SUBJ: Master Park Plan for Carver Beach Park
This item is being placed on the agenda to brainstorm as to how
the linear park along the west side of Lotus Lake should be
developed. The Commission has had tentative plans to improve
this park since the old boat access was removed. Since that
time, the Commission has heard from the residents in the area
. that improvements are needed.
Residents from the Carver Beach are have been invited to attend
our meeting to share their ideas. Again, this is a brainstorm-
ining session. Staff will then take the ideas expressed and
develop a concept plan. The Commission and residents will have a
chance to review the concept plan and make any changes before a
final plan is done and forwarded for approval to the City
Council.

Comprehensive Trail Plan calls for sidewalks
along thru streets and a trail along Powers
Boulevard.

BACKGROUND
This proposal lies just west of the West Village Heights
Apartments. The development will require the extension of an
access road to West Village Heights. The Comprehensive Trail
Plan calls for sidewalks along all through streets. Given the
high density in this development and development to the west, the
sidewalk should be considered.
Currently the access road to West Village Heights Apartments is a
private service road. When Oakview Heights Apartments are
constructed, the City will improve the portion of the street
through the existing development and the developers of this pro-
posal will construct the new portion. A 50 ft. street right-of-
way is being proposed. As the street will be 36 ft. wide, an
additional 10 ft. trail easement should be obtained to accom-
modate the sidewalk.
As noted, this application is for a PUD, the City Code requires
the developer to go above and beyond the minimum requirements to
received PUD approval. Although the development lies within the
service area of City Center and Chan Pond Parks, it is likely to
attract young families. Therefore, there will be a need for
park/recreational facilities in the immediate vicinity to serve
these future residents. ~ tot lot area is recommended similar to
what is attached. As this development is seeking PUD approval,
no park credit would be recommended.
RECOMMENDATION
It is the recommendation of this office to require that a 10 ft.
trail easement be dedicated and a 5 ft. wide sidewalk be
constructed along Jenny Lane, and an 20 ft. wide trail easement
be dedicated with an 8 ft. wide trail constructed along Powers
Boulevard. It is recommended that 100% of the trail dedication
fee be credited for the trail and sidewalk construction and ease-
ments. Additionally, it is recommended that the city require the
attached totlot equipment be installed and that park dedication
fees be required.

SUBJ: South Parkland
Al Klingelhutz is assisting the City in finding available land in
the southern part of the City for potential parkland acquisition.
He has done a lot of research in this area and found the
availability of land is limited and land costs are much higher
then anticipated.
.
At the last Park and Recreation Commission meeting, Al identified
3-4 parcels that are available and would like to take the
Commission and any Council members interested out to those sites.
As weekends were difficult to coordinate, staff has scheduled the
tour on Thursday, April 13th. We will meet at City Hall at 5:45
p.m. Please wear footwear for mud and appropriate outer wear.

Dear Mr. Chmiel:
For the past three summers, the Carver County Historical Society has been offering
a week-long series of proqrams for children aged 4 to 8. The series, "The Way We
Were," has been so popular that for the past two years we have had to offer both
a morning and an afternoon session. Because of the staff time it requires, however,
we have only been able to offer the series for one week each summer, and only at
the museum in Waconia.
This summer, however, we may be able to offer this popular program to your community's
children, at a location right in Chanhassen as we take the program "on the road"
around the county. Up to 50 children from your community could benefit from this .
educational and entertaining series. We can accommodate a maximum of 25 children
per session, and we can offer both morning and afternoon sessions each week.
The program consists of five 90-minute segments, one each day Monday through
Friday. Each day, the participants learn about a different pioneer activity through
hands-on activity. They make butter, bread, and candles, carry water and do laundry,
and go to school. Every day they bring something home to show their families, and
every day they enjoy a snack of pioneer foods.
We would like to hold this program for a week at a location in your community.
The Carver County Historical Society will take care of the entire program in return
for a fee of $250 a week (which includes 1 or 2 sessions per day, depending on demand)
and the use of a suitable room or location which you arrange. Each participant
will also pay a registration fee of $12 per week (or $10, for the children of CCHS
members). We will schedule locations on a first come--first served basis.
Please call me to reserve a week of this program in your community, or if you
have any questions about this program or the arrangements. Give the children of
your community the benefit of this popular summer program.
Cordially,
~o.. (}1 ~ ~I

