RECOMMENDATION
Staff's only trepidation in recommending that these facilities be constructed on this site
revolve around its secluded nature. The site is severed from the main entrance of the park by
a "bottleneck." It should be noted that the entire design of this park is a "shoebox" fit. Very
little street frontage was acquired for the park at the time this subdivision was platted. As
such, all of the existing improvements at the park are positioned in rear yards. Whether or
not the city should continue with this practice is a judgement call best left to the commission.
Your site visit on Tuesday night will allow you to view first hand what is difficult to describe
in written word. Staff awaits the direction of the commission in this regard.

Comments regarding Power Hill Park Facility Request/Feedback
Request for Basketball Facility (Page 2): An additional request for a sand volleyball court
was referenced and will be included as a component of this request.
High Demand for all Around Recreation Facility (Page 3): Lake Susan Hills West
neighborhood (Powers to Audubon) is also serviced by Sunset Ridge Park. This park,
although further developed than Power Hill Park, is also not complete.
All season sport (Page 5): 3 season sport. (Minnesotans are tough-but not that tough!)
$309,600 Park Assessments ($1200 hse) (Page 5): Park dedication fees for Lake Susan
Hills West are collected at 50% of full rate. At present, this equates to $450 per household.
Initial phases of development were assessed at a rate of $212.50 per household. The park
dedication fee has since been raised annually or semi-annually to the present rate. At an
average rate of $350 per home, approximately $90,000 in park dedication fees (based on the
258 houses referenced) have been collected from this neighborhood.
In Lieu of Tennis Courts (Page 5): A tennis court was shown on the original concept
master plan for this park. A policy decision by the commission later removed a tennis court
from the plan. Money was never allocated in the city's capital improvement program for a
tennis court.
Plenty of Space on Hilltop (Page 8): One area exists at the top of Power Hill Park for the
construction of a basketball court and volleyball court. "Plenty" in this context describes an
area of approximately 100' x 200' in size which was graded flat during initial development.
This area can accommodate the facilities requested.
Positive attributes of site: Relatively level, access available from the park entrance road.
Negative attributes of site: Surrounded by residential lots (rear yards), site is somewhat
secluded.
No Tennis Courts (Page 12): Previously addressed.
Mostly Weeds (Page 12): See response from Dale Gregory, Park Superintendent.
Poor Surface (Page 12): See response from Mike Wegler, Street Superintendent.
20 ft. tall & 10 in. (Page 12): (Circumference) Trees were acquired as a donation, city paid
moving costs.
Mud Hole (Page 12): The "hole" for the playground was excavated at the time of final
grading and seeding. This was done in anticipation of the future installation of play
equipment. With this work being done, major earthwork/excavation will not be necessary
prior to the equipment going in this summer.
No Feedback (Page 12): The letter referenced was received from Ed and Mary Kraft, 8711
Flamingo Drive on December 22, 1993 (see attached). The letter was included in the
administrative section of the Commission's packet on January 25, 1994. I recall phone
conversations with the Krafts regarding their interests/concerns. I apologize for not
responding in writing to this inquiry.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Todd Hoffman, Park and Recreation Director
FROM: Dale Gregory, Park Superintendent
DATE: March 2, 1995
SUBJECT: Power Hill Seeding
Power Hill was finish graded in the summer of 1923 with grass seeding taking place in the
fall of 1993. Soil samples of the park indicategthe>soil was lacking nutrients to establish a
good stand of grass. A starter fertilizer was lics.ed afJhe same time of seeding to correct this
problem. In the summer of 1994, the seed ""as not growing very well, therefore, we slit
seeded the park with an all purpose grass se~d. This. &eed is the same grass seed used in all
neighborhood parks. At this point we alssiihcluded Po~er Hill Park in our fertilization
program consisting of three applications .fl,year. The fertilization process can take as long as
five years to bring the soil nutrients ba~~ to the level they should be. Along with the
fertilization program, we also need ag~quate rain fall to establish a good stand of grass.
If you have any other question~ircgarding the seeding at Power Hill, feel free to contact me.

FROM:
DATE: March 20, 1995
SUBJECT: Construction of Power Hill Parking Lot
To keep the cost down in the park budget, the cc)~struction of Power Hill parking lot was
done in-house by maintenance and park personl!~l.iWe have done much of the construction
in many of the parks within Chanhassen. This.pas~flved the residents of Chanhassen a
substantial amount of money. The equipmenti'!lsed t)y our maintenance department is older
and the quality of workmanship suffers beca:Q~e of this. The Power Hill parking lot does .
have small vibration marks in the surface.]}1ese marks are caused by the packer, which is
very small for this type of project, but the..marks should not affect the longevity of the
parking lot. We have a larger packer approved in the r~~5 budget which we should have
later this year. The larger packer shoulgitake care of thi~type of problem in any future
projects. I was not real happy with e finished surface of this parking lot either, but
considering the amount of mone~ii.. ved, the project was e~pnomical, the final result
satisfactory, and the parking 10 ill be serviceable for marty..years.

