APPROVAL OF PROPOSED PARK/OPEN SPACE FOR UPDATED LAND USE PLAN.
(
.
Sietsenia: The planning depart~ent is in the process of updating the Lane
Use Plan which is part of the Conlprehensive Plan. What that does is it
shows where we're planning to see residential, low, high, medil~ density,
single fandly, rural. It also shows where the agricul tlll:al, industrial,
cO~lercial, park property. Any different types of land use. This is the
old one and they're going to be updating this and what we want to ~ake slue
we include in that, as they update this map, is anywhere that we, and
I know we've talked about a nUlliber of things and we I'lade recol'IPlendations to
anlend this. Now they're going through the forl'lal process and I wanted to
make sure that we didn't ~iss anything. I know that we had talked about
that the property, I believe it's the Zil'lPIet:l'lan property that's over on the
east side of Minnewashta, there was a development where they were going to
create 3 lots and one huge outlot and we had talked about that being
potential cOl'lJtllmity park because Mar.k's study had shown that we were going
to need a cOl'lPIunity park in the western part of the City. So that was one
area that we want to identify as potential parkland. Just as the area
around Lake St. Joe is. Whether we actually acquire it or not will
deterl'dne when it beCOl'leS available through the developl'lent process. What
this does is that they cannot develop this property without us signing off
on it. They can sell it fro~ seller to seller as long as it's not
developed and we don't have to sign off on it but if they want to develop
it, that's when we will review it. Our Comprehensive Plan and our Land
Use Plan shows that that's shown as potential park property and we have the
option to purchase it or get it through the developl'lent process or whatever
means we can. Again, one of the pieces was east of Minnewashta. One of
thel'l was west of Minnewashta. One of thel'l was in the Pheasant Hills area
that we continue to talk about. We've also talked about acquiring the
property north of the Bandimere Farl'l as that COl'leS in and if YOll recall,
there was a piece of property south of Sever Peterson's down in the
southern part of Chanhassen that had SOl'le ravines and SOl'le natural areas
that we wanted to preserve that we felt we could get through the
developl'lent process so I wanted to point that one out as well.
Hasek: Is that the one at the end of Bluff Creek there at the park?
Mady: It's the one on pioneer Trail down there.
Sietsel'la: Yes. South of pioneer Trail. See this one is so old it doesn't
even have SOl'le of the Itlajor roads on here.
Hasek: It's old but it's the existing one.
(
.
Sietsema: It's the existing one. It's what we go by right now and I
wanted to, I have the reco~lendations frol'l what you had previously but I
wnated to put it all in one synopsis and then review the City and add
anything else that you I'light want to include. We don't necessarily need to
go through the neighborhood portion of it at this point in til'le. When we
get their first rough draft back and we see that this is going to
residential, then we can go in and say, if this is going to be residential
and it's going to be single fal'lily and it's going to be sewered, t~en we're
going to need parkland in that area. Those standards are upheld wlth our
Park and Rec Con~ission Meeting
Novenlber 28, 1989 - Page 19
.
subdivision process and through our ordinances but the biggest thing that's
most important is to get our linear and our community parks shown on here
so people know up front if where they nlake their first application, they
know up front that there's going to be parkland required and we ~ay require
an all or a portion of their land.
Hasek: Did I or did I not see a linear park plan on trails?
Boyt: There's a trail plan.
Mady: So what's going to happen here is you're going to be conling back to
us with a proposed ~ap of the City showing what the Planning CO~lission
feels at this point in ti~e the City is going to look like in the future?
Or what they want it to look like.
Sietsenla: Befol:e it goes to Planning, I want to pl:esent to thel'1 tha t thi s
is the areas that we know are going to need a cO~lunity park or we ~ay need
a cOl'lI'luni ty pal:k so they have tha t inforItlation. The big chunks, they have
that infor~ation up front. If they know that we need that 80 acres of the
Zin~erThan pl:operty up front, then they won't zone that residential. But
then we get it back again and look at it for neighborhood parks. We also
want to look at this fro~ putting our nature trails and that kind of thing.
Show those in there as well.
.
Mady: My concern I guess though is, this ~ight be, we could tell thel'1 kind
of the areas we're thinking about. We're basically saying we want to put
sOl'lething in the western part of the City but until we find Ol.lt where they
want to put their business fringe district, because we don't want to back
our park np to that. We want to find out what theil: thoughts are now
before we say okay, here's what. It's going to have to be a give and take
the whole way. We ShOllld find out what their thoughts are ini tially before
we start to plan ours. Then give it to them and they can come back to us
again. It's going to take 2 or 3.
Sietsel'la: It is going to take a conple but I was starting here because we
know big chunks of land that we can tell thenl right off the bat that we are
looking at for potential parkland. We may not acquire both the piece on
the west side of Minnewashta and the piece on the east side of Minnewashta
but we ~ay want to designate both of those on the land use plan so that we
have the option when they COITle up for development. I'~ just saying, let's
show them the big areas that we know of right now. We've discussed and we
know of right now. They'll review that. They'll put all their little
labels on all the different pieces and then we'll come back and make our
revisions. But it gives them an idea of what...
Mady: My concern was if we go first, they "light be doing something...right
after that and then it's going to be harder to change it.
Sietsenla: No, they're going to know right up front that we're looking at
this as a large chunk and we will be making revisions also as we see their
plan develop.
.

