This area is adequately served by City Center Park, South Lotus
Park or St. Hubert's School. Trails are required along Frontier
Trail, however, the contours of this proposal are not conducive
to trail construction.
As we move into the referendum on trails, residents are asking
for a commitment as to which side of the street they will be
built. This proposal forces us to make a decision on at least
this section of Frontier Trail. Staff has reviewed the length of
Frontier Trail and found that the west side will more easily
accommodate a trail.
RECOMMENDATION
It is the recommendation of this office to accept park and trail
fees in lieu of parkland and trail development. Also, to pursue
trail development on the west side of Frontier Trail.

EXISTING PARKS:
Herman Field is located to the southwest of the
development. MIS is located across Hwy. 41 to
the southeast.
COMP PLAN:
The proximity of existing parks does not make
this a park deficient area. Although the Comp
Plan does not call for parkland, trail easements
should be acquired along the west side of Hwy.
41 to continue that linear system. Additionally,
a trail along Oriole Lane would provide a
pedestrian access from this neighborhood to
Herman Field.

BACKGROUND
This proposal was spurred by the proposed HSZ development at the
corner of Highways 7 and 41. It was necessary to vacate and
realign West 64th Street through the Gary Reed property. When
the vacation of West 64th Street was approved, they requested
that a trail easement be retained and an 8 ft. trail be
constructed (see attached map).
As it is likely that a request to vacate Oriole Lane will be sub-
mitted, a formal recommendation should be made to retain at
least 20 ft. for trail purposes. This will provide a pedestrian
access to Herman Field.
RECOMMENDATION
It is the recommendation of this office to accept park dedication
fees in lieu of parkland and trail fees in lieu of trail develop-
ment. It is also recommended that a 20 foot trail easement be
retained along Oriole Lane and along Hwy. 41, if such cannot be
accommodated within the right-of-way.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Park and Recreation Commission
FROM: Lori Sietseman, Park and Recreation Coordinator
DATE: June 14, 1988
SUBJ: Park Ordinance Amendments
A number of items have been brought up this year that require an
amendment to the park ordinance. These items, listed below, have
been brought to my attention through complaints and through com-
mission discussion.
. Prohibiting boat mooring, private dock and rafts on park property
Largely due to discussions regarding Carver Beach Park, it is
apparant that our current ordinance does not prohibit private
rafts or mooring of boats off of park property. If the com-
mission feels strongly that this should not be allowed, then an
amendment is in order. Staff feels that for better control and
enforcement, the ordinance should clearly state all that is pro-
hibited.
Glass Containers
This year we have received an excessive number of complaints
about broken glass in the park beach areas. We have park rule
signs that prohibit glass containers in beach areas, however, the
glass is being broken in all areas. Again for the ease of enfor-
cement our ordinance should prohibit glass containers in all
areas of the parks.
Pets
.
We have discussed this item to some extent in the past, but not
taken any formal action. Although the current ordinanceprohi-
bits pets in the park, it does not discuss trails. This should
be clearly stated. Additionally, as more people are walking their
dogs, staff feels that a pooper scooper ordinance would help the
problem of dog fouling.
PRC .
June 14, 1988

These changes are not to restrict people more, but are to more
clearly define the intent of the ordinance. If the commission has
additional amendments, we should include them in the same
recommendation to the City Council.

SUBJ: Lake Ann Park Shelter
.
Attached please find a letter to the Chanhassen Legion outlining
the current cost figures of the park shelter. The original cost
estimate by Torn Klingelhutz was $25,000. The Council approved
$15,000 to be loaned to the Legion for the materials and the
Legion agreed to provide the labor and any other costs.
The project now exceeds the original cost estimate of $25,000 at
$28,300, (not including electrical). It is clear that everyone
would like the project to be completed as soon as possible. The
question is, will the city authorize a loan increase to $25,000
and are we willing to pay the $3,300 not currently budgeted by
either the City or Legion.
The Chaska Lion's Club recently made two donations to the Park
Department ($6,900 and $4,200). A potential solution is to use
this money to fund the completion of the interior and electrical
work ($8,000).
Staff feels this is a viable alternative 1 however, it should be
noted that such will reduce either the reserve fund or the 1989
capital improvement project fund. A second alternative would
involve requesting the Legion to pay the $3,3001 after all, had
the project been completed in 1986 with volunteer labor, it would
have come in under budget. Please realize that the second alter-
native may result in bad feelings with the Legion and undoubtedly
delay the completion of the building.