Todd Hoffman, Park Board, To Whom It may Concern,
After living in our new residence for just over one year we
continue to be enthusiastic about our new home, Chanhassen, and the
"possibilities" of our neighborhood parks. We live just across
from the Power Hill Park. This was a key ingredient in our
decision to move to Chanhassen and to this location.
One concern we have is that, to our knowledge, there is nothing
planned for kids as they mature. At least from my perspective, a
basketball court is desperately needed.
I have 4 boys aged 6 to 11 and there are numerous other kids in the
neighborhood, both boys and girls, who would take advantage of
basketball facilities. These are also facilities which, I'm sure,
would be shared with the adult population base.
We have to have a vision in our planning such that the necessary
facilities will be available when the age base demands it. I.E. by
the time the budget permits a toddler play area, many of the kids
will have outgrown the need. The toddler age bracket is one which
is also easier to satisfy right in ones own back yard more readily.
Our neighborhood has a more difficult challenge in satisfying
basketball facilities than normal. Being on a large hill with
mostly sloping driveways prevents safe use of personal basketball
facilities (balls in street).
I have been approached by several neighbors who suggested donating
a portion of neighborhood adjoining property and sharing the cost
of installing a basketball court. While initially this seemed like
a good solution I have three primary objections.
1) Liability. In today's "suit happy environment" it would
place an unacceptable burden on the property owners. From
my perspective, this alone eliminates this as an option for
consideration.
2) Cost. Plans for park facilities were a major selling point
when we purchased our new home. It would be unfair to have
RECEi yr::D
,!! f'. \, '/" '\0(\ 'j'
~) ~-'.. ~___ 1:. - oJ':';
C!IY Of CH!\~~H/\S:;E.;'{
to incur the additional cost burden when these facilities
should already be in the plans and are represented in the
property tax base.
3) Space. The size of lots are becoming more and more limited.
To help control this as a society, we need to be more
dependent on community facilities. This was planned into
our neighborhood, now we need appropriate actions taken to
make it happen.
The Power Hill park has a perfect area for basketball facilities.
This is where we need the Park Board to take action in a leadership
role.
If cost is a concern in the short term, I'd suggest installing
poles and baskets on the existing parking lot as an interim
solution. We need basketball facilities much more than we need a
parking lot at the current time i.e. the hill has been blocked for
sliding purposes (which is another cause of disappointment). I'd
personally even be willing to lead a neighborhood effort to install
them if that will help reduce labor costs.
If we are to give our kids a fair chance, keep them occupied, and
therefore productive and out of trouble we must provide facilities
such as this. It is a much preferred solution to incurring
significant cost of controlling crime and rehabilitation type
programs. I speak from experience, we moved from Brooklyn Park and
this type of environment.
Please confirm receipt of this letter, inform us of planned
directions, and let us know how we can participate to insure badly
needed basketball facilities are installed at Power Hill Park.
Sincerely,
Ed & Mary Kraft

Re: Lighting for Little League Field.
Dear Todd,
It was nice talking with you regarding the proposed lighting of your
Little League facility. It is my understanding that the program
is not a sanctioned Little League. The only reason that this has
importance is that there are special programs available to sanctioned
Little Leagues which are available by National Little League. Other-
wise, all lighting criteria would be the same for sanctioned or
non-sanctioned programs. I would recommend lighting the field to
the same requirements directed by Little League. This would be for
50 footcandles of lighting on the infield and 30 footcandles of
lighting on the outfield. It would also include the use of steel POI.
rather then wood poles.
I would recommend lighting the field using the !'fusco Light-Structure
system. This would provide for years of maintenance-free operation.
The Light-Structure is backed by a 7 year warranty on equipment and
a 2 year warranty on lamps. The Light-Structure is a factory assembled,
factory wired and factory aimed lighting system. I have provided
costs for a turnkey installation. Hmvever, if some or all of the
installation can be done with volunteer help, I would reduce that
portion of the project.
The cost of lighting, steel poles, installation and underground elect-
rical system for lighting the field to 50 footcandles infield and
30 footcandles outfield is $40,424. An alternate would be to light
the field to 30 footcandles infield and 20 footcandles outfield. This
would be a turnkey cost of $33,550. However, it must be noted that
National Little League will only approved new fields lit to 50 footcand-
les infield and 30 footcandles outfield. This could come into play
if the league ever wants to be sanctioned by National Little League.
I am also enclosing the Guidelines for Little Leaque Ballfield Liqhtinq.
This contains excellent information on ball field lighting. Please
feel free to call if you have any questions.

