Five Year Capital Improvement Program
FROM:
DATE:
In the past, the Park and Recreation Commission has put together
the attached capital improvement program. The capital improve-
ment program identifies and prioritizes park projects for the
next five years. This plan is somewhat out of date, therefore,
I am bringing it back to you fo~. updating. The purpose of the
capital improvement program is to help plan for the upcoming .
years and can be used as a guideline at budget time.

MEMORANDUM

FROM:
Todd Hoffman, Recreation Supervisor
DATE: October 17, 1989
SUBJ: 1989 Summer Adult Softball Evaluation Results
At the conclusion of the 1989 summer softball season, an eval-
uation form was sent to all team managers. A self-addressed,
stamped envelope was enclosed with the evaluation to increase
convenience in responding. This is the first year a softball
evaluation form has been used in an attempt to improve this
program.
.
Of the 54 evaluations sent, 19 were returned for a 35% response
rate. Response rates based upon the different leagues varied a
great deal. The chart below shows the individual response
percentages.

A tabulation of the survey results is attached for your infor-
mation. Items included are a copy of the original survey showing
the number of responses for each question, Numbers 1-8; a graph
illustrating those results; a list of the additional responses to
Questions 1-8; a list of suggestions on how possibly to improve
each league. The responses to the question "Why do you par-
ticipate in this program?n; and any additional comments.
.
The overall rating of the program is consistently high; however,
a number of things can be worked on to improve this program.
- Officiating: 1989 marked a year in transition for our Umpires
Association. Many rookie umpires were beginning their
careers leading to some inconsistent calls being made.
This situation should improve as these new umpires gain
experience. I will work more closely with the Association
in future years to ensure that all rules specific to our
league are understood.

Game Times: The debate over the 6:00 p.m. start time con-
tinues. A vote will be taken at the organization meeting
in the spring. All league game times will remain con-
sistent; however, being either 6:00, 7:15 and 8:30 or 6:15,
7:30 and 8:45.
- Receivinq Leaque Information/League Meeting: League
material will be distributed in a more timely manner in
1990 and all questions will be addresed in the league
meetings. More time will be allowed for the meetings to
make this possible.
- Fees: Fees will continue to increase until our fees are
comparable to the "norm". Many communities build in in-
direct costs (satellites, ag lime, field maintenance,
lighting systems, etc.) along with the direct costs of
umpires, balls and trophies.
Other issues which will arise in the coming year are the
increased use of DataServ fields, the structure of the 35 and
Over League and playoffs, the possibility of an Over 40 league,
and the continuing question of player eligibility.
The survey proved to be an effective tool in initiating changes
in the Chanhassen Adult Summer Softball Program.

Additional Comments on Number
~ 2. Like the system of Thursday nights and some Fridays (Mens C).
Working women have hard time with early game, need more
lights, we need longer time so we can play full game or go to
3 balls, 2 strikes (Womens 0).
6:15 start time much better than 6:00 p.m. (35 and Over B).
Game times should be moved back to a 6:15 game time start (35
and Over B).
3. Umpires are not consistent and do not always know the rules.
4. tended to try to get the game over too often and
reflected that in his calls, or at least it seemed that way
(35 and Over B).
The umpiring was inconsistent, except for , the
"League Umpire Manager". For the dollars Chanhassen and the
teams spend, it would be nice to have consistent, experienced
umpires (Mens C).
~
For the first time since we have been in the league we really
felt there were some umpires that did not know the rules (35
and Over).
Umpires are very inconsistent with the same call from play-to-
play and game-to-game (Mens C).
5.
League information was excellent.
more than just reading the rules.
agreement between the leagues and
(Mens C).
League meeting should be
There should be some
teams on questionable rules
6. We liked the Wednesday-Saturday-Sunday schedule (35 & Over).
Would like to see playoff dates go back to a Wednesday-Friday-
Sunday schedule (35 & Over).
I thought we were supposed to have a double elimination tour-
nament with a consolation bracket - also 2! days does not
make it as much of a family outing as it previously has been
(35 & Over).
7. Two nights fields were in poor condition (Mens C).
Fields not in as good of condition, especially outfields #1
and #2, as in previous years. Have had some trouble getting
Field #1 lights turned on early enough for late games (35 &
Over).
~ 8. Good, but grow more and more expensive each year.
Do you have any suggestions for changes concerning league classi- .
fication, season length, league scheduling, playoff format, etc.,
that would improve your league or this program.
Industrial C: If it is the last game of the night there should
not be a time limit.
35 and Over: Only issue in the league is to police the over 35
issue. Still think there are some youngsters sneaking into the
program.
Create an "A: and "B" system within the 35 and over so that the
same teams do not dominate every year or invite them to join the
Industrial league.
Mens C: Our team would like to see more games played during the
season. Also would like to play 2 games in one night such as
Shakopee does.
Co-Rec: I think scheduling should be done as the outline stated,
12 games. Purchasing extra balls was ridiculous. Shorten the
season by playing double headers each night.
Why do you participate in this program?

