'. ":::-..t;"_'<:"'"",o,;,,~ Attached please find a letter from Torn Boyce of Centex Homes regarding their willingness to make improvements on Curry Farms Park. Their proposal is to do the grading of the park, seed it, put in the volleyball court and donate $2,500.00 for tot lot equipment. In exchange they are asking that the City maintain the grass, install volleyball net and poles, and match the funds for the totlot equipment. . Centex Homes plans to have their construction in the Curry Farms development completed by the end of the year. Therefore, they will not be offering to do this work or make this monetary contribution next year. As this is not in the 1988 budget, and this is a relatively new park, staff would not typically recommend a budget adjustment. However, considerable staff time and money would be saved in the long run by having Centex do this work. If the Park and Recreation Commission wishes to approve this request, it should be recommended that the City Council approve the expenditures of some of the funds originally allocated for the Bluff Creek access. $6,800 remains of that allocation. Update: May 16, 1989 The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the proposal sub- mitted by Centex Homes at their meeting. The Commission felt this was a generous offer and ~ere impressed that this developer was willing to assist the City' in park development. The Park and Recreation Commission unanimously acted to recommend that the City accept the offer to grade and seed the park, dig out a volleyball area and fill it with sand, and the donation of $2,500 for totlot equipment. Additionally, the Commission recom- . mended that the conditions of the offer be accepted as well, i.e. . . . Centex Homes May 16, 1989 Update Page 2 re-seed in the fall if the seed does not germinate, install volleyball poles and net, and match the $2,500, for a total budget allocation of $3,000. The residents from the area asked that the City allocate more than the $2,500. However, the Commission felt the 1989 budget was already constrained and plan to allocate funds for 1990. ..OSeI.IUIW 'U8...lfU8lIO 10 .<uo NV1d .Ld3ONOO ~~Vd S~~V~ A~~nO /F~'" \~ \\ \\ \\ \ \ \ \ 'I \ I), I , , I I ------ - /' ~I . . ) ) } ) . .

Box 147 649 Coulter Drive Chanhassen, MN 55317 c/o Lori Sietsema Re: CURRY FARMS PARK . Dear Commissioners: It is my understanding that at your last regular meeting the Board delayed any improvements to the Curry Farms Park until 1990 due to a lack of Park improvement funds. Centex realizes the severe financial constraints that the Metropolitan area cities are faced with. Centex Homes prides itself in being more than just a home builder, a land developer or mortgage company but a builder of neighborhoods with a long term committment to the cities, states and neighborhoods we help plan and develop. Centex obviously has a special interest in development of the Curry Farms Park. While we have no legal obligation to help develop the park, we would like to offer the following, provided the city is willing to agree to our donation terms. 1. Centex will regrade and reseed the Park area. If the seed does not sufficiently germinate this summer the city will reseed in the fall of 1989. 2. Centex will dig out the proposed volleyball court and fill with sand. provided the city supplies and installs the posts and nets. 3. Centex will donate $2,500.00 to the city for play area equipment provided the city agrees to at least match our play equipments contribution, and installs the equipment at the Curry Farms Park. .

The batting cage is needed so that ball players can practice hitting balls using the pitching machine. As the pitching machine requires electricity, it is necessary for the batting cage to be located near an electrical outlet. Having consulted with Dale Gregory, it has been determined that the best location for the cage is by the maintenance shed at Lake Ann Park. . The purchase of a batting cage is not in the 1989 budget; therefore, the Park and Recreation Commission has two options should they wish to approve this request. The first option is to delay the purchase and to include it in the 1990 budget. As you may recall, the City Council recently approved a budget adjust- ment involving the Bluff Creek Park access road. $6,800 remains una110cated from that adjustment. The second option is to recom- mend that the City Council approve the purchase using a portion of those una110cated funds. . .. .

The Park and Recreation Commission in the past has discussed the possibilities of using ba11fie1ds at Lake Ann Park for Little League and Babe Ruth. Specifically, that field #3 would be con- verted to a little league field and the new field (field #4) #4 to the east of #3 would be a Babe Ruth field. Staff needs clari- fication as to how you want the new field constructed; to Babe Ruth baseball standards, or to softball standards that will accommodate Babe Ruth. Field #4 has some space limitations (see attached letter from Laurie McRostie) that will not allow for a standard Babe Ruth field; however, a grass infield and 300 foot fence lines could be accommodated. Any changes to the plan should be done as soon as possible. If such is desired, staff should be directed to amend the Lake Ann Park plan to include a grass infield for field #4. .