STAFF REPORT
PROPOSAL:
Rezoning request to rezone 16.34 acres of property zoned RR, Rural
Residential to RSF, Residential Single Family; Preliminary Plat of 16.34 acres
into 19 Single Family Lots; and a Variance to Allow a 50 ft. wide Right-of-
Way
LOCATION:
South on Lake Lucy Road (1471)
APPLICANT:
Michael Byrne
5428 Kimberly Road
Minnetonka, MN 55435
Coffin & Gronberg
482 Tamarack Avenue
Long Lake, MN 55356
PRESENT ZONING:
RR, Rural Residential
ADJACENT ZONING
AND LAND USE:
N . Lake Lucy Road
S - RR (Lake Lucy Peninsula)
E - RSF, Residential Single Family
W - RR, Rural Residential
COMPREHENSIVE PARK PLAN:
The Recreation Section of the Comprehensive Plan identifies this site as lying within the park service
areas of Curry Farms and Pheasant Hill neighborhood parks.
COMPREHENSIVE TRAIL PLAN:
Lake Lucy Road is identified as a trail route in the City's Comprehensive Plan. A major
reconstruction of Lake Lucy Road was completed in 1986/87. Prior to the commencement of work,
however, a lengthy debate over the type of trail (on-street vs. off-street) to be included in the project
was entertained. As commissioners are aware, the trail component of the road was installed as on-
street bike/walk shoulders.
,
Point Lake Lucy West
March 28, 1995
Page 2
.
These extended shoulders lie on both sides of the road and are separated from the traffic lanes
by a painted white line. Signage and additional symbols painted on the asphalt surface assist
in the identification of this trail route. Time has proven this approach to be satisfactory for
adult bikers and walkers; however, user groups who by their nature (children, families,
elderly) have less control over their environment are at times intimidated by it. I bring these
opinions to your attention to solidify the commission's present position of advocating off-
street trail systems. With an eye to the future, I asked the city engineer if an on-street trail
was to be constructed, would additional right-of-way be required. He informed me that as a
part of the platting of any "new" subdivision's, sufficient right-of-way is being set aside to
accommodate any future public improvements. An off-street trail could be among these.
RECOMMENDATION
In light of the aforementioned information, it is recommended that the Park and Recreation
Commission recommend the City Council require the following condition of approval in
regard to parks and recreation for Point Lake Lucy West:
1. Full park and trail fees be paid per city ordinance in lieu of any land dedication and/or
trail construction.

February Festival Evaluation
Winter Diving Demo: Dive Shop VI did a gr b demonstrating techniques and
answering questions. People seemed to flock ~oug their demonstration. They did not
charge any fee for the demo and it was a fun~aditi9P to the event. A diving demo would be
fun again either by Dive Shop VI or by the arver unty Water Patrol who also expressed
interest.

Ice Fishing Con fishing contest was a major component aga year. The
first problem was to fin n7~~gg~.cg;~~~ization to sponsor the i g)contest. The
Chanhassen Chamber committed to sponsori tanG ed the day. The
application process was long and full of red IS process delayed the printing of the
tickets which were out on the streets later th cipated. The Chamber has agreed to
sponsor the tournament again next year and pplication process will start in November.
The fishing area was enlarged and 1500 holes were pre-drilled. The layout seemed to flow
very well this year. The configuration of the prize board facing the prize table worked well.
Mr. Todd Hoffman
March 22, 1995
Page 2
.
Recommendations for 1996:
Have fish results sheets ready to fill in after the contest for the prize giveaways.
Have a speaker somewhere in the middle of the contest allowing people to hear results.
Consider eliminating individual fish categories and go top 1-25.
Keep prizes around the same amount of $6,500.
Dog Sled Demonstration: People enjoyed interacting with the dogs and listening to
information given about the dogs. I would recommend keeping the dogs as far away from the
fishing contest as possible so the people fishing won't be bothered by the dog activity. I
would consider Moon Shadow Kennels again as well as look to other dog sled companies.
Open Skating: For the second year in a row, skating conditions have not been good as the
warm weather destroyed the ice. The maintenance department did a fantastic job putting the
trees and twinkle lights in for decoration. The rink should be tried again next year.
Bon Fire: The bon fire should be started by at least 2:00 p.m. It took a while for the fire to
start. There was a lot of water around the base of the fire and maybe we could build up
around the fue so people wouldn't be standing in deep water.
S'mores Cookout: The Chanhassen Elementary School Student Council did a great job
again this year making the s'mores. They were super organized and were a great addition to
our event.
.
Fireworks Display: I heard many comments from people who thought the fireworks display
was wonderful. A lot of people watched the fireworks from their decks, cars and all areas of
the city. The performance went off without a hitch.
Snow Sculpture Contest: Lack of snow prohibited this event from going.
Shuttle Bus Service: A record number of passengers (1,142) rode the shuttle bus this year.
Southwest Transit and Tom Juhnke did a great job of coordinating the shuttle service. One
suggestion is to announce the shuttle hours more frequently. Southwest indicated they would
love to provide the service again next year.
The second annual February Festival was another successful event. With the unseasonably
warm weather, an estimated 1,500+ people attended. It is my recommendation that any
activities after the fueworks be eliminated next year. The past two years after the fueworks
virtually everyone left the event to go home. Also, with the warm weather, the moonlight
skiing and skating rink were in no condition to be used. All the rest of the events appear to
be well-received, making February Festival another fun community event.

