US FROM: DATE: May 3, 1990 SUBJ: Request to Amend the 1990 Capital Improvement Project to Include Additional Facilities at Curry Farms Park I recently received a letter from Bruce Kotzian requesting that the city amend the 1990 capital Improvement project Budget to include further development of Curry .Farms Park (see attached). In response, I have scheduled a meeting with the Curry Farms neighborhood to discuss prioritization of park amenities in the park plan (see attached). The 1990 CIP Budget includes funds to redesign City Center Park and add $40,000 in playground equipment. The Community Center Task Force has recently acted.to recommend that the City Council authorize a referendum for a community center at that site in November. As it would be premature to redesign the park without knowing whether a community center will be approved, those funds will not be expended in 1990. The Curry Farms residents have played an active role in having funds donated by the developer to purchase the first phase of playground equipment. Additionally, this development is near completion with a significant number. .. of young children residing there. As funds are available in the 1990 budget that will not likely be expended this year, it would not have a significant impact on the budget to redirect a portion of those funds to this park. Staff will present a final recommendation to the Commission on Tuesday evening pending the outcome of the neighborhood meeting on Monday evening. Please feel free to attend the Monday meeting. . . 1340 Stratton Court Chanhassen, "N 55317 April 23, 1990 City of Chanhassen Chanhassen City Council P.O. Box 147 649 Coulter Drive Chanhassen, "n 55317 Attention: Lori Sietsema RE: Curry Farms Park Dear Commissioners: It is my understanding that during the budget meetings, that there were no funds allocated to Curry Farms Park for the fiscal year 1990. I would hope the . City Council would reconsider this allocation of funds. Curry Farms development is 99X completed with 80 homes, and there are well over 125 children in the neighborhood, with 60 children under the age of 5 years old. Last year the City of Chanhassen, along with Centex homes, installed Phase I of the Tot Lot. With the numbers of small children, we are in dire need of Phase II to be added to the Playcenter. Along with the Playcenter, the residents of Curry Farms are expressing a need to complete the walkway around Curry Farms Parks, which connects to the city trail system. I would like the City Council to consider addressing this item in your meeting slated for "ay 8, 1990. The children of Curry Farms would like to thank you for your quick action in installing Phase I of the Tot Lot, and would hope together, we can continue with the development of Curry Farms Park.

I agree, additional facilities in a neighborhood with so many children is needed. The 1990 budget has been adopted by the City Council and mid-year reallocations are not typical unless additional sources of revenue are available. Such funding may be available, however, staff would like to discuss facilities with the members of your neighborhood to determine which park facilities are the highest priority for the area residents. I have scheduled a meeting with the CUrry Farms residents for Monday, May 7, 1990 at 7:30 p.D. in the Courtyard Conference Room at City Hall. I will schedule this item for the May 8, 1990 Park and Recreation Commission meeting. At that meeting, I will present the recommendation of the residents to the Commission. The following is a tentative schedule: May 7, 1990, 7:30 p.m. Neighborhood Meeting, Courtyard Conference Room May 8, ~990, 7:30 p.m. Park and Recreation Commission meeting May 14, 1990 City Council meeting<.

FAX (612) 937-5739 May 1, 1990 Dear Curry Farms Homeowners: The Park and Recreation Department recently received a request from a resident in your area to amend the 1990 Capital Improvement Budget to include funding for additional park development at Curry Farms Park. Before presenting this request to the Park and Recreation Commission, staff felt a meeting with the neighborhood residents should be held to determine which park amenities hold the highest priority. The first phase of the playground equipment has been installed at Curry Farms Park. This year the park will be reseeded and have a sand volleyball court installed. The Master Park Plan also includes the following: . Softball field Tennis Court Basketball Court Phase II Playground Equipment Trail/Walking Path $ 3,000 15,000 7,000 7,500 10,000 This is to notify you that a Curry Farms neighborhood meeting will be held on Monday, May 7th at 7:30 p.m. in the Courtyard Conference Room at City Hall to prioritize park amenities. The Park and Recreation Commission is scheduled to review the request to amend the 1990 budget to include funding for Curry Farms Park at their meeting of Tuesday,.MayBthat 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers. You are invited to attend both meetings as pUblic input is encouraged. Please feel free to call meat,937"'1900>if you have any questions.

