July 9, 2004 Susan M.H. Hall Assistant City Manager St. Anthony Village 3301 Silver Lake Road St. Anthony, MN 55418-1699 Dear Ms. Hall, As we discussed at our meeting on July 7, 2004, Three Rivers Park District will begin limited park operations at our Silver Lake site(formerly Silver Lake Camp—Salvation Army Site) on September 15, 2004. As mentioned, the Park District's Board of Commissioners has approved Silverwood: A Center for Arts and the Environment as the park's name. This fall, we will provide autumn walking trails and several public programs, including two public open houses to introduce the community and region to this beautiful park and the Park District's development plans for Silverwood. Although the park will be under development for the next two years, we would like to facilitate limited public access beginning in late September 2004. As a part of this effort, we would like to install boundary, directional and main entrance signs. Attached is an area site map showing the approximate sign placement locations for the boundary and directional signs, as well as for the main entrance sign. Also attached are images of these three types of signs, which are: Boundaa Signs: 12"x 12"blue and cream-colored signs to be installed on the perimeter fence, which borders the east,west, and north sides of the Park. An estimated 12 signs will be installed. Directional Signs: Approximately 48"w x 24"h,brown with white border and white lettering directional signs placed along the county roads approaching the park. Signs will be placed at the following three locations (signs, sign locations, and the necessary permits to be provided by Ramsey County): 1. On the east side of Silver Lake Road and south of the junction of Silver Lake Road and West County Road E to provide direction to Silverwood for northbound traffic. 2. On the west side of Silver Lake Road and north to the junction of Silver Lake Road and West County Road E to provide direction to Silverwood for southbound traffic. 3. On the north side of West County Road E and several hundred feet east of the main park entrance to provide direction to Silverwood for westbound traffic. Temporary Park Entrance Sign: A 4' x 8' sign including Three Rivers Park District name and logo and park name. It will be a temporary sign and located at 2950 West County Road E., which is the current main-public entrance to the park. When the park is fully operational, the location for a permanent sign will be determined.
