'. .~ ;,tNan Doren !Hazard ~tStallings y .,_.~'- MEMORANDUM TO: Park and Recreation Commission and Staff FROM: Mark Koegler ~ DATE: December 6, 1989 SUBJECT: Bandimere Park Enclosed, please find two concept plans for Bandimere Park. Until recently, all planning work for this park has been in a preliminary form pending completion of topography for the site. The informa- tion now available includes accurate contours, the ,pipeline center alignment and pipeline elevations. The Williams pipeline traverses the site from the southeast to the northwest. In general, the pipe lies 36" below the surfa~e and has a maximum depth of 42". Because the pipe bisects the site, it has a substantial impact on park development options. Two concept plans including preliminary grading have been prepared for Bandimere Park. Alternate A is essentially theisame plan that was approved by the Park Commission in concept form for further review. This scheme has a major impact on the pipeline and would require modification of the pipe's vertical alignment. The Babe Ruth field on the south side of the park would be constructed on 8 feet of fill (maximum) and the Babe Ruth field on the north would require up to 6 feet of cut. At this time, the willingness of Williams Pipeline Company to adjust the line and the corresponding cost to the city are unknowns. Williams will only react to a plan after it has been formally submitted to their engineering depart- ment in Tulsa. Because of Alternate A's impact on the pipeline, a second alternate was prepared to minimize impact on the line while providing the same facilities. Alternate B provides the four ball fields in a scattered arrangement rather than the "wheel" configuration on Alternate A. Plan B also contains soccer fields that are slightly smaller but still within the range of normal sized fields. The major feature of Alternate B is that it would only minimally impact the pipeline easement and would not disturb the pipe itself. Presumably, this plan would be more acceptable to Williams due to it's negligible impact. Both concept plans have adequate space for all of the uses associated with the ball fields including conces-. sions, warm-up areas, dugouts, spectator seating etc. - >.. - ~ ~ -..-' PIC 06 1989 3030 Harbor Lane North Bldg.II, Suite 104 Minneapolis, MN. 65447-2175 812/6th1tsf.CHANHASSEN -':", , 0, , ", ~ ~. ~ ~ l i ni . ~ ~ I . , .

Last summer the Park and Recreation Commission directed Staff to look into requiring park dedication fees at the time final plat approval is given. I discussed this item with City Manager Don Ashworth. He feels very strongly that this will not be a simple change in policy. Attached please~find a memo to Don outlining the proposal, Don's response, and the City Attorney's opinion. Don will attend our meeting on Tuesday evening to discuss this issue in greater detail. .

Specifically, they would like to collect the fee up front at the time of final plat approval, rather than with the building permit. They feel that it will be easier to respond to the needs of new neighborhoods if funds are readily available. I have done a quick survey of ten communities to see how they collect their fees. The majority of those surveyed collect fees' in a lump sum at the time of platting. .

