MEMORANDUM
TO: Park and Recreation Commission
FROM: Lori Sietsema, Park and Recreation Coordinator
DATE: July 6, 1989
SUBJ: Oakview Heights
Background
The Oakview Heights site plan has been previously reviewed by the
Park and Recreation Commission. As you may recall, at the last
meeting the Commission reconsidered their motion to request
payment of 100% of park fees and the installation of recreation
facilities (totlot, basketball and volleyball). It was requested .
that the developer dedicate 4 acres of parkland that would accom-
modate the above mentioned facilities and a ballfield/open space.
Analysis
This development is proposing 182 units which has the potential
to create a population of 360-450 people. According to our ordi-
nance, this population creates the need for 4.5 - 6.5 acres of
parkland. A requirement of such on a development of this small
size creates a problem for the developer in that he is unable to
get the density for which the property is zoned (12 units per
acre). With such a drastic cut in density and the high cost of
land, such renders the project "unfeasible".
Going a step further, assuming the project could be pursued in
spite of the land dedication requirements, the Commission should
consider the total costs to the City. Four acres of useable
parkland would require a compensation of $160,000. In addition,
the City would be responsible for the cost of street improvements
as they abut the parkland. As park dedications for this develop-
ment would amount to $122,000, the costs above and beyond the
park fee credit would be upwards of $40,000.
Staff feels the previous recommendation of requiring payment of
the park fee and the installation of private recreational facili-
ties will accomplish more as far park objectives. This site lies .
within the service area of City Center Park. With the funds this

project will generate, City Center Park can be redesigned to
include more active facilities to serve more park users as is
planned. With the installation of non-organized facilities on
the project site, the future residents' recreational needs will
be met - without costing the City any out of pocket expense.
With the wetland area on the northwest corner of the site
preserved through a wetland easement, and the hardwood stand
preserved through a conservation easement, open space will be
provided on this site (although not for active use). With the
installation of a totlot, basketball court and volleyball court,
the informal recreational needs will be provided for. And, with
the further development of City Center Park, the organized
recreational opportunities will be provided.
Recommendation
Therefore, it is the recommendation of this office to reconsider
the motion to require a land dedication of 4 acres from the
Oakview Heights development. It is recommended that the
recreational needs of the future residents of this development be
met by providing private recreational facilities, specifically
totlot equipment, a half court basketball facility and a sand
volleyball court. Additionally, it is recommended that 100% of
the park dedication fee be required in lieu of public parkland,
and that a 100% credit be given on the trail dedication fee for
the construction of a 6 ft. wide concrete sidewalk along the
north side of Jenny Lane and an 8 ft. wide bituminous trail along
the east side of Powers Boulevard.

SUBJ: Eagle Scout Project
I recently met with Martin Schmidt, a Chanhassen Boy Scout, to
discuss potential Eagle Scout Projects. The project that Martin
has chosen to pursue is to build wood duck houses at Chan Pond
Park. Martin has expanded the project to also include 2 nesting
platforms for Canadian Geese and 4 blue bird houses.
.
Attached please find Martin's proposal with 2 cost estimates for
materials, roughly $200. The 1989 Capital Improvement Program
budget includes $400 for a project such as this. Staff feels
that the bird houses and nesting platforms will enhance this
nature park by attracting wildlife.
It is the recommendation of this office to approve the Eagle
Scout Project to construct 2 Canadian Goose nesting platforms, 4
blue bird houses and 4 wood duck houses as proposed by Martin
Schmidt.
.
.
.

Martin Schmidt
My project consists of the building and placing of
bluebird houses) wood duck houses) nesting platforms for
Canadian geese, and a wooden plaque showing where all of
these structures will be placed. These houses and
platforms will be placed in and around the Chanhassen Pond
Park.
I will be building four bluebird houses. These houses
will be placed mostly in the meadow at the southwestern
end of the pond. This type of location was recommended by
the DNR and the people at the Carver Park Nature Center.
Four wood duck houses are what I am planning on making.
Tod Hoffman recommended that I place these houses in
trees around the pond. I have seen the pond and it is
po~sible to place a house at almost each side of the pond.
1 propose to make two nesting platforms for the pond. I
decided to make two because Canadian geese are territorial
and space is needed between the platforms so the geese can
nest in peace. This recommendation was voiced by the
Nature Center and the DNR.
My goal for this project is to complete a requirement
for the Eagle Scout award. Also my goal is to attract
wildlife to the area of the Chanhassen Pond Park. With
the wildlife attracted, people will be able to observe
birds and the birds will enhance the beauty of the park.

DATE: July 7, 1989
SUBJ: 1990 Capital Improvement Program Budget
Attached please find the revised 1990 Capital Improvement Program
budget. I am presenting this back to you for one last look. I
was unsure of your intentions regarding funds for park improve-
ments at Curry Farms Park.
As you may recall, the Commission took funds out of the reserve .
area to put toward park development (see attached minutes). At
that time there was considerable discussion to allocate $10,000
for park improvements at Curry Farms Park. However, such was not
included in the final motion. As the Commission noted, there are
a number of homes with small children in the area and park facil-
ities are needed. However, to make that allocation, a change
would have to be made elsewhere in the budget to compensate. I
would suggest that the $10,000 for Lake Susan be reconsidered
as that park will not be fully completed by next year.
It is the recommendation of this office to approve the previously
proposed 1990 Capital Improvement Project budget with the amend-
ment reallocating $10,000 from Lake Susan Park to Curry Farms
Park.