Dear Lori:
As the new owner of a larger portion of land on the South
shore of Lake Susan, Rosemount Inc. is very interested in
the proposed plans for the Lake Susan Park. Unfortunately
no one was able to attend the pUblic hearing on March 28th,
1989. I would be most grateful if you could send me a copy
of the minutes of the Park & Recreation Committee meeting
for that night, as they pertain to Lake Susan.
.
Thank you in advance for your assistance. If there is a
problem in fulfilling this request, could you call me at
828-3000.

Dear Lori:
As a part of the completion of the plans for the walkway/trail
along Carver Beach Road, we have reviewed the issue of realigning
the park entrance. The new walkway will cross Carver Beach Road
at the southeast corner of the park making this location the
logical choice for the relocation of the entrance. Based on
previous discussions with the Park Commission, it is assumed that
the new entrance will consist of a paved walkway, plantings and
signage.
Realignment of the entrance is complicated by the existence of a
chain link backstop in the extreme southeast corner of the park.
In order to create a proper entrance, the backstop should be moved
to another portion of the park property. Unfortunately, this will
also require relocating an ag-lime infield area.
Because of the location of the backstop, it is our recommendation
that the City not create a formal entrance to the park at this
time. In lieu of a paved and landscaped entrance, it is suggested
that the plans merely show an opening in the fence in the southeast
corner similar to the existing park entrance. If the ball field
is relocated in the future, the full entrance treatment can be

MEMORANDUM
TO: Don Ashworth, City Manager
FROM: Scott Harr, Asst. Public Safety Director
DATE: March 28, 1989
SUBJ: Eurasion Water Milfoil
Don, this memo is to provide you with a brief update as to the
status of city efforts to deal with this apparent weed infiltra-
tion. Lotus Lake Homeowner Association representative Steve
Decatur has picked up the ball and is running with it,
requesting assistance from the city.
I did meet with Mr. Decatur, as well as a DNR Representative and
a representative from Lake Restoration Incorporated. The purpose .
of this meeting was to brainstorm ideas, as well as to identify
the concern.
The basics that Mr. Decatur is proposing are:
1. A co~nunity educational program;
2. Signing of access points;
3. A contingency fund for chemical eradication once the weed
is identified.
Frankly, the concern sounds very legitimate, and I think the city
would be well advised to establish a plan. Mr. Decatur is
putting a good deal of effort into assisting with plans, and
prior to taking any action, I will meet with you for your advise
on what direction to go.

working with you. Typically new members meet with me to review
current issues and answer any questions you may have. Please
contact me at 937-1900 if you are interested in doing so.

The Park and Recreation Commission meets on the second and fourth
Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers. The
week before each meeting, staff prepares an agenda with a packet
of background information. You should receive the packet on the
Saturday before the meeting. Please review the information prior
to the meeting so that you will be prepared to discuss each item.
The next meeting is Tuesday, April 11, 1989. We will be holding

Attached please find a proposal for an Eagle Scout Project by
Scott Dummer. The project involves constructing a 24 ft. bridge
over the wet channel on the southwest side of Chanhassen Pond
Park.
The total cost estimate of the project is $1,750, a figure Scott
feels is conservatively high. Upon approval, Scott plans to e
begin construction this spring.
Scott has discussed his project in detail with staff. It is the
reco~~endation of this office to approve the project as proposed
and to adjust the 1989 Capital Improvement Program Budget to
include expenditures up to $2,000.
/
Park and Recreation Commission Update (4-5-89 )-'7.
The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed Scott s proposal at
their March 28, 1989 meeting. The Co~~ission felt this project
would enhance the usefulness of the park and felt Scott's cost
estimates were reasonable.
The funds were not allocated in the 1989 Capital Improvement
Project budget for this project. During preparation of the 1989
Budget, it was anticipated that the trail referendum would be
approved. If such had occurred, it was felt that an access to
the Bluff Creek Trail system would be necessary. As the referen-
dum failed, and trail development in that area will not occur
immediately, the Commission felt the $10,000 for access should be
reallocated.
The Park and Recreation Commission acted to recommend approval of
Scott DU~~er's proposal to construct a bridge at Chanhassen Pond
Park and to adjust the 1989 Capital Improvement Project budget to
reallocate $2,000 of the $10,000 for Bluff Creek access to this
Eagle Scout project. The motion carried unanimously.