FAX (612) 937-5739 MEMORANDUM TO: Lori Sietsema, Park and Recreation Coordinator FROM: Don Ashworth, City Manager DATE: October 26, 1989 SUBJ: Park Dedication Fee Collection I had hoped to get additional information from the communities shown as requiring a "lump sum payment at time of platting". Unfortunately, busy schedules have kept such from occurring. As time is marching on, response appeared necessary. . I would anticipate a strong uproar from the development com- munity. Specifically, developers such as Rick Murray, Tom Klingelhutz, and Don Patton se~l toa number of builders for actual home construction. By having the charge collected at the time of platting, these developers will be required to front end the park charge versus simply having the builder pay such at time of getting his permit. To effectuate the recommendation of the Park and Recreation Commission, an ordinance amendment would be required. Please forward this to Roger and request that he draft the proposed amendment(s). Several questions should be posed to Roger Knutson, i.e: - Although the COIlcept plan and preliminary plat show the entire subdivision, most developers will only "final plat" a small grouping of lots. The primary reason for such is the City's requirements for security deposits/ letters of credit guaranteeing sewer/water/roadways/etc., for all lots proposed to be Qfinal platted". The question posed is one of whether the real objectives of the Park Commission are going to be accomplished. Specifically, does the City have the authority to require payment for the lots shown on the preliminary plat or only those obtaining final plat approval?; and . - What effect will this modification have on existing lots of record? Statutory authority for collecting park charges Ms. Lori Sietsema October 26, 1989 Page 2 ~ . only exists as a part of the platting process. Technically, the amount of park charge is to be set at that time of platting. The collection can occur then or with building permits. The current system of collecting park charges at the time of building permit treats all applicants the same. We do check to see if a credit is due, everyone is used to paying. Switching the process could lead to errors simply because of the volume increase. Currently all of Near Mountain is marked "must pay". In the past, Trappers Pass First through Fourth Additions did not pay while the Fifth through Seventh Additions did. With the emphasis being placed on early collection, will we miss older ones? For practical purposes, we collect a park charge from all lots - new and old. At some point, we may expect a challenge wherein the Council was silent regarding park charges associated with Scholer's First Addition in 1967. The attorney has previously advised that the chance of such challenge is relatively minor in comparison to the objec- tive which is trying to be achieved - each new permit should pay a park charge. This point may seem relatively minor; however, I do question how we would have received the $65,000 park charge from CPT if the current modification were in place. Can we collect park charges from the vacant platted lots in the vicinity of The Press? [Note: The platting process for this area was silent regarding the necessity to pay park charges when these lots were created in the late 1970's. Since the process will b~ reversed to having builders not pay, isn't there more likelihood that more questions will be asked regarding why they must pay on an older lot?]; and . - The current ordinance provides two different methods of establishing the park charge against lots in the proposed subdivision. To date we have had very few developers attempting to negotiate one versus the other to achieve the best monetary result for themself. This fact has recognized that they are not paying it. By the time that the individual builder takes out a permit, his complaint is seen as being too late and therefore non-appealable. I sincerely believe that the amount of time spent negotiating alternative payment schedules will significantly increase for yourself and will result in appeals to the Park Commission/City Council. This process becomes tougher when partial credits are being given as a result of dedication. To date, I believe our success rate in holding to a credit of 25% or 50% has been quite high. I attribute part of this to the fact that the developer's primary motivation is that he is not really paying - 75% versus 25% of zero is still zero. If the change is made, his motivation will . , . . . Ms. Lori Sietsema October 26, 1989 Page 3 will change. That motivation will translate into more appeals to the Commission/City Council. Encouraging this type of appeal process generally has negative effects. Specifically, a City Council must look at the community at large, overall effects of their decisions, tax and fiscal implications, etc. These broader range perspectives prob- ably are not and should not be the same motivational factors for members of each of our different Commissions. Processes which generate greater appeals to both a Commission and a Council will assuredly result in a higher number of times where the two bodies reach different conclu- sions, i.e. 75% credit versus 25% credit. Prior to resubmitting this item to the Park and Recreation Commission, answers to the questions posed should be received from the attorney, engineering and planning. Those responses should accompany the report to the Park and Recreation Commission. If you have not guessed by now, my overall reaction is negative. It is not negative in terms of the goal which is being attempted to be achieved. My concern is that the overall objective may produce lesser revenues than currently received - all of which occurring with more headaches and frustrations. The concern which scares me the most is the potential error factor. I am extremely pleased with the unified staff approach to insure that. things do not slip between the cracks. I do not want this to be a step backwards. This issue should also be addressed by the treasurer/planning/engineering as a part of their responses. CITY OF CHANHASSEN , . 690 COULTER DRIVE. P.O.

Don's questions and my answers follow: Q. Does the City have the authority to require payment for the lots shown on the preliminary plat or only those obtaining final approval? A. Minn. Stat. ~ 462.358, Subd. 2b. The City can only require payment of park charges for final plats. Preliminary plat approval does not create a plat, it is only a preliminary approval. Q. What effect will this modification (i.e., collecting charges at the time of plat approval) have on existing lots of record? A. None. The right to collect park charges on existing lots is dependent upon the terms of the development contract, if any, under which the lots were approved. The only authority the City has for imposing and collecting such charges is as a condition of plat approval. If an old plat was approved without the requirement of the payment of park charges, the City has no authority to collect the charges now. Q. Won't developers become tough negotiators if they know that money is coming out of their own pocket? A. My experience in Lakeville is that maybe one developer a year raises a questions that is brought to my attention.

