All five new structures will be replacing outdated wooden playground equipment. At this time, staff is seeking City Council approval to purchase four of the five playgrounds. The four playgrounds are for Chanhassen Hills Park, Curry Farms Park, North Lotus Lake Park and Rice Marsh Lake Park. The equipment budget for each site, with the exception of North Lotus Lake Park, is $40,000. The equipment budget at North Lotus Lake Park is $45,000. The request for proposal (RFP) and selection process allows each neighborhood to participate in the planning, selection and installation the playgrounds. The four neighborhood groups have met a total of 14 times. Attendance at each meeting varied from as few as six residents to as many as twenty. Six playground companies were invited to participate in the RFP process. Companies are selected based upon past performance and equipment quality. Upon receipt of all of the proposals, a meeting of the neighborhood playground committees (one for each site) was called. The evaluation and selection process was independent and unbiased. Neighborhoods were free to arrive at their own evaluation methods and voted their favorite design and manufacturers in a democratic manner. In all four independent evaluations, the equipment and design proposed by Midwest Playscapes using Playworld Systems equipment was selected as the best. Neighborhood installation events have been tentatively scheduled for the following dates: June 17 and 18 - Curry Farms Park June 24 and 25 - North Lotus Lake Park July 8 and 9 - Rice Marsh Lake Park July 29 and 30 - Chanhassen Hills Park The City of Chanhassen' A growing communily with clean lakes, quallly schools, a charming downtown, thriving huslnesses, winding Iralls, and heautlful parks A g_al place 10 live, work, and play. Mr. Todd Gerhardt April 15, 2005 Page 2 The quoted price for each of the playgrounds includes two days of dedicated installation supervision. In addition, the Park Department will assign two laborers to work the duration of each installation. This method of combining professional installers with neighborhood volunteers utilizing appropriate equipment has proved to be very efficient and rewarding. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve the purchase of the following four new playgrounds for Chanhassen parks from Midwest Playscapes, Inc. Þ> Chanhassen Hills Park Playground - $39,999.86 Þ> Rice Marsh Lake Park Playground - $39,999.86 Þ> Curry Farms Park Playground - $39,999.86 Þ> North Lotus Lake Park - $44,998.97 These expenditures are appropriately allocated to meet the overall project budget of $455,000.

When trust matters. ssh02419 Dec/02 2.375" outside diameter x 12 ga. Tubing Tensile strength shall be 75.000 psi. Yield strength shall be 60.000 psi. Aluminum Tubing {Posts} Shall be extruded 6061· T6 extruded seamless aluminum tubing. ASTM Specifications: A-315, A-500, A-513, B-221, QQ-A- 200/8. E-8. Tubing shall be 5" outside diameter x .125 wall thickness tubing. Tensile strength shall be 38 ksi. Yield strength shall be 35 ksi. ,...., G 7 Superdurable Polyester Powder Coat Finish Powder coating is electrostatically applied at a thickness of 2 to 5 mils (.002 - .005). Powder coating produces a highly decorative finish having a hard, smooth surface, which is resistant to abrasion, corrosion, and mechanical damage. All galvanized tubing has a factory-applied clear acrylic polymer coating. All components shall be free of excess weld and weld spa lis. After fabrication all weld joints are to thoroughly cleaned using a chipping hammer and wire brush to remove all weld slag from weld joint. Prior to finishing, components shall be cleaned with a three-stage alkaline bath and a ECLPS 2400 sealer for adhesion and rust inhibitor during the preparation process. Components are thoroughly dried before being coated with Superdurable TGIC polyester powder and are cured at temperatures between 3750 and 4000 F. Epoxy or hybrid paints are not acceptable. Finish quality conforms to ASTM Specifications: B- 117 (Salt Spray Resistance Test). 0-2794 (Impact Resistance Test), 0- 1734 (Mandrel Flexibility Test). 0-2247 (Humidity Resistance Test). 0-822 (Weatherability Test). 0·3363 (Pencil Hardness Test). 0-3359-B (Crosshatch Adhl!$ion Test). and 0-2454 (Overbake Resistance Test) 0-522 (Conical Mandrel), 0-523 (Gloss - 60°). Standard durability of polyester powder coatings typically retain 80% of their original gloss after 1 year, and 50% of their original gloss after 18 months of Florida outdoor exposure. Superdurable polyester powder coatings typically retain 90% of their original gloss after 1 year, and 50% of their original gloss after five years of Florida outdoor exposure. Expect superdurable colors to retain 80% of their gloss after 2 years of outdoor exposure. These coatings are also shaded with high grade, light stable pigments and will shift less than 2dE in color after 2 years. GO PlayArmour Finish PlayArmour application shall be from 80 to 100 mils on all coated parts except chain. Chain application shall be from 60 to 100 mils. Adhesion spring test shall be - 11 Ibs. minimum. Tensile strength shall be no less than 2500 psi, elongating no less than 290%. Tear strength shall be no less than 420 Ibs.linch. Hardness shall be Shore A, of no less than 85 durom- eter, +/-2 durometer. Prior to coating, components shall be thoroughly cleaned in a hot pressure washer, and phosphatized. This allows surfaces to fully accept primer. Components are primed with a clear acrylic thermosetting solution. Before dipping, parts shall be preheated to minimum 3500 F, to fully activate primer to accept PlayArmour coating. Components are dipped in a ultraviolet (UV) stabilized, liquid PlayArmour, then salt bath cured. Salt bath cures provide better resistance to fading and cracking creating a longer life expectancy. Salt bath cures also eliminate sharp point hazards by softening the drip marks created by immersion into the vinyl solution. Salt bath curing process produces a higher quality product by providing better heat transfer over the entire part which assures a uniform temperature and even cure. The PlayArmour coated parts shall have a textured finish for enhanced traction. G9 Installation Instructions Explicit installation instructions shall be provided which will include a detailed top view and footing drawings plus written instructions to assure proper installation of the equipment. Maintenance guidelines and inspection checklists shall also be provided. The provided installation instructions and maintenance instructions shall be "project" specific containing component information that is part of the playground design. A "generic" package of installation instruction and maintenance instructions is not acceptable. ,..., Call: (952) 361-3504 Fax: (952) 361-3549 email: playscapes@earthlink.net 500 N Pine Street Suite 104 Chaska MN 55318-1964 ,....

