Power Hill Park, Citizen Request to Reconsider Commission Action
of May 9, 1995
Power Hill Park was the topic of conversation a our Park & Recreation Commission
meetings this spring.
.
1.
February 28, 1995: Ed Kraft, 8711E<go Drive addressed the
commission regarding park facilities at Power.Hill Park. Mr. Kraft's specific
request was for the construction of a basketball court and a sand volleyball
court.
Commission Action: Staff wa~. directed to place the issue on the
commission's March agenda.
2. March 28, 1995: The attaChed report dated March 21, 1995 was submitted to
the commission.
Commissio OOon: Commission Lash moved, Commissioner Andrews
seconded ark & Recreation Commission direct staff to draw up a
plan to .... .t for final approval that would show a basketball court be
located as c ible to the parking area/playground area and cost
estimates for benc es nd picnic tables on the upper area. All voted in
favor, except Berg, who opposed and the motion carried with a vote of 5-1.
3.
April 25, 1995: The attached staff repqd<dated April 21, 1995, was submitted to the
COmmISSIon.
.
Commission Action: Commissioner Lash moved, Commissioner Berg seconded
that the Park & Recreation Commission direct staff to draw up finalized plans
..

.
for an expanded parking lotlbasketball court, posts and chains for Power Hill
Park. All voted in favor and the motion carried.
4. May 9, 1995: The attached report dated May 2, 1995, was submitted to the
COmmlSSlOn.
Commission Action: Commissioner Huffman moved, Commissioner Lash
seconded that the Park & Recreation Commission approve the attached plans and
specifications for Power Hill Park basketball hoop and parking lot improvements,
including authorization to spend contingency funds not to exceed $5,078.86. All
voted in favor and the motion carried.
Subsequently, on June 25, 1995, Ray and Julie Garver, 8704 Flamingo Drive presented a
petition to the commission regarding the commission's action of May 9. Specifically, the
petition requested that no additional parking stalls be added to the park. A fmal copy of the
petition, which is dated June 7, 1995, was submitted by Julie Garver on August 3, 1995. A
copy of the petition is attached.
Staff offers the following responses to points raised in the petition.
1.
"We feel that the need for parking during the summer months does not justifY the
$1,256.40 expenditure."
.
Staff Response: Providing reasonable access to public facilities is the responsibility
of the city. It is staff's opinion that the estimated investment of $1,256.40 to construct
5 parking stalls provides reasonable access at an economical price. The city has
invested a great deal in the acquisition, planning and development of Power Hill Park.
I do not classifY this expenditure as an incidental expense, but $250 per parking stall
is a good buy.
2. "We are all aware and understand that any person visiting the park during the summer
months would then need to park along Flamingo Drive."
Staff Response: Flamingo Drive is 350 feet away from the entrance to the park's new
playground. This is 3 times the distance from the proposed new parking stalls. It is
reasoned that an investment of $1,256.40 to reduce the distance between the park's
designated parking area and the park's main attraction (the playground) by two-thirds
is an appropriate action. Staff is of the opinion that the hardship of spending
$1,256.40 does not equate with the desire to triple the distance between the
playground and available parking. Furthermore, elimination of the stalls would
eliminate the ability to perform a turnaround maneuver upon arrival at the proposed
gate. If the new stalls are eliminated from the plan, a "T" area would need to be
retained to allow for turning maneuvers. .
.

3. "We believe that the true usage of Power Hill Park will be during the winter months,
hence the name of the park."
Staff Response: Power Hill Park is open to the public 365 days per year from 6 a.m.
to 10 p.m.
4. "We also feel that additional research be performed before any unplanned and
budgeted improvements be made to Power Hill Park."
Staff Response: The subject of additional improvements at Power Hill Park has
received an unusual amount of commission time and review. Staff does not concur
with the labeling of these efforts as unplanned. The contingency in the Park &
Recreation Commission's budget is in place to accommodate just such requests as the
Power Hill basketball issue.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the commission confirm its action of May 9, 1995.

Re: Improvements to Power Hill Park
We, the undersigned, residents of the Lake Susan Hills
development want to thank you for your time and efforts with
regard to the request to add basketball equipment to Power
Hill Park. We are very excited about the playground
equipment that is scheduled to be installed in the near
future. We understand that an additional five parking stalls
are proposed to be added to the existing parking lot. We
also understand that this cost is approximately $1,256.40.
We propose that the additional parking stalls not be added to
Power Hill Park. We feel that the need for parking during
the summer months does not justify the $1,256.40 expenditure.
We are aware and understand, that any person visiting the
park during the summer months would then need to park along
Flamingo Drive. We believe that the true usage of Power Hill
Park will be during the winter months, hence the name of the
park.
.
We also feel that additional research be performed before any
unplanned and budgeted improvements be made to Power Hill
Park. We want to be certain that all residents truly
understand the reasoning and cost behind any additional
improvements.

