Since 2012, the City of Chanhassen has operated an enhanced program to combat the spread
of aquatic invasive species (AIS). Prioi-to foi7nulating policy relating to the issue of AIS, the
City Council, City Commissions and staff obtained extensive input from the community,
including lake associations and individual citizens, the DNR and watershed districts. The
City conducted a public information meeting regarding Aquatic Invasive Species at the
Chanhassen Recreation Centei-on October 29, 2011. At that meeting, DNR expei-ts and Lake
Association representatives presented infoi7nation. The City's AIS action plan was approved
by the City Council on February 27, 2012 and includes a watercraft inspection prograin, the
incoiporation of updated DNR Best Management Practices (BMP) for water access at the
three City-owned public access points, collaboration with other project partners, public
awareness and education, and the preparation of an annual year-end report to consider future
actions.
Funding partners for the watercraft inspection program include the Riley Purgatory Bluff
Creek Watershed District, Lotus Lake Conservation Alliance, Minnesota Depaz�ment of
Natural Resources, and the City of Chanhassen.
The 2014 Aquatic Invasive Species Program included watercraft inspections at Lake Ann,
Lake Susan and Lotus Lake. Inbound and outbound inspections were conducted by trained
MnDNR inspectors employed by the city through a contract with Volt Workforce Solutions.
Inspectors were on duty at city-owned public water accesses on variable schedules from May
through October. This past boating season, inspectors were on-duty at Lake Ann and Lake
Susan for 739 hours each and at Lotus Lake for 2,315 hours. Lotus Lake waterci•aft
inspections will continue 7 days a week through Novelnber 15.
The results of the City of Chanhassen 2014 Watercraft Inspection prog��am thi-ough October 8

WINTER MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Snowplowing Trails/Sidewalks: Each snow and ice season, the Park Department Maintenance
Division is responsible for clearing snow from 76 miles of public trails, and clearing snow froin �
10 miles of downtown sidewalks, sidewalks and stairways at 10 public buildings, 6 public
parking lots, and 15 parking lots located within parks. �
Upon each snow event greater than one-inch, the park staff reports to work at 4 a.m. Three �,
einployees travel to the Bluff Creek Eleinentaiy School/ Chanhassen Recreation Center to clear �
parking lots and sidewalks prior to the start of the school/rec center business day. Two �'I
employees report to City Hall, the Libraiy, Main Fire Station and City Centei•Park to clear snow '
fi•om parking lots and trails p1-ior to the stai-�of daily activities at each of these facilities. Two
employees will be dispatched to City Hall, the Libraiy, Main Fire Station and Water Treatment
Plant to clear snow fi•om enti-ance sidewalks.
Upon completion of these duties, the Park Maintenance Division meets back at the shop (around
7:30 a.m.) to discuss how the day's work has progressed and then formulates a plan to finish out
the day. In a typical scenario, two employees will transport bobcat skid steers to the downtown
area and begin to clear sidewalks in the downtown and adjoining business parks using attached
v-plows and/o1- snow blowers. Foui• or five employees will initiate the task of clearing the city's
trail system using both v-plows and tractor-mounted snow blowers, depending upon snow depth
and consistency. The crew plowing trails also stops to plow the snow froin neighborhood
skating/hockey rinks as they pass by them on their assigned plow i-oute.
Skating Rinks: The flooding season is
determined by the weather. Flooding i ,i �i�I� y � ��t�

and fi•ost is in the ground. When ,�
temperatures are cold enough, we will •� ` ��.,,�,
flood with two trucks going 24 hours a
day for approximately 10 days. Once the
rinks are open, rinks are swept and
flooded every day.

