Greenwood Shores Park Accessibility; Receive Recommendation of the Park &
Recreation Commission
During the week of August 5, 1997, Ms. Rachel Manteuffel contacted me to inquire about the
lack of reasonable public access to Greenwood Shores Park. Ms. Manteuffel followed up her
telephone inquiry with a written letter dated August 20. This issue was presented to the Park &
Recreation Commission on August 26 (see attached report).
In response to the commission's directive, an individual facility accessibility report for
Greenwood Shores Park was prepared by RSP Architects. On September 23, 1997, Ms. Julee
Quarve-Peterson ofRSP Architects presented her findings to the commission. Her full report is
attached. Following her presentation and upon the conclusion of commissioner discussion that
evening, the following action was taken:
"Commissioner Meger moved, Commissioner Berg seconded to recommend the city
council remove all of the no parking signs currently installed on Utica Lane with the
exception of those required at the curve near the entrance of the park for safety reasons.
Furthermore, that the access area around the gate be widened and surfaced with asphalt.
All voted in favor and the motion carried. "
The commission made this recommendation in lieu of developing a parking area within the
interior of the park as recommended in the accessibility report.
On Tuesday, October 28, 1997, the Park & Recreation Commission held a public hearing on this
recommendation. The minutes from that discussion are attached. Four residents presented their
views and discussed their concerns with the commission. The area of greatest concern is
knowing exactly what portion of the no parking zone would be retained around the curve in front
of the park. A map depicting this delineation is attached.
Mr. Don Ashworth
November 3, 1997

During my site visit with Dave Hempel, Assistant City Engineer, the inside curve and an area 30
feet on either side of the park entrance were identified as necessary no parking zones. The
remainder of Utica Lane in this area will safely accommodate on-street parking.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the Park & Recreation Commission's motion as stated above.

To: City of Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commison
From: Rachel Manteuffel
August 20, 1997
Recently my family and I visited the Greenwood Shores city park. We learned that
there is no parking for disabled individuals. Also, there is no handicapped accessible
entrance into the park, nor is there appropriate access to the beach or picnic facilities.
This presents a difficult situation for disabled persons.
I believe that it is essential for the City of Chanhassen to comply with the Americans
with Disabilities Act and provide accessible parking areas for handicapped
individuals. In addition, the City has a responsibility to provide reasonable access to
the park's picnic and beach facilities for disabled persons.
Thank-you for your attention regarding this matter.
Sincerely,

Thank-you for sending me a copy of the accessibility Inquiry you prepared on
August 20, 1997. I would like to correct a couple of items in the inquiry. During the
week of August 5, my family and I took my grandmother to Greenwood Shores park for
a family gathering and picnic. My grandmother is disabled and had difficulty with
accessibility at the park, not my mother as indicated in your letter. My mother dropped
the family off with our picnic supplies while the rest of the family assisted my
grandmother to the picnic area.
Thanks for your attention regarding this matter, Mr. Hoffman. For the record, could you
please make the corrections as indicated above?

SUBJ:
Accessibility Inquiry, Greenwood Shores Park
During the week of August 5, Rachae1 Manteuffe1, a Chanhassen resident, contacted me
to inquire about the lack of reasonable public access to Greenwood Shores Park. Ms.
Mant~uffel explained that she enjoys visiting the park with her mother who is
uncomfortable walking the extended distance from the park to the nearest available
parking. From the entrance to the park, it is an additional 300 feet to the beach. The
streets in the area of the park are signed "No Parking" fora distance of600 feet in all
directions. To access the park, Ms. Manteuffe1 drops her mother and their picnic
belongings off at the park entrance prior to parking her car and re-joining her mother.
This situation does not meet the intent of Federal American with Disabilities (ADA)
legislation, and again raises the question of what constitutes reasonable access (for
vehicles) to a public facility.
This issue as it relates to Greenwood Shores Park was debated extensively from 1987 to
1989. At that time the neighborhood successfully lobbied the City Council to reject a
plan to install 4 off-street parking stalls by a 3 to 2 vote. This action was taken prior to
the Americans with Disabilities Act. The City has the obligation to comply with this
legislation.
Ms. l\'1anteuffel has discussed her concerns with officials of the State of Minnesota. It
was their position that if the park is currently out of compliance, a plan must be put in
place to provide accessibility.
Recommendation
It is recommended the Park and Recreation Commission appoint an accessibility
consultant to prepare a feasibility report detailing the necessary steps to bring Greenwood
Shores Park in compliance with the American with Disabilities Act.

Dear Resident:
On September 16, 1997, the City of Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission received an
individual facility accessibility report for Greenwood Shores Park. The commission ordered this
report on August 26th after reviewing a citizen complaint over the lack of reasonable public access
to Greenwood Shores Park. The findings of the report include:
Parking
Stripe to provide a stall that is an appropriate width for van parking.
provide a permanent upright sign identifying the accessible parking stall, plus a "Van
Accessible" sign.
provide a sign indicating the access aisle.
Picnic Areas
Picnic Tables
provide a minimum of one accessible picnic table.
Provide an accessible path of travel (asphalt or concrete) leading to one of the picnic tables.
Provide an accessible picnic table with appropriate knee clearance.
Provide an accessible clear area around the picnic tables.
Provide a level, firm (asphalt or concrete) surface at the picnic tables.
Picnic Areas
Grills
provide a minimum of one accessible grill.
Provide an accessible path of travel (asphalt or concrete) leading to the grill.
Provide accessible clear ground space surrounding the grill.
Provide a grill positioned at an appropriate height.
Dock
Provide an accessible path of travel to the dock (concrete, wood, plastic decking, mats, etc.)
Beach Access
Provide an accessible path of travel to the water's edge (concrete, wood, plastic decking,
mats, etc.)
Greenwood Shore Neighborhood Letter

Portable Toilet Facility
Provide an accessible portable toilet facility.
Provide an accessible path of travel leading to the portable toilet facility.
Upon reviewing the finding of the accessibility report, the commission took the following action:
"Commissioner Meger moved, Commissioner Berg seconded to recommend the city
council remove all of the no parking signs currently installed on Utica Lane with the
exception of those required at the curve near the entrance of the park for safety reasons.
Furthermore, that the access area around the gate be widened and surfaced with asphalt.
All voted in favor and the motion carried."
The commission made this recommendation in lieu of developing a parking area within the interior
of the park as recommended in the accessibility report (see attached diagram)
The Park and Recreation Commission will accept public comment regarding their decision at their
October 28th meeting. The meeting starts at 7:30 p.m., in the City Council Chambers. After this
meeting, the Park and Recreation Commission will forward their recommendation to the City
Council.
If you have any questions in this regard, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Todd Hoffman
Director of Park and Recreation