The City Council recently adopted the 1990 Budget. In doing so, the Capital Improvement Program was approved as proposed by the Park and Recreation Commission. The 1990 Capital Improvement Program included funds to purchase playground equipment at four park sites, Lake Ann Park (Phase II), Chanhassen Hills Park, South Lotus Park and Lake Susan Park. As the master park plan for South Lotus Park has not been done, and development of Lake Susan Park is underway, it is recommended that we wait to purchase equipment for these sites. This will allow us to deter- mine the size of the area and what we have room for. Lake Ann Park The first phase of equipment at Lake Ann Park was purchased and installed in 1989. The border is in place to accommodate Phase II which will include two deck structures, balance beam, chain walk, turning bar, track ride, double poly slide, vertical lad- ders, horizontal ladder, pipe wall, chinning bar, flat slide, tire swing, belt swing, tot swings, double ring bridge, and super scoop diggers. The price for PhaseIIisroughly$9,500. Chanhassen Hills $10,000 was allocated for park development of Chanhassen Hills Park. The rough grading has been completed and City staff will complete the fine grading and seeding this spring. The park plan for this site includes totlot, ballfield, volleyball, parking and a future tennis court. Staff would suggest seeding, gravel parking, totlot and a volleyball court for Phase I. . Recommendation It is the recommendation of this office to authorize the purchase of Phase II playground equipment and Phase I playground equipment for Chanhassen Hills Park. These purchases will be paid for out of the Capital Improvement Program with budgeted funds. 7 .. C ITV OF CHAHHASSEH 690 COULTER DRIVE. P.O. BOX 147. CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 .

BACKGROUND This proposal was submitted some time ago. At that time, the Park and Recreation Commission expressed interest in purchasing the entire piece and the proposal was put on hold. A purchase price was not agreed upon, and the Commission acted against con- demnation proceedings. The applicant is now continuing with the proposal of dividing 11.67 acres into 13 single family lots and 2 outlots. The applicant is proposing to dedicate 4.24 acres for park pur- poses. A large portion of this area is a Class B wetland area, which means it is protected by our Wetland Ordinance. The question is whether or not enough of the parcel will be dry enough for park purposes. Our Engineering Department has calcu- lated that one-half acre is needed for water storage for the runoff of this development alone. This does not take into con- sideration the runoff from the surrounding areas. It is esti- mated that after a "normal" rain in a "normal" year, which has not occurred within the last 2 to 3 years, the area would be wet up to the 988 contour line. It is possible that in a 100 year storm situation the area would be wet up to the 990 contour line. This is supported by the fact that the outlet on the southwest . corner of the parcel is at the 991 contour line for emergency . overflow. The wetland area represents approximately 1.5 - 2 acres, leaving roughly 2.5 acres of dry land and slopes. Although this does not represent an adequate amount;of park space, park needs will be difficult to meet in this area and therefore this property should be accepted. The Comprehensive Trail Plan calls for sidewalks along all thru streets. As the street in this developent connects this develop- ment and Pheasant Hill to the Lake Lucy Road trail system, such should be required. RECOMMENDATION It is the recommendation of this office to accept the proposed parkland for open space in lieu of park dedication fees, and to require a 6 ft. wide concrete sidewalk along the west side of the thru street in lieu of the trail dedication fee. . .6 CITY OF CHANHASSEN PRC DATE: 1-9-90 .. ~ r ,..

BACKGROUND This proposal involves the subdivision of 3.9 acres into an outlot and a lot. The Comprehensive Plan shows this as an area served by the Minnetonka Intermediate School. Although no City park exists in this area, this small development does not repre- sent a suitable park acquisition possibility. The Comprehensive Trail Plan calls for a trail connection between West 65th Street and the Minnetonka Intermediate School. Please refer to the attached memorandum dated December 14, 1989 for the background on this isue. As stated in the attached memo, this development presents the opportunity for the City to obtain the trail connection needed. A 20' x 417' trail section is roughly .19 acres with a value of approximately $2,000. RECOMMENDATION It is the recommendation of this office to accept park and trail dedication fees in lieu of parkland and trail construction, and to require the dedication of a 20 ft. wide trail segment along . the north property line. Staff would also recommend that the City compensate the landowner for this dedication at the fair market value. . . C ITV OF CHANHASSEN 690 COULTER DRIVE. P.O. BOX 147.