2014 Park & Trail Fund Capital Improvement Projects
The 2014 Park & Trail Capital Improvement Program (CIP) included eight items,ranging in cost
fi•oin $5,000 to $230,000 and totaling $385,000.
Trees - $15,000: This allocation of dollars is invested in an aimual tree planting progt•am
developed each summer and typically completed in the fall. Parks and public spaces
experiencing tree loss due to damage or disease, or areas that simply would benefit from having
additional nees are selected. This prograin also plants trees in areas with a hi�h concentration of
ash h•ees to mitigate the damages resulting from their impending loss due to emerald ash borer
damage. Lastly, trees donated through the city's Memorial Giving Program are purchased from
this fund.
Picnic Tables/Park Benches - $10,000: These dollars are utilized to purchase new picnic tables
and benches for areas within our parks and public open spaces that cui7ently do not offer seatuig
opportunities or limited seating. These dollars are also used to acquire benches purchased
tlu•ough the city's Memorial Giving Program. ��
Lake Ann Park and Lake Susan Park Boat Access Docks - $5,000 each: Both docks were �I
purchased early in the year and installed last spring. The docks improved the boating experience �
at both landings and were well-received by the public.
Pedestrian Trail to Arboretum, Design and Planning- $25,000: The City has agreed to
permit Caiver County to pursue Transportation Enhanceinent Pi-ogram (TEP) funding for the
Ar•boretuin Trail Connection. This project will include a pedesh•ian underpass at State Highway
41 just south of its intersection with Highway 5. The City of Chanhassen will support this
application. If successful Carver County will be the lead agency on the project. The City dollars
allocated for additional planning will be saved and could be applied to any local funding match
i-equired under a grant award.
City Center Park Improvements (Band Shell Shade Structure) - $45,000: This item did not
have universal suppoi�t and no action towards its completion was taken.
Rec Center Entrance Improvements - $25,000: A new concrete entrance walk and additional
lighting(3 pole mounted LED fixtures) at the front entrance were completed.
Bandimere Community Park Expansion Design and Planning- $25,000: In December of
2013, the City entered into an agreement with WSB & Associates fo1• $7,500 to pei•fonn
professional services associated with Bandimei•e Park eXpansion planning. The work included a
project startup and focus meeting with the commission, asseinbly of base mapping data, Park and
Recreation Commission meeting review, public open house, plan updates and revisions, cost
estimating and presentation of the final site plan to the City Council. At present the proposed
expansion plan includes a multi-sport court,parking lot expansion and stoi7n water element, free
skating and hockey rinks, accoinmodation for a warming house facility, trail ways, and lighting.
Athletic Field Lighting- $230,000: On April 28, City Council reviewed staff's analysis
regarding adding athletic field lighting in the community. The city curi-ently owns and operates
47
seven lighted athletic fields, all at Lake Aiin Community Park. Chanhassen High School also
has three lighted fields (softball, baseball and football).
Of the city's field inventory, we have seven additional city-owned athletic fields that are good
candidates for lighting. These include the baseball field at Lake Susan Community Park and one
softball, two baseball and three soccer fields at Bandimere Community Park.
Cui�ent occupancy rates of available game times in the spring/summer season are 98% Monday
through Friday and 68% on weekends for all sports. Cui7•ent field occupancy rates during the fall
football/soccer/baseball season are 72% Monday through Fr7day and 63% on weekends.
Deinand for gaine tiines during pi•ime time hours of 6-10 pm weekdays is greater than the
availability of field space on an atmual basis. ��
Adding lights to one of our existing fields allows for the opportunity to play an additional 85+
games per summer at an estimated cost of$73.50 per game. The estimated cost to pu1•chase
land, construct and maintain a new ball field is $533 per game. Installing lights on existing
athletic fields is the most economical and efficient manner in which to increase the numbei•of
games that can be played.
Staff proposed the following phased approach for adding athletic field lighting within the
cominunity on city-owned fields:
• Phase I (2016-2018): Install athletic field lights on Bandimere Community Pai•k Softball
#1, Baseball #2, Little League#3 and Soccer#1. This will add 340 games aimually.
• Phase II (2018-2020): Install athletic field lights on Lake Susan Community Park
Baseball Field. This will add 85 games annually.
• Phase III (2020-2022): Install athletic field lights on Bandimere Community Park Soccer
#2 and Soccer #3. This will add 170 games amivally
The Council had concerns about building beyond demand at Bandimei•e Park (adding 340 game
capacity when deinand is half that) and suggested inodifying the phase plan. Council also had
concei-ns regarding over-usage of the fields and requested additional feedback on building a
dome with a tui•f field. An Athletic Field Use and Facility Expansion Study: Cost Benefit
Analysis on Artificial Turf, Lighting, Seasonal Field House Dome, and Expansion of Ball Fields
for Community Park Facilities is cur�•ently underway.
Assessment/Revolving Assessment Fund
The 2014 Assessment/Revolving Assessment Fund included one park and recreation- related
item:
• Tennis Courts - $ 75,000: Four tennis courts at City Center Park and one at Lake Ann
Park were rehabilitated. Two unusable tennis courts at the Chanhassen Recreation Center
were transforined into six pickle ball courts.
General Fund Surplus
The 2014 General Fund Suiplus Fund included one park and recreation-related item:
• Neighborhood Park Picnic Shelter Initiative $100,000: The construction of three new
neighborhood park picnic shelters is underway at Stone Creek Park, Sugarbush Park and
Roundhouse Park.