.
Hasek: I guess two things. I know what they're going through now and
I know that they're thinking about changing some of the things on there.
One thing they're looking at is changing the MUSA line that goes through
the middle of Lake Minnewashta and moving that back over to TH 41 and
taking that chunk inbetween there out of the MUSA line. That's one of the
draft lines that I saw and then moving the MUSA line down to TH 5.
Including that within the MUSA line. Making some changes so they can
develop along TH 212. Then there's a bunch of things that they're talking
about, they're real pre1 iIllinary at this point. A qllestion before I I'lake a
stateI'lent I guess. Are we still thinking about a cOIllmunity sized park west
of Lake Minnewashta or is that a neighborhood park? Is that supposed to
represent something or...
Hoffman: At least the property just north of Lake St. Joe.
Schroers: Mark had indicated that at some point in tiIlle we were going to
need another large cOIllmunity park in western Chanhassen.
Hasek: That's true. I guess I'm wondering though, do~we want to put it
west of Lake Minnewashta or do we want it east of Lake Minnewashta?
Boyt: Well we have two options.
Hasek: We have two stars in here, that's why I don't know if we need both.
.
.
SietseI'la:
either.
No, but I don't think we want to make that decision right now
Boyt: This keeps us open.
Hasek: Let's look jllst one point farther. If our point is to keep our
options open, then we might as well put 5 or 10 of thenl on here.
SietseIlla: Wi thi n reason. I Illean we could put a blanket over the whole
thing and say well all of it, we may want. We can't put something over the
south half of Cbanhassen and say we're going to want sOIllething in there but
we don't know quite where. We know. We've looked at a few different
places. We've looked at an addition to what we're purchasing now and we've
looked at that natural area over by Sever's property. We know we've looked
at the ZiIllIllerI'lan property and we have shown.
Hasek: Is ZiIllIllerman's this one?
SietseIlla: No. And we've expressed interest in the piece of property
that's for sale over on the west side of Minnewashta but just because right
now they said it's worth, that they're asking over a million dollars for
it, doesn't mean they're going to get it and doesn't mean that...
Hasek: I thollght that had been sold?
.
SietseIlla:
it.
It could have.
I don't know.
I haven't seen any plans in for
Park and Rec Cop~ission Meeting
Novefuber 28, 1989 - Page 21
.
Hasek: My understanding, and this Play be scuttlebutt Playbe but I think
that's one reason why the lliePlber of the Planning COI'"lPlission left is because
he's sOPiehow involved in the developPlent of that property.
Sietsenla: I don't know.
Mady: A question before we go too flluch further. I was under the
iPlpression that the land around Lake St. Joe, that whole area, there si~lply
isn't a large enough chunk to even consider it a cOPlPmnity park. It Plight
becofue a large neighbohrood park but it's siPlply not going to be 40-50-60
acre site and so if we identify the area as parkland but I don't think this
co~tission should be thinking in terp\s of a cOPlPlunity park because it's
sip\ply not going to be large enough to call it a cO~~lunity park.
Sietsepla: And we don't need to label it cOPlPluni ty or neighborhood. All
I'PI saying is that it's open space at this point. These are where I know
there are large chunks that we've talked about.
Mady: My concern was that he's throwing out cO~iunity park plan here and I
think it's not, that's not the terPl we want to be using there in that
particular case. Because it's probably not going to fit into our
definition.
Sietsema: Large park. In Lake St. Joe...
.
Mady: ...specific area we know we want to put a park in, we've already
identified. Whether it's going to be a neighborhood park or not. In the
rest of the City that's undeveloped yet, we haven't found specific sites
yet.
Hasek: Let's ask the question. What are the reco~~ended areas that you're
looking at adding to the existing park...
SietseItia: These are the recoPIP\ended that you've already Plade the
reco~iendation.
Hasek: And the CoP\p Plan hasn't changed to reflect it yet.
.
Sietsep\a: That's what they're doing now. They're reconfirPling that this
is where vour ideas are. These are still valid reco~~iendations and this is
what I'p\ going to send onto Planning as they go through the initial
process. They'll look at that and take that into consideration as they
make their amendments and it will be sent back to us for any final
revisions. At that point in time, we can see well, you have a large area
here that's shown for residential and it's really in a park deficient area.
Especially if i t beco~ies a sewered area and we're going to want some park
in that area. Whether we can identify that now or not, it doesn't preclude
us, it's just an opportunity for us to check our work. To double check, to
make sure that something doesn't slip through the cracks and we didn't get
a chance at it and we had planned to do something there.
Hasek: The level they're at right now and probably what we're going to get
a shot at isn't going to be that detailed. I think they're going to be