The credit for initiating this assessment is due to our park maintenance division who identified significant safety concerns with our older play structures. New safety guidelines had been implemented since the time that these wood structures had been installed, leaving many play components out of compliance with current guidelines. Finance Phone 952.2271140 Fax: 952227.1110 Planning & Natural Resources Phone 952.227.1130 Fax: 952.227.1110 The Park and Recreation Commission made it clear that upgrading park amenities to meet current safety guidelines was a top priority. City Administrators and the City Council supported efforts to update these playgrounds. The 2004 Capital Improvement Program included dollars to replace outdated playgrounds located at Lake Ann Park and Meadow Green Park. A new playground was also installed at Bandimere Community Park to account for the planned removal of a wood play structure at Bandimere Heights Park.

In total, the City is investing $670,000 in cash plus labor between fiscal years 2004 and 2005 to upgrade City playgrounds. I commend all those involved for their quick action to ensure that City playgrounds meet published safety guidelines. Web Site W"N'N,ci.charlhassen,mn.us INVITATION FOR PUBLIC COMMENT One of the best ways to meet the needs of our residents is to ask for their input. So prior to initiating any detailed planning efforts on the five new playgrounds, a public meeting was scheduled. In some instances engaging the neighborhoods The City of Chanhassen . A growing communlly wilh ciean takes, qualily schoots, a charming downlown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beaulilul parks. A g_at place 10 live, work, and play Park & Recreation Commission January 18, 2005 Page 2 may result in Neighborhood Committees being formed to plan and install playgrounds. Other neighborhoods may elect to provide design input without actually forming a committee. In those instances the Commission would act on their behalf in completing the project. Selecting playground equipment is fun and complex work. Staff looks forward to working with the Commission and resident groups on these projects. COMMISSION ACTION I invite the Park and Recreation Commission to take formal public comments on each park site. Please take comments for one site at a time as listed on the agenda. At the conclusion of formal comments, I suggest the Commission take a IS-minute recess to engage the audience in informal conversation and to allow the Council Chambers to clear. Park and Rec Commission - January 25,.2005 Stolar: Great. Well again thank you. Paul Modeen: Well thank you. Hoffman: What's the motto of Key Club? What's the goal? Paul Modeen: What's the goal? Hoffman: Yeah. Paul Modeen: Just to serve the greater community so we range. . . the American Cancer Society a lot. We do a couple Relay forIife through... We did last year. We raised $20,000 for that. In one night so events just ranging like you said, from Halloween with the little kids, I know I was a part of it. I also did one in Chaska. Dressed as a cowboy and it's fun. It's just fun. I have little Bisters and kind of run around, and it's a good time so I know I've been in Key Club for 2 years now and it's been a great time so again thank you very much. Stolar: Thanks. Any other visitor presentations? Seeing none, we will move onto approval of the minutes. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Scharfenberg moved, Spizale seconded to approve the verbatim and summary minutes of the Park and Recreation Commission meeting dated December 14. 2004. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to O. Stolar: Actually Todd when I moved it to new business, the ChairNice Chair. I was just wondering if we wanted to let our visitors, I was just trying to get so that they could talk first. Hoffman: Sure, that'd be fine. Stolar: Okay. So why don't we, I'm sorry. We']] make the ChairpersonlVice Chairperson after we discuss the public comment, if there are no objections. Okay, seeing none. Let's move then to the discussion of the public comments on the 2005 playground replacement projects. INVITATION FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON 2005 PLAYGROUND REPLACEMENT PROJECTS: A. Chanhassen Hills Park B. Curry Farms Park C. Lake Susan Park D. North Lotus Lake Park E. Rice Marsh Lake Park Hoffman: Thanks Glenn Stolar, and members of the commission and members of the audience here this evening. One year ago in January of 2004 the department completed a safety assessment for 10 wood playground structures located within our park system. These structures 3 '" Park and Rec Commission - January 25, 2005 are, were manufactured by a company out of Delano, Minnesota. Landscape Structures and all of them have been in since around the mid 80' s. Some of them in the early 90' s. I want to give credit for initiating that assessment to our Park Maintenance Division. They're trained in playground inspection and they identified, began to identify a number of significant safety concerns with our older playground structures. New safety guidelines have been implemented and those are typically through the CPSC, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, or the ASTM. The American Society of Testing Materials. Most playgrounds, or all playgrounds manufactured after 1990 and some even later than that no longer comply with safety guidelines, and that is a concern for us at the city. The Park Commission has made it clear that updating park amenities, including playgrounds to current safety guidelines is a top priority. Our city administration, our City Council supported that effort and the 2004 Capital Improvement Program included dollars to replace outdated playgrounds at Lake Ann Park. A new structure that was completed late last fall. And Meadow Green Park, and the picture displayed here this evening was the new playground that was installed at Meadow Green Park. And then a new playground was also installed at Bandimere Community