The saga continues as the City continues to pursue the acquisi- tion of a pedestrian walkway from West 65th Street to the Minnetonka Intermediate School. As you will recall, it was the City's desire to provide a pedestrian access to the school for residents along Murray Hill Road and West 65th Street. At the time the Ostrum Development was approved, an easement was required along the east and south boundary. Unfortunately, the developer neglected to record the easement and the lots were sold. Since that time a trail through the water tower property has been provided. Although this provides access for the residents along Murray Hill Road, the people along West 65th Street remain stranded. Staff has researched a number of alternatives. The Wolf pro- perty, just south of the Ostrum Development, includes a narrow strip of land to the Minnetonka Intermediate School. The Wolf's have agreed to sell the property.to.theCity. However, upon sur- veying the property, we hav.e fountl. thatit.yariepfrom 4.15 - 8.15 feet in width, to narrow for a trailway.Upon further investiga- tion Staff has found that the adjacent Shively property is prosposed to be subdivided, providing the opportunity to acquire the additional land needed :. MEMO to Don Ashworth Page 2 The missing link in the chain would then be to acquire an ease- ment along the west side of the Kelly property from West 65th Street or along the east side of Lot 5 of Pleasant Hills. At this point we have entered into a purchase agreement with the Wolf's and it is anticipated that the dedication of land for trail purposes will be required of the Shively subdivision. In the meantime, Staff will work with the Kelly's and/or the owners of Lot 5 to obtain the missing link. Unless otherwise directed by you, Councilor the Park and Recreation Commission, I will proceed as outlined above. . . . -"/ - I ~~,~ 0- t$~ }I ..,9.' ~ I ..S> '-..J r<) ..J .:.J ~:i: ~ Q...9 >- ... .,; 4..0 : .i~ ::i= .. ~i o G) . -- ...... ....

FAX (612) 937-5739 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Don Ashworth, City Manager DATE: December 18, 1989 SUBJ: Youth Development Commission, Contribution . Development of a Youth Development Commission and the establish- ment of youth goals was strongly supported by this office. I do not recall missing any of the meetings during the last year wherein the program has gained fruition. However, the concepts of a paid Director's position and distribution of these costs back to cities is relatively new. When first presented, approxi- mately two months ago, it was the position of each of the admini- strators (Cities and County) that funding should more properly occur on a school district basis. . - Cost Distribution: Although Chanhassen and Chaska are approximately the same size, the formula being used would require Chaska's contribution to.be approximately two to three times higher than Chanhassen's. Similarily, the City of Carver was already in the midst of some very painful budge- tary decisions. Their ability to~ontribute would be very doubtful. [Note: They have since~concluded the budgetary process and did not include funding.. for this program.] Carver's decision would require each of the other cities then to pick up the lost funding. If funded at a school district level, these inequities would n01;.exist; - Governmental Relations: During the formation of the youth program, I have attempted to keep.the.Minnetonka School District apprised of the proposed program. Although being of interest to them, they currently have no similar group working on a similar proposal. Although a legal means may be found to make the proposed contribution, such could produce questions as to how we are equitably treating all of the school districts affecting Chanhassen. The issue of legality recognizes that a City cannot contribute monies to the Heart Fund, Cancer Fund, etc., even though these organ- izations are very worthwhile. To have the payment meet Mayor and City Council December 18, 1989 Page 2 e~ statute requirements assumes that a joint powers agreement would be established with the other cities and that those contributing would act as a board overseeing the expen~ ditures, i.e. joint powers agreement with Carver County for prosecution, assessing, police, etc., services; and - Accountability/Effectiveness: In any of the examples pre- viously cited or examples of the various commissions that exist in all of our cities, an organizational structure exists within which expenditures/responsibility/support services/etc., exist. Without having a nhome base organization", the ability of the Youth Commission Director will be very limited. By contrast, this position, as a part of our community school program, has an existing organ- izational structure within which it can work and accomplish goals. More importantly, community schools currently reaches into and works very closely with staff/elected officials at both the county and city level. Being able to effectuate the goals desired by the organization should be a key concern. Having cities fund the program with only minor control appears to be in contrast to typical organi- zational theory establishes only minor accountability. I had hoped to meet'with Bob Ostlund/Carol Ericson prior to re_presenting this issue. A tentative meeting has been discussed which would include other administrators. I would ask for general guidance in approaching this meeting and would request that this item be tabled. el eJ COMPLAINANT COMPLAINT RECEIVED BY: ~ I 'eST: (,Je.LL5 STREET NUMBER: FIRST: Q v~{NdJ w,;~ ~~ It MIDDLE: DaB: 7fJ() STREET NAME: CI TY:.