3. Highway 5 Northern Access Boulev d Cross your fingers! With a little luck the
city will be entering into a cooperative; eement to build the first section of this
roadway. This section would "pick up" at the intersection of West 78th Street and
Powers Boulevard and travel west to Lake Ann Park. This will allow the existing
Highway 5 access to be closed. Construction may commence later this year; however,
it is more likely that the project will be initiated in 1996.

4. Speaking Engagement, Chanhassen Rotary Meeting, March 15, 1995: Wade
Wacholz of the Chanhassen Rotary invited me to speak to the Rotary regarding the
commission's discussion of open space preservation. The message was well-received
and the Rotary seemed receptive to the idea.
5. Annual Park Inventory: Many of the Park and Recreation Department full time staff
members will be conducting the city's annual park inventory on April 10 and 11,
1995. The goals of the inventory are:
a. Update the annual park inventory manual;
b. Discuss relevant 1995 capital improvement projects;
c. Discuss other needed and/or future projects;
d. Visualize the future.
A site visit is made to each of Chanhassen's parks during this inventory.
6.
1995-The Year of Big Projects: 1995 is bringing with it many progressive projects,
i.e. proposed park acquisition and development referendum, the opening of the
Chanhassen Recreation Center, the completion of the Comprehensive Plan update, the
hiring of two new full time Park Department employees (one park maintenance heavy
equipment operator and one downtown maintenance person). In addition to these
items, planning for the city's Centennial Celebration has kicked in to full gear.
Chanhassen's 100th birthday will be celebrated throughout 1996.

7. 1995 Minnesota Recreation and Park Association State Conference: The MRP A
annual state conference will be held in St. Cloud, Minnesota on November 1, 2 and 3,
1995. Both Dawn Lemme and Jerry Ruegemer will be assisting the MRPA in
planning social activities at the conference (both are St. Cloud alums). Cindy S.
Walsh of Arden Hills and I will be acting as co-chairs for the conference. Please
check your calendars for availability on any of those days.
8. West Lake Minnewashta Park Acquisition Effort, Harstad Companies: Approval
of a preliminary and final plat of The Oaks at Minnewashta, a Harstad Company
project, seems imminent. Recent negotiations with Harstad Companies have assured
that the park, as located by the Park and Recreation Commission, will be a component
of this plat.
9. Potential Stockdale Neighborhood Park Acquisition: Mr. Stockdale did take the
opportunity to stop by my office within the past two weeks. He assures me that our
acquisition efforts are not in vane; however, a personal dilemma has not allowed him
to devote his attention to this possible land sale.

Re: Proposed Liquid Waste Disposal Site -
Dear Mr. Hermes:
.
I have had the opportunity to circulate yo....,..',..,..u...",..r recent lette.'.'.r... and sketch regarding opening a liquid
waste disposal site in Chanhassen tOA~ppropriate dtX staff for conceptual comments and
feedback. The general response am~,~~t'staff was rese~~d. Both the City Manager and Park
Director raised concerns regarding J,~is proposed locatioq:,in relation to a major trail corridor
which will be located along the e~~fsrde of Park Place andf~~tended north under Trunk Highway
5 to Lake Ann Park and othe~'i~itf trail corridors. There ~~.. also plans for development of the
open space in this area fora,',Cfty park. Concerns were alsBiraised regarding potential leakage
or spill into the a~l,~~~p:~I~nd~rea. It ""ould be safe ay that the site will have some
challenges to try ana;)f~solve'to;,bbtaitf;'aPProYal
At this point it is' It for staff to give more of a de Imtlve revl.N.",Ppinion without
more detailed information. fth,~~!:t~~~olitan Council Waste Wate~~~~~~~siwishes to continue

analysis can then be made. However, ther~-is no guarantee that this site location will be
approved.
I wish to make one point of clarification regarding your letter which indicates that the MCWS