In that conversation we discussed the possibility of changing one softball field to a baseball field. This appears to be possible with some concessions to meeting all typical standards for baseball fields. The softball fields have been designed with 60 foot basel ines and 300 foot side . line and center field distances. The backstop has been set 20 feet back from home plate. Ag lime is intended for the softball infields. The three softball fields are now very close together, 50 feet apart. Slopes pick up grade between the flat fields. The park as designed is full and is being used very efficiently. The standards for baseball are a 90 foot baseline, with the centerfield a distance of 250 feet to 400 feet from home plate. The backstop is set 40 feet to 60 feet back from home plate. There is a pitcher's mound and a grass infield. Dugouts are often included with baseball fields. It cllJpedXS thdt un ~^Ciiiiina~iu" of Lh~ ClItrem. fi~ld' d~::>ign, the bai1fi~lu closest to the lake can be modified for a baseball field without major changes to the plan. A few concessions would need to be made, however. The 90 foot basel ine can be accommodated and a grass infield and pitcher's mound can easily be constructed. A 300 foot centerfi e 1 d distance i s all that coul d be used. There is no room for dugouts and the space between the backstop and home plate is at least 20 feet less than the standard. It would still be possible to play baseball on this field however. Construct i on at Lake Ann will begi n the week of May 5th. In order change the construction contract, the decision to make these changes must be made as soon as possible so that the contractor can be notified soon enough to incorporate the changes. I anti ci pate that there will not be a large change in the cost of construction for this modification. Please let me know as soon as possible if you desire to ~ake this change. . . .- '-- . ,-- . ~ - . MAY 0 11989 elIi'. OF. CHANHASSEN Equal Opportunity Employer .

At the end of that discussion the CIP balance was reduced to $204,000 and the reserve balance was $375,000 (see attached). As year-end closings for 1988 have transpired, staff has been . able to gleen a clearer picture of what funds will be available for 1990 (see attached). If building continues as projectd, the park acquisition and development fund balance will be roughly $557,000 to be allocated for CIP and reserve, still over by $25,000. As such is the case, staff has proposed additional cuts in the CIP as shown on the first attachment. Additionally, it was necessary to raise the reserve fund figures for specific projects to more realistically cover costs. The budget still needs to be trimmed by roughly $15,000 to balance. Please review the list of projects to determine which items should be cut. . 1990 Proposed Capital Improvement Program .