.
looking at basically the future land use plan without open spacing on it.
Am I right or wrong? What they're basically doing is they're going to take
that MUSA line and move the thing down and they're going to say, this
area's going to be all residential. This corner's going to be...between
Mark and the Planning DepartI1lent and the Planning COI1lI1dssion and SOI1le
decision is made on what the future cOI1lplexion of the City is going to look
like. I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better if we just simply waited and
say we want the opportunity to take a look at your plan so we can tell you
where we would like to put park space based upon your planning decisions.
Sietsema: We could do it that way.
Hasek: That'd make ~lore sense. Then we're not putting the cart before the
horse, so to speak. Doesn't that make sense?
.
Boyt: . . . he has 1,260 acres cOI1dng up wi th the population of 4,032. I
don't think that would include any multiple fa~lily dwellings at all in
those acres. That's 3.something people per acre and we've seen some pretty
packed developments come in here recently so 1'111 not sure if the nUItlbers, I
think the nuItlbers are a little on the low side of what they're going to be.
And when we're looking at our need for soccer, softball and baseball
fields, I wonder how our neighboring communities are planning to meet those
needs and I don't want to tell theItl what to do but I'd just like to knpw
because I know we're getting a lot of men in our softball program from
other cop~unities that are not providing for their people. If they
continue to not provide for their people, we're going to end up providing
for thePI so I'd like to know and I think we know which communities those
are.
Mady: Either that or we're just going to kick them out is the way it's
going to be. They'll have to make a decision to live wherever they can get
the services provided.
Lash: Is this like forever into the future? Is that what you're looking
at?
SietsePla: No, it'd be a 10 year. To the year 2000.
Lash: It sort of looks to me like in the south of TH 5, there's kind of a
gapping area there that has no stars and has no park now. And I'm sure
that mavbe not in our lifetime but sOItletime south of TH 5 is going to be
developed and there's going to be a ton of houses down there.
Sietsema: And that's exactly what I'm saying is that it wOllld come back
because then we would know where the MUSA line was going to be changing.
We'd know what kind of density is going to be in there and at that time we
can identify the areas that we're going to need in addition to what we're
already doing. I was just trying to go in. I know that they're going into
the planning stages and I wanted to let them know what we know so far. But
if we want to wait uAtil they get their blobs on the map and move the MUSA
line and then bring it back to us, we can do it that way too.
.
Park and Rec Co~~ission Meeting

.
Mady: They've already received or been inforl'led of these items because
they're already shown here because didn't we l'lake recomIllendations... to
that?
SietseIlla: Right and what I was going to do is, you've made the
reco~~lendations and I've known that they're going to revise the land use
plan so I haven't sent anything because I was going to send one
recomIllendation that these are the areas that we want. In talking to Paul,
he said well we're going to want you to review the whole thing and outline
where, so it's like we're being very proactive in this whole thing and
that's very good and I'm glad we're all thinking of that. It's just
whether we want to wait until we see their MUSA line and where the zones
are or if we want to let the~1 know what we know so far. I don't know that
it's going to make that much difference to theIlI at this point.
Boyt: Wo~ld Paul know?
Sietse~la: He doesn't really know if they're going to want to know that
inforl'iation.
Boyt: Well it's available fOl: the~1 if they want it. It's right here.
.
Mady: I don't see any problem with giving this information. I think just
so they fully understand that this does not even come close to reflecting
what our ideas are for the future. It just shows the things that werve
kind of hit on so far. We know that we're going to need until we find out
a good solid piece of information as to what's going to be developed and
what areas we sinlply can't provide the~1 wi th other or further information.
Sietsel'ia: Then what I can do is prepare a memo that says in the last 6
I'lonths the Park and Recreation COl'lmission has reviewed areas that are park
deficient. This is where we know we're going to be looking toward
cOl'~"mi ty parks or different parks and we'd like you to take that into
consideration as you start the anlendment process and keep us abreast and
let us review your al'lended land use plan as you get down there. So I will
do that.
Hasek: Can you take that one step farther and have Mark and Paul, who by
then ought to be real fal'iiliar with those areas that are going to be
l:esidential..., let them l'lake some suggestions to us about where we might
want to put our spots. I mean we can look at this thing, here's a nice
piece of property but I don't know what the land looks like...so I guess we
should let our planner tell us where the appropriate spots to put those
dots.
Sietsema: Makes sense.
Mady: Do you need a motion?
.
Sietsenla:
No.

BRANCHING OUT
A Publication of the NRPA Citizen-Board Member Branch
JANUARY, 1990
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
We just completed a very successful NRP A National
. Congress in San Antonio. In all, almost 500 CBM
members were among the 7,000 delegates and ex-
hibitors in attendance.
CBM had a great year in 1989 and now we are off
with exciting goals and plans for 1990. Don Bresnan
has promised to work on another book as a sequel to
his first. We even hope to have him on video.
Plans are being made now for the National Con-
gress to be held in Phoenix next October 12-16. I hope
you will make plans with your fellow board members
to join us. It will be a very enjoyable and productive
learning experience.
Those of you who were in San Antonio will receive
a letter and survey from CBM after January 1st. I en-
courage you to please take a few minutes to share
with us your evaluation of this year's convention so
that we can make Phoenix even better.
Other major goals for 1990 include:
1) increasing our branch membership by 5%
2) preparing a quilt to generate revenue for the
branch educational fund
3) assisting NRP A with its new citizen recruitment
project
4) preparing one new publication or video to serve
as an educational tool
5) preparing an outstanding program for board
members at the 1990 National Congress in
Phoenix

SAN ANTONIO CONGRESS
TRUSTEE ACTIONS
. Approved the formation of a commercial/resort
recreation section as the second special membership
section. This new section will cater to those in-
dividuals employed with commercial and resort bas-
ed recreation.
The aquatics section was organized just over one
year ago and now boasts approximately 700
members.
. Approved the expansion of the unified membership
project which has been conducted on a pilot basis in
the Great Lakes Region over the past 18 months.
This project enables state associations to assist
NRPA recruit new members and at the same time,
generate revenue for the state.
States which choose to -participate in this volun-
tary project will be awarded a $5 finders fee for each
new member recruited.
. Recinded policy action taken in May which would
have required delegates to the National Congress to
pay a $100 deposit on their conference housing at
the time of registration. A special review commit-
tee is being established to look for alternatives to
this particular policy.
The Trustees have been concerned that some in-
dividuals and states book rooms during the conven-
tion in "non-convention hotels" which has a finan-
cial impact on the association.

