Dear Parks and Recreation Commissioners:
The regular Parks and Recreation Commission meeting will be held on
Thursday, August 27 at 6:30 p.m. in the City Hall council chambers.
Two issues of importance are on the agenda. The first is concerning
a petition received by the residents of Silver View pond. Please
read my memo regarding this matter. The people who have signed the
petition have been invited, by certified letter, to attend the
meeting.
The second issue is the suggestion to rescind the last two capital
improvement plans for reasons explained in my memo.
• Because of these two important issues, I hope that you can attend
the meeting. Please call me at 784-3055 , ext. #20 if you have
questions or wish additional information regarding these or any
other issues. I look forward to seeing you at the meeting. Again,

and concerns of citizens.
RESIDENT CONCERN Resident Richard Kops requested to address the
Commission regarding his concerns at Oakwood
Park. Mr. Kops expressed concern about usage
of Oakwood Park by baseball teams and older
softball teams. He said he had experienced
occasions when foul tips were hit into his
yard and felt that it was a dangerous
situation.

and the amount of usage of fields expecially
early in the spring. Chairperson Burmeister
added that the Commission did not choose to
• change their current policy on field usage.
a

Staff went on to explain that most coaches would
not request a field that was inadequate for
their team. However, the instance that Mr.
Kops was referring to occurred early in the
Spring when teams are clamoring for field
space for practices. Staff added that the
department has made an effort to issue permits
for fields that meet the needs of the specific
teams. However, there is the case of pick-up
games and fields not reserved through the
recreation department that are uncontrollable.
PARK TOUR The Commission adjourned for a tour of
Greenfield and Groveland parks.

MEMO TO: Parks and Recreation Commissioners
FROM: Mary Saarion, Director
• Parks, Recreation and Forestry
DATE: 13 ,
August 1987
g
RE: Silver View Pond Pathway
A petition was recently received from residents of the Silver View
Park pond area. A copy of the petition is enclosed. City Attorney
Richard Meyers and City Clerk-Administrator Donald Pauley have been
consulted on this matter. It is Attorney Meyers recommendation that
the pathway be completed for liability reasons. It is recommended
that the City should not consider the sale of the property.
Furthermore, Attorney Meyers recommends that the concerned residents
receive a 30 - 60 day notice of the cities intentions to construct
the pathway. The City is willing to consider a reasonable
agreement with the residents to address concerns with amenities such
as landscaping.
The history of this park development shows the original plans for a
continuous trail around the entire pond. The park design maps and
• plans were initiated in 1979 - 1980. In 1981 a park referendum was
on the general election ballot. At that time, park amentities
throughout the City were planned including a bridge to connect the
two paths around the pond. These amenities were dependent upon the
success of this referendum. The referendum failed and the result
was that plans for the five year capital improvement plan were
•
unobtainable due to lack of funds.
During this 1981 park referendum campaign, the lots and homes in
the Mary Anderson development were being sold and developed. The
sales campaigns included the Park Master Plans, a concern of the
buyers. Unfortunately, the plans were never realized
because of the failed park referendum.
•
Although the park referendum failed, the development of the parks
cannot halt. New plans must be developed to utilize the parks for
the purpose intended. The plans for a pathway around Silver View
Pond need not die. The solution of foregoing an expensive bridge
and continuation of the chipped wood pathway around the pond is an
inexpensive and feasible alternative to offer the people a
continuous looped trail around the community park.
It has been indicated that a verbal promise may have been made
by former Director Anderson that the path would not extend
continuously around the pond. However, this was contingent that the
bridge would be affordable with the success of the Park Referendum.
Written agreements on this matter have not been obtainable by the
residents , Mary Anderson Homes or City files.
•
-2-
•
The issues of concern stated by the residents petition are
questionable.
1 . The development of such a pedestrian walk is not inconsistent
with the original plan for Silver View Park as one can see on
development park design maps. Only in respect to the success
of the park referendum was the bridge planned.
2. Hiking . is considered a legitimate passive , open space park
activity.
3 . Since people walk the undeveloped portion of the pathway from
• point A to point B, the forming of a "mud" path is imminent
5.
and surely the development of a landscaped pathway is more
aesthetic than a mudpath and the inherent liabilities the City
assumes.
4 . The development of a continuous pathway around the entire pond
will be more aesthetically pleasing than an unfinished path
loop which stops at points A and 13 and does not connect as is the
current case.
The pathway behind the homes will cause little additional
maintenance than already is performed. Currently, the City
mows the park property. Additional maintenance to replenish
wood chips and water or weed landscaping would be the only
only additional " intrusion" .
The pathway will not prevent natural drainage since the pathway
will be level on the slope, any heavy rain runoff would run
over the pathway from the higher park property.
6 . The issue of Silver View pathway has been on the Parks and
Recreation Commission agendas during March, April and July. A
special letter was mailed to each resident who had a concern
about the pathway inviting them to the Mare'h meeting. Concerned
residents did attend the April meeting and their concerns were
heard by the Commission.
Considering all the issues , the Parks and Recreation Commission has
a strong case in the motion made on April 23 , 1987 to recommend the
continuation of the path around the pond.
Staff recommends that the Parks and Recreation Commission hold fast
to the motion to continue the pathway around the entire pond.
Furthermore, it is recommended that a 30-60 day notice be sent to
the residents who signed the petition notifying them of the date in
which the pathway development will begin, i . e. October 19 , 1987 .
In addition, the City would offer to consider an agreement of
landscaping wishes and desires of the residents in hopes of
alleviating their fears that the path would be an eyesore.