Additional Comments:
League is being managed better as time goes on (35 & Over). You
did a great job of running the league and keeping the playoffs
together after the rain (Mens C). Once again, thanks for a great
season (Industrial C). Summer league has gone very well!
However, it would be nice if the Fall League umpires would be
better able to control the lights, as one of our games was can-
celled totally and one ended early (Industrial C). Good year
Todd, job well done! (35 & Over).

SUBJ: Lake Ann Park Fees
.
This item was presented at the October 24 Park and Recreation
Commission meeting. Upon conclusion of the discussion that
evening, the Commission directed staff to investigate park facil-
ity fees in other communities. A telephone survey of 12 other
metropolitan communities resulted in the information shown on the
attached chart. As can be seen, no other community surveyed
charges a general parking fee to enter a community park. Of the
eight communities which operate fully staffed public beaches,
four charge an entry fee and four do not. The final point of
information which can be derived from this chart is that it is
standard practice to charge for the use of a municipal pool.

Chanhassen, MN 55317
Dear Ms. Sietsma:
In a recent phone conversation with Ed Hasek, he requested that I
send you the enclosed materials relatIve to accessibility of
parks.
I find it very commendable that Chanhassen is developing a pro-
active philosophy towards accessibility of park facilities which
fits closely with Bloomington's - planning and designing
facilities and programs so that everyone in the community may use
them!
.
As I mentioned to Ed, the City of Bloomington has recently
completed improvements which now make all of the City's major
parks (those with permanent shelters) accessible. All new
playground equipment installed is accessible. In addition,
several materials have been developed over the course of a decade
which are available to share with other cities.
The City of Bloomington offers in-service consultation on park
accessibility through our Architectural Barriers Removal program.
This is charged at a rate of $17.00/hour. We'd be happy to
provide your staff and/or Commissioners with further
information/suggestions on planning for good access.
Please feel free to contact me to discuss any of these materials
or the possibility of an inservice. I can be reached by calling
881-5811, ext. 320.
Sincerely,
D~:MENT OF COMMUNITY SERVICES

opportunities to have a great time!
Picnics, playgrounds, hiking trails and much
more are available in Bloomington to enjoy

Summer means PICNIC TIME! The weather is
warm, the grass is green and the barbeques
are cooking! The good news for people with
disabilities -- Accessible picnic areas are
present in Bloomington. An accessible
picnic area has paved paths leading to the
grills and tables. The table itself is
constructed to accommodate wheelchairs. An
accessible picnic table has more leg space
at the end of the table so a person using a
wheelchair can wheel up to the end of the
table, sit comfortably, and enjoy the
picnic!
One accessible picnic area in Bloomington is
located on West Bush Lake at the Hyland
Recreation Center, 10145 E. Bush Lake Road.
Another is Moir Park, 104th St. and Morgan
Avenue South, in central Bloomington. Both
sites also have handicapped parking spaces

EXECOTIVE SUMMARY
The Hennepin County Park System provides programs and services
at 15 sites totaling thousands of acres with structures and
programs ranging from educational contracts with school districts
at the nature centers to leisure opportunities, such as walking on
paths for individual use. The system has previously incorporated
features of accessible design into many of its buildings and
programs. The park system has recently undertook the challenge of
exceeding building codes and government mandates to provide an
environment truly accessible to and usable by all persons.
Through this contracted study, the Hennepin County Park System
has demonstrated its interest in its parks to make them useful by
all persons. In line with this philosophy, the park system will be
incorporating the recommendations of this study into their planning
and promotional materials. The following recommendations are
listed in their order of priority. They are:
1. Installation of a passenger elevator at the Headquarters
facilities.
2.
Provision of accessibility features to the Clifton Fr~ch Gate
House to meet the needs of future handicap employees,
including the possibility of restroom modifications.
.
3. Pathways at the Hyland Park Facility from the recreational
building to the boat rental and from the parking area to the
new play structure.
4. Improvements to the Hyland Park Ski Chalet for access,
including improved parking, drop-off zone, building access,
restrooms, and signage.
5. Provision of outdoor restroom facilities which provide access
to the Lake Rebecca facility, appropriate park~ng, hard
surface pathways to major activity areas such as the picnic
and beach areas, provision of accessible docks and fishing
piers, and signage.