Heights for toddlers aged 2 through 5 to compliment the structure already there. One note, the new playground at Bandimere Community Park will account for a planned removal of a wood play structure at Bandimere Heights Park. The smaller park located directly adjacent to Bandimere Community Park. In 2005 we included the remaining playground replacements necessary in the CIP. Recommended that to the City Council. Those include some remodeling of playgrounds in Minnewashta Heights Park, Carver Beach Park and replacement of playgrounds at Chanhassen Hills Park, Curry Farms Park, Lake Susan Park, North Lotus Lake Park, and Rice Marsh Lake Park. In total the city is investing $670,000 in cash plus labor between the two years in 2004-2005 to upgrade city playgroúnds. And again I just want to commend all of you as a commission and the council and our administration for having the foresight to include those dollars for these replacement projects. It's going to be a very exciting year for the City of Chanhassen. It's residents in the area playgrounds. By the end of this year we will have oh 9, between last year and this year, 9 either updated or completely new playgrounds within our city park system and that's a significant investment. The way we'd like to start this is with public input. One of the best ways to meet the needs of our residents is to ask for their input so prior to us as a commission or staff initiating any details of our plans, we call for neighborhood input. We did include a mailings to each one of these neighborhoods about a half a mile radius from the playground or the park site. Call that meeting here this evening, and so the commission action I would like tonight is that the park commission invite, take formal comments on each park site and take the comments one site at a time so we can keep them organized. And then at conclusion of the formal comments I would suggest that we take a 15 minute recess to engage the audience in some informal conversation about what their desires are at each one of these park sites. Stolar: Great, thank you. Then without objection or further ado I'd like to invite the audience to come up to the microphone and let us know your thoughts on the playground replacement initiative, and if you want to just, I'll just kind of go in sequence here, if you'd like. Are you here for the playground? If you could please state your name and address. Jeff Daniel: Yeah, Jeff Daniel. 1321 Stratton Court, Chanhassen. Right in Curry Farms as well. It's been a long time resident of Chanhassen. Especially recently moved into Curry Farms back in 2000 and having two children at the ages 2 and, well now 2 and 6, the opportunity for the City 4 Park and Rec Commission - January 25,2005 to replace the playground equipment at Curry Farms, which is outdated and some of the pieces on there have had to been actually taken down because of the aging of the equipment. So like I said, looking forward to when that park. The only question I have is, which I'm sure will be explained tonight is the timeframe of when the project will be started and completed. That will be all. Thank you. Stolar: So Todd we'll make sure we']] talk a little bit about that after we hear comment. Thank you. Kris Solie-Johnson: My name is Kris Solie-Johnson and I'm at 6421 Bretton, also in Curry Farms. And I'm really just curious about the different play structures that are being considered. What kind of age groups are they appropriate for and just kind of timeframe and you know, I was just trying to figure out how it all gets installed and what the process is. Stolar: Okay. Thank you Kris. Hoffman: If we could just keep on Curry Farms and complete that so. Stolar: Anybody else for Curry Farms? Matt Jones: My name is Matt Jones. I'm at 1310 Stratton Court and I'm just here because I'd like to do whatever I can to help the process move forward. I'm a new resident to Chanhassen and starting in December, and one of the things that brought me to the city is the good park and rec system that they have. I came from Minneapolis and that was one of the things that we looked, Minneapolis had a strong park and rec program and we thought Chanhassen had a very strong park system. That's something that really drew, brought us here and I'm thankful that the council is taking the time and the initiative and the forethought to start and keep updating the process to make sure that remains a strong core value for the community. So I appreciate it. I'd like to know what I can do to help and I just hopefully will get some more information on that at, throughout the course of the evening. Thank you. Stolar: Anyone else for Curry Farms? Did you want to talk a little bit about Curry Farms then or do you want us to keep taking. Hoffman: Just keep, we']] talk about some of the questions will be similar so. Stolai: Okay. Next. I think we're off of Curry Farms then so Todd, did you have any comments you wanted to make? Okay. Kim Grant: Hi. I'm Kim Grant. I live at 95 Shasta Circle East. I'm for North Lotus Lake Park and that's, I'm mainly interested in also the age group. My children are almost 2 and 4 and I'm interested in making sure there's play area for the 2 year old. Kind of the 2 and 3 year old and then also the older kids. I'm also interested in what the flooring's going to be underneath the play area. Right now it's pea gravel at Lotus Lake and it's just filthy and kids throw it at each other and they eat it and it's, I'd prefer not pea gravel again so. I like the, as you say, kind of has 5 Park and Rec Commission - January 25, 2005 the rubber underneath and I've been to parks like that and it's really nice so. And thank you, I'm very excited. We use the park all the time so thanks. Stolar: Great, thank you. Anyone else for North Lotus Lake? Eric Sellman: Hi, I'm Eric Sellman from 6421 Pleasant Park Drive and we just, I have 3 boys and we use the park almost every day so we're really excited that this change is coming. I'mjust curious about what it's going to