MEMO TO: Mounds View Parks & Rec Lion Commissioners
FROM: Bruce K. Andersen, ic _ , .//
• Parks, Recreation Ah . ,'0!L .sir:y
., DATE: May 15, 1906
RE: Silver View Park Status
During the past week, staff has been speaking with a number of
residents adjacent to Silver View Park , as well as reviewing aer-
ial maps to determine exactly what modifications have occurred to
the park property. It appears that the problem is not as severe
as was initially perceived by staff, as the aerial photos indi-
cate that only high grass and a few low shrubs including varigat-
ed dogwood , raspberries and some small aspen and poplar trees
were removed by the new property owners.
In addition to reviewing the aerial photos, staff has spoken with
representatives from Mary Anderson, as well as a number of resi-
dents surrounding the park area, and it appears that a number of
misunderstandings have occurred over the years in relationship to
the City' s intent for future development and Silver View Park.
To clarify the City' s position, as well as to begin the develop-
ment of a policy regarding shoreline maintenance and park devel-
opment around the area , staff would recommend that an information
meeting be held with the residents abutting Silver View Park, on
Thursday, May 22 at 7: 30 p.m. I would further recommend that the
• Park Commission gather at their regular scheduled time, at 6; 30
p.m. to hold a brief meeting to review regular agenda items as
well as to discuss some type of strategy regarding the evening ' s
public information meeting. Staff will be conducting a brief
walking tour of Silver View Park for any interested Commissioners
prior to the meeting at 5: 30 p.m. Anyone interested should just
plan on meeting at the south edge of the Silver View Park parking
lot.
After speaking with neighbors and walking the site , I would
recommend the following questions be addressed:
1 . A determination be made as to the actual use of the park/pond
property directly behind each of the residential as well as
manor homes. At this time, the policy has been to not devel-
op a trail along the western nodule . This has been a verbal .
understanding with Mary Anderson, with no formal documents
indicating this agreement. It should also be known that
staff has submitted a grant to complete the trail around the
entire pond area, as well as construct a bridge over the
narrows of the pond . But, at this time, staff envisions that
chances for funding will be slim. .
2. We need to address the maintenance of the property in ques-
tion from a couple of perspectives :
0 .
a. Who will be responsible for maintaining the property?
b. At what level will the property be maintained?
-2-
At this time,, the majority of the residents are maintaining •
the pond area by themselves down to 10 - 15 feet off the pond
area. In addition to determining the type of maintenance and
frequency, we need to discuss the peripheral issues which
include fertilization and weed control .
3 . We also need to discuss the encroachment of facilities and/or
storage of properties on the park area. Problems that have
currently developed include; Dog houses, gardens, tree
plantings, and bird houses. The problem is currently com-
• pounded in that there are sections of trail on the north side
of the pond whereby the City has encroached on Mary Anderson
property to develop the trail area .
4 . We need to develop a planting policy from two perspectives:
a. What types of shubbery, hedges, and/or planting does the
City envision in the area?
b. Will the residents have any input in the planting pro-
cess?
5. .Should we define the park property boundary corners? At this
time, the engineering department has staked the rear property
lines, and it has been suggested that some type of concrete
monument, approximately 2 - 3 inches out of the ground be
placed at each of the corners so that a permanent visible •
boundary marker would he established.
6 . Establish a philosophical base from which the residents and
City could work from. Specific issues would include uses of
the park , :liability, future development, aesthetics and pr.o-
gramming issues such as fishing , canoeing , boating , water
fowl habitat development and other related issues, so that
there is a clear understanding as to what the City' s intent
for future development will be .
Staff will be forwarding an abbreviated copy ' of the aforemen-
tioned study questions to each of the residents in the Mary
Anderson home development on Monday, May 19 , 1986 . Should you
have additional questions or desire a c-hange in the meeting
plans, feel free to contact myself directly at 784-3055 , ext .