BENEFITS FROM MY EAGLE PROJECT (BRIDGE AT POND PARK)
1989
I think my project will benefit the community by
completing the foo~~ath around the trail in Pond Park. This
'I
is especially critical during high water periods such as
springtime. This project will also be a benefit as the Park
Maintance Staff will be able to use this bridge to cross the
marsh area to mow both sides of Pond Park.

REGULAR MEE'rING
MAR:::H 28, 1989

Chairman Mady called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m..
MEMBERS PRESENT: Sue Boyt, Curt Robinson, Jim Mady, Dawne Erhart, Larry
Schroers and Ed Hasek
STAFF PRESENT: Lori Sietsema, Park and Rec Coordinator and Todd Hoffman,
Recreation Supervisor
APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Schroers moved, Robinson seconded to approve the
Minutes of the Park and Recreation Commission meeting dated March 21, 1989
as presented. All voted in favor and the motion carried.
PRESENTATION OF EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT PROPOSAL, SCOTT DUMMER.
Sietsema: Scott Dummer is here to present his Eagle Scout project and I
think I'll let him just go right into it.
Scott Dummer: My name is Scott Dummer and I'm from Chanhassen Boy Scout
Troop 330 and I'm working on my Eagle Scout project and I need your
approval so I can go onto City Council. What I have been working on with
Lori and Me Gregory, maintenance equipment bridge. It's a 24 foot .
bridge. Three equal sections. 6 feet wide. The middle section centered
over. a 4 foot channel and a foot off the ground will be able to hold a
minimum of 1,000 pounds. Consist of 8 support posts. Two each on both
sides. A channel with a dirt ramp on each end and this will be located in
the southwest corner of Chanhassen Pond Park. It's on the east side of
Kerber Blvd.. The benefits from it will be that hikers can get...through
the marsh anymore and it will benefit the City because maintenance staff
will be able to cross easier across the bridge and mow both sides of the
pond quicker. Otherwise they're going to have to go back and swing back
and go on the other side. The building materials, I've got all the
...costs on it, an estimation of $1,750.00 plus or minus $200.00. Right
now I've priced out all the lumber and metal hardware use for it so it
will come to about $525.00 plus delivery which is $24.00 but I still have
to price out the cost of what a cubic yard of concrete plus delivery and
maybe any other tools that I might need to rent like a power generator to
bring down there and stuff but it might be underneath that. That's why my
price is different with that margin of error. That's it.
Schroers: When do you plan to get started on this Scott?
Scott Dummer: As soon as I get it approved from the City Council and
I plan on working on it as soon as the ground, the frost is out so you can
dig.
Boyt: Do you know approximately how long the project will take?
Scott Dummer: I'm planning on g~tting it done in two weekends. I'm gOing.
to be digging the holes and pourlng the concrete I think the first weekend
and then the next weekend I can get the assembly and the building done.
p:nk and R2C Commission i12eting
March 29, 1.)89 - Pag.~ :2
.
It will be done before school is out which is before June.
Mady: Do you have any idea how high the bridge is actually going to be
raised above the ground level?
Scott Dummer: It's 1 foot and it's back down to the pond by, Dale and I
figure it's about 10 feet back from the original water line right now so
if it does flood, there won't be any problem.
Mady: Do you have any idea how long you're going to extend the ramps?
It's fairly marshy down there?
Scott Dummer: It's actually, that part what we're doing is it's fairly
marshy but it's got black dirt on it. It doesn't really say on our
blueprint but I figure about 3 or 4 feet.
Sietsema: What is needed here is an approval of the project and also a
recommendation to do a budget adjustment. If you'd like, I can go over
how we would accomplish that. As you recall, when we were talking about
adjusting the budget, we talked about the Bluff Creek access road which we
have $10,000.00 in the budget. At the time that that was put into the
budget, we were anticipating that the trail plan funding would go through
on the referenedum. Since it did not go through, it would be premature
to put an access road in at this point in time at that location and I
.WOUld suggest that we recommend that we transfer some of that money into
an Eagle Scout project or ta~e that out of the budget all together and
~llocate $2,000.00 of that money to the Eagle Scout project. So again,
what is needed is for Scott to proceed is a recommendation to approve the
project and to adjust the budget.
Schroers: I'll make that recommendation to approve Scott's plan and
recommend that it goes onto the City Council and amending the budget. To
allocate the funds, transfer them to where they can be used for Scott's
project.
Mady: Do you need that in two separate motions Lori?
Sietsema: No. If it's alright with you I'd like to word it, to allocate
$2,000.00 of the $10,000.00 for the Bluff Creek Access Road to this
project.
Mady:
I'll second it.
Schroers moved, Mady seconded to approve the Eagle Scout project as
presented by Scott Dummer. and recommend that it go onto the City Council.
Also, to allocate $2,000.00 of the $10,000.00 for the Bluff Creek Access
Road to this Eagle Scout project. All voted in favor. and the motion
carried.