look like. I mean my boys are 6 and 4 and 2 and so I would love it if it were geared towards that age, but I think the 6 year old uses it the most so if it were age appropriate to say 6 to 12, that would be I think that'd be the best bet. This park sees a lot of use from soccer teams just use it really heavily in the spring and I think that age group is predominantly 6 to 12 so I think that would be a good fit, and thanks. Marcia Crist: I'm Marcia Crist and I live at 6501 Welsley Court. We actually use all of the parks in Chanhassen but primarily Curry Farms and Lotus Lake, and we've also taken advantage of the park program, the playground program in the summer which has been terrific. So we're interested in all the improvements to the parks and we're really glad you guys are doing this. It's been a great boon to our family. Stolar: Thank you. Any others for North Lotus. Okay, if not. Do you have a comment on a playground? Audience: No, I'm just here to get information. Stolar: Okay, anyone else like to come up? Jo Vicchiollo: Hi, I'm Jo Vicchiollo and we live at 8046 Cheyenne A venue and we use Rice Marsh. Well actually we don't anymore because it's in, it's not a good park for our kids. We have a 3 year old, a 4 year old and 8 year old, all boys so they're pretty rough. We actually take them to Bandimere and I like that park a lot. I like the toddler park and I like the two climbing ones. I think that's a really good example so we'd like to see, I think that's kind of big for Rice Marsh but something along those lines that will appeal to the older kids as well. Thanks. Stolar: Great, thank you. Anybody else want to make a comment? Okay, and there will be time for follow-up questions and then we']] have the informal discussion. So Todd you had a few questions that I think cut across multiple parks. If you want to take some time to talk through that. Hoffman: Absolutely. Be glad to. The idea about process is really going to be a variable one. That's the reason we started this evening. In many new playgrounds, residents choose to install their own playground. If that was the case in any of these, we would work with the residents. Install with the specific manufacturer... If that's not the case, we have two other options. We can have the manufacturer install them or we can have our crews here at the city install. They do that quite often. So the timeframe varies. We're trying to put these in sometime throughout the summer. Often times it falls into the fall, and that's mainly due to our work load schedule that we have so many people on staff. .. .taking care of all the parks and the trails, and so they're 6 ii Park and Rec Commission - January 25, 2005 strained and summer start-up is very busy and then you have more time later on in the summer and fall. You also have to get the design and go through the ordering process which takes a couple of months, so most of these will be installed summer to fall this coming year. And again the process is variable, depending on which way we go. The commission will represent those neighborhoods who don't have an active group that is working. If there's an active group that wants to work on the selection process, the designing process, then the individual neighborhood will do that as well. Age groups is a big question that we have. Typically it's toddler, age 2 to 5 and then the older kids age 6 to 12. You have to have separate playground sites for each one of those age groups so, if we don't have the space or the budget isn't there, we have to select either one. 6 to 12 or the toddler group. As you can imagine, most cases that goes to 6 to 12 group and then the smaller kids ... Surfacing, wé're really leaving pea gravel behind. Glad to hear that. I was a strong advocate for a long time of pea gravel because it was, number one inexpensive and very resilient, but has become contaminated and it packs down and it doesn't provide the resilient surface that you really want on these playgrounds. The number one cause of injuries is fall to the surface in playgrounds and we want to get new surfacing that's as safe as we can get it. Meadow Green and our other neighborhood parks will all go to manufacturer or engineered wood fiber product, similar to what we put in Meadow Green this year. It's plays two roles in one. It's accessible so you have the mandate to provide accessibility to these playgrounds and wood fiber does that. You can traverSe it and it's also less expensive than the other model that we're using and that's the poured in place rubber that you've seen at Bandimere or the new one at Lake Ann. So all of our community parks, Lake Susan is one of the new ones we're putting it in. Will have that poured in place rubber. It adds to the cost but the two new installations this year for that material was just over $30,000 at Lake Ann and Bandimere so it's a very 'expensive, long lasting resilient material so we do that at our really high traffic sites. Our community parks. Neighborhood parks will all be the engineered wood fiber. Other questions that you guys wrote down? Scharfenberg: Do you want to go over the process, what we used last year Todd for picking the 3 sites and how we kind of went through that? Hoffman: The straight manufactured?, Scharfenberg: Yeah, the presentations that we went through. Hoffman: Sure. Yeah, the commission can explain that as well if you'd like. Steve, do you want to go ahead? Scharfenberg: Sure. We had, as Todd indicated, we had Bandimere, Meadow Green and Lake Ann and we had 3 providers come in, or representatives. Market representatives from each of those companies had you know similar products but different things and so I think the staff had presented them with this is the site. This is the area that you're working with. This is kind of what we would see, would like to see at that area and they came up with these presentations for us. These computer drawings of what that would be and we had Jack and myself and Ann and was there, was there 4 of us? So