MEMORANDUM

Park and Recreation Commission
~
FROM:
Todd Hoffman, Park and Recreation Director
DATE:
March 21, 1995
SUBJ:
Citizen Request for Park Improvements (Half-Court Basketball and Sand
Volleyball Court) at Power Hill Park
. A group of residents from the Power Hill p~? neig~~orhood approached the Park and
Recreation Commission during Visitor Presentationspn February 28, 1995. Upon hearing
from the group, the commission selected to/place this[item on the March 28, 1995 agenda.
The following report has been prepared to/assist the cotnrnission in reviewing this request.
Response to "Power Hill Park Facil}~y Request/Feedb~;ck" Narrative Distributed on
February 28, 1995: Please referen~~'the attached cOPY9;t the narrative and the
accompanying report. Where appropnate, responses have.geen provided.

The Site: As shown on t eparkgl.~.~,~relatively small flat spot(10Q:..:x.200') does exist on
top of the hill at the park. In referencingthe.five(;::~~S;!p.,YQU will recall that discussions
of placing a small picnic shelter at this locatisn rr~ulted in the denotation "picnic shelter
beyond 1996." Such a picnic shelter would ~<t.advantage of the views offered from the top
of the hill. Planned appropriately, all three fa~ilities, I.e. picnic shelter, basketball and
volleyball, would fit on this site.

RECOMMENDATION
Staffs 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 fmal
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 ofJ 993 with grass seeding taking place in the
fall of 1993. Soil samples of the park indicatedthe.soil was lacking nutrients to establish a
good stand of grass. A starter fertilizer was used atJhe same time of seeding to correct this
problem. In the summer of 1994, the seed was not growing very well, therefore, we slit
seeded the park with an all purpose grass seed. This seed is the same grass seed used in all
neighborhood parks. At this point we also included Power Hill Park in our fertilization
program consisting of three applications ..a year. The fertilization process can take as long as
five years to bring the soil nutrients back to the level they should be. Along with the
fertilization program, we also need adequate rain fall to establish a good stand of grass.
If you have any other questions regarding the seeding at Power Hill, feel free to contact me.

MEMORANDUM

FROM:
DATE: March 20, 1995
SUBJECT: Construction of Power Hill Parking Lot
To keep the cost down in the park budget, the construction of Power Hill parking lot was
done in-house by maintenance and park personl'leLW e have done much of the construction
in many of the parks within Chanhassen. This.hassaved the residents of Chanhassen a
substantial amount of money. The equipment used by our maintenance department is older
and the quality of workmanship suffers because of this. The Power Hill parking lot does
have small vibration marks in the surface. These marks are caused by the packer, which is
very small for this type of project, but the.II1arks should not affect the longevity of the
parking lot. We have a larger packer approved in the 1995 budget which we should have
later this year. The larger packer should take care of this type of problem in any future
projects. I was not real happy with the finished surface of this parking lot either, but
considering the amount of mone~~aved, the project was e~onomical, the final result
satisfactory, and the parking lotwill be serviceable for many 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
BECEt VED
., (' ,'. ,', ;/' '\OC\'j'
~)~',.~.. (:.. ..).:.;
CITY Of CH.".~;H/\S~t::.;'{
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.

Ed & Mary Kraft

seems to have been placed on hold. After attending a Park
Board meeting on it last winter and participating in a .
neighborhood survey, we have heard nothing.

for benches and picnic tables on t~e upper area.. All voted in favor, except Berg who
opposed, and the motion carriedwith a vote of 510 1.
2. Lash moved, Meger seconded to direct staff to prepare a plan that will address the
drainage problem in the lower area and making the. path usable. All voted in favor
and the motion carried."