SUBJ: 1989 Capital Improvement Program Budget Adjustment Request
The Park and Recreation Commission received a request to install
basketball hoops on the tennis courts at North Lotus Lake Park.
The Commission felt that such would increase the usage of the ten-
nis court area and were in favor of the request until such time that
the 2 uses conflict, at which time the construction of a basket-
ball court will be necessary.
In a previous memo the Commission recommended that funds allo- .
cated for the Bluff Creek access be used for Scott Dummer's
$2,000 Eagle Scout Project. Similarly, they felt that the
remaining $8,000 should be reallocated so as to be available for
unbudgeted items such as the basketball hoops at North Lotus,
future Eagle Scout Projects, etc.
It is the recommendation of the Park and Recreation Commission to
reallocate the $10,000 for the Bluff Creek access as follows:
$ 2,000
$ 1,200
$ 6,800
$10,000
Scott Dummer's Eagle Scout project
Basketball Equipment for North Lotus Lake Park
Miscellaneous Future Unforeseen Requests
The motion carried unanimously.
Manager's Comment: This office interprets the above request as
one which would specifically set a miscellaneous account through
which future recommendations for allocations could be considered.
Even though the budget amount would be set, each recommendation
for specific usage of the funds would require City Council
action. Should the City Council act to approve this item, I
will take the position that my interpretation of the request will .
be required to be followed unless the Council modifies such.

Dear Lori,
As per our phone conversation today this Is a formal request
for a basketball court to be et:>>tablished at the North Lotus
Lake Park. As we discussed, the minimum requirement for a
basketball court would be a pole, backboard, hoop and a net.
The actual basketball court would be the tennis courts
already in place. This shared court construction is already
In place at a number of parks in Eden Prairie (e.g. Duck Lake
Park on Duck Lake Trail). I have attached a rough layout of
what it would look Ii ke for an installed court.
If there Is any concern of overcrowding on the 'shared'
court, rest assured that traffic at the tennis court is
almost nonexistence, and the stamina of we "future first
round draft picks" is at the level of a coach potato,
i.e. so our games would be short.
Finally, there is a number of us Fox Hollowians that would
volunteer our labor in the installation of the basketball
cou rt.
Thank you for considering this proposal and I would
appreciate a response at your earliest convenience. Any
questions please call.

L.A. Lakers (Lotus Area) or the TlmberFoxes?!