Anniversary. Members of NRPA and delegates attending tl

A special CBM committee is coordinating this project and
requesting the contribution of squares from as many membe
as possible. Each square should be 14" x 14". Agency logos, loc
or state emblems, scenic references and the like may be USt
in the squares. Hopefully, squares can be received from as mal
different states as possible.
Squares should be sent no later than July 1st to the CBM (
fice at 1285 Parker Road, Conyers, GA 30207-5957.
LEAD YOUR BOARD TO ACTION

the National Gold Medal Awards Program. This
prestigious award is presented annually to five
agencies in different population classes for ex-
cellence in the field of park and recreation
management.
Agencies must be nominated by a National Sporting
Goods Association Member Sporting Goods Store. The
deadline for nominations is March 1, 1990.
Brochures and nomination forms are available
through the CBM Office.
. Order copies of the NRPA 1990 Commerative Calen-
dar "America at Play" for members of your board
and as a special gift to the major corporate and in-
dividual supporters of parks and recreation in your
community.
This commerative calendar for 1990 is a pictorial
reflection of the history of parks and recreation in
America from 1896 -to 1924.
Order forms are available through the CBM Office.
NRPA MEMBERSHIP TOPS 21,000
The nationwide membership in NRPA surpassed the
21000 mark in October. The CBM Branch had a total
m~mbership of 6,262 which included individuals as
well as agencies. Of that total, about 5,800 are
individuals.
EXERCISE THE RIGHT CHOICE
In other action by the Trustees in October, NRPA
will launch an anti-drug campaign in 1990 emphasiz-
ing recreation as the right alternative to drug use.
Featuring the slogan, Excerise the Right Choice, the
campaign will consist of television, print and radio
advertisements. In addition, there will be regional
educational workshops for recreation and leisure
professionals.
Recreation and leisure professionals can and do play
a major role in curbing drug usage. However, the
visibility of this important role needs a great deal
more attention by the American public. This cam-
paign will be aimed at doing just that.
Lead your board to action by seeing that your agen-
cy takes advantages of this campaign in 1990 in your
community.
CBM BOARD TO MEET
IN NATION'S CAPITOL
The CBM Board of Directors will join the other
leadership groups of NRPA at the annual mid-year
planning meeting in Washington, DC February 7-11,
1990. The CBM Board Meeting will occur on Satur-
day, February 10th, beginning at 1:30 p.m.
Other activities that will take place while the group
is in the nation's capitol will be a legislative briefing
and also a congressional reception with members of
Congress.

Ice Damage to Diving Platform
rear Ms. Sietsema:
This letter will confirm our recent telephone conversation when we discussed the
above mentioned loss and claim involving the City's permanently installed diving
platform located in the designated swirmning area at the South end of take Ann
Park in Chan.~assen, which was discovered on or about April 15, 1989 to have been
damaged due to the effects of ice novement and wind.
Upon reviewing the City's insurance policy with Transcontinental Insurance
Canpany for coverage, we have unfortunately determined that the contract cannot
respond to this loss and claim. Referring you to the City's Building And
Personal Property Coverage form CPOOlO (11/85 a:iition), under Section A -
Coverage, Paragraph 2. - Property Not Covered, found on page 2 of the policy, it
states: "Covered Property does rot include:...j. Pilings, piers, wharves or
docks: .. . " . Simply stated, it is not the intent of the City's insurance policy
to cover wateroorne structures, such as, in this case, the diving platform.
With the above explanation in mind, we respectfully must advise you that we will
be unable to make any payments to the city for this loss and claim. If you have
any further questions, please call me. Thank you.