• REVIEW THE RESOLUTION Director Saarion reviewed the resolution regarding
ESTABLISHING A POLICY park land abutting residential property. Forester
FOR PARK LAND THAT ABUTS Wriskey said that he had located the park
RESIDENTAL PROPERTY boundaries and would be working with residents
regarding landscaping of the boundary areas.
Director Saarion requested feedback from residents
regarding the trail going totally around the park.
Resident Carol Golden stated that she had a map
indicating that the trail would not go through the
residents backyards and added that she had paid a
$10,000 premium to the builder to have a lot
located on the pond. Commissioner Silvis stated
that the agreement was merely verbal regarding the
trail and that nothing was ever put in
writing.
Forester Wriskey asked the residents if people are
continuing around the pond. The residents said yes
they are, but they stay very close to the edge of
the pond and this becomes somewhat dangerous and
• unsteady. Forester Wriskey than asked if the
residents felt planting shrubs to channel people
around the area would help delineate park property.
The residents replied that it would be a good idea.
-2-
Resident Tom McKay asked the status of the bridge.
/ Chairperson Burmeister said that financially, it is
not possible at this point.
Chairperson Quick added that we lost funding for
Phase II and III of Silver View Park.
4 Resident Laurie Trettel said that she doesn't feel
a bridge would stop traffic and feels people should
be able to walk there.
Chairperson Burmeister noted that the 1991 budget
calls for a floating boardwalk. Ed Trettel was
concerned that a boardwalk would obstruct the
wildlife in the area, especially the pheasants.
Several residents expressed concern with the
further development of the softball fields with the
addition of lights. Director Saarion stated that
Silver View Park is a community park serving the
entire City of Mounds View including the adult
softball program and that lighting the softball

SILVER VIEW POND
PATHWAY SYSTEM Staff distributed a letter from Mr. Dan Hill , a
Mounds View resident, regarding his concern that •
the Silver View Park path would not be continued
around the park.
There was a discussion regarding past agreements
with the developer about the continuation of the •
pathway around the park. After searching for
any documents with the developer regarding
this matter, Director Saarion did not find
anything that would indicate a prior agreement
with the developer.
Director Saarion stated that it would be
advantageous to the park to continue the trail
around the pond. The Commission agreed and
suggested that staff begin work on the portion
of park property in back of the Scotland Green
Apartments. The Commission recommended that
staff prepare a time line for completing the
trail around the pond.
A motion was made by Commissioner Daniels,
seconded by Chairperson Burmeister to proceed
with plans to install the trail completely