I feel confident that now, barring bad weather, we will get this jo~done. I would like to rei terate the concerns the City has had and the items that need to be corrected or completed. The drainage swales on the north and west side of the middle field were checked for positive drainage. The west swa1e drained. The north swa1e needed to be corrected. You indicated that this was done and there was no standing water in that area this morning. 2. There are two drainage areas that need to be altered. One is at the north end of the park on the north side of the road. Water is running off onto the road and the drainage needs to diverted. There is also standing water at the north entry where the new park road meets the old road. At the entrance on the south, water is standing in a low area. This needs to be graded so that the water drains to the ditch. 1. 3. Ag lime 4 inches deep needs to be added to the bench areas for all the fields. Two bench areas per field. 4. The transitions between the sod, the seed areas and the ag lime need to be modified in some places. 5. The chain link fence installation needs to be completed. Orange plastic safety fence needs to be installed on the west side of the park improvements, per the plan. 6. The landscape plan needs to be installed. 7. This project needs to be completed as soon as possible. Everyone concern~d feels that 1t has taken far too long. . "....\"""1-...

Theis 448 Oak Hill Road Chaska, Minnesota 55318 Phone 448-4194(H) 937-4151(W) Dave Pokorney 1 City Hall Plaza Chaska, Minnesota 55318 cc:Robert Roepke Tom Redman Jim Krapf Dear Dave: I'm writing you concerning a few issues we discussed briefly at the open gym on Wed. Dec. 13th. I was startled by your comment that volleyball shouldn't have to compromise on gym space because they have the largest number of participants. That is like telling the girl's athletic programs in the school system that they can't participate because the boys programs have more members and have been there longer. Or telling soccer players they can't have fields because softball,baseball and football have more participants and were there first. You know as well as I do that if you promote one event more than another one will suffer while the other prospers. Since Todd Hoffman at Chanhassen took over the men's bask~tba1lleague it has grown over 100% in one year. (currently 11 teams) The reason the league never grew was because it was never promoted properly and suffered at the expense of volleyball. We had more teams in the mid 70's than we did until this year. The start of the downfall was when the rec department moved us from our Wed. nite time slot at the high school to a single gym at the middle school. Space was limited so players went to other leagues or health dubs to play. In our existing league we have to play on Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday or Saturday to get space when its available. This creates a problem with people's schedules and I think in the future volleyball should compromise and go on a floating schedule in alternate years if the problem still exists with opening of the community center. A school district with a basketball tradition and with a population base of 20,000 plus along with an evergrowing commercial base could easily produce up to 30 teams. When I played in the Eden Prairie league in the mid 80's the population was similar to ours and they had 30+ teams. (Eden Prairie had to turn teams away and change participation guidelines) These were all 5 man teams, they also ran a 3 on 3 league for over 35. I would like to see the rec department promote these programs with the same effort they promote volleyball. VIe 18 1989 CITY. OF CHANHASSEN It also bothered me when you told me the rec department had ~o room to promote new or existing programs anymore. But in the Chaska newsletter there . are 4 volleyball programs promoted and not one mention of any of the basketball programs. In fact the open gym on Sat. that we lobbied for isn't even promoted as a adult basketball activity. We've had problems when people show up to play volleyball and we have 20-30 people playing basketball. This is a situation that has plagued the basketball players for years. Unless continuity can be developed and people know they can play when its scheduled they will either find somewhere else to play or just forget it. What would happen to a volleyball league or your wed. nite basketball gathering if people weren't sure they could play? Also, I believe the rec department should consider a program that other cities have implemented when participation is high and room at a premium. It is not fair for people in other sports to be told there is no room to participate when some volleyball players are playing on 2 or 3 different teams. Many cities do this in all sports to ensure everybody has a equal chance to participate. Another issue to consider when room is at a premium is to verify eligibility. Cities, such as Eden Prairie make teams pay a $100 deposit with the entry fee at the start of the year and if anyone is found ineligible they forfeit the money. I was playing there at the time and it created room for teams that had been on a waiting list. I work in Eden Prairie so I wasn't effected, but it did effect teams who had friends playing on their teams who were not eligible. Another item that must be considered is what to do when you have leagues with people from other cities playing in the community center that do not have memberships and taking up space that should justifiably . be used for other needs. As a Chaska resident and taxpayer I would be upset if that happened to me or my family members. Volleyball is a great sport for all ages and I'm not asking for volleyball to be abolished. My wife plays in the volleyball leagues and I have also played in the past years. But I think the rec department's programming methods should be reviewed and more access to facilities be giving to the other programs that that have been sort of left in the dark. With the coming of the community center I hope this problem could be addressed before the time slots are all allocated and difficult to change. Regards 71lJ ff ~ Mark R. Theis . .