As per our recent conversation, this is to authorize you to research the City of Chanhassen'5 Comprehensive Plan and to do an analysis of our park system and current and future needs. Specifically, the City Council has asked the Park and Recreation Commission to determine whether there are any park needs in the area of Lake Ann Park and, if 50, ivhat those needs are. This information is needed to determine if the City should pursue a referendum to purchase the ECKankar property. Please feel free to call me if additional information is needed. The item will be scheduled on the May 16, 1989 Park and Recreation Commission age;lda. Sietsema and Recreation Coordinator LS:k . ~ . Van Doren Hazard Stallings Architects. Engineers- Planners May 11, 1989 Ms. Lori Sietsema Park and Recreation Coordinator City of Chanhassen 690 Coulter Drive Chanhassen, Minnesota 55317 Dear Lori: This letter/report has been prepared in response to the directive from the City Council to the Park and Recreation Commission to assess the need for expanded community park areas adjacent to existing Lake Ann Park. In addition to assessing needs relative to the immediate vicinity of Lake Ann Park, the discussion and findings also focus on community wide needs in all geographical areas of the City. . METHODOLOGY/TARGET POPULATION There are a number of ways to analyze community park and community park facility needs. Since Chanhassen has had an adopted park and open space plan since 1980, information from the plan has provided the foundation for this review. The information that has been drawn together for this discussion comes from the Comprehensive Plan sections pertaining to population, land use and parks and recreation. A meaningful review of future community park needs has to include an analysis of projected population and an established relationship between the total number of residents and the recreational facilities that they require. Additionally, the review needs to focus on a set point in time or a maximum anticipated population level. Since it is the intent of this study to focus on long term community park needs, the first step in the process is to identify a target population number. In order to derive a target population number, population and land use data from the comprehensive plan was utilized. In 1988, Chanhassen had an estimated population of 9,225. Of this total, it is estimated that the area within the community's MUSA line contained a population of 8,755. In 1988, Chanhassen's Urban Service Area included approximately 1,260 acres of vacant, . developable land. Development of this vacant land will result in an additional population of 4,032 based on existing overall development densities. The combination of these two population 1 3030 Harbor Lane North Bldg.II, Suite 104 Minneapolis, MN. 55447-2175 612/553-1950 . . . estimates results in a target population for the Urban Service Area of 12,787. Since the focus of this investigation is long term, land area within the existing General Rural Use Area must also be considered. The General Rural Use Area is the portion of the community that is not presently served by sanitary sewer. The GRUA contains a total of approximately 7,300 acres of developable land. This total does not include wetlands and major publ ic land holdings such as the Minnesota Arboretum, the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge and Minnewashta Regional Park. Appl ication of Chanhassen I s existing development density to the vacant, developable land in the GRUA yields an additional target population of 23,363 for the section of the community that is not presently served by sanitary sewer. The combination of this number with the Urban Service Area population of 12,787 results in a total target population of 36,150. The analysis portion of this study will utilize the target population of 36,150. It is extremely difficult to attach a time projection to this land supply based population estimate. Timing is dependent on future growth rates and local and regional policies pertaining to the provision of full urban services. Chanhassen's attainment of this population level may take 20 years or it may take 50 years. The exact time frame is largely irrelevant since the emphasis of this study is to make an attempt to define long term needs. Long term needs are defined as those experienced by the community as it approaches a fully developed condition, regardless of how long it actually take to reach such a position. FUTURE PARK NEEDS Chanhassen's supply of community parks will need to keep pace with future growth in order to maintain the same level of services presently available. This means that future parks will need to accommodate the 26,925 people who make up the difference between the 1988 population level and the target population identified in t his s t u d Y . Sin c e the ex i s tin g sup ply 0 f co mm un it Y par k san d particularly the supply of active recreational facil ities reasonably meets the needs of the present population, additional land will need to be acquired in order to accommodate future residents. The park and recreation section of the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan contains an adopted standard for quantifying needed community park land. The plan calls for 7 acres of community parkland for every 1,000 residents. This means that in the future, the City will need to acquire an additional 188 acres of land to fully satisfy community park needs for the target population. 2 In addition to reviewing overall community park needs, the plan also provides information on specific active recreational facil ities. These facil ities should be considered as part of a review of future park needs. Among the active recreational pursuits, soccer and softball/baseball are the most land intensive. They are also the most popular programs offered by the City of Chanhassen. Since they are the most land intensive features in most community parks, it is important to project future needs for both uses to ensure that future land supply projections can actually accommodate needed fields. At the present time Chanhassen is utilizing 15 baseball/softball fields to accommodate existing needs. Since this supply meets current demand, it is reasonable to translate this relationship into the form of a standard. This has been accomplished in the following chart along with a comparison of the standards used by the cities of Eden Prairie and Bloomington. . ACTIVE PARK STANDARDS (facilities/number of people) Activity Chanhassen Eden Prairie Bloomington Softball 1/1300 1/1500 1/600 Baseball . 60' 1/1500 1/2500 1/600 751 1/9000 1/8000 1/3600 90' 1/9000 1/6000 1/4000 Soccer 1/3000 1/4000 1/3500 Source: City of Eden Prairie Van Doren-Hazard-Stallings, I nc. Application of the above information to the target population of 36,150_ reveals the need for a total of 69 baseball/softball fields and 12 soccer fields. The present supply includes 15 baseball/softball fields and 3 soccer fields resulting in the future need for an additional 54 baseball/softball fields and 11 soccer fields. In the future, it is anticipated that the total number of baseball/softball fields will be reduced through the installation of lights accommodating evening and night games. Programming in Chanhassen has shown that one new ball field can be eliminated for every two fields that have lighting systems. By the time that Chanhassen reaches its target population, this study assumes that a total of 10 fields will have lighting eliminating the need for 5 new fields. This will adjust the total number of additional . baseball/softball fields from 54 to 49. 3 . . . The existing community park system which principally includes Lake Ann Park can not accommodate construction of any additional ball diamonds or soccer fields. With the construction that is occurring this summer, this park will contain 6 ball fields and one regulation soccer field. Chanhassen presently does not have additional vacant community park land. This means that all future construction will need to be accommodated within additional land acquisitions. Previous comments in this report referenced the land intensive nature of ball fields and soccer fields. The 49 additional ball fields and 11 soccer fields and parking associated with each activity are expected to require a total of 150 acres of additional property. Other active and passive recreational activities will also require additional land in the future. The needs of these uses coupled with the ball fields and soccer fields reaffirm the overall projection of 188 acres of additional community park land needed to serve the identified target populatio~. LOCATIONAL CRITERIA If the premise is accepted that Chanhassen will need an additional 188 acres of community park land in the long term future, the next logical question is where should it be located? Passive activities such as picnicking, nature trails, etc. need to be located where appropriate environments exist. Active pursuits need to be located in open areas with suitable topography. The other factor that needs to be considered is the total number of required community parks. Community parks typically have a service area of 2 to 3 miles. Utilizing a 2-3 mile service area, it is possible for Chanhassen to satisfy community park needs with three locations. Lake Ann Park which lies in the northern portion of the community presently has 40 acres devoted to active recreation. In 1988, residents approved a bond issue to acquire additional park property to serve a s a new com m u nit y park i n the sou t h ern port i on of the c i t Y . Assuming that the southern site has expansion potential (2X), these two sites combined with an eventual third site of equal size can effectively serve the target population. Depending on the sites ultimately selected for the southern park and the third community park, other acquisitions may be necessary or desirable to satisfy future passive recreational needs. Such sites may feature wooded areas, wetlands, lineal open space corridors etc. Funds that were approved in the 1988 referendum should be adequate to sustain an initial park purchase of 30 to 50 acres. The ability to accommodate active recreational pursuits is a key selection criteria in the identification of the southern site. When the selection process is completed and the purchase is final, the city will have satisfied 30 to 50 acres of the 150 acres projected to be needed for future active recreational facil ities. This will 4 result in the long term need for the acquisition of an additional 100 to 120 acres for active uses. . Since Chanhassen can be eventually served by three primary community park locations, it is assumed that it is in the best long term interest of the city that they be approximately equal in size. Parks of equal size will afford convenient access for both existing and future residents. If this is to occur, this means that the city should consider eventual acquisition of an additional 30.:!:. acres adjacent to the selected southern site, 60+ acres for an eventual third community park and 25+ acres adjacent to Lake Ann Park. If land is added to Lake Ann Park, it should be added on the east side to maintain the park's development pattern which establishes the western portion of the site for passive uses and the eastern portion of the site for active uses. LAND ACQUISITION COST Up to this point in time, the cost of land has not been interjected into the narrative of this study. Land costs, however, may be the prime determinant in acquiring new community park land in the future. Since Chanhassen is split by the MUSA line, a significant difference exists between land prices in the.northern, sewered area of the community and the southern, non-sewered area of the community. This differential is partially responsible for the decision by the city that was affirmed by the voters to acquire a southern park site in 1989 to accommodate future needs. Stated simply, the land will never be any cheaper than it is at the present time. . The acquisition of land adjacent to Lake Ann Park will carry a relatively high price due to the existence of city services. The parcel lying east of the park currently contains 175 acres of land. This property is zoned residential which is subject to a park dedication requirement of approximately 10%. If the entire property was subdivided into residential lots, the city could require the developer to dedicate approximately 18 acres of land contiguous to the existing boundaries of Lake Ann Park. The remaining 7 acres to bring the acquisition to a total of 25 acres could be purchased by the city. Although zoned residential, the vacant 175 acre parcel is presently owned by ECkankar, a non profit group who is proposing to build a church on the site. If a church is constructed on the site without the property being subdivided, the City of Chanhassen will loose the ability to collect park dedication fees on the portion of the property that ultimately contains the church. Since churches do not typically require 175 acre sites, portions of the property may be subsequently utilized for residential purposes in conformance with the existing zoning designation. . 5 . . . SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS This study identifies the need for approximately 190 acres of additional land to satisfy Chanhassen's need for community park facilities to serve a target population of 36,150. The interests of the community can be most effectively served by the eventual acquisition of approximately 60 acres in the southern portion of the community, 60 acres in the southwestern or western section of the city and 25 acres adjacent to the east side of Lake Ann Park to accommodate future active recreational needs. Acquiring land adjacent to Lake Ann Park is complicated by two major items, present ownership and high land cost associated with the availability of full urban services. Despite these obstacles, the City of Chanhassen should continue to attempt to acquire additional land east of Lake Ann Park as part of land dedication requirements combined with land purchases. If the ownership issue or the land value is ultimately found to preclude the future expansion of Lake Ann Park, an additional 25+ acres should be acquired as part of the southern park site- or future third community park site. In addition to the future land requirements noted above, the City should also plan on the acquisition of approximately 40 acres of additional property to satisfy the need for passive community park needs. Sites accommodating these uses could be adjacent to and part of the southern community park site or third community park site or could be on a totally separate parcel or parcels. Site selection criteria for passive uses should heavily consider site amenities. I trust that this information will prove beneficial to the Park and Recreation Commission and City Council as they continue their deliberations.