Todd Hoffman
Park Board
690 Coulter Dr.
Chanhassen, MN 55317
Mr. Hoffman, Park Board, to whom it may concern:
Our response pertains to the letter sent to us by the City of Chanhassen regarding
Power Hill Park. Chanhassen is a growing neighborhood, and we would like to
see the community grow in good spirit with one another.
Our house backs up to the property of Power Hill Park. As homeowners we have
already paid taxes and do not want to incur further costs.
There are many small children in this neighborhood between one and six years of
age. It is important that the children in our community have a safe and protected
place to play. In consideration of a basketball court, we think this idea may be
factoid at this point in time. There are basketball courts in the area, and perhaps
this would be better placed in a future time slot. Basketball would exclude many
children at this time. If parents want to fund the monies for this project the idea
needs to be taken to the community at large, and if it is a feasible idea, then these
parents can fund the project if no monies are available at this time. Otherwise the
project should be put on hold for further recommendation.
.
At this time it seems more plausible to set up a playground area with jungle gyms,
swings, sand areas, etc. Both young boys and girls will benefit from the
interaction as a community. With the excess of sand on the Chanhassen roads,
young children now make sandboxes in the roadways to play in, and this could be
a potential hazard for children and vehicle drivers.
While we do not wish the park to lay fallow -- we think some detailed research
should go into effect as to what is needed at Power Hill Park. Long and short term
goals are needed. Such as tennis courts for the adolescents, which adults may also
use. The community needs to be represented as a whole, making the park usable
to everyone with their different agendas.

At the same time, the park commission must consider other areas of concern also.
There needs to be time frames to keep noise down for those whose homes border
the park, and make sure that homeowners are also protected from abuse by those
who disregard the rights of homeowners bordering the park -- such as littering, and
animal waste left in private yards, and not using proper pathways into the park. A
fence needs to be erected to separate the park traffic from violations to homeowner
property. Our yard is now being used as a short cut pathway to the park.
Please be assured we want our community to work together, and get the best use
from Power Hill Park, and provide a safe, happy atmosphere for children of all
ages to play. The com...munity should be notified about any projects regarding the
park, and we feel no particular group should dominate the outcome. The
community needs to vote on matters regarding the outcome of any projects set for
Power Hill Park.
Thank you for taking the time to note our concerns on this matter.
Sincerely,

Chanhassen, MN 55317
Dear Todd:
Enclosed, please fmd the plan and cost estimate for Power Hill Park alterations. As we discussed, the
plan includes striping for two half court basketball areas, hopscotch and four square on the existing
parking lot as well as installation of a gate, bollards and added parking.
The Yz basketball courts are opposite each other to allow the possibility of full court play. The
basketball hoops, however, will be at different heights; the easterly hoop will be the regulation 10 feet
and the westerly hoop will be at 8 feet for younger players. The overall length of the court is
approximately 67 feet, much less that the standard 84 feet.
The gate will need to be fairly substantial structure, constructed of steel tubing with welded
construction and significant footings. There will be two gates which meet in the center of the
driveway. The gates can be locked open using two lock-down bollards positioned at the sides of the
driveway. Access to the parking lot will be further controlled by placing wood bollards along the
pavement edge. The bollards will allow bike and pedestrian access but restrict vehicular access. Five
parking spaces (1 handicapped) have been added to the park along the existing entry drive. There are
a few small existing trees which will need to be removed to accommodate the parking.
The cost estimate enclosed for roughly $5,000 assumes that the City will provide all the labor
necessary to fabricate and/or install the components. If Contract labor is used to do this work, the
costs would obviously be significantly higher. As I mentioned earlier, if the Park Commission directs
Staff to proceed with the work, we can pull the construction details for the various components
together fairly easily.
If you have any questions, please give me a call.
Sincerely,
~t~

Chanhassen Park Commission
City Hall
690 Colter Dr.
Chanhassen, MN 55317
Dear Mr. Hoffman and Commission Members,
I am a 13-year-old boy that lives in the Lake Susan Hills. I was glad to
hear that you are planning to put basketball hoops in Power Hill Park. I
would like to ask that you put the baskets where it would be possible to play
a full court game. If possible I would appreciate it if you could also add lines
for our boundaries and free throw lines. I would also ask you to make the
hoops adjustable so that both little and big kids can play.
.
Thank you for listening to us kids.

MEMORANDUM
FROM:
Todd Hoffinan, Park & Recreation Director
A
TO:
Park & Recreation Commission
DATE:
August 3, 1995
SUBJ:
Work Session; 1996 Park Acquisition and Development Capital Improvement
Program (CIP)
.
The commission is always offered the fIrst oPP9~ty to develop the annual CIP. I am
recommending a $150,000 to $200,000 limit on<lQ~6 "hard costs." "Overhead" expenses
such as staff costs, legal services, fees for seryice Will account for an additional $40,000 to
$50,000. If the commission fails to identify ptojectSfor these dollars, staff will offer its
opInIOn.
The format of your work sheets is for the 5 Year CIP. Although the 1996 CIP is your
number one priority, the 5 Year CIP needs attention as well.