TO: MS. Mary Saarion
DIRECTOR
MOUNDSVIEW PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY
Dear Ms. Saarion
•
I am sorry that circumstance has kept me from attending this evening's park
board meeting.
I would appreciate it very much if you could present this letter in lieu of
my personal attendance.
My present concern is that the hark chip path that was scheduled for completion
as part of the origional first phase of park development now be finished as
promised.
During the time of debate about the proposed housing development and prk construct-
ion, one of our primary concerns was that the developer not mis-represent the
access to parkland to any of his prospective buyers.
The thing that was feared by us has obviously come to pass! When a resident comes
before the board with a map furnished her by the developer purporting to rep-
, resent the prop erty as shoreline property and then states that she paid a
Ten Thousand Dollar premium for that access, I think it is past time for the
• board to establish permanent boundaries as evidence that the shoreline is public
• not private land.
I regret that the press of business has prevented my involving myself more closely
in the progress of park development, as I origionally had intended, but you can
rest assured that I will find the time in the future to stay in touch with the
status of Siverview Park.
I have other concerns which I intend to put forward at future board meetings, so
I would appreciate being added to the publicatf`on list of board meeting minutes.
Thank you so much for your consideration, and I am hopefuil that the board will
see fit to act withal ' possible haste.
I dm, Repectfully Yours,

Dear Mary:
Just a note to thank you for your consideration in listening to some of
our suggestions regarding the trees on the park property near our house,
and regarding the wood chip path around Silver View Pond. Following
Rick Wriskey's direction, we have trimmed the willows on the park property
so that they look really pretty now.
I hope that you will keep in mind our suggestion that the wood chip path
be continued around the pond. As I mentioned on the phone, Laurie and I
see many people walking around Silver View Pond. Reaching the end of the
. 0 present wood chip path by our house, many hikers appear to hesitate, since
there are no indications as to where the park and private property
boundaries exist. More often than not, hikers (out of a sense of courtesy)
walk on the steeply-sloped bank on the pond. My wife and I did the same thing
many times in the past, before the park property lines were staked
out this summer. This makes for really uncomforable and unsafe walking.
I think that if the wood chip path were complete around the pond (it
covers about 90% of the path today) , all people who use the park could •
do so in a much more comfortable and safe fashion.
Thank you for considering this idea for improving the use of Silver ,
View Park.
Regards,

FROM: MARY iAARI ON, DIRECTOR
PARKS , RECREATION AND FORESTRY
DATE: AUGUST 14 , 1987
•
RE: RECOMMENDATION TO FORMALLY RESCIND THE PROPOSED CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENi PLAN
During the past several months three controversial issues have been
presented to the Parks and :recreation Commission regarding park
improvements. All three of the issues referred to the 1930
proposed capital improvements plan. This plan was initially
formulated to comply with a requirement for LAWCON funding of Phase
II of Silver View Park and for the park referendum. This 1930 five
year capital improvement plan was contingent upon the success of
the referendum. information regarding this plan was widely
distributed with information on the park referendum. Currently,
staff and Commission is experiencing problems because residents
still remember the plan and forget that the funding source does
not exist.
Here are the three latest examples of misunderstandings :
• 1 . Silver View ' ark bridge . Residents opposing the development of
the pathway around the entire pond argue that the plan called
for a steel galvanized bridge to link the north and south side
paths.
2. Mr. Kops recalled a promise for a new over-hang backstop at
Oakwood Park.
3. One of the arguments by residents near Random Park opposing the
placement of the classroom building , ( not a rink shelter) , was
that the plan did not include a rink shelter at Random Park.
All three of these examples referred to the 1980 park plan. The
City is unable to fulfill the suggestions of this plan due to a lack
of funding source. Also a recent five year capital_ improvement plan
does not realistically reflect funds available . Therefore , it is
staff ' s recommendation that the Park and Recreation Commission
formally move to rescind the 1980 and 1986 five year cap.ital
improvement plan with the intention of re-submitting a more
realistic, progressive and obtainable five year capital improvement.
plan.