You asked me to respond to two questions: 1) Can a person who does not own a lake shore lot or who does not have the right to use a recreational beach lot moor a boat on a lake lying wholly within the boundaries of Chanhassen? 2) Can a boat owner store a boat on a lake shore lot that they don't own without the owner's permission? Section 6-27(b) of the City Code prohibits the mooring of boats by individuals who don't own a lot on the lake. The Code does not require that the boat be moored in front of your own lot. I don't, however, understand why anyone would want to moor the boat in front of someone else's lot. You can't store your boat on someone else's lot without the owner's permission. This is simple trespass law. If I misunderstood your questions, please let me know. ~urs, G,~r~NNIS' FARRELL KNUTSON ,) P. A. ------~'& ~- ,By:~- -~ _______ Roger N.

I stopped by as per your request to look at the 4 tennis courts on Larado Dr. The west courts have structural cracks and show surface deteriotation. I would recommend the following: Clean and fill the base of the cracks with a poly rod, then fill the last 1/2" with a rubberized asphaltic patch mix. Patch low areas of depth. Blend all repair work and patching to the existing surface. Apply 2 coats of sand filled asphaltic emulsion. . Apply 2 coats of colored, textured, acrylic latex. Upon curing paint on 2" white game lines. This would be done for 3,160.00. and would carry a full one year warrenty. The 2 East courts I recommend the following: Replace the 3" net posts, (They are tipped and are popping out of the ground due to undersized footings.) with 4" net posts with proper 2' wide by 36" deep footings. Fill the cracks with poly rod at the base, then the last 1/2" with rubberized asphalt patch. Patch low areas of depth. Blend all repair work to the existing surface. Apply 2 coats of sand filled asphaltic emulsion. Apply 2 coats of colored textured acrylic latex. Upon curing, paint on 2" white game lines. This would be done at a total cost of 3,960.00 and would carry a full one year warrenty. Note: The preparation work is very important, and must be done right. The expansion material in the cracks, 2 coats of sand filled emulsion to give some depth to the repair. The 4 coat system would add surface thickness, which is needed to add to the longevity of the repair and life to this facility. RespectfU,l~lY . ~LV {IILI ~\V"- a;r~y W. Ca IS-on MAY 021989 .