MEMORANDUM

Park and Recreation Commission

FROM:
Todd Hoffman, Recreation Supervisor
DATE: October 16, 1989
SUBJ: 1989 Lake Ann Park Receipts
The 1989 summer season at Lake Ann Park was not only cooler than
1988 in respect to temperatures, but gate receipts as well. The
total revenue for 1989 was $11,943.00, slightly greater than half
of the $23,461 collected in 1988. A total of 3,029 daily passes,
839 resident seasonal passes and 169 non-resident seasonal passes .
were sold. Subtract a 6% sales tax and the total collected
equals $11,226.42.
The decrease in revenue can be attributed to several factors; the
decrease in price of a daily pass from $3.00 to $2.00, not
charging participants of City sponsored sports and activities, and
a normal summer in respect to weather. Over 3000 daily passes
were sold accounting for a possible loss of $3,000. Approximately
1,000 participants in organized activities, i.e. softball, base-
ball, playground, swimming lessons were not required to purchase
a $5.00 seasonal pass accounting for another possible loss of
$5,000. Combine these factors and the season revenue figure
begins to come into focus.
This report is solely meant to report the revenue received
through the Lake Ann Park fee program. However, when the cost of
paying the gate attendants (approximately $5,500) and the cost of
printing passes ($800) are taken into consideration, one begins
to question the value of charging a fee. The outright and hidden
negativism towards paying to use a City Park may be a greater
price to pay than the monetary gain of $4,926.42 can justify.
The park fee is established by resolution each year; normally
during the month of January. This issue will be brought back to
the Park and Recreation Commission again to establish a recommen-
dation to pass along to the City Council later this year. In the .
meantime, you have an opportunity to develop an opinion on this
item.

Update (October 24, 1989)

The Park and Recreation Commission felt this information would be
helpful as the Council goes through the budgetary process. No
action was taken by the Commission, however, a recommendation
regarding Lake Ann fees will be rendered in early 1990.

DATE:
October 20, 1989
SUBJ: Oak View Heights
At the last Park and Recreation Commission meeting, staff was
directed to prepare a potenital park design for the proposed land
dedication on the Oak View Heights site plan. Mark Koegler has
prepared two concept plans for the site, one that shows the
ravine filled and one that does not.
The Commission also questioned whether the ravine could be
filled. There i~ nothing in the City ordinances that specificaly
prohibits the filling of a ravine. The developer or the City -
whoever owns the property at that time - would have to obtain a
grading permit which would be reviewed by the Engineering
Department and the Watershed District to determine the effect
such would have on drainage, etc. Additionally, if grading is
done within 200 feet of the wetland area a wetland alteration
permit would be needed to insure that the wetlands are not adver-
sely affected. As the ponding areas are protected wetlands, no
structures would be allowed within 75 feet of those areas.
Staff feels this 5+ acre site has the potential to be a unique
and interesting neighborhood park. The ravine provides a natural
explore and discover area that is not available in .anyother
neighborhood park. The desired facilities; basketball, tennis,
totlot, parking, picnic area and open space, can a11be accom-
modated without filling the ravine.
It is the recommendation of this ice to approve the Oak View
Heights site plan with the following conditions:
1. The developer shall dedicate the proposed 5+ acres of
parkland.
2. The developer shall do the rough and fine grading on the park
site in accordance with a grading plan prepared by the City.
Park and Recreation Commission
October 20, 1989
Page 2
.
3. The developer provide a 20 foot trail easement along the
sloped area above the wetlands from the park site to Powers
Boulevard.
4. The developer construct an 8 foot wide bituminous trail along
the east side of Powers Boulevard, the entire length of the
proposed development and that such be constructed at the time
the street improvements are made.
5. The developer construct a 5 foot wide concrete sidewalk on
the north side of Jenny Lane and that such be constructed
at the time the street improvements are made.
Park and Recreation Commission Update (October 24, 1989):
The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed this item at their
last meeting. Upon walking the site and reviewing the park con-
cept plan prepared by Mark Koegler (attached), they felt that the
proposed dedicated area of 5+ acres would be well suited for park
property. The Commission agreed the ravine should not be filled
and choose the design ideas on Exhibit 3.
The developer expressed that the requirement of grading and
seeding the park site in addition to land dedication was asking .
too much. Staff explained that this was typically required as in
Chanhassen Hills and Lake Susan Hills West. Staff would also
like to point out that of the 5+ acres being dedicated, only
3.75+ are developable due to the wetlands and the 75 ft. wetland
setbacks. The City does not tyically accept undevelopable prop-
erty in lieu of fees. (A case in point would be Chanhassen
Hills. They were required to dedicate 7.8 acres of developable
land for which they were given 50% credit on their park dedica-
tion fees. They also dedicated roughly 22 acres of wetlands for
which no credit was given.)
The park dedication fee requirement for property with a density
of 9.6 units per acre is 17% of the land value. The developerhas
indicated he has paid $40,000 per acre bringing the fee require-
ment to roughly $180,000. A land dedication of 3.75 acres would
be valued at roughly $150,000, thus the grading and seeding does
not represent a requirement above and beyond what is typical.
Park and Recreation Commission Recommendation:
The recommendation of the Park and Recreation Commission is to
require the following conditions before fi~al approval is given:
1. The developer shall dedicate the proposed 5+ acres of
parkland.