MEMO TO; Mounds View City Council
• • FROM: Wayne Burmeister., Chairperson
Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commission
DATE: September 28, 1986
RE; 1987 Capital Improvement Plan
During the past six months, the Mounds View Parks and Recreation
Commission has been reviewing the comprehensive parks and open
space plan that was developed in 1980, to determine how the plan
could be implemented within the City' s current fiscal structure.
To that end, we have reviewed our five year capital improvement
plan for parks and have revised it to reflect an annual
expenditure of $72,000 - $96,000 for 1988 through. 1992.
The Park Commission directed staff , approximately four months ago,
to develop cost estimates including detailed breakdowns for all
the capital improvements proposed within the City park system,
Following a detailed review of each of those documents, we
prioritized the park projects based on the following items :
1 . Environmental concerns and preservation of existing park
resources.
2 . Safety concerns and health concerns.
3 . Current community voids and/or deficiencies as outlined in the
• City-wide parks system master plan.
4 . Aesthetics and/or general park improvements.
Based on this prioritization of needs and values, we hereby submit
our proposed capital improvement plan for the next five years.

a
A brief background on each of the capital improvement plans is as
follows;
1988
1 . Silver View Park parking lot. Paving of the Silver. View Park
parking lot was ranked as the number one priority by the Park
Commission based On the current destruction and vandalism
that is occurring at Silver View Park due to our lack of bar-
riers and control in the parking lot area. The Park Commis-
sion feels strongly that Silver View is the central focus of
our park system and that based on environmental andsafety
concerns, as well as fulfilling community voids, it is our
highest priority. With the paving of the parking lotand
concrete. curb and gutter to define the parking area, we will
be able to preserve the park in its natural state ,
It should be noted that Silver View Park is the most heavily
used facility due to the extensive adult athletic play and we
feel that in addition to the reasons stated, pure numbers
justify the need for this improvement.
•

1989
1. General skating - Greenfield Park. When Greenfield Park was
recently renovated , the general skating area which was locat-
ed on the west end of the park was relocated to the southeast
corner. The Greenfield Park skating facility serves both
the Oakwood and Greenfield Park areas. The $8 ,000 is to
regrade the site and place permanent light fixtures at the
facility to serve the residents in the northeast quadrant of
the City, This project ranked extremely high on both safety
concerns; as well as fulfilling a void of pleasure skating in
this quadrant of the City.
2. Oakwood Park multi-purpose court. This item was ranked high
due to the major community void centering around multi-
purpose courts. We currently do not have a multi-purpose
court other than Greenfield Park. Multi-purpose courts
provide a variety of recreational activities including bas-
ketball , four-square, hop scotch and other hard court surface
activities. We feel that Oakwood Park, with its high concen-
tration of young people, is an ideal location to develop our
first City multi-purpose court.
3. Woodcrest Park regrading. Woodcrest is currently in the
worst condition of any of the existing parks and is greatly
in need of general regrading and turf establishment. It is
• the recommendation of the Park Commission that the storm
sewer ditch currently running adjacent to the park on the
west and southern boundaries would also be completed at this
time with S.W.M. funds to give the park a more finished look.
The site is currently an eyesore and in need of general land-
scaping and turf establishment.
4 . Arden Park playstructure. This is an item that has been
requested by residents for a number of years due to the lack
of any type of park activity for young people in the area.
We feel that a small wooden play structure (above ground )
would fit well into the park area and will serve the immedi-
ate needs of the residents. In addition, the Park Commission
feels that site has been used exclusively for the City-wide
compost program and some type of facility for local residents
would be beneficial .
•
5. Building ' improvements at four sites. As you are 'aware, we
purchased three used school classroom facilities four years
ago and have been utilizing them extensively for not only our
winter skating program, but also our summer playground pro-
grams. It is our recommendation that the buildings be
upgraded from an energy conservation standpoint to' include
the replacement of the existing single pane windows, caulking
of the frames, and installation of new windows at Woodcrest
Park. In addition, we would purchase a permanent floor sur-
e
face for each of the buildings to serve both the winter skat-
ing and summer usage. It should also be noted that City
recreation staff is now utilizing the buildings on a year-
round basis with a pre-school program at Groveland Park.