Michigan's program, which will be available to private businesses in about a year, will take much of the burden off business' shoulders. According to Beier, employers will be able to send the pre-tax dollars that a working par- ent sets aside for child care directlv to the treas- ury depart~ent or to the treasury's designated agent. "We'll do the rest," she NEWS BRIEFS says. That includes placing the child care funds in an account and handling reim- bursements. Even if some small busi- nesses choose not to partici- pate, Beier expects that the program will be of value to them. "We may turn out to be an informa- tion base" for businesses that set up programs on their own, she says. -Penelope Lemov )\'ROUNO-Ur REAPS PENNIES, . AND MORE, FOR PARKS One reason for the pro- gram's broad appeal, Owens says, is that "people like to round off checks when they write them in their checkbooks." During the first six weeks of the program, the mayor says, residents con- tributed more than $500. Vienna, West Virginia, is staging its first round- up. The city of 12,000 is asking residents to round up to the next dollar when paying water and sewer bills. The extra cents (and more, if a resident is so moved) will be used to fund capital improvements for the city's park and rec- reation facilities. To make the voluntarv effort easier, the citv de.: signed a new water hill that leaves room at the bottom for residents to add a tax- free gift to their payments. "Some people rounded up a $6.93 bill to $7. Others did the same rounding-up and then added another $.5 or $10. Some went as high as $20," reports Mayor Wil- liam F. Owens. Those par- . ticipating ranged from re- tired residents on small, fixed incomes to more af- fluent residents who work in a nearby industrial area. He projects that, eventu- ally, it will net the city $3,000 to $4,000 a year. The money will be used to make such park improve- ments as planting flowers and adding playground equipment. The park de- partment's budget, which in 1989 totals $148,000, is for operating expenses only. Owens says he heard about the idea from a friend who visited his son in Irving, Texas. Irving started a Rounder Program in 1981 and has since raised $90,000 to help buy new city park land. "I thought it sounded good. Now I'm getting letters about it from Bozeman, Montana, and Mil- waukie, Oregon." To answer all the ques- tions, Owens is sending out copies of a presentation he made about the program for the West Virginia Mu- nicipal League. The infor- mation packet also includes a copy of the new water bill design. -P.L.

The winner of a national Technology Achievement award from Public Tech- nology Inc., a non-profit research group of local gov- ernments, the Fire Safety House program uses a two-story home on wheels, about the size of a large camper trailer. The house has two bedrooms, upstairs and down, a fire alarm system, red strobe lights and a non-toxic smoke device. When kids are in- side, the equipment is set off to simulate a real fire. "For the child who is pre-adolescent, it is excel- lent because it's more realis- tic" than standard methods of teaching fire safety, says Marian Kaufman, principal of the Pershing Elementary School. Using as their guide a program first devised by the fire department in South Bend, Indiana, Lin- coln firefighters have taught young students to crawl along the floor to avoid smoke inhalation, feel the door before opening it to see if it's hot and crawl down a ladder out the bed- GOVERNING May 1989 15 E CITY OF CHAHHASSEH . 690 COULTER DRIVE. P.O. BOX 147 . CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 April 28, 1989 Ms. Kate Kinnich 2750 Sandpiper Trail Excelsior, MN 55331 Dear Kate: This is in response to your questions about the history of Herman Field. Herman Field is a 13 acre park that was donated by the Herman family to the City of Chanhassen. The Hermans made this dedication to the City with the stipulation that if it is not used for park purposes, it should go to the County to become part of the Minnewashta Regional Park. Since that time, the City has designed a number of park plans for the development of Herman Field. Originally it was thought that this would be a good site for an active play field. However, due to the site's natural beauty and topography, such was not pursued. The latest plan (see attached) includes play structures along a nature trail that meanders through the park, a backstop for pick-up games, totlot equipment, and off-street parking. . No action has been taken to develop the site due to the contro- versy over access. It was originally the intention of the City to gain access to the park via Oriole Lane. However, due to poor soils and drainage problems, it was considered too expensive. An alternate access location has been identified on the north side of the park off of Forest Circle. This alternative will require the acquisition of an easement from a private landowner. Before proceeding with negotiations to obtain an easement, it is staff's recommendation to have the Park and Recreation Commission hold a public hearing with the neighborhoods in the area to determine if the park plan is still a valid plan. If such is the case, the Park and Recreation Commission will direct staff to proceed. In response to your questions regarding the development of Piper Ridge and whether that land was ever parkland, it was not. Many people, expecially realtors, believed it was a single piece of . property. In fact, at one time land use plans even identified . . . !vIs Kate Kinnich April 28, 1989 Page 2 this as parkland, which explains some of the confusion. The Herman family dedicated 13 acres for park purposes, none of which included what is now known as the Piper Ridge development. You also asked about the trail easement through the Piper Ridge development. The City felt it important to provide a pedestrian access to the park through this development. Attached please find a site plan showing the location of that easement. To date, the Park and Recreation Commission has not discussed how that easement will be improved. As to the question regarding the access road and who will pay for it, please refer to the attachment labeled "Exhibit 5", which shows the extension of the platted Forest Circle right-of-way. The City would then gain access off of that street. Typically, with street improvements, the abutting property owners would be assessed for the street improvement portion (extension of Forest Circle); however, I do not know at this time if such would be the case in this instance. The Park and Recreation Commission will be holding the public hearing in May. You and your neighbors will be notified prior to the meeting. Please plan to attend and share your ideas with the Park and Recreation Commission regarding the type of development you would like to see. Please feel free to call me at 937-1900 if you have additional questions.