How To Write a
Municipal'ftee Ordinance
Tree City USA is a powerlul force for the promotion of
tree care and wban forestry. It is a program that has caught
the imagination of citizens, elected officials and urban tree
professionals. OYer 1,000 communities now Oy the Bag of
membership, a composite area that is home to some 60
million Americans.
At the heart of the Tree City USA program are four basic
requirements: The community must have (1) a tree board or
department, (2) an annual community forestry program
tEbaCked by the expenditure of at least $2 per capita for trees
, d tree care, (3) an annual Arbor Day proclamation and
observance, and (4) a tree ordinance.
In this special issue of 7ree City USA Bulletin, sections of a
model ordinance are presented, explained and illustrated
with actual examples. Not every section will be appropriate to
all communities, and there are others in use that are not
included in this general coverage of the topic.
The pwpose of this issue is to provide a starting point for
the thousands of communities that do not have an adequate
tree ordinance. Although an ordinance is only as good as the
administrative program that backs it up - including support
for education and, when necessary, enforcement - a
municipal tree ordinance and involvement in the Tree City
USA program are giant strides in the direction of healthier 11&
urban trees and a quality environment.
~~
John Roseno~ Executive Director
National Arbor Day Foundation
Why a lree Ordinance?
.
Ordinances reflect the values of a community, the values
its residents believe are worth protecting to maintain their
quality of life and an environment that is both safe and pleas-
ant. A community's trees. often called the "urban forest" are
wty much the kind of community asset that deserves to be
protected and managed for the common good.
A tree ordinance encourages beautification, air cooling
and purification, noise abatement, property value enhance-
ment and the other attributes of trees within a city. It also en-
ables citizens to prevent and control the spread of diseases,
to preserve trees in the path of development. and to avoid
unnecessaty costs associated with sewer clogging, sidewalk
replacement and tree-related accidents. An ordinance may
also give force and direction to professional tree care within
the municipality's work force and helps control unscrupulous
or careless operators.
Ordinances vary in length and complexity, but the key to
effectiveness is to write the ordinance simply. clearly and
tailored to the needs of your community. In the end, a tree or-
dinance is just another tool for proper tree care. Like any tooL
it needs to be of high quality, matched properly to the job, and
used with skill and care.
.
Behind the Model Ordinance
.
The ordinance sections and their descriptions that
follow are based largely on the work of Philip 1 Hoefer of
the Colorado State Forest Service. His compilation resulted
in a new publication. Municipal1ree Ordinance Manual,
that was developed by the Municipal Arborists and Urban
Foresters Society, a special interest group of the Interna-
tional Society of Arboriculture USA). The manual has been
published by ISA and supersedes its earlier publication, A
Standard Municipal1ree Ordinance, that has been widely
used since 1972. We gratefully acknowledge permission by
the author and the societies to use excelpts from their
publication. and we encourage you to obtain a copy of the
manual as referenced on page 8.
In its entirety, the manual consists of an introduction,
sections for possible inclusion in an ordinance, three
sample ordinances (one quite short, the other more com-
prehensive, and the 1972 standard ordinance), and a "stan-
dards and specifications" section. The latter consists of
detailed guidelines to arboricultural practices such as
planting and pruning. maintenance, removal, landscaping.
contracting, and similar activities that are important in any
community forestty program.
A standards and specifications section is recom-
mended as a separate but companion part of a municipal
ordinance. This is because including such a large amount
of detail directly in the ordinance itself is cumbersome and.
difficult to change. For greater flexibility it is better to keep
the ordinance brief. but to authorize the designated for-
estty body {board. commission or department! to promul-
gate rules. regulations. standards and specifications. These
can be published separately and revised as necessary. but
Z . TIlE! an USA IULLETIN NO.9. National Arl>or Day Foundation
still be subject to final approval by the city council or other
elected officials.
Importantly, each community has different circum-
stances that need to be addressed in an ordinance and its
accompanying standards and specifications. Use the model
ordinance sections and the ordinances of other commu-
nities as starting points for developing your own ordinance
or to revise one that is not working well. but add or delete
sections to match the unique needs and circumstances of
your community. Be sure to use the services of an attorney
to review or help write all drafts to assure that your final
product is legally sound as well as beneficial to the future
of your community's trees.
A workable ordInance
should be short.
Detailed performance standards
and specifications are best placed
In a separate document.
Suggested Sections for a Tree Ordinance
Although no two tree ordinances will be exactly alike, there are some basic elements that will
~elp assure that the document is workable and effective. These elements are caned sections, and
~ey are presented here with examples and principles that illustrate why each one is necessary.
I. PURPOSE
PRINCIPLE: An opening statement that clearly sets forth the pwpose of
~ the ordinance will help avoid ambiguity in interpretation. This initial
section is usually capitalized and in bold print.
Example: IT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS ORDINANCE TO PROMOTE AND
PROTECT THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, AND GENERAL WELFARE
BY PROVIDING FOR THE REGULATION OF THE PLANTING,
MAINTENANCE, AND REMOVAL OF TREES, SHRUBS, AND OTHER
PLANTS WITHIN THE CITY OF
A clearty atatec:l purpose
prevents mlslnterpret8tlon.
n. AurHORfIY AND POWER
PRINCIPLE: Someone within city government must have the clearly
designated authority'to administer the provisions of the ordinance. This
section defines, designates, or creates a department, board, commission,
or person responsible for the planting, care, and protection of the
city's trees.
Example: There is hereby created and established a City Tree Board for the City
of , which shall consist of five members, citizens and
residents of this city, who shall be appointed by the mayor with the
approval of the city council. Members of the board shall serve without
compensation.
[HOME RULE AUTHORITY: In order to avoid conflicts with state laws
governing trees, a statement transferring regulations to the city may be
necessary. State, county and city laws will explain this process. If needed,
the statement should be added as a section.]
m. TERM OF OFFICE
PRINCIPLE: Reasonable and clearly stated tenns of office for volunteer
boards or commissions will help infuse the program with new ideas on a
periodic basis and will help avoid the problems created by obstroctionists
with life or long-tenn tenure. This section defines length of selVice, a
method for filling vacancies, and the number of consecutive tenns (if any)
that can be served. Staggering tenns can help assure continuity and
stability.
A tree ordinance and tree
board or commlaalon usually
go hand In hand. Umltec:l and
staggerec:l terms of office lend
vitality and continuity to
. board.
Example: The term of the five persons to be appointed by the mayor shall be
three years, except that the term of two of the members appointed to
the first board shall be for only one year and the term of two members
of the first board shall be for two years. In the event that a vacancy
shall occur during the term of any member, his or her successor shall
be appointed for the unexpired portion of the term.