1990 •
1 . Silver View bridge . This was ranked high due to the need for 411
a complete trail around the Silver View Park pond . In addi-
tion to completing the trail loop, it would also allow access
from the residents in the Mary Anderson single family homes
to the developed park area on the north side . The bridge
would also serve a functional purpoase as a fishing pier when
• the pond is stocked by the DNR.
2. Silver View tot lot, As Silver View Park is the major com-
munity park within the City, we feel that some type of major
tot lot equipment should be installed to complete the devel-
opment of facilities for all age groups. We currently do not
have any creative play area for the young people at Silver
View Park and it would be ideal due to the athletic use,
family hikes and walking that occurs throughout the site.
3 , Random Park multi-purpose court. The multi-purpose court at
Random Park would be located in the southern half of the park
and would complete the development of Random Park. As you
are aware, staff installed a new play structure three years
ago at Random Park along with regrading the site . By
installing a multi-purpose court, we would be able to
increase the use of that site in a heavy residential area.
4 . Woodcrest multi-purpose court. This would provide our third
multi-purpose court within the City and serve the southwest
corner of the City. It is our goal to have seven multi-pur- •
pose courts located throughout each of the City parks which
would still be twenty-two short of the national standards of
having one multi-purpose court per 500 people . The Mounds
View City Parks and Open Space Plan recommended nine, and
with the seven proposed , we feel we could meet the needs
within the City park system.
5 . 72 inch rotary lawn mower. Two 72 inch rotary lawn mowers
were purchased in . 1985 and it is staff 's recommendation that
one of the mowersrbe replaced every five years and $18,000
has been budgeted to replace one of the two new mowing units.
1991 •
1 . Greenfield Park archery range . This project was listed as
a high priority in the Citywide parks and open space plan.
We have an ideal location in the northwest corner of Green-
field Park. This proposed project will include the develop-
ment of four archery butts as well as a security fence around
the entire area.
2. Lights at Silver View Park. This is a major capital improve-
ment which would serve the adult softball fields at Silver
View Park which is currently the largest recreation program •
within the City. With the addition of lights at Silver View,
we would not need to add additional ballfields within the' .
City. In addition, we would be able to have evening play for
both youth soccer and football at Silver View Park.
-5-
3. Oakwood picnic shelter . A small open air picnic shelter. is
• proposed at Oakwood Park to encourage use of the site and
allow people an opportunity to picnic in a relatively densely
populated residential area.
4. City Hall multi-purpose court. This multi-purpose court
would complete the City Halt—Park grounds and provide one
last amenity for. Lhe large community picnics and festival
celebrations 'that are held at City Hail Park.
1992
1 . Woodcrest Lot lot. The tot lot equipment is currently 12
years old at Woo crest Park and in 1992 will be 17 years old
. and in need of replacement.
2, Lambert multi-purpose• court. This is the last_ multi-purpose
court proposed In lre City park system and would complete the
development at Lambert Park.
3. Ilockeyy lights at Hillview Park. The current hockey lights at
IiTTlview Paa are in extremely poor condition and are over 15
years old which will make them 20 years old in 1992. The new
system that we propose would be energy efficient and not only
would 1L greatly decrease our electrical costs, but it would
provide a higher level of "foot candles" in the rink area,
• 4. Oakwood Park pjay area . The play equipment at Oakwood Park
is eight years oid in great need of repair and replacement.
This was the last wood system that we have in the City and
would be replaced with a metal , steel or aluminum system.
5. Ploaiin boardwalk at,Silver View Park , This item would
place the entire trail at Silver View Park on park property
and would greatly enhance the trail experience . The board-
walk that we wouldbe looking at would be similar to the
walkway at the Springbrook Nature Center or. Roseville Central
Park. By adding this dimension at Silver View Park, we would
able to expand the program possibilities to include bird
observation decks and other areas for nature identification
along Lhe trail area .
In addition, we would like to recommend that a joint meeting be
established with the City Council so that we can identify specific
funding sources to meeting the capital improvement plan as out-
lined . As you are aware, we have been unsuccessful with our past
park referendums and it is our recommendation that Lhe City Coun-
cil begin to look at a permanent, long range solution Co funding
park improvements. That recommendation was formalized AL the July
21 Commission meeting . AL that meeting, a formal motion was
passed unanimously recommending that the Park Commission recom-
mends to the City Council that a goal of $500, 000 be established
for the park dedication fund with the dollars to be accumulated
} • over the next five years. Interest from the park dedication fund,
in the amount of $35,000 - $40,000, would then be used to supple-
ment other City funding sources for developing long range capital
,improvement projects. Possible methods for establishing the park
dedication fund over the next five years would be=

Commission would like to again request a meeting be established