DATE: April 28, 1989 SUBJ: Park Land Acquisition Attached you will find a recent article from the Eden prairie News paper dated Wednesday, April 26, 1989. This article is in regard to the City of Eden prairie's proposal to buy 24 acres of unsewered property on Lake Riley for park purposes. The City of Eden prairie is proposing to offer $410,000 for 24 acres, at $17,000 per acre. Comparing this to the City of Chanhassen's offer of $200,000 for 34 acres, at $6,000 per acre, it would . appear that we have reached a fair and equitable price for the Bandimere farm. Both you and the search committee should be commended for your efforts in negotiating the acquisitions of the proposed park site. Again -- congratulations! . . ...... - ,'..., '. ' -, ..' , City raises offer for Jacques land . The city of Eden Prairie has raised its offer to buy 24 acres of property on Riley Lake from $277,000 to $410,000, based on the increasing , price of undeveloped land in south- west EP. The city is seeking the property, owned by Elaine Jacques, in order to expand Riley- Lake Park. The city has been awarded a lAWCON grant that would pay .50 percent of the land's appraISed value. Of the city's share, $180,000 was included in the park bond referendum held Tuesday; the balance would be paid with cash park fees (fees paid by developers). The city sought a new appraisal after the property owner and her representative told officials that the $277,000 appraisal estimate - or $11,541 per acre - offered in April 1988 was less than the going rate for land in southwest Eden Prairie. The city later discovered that land in that area, which is not expected to be served by city sewer and water until ; after the year 2000, was selling for . approximately $16,000 to $16,500 per acre. Based on recent sales, a new appraisal has adjusted the Jacques property's value to $410,000, includ- mg buildings that are located on the property. The Eden Prairie City Council last week agreed to ,offer that price to the owner. City officials said the review was needed because the grant covers 50 percent of the appraisal rather than SO percent of the actual purchase 'ce. The ~ty has until the end of ' .

Program. As you'll find from reading the enclosed C.O.R.E. booklet, the program was established to cooperativ~ly improve the fishing and fisheries management potential that exists in Minnesota lakes. Cost-sharing or labor-sharing between local units of government and the Department of Natural Resources, Section of Fisheries, allows us to complete many more worthwhile fisheries projects that would otherwise be impossible with our limited funding and manpower. . When you read through the C.O.R.E. booklet, look at the wide spectrum of fisheries projects attainable through this program. Also, consider the potential that we have through cooperation for improving fisheries recreation and management in a cost-effective manner. As you complete the C.O.R.E. application, be sure to indicate how you are willing to cooperate, or what you are able to contribute towards the project, in the NARRATIVE section of the application. Be realistic; the R.I.M. (Reinvest In Minnesota) and Fishing License Surcharge programs have given us money to work with, but not an unlimited supply; therefore the monies must be spent wisely. E!~b!ng e!~~ e~gg~~m If you are applying for a fishing pier, following guidelines: be aware of the 3) Fishing piers are best placed in 6-9 feet of water. They can only be placed on those waters with a designated, free, public access. Adequate parking facilities must be available nearby, with flat terrain between pier and parking area. Pier should be separated from beach, picnic, and boat launch areas to avoid excessive non-fishing pedestrian traffic.