RE: Hennepin County Bicycle Transportation Plan
Dear Mr. Hoffman:
Hennepin County is beginning the development of a county-wide bicycle
transportation plan aimed at clarifying our role in the planning, design, and
construction of bike accommodations. I would appreciate your assistance in
providing information for this process and I would like to hear any comments
or insights you have regarding how the County's efforts could best supplement .
your local bike initiatives.
We currently believe there is a need to examine ways of linking your local
bikeway system to an overall regional "backbone" bike transportation system
which would serve travel needs beyond your City's boundaries. To this end,
the County has been supporting planning efforts of a number of organizations
which can later to incorporated into our final document. We are currently
involved with bike planning efforts that are underway at the University of
Minnesota, Minneapolis, St. Louis Park, in the northwestern portion of
Hennepin County with the Northwest Hennepin League of Cities and at a number
of locations elsewhere in the County.
The inventory of existing bike path and trail facilities such as yours will be
used to develop a draft base map which identifies the existing and planned
backbone system and links which may be missing. Once the map is produced, we
would like to discuss our findings with you and interested residents of your
city.
We will keep you informed and involved as our planning process continues. At
appropriate times during the study, a newsletter will summarize our progress
and project status. An open house or forum will be hel d duri ng the pl an
development to offer opportunities for review and comments on our findings.

We have retained the consulting firm of Barton-Aschman Associates to assist us
with the bicycle plan. Barry Warner is the project manager for the firm. The
Barton-Aschman team also includes two sub-consultants, Suzan Pinsof and Tim
Springer. Although the County staff is handling much of the coordination
during the plan, we would appreciate your cooperation if our consultants need
to contact you directly.
We are particularly interested in any information from your city related to
existing, planned or desired bike facilities especially those which might have
regional significance. Any additional background you could provide concerning
the locations of major activity centers (schools, parks and commercial areas)
or typical bike trip origins and destinations would be helpful.
I am enclosing some background information on our plan including the study
scope and some brochures which give a brief synopsis of the plan. Please
circulate the brochure among your city staff for review and comments and if
possible also make some available to residents who may be visiting your
offices. I can provide you with additional brochures if needed.
Thank you for your assistance. I will keep you informed of our progress in
the months ahead.

SCOPE OF SERVICES

PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Hennepin County Bicycle Transportation Plan is being undertaken to address what the
County's role should be in providing bike planning services and in deSigning and constructing
bike accommodations. The County believes that there is a need to establish a safe,
convenient bicycle transportation system throughout the County.
There is a need for an overail plan to address ways to connect municipal loop trail systems,
regionai park trails. and state trail facilities to major activity centers such as public
facilities. schools. and commercIal areas. The County is in a unique position to accommodate
biCYCle transportation by utilizin~ ItS extensive roadway facilities and li~ht rail transit
:omciors which provIde routes across CltV lines. The County is the level of jurisdiction that
:5 best able to provide ior a 'primary or trunk-type bicycle transportation system.
Traciitionally, Hennepin County has had a very limited role in bicycle planning and
construction. The role has included the signing and striping of certain County roadways as
designated bike routes. Bike paths have been included as part of proposed new projects, and
the County has budgeted some funds to assist municipalities with construction. However,
maintenance has bp.t:!n a responsibility of the individual cities.
.
The plan must be cOn1;J:-ehensive and integrate County, municipal, park, and state facilities.
It needs to provide an '-lverall unified vision of how to accommodate the transportation needs
of bicyclists. The bikeway plan will help guide decisions for accommodating bike travel and
provide a systematic approach rather than reacting to isolated case-by-case project needs.
The pian needs to include a variety oi important elements:
· Recommendations for any necessary changes to the traditional description of the
County role. the historical context of the County's role in bicycle planning, and
actions aimed at achieving goals and objectives. Primary agency responsibilities need
to be identified.
· A provision to actively obtain public input and participation concerning the direction
for County involvement. plan Contents. and philosophy.
· .-\n accurate inventory of bikeway designations on the County road system and
information on the bicycle trail syStems adapted b;.-' individual municipalities and by
Hennepin Parks.