~.~..
-<'............
rn APPLlCABnnY
PRINCIPLE: This section is needed to make it clear what property is
covered by the ordinance. This usually includes trees on rights-of
public parks, cemeteries, and other public grounds, and sometimes ~
on private property.
Example: This ordinance provides full power and authority over all trees pIanls
and sh~bs located within street rights-of-way, parks and PUbl~ places
of the city; and to trees, plants and shrubs located on private property
that constiMe a hazard or threat as described herein.
~ DEFINITIONS
PRINCIPLE: To prevent misunderstanding, words that may be unfamiliar
to lay citizens should be defined If a standards and specifications
appendix accompanies the ordinance, many arboricultural tenns can be
placed there instead of in this section.
Examples of words or terms to define: arborist, contractor, city forester or rity
arborist, tree, public tree, priva!e tree, tree lawn, par1<way, right~-WIy.
easement, etc. ..
VI. LICENSING
PRINCIPLE: One way to protect trees and citizens from u-responsible
companies or individuals who pose as arborists is to require practilionen
to have a license. Conditions for obtaining the license may even require
that the person be a certified arborist. (See Bulletin No.6.) This section
provides licensing authority and includes details such as fees. frequency
of renewal. testing procedures, types of licenses, suspensions and appca
surety bonds. showing identification on equipment. etc.
Example: It shall be unlawful for any person to engage in the business 01 .
planting, cutting, trimming, pruning, removing, spraying, or o\herWl5l
treating trees, shrubs or vines within the City without first pr~
evidence of certification/license before the City. (An explanatJOfl 01
requirements and fees is then presented.)
VII. INSURANCE
PRINCIPLE: Arborists work under dangerous circumstances and ~
high value property. Since it is often difficult for homeowners to ~.an
whether property and tree workers are adequately cove~d, or to ansist on
such coverage. a provision in the tree ordinance can easily correct the
situation.
Example: Before any license shall be issued, each ~icant ~a~1 firSt file
evidence of possession of liability insurance In the mlnlloom ll/TlCKIO
of $300,000 for bodily injury or dea~ ~d $100,000 property ~
indemnifying the City or any person I~lured ~ damaged resu~
the pursuit of such endeavor as herein descnbed.
.
VIII. LANDSCAPING
PRINCIPLE: This section can assure that trees will be a part of new
developments. But planted vegetation can be an asset or a liability -
depending on what is planted and how it is done. This part of the
ordinance can define a process for having new landscape plans reviewed
and approved by the city forester or tree board, with the issuance of
building permits only after such a review
Example: In new subdivisions or when the development of commercial property
occurs, the city forester will review landscaping plans and may require
street trees to be planted in any of the streets, parking lots, parks and
other publiC places abutting lands henceforth developed and/or
subdivided.
IX. TREE PLANTING, MAINTENANCE,
AND REMOVAL
PRINCIPLE: Good tree care and management is possible only if people
have specific information about practices that result in safe, healthy trees
that contribute to a quality environment rather than create problems. The
purpose of this section is to provide that information in the form of
requirements. In many ways, it is the heart of a good ordinance. Actually,
the material in this section is best included in a separate standards and
specifications chapter, but placing it directly in the ordinance is an option.
Either way, all specifications should be reviewed at least every five years,
and should include such specifics as desirable and undesirable tree
species, spacing, pruning techniques, hazardous trees, sight obstruction,
and vandalism.
..
Examples:
Tree Species - The Town Tree Board develops and maintains a list Of
desirable trees for planting along streets in three size classes: small,
medium and large. A list of trees not suitable for planting will also be
created and enforced by the Tree Board.
Spacing - The spaCing of street trees will be in accordance with the
three species size classes listed in this ordinance, and no trees may be
planted closer together than the following: small trees, 30 feet; medium
trees, 40 feet; and large trees, 50 feet; except in special plantings
designed or approved by a landscape architect.
Utilities - No street trees other than those species listed herein as
small trees may be planted under or within 10 lateral feet of any
overhead utility wire, or over or within 5 lateral feet of any underground
water line, sewer line, transmission line or other utility.
Distance from Curb and Sidewalk - The distance trees may be planted
from curbs or curblines and sidewalks will be in accordance with the
three species size classes listed in Section _ of this ordinance, and no
trees may be planted closer to any curb or sidewalk than the following:
small trees, 2 feet; medium trees, 3 feet; and large trees, 4 feet.
Topping - It shall be unlawful as a normal practice for any person, firm,
or city department to top any street tree, park tree, or other tree on
public property. Topping is defined as the severe cutting back of limbs
to stubs within the tree's crown to such a degree so as to remove the
normal canopy and disfigure the tree. Trees severely damaged by
storms or other causes, or certain trees under utility wires or other
obstructions where other pruning practices are impractical may
be exempted from this ordinance at the determination of the City
Tree Board.