FISHING PIERS Ce . Angler Use. Increasing opportunities for fish- ing are often hampered by a lack of physical or le- gal access to fishing waters. Acquisition of ac- cess privileges on private land adjoining fishing streams, either through easements or land pur- chase, is an important program. Construction and maintenance of pathways, fences, and fence bypass devices are typical projects on these streams. Development of fishing piers and fish shelter devices can provide and improve an- gling opportunities. Public assistance with con- struction and maintenance activities and cost sharing is possible. Heavy use by anglers may result in a decline in the number of desirable fish in the lake or stream. In some cases, management with special harvest regulations that restrict numbers and sizes of se- lected species can result in improved fishing. The responses of the fish populations vary from wa- ter to water and application of special regulations should be considered experimental. Observation and evaluation of the results of each special reg- ulation program are necessary. Public involve- ment in special regulation management can in- . clude evaluation, public information contacts, installation and maintenance of on-site public in- formation signs, and aiding in voluntary creel sur- veys. Summary. Proper management of Minnesota's fishery resources includes a combination of en- hancement and use activities. An appropriate lake management program may include rehabili- tation, construction of a fish barrier, acquisition and development of access facilities, spawning areas, aeration, and special regulations. A group may decide to adopt a lake or stream and sponsor all of the needed activities or work in cooperation with other groups to fulfill management needs. The CORE program provides an excellent op- portunity for resource enhancement and for edu- cation of our youth. Utilizing youth through vari- ous social and school group activities is encouraged. If youngsters can be made aware of the interactions between man's activities and the environment, the future for Minnesota's fish- eries resources will look brighter for generations to come. -7- e e Project Scope . With Minnesota being geographically large and having diverse fish species and habitat types, nu- merous proposals are anticipated. The Section of Fisheries will seek equitable geographic distribu- tion of projects and will coordinate duplicate or overlapping project proposals. The cost of pro- posed projects must be evaluated and given weight on the basis of the greatest benefit to the resource for the least cost. Cooperative projects will be subject to the fol- lowing format: 1. The initiating group(s) shall appoint one per- son to be responsible for all communication with the Section of Fisheries. The Regional Fisheries Supervisor will be the initial contact when start- ing a CORE project. 2. A major goal of CORE is to increase citizen cooperation in fish management. Combined group support will provide greater individual par- ticipation by the members. Public meetings may be held on many CORE projects to gain support and additional input. 3. Proposals for enhancement of fish popula- tions will be evaluated according to their poten- tial effect on the fish community and lake or stream system, as well as contribution to the fishing resource. Projects in this group would be expected to increase or adjust fish populations to more desirable levels. These proposals encom- pass, but are not limited to, projects such as: habitat improvement, spawning areas, fish barri- ers, reclamation, and aeration. 4. Use proposals will relate to the activity of fishing and will be evaluated according to their potential value in recreational angling, fish utili- zation, and potential effect on the surrounding environment. Projects in this group would be ex- pected to provide better access to a fish popula- tion than presently exists. These proposals en- compass, b4t are not limited to, such projects as: access, brush shelters, experimental regula- tions, and fishing piers. 5. Comprehensive proposals are encouraged. However, those of long duration, extensive con- struction, and high cost will have to be subdi- vided into a manageable multi-project system. 6. Each project shall have defined guidelines, goals, and achievements. They will have stated beginning and end dates with a schedule of pro- gress reports, and, when appropriate, a project completion report submitted within 60 days of . the project end date. 7. The Section of Fisheries' approval of CORE projects will be based upon biological feasibility, social interactions of user groups, public sup- port, and economic impact on the local commu- nity. 8. Funding of approved projects is subject to availability. Priority of funding will consider equi- table statewide distribution as well as the pro- ject's potential value and benefit. 9. Specific projects may also be subject to ap- proval by other agencies or legal authorities. . -8- . e . Project Development The initiator, group, or local unit of government should use these guidelines and fill in the two- page project application and return it to the Re- gional Fisheries Supervisor where the lake or stream is located (See Region Map, Page 10). Upon receipt of the completed application, the Regional Fisheries Supervisor will review it and, if it meets CORE requirements and Fisheries ob- jectives, he will assign the Area Fisheries Super- visor to assist the initiator with development of the project proposal. The Area Fisheries Supervi- sor will assist the initiator in fish management . \ '\ \ . J t\;! '\; J . t ~,.,/ \1 \,.. . p~Lcl techniques and integrate the project into Area Fisheries Management Plans. All projects will meet the objectives of CORE and be consistent with the mission and policy of the Section of Fisheries and the Commissioner of the Depart- ment of Natural Resources. Approval of projects for addition to the work plan will be the responsi- bility of the Regional Fisheries Supervisor. Upon completion of the project, a final report will be submitted to the Regional Fisheries Super- visor for evaluation and approval. I " ~ '9 '\\ ~ \ '\/~ \ \ ~~-~ \{. .'- t \ .".~ "' ~- \. ..

The Park and Recreation Commission directed staff to find out if designating Lake Lucy as a quiet lake would be considered a taking, thus requiring compensation. The City Attorney's response was a negative one as the surface zoning of a lake is a regulation and would not require compensation.

The Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission remains committed to finding adequate access that will meet DNR requirements; however, to pursue such, I need clarifica- . tion on a couple of points. I understand that a portage access to Lake Lucy from lake Ann has been determined to be unacceptable. Such was not considered equal access as lakeshore owners do not need to portage to gain access. The second option was to dredge the creek between Lakes Ann and Lucy to a depth that would accommodate a boat. Thus, the Lake Ann access could be used to serve both lakes without having to portage. As Lake Lucy is higher than Lake Ann, a barrier would have to be installed to maintain water levels. Such could be constructed so that a boater would simply have to lift their boat over. Although we discussed this proposal and walked the site, you were unable to give me a clear determination as to whether this alter- native would be acceptable. Please let me know what would be needed to make this determination, as it is felt that this would be the easiest and most inexpensive way to achieve public access on Lake Lucy. In our discussion regarding the outlot on-the nothwest side of the lake, Mr. Markell indicated that the DNR would be willing to assist with access development. I have presented this alter- native to the Park and Recreation Commission and they have recom- . mended that the City pursue that option. Before making a presentation to the City Council, however, I must know the . . . Mr. Del Barber May 5, 1989 Page Two details of the DNR's involvement. Please let me know what steps must be taken to get a firm commitment from your department to construct the access if the city purchases the property. As the Pollution Control Agency is anxiously waiting for progress in obtaining access on Lake Lucy, I would appreciate your response as soon as possible. Please feel free to call me at 937-1900 if you have any questions or need additional information. Again, thank you for your cooperation and efforts on this project. Hopefully an access can be put in place that will be acceptable to everyone.