Dear Phyllis:
Thank you for your note. The city would be plsi~ed to install an additional blue bird house
at Chanhassen Pond Park. The care you afforq,tHsblue birds and their houses at the pond is
to be commended. The park staff was a bene~ictd~;pf your caretaking while conducting our
annual park inventory last April. Standing o~:the h~~, very near to the site of the new house .
we watched 3 or 4 blue birds vie for territory; It wa~;a beautiful sight!
Look for the house to go up within the n~~t month.

Chanhassen Elementary School Student Council
c/o Ms. Kitty Sitter and Ms. Fran Hile
7600 Laredo Drive
Chanhassen, MN 55317
Dear Council Members:
Thank you for hosting me at your meeting of ~ Wary 21, 1995. I enjoyed having the
opportunity to speak with you. Your long lis~)gf iqyas for helping manage Chanhassen Pond
Park is an indication of your enthusiasm in t~ng on this project. Below please find a
tabulation of your ideas and my response to..each. P!yase note that your lists were condensed
to avoid duplication of similar ideas. Y ouYvill also r1gte that those ideas which can be
carried out by students are highlighted witlian asterisIq
*1. Pick Up Trash: I encourage/~~ch classroom t09~ganize a field trip to Chanhassen
Pond Park this spring. Trash/clean-up should be ~!!cluded as one activity of each trip.
2. Install "No Littering':/~igns, Install "Pick-up Aft~r Your Pet" Signs,
Install Signs wit~i~;)rk Rules: Park rule signs are~~cated at each
entrance to the ark (see attached map). The rules listed on each sign are:
Park Hours: 6 a.m. . p.m.
Ic:IesRestrlcted to Roadways and Parking Areas Only
..' Glass Containers Prohibited
Alcoholic BeveragesR.tstrlttect ~~nned JJee~pnly .' .
No Pets Allowed}!;
Snowmobiling on Designated Trails Only
Help Keep Your Parks Clean, Please Not Litter
3.
Add Trash Cans: Trash cans are not currently maintained at the park. I will discuss
locating a trash receptacle at each entrance to the park with Dale Gregory our Park
Superintendent. If Mr. Gregory also believes that this is appropriate, he will have the
trash receptacles put in place.
Chanhassen Elementary School Student Council
March 6, 1995
Page 2
.
4. Install Recycle Bins: Currently all trash collected from city parks is separated at our
central collection point and recycled. However, for ease of operation, recycle
containers may be purchased in the future.
5. Construct a New Bridge: The existing bridges were constructed by local boy scouts
as Eagle Scout Projects. The bridges are weathered and aging, but remain in sound
condition. The main bridge will eventually be replaced with a wider and much
stronger bridge capable of holding a pick-up truck. This future replacement project
will cost approximately $15,000. Other future improvements will include widening
and blacktopping of the main trail from Laredo Drive to Sierra Trail.
6. Install Fences: Fencing detracts from the overall beauty of our parks. However, if
some form of permanent separation between public and private properties is necessary,
fencing is often installed.
7.
Install Rocks in Erosion Areas: Several large erosion areas do exist within
Chanhassen Pond Park. Erosion intensifies the pollution of the pond through increased
water runoff. This excessive runoff carries high levels of nutrients and sediments into
the pond. The city's Surface Water Management Plan has been developed to help stop
this type of pollution. Look for improved management of storm water runoff entering
the park over the next two summers.
.
8. Install Wood Chips on the Trail: The majority of rain water entering the pond must
cross the trail on its way to the pond. Wood chips would be carried by the water flow
into the pond.
9. Mow Grass: The city mows the trail and entry ways to the park. The remainder of
the park is intentionally left to grow naturally.
10. Install Picnic Tables: Two picnic tables were installed along Kerber Boulevard
overlooking the park. Other acceptable picnic areas offering convenient access and
groomed turf (mowed) are not available within the park's interior.
11. Need Warming Shelters for Skating: Many residents use the ponds in their
neighborhood for skating each winter (an estimated 20 to 30 each year). The city is
unable to provide warming houses for each of these locations.
*12. Plant Flowers, Plant Seeds, Plant Tree: Planting trees offers the best return on our
investment. Ms. Sitter and Ms. Hile are organizing a spring tree planting project with
the help of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MnDNR). The tentative
project date is Saturday, April 29.