,. ftII an tlSAlVLU'I1N No.9. National Ari>or Day Foundation
X ADJACENT LANDOWNER RESPONSmILnY
PRINCIPLE: Quite naturally, homeowners often want to plant trees or do
work on trees that abut their property but are on a public right-of-way.
This section describes a process by which the homeowner can do the
work, but only in accordance with the sound principles of urban forest
management and arboriculture.
Example: No person shall plant, remove, cut above the ground, or disturb any
tree on any street, park, or other public place without first filing an
application and procuring a permit from the city forester. The person
receiving the permit shall abide by the standards set forth in this
ordinance.
XI. TREE PROTECTION
PRINCIPLE: Protecting existing trees is a major challenge. Therefore, more
and more progressive communities are using this section not only to
prevent insect and disease epidemics, but also to protect trees on both
public and private property from damage during constnlction.
Increasingly, another use of this section is to identify and protect trees of
historic value or unusual qualities (called landmark trees). Requiring
permits for all tree removals is one way to achieve these goals.
Example 1:
Upon the discovery of any destructive or communicable disease or
other pestilence which endangers the growth or health of trees, or
threatens to spread disease or insect infestations, the city forester shall
at once cause written notice to be served upon the owner of the
property upon which such diseased or infested tree is situated, and the
notice shall require such property owner to eradicate, remove or
otherwise control such condition within reasonable time to be specified
in such notice.
Example 2:
The following guidelines and standards shall apply to trees proposed (in
a developer's "tree protection plan") to be retained... (Rules are then
specified such as not grading or locating utilities within the tree's
dripline, placing protective barriers around trees, preventing siltation,
etc. Or, developers may be required to preserve a percent of forested
tracts, plant trees in open space, or pay into a county tree planting fund
so that there is no net loss of tree cover.)
Example 3:
The city forester shall have as one of his/her duties the location,
selection and identification of any trees which qualify as "Landmark
Trees." A tree may qualify as a Landmark Tree if it meets one or more of
the following criteria: (Criteria may include species rarity, old age,
association with a historical event or person, abnormality, scenic
enhancement, etc.)
XII. PRIVATE TREES
PRINCIPLE: Since trees on private property often affect the safety and
welfare of other trees and people other than the owner, a provision is
needed to allow community action in such cases. This section provides
authority to inspect private trees and designate them as public nuisances
when necessary.
Example: The city forester or his/her official designee has the authority to enter
onto private property whereon there is located a tree, shrub, plant or
plant part that is suspected to be a public nuisance. (Note: An
appropriate legal definition of a public nuisance is needed here, such
as any tree with an infectious disease or insect problem; dead or
dying trees; a tree or limb(s) that obstruct street lights, traffic signs,
the free passage of pedestrians or vehicles; a tree that poses a threat
to safety, etc. Also needed is a description of the legal process for
notifying property owners and causing abatement of the nuisance.)
.
XJII. PERMITS
PRINCIPLE: Permits provide a way to make certain that anyone who
plants, does work on or removes a public tree (and sometimes private
trees) is knowledgeable and capable of doing the job right. Permits also are
a means to assure compliance with standards and specifications, allow for
foDow-up inspections, and generally serve as a tool for enabling a
community to control the future of its urban forest.
Example: No person except the City Arborist, his/her agent, or a contractor hired
by the City Arborist may perform any of the following acts without first
obtaining from the City Arborist a permit for which no fee shall be
charged: (treatments and actions are listed, each one specifying
whether it applies to trees on public land or to any tree, public
or private).
Note: An example of a permit form is included in the MAUFSIISA
"Municipal Tree Ordinance ManuaL"
xru ENFORCEMENT
PRINCIPLE: For an ordinance to be more than a piece of paper, authority
must be given to the city forester or other official to enforce the provisions.
This includes the right to issue notices of violations, notices to perform
work and to stop work.
Example: The city forester shall have the power to promulgate and enforce rules,
regulations and specifications concerning the trimming, spraying,
removal, planting, pruning and protection of trees, shrubs, vines,
hedges and other plants upon the right-of-way of any street, alley,
sidewalk, or other public place in the city. (Details about the process of
rule-making, review and approval by the governing body, and
enforcement need to be included.)
)N PENALTIES, CLAIMS AND APPEALS
PRINCIPLE: Enforceable, meaningful ordinances must contain provisions
. for penalties and violations. Most cities have standard statements that will
. work in a tree ordinance, or one may be written specifically related to
trees. There needs to be a process for the city to do needed work if a
landowner fails to comply with an order; and an appeal route.
Examples: Violations - Any person who violates any provision of this ordinance
or who fails to comply with any notice issued pursuant to provisions of
the ordinance, upon being found guilty of violation, shall be subject to
a tine not to exceed $500 for each separate offense. Each day during
which any violation of the provisions of this ordinance shall occur or
continue shall be a separate offense. If, as the result of the violation
of any provision of this ordinance, the injury, mutilation, or death of a
tree, shrub, or other plant located on city-owned property is caused,
the cost of repair or replacement of such tree, shrub, or other plant
shall be borne by the party in violation. The replacement value of
trees and shrubs shall be determined in accordance with the latest
revision of A Guide to the Professional Evaluation of Landscape
Trees, Specimen Shrubs, and Evergreens, as published by the
International Society of Arboriculture.
Assessment of Claim - In the event that a nuisance is not abated by
the date specified in the notice, the City Arborist is authorized to
cause the abatement of said nuisance. The reasonable cost of such
abatement shall be filed as a lien against the property on which the
nuisance was located. In addition, the owner of the property upon
which the nuisance was located shall be subject to prosecution.
Appeals - (Include your municipality's standard appeals process.)
XVI. OTHER
Because circumstances vary so widely between municipalities, there may
. be other ~ections necessary to fashion an ordinance to the needs of your
com~urnty. .These range from sections that local government may require
in aJ.I Its ordmances (such as a severability clause that states that if any
&echon of the ordinance is found to be invalid or unconstitutional, it does
not affect,the validity of remaining sections) to how the urban forestry
program as to be financed. The ordinance must fit your town's needs.
Permits help make sure everyone knows
the rules and best pnlcUcea before
doing tree work.
The Iega' process to be used against
vIol8tora must be clurly spelled out.
Elich community's ordlnence must be
written to serve thet community's unique
needs end cIrcumstances.