,} Dear Bernie:
Thank you for the prompt action by the Legion Board on making a decision about
the shelter building at Lake Ann Park. As per our recent telephone conversation
I understand that the Legion will pay for the completion of the shelter building
up to $25,000. The following is a list of expenditures to date:
True Value (building materials)
Richard Eckroad (structural engineering)
Braun Engineering
Pladsen Concrete and Masonry
Dawn Construction (frffine set-up)
South Side Lumber

500.00 paid by Legion
1,539.33
472.11
2,839.93

.
The total cost for the cornpletion of the interior is estimated to be $18 , 000, of
which, according to my figUres, the Legion is willing to pay up to $6,727.53. ~
The estimate for the electrical work, to be paid by the City, is roughly $8,000.
This leaves approximately $3,300 which is neither being budgeted by the Legion
nor the City. I will be taking this i tern to the Park and Recreation Carmission
and the City Council for consideration as to who should pay that $3,300.
It is my understanding that the Legion Board has approved the quote fran Mike
Woitalla for the interior work. I will be contacting Mr. Woitalla as soon as I
get Council approval on the additional expenses.
Sincerely,

DATE: June 23, 1988
SUBJ: 4th of July
.
Chanhassen's 1988 4th of July celebration is going to be bigger
than in past years thanks to the continued support of Chanhassen's
businesses and some new involvement of two local civic organiza-
tions. The celebration is scheduled for the three day weekend of
July 2, 3, and 4. Saturday's events include the return of the
Men's Softball Tournament and the addition of a co-rec softball
and volleyball tournament, an adult fishing contest and sailboard
demonstrations. The Chanhassen Rotary will be operating two
concession stands, one for the tournaments and the other at the
beach.
Sunday is family day at the park with the return of the kid's
fishing contest, family games and innertube races. New events
include fire truck tours, horse rides, sand castle building and
a Ronald McDonald show. The Chanhassen Women of Today will also
be providing carnival games and the Rotary will be back with
concessions.
.
Monday night includes the return of the street dance featuring
50's and 60's music by the Hi-Topps, the community picnic and the
largest fireworks display ever presented in Chanhassen. New
attractions include caricature artists, a face painter, a mime, a
juggler, Chanhassen Women of Today carnival games, Chanhassen
Rotary concessions and beer garden and a huge red, white and blue
balloon release. The location of Monday night's events will be
the south half of the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre parking lot.
This location was chosen for two reasons. It provides us with an
opportunity to introduce the residents to the redeveloped down-
town area and for the lack of a reasonable alternate location.
Banner Fireworks Display Company will no longer launch the
fireworks in the City Center Park area and Lake Ann Park is
limited by parking capacity and congested traffic patterns. The
location for the 1989 celebration is an issue which has yet to be
decided. The downtown lighting ceremony will include a speech by
Park and Recreation Commission
June 23, 1988
Page 2
.
Mayor Hamilton, concluding with the lighting of the new street
lights and twinkle lights in the boulevard trees, complete with
the launching of a burst of fireworks. The celebration location
will include a 40' x 80' lighted circus tent, seating for 500
people, a stage and dance area, a beer garden, concessions, car-
nival games and satellites. The entire area will be roped off
with red, white and blue banners and decorated with festive
balloon bouquets.
I urge you to pass the word about this years 4th of July celebra-
tion. If you are able and willing to assist in any of the events
taking place over the three days, please let me know. You do not
need to commit yourself for an entire day. Any assistance you
can provide on a particular event is needed and would be appre-
ciated. The Park and Recreation Department is the driving force
behind this celebration, with the continued support of those
already involved and with new groups becoming involved each year,
this celebration is becoming a tradition residents look forward
to.