13. Feed Animals: Wildlife management in public park systems does not typically
include wildlife feeding programs. The vegetation found in the park offers a wide
variety of natural food sources for the birds and animals who live there.
*14. Install Bird Houses: Blue bird and wood duck houses are maintained within the
park. These houses mimic the birds natural nesting locations-typically old trees for
wood ducks and old fence posts for blue birds. These artificial nesting boxes are
necessary since the majority of the old trees and fence posts once found in Chanhassen
have been removed. If the school has access to nesting houses which they could
donate, the city would be happy to place them within the park.
15. Rake Leaves: All the leaves which fall in Chanhassen Pond Park are left undisturbed.
Decaying leaves are an important part of the natural life cycle found at Chanhassen
Pond Park.
*16. Submit Articles to the Villager Reminding People of Rules: This type of
reinforcement of rules which our society must follow is invaluable. Classes should
again consider writing letters to the editor after completing their field trips to the park.
17.
Clean the Water, Keep Oil Out of the Water: Again, the city's Surface Water
Management Program is working towards cleaning up the city's water resources.
Some elementary students may have participated in the signing of storm water catch
basins throughout the city. These signs, which were spray painted on the street covers
of the storm water system, remind people not to dump oil or other pollutants into this
system.
*18. Conduct an Animal Object Survey, Look at Leaves: These educational projects can
be carried out during your field trips to the park.
Again, thank you for your interest in Chanhassen Pond Park. Your partnership in maintaining
and managing this natural resource is to be commended. I look forward to working with you
this spring. Please contact me if I can be of any further assistance.
Sincerely,

Next Meeting Sunday, March 12, 1995 5:30 pm
Remember CEA Workshop 2-5 pm- 3/12. Dr. Dale Blyth of Search Institute speaks 2-3pm about
results of survey given to District 112 students in grades 6, 7, 8, 10, and 11.
YC meeting at Jeanne's. 454 Ridge Court, Chaska. (1 block NE of Community Center)
The meeting was brought to order at 7: 10 by Chairperson Lori Wellens. Those present included
Susan Hurm, Bert Mueller, Kathy Wellens, David Kocka, Phyllis Lindstrand, Lori Wellens, Jason
Thompson, Matt Kearney, Kristin Jendro, Pat Donnay, Dr. O'Connell & Jeanne Straus. Christina
Osbern also attended. Attendance question was ?
The agenda was reviewed and approved as typed.
The minutes were reviewed. MotionlKocka, Secondffhompson to approve the minutes. Motion
passed.
Thanks to Kathy and ? for bringing pop, crackers, snacks.
Old Bwdness
1) Dr. O'Connell, CHS Principal, fielded several questions from YC youth members.
a) What are the pro's and con's of weighted grades. Response: No schools in the Lake
Conference currently use weighted grades. Draw backs: Who determines the weightedness of
classes? Is a relative issue. Grading systems actually vary from teacher to teacher. Weighted
grade often encourage less effort if a B in an advance placement class is treated as an A when
compared to other classes. Creates moral issue with staff. .Some colleges would prefer all high
schools stay away from weighted grade system. Colleges do look at the individual classes taken.
More research needs to be done on the topic.
From this discussion, the issue of ease in dropping classes at CHS was discussed. That issue is
being addressed and will be different for the coming school year. For our information: The four
class presidents serve on the CHS Site Council along with parents, teachers, & administrators.
b) Dances. Why the strict restriction on how students dance? The CHS administration
needs to be aware of skits/dances for liability purposes. Reason for questions/concerns voiced to
students in planning Winterfest
c) Issue of "hospitality" in CHS. Several support staff members do not make CHS
students feel welcome, in fact have disgust when addressing students and accusatory to both
students and parents. Seems to be a general lack ofrespect of students, who are the "customers".
Staff should
be 1) Helpful 2) Positive 3) Good Listener 4) Greet students warmly 5) Say "How can I
help?" 6) Be cheerful and uplifting. 7) Smile 8) Address students (and adults) by name as a .
show of respect Internal customer service training is ongoing, according to Dr. O'Connell. He is
aware of the need.
d) Talked about the possibility of offering students an opportunity to talk about their
concerns. Host a separate forum for parents and students. Format similar to spaghetti dinner?
Concerns such as block scheduling. What will be happening at the new high school? Opportunity
for student input? Use written surveys, poll students. Focus groups - involve deans, nurse, Dr.
O'Connell. Dr. O'Connell will work with us in developing questions for a survey. Sub-committee
members in developing survey for parents: bert, Lori, Matt, Kathy, Susan and Jeanne.
Suggest using parent surveys at parent conferences. Students still felt a need for "open
discussion" opportunities for high school students. Encourage student involvement on the site
council.
e) Talked about concern for poor grammar/spelling seen on curfew surveys completed by
CHS students. Would like an opportunity to talk with curriculum committee.
2) Curfew Surveys. The feedback from the Carver County Commissioners regarding the surveys
included: 1) Survey was too long. 2) Shocked at language, spelling. 3) Commissioners will not
use the results in making a decision on a county-wide curfew because they do not feel students
understood the proposal. Youth Commission response: 1) We operated according to an imposed
deadline, limiting our success. 2) Were not allowed to re-word the proposed ordinance. 3) .
County Commissioners should take into account the students' responses when deciding on a
county-wide curfew. Bob Kraemer and David Kocka will follow-up with the commissioners.
Bob, Matt and Dave will meet to put together a summary of the curfew results.
3) Leadership Training for high school clubs/organizations such as Student Council, YC, Key
Club, CHS Honor Society. Jeanne, Kristin, Christina, and Bert will bring groups together to talk.
4) Loaves & Fishes. Kathy Wellens announced next day of Loaves & Fishes as March 7. Kathy
will re-schedule due to conflicts.
5) The Student Mentorship Program Committee will meet again soon. The CHS Student Council
and the Target Leadership groups are also interested in getting the program started. Matt is
Chairperson of this committee. Suggest not using "Welcome Wagon" as name for mentors hip
program. Subcommittee includes: Matt, Lori, Kathy, & Jeanne.
6)) Values Week. Kerry Holtmeier was in charge of getting students to help out at the ECFE
Family Fun Day at Jonathan on Sunday, Feb. 19 between 2 - 5 pm. Expect a good turn out.
7) Penny Harvest Project: Hope to sponsor it before the end of the school year. Bob and Kerry
will chair. Could raise monies for the Battered Women's House in Shakopee. Purpose of
fund raiser will be determined at the next meeting.