I have reviewed your memorandum outlining the current status of the Ostrom/West 65th Street trail issue. By this memorandum, I wish to congratulate you for resolving an issue which could have become quite ugly. Specifically, recording of easements asso- ciated with plats had been a function of the Engineering Department. During Bill Monk's absence, the trail easements across the Ostrom property were not recorded. In the me~ntime, unsuspecting buyers purchased the properties and have been quite vocal in their position that they will not now dedicate the easments to the City. Similarly, Mr. Ostrom has disavowed any fault in the matter. The City Attorney has taken the position that the City could seek the easements through a court process and sue Mr. Ostrom to recover our costs. As noted above, all of the options appeared to be lose/lose options. The final solution reached, a trail crossing at the water tower site as well as one crossing south of the Ostrom Addition, provides benefits to both the West 65th Street and Murray Hill residents which were not originally anticipated to be achieved. These options can also be achieved ata lower cost than the ori- ginal proposal and at a far lesser cost than would have occurred through a court process. Upon completion of the subdivision process by Shively and after working out the details of the minor north/south connector strip, you should call a meeting of the West 65th Street and Murray Hill neighborhood to review what has transpired since this issue was last reviewed by the City Council. It may also be beneficial to have an estimate of the trail construction costs completed. . Again, congratulations on seeking an amicable solution to a difficult problem which was inherited by you. cc: Personnel File Mayor and City Council . '. CITY OF CHANHASSEN 690 COULTER DRIVE. P.O.

FAX (612) 937-5739 MEMORANDUM TO: Don Ashworth, City Manager FROM: Lori Sietsema, Park and Recreation coordinato'L- December 14, 1989 ~) DATE: SUBJ: Trailway from West 65th Street to Minnetonka Intermediate School . The saga continues as the City c9Iltinues to pursue the acquisi- tion of a pedestrian walkway from West 65th Street to the Minnetonka Intermediate School. A~ you will recall, it was the City's desire to provide a pedestrian access to the school for residents along Murray Hill Road and West 65th Street. At the time the Ostrum Development was approved, an easement was required along the east and south boundary. Unfortunately, the developer neglected to record the easement and the lots were sold. Since that time a trail through the water tower property has been provided. Although this provides/access for the residents along Murray Hill Road, the people along West 65th Street remain stranded. Staff has researched a number of alternatives. The Wolf pro- perty, just south of the Ostrum Development, includes a narrow strip of land to the Minnetonka Intermediate School. The Wolf's have agreed to sell the property to the City. However, upon sur- veying the property, wehave.fQundthat it varies from 4.15 - 8.15 feet in \vidth, to narrow for a trailway. . Upon further.investiga- tion Staff has found that the adjacent Shively property is prosposed to be subdivided, providing the City.the opportunity to acquire the additional land.. needed. . . . . MEMO to Don Ashworth Page 2 The missing link in the chain would then be to acquire an ease- ment along the west side of the Kelly property from West 65th Street or along the east side of Lot 5 of Pleasant Hills. At this point we have entered into a purchase agreement with the Wolf's and it is anticipated that the dedication of land for trail purposes will be required of the Shively subdivision. In the meantime, Staff will work with the Kelly's and/or the owners of Lot 5 to obtain the missing link. Unless otherwise directed by you, Councilor the Park and Recreation Commission, I will proceed as outlined above. . a:(J) ^(') -...J~ ~jI 0 0 ""Or 0 c.n ~ :n - (') ~ V z 0 N ~ en . ..... . . . -rI "'\ o 1 () <):. t \ --- 41 15 4C' e ~ :r o g~ v. ::l":r- : uf t/) \ li: :r \ <" rn 'r ! -<) ~ lr\ o I~O .,.

Ice fishermen and snowmobiler@ continue to litter the lake and while I doubt that many would take advantage of facilities such as cans and toilets, if they aren't there, they can't possibly use them. (pop and beer) A neighborhood boy and a friend picked up numerous cans/from the lake over the holiday vacation, and having cans to put them in helps those of us who pick up trash when we walk or ski. With so many pressures on the lake, I think the city should do all it can to help keep it clean for present and future generations. Thanks for your help.