we, they kind of did those presentations and afterwards we kind of ranked them on our own what we thought would be the best fit at those sites. What we liked in the presentation and that's kind of how we chose. We didn't have, I can't remember, there 7 ~ Park and Rec Commission - January 25, 2005 wasn't a whole lot of input from, but I missed that. I was on the back end of that coming in early so I don't know if there was a lot of input from neighborhoods last year. Hoffman: We didn't have a formal meeting like this one. Scharfenberg: Okay, so that's kind of how we chose last year. Stolar: We came up with, I think didn't we come up for each of the manufacturers, some of the key features we wanted to see and that's what was the input into their design. So it would seem to me in this particular process, since we do have such a great showing, that some of those things might be what the neighborhoods do is help develop what are some of the key features within that and then we send it out to bid to manufacturers to say what could you do for, with these features for this project I believe. Kelly: An example of the things that we saw last time was climbing walls. Everyone seemed to have a different, it seemed... that climbing walls were pretty popular, and everyone seemed to have a different kind of a version of a climbing wall. And that was just kind of one feature that differentiated the sites from one another. Hoffman: Each of these sites will include a new concrete border and so we've seen in the past wood border. Plastic and each of these sites will be a poured curb, concrete poured. Just like all the other new ones that are going in. Stolar: For any of these, and this is based on the e-mails we received Todd, do we foresee any changes in locations for any of the playground equipments from where they currently are? Hoffman: Curry Farms, we're going to try to slide a little bit to the north of the path to make more room for the sliding hill. This is modified. Sand volleyball's gone. The trail has been relocated to accommodate some drainage problems. This park has a lot of drainage problems. We moved the ballfield so we can let the swamp go ahead and find it's way there again but we'll slide this in this direction to make way for more sliding hill. Right now they run right into the playground. So we'll try to turn it this way and keep it more in this vicinity. Other than that, the rest of them will remain basically in their same general vicinity. North Lotus is pinned down with the site plan by, here's North Lotus. The parking lot. The hillside. Hillside and then the access path and so this can actually, can only go this direction in kind of this fashion. This went through about 3 phases of expansion. In the city phase I, existing phase IT and phase ill the last time around so all of this equipment will come out and that will be the general area that you'll have the new playground. Chanhassen Hills will remain at about the same location. Lake Susan will be expanded and then Rice Marsh Lake also shows indication of the high water table there so we'll try to address that with the new installation and have some expansion as well. Stolar: Okay. Any follow-up questions from the audience or additional questions? Resident#l: A couple questions. For North Lotus, is that probably a place where only one of the parks would be allowed because the space isn't very large? Where it'd probably just be potentially the 6 to 12 age one. 8 4l Park and Rec Commission - January 25, 2005 Hoffman: Yeah, I don't think we have enough space there for both. We had to find another . location in the park. Resident#l: So then is that an example of the 6 to 12 one or is that a 2 to 5... ? Hoffman: 6 to 12. Resident#l: Okay. And then does each park have a certain budget per park or is each budget the same or the 5 parks that are being put in. Hoffman: They vary from about $60,000 to $90,000. Resident#l: And so when you said $30,000 for Bandimere and Lake Ann, was the installation only? Hoffman: No. That was just the resilient surfacing. The concrete is very, it's expensive. The resilient surfacing. The poured in place is expensive. The wood fiber is less expensive. Resident#l: And that's for the park that's right on the beach at Lake Ann or the one up on the... Hoffman: ...if you haven't seen it, that's a nice playground. Resident#Z: I have another question on the budget then. If more of the neighborhood does installation, is that an opportunity to do, step up in park features? Hoffman: Bonus money, yes. You have probably $7,000 to $8,000. Something like that, depending on the budget you can earn in additional equipment because those labor costs simply can go away. Stolar: Now Todd are you going to be going back out to the neighborhoods asking them if they wanted a formal group to do that and own the process? Hoffman: Yeah, with the mailing list here we'll continue the conversation with each neighborhood and see if there's a design group that wants to work on the playground installation. Stolar: And that will contain some of the information related that we've asked here maybe, and that includes some of the questions and answers so that will be. Hoffman: Good follow-up. Resident#2: So then on Curry Farms, kind of the same question on the Lotus Lake. Is that a one age park or is that a two age park? Hoffman: Probàbly the one, yeah. 9 Park and Rae Commission - January 25, 2005 Resident#l: How do you detennine if it's one or two? Just by the size of the park. Hoffman: Yeah, the size of the park. The North Lotus, we really see as more of a community park almost. North Lotus, Roundhouse because of it's geographic isolation and the large area that it serves, so if we could provide two we probably would. Curry Farms is a more intimate neighborhood park. Little smaller location. So it's kind of how the park acts in our park system. Lake Susan will have both a community park. You see a lot of picnics, company picnics, family gatherings there. It's just a very