the scrapbook by April 10.
2) The results of the Search Institute Survey "Profiles of Student Life" are back The results will
be announced to the public on Sunday, March 12 at the CEA sponsored workshops at Chaska
Middle School. Lori will serve on a sub-committee dealing with the survey results.
3) Bring a friend to the meeting in April, not March.

OVERVIEW
The Metropolitan Council has revised its regional recreation open space capital improvement
program (CIP) for Calendar Years 1996-2005. This document contains an analysis of the regional
park capital improvement projects against Metropolitan Council funding priorities as well as the
priorities of the Metropolitan Parks and Open Space Commission. Based on that analysis,
projects are prioritized under separate categories so that similar projects are compared against
each other.
For the 1996-97 period, projects are proposed to be funded with anticipated revenues from the
Minnesota Environmental Trust Fund as recommended by the Legislative Commission on
Minnesota Resources (LCMR.) If that revenue source is not appropriated, the Metropolitan
Council would request bonds be issued by the State of Minnesota in 1996. This state revenue
(Environmental Trust Fund or State bonds) will be matched on a 60/40 baSis with bonds issued by
the Metropolitan Council in 1996 and 1997. Another proposed revenue source is federal
Intenllodi11 Smface Trajjspurtai.ion Efficiency Act (ISTEA) grants for trail projects.
The 1996-97 portion of the elP proposes $35,199,800 for park capital improvements from the
following revenue sources:
$20,271,300 of Environmental Trust Fund and 1996 State bonds
$12,998,300 of bonds proposed to be issued by the Metropolitan Council as a 40% match
to state funding.
$1,931,200 of ISTEA grants which are proposed to be matched with State funds on a
80/20 basis.
The funds would be used as follows:
$4.55 million Env. Trust Fund money, $2.388 million of 1996-97 Metropolitan Council bonds and
$1.931 million of ISTEA grants for park acquisition/development projects that were not funded
from 1994 state bonding and 1994-95 Metropolitan Council bonding (pages 1 to 4).
$2.67 million of 1996 state bonds and $1.78 million of 1996-97 Council bonds for land acquisition
(pages 5 to 8).
$4.722 million of 1996 state bonds and $3.148 million of 1996-97 Council bonds for park
redevelopment projects (pages 9 to 10).
$7.923 million of 1996 state bonds and $5.282 million of 1996-97 Council bonds for park and trail
development projects (pages 11 to 13).
An additional $400,000 from the State and Metropolitan Council respectively is proposed to
repair the Lake Byllesby dam in Lake Byllesby Regional Park (page 14).
For the 1996 Legislative Session, the Metropolitan Council will request funds from the State of
Minnesota by project category--acquisition, redevelopment and development. And, if necessary,
system-wide projects if no funds are appropriated for that category in the 1995 Legislative
Session. If less funds are provided by the State of Minnesota in 1996 for a project category, a
reduction will be made only in that category by fully funding projects in priority order until all
funds are allocated. Unfunded or partially funded projects would be the basis for requests for
Minnesota Environmental Trust Fund appropriations for the 1997 Legislative session.