SUBJ: Park Patrol Personnel
I was recently discussing with Jim Chaffee ordinance violations
and vandalism occurring in the parks. He suggested that we
budget for part-time seasonal personnel to patrol the City parks.
Although this budget item would come out of the Public Safety
budget, staff felt the Park and Recreation Commission should make
comment as well.
.
A park patrol officer would be on duty at peak times to inform
park users of, and enforce, park ordinances. Lake Ann would be
the park most often patrolled, however, all parks would be
included.
It is staff's recommendation to request that $10,000 be included
in the 1989 Public Safety budget to cover salaries for 2 tem-
porary, part-time park patrol officers.
.
g
.
The Government Training Service workshop on Jtn1e 22 given by Karen
Ray and Bob Lockyear covered many interesting topics.
I carne away from this workshop with the idea that the roost important
thing for any crmnission is to have a fMission Statement'. The
role of a carmission is to identify yCA..1r nmction to avoid getting
locked in to urmecessary nmctions, tln..1s wasting time.

.
Without a mission staterrent, we have no plan. This mission staterrent
would have the same concept as a Comprehensive Plan. It makes a
carmi tment to a singular goal thereby keeping control of a meeting.
When disputes arise, you can always bring up the 'Mission Staterrent'.
To create this stat:Ioo1ttl there IlllSt be input and agreerrent, or at least
a general consensus fran the conmission and the Cotmcil. This statement
should be no longer than one page and should answer the following
questions.
1. Who are we?
2. What are our basic needs?
3. What do we need to recognize to accanplish CA..1r needs?
4. What are our responsibilities to CA..1r major shareholders (citizens and
Cotmcil)?
5. What is our philosophy and our core values?
6. What makes us tmique?
.
Once these questions are answered, the Carmission and Council will
have sanething to fall back on to avoid urmecessary arguing and second
guessing. This helps to provide an opporttmity to incorporate future
goals while assuring that everyone is starting out and staying on the
right track.
One example ( very roughly done) would be sanethi~ like this.
We are an advisory board appointed by the City Cotmcil to provide
input to Council by researching infonnation, needs and concerns of
the citizens.
We are to preseIVe and protect our natural anmenities while providing re-
areat!iCJ1ilaD. facilities to a growing camunity. We will respong to the
citizens and Council in a timely and fiscally responsible marmer.
In addition to the 'Mission Statement' the roles of Carmission members
were outlined.

What Is Consensus?
Any group's goal should he to reach decisions that best
rcflec :he thinking of all group members. We call this
Mreaching consensus.-a phrase used repeatedly
throughout this handbook. It is easy to be confused
about what consensus is and isn't. so here are some
guidelines:
Consensus is...
. Finding a proposal acceptable enough that all
members can support it; no member opposes it.
Is not...
. A unanimous vote-a consensus may nat repre-
sent everyone's first priorities.
. A majority vote-in a majority vate, only the
majority gets something they are happy with;
people in the minority may get something they
don't want at all. which is not .....hat consensus is
all about.
. Everyone totally satisfied.
Requires...
· Time
. Active participation of all group members
. Skills in communication: listening. confljct reso-
lution, discussion f;lcilitation
. Creative thinking and open-mindedness
Aiming for consensus at a meeting requires a much
different strategy than if you were just going to keep on
arguing until you had a unanimous vote (or even a
majority "ate). To reach consensus, the team must let
each member participate fully in the decision. This
probably means going through several rounds of the
outlined process. How do you know when you have
reached consensus? Probably no one will be com-
pletely satisfied 'tvith the decision, but everyone can
live with it. The decision-making processes described
in this chapter can help you reach consensus. particu-
larly when the group is new.
Not every decision need have the support of every
member-in fact. it is impossible to have such agree-
ment in any group. Your group should decide ahead
of time when you ",'ill push for consensus. Decisions
thilt may have a major impact on the direction of the
projector conduct of the team-such as ",'hich prob-
lem to study, or what ground rules to establish-should
belong to the v,'hole team and be supported by
consensus.
The brainstorming, multivoting, and nominal group
technique methods described in this chapter are very
structUred ways to reach consensus. Other less-formal
methods exist. and u team C:ln explore therr: :lS rr:crr:
bers become more relaxed in working with each ather.

The Council also requests public meetings to discuss the Work
Plan. To insure a full and open discussion of the issues and to
guarantee an objective evaluation, pUblic informational meetings
on the Work Plan should be conducted by the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency. The Agency, in consultation with the United
States Environmental Protection Agency, proposed the Project and
is charged with making the determination as to the adequacy of the
Work Plan. Given the fact that public access issue will not be
resolved by the City of Chanhassen for several months, and
assuming that funding remains available, the District requests
that the procedure for Agency review and approval of the Project
Work Plan include the holding of a series of public meetings with
area residents to secure their input as to the adequacy of the
Work Plan. The Watershed District assumes that review and
approval by the Agency includes the authority to modify or direct
changes in the Project Work Plan.
The Watershed District is not in a position to represent that
the public access condition can be complied with until the latter
part of the year 1989. The City of Chanhassen is seeking a grant
from the State, and assuming that the grant request is approved
later this fall or early winter, the access may not be acquired
until 1990. The Managers would appreciate a written response as
to whether funding for the project remains, and if so, the future
course of action the Agency intends to follow to provide the
meetings and hearings on the Plan. Please inform the undersiqned
if any additional submittals or reqeusts are required of the
District to preserve the project funding while the public access
and Work Plan review and approval process proceeds.

project or to field questions. This is where we need your help.
The City feels this is a major project and recognizes its impor-
tance to the quality of the lakes. we do not want to jeopardite
the project or the grant1 however, the questions posed to date
are sincere and valid ones. We would like to work with you and
the agencies involved in cleaning up our lakes.