Dear Wanda:
Thank you for your patience as I rounded up the old Jaycee group
to make a decision on their savings account funds. The group
finally decided to support the new Jaycees by donating the
enclosed $500 check to them. As the funds were raised to pro-
vide youth facilities at Lake Ann Park, the remainder of the
funds will be donated to the Chanhassen Park and Recreation
Department to purchase a fishing pier. The Park and Recreation
Department is developing a "Fishing Partners" program that will
bring children and senior citizens together to fish. The fishing
pier will provide a desirable spot for these partners to fish.
Good luck to you and the new Jaycees in your community ventures.
A group such as yours is an asset to the community. I look for-
ward to working with you on events in the future.
Sincerely,
~~

MEMORANDUM

.
As you are all aware, the City purchased a zamboni to resurface
the ice at the indoor rink. Since the indoor rink is no longer
available, and it cannot be used on the outdoor rinks as it has
a tendency to freeze up and must be stored in a heated facility,
staff is suggesting it be sold.
The zamboni was purchased jointly by the City and by Bloomberg
Companies for $5,000 with the agreement that they would be reim-
bursed for their share if it was ever sold. The agreement also
states that their share would decrease by 50% of the repairs if
such were to occur. Since that time, we have put roughly $1,500
into it (see attached list), making their share $1,750.
It is the recommendation of this office to authorize staff to
sell the zamboni for the best price avai and reimburse
Bloomberg Companies $1,750.
Recommendation
that
price of
The Park and Recreation Commission .unanimous1y
staff be authorized to sell the Zamboni with
$6,500 and to reimburse Bloomberg Companies $1,75

Lynch:
If we get something in writing.
Brad Johnson: The security interest has to be signed by both parties and we
can work that out with staff and review it next time. My concern is that
we've got a rink that we're trying to play on, we're trying to sell some
ice time so we can get it used and either we don't have a zamboni or we do
have a zamboni. The guy who owns the zamboni could have sold it three
times that we've been waiting for some kind of decision. We're trying to
do what we can and we perceive, I've got a Bloomberg hat on, that we're
partners and if the problem is you don't have the cash at this particular
point to do the transaction, we could supply it. Just that we didn't want
to write it off. If we could figure out some soft way of solving that
problem, that's what we would do. It's your machine and what Mike said, if
we have a catastrophy, we'll take a reduction in it. Maybe there's
something we can figure out. I just can't in the next month or two find
the $2,500.90 of the Association. We have a fundraiser specific to pay
back the City for that item I don't know.
Robinson: But you've had the machine since last January? 11 months?
Brad Johnson: Yes.
.
Robinson: And we got it brought before us 2 weeks ago that we had to make
a decision in 3 days. That was another one of my objections~
Brad Johnson: If we could finally figure out a vehicle with which to do
it. If funds became available.
Mady moved, Schroers seconded to reconsider the motion of November 24, 1987
regarding purchase of the zamboni. All voted in favor except Curt Robinson
who opposed and motion carried.
Mady moved, Schroers seconded that the Park and Recreation Commission
recommends to purchase the zamboni machine based upon the following
conditions:
1. Staff work with the present owner of the machine and have the
zamboni certified that the major components, i.e. hydraulic
system, engine system, are checked over. Checking compression and
other various tests to insure that the zamboni is in good
operating condition.
2. The zamboni be operated by trained, qualified staff of the City.
3. The City accept the security interest from Bloomberg Companies in
the amount of $2,590.00 and Bloomberg Companies will allow their
security interest to be reduced by a 59' share .for an~ majo~
repairs that may become necessary during the tIme perIod whIch the
security interest is outstanding.

4. The City retains the right to buyout the security interest at any
point in time.
5. The Bloomberg Companies will agree to install insulation to solve
the condensation problem if the zamboni does not alleviate that
problem.
All voted in favor except Robinson who opposed and motion carried.
Schroers: Do we add about the insulation in the event that the zamboni
isn't able to totally solve the problem with the dripping, that either the
Bloomberg Companies or the Association take the responsibility for doing
the needed insulation repairs to stop the condensation and the dripping?
Lynch: If we did that and proceed on the purchase, we would have to have a
letter from either Bloomberg or the Association that said exactly that.
Rich Larsen: That's not a problem for the Association.
Schroers: Can we just have a good faith commitment from you?
Lynch: Like the man said, my word is my bond but I'd rather.have it in
writing. I think we have to have that.
.
Schroers: What I'm getting at is if we make the decision to make this
investment to hopefully provide a quality facility, that that's what we
want to -end up with. It may take something more than just the zamboni to
have a real nice surface. We may need to have the condensation problem
corrected.
Mady: Okay, then the proviso would be that the Bloomberg Companies would
agree to work with the City and if the condensation problem is not
alleviated through the use of the zamboni., that they would be made to work
to repair the condensation problem with the building.
Sietsema: I just wanted to let you know that Lake Ann Park is closed right
now. Apparently there was some vandalism done. People did some little
circles, donuts in the grass and tore up the grass.
Dale Gregory: The pOlice a week ago caught somebody out there just driving
all ove.r the place and down towards the lake where the new area is put in,
they just literally cut off and ripped the heck out of it.
Lynch: Four wheeling?
Dale Gregory: I don't know if it was a 4 wheet drive or what it was but
they just spun allover out there and they've got ruts allover the place.
.. Lynch: They caught the people?