Approval of Fourth of July Band Contract e Attached please find an engagement contract between the City of Chanhassen and the Hi-Tops. The Hi-Tops have been contracted to provide the entertainment for th~ 1990 Fourth of July Celebration street dance. Another band called Bob and the Beachcombers were contacted, but were unavailable for the night of the street dance. The Hi-Tops continue to be the best entertainment value we can find. They have provided great performances the past four years. The street dance is scheduled for Tuesday evening, July 3, at City Center Park adjacent to City Hall. It is staff's recommendation to accept the contract for the Hi-Tops to perform at the 1990 Fourth of July Celebration street dance in the amount of $1300.00, an increase of $100.00 over last years performance. --1i{ Update (5-3-90){f It has been two months since this item was first presented to the commission. The reques~ from the commission to change the rain-out date to Friday, July 6 instead of Wednesday, July 4 cannot be met by the, band. . IrLthe unfortunate scenario that bad weather would occur on both July 3 and 4, we would have to make the best of the situation presented to us. As it would be virtually impossible to find a band for a JulyS play date at~this time, and a miracle would be required to find one with July 3,,;'4 or 6 open, it is staff's recommendation to accept the en9agement contract with the Hi-Topps as written. e CITV OF ~lcP~ CHAHHASSEH 690 COULTER DRIVE. P.O. BOX 147. CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937.1900. FAX (612) 937-5739 MEMORANDUM TO: Gary Warren, City Engineer FROM: Lori Sietsema, Park and Recreation Coord inato 'Z;, DATE: May 1, 1990 Lake Ann Park Expansion SUBJ: As we have discussed, I am becoming more and more perplexed with the lack of progress at Lake Ann Park. This project was supposed to be completed last July 1st and ten months later it is not close to completion. I have repeatedly expressed my concern that grass be established on the ball fields so that games can be scheduled in the spring of 1991. It was made clear that such was a priority last spring when construction began, last summer when things were delayed, last fall when seed was not put down until October, and again this spring when the seed that was planted was obviously blown and washed away. Now further delays are imminent as the ground must first dry out before reseeding can take place. Below please find a list of items that need to be addressed that both Laurie McRostie and Jay Hembroff are aware of. 1. The entire seeded area needs to be reseeded as soon as possible. This is especially important on the ball fields if enough grass is to be established to allow field use next spring. I feel the fields should be mulched to protect the seed as much as possible and that the amount of seed should be above standards to ensure thick growth. 2. The entire area needs to be ~egarded as there are gullies and wash-outs throughout. 3. The sod around the ag lime infields needs to be made flush with the seeded areas. 4. The drainage on the sight needs to be addressed. Standing water between and along the side of fields in traffic and spectator areas is not acceptable. I believe Imperial . e,. . . . . . Mr. Gary Warren May 1, 1990 Page 2 Developers reworked one of the areas, but it is obvious that water still collects in those areas (see map). Additionally, water is not being directed to the swale next to the soccer field and such should be corrected. 5. Ag lime needs to be added in bench areas adjacent to fields and the existing sod removed. 6. Landscaping has not occurred. 7. The site needs to be cleaned up as erosion has filled swales and covered sodded areas. In these areas the sod should be replaced. 8. There has been a considerable amount of gravel and mud that has been washed into the parking areas and roadways. Such should be removed. 9. The ballfields should be re-shot to determine that the ballfields are still level and have retained the standard degree of slope. I have met with Dale Gregory and he has concurred with the above list and concerns. I would like Imperial Developers to establish a schedule or time line that outlines how they plan to complete this project. To date I have not been convinced that this is a priority project for them. Please let me know if you need additional information. cc: Laurie McRostie, OSM ~\~~ Martin Schmidt 6843 Rolling Acres Rd. Excelsior, MN 55331 04/24/90 . To Lory Sietsema: I am writing this letter to finalize the completion of my Eagle Scout project. My project intai1ed the building of four bluebird and four wood duck houses, two nesting platforms for geese, and a placement map. The bluebird and wood duck houses I placed at the pond. I placed the placement map at the observation platform. The nesting p]atfor~s were put in a shed at lake Ann park. The maintainence of my project is relitively simple. The bluebird houses should be cleaned in April and when the young bluebirds-leave the nest it should be cleaned again. For the wood duck houses it is recommended that about 3 . inches of sawdust and wood chips be placed at the bottom of the house. The nesting platforms should be placed in about four feet of water. Wild hay or grass should be p]ac~d in the platform. The placement plaque needs no maintence. I would greatly appreciate a letter from you saying that I have completed the project and saying the benefits my project gives. T~~~. ~ &,~c'=.& ... -.-.J .
