, which is mostly fine gr2ined. APR 7 '95 10:26 FROM AM ENG TST ST PAUL TO 97643462 Water Level M PAGE. 004 AET #95-1343 - Page 4 The boreholes were probed for the presence of ground water, and water level measurements were taken. The mea,miemen s are recorded on the boring logs. A disc ssion of the water level measurement methods is presented in the SUBSURFACE 02LORAUON section of this report. Ground water levels were measured within Borings #1-3 at depths ranging from IIh' to 41/--' beneath the surface. The shallower water level depths were measued in those borings where time was provided for water level stabilization within the borehole, and may provide a more accurate portrayal of the ground water level depth. This generally corresponds to elevation 98.5' based on the warming house having a finish floor at assumed elevation 100.0'- Ground .00.0'. Ground water levels usually flucmare. Fluctuations occur due to varying seasonal and yearly rainfall and snow melt, as well as other factors. GEOTEC C NSIDF,R'�TIONS Review of 0 Pro r�ties Co ressibili The swamp deposits are judged to be highly compressible. Peats undergo several phases of consolidation- The primary phase is associated with internal drainage of the material due to imposed loading, and usually represents the largest portion of the overall settlement. Primary settlements in pests typically occur over a period of about Ih year to 1 year. Secondary consolidatson of the peat continues indcf rely beyond the primary phase- The rate of secondary consolidation decreases with time. Secondary consolidation is attributed to plastic deformation of the particles (which does not happen with mineral soils) and organic decomposition. This type of settlement will continue, even if new load is not applied. Accurate prediction of peat settlement would involve extensive laboratory testing, which is beyond the scope of this work. However, based on water content test results and experience 011 APR 7 195 10:2-9 FROM AM ENG TST ST PAUL TO 97843462 PAGE.00S AET #95-1343 - Page 5 other sites, we roughly estimate that firtcre settlements of the existing athletic field area (no additional fill load imposed) would be on the order of 3" to 4" over the next 20 years. This Settlement is esn=ted to be less than 1" in arras of thinner swamp deposits (such as Boring #2). 'therefore, these predicted long-term settlements would likely be differential.. Regrading activities will result in some areas receiving additional load, which would result in additional primary consolidation. As an example, if 3' of additional fill were placed in the deeper swamp deposit areas, settlements associated with primary consolidation are estimated, to be on the order of 9" to 1'. This illustrates the seWement sensitivity of regrading. Also, we noted that a large stockpile currently exists at the site, which Inas likely resulted in local consolidation of the pests. Therefore, future differential settlements may occur Veen the land under the current stockpile versus the surrounding unloaded land. Surface Stabili The upper fill soils are anticipated to be relatively unstable under dymanic traffic loads. This would be a primary concern in the parking lot area. The extent of instability is Lely a function of the amount of peat and organic clay intermixing, the depth at which these soils are mrermlxed, and the depth to the ground water table. D For the most part, the on-site soil profile has moderate drainage properties. An exCCption may be where clay soils are present (such as at Boring #1) which can perch ground water if the clay has horizontal continuity. Also, the fine grained silty sands have the ability to "hold" a high water content. Frost Sins tibility The upper soils within the freezing zone are moderately high in frost susceptibility. The shallow ground water level and the potential for the on-site soils to allow capillary rise dan result m ice lense formation, which can greatly exaggerate frost heaving. APR 7 '95 10:29 FROM AM ENG TST ST PAUL TO 97843462 PAGE.006 AET #95-1343 - Page 5 CLule oI Pwt M vemen We judge that the majority of the past ground movements would be associated with consolidation of the peat swamp deposits, largely due to the weight of the overburden fill. Because the fill includes some organic soils, we anticipate some compression of the fill has also occurred, although to a significantly lesser degree than the major swamp deposit- In addition to the soil consolidation, the potential for soil frost heaving and ice lense formanon may be contributing to the ground movement problem. Although our evaluation lacks site specific laboratory testing, we estimate that future park settlements without additional regrading should be about 3" to 4" over the next 20 years. Local frost movements may also occur, which would add to the surface irregularity. Minimal grading may be needed to attain a reasonably level playing surface, and if grading re1nains within about 'fi' of the existing surface, surface seudt=nts should remain within about 1fi' . Variation of load due to the minor grading may result in the need for on-going maiia '+�..a=. Also, this type of future correction would not improve surface stability (if this is important). In the event you wish to improve future performance beyond that described, several options could be considered. These are as follows: 5uxr-haitge dption In order to reduce the consolidation potential of the swamp deposits, it would be possible to place a surcharge upon the athletic field area thereby precompressiug the materials prior to final grading. To reasonably surcharge the materials, we would suggest a minim� surcharge height of 3' to 4' above the eventual final grade, and allowing the surcharge to rest for several years prior to removal. It would be possible to provide a level surcharge and sod the land for athletic field use during this time, although movements should be expected. If such movements were deemed tolerable, you could elect to leave the surcharge in-place and use the field "as is". However, we suspect the primary and secondary consolidation which would result would be APR 7 '95 10:30 FROM AM ENG TST ST PAUL TO 97843462 PAGE.007 AET #95-1343 - Page 7 differmdai in nature such that surcharge removal would be more desirable. If the surcharge is removed to a similar elevation as currently exists, movements should still be Gid, although should be noticeably lower. LiZhtweight VW Replacement