SUBJ: Changing Lake Ann Field #3 from a Multi-Use I:'acility to a Designated Youth Little League Field PROPOSED MOTION: ''The City Council approves conversion of Lake Ann Ball Field #3 from a multi- purpose field to a dedicated youth Little League field." Approval of this item requires a simple majority vote of those City Council members present. The City of Chanhassen takes great pride in providing first class athletic facilities to the youth and adults of our community. As our community population grows, we have an increasing need to provide additional or sports specific facilities. The Little League Baseball program has experienced substantial growth and the Chanhassen Athletic Association (CAA) has approached the city requesting that we convert Lake Ann field #3 from a multi-purpose field to a youth baseball field. For many years, Lake Ann field #3 has been used primarily by CAA for boys baseball during the spring and summer seasons. For the first time this past fall, the CAA girls' softball program used this field two times per week for their program. If the decision is made to convert this field, a different location for girls softball will need to be identified. In order to convert this field, it will be necessary to erect a fence at a distance of 225 ft. and replace the ag-lime infield with a grass infield. The biggest project expense will be the outfield fence. Discussions have taken place between staff and fencing contractors to look at cost savings. It has been determined that the existing outfield fence posts and 8 ft. wire fence can be reused. Changing the infield to grass can occur after the summer season concludes in July so that there would not be any interruption during the baseball season. Chanhassen is a Community for Life.