Dear Ms. Sietsema,
On Tuesday, June 21st, I took my son to Lake Ann for his
little league baseball game. I was told at the entrance that
there was a new rule this year stating in effect that if you
plan to stay and watch the game, you have to pay the entrance
fee. Even the coaches, whose help is voluntary, were required
to pay! We were at Lake Ann on May 24th, for a game and no
such "rule" was in effect. We've never had to pay for these
games before either here or any other community we've lived
in.
Also, the parents have no say in where the games are
played. We receive a schedule at the beginning of the season .
stating that two games are to be played at Lake Ann. I
thought the City of Chanhassen encouraged family partici-
pation in sports. Evidently the greater interest is in
revenue accumulation which supplements the already high taxes
which we continue to pay. The City of Chanhassen needs to
reevaluate this preposterous policy which serves only to
detract from parental participation in children's athletics.
Yours truly,
~~

Eurasian Watermilfoil
.
I received a call from Cindy Gilman, Co-President of the Lotus
Lake Homeowners Association, who stated that an article in the
June 13th edition of the Sailor Newspaper is causing their
organization some concern. The article is on the front page of
the Sailor and concerns a new weed discovered in Lake Minnetonka
that chokes out other weeds and destroys zooplankton on which
fish feed.
The article states that Lake Minnetonka was probably infested by
by a boat that had been used in other infested waters and
then the weeds being transferred by that boat to Lake Minnetonka.
Apparently the weeds get caught in the props of the boat and
people fail to clean the props, subsequently taking their boats
from one lake to the other spreading the weed. The article
states that the DNR will be posting signs on the public accesses
to Lake Minnetonka asking that boaters check their props for
weeds prior to launch.
Mrs. Gilman is asking that we also post signs at our public
accesses for boaters to be aware of this new threat to our lakes
and ask that they check their props and boats for any weeds that
might be transferred. You might want to bring this up to the
Park and Recreation Commission for their advice. I am including

SUBJ: Chan Vista Clean-Up
As you are well aware, we have received several complaints about
the construction debris at the Chan Vista subdivision. From the
beginning, Rick Novak has always been cooperative in keeping the
job sites as clean as possible. Dumpsters are provided at each
I new home under construction. Labor crews clean the job site
daily and as needed along the silt fence and pond. Recently,
complaints have been received about the litter in the pond. On .
Wednesday, June 15th, I spoke with the job superintendent at Chan
Vista about the litter in the pond. That same day his laborer
was sent to clean all litter in and around the pond. As of June
13, 1988, Rick Novak has hired a full time laborer, his sole job
will be to keep the subdivision clean. Hopefully, this will stop
further complaints from residents about the trash in and around
the Chan vista subdivision. Try to remember that along with
construction, there will always be some litter, muddy streets,
dust and noise. I will continue to check on the clean-up not
only at Chan Vista but all new developments and construction
sites.

Council Action Establishing Trailway Task Force
Congratulations! The City Council, at their June 13th meeting,
acted to appoint all of the applicants to the Trailway Task
Force, including the following people:
.
Sue Boyt
Mike Lynch
Carol Dunsmore
Richard Donnay
Karen Hasse
The first meeting of the Task Force will be held on July 14 at
City Hall. Our first order of business will be to become fami-
liar with the trail plan and then try to understand why this item
failed in February. The main thrust of this group will be to
hold public meetings to explain where the trails are planned,
what types of trails are planned, and the time line for the dif-
ferent sections of trail.
Again, the meeting is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, July
14. Please call me at 937-1900 if you are unable to attend.

Oriole Lane
At their last meeting, the Park and Recreation Commission learned
that the residents in the area of Highway 7 and 41 may be peti-
tioning to vacate Oriole Lane. The Commission would like your
office to be aware that they are not against such, but would like
to see the City retain a 20 foot easement for trail purposes.
This trail easement would provide a pedestrian access to Herman
Field Park.