heavily used area so we want to provide both. Typically the neighborhoods pick the older age stuff because it's a larger span of children there. And they're more likely, just don't have the space for both of them. Years ago you could just put both in one container. You can't do that any longer so that's the problem. The space. Resident#2: And how long does installation take from, til they tear down and put up, so from start to finish. If you're paying someone to do that? Scharfenberg: For example last year I think they started what, Meadow Green first. Meadow Green first and that wasn't completed until late August-September. Something like that. Hoffman: Yeah, the city crews took on all those installations last year. Meadow Green, Lake Ann and Bandimere and probably about a 2 month period inbetweenjobs. And there's some timing that goes along with that. There's other issues to installation... Many times we'll get our installations to take place in May. Resident#3: Who pours the concrete? Hoffman: Yeah, when we get involved, who knows. There's a 3 part approach. The neighbors who provide labor were there with the Bobcats and augers and those type of things because it was quicker and we need to order concrete once they're on site. We mix it on site and get some labor from the neighbors and then we also have representatives from the different manufacturers that are there providing the assistance.. . everybody chips in. Resident#2: So like the size of Curry Farms, how many people is kind of a good number to do the tear down and. Hoffman: Yeah, we'll take it away. The city crews will tear it down and then the set-up would probably be, if you have 20 people there, that's a good number. Resident#2: And take a day then or is it 2 weekends? Hoffman: Probably a couple of days. Resident#2: Throw a big party. Neighborhood party. Hoffman: That's what happens. Sometimes they start on a weeknight. They start on a Friday night and get a variety of the poles set up and then they finish it on a Saturday and believe me there's always clean-up that we can come back and complete but... 10 Park and Rec Commission - January 25, 2005 Resident#2: And I'm sure it has to go through inspection before you plan it. Hoffman: Yeah, you're doing that as you go along and the manufacturer's rep... Stolar: Those are great questions. Any others? Resident#3: I still had a question about the drainage. The little drainage problem at Curry Farms, and it's gotten better with the re-routing of the path, but you're saying the ballfields will move a little bit? Hoffman: It did. Resident#3: It did, okay. And I knew that was part of the issue. And then you don't project anything else where the sand volleyball used to be... Hoffman: Yeah, the right field is sinking... Resident#4: . ..because they have conduit underneath the pad. It's full. Hoffman: Yeah, Curry Farms Park was probably a wetland before it was filled by the developer to turn it over to the city as parks so when we dug up the right field to try to find out what was down there, you could just... If anyone, you were around during that fill operation, we still, it's probably been filled 2-3 times in right field and so we've probably filled that... We give up. It wins. Removed your ballfield. . .it can turn into cattails. The ducks land there when it's wet. Curry Farms grows grass, or when it's dry Curry Farms grows grass like nowhere else. When it's wet, it grows cattails like nowhere else. Stolar: Any other questions? Actually this has been such a great showing and actually we'd invite you, if you have other questions about park and rec in general, ask us as we do this informal discussion and any other'questions about playgrounds but I really appreciate all of you coming up to give us your input and hopefully look forward to you participating in us doing these playgrounds. I know for the commission members, I speak for everyone here, for about 2 years, 3 years Jack, Paula and Tom, we've been wanting to get this done and congratulations to our staff for pushing it with the city and then to the City Council who also took this and ran with it and quite honestly give them credit because they are one year ahead of what we had hoped for, and they pushed it earlier by a year so I want to thank the City Council too. And thank you. So unless there are additional questions, I don't know if the commission wants to just take our break now and meet with everybody. And then we can bring it back. Bring some questions for Todd and Jerry after we adjourn, or re-join. Okay, we're on a temporary recess. The Park and Recreation Commission took a recess to meet informally with the neighbors regarding the 2005 playground replacement projects. Stolar: I was going to say, if the commission members want to have any additional questions on the playgrounds for Todd? Steve? 11 Park and Rec Commission - January 25, 2005 Scharfenberg: Todd, when would you think that the selection process, when, what month or so will we get into that? Hoffman: Probably in March. Scharfenberg: And using the same three manufacturers we've talked to last year? Hoffman: Well we have about 5 of them that were reviewed last year. Scharfenberg: Oh that's right. Hoffman: And then we narrow it down. We'll see who wants to get involved. We have a lot of ways we can go at this. We're purchasing 5 new ones and a lot of times, and I've even talked to some council members about this. You would think if you packaged all 5 of them you'd get a really good deal, but in these playground design processes, what happens is many times a company will shy away from that because they'll say I've got to work awfully hard to put in a ton of money to make 5 designs for an all or nothing deal. Whereas if they say okay, but if the process is, give me 5 designs and you might get 1. 