Previously, the City Council and Park and Recreation Commission walked the site with Al Klingelhutz, at which time it was thought that the lake lots across the street from Bandimere Heights Park were for sale . as well. At Saturday's meeting, Al said the land was approximately 34 acres and the asking price was $210,000. He said he had been mistaken about the lake lots and it was not the lot across Kiowa Trail from the small park we currently own, but a lot further down and it had sold. Some of the Council Members and Commissioners felt that it was the lake lot that made the Bandimere farm an attractive site. At that point Al indicated that Sever Peterson was willing to sell property as well and Councilwoman Dimler asked Sever to come and explain his proposal. Sever indicated that if he had his druthers, he would keep the land and farm site. However, due to the Highway 212 alignment he is willing to sell. He currently has 120 acres. The Eden prairie landfill is interested in mining the clay on the property for a price yet undetermined. As Highway 212 will be absorbing a portion of the land there is approximately 75 acres available to the City. Sever is willing to sell all or a portion of it for $6,500/acre. The Council and Commission discussed this site; however, due to drastic topography, the non-central location, etc., they felt that the Bandimere farm would be a more suitable park site. The Council unanimously acted to authorize Al Klingelhutz to make an offer on the 34 acre Bandimere farm of $200,000 with $2,000 down as earnest money. They directed Al to make the offer contingent upon the seller having the site surveyed. . . . . Don Ashworth May 1, 1989 Page 2 The Council also acted to authorize Al to enter into negotiations to purchase the vacant lots on Lake Riley, located directly across the street from Bandimere Heights Park. Since that time the Bandimere family has accepted the offer of $200,000 for the 34 acres. The Park and Recreation Commission has held a meeting with the Bandimere Heights neighborhood. The general consensus of the neighborhood is that they are in favor of the farm site being a park. However, they were opposed to the purchase of the lake lots for parkland. To date, I have not heard from Al as to the availability of the,Jakeshore property. This is simply to update you as to the proceedings that have taken place to date. I will proceed with preparing a sketch plan for the site to determine if it will accommodate youth athletic facilities.

Thank you for your letter of May 3, 1989 requesting a public hearing with the Park and Recreation Commission on May 9, 1989. I ~~ assuming that the concerns you referred to have to do with park development in your area. Unfortunately, there are three other public hearings already scheduled for May 9 and I am reluc- tant to schedule another as I anticipate the meeting to go quite late. The Park and Recreation Commission has budgeted money for park improvements in your area for 1989. However, the Highway 101 and West 78th Street intersection is scheduled to be redesigned which may change the park boundaries - potentially adding parkland. The Commission has postponed development in this area until the design of this intersection is determined and definite park boun- daries are in place. The preliminary plan for South Lotus Lake Park calls for tennis courts, a ballfield and playground equipment. As soon as the park boundaries are determined, we will proceed with the develop- ment of a Master Park Plan, at which time you and your neigh- borhood will be invited in for your input. This is not to put you off~ however, decisions cannot be made until we know how much land we have. I will contact you as soon as the intersection design is determined and plans can be made for the site. . Ms. Bobbi Kussard 1-1ay 4, 1989 Page 2 Please feel free to contact me at 937-1900 if you have any questions. Again, the Park and Recreation Commission wants to hear from you and your neighbors; however, due to Tuesday's already heavy agenda and the uncertainty of the park boundaries, discussions at this time may be premature.

CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 MEMORANDUM TO: Park and Recreation Commission FROM: Lori Sietsema, Park and Recreation Coordinator DATE: May 3, 1989 SUBJ: Canoe & Boat Slip Assignment In determining park development in parks with lakeshore, the Park and Recreation Commission has contemplated the idea of providing boats slips and/or canoe racks. Before venturing into this type of service, the commission has asked staff to research ways in which the spaces could be assigned and monitored. Below please find a brief summary of what is done in other cities. . MINNEAPOLIS Applications for boat slips, mooring bouys and canoe rack space are made available in January. Each application is put into one of four catagories: 1. Returning renter to same lake. 2. Returning renter to different lake within the City. 3. New applications. 4. Application for second boat in the same family. The first catagory is assigned first. Catagory two is assigned second. Applications in catagory three are put into a hat and randomly drawn - lottery style. If spaces are still available, the applications in catagory four are drawn. Prices for boat slips and mooring bouys are $11.00 per lineal foot with a minimum of $176.00 for the season. Canoe rack space is $47.00 for the season. Non-residents are charged higher fees. WAYZATA . The City of Wayzata makes their assignments by lottery. Residents are served first, if space is still available non- residents are accomodated. Once a person is assigned a space they keep it unitl they move out of the City or give it up. The price for space is $400 - $450 per season. Park and Recreation Commission May 3, 1989 Page Two BURNSVILLE Burnsville has canoe racks available at 2-3 parks. They assign spaces on a first come, first served basis.