Qpfi2la A. second option which can reduce settlement and provide a more uniform and stable playing surface would be to excavate all existing fill soils to the top of the swamp deposits and replace these materials with a lightweight fill, such as wood chips. The upper several feet of the sabgtade should then be capped with a mineral soil (such as on-site sandy soils with any organic inclusions separated and discarded). The upper portion of this cap should be "topsoil" material to support vegetation. The soil should have a uniform thickness on the order of 2' to aid stability. We recommend the use of wood chips which are free of leaves and twigs_ Some decomposition of the wood chips will likely occur with time, mainly were they are present above the ground water level. However, wood chips/organic soils would be consistently present below the uniform soil cover layer such that decomposition movements should generally be uniform. RECON -DATIONS - P_a,RU LOT The existing subgrade is considered unsuitable for support of a new bituminous pavement system_ Correction will be needed to prevent premature pavement break up. Although the borings did not extend deep enough to evaluate peat thicknesses, it does appear peats are likely present below the upper fill soils and therefore, settlements of the parking surface should be anticipated_ It is typically not feasible to excavate the compressible materials, but rather prepare the surface to proper stability as needed and live with the surface movemems. The in-place profile is judged to be relatively unstable, and instability likely' increases with depth. For automobile parking lots, it is normally desirable to attain a high level of stability within the upper 21f2' subgrade zone. It will likely not be feasible to subcut to the lower portion of the zone and expect to scarify and dry the in-place soils to proper stability_ Due to this, it APR 7 195 10:Z0 FROM AM ENG TST ST PAUL TO 97843462 PAGE.00e AET #95-1343 - Page 8 is our rwommendauou that the in-place soils be subcut to at least 18" below final subgrade elevation, and preferably 2'- Subgrade elevation would be considered the ' bottom of the aggregate base layer. As soils in-place will likely be unstable, we recommend placement of a geotexrile stabilization fabric which mews the requircments of a Type V fabric per MnDOT Specification 3733. Because of the potential for wet subgrade conditions (before and after construction), we recommend the resultant subgrade fill be comprised of a sand which contains less than 5% by weight passing the #200 sieve and less than 40% by weight passing the #40 sieve. This sand should be compacted to a minimum of 98% of the standard Proctor density (ASTM:D698). Our recommended pavement section thickness designs appear on the following table. The table provides a design for a "10 year" pavement life and a "20 year" pavement life.- This design is based on light duty usage (intended for automobile parking). STTBSIWACE EXPLORATZOI�i The subsurface exploration program consisted of four standard pe=MdOn test borings and one flight auger boring, performed on March 29, 1995. The borings were preselected by our firm, as generally discussed with you. The actual locations were measured in the field, referenced to the existing warming house. The final boring locations appear on the Boring Location sketch (Figure 1). Surface elevations shown on the boring logs were also measured by AET. These APR 7 '95 10:31 FROM AM ENG TST ST PAUL TO 97843462 PAGE.009 AET #95-1343 - Page 9 elevations were based on the fmished floor slab elevation of the warming Douse, which we have assumed to be elevation 100.0'.

Dara sheets concerning the USC System. the descriptive terminology and the symbols used on the boring logs are also attached. The laboratory test program performed consisted of nine moismrelwamr content tests and one sieve analysis Hest. The water content test results are shown on the individual borings logs opposite the samples upon which they were performed (WC column). The sieve analysis test result appears on the separate data sheet following the boring logs_ LRYMATIOM The data derived through this sampling and observation program have been used to develop our opinions about the subsurface wDdmons at your sire.

Respectfully submitted, Mary aarion, Director Parks, Recreation and Forestry interoffice M E M O R A N D U M to: Parks and Recreation Commission from: Mary Saarion subject: Disc Golf Course at Silver View Park date: May 19, 1998 A few of the disc golf baskets located in the upland forest area of Silver View Park have either been stolen or vandalized. The location of these baskets probably was not the best because the area often is wet. Also, the area is hidden and thus the vandalism. If you recall, the MN Disc Golf Association planned and installed the Disc Golf Course. They advertised the nine hole course each year. Because of the missing holes and vandalised units, the course is no longer a legitimate 9 hole course. The MN Disc Golf Course membership has called to ask whether or not the City will be re -installing the units or not. The cost of each unit is approximately $500. Installation and upkeep are also required. In addition, new placement of approximately 4 holes would be necessary for a nine hole course. The tricky part comes in the design of the course. Because there are so many active areas of the park and intertwining paths and parking, there are liability concerns. It is important that the path of the disc throw does not come in the path or hit another park user. Another phone call was received by a group in Plymouth who are re -constructing a disc golf course. They are looking for disc golf baskets and wanted to know whether or not the City of Mounds View would want to sell the ones at Silver View. I know that there are people that use the disc golf course at Silver View. I do not know the frequency nor the numbers of users. The space available for adding 4 more holes to Silver View Park is limited. However, a disc golf participant, Ken Soles, has offered to prepare a disc golf course plan for your recommendation. He has no special skills nor planning expertise, only the love of the game and experience on many disc golf courses. I would like to hear the Commissioner's ideas about the Disc Golf Course at Silver View so that I can reply back to these people. 4e) SILVERVIEW DISC GOLF COURSE REVISED • • - . 1 1i ., ..,.. • � E ,.