0, 1,2,3, or 5, they say oh that's not a bad investment. I've got a higher chance that I'm going to get at least some return on my investment of time and money. So, and then it runs into, we get into this neighborhood process and they're talking so it's going to be an interesting year of how we set this all up and decide to bring in the representatives. We'll go out to the neighborhoods, you know we'll bring them all back here for confirmation. If a neighborhood is selecting a playground, I would assume you're getting supported unless you see something really odd along so. That's all. Stolar: Paula. Atkins: Yeah I was wondering if you have a good committee of residents, do you need commission members also or is that. Hoffman: We need. ..ifthey're out there working on their behalf, I'll meet with them at their individual meetings and then we'll bring their decision back out to the Park Commission. It's still the city's dollars so you have to make a confirmation and send it onto City Council. Atkins: Were the 3 that were done this year, done by the same manufacturer? Hoffman: We only selected 2. Midwest Playscapes and. Kelly: Little Tykes. Hoffman: Yep, Little Tykes. Kelly: Sorry. Hoffman: Got it first. Ever since they changed their name from Iron Mountain Forge, I just can't say Little Tykes. 12 Park and Rec Commission - January 25, 2005 Atkins: That's all. Kelly: Will the manufacturer actually come to the resident meetings and do what, do similar presentations to what they did for us last year? Hoffman: They sure will. Kelly: I'm assuming we'll be responsible for Lake Susan, since there's no community. Hoffman: Yep. We did do a mailing just to see if that neighborhood to the south would respond. My inclination is that they would not so. Stolar: Jack, why don't you go and then I'll ask my questions because I'm looking something up., Do you have a question? Spizale: Oh no. No. Stolar: So Minnewashta and Carver, we aren't going to do any selection process so there's really no need for community involvement but potentially if they want to be a part of the helping install we'd want them to help that. Or you're just going to take and do that. Hoffman: We're going to either do it with city crews or have it installed by.. .landscape structures people. Stolar: Okay, so it's really only the other 5 that we have to worry about. Lake Susan will be a group from here but we'll invite if neighborhood people want to sit on with us and the selection. Hoffman: Nobody's e-mailed me and nobody's here tonight so it's just, it's really e-mails, the phone calls and then this list, that's how we're going to start these neighborhood groups up and there's nobody yet from Lake Susan that I'm aware of. Stolar: Okay, so we'll be looking for some commission members to do that. Okay. Spizale: Todd, I do have one question. What is the cost when the landscape people do it? What is the average cost? And I know all the set-up's are a little bit different but what is like an average cost of labor. Hoffman: $6,000 to $10,000. Spizale: How much? Hoffman: $6,000 to $10,000. And that's the money you can save. Spizale: And if they do the, if they do do that, is that in the, can that be done in the spring or has that been later or how does that? 13 Park and Rec Commission - January 25, 2005 Hoffman: They can do it any time, yeah. Spizale: So they'd get it in sooner. Hoffman: If they do a neighborhood install or a manufacturer's install, yeah. You can get it in. Spizale: Do it in the spring so they get the fall season. Hoffman: Our crews, we just don't have the time to do it in the spring. We would be late summer or fall. Spizale: I know some other people have asked and that's pretty much the answer I pretty much gave them. Okay. Hoffman: And that often time, with a combination if you can get it in a couple months earlier in the beginning of the play season, and you can save some cash, that often times spurs them on to get, it looks like Curry Farms is already to go. Stolar: Yeah, I think they're actually removing the structure. Spizale: I think as soon as the ground thaws, they're ready. Stolar: Yeah, and you know North Lotus, I was talking with a couple of the people for that too and they think that they can grab a group together so. Just a couple of quick things in the follow- up's based on this. I think a high level time line might be good for just you know that includes some of this discussion that typically we do it in the late summer or fall. That March we']] start sending out the RFI' s, just if we could put a. I don't want to put down like a plan because it's not that firm but just a guide line with the time lines when we get back to these people so they understand the timing. Just a couple of things I was wondering, as we talk about the age group opportunities and the fact that as I walked around I heard most everyone agreeing with what your judgment is that we would, if we only had one we would tend to go to the 6 to 12 because as the kids grow up they're going to want to use that and if you limit yourselfto the 2 to 5, you know if the neighborhood ages or whatever you lose it. I was wondering if it would be helpful though to understand what parts have different age group combinations so that they at least know where they could go if they wanted to go specifically to one and then also any limits. You said North Lotus Lake was a question. Curry Farms was only one, right. That they would only have one so you know these ones, what would be the likelihood and then second of all, what across the other parks have the different age. Is that, I don't want to make anything difficult but.. .because I'd like to see maybe if two parks over or a park over and I can get a 2 to 4 or 2 to. 5, then definitely let's go for the 6 to 12 there because it's not that far to go for a younger one. Scharfenberg: Is Bandimere really the only one that has a lower age group? Hoffman: Lake Ann beach I believe has 2 to 5 age group equipment. Bandimere. And where else? 14 j¡ Park and Rec Commission - January 25, 2005 Stolar: Does Lake Susan, Lake Susan's going to have it. Hoffman: Lake Susan will have it, yeah. Scharfenberg: And then isn't Power Hills scheduled to get. Hoffman: Second phase. Not necessarily a small, smaller groups. When we go to a second phase, they need to choose again and Power Hill, Sugarbush, Roundhouse, those wçre designed back when you could put both structures in a container so there's only one container so you're going to have to stick with the same age group play equipment. In fact I think Pheasant Hill has both age groups in one container. You just have to have separate structures. Then they said no, that's not good enough. Now you've got to separate them. Put a border over here. Border over here. A separation and then sign the two. We can come up with that information. Stolar: Yeah, I mean it might be helpful to show, although I do think as we heard, 6 to 12 seems to be more logical if you only have one choice. Hoffman: Yeah, and what happens is, you start to use up so much money in border and landscaping and layout that you diminish your return on your investments so dramatically and these 2 through 5, you know they tend to be smaller structures and kids that age have more opportunities in their basement and their back yard. Stolar: Plus they always run to the, at least mine do, run to the 6 to 12 stuff anyway. And then one final thing. ADA swings and that type of requirement, are we going to be incorporating that here at all? Hoffman: Yeah, we'll take a look at those. Accessibility, you don't have to have the swing itself. You just have to have accessibility. Having the different bucket type seats is a choice. Stolar: The one thing I found, at least when I was over in Eden Prairie, when we did those you often could just also, because if there was availability, those could be used for smaller kids fairly easily because they have the straps, or at least they did. Then you can then hopefully allow for multiple use. Hoffman: Yep, we'll explore that. And again if you have lots of space for swings, that one's got a pretty good swing layout. But even that layout, you would have to take out one of those swings to put in that accessibility. At least one, maybe two and so that's where you come down to a choice. You used to be able to put 3 swing bays in every swing So you could have 6 swings there and now you can only have 4 and those again are.. .regulations. We went through a tough period in our playground history when we had to go out to every playground swing bar and take out one of the swings and another swing. People were calling us, you're taking down our playgrounds. What's going on? That was all the safety stuff. Stolar: This has been exciting. I'm glad you invited the neighborhood. That just was really nice to happen here. 15 Park and Rec Commission - January 25, 2005 Hoffman: It is exciting, yeah. It's invigorating. I love the process. As a commission, as a community, if we can just put a new playground in a neighborhood and people can wake up the next day with a new playground, but this is much more exciting for the neighborhoods. Stolar: I think so. Hoffman: Brings them together and some park advocacy going on. It's not a bad thing. Stolar: Any final comments? Hoffman: We were compared to the Minneapolis park system. Stolar: Wow, I know. Except we have a parks director. They're still looking. Oh they did? Hoffman: Yep. Ruegemer: Yeah, they named John... Stolar: Great, thank you. Alright, next. APPOINTMENT OF 2005 CHAIRPERSON AND VICE CHAIRPERSON. Hoffman: Any nominations from the floor? Kelly: How about adding Kevin? Stolar: All in favor. Spizale: I'd like to recommend Glenn. I think he's done a great job. I think he's got it down quite pat and that means I don't have to do it. I'd like to nominate Glenn. Hoffman: Second? Scharfenberg: I'll second. Spizale moved, Schañenberg seconded to appoint Glenn Stolar as Chairman for the Park and Recreation Commission for 2005. All voted in favor, except Stolar who abstained, and the motion carried unanimously. Stolar: My only concern is I'm up for reappointment, just like you went through last year with re-question. I am up for reappointment. That would be the only concern I guess I would bring to the table for all of you. Hoffman: They cim work through that. 16 ,;~ CITY OF CHANHASSEN AFFIDAVIT OF MAILING NOTICE STATE OF MINNESOTA) ) ss. COUNTY OF CARVER ) I, Karen J.

'1. 2010 Dear Curry Farms Park Neighbors: The plans for your new playground are scheduled to arrive at City Hall on Tuesday, April 5. I look forward to meeting with you at a special meeting. Wednesday, April 6, 2005 at the Karen and Scott Dewing home 6541 Devonshire Drive 7:00 p.m. I will bring copies of all the proposals for you to review as you select new playground equipment. An additional topic of discussion will be the future location of the new equipment. In the past three weeks, I toured Curry Farms Park with representatives from six playground equipment manufacturers. Although the tours were conducted with each representative individually, it was the consensus of the six representatives that locating the new playground in the same location as the old playground would be a mistake. The elevation and saturated soils found in this location will only exacerbate maintenance challenges associated with wet soils. The two primary concerns are frost heaving and the saturation of the wood fiber resilient surface. The city's Park Superintendent and Park Foreman agree with this assessment. We would like to propose that the new playground be located in one of the few "high and dry" places in the park - the outfield of the existing ball field. This would require the removal of the backstop and aggregate infield area. Sufficient green space to playa game of ball, toss a Frisbee or fly a kite would remain. In addition the sliding hill located near the parking lot would be greatly improved. Please be prepared to discuss this proposal on Wednesday evening. If you get a chance, please take a walk through the park prior to our meeting. Following the neighborhood meeting I will forward your recommendation to the Park and Recreation Commission for their consideration.