Chanhassen, MN 55317
Dear Ms. SietseMa,
I aM writing you in regards to the future of our Chanhassen
biking, running, and walking trails.
Recently, MY faMily Moved to Chanhassen frOM Eden Prairie to
settle in a SMall country-style village setting. In the process
of buying our hOMe, Meritor DevelopMent Co. gave us a copy of the
26 Mile trail Map proposed for the City of Chanhassen. This was
the final and Most iMportant factor in our decision to Move here.
Unfortunately, it was not until we Moved, that we and others in
our neighbohood, found out that the trail network had been voted
down.
This presents the Chanhassen Hills' developMent with SOMe serious
potential risk of harM to ourselves, our children, and our pets.
Due to the rapid growth of this popular area, nearby roadways are
constantl~ being traveled by us as well as Many construction
crews. These roadways(Hwy. 5, Hwy. 101, LYMan Blvd., Cty. 17)
are the only Means , in which we have for our fitness and
recreation. Kids on bikes, dogs on leashes, and people walking
along these roadshoulders are taking their lives into danger
every tiMe they want to partake in these activities.
I would be glad to help this COMMunity define the Major trails
that we need for our safety and pleasure. The ones our
developMent could use iMMediately are: along Hwy. 101, around
Lake Susan, the parkland connecting to Lake Susan, and along Hwy.
5 to connect tD Eden Prairie's intricate trail systeM.

Dear Mr. Melchert:
.
Thank you for the generous donation of $15,850 to the Chanhassen
Park and Recreation Department. As you may recall, past dona-
tions have been put into our LAWCON Grant fund. The funds are
then used as the local share of the matching grant. Chanhassen
received a $220,000 grant for the development of Lake Susan Park.
Of the $110,000 local share, almost $50,000 came from the Chaska
Lions' donations.
The most recent contribution was recently put into two funds. A
portion will be used to construct a fireplace in the community
picnic building we are planning to build at Lake Ann Park. The
Park and Recreation Commission plans to install a plaque into the
stone to recognize the Chaska Lions for their continued support.
The Commission also plans to start a new fund to be added to each
year as we go through the budget process. This fund will be used
to pay for lighting on the new soccer field at Lake Ann Park. As
we have no lighted soccer fields in the City, they will be well
used in summer soccer as well as fall soccer.
I speak for the City Council and Park and Recreation Commission
when I offer my sincere gratitude for your generous suport of our
park system. The members of the Chaska Lions can feel a sense of
pride in the coming years as these projects reach completion.
Again, thank you.

Dear Mr. Swenson:
.
This is in response to your letter of September 12, 1989 offering
to construct a boat access at Greenwood Shores Park. The City
appreciates the willingness of DNR to assist us in solving this
dilemna. However, the MPCA has indicated that the funds for the
Riley Chain of Lakes Clean Up Project will be diverted to other
projects and therefore an access is not necessary at this time.
If and when an application for this project is resubmitted, the
City would again be looking for access. However, as an access
would require compromising delicate wetland areas or a small
neighborhood park, the City has decided that such will not be
pursued at this time.
Again, thank you for your offer to assist us in this matter.
Sincerely,
p.O..
