Pfahl Proposed Draft of Parks and Recreation Survey Attached you will find a copy of the proposed draft of the Parks and Recreation survey commissioned by the Chanhassen Parks Department. The survey form is written as a telephone script for completing the study. The survey will be discussed at the next meeting of the Parks Committee, please bring any suggestions or comments to that meeting. TOPICS STUDIED The major topical areas covered in the survey include; -Facilities -Programs -Funding ~Personal/Household Information Other specific conclusions which may be extrapolated either directly or indirectly from the data are public interests in: -trail system, -indoor recreational community center, -local demographics (for comparison), and -relative importance of major park and recreation services. SURVEY FORMAT The survey has been developed in the form of a telephone script. It takes approximately seven minutes to complete one survey. At an estimated five surveys per hour, with six people calling 6 hours per day, approximately 180 surveys will be done per day. In order to achieve a statistically valid sample of the population 340 of the 3000 households in Chanhassen must be contacted. A telephone survey was chosen as the form for the survey over a personal interview and mail survey due to cost and time requirements. Please review the enclosed draft and feel free to make any comments or suggestions. If you have any further questions regarding the survey, please contact me at 224-6040.

The Easter Egg Hunts in the past have included making Easter Baskets, a coloring contest, a kite flying contest, and hunting for hidden Easter candy. . This year this event will see a few changes. I will be deleting the kite flying contest altogether as it has not attracted the participants as I had hoped. The kite contest was originally intended for the kids who were too old to hunt for Easter candy. I will be looking for an activity to replace this one and am open to any suggestions that you may have. The Easter Egg Hunt will be held on Saturday morning, April 18, from 10:00 until noon. Please keep this date open as I will be needing your help to run this event. . CITY OF CHAHHASSEH ~ 690 COULTER DRIVE. P.O. BOX 147 .

February 26, 1987 DATE: SUBJ: Fox Hollow Drive Extension and North Lotus Lake Park In late fall 1986, citizens of the Fox Hollow subdivision peti- tioned to delete the connection of their neighborhood to Pleasant View Road. The City Council's initial reaction was a positive . one. North Lotus Lake Park's access was also proposed via the road to be deleted. Staff reviewed alternatives and requested the Coun- cil to table final action until all alternatives could be explored. We believe a tentative agreement has been reached with the neighborhood, Bloomberg Companies (developer to the north of the park), and City Council. This alternative would involve moving the tennis court to the north, constructing the parking area to the south, and constructing a driveway to pro- vide a secondary access to the neighborhood. This tentative agreement was subject to refinement by staff and review by the Park and Recreation Commission for their input and thoughts. Although the Commission may be disturbed with the proposed change in plans, the City Council did need to find some alternative, i.e. after review by the City Engineer it was demonstrated that significant non-neighborhood traffic would occur within the Fox Hollow development if the street was constructed as originally proposed. Attached please find the revised park plan which shows the changes noted above. Mark Koegler will attend Tuesday's meeting to present these changes. . 33C-:. '. PA~L ROJINA etol Kill.

Canprehensive Plan Update. The discussion will focus on the following issues: 1. Trail types including advantages and disadvantages 2. Acquisition methods 3. Preliminary cost range 4. Existing facilities 5. Neighboring community facilities (existing and proposed) 6. Regional facilities 7. Local and regional points of interest Of these topics, items 4 through 7 will be reviewed and discussed at the meeting. Background infonnation on the first three topics is presented herein to allow review prior to the meeting. Trail Types A key component in the assembly of any trail plan is a definition of various trail types. Prior to the identification of trail types, the city needs to agree on trail usage by specifically defining their function and permitted users. Walking, roller skating, skate boarding, bicycling, horseback riding, cross country Skiing, snowmobile riding and motorcycle riding are all activities whim can take place within a trail system. The Park and Recreation Commission needs to define which of these activities are appropriate for the Chanhassen system. . . . . The trail plan contained wi thin the 1980 Comprehensive Plan was intended for non-motorized uses specifically focusing on walking, cross country skiing and bicycling. Due to recent ordinance changes, the city is considering the provision of parks wi thin the rural area if trails are a part of rural park services, it seems logical that the city will receive pressure for the installation of equestrian trails. The 1980 plan contained three classifications of bikeways (Exhibit 1). These classifications relate primarily to the relationship between bicycles, pedestrians and motorized vehicles. In addition to these classifications, trails can also be categorized by locational criteria such as those along streets, those within parks and open space areas and those that follow corridors between private lot lines. The following is a comparison of some of the advantages and disadvantages of each of these types of trails. Trail Location Advantages o Easy monitoring o Readily identifiable route o Easier to finance - construction can be canbined wi th street improvements Along Streets Within Parks o Few vehicle conflicts o Trails can follow natural features such as drainageways o Development cost may be grant eligible Between Lot Lines o Few vehicle conflicts o Trails can follow natural features such as drainageways Acquisition Methods Disadvantages o Motor vehicle conflicts o Maintenance may require specialized equipment o Abutting property conflicts o Very difficult to moni tor o Public familiarity requires promotional effort o Abutting property conflicts o Perceived security problems o Additional sidewalk system may be needed o Higher level of maintenance required Essentially, two acquisition methods exist for trail systems: dedication and easement. The major difference between the two is simply ownership. When land for trails is dedicated, the property is actually owned by the city. In easement situations, the city receives only the right to use the property and ownership remains in private hands. Easement agreements typically contain language specifying allowed uses and restrictions for both parties. Despite these agreements, problems can occur. Setbacks for buildings are measured from lot lines, not from easement lines. This can result in structures such as houses which are located very close to trails. More frequent problems experienced by cities involve fences. Homeowners will sometimes install fences along trail areas despite the fact that r-36 exhibit 1 . Bikeway Classification Class I I.

This situation has led to many communities such as Eden Prairie who will acquire trails only through dedication. Trail easements and dedications typically range from 20 to 100 feet in width. Preliminary Cost Range The cost of trail construction varies depending on the type of trail, base conditions, etc. As a general rule of thumb, an 8 foot wide bituminous trail wi th a compacted aggregate base averages approximately $42,000 per mile. Based on this figure, replacement of the existing tra il from Co. Rd. 17 to Lake Ann Park would cost approximately $21,000. A trail along Co. Rd. 17 from the Excelsior border to LYman Boulevard would cost over $100,000. CITY 0 F CBAHBASSEH 690 COULTER DRIVE. P.O. BOX 147 . CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 MEMORANDUM TO: Park and Recreation Commission FROM: Lori Sietsema, Park and Recreation Coordinator DATE: February 26, 1987 SUBJ: Herman Field Access Plan Attached please find the Herman Field Access Feasibility Study as completed by Mark Koegler of VanDoren Hazard Stallings. The study looks at three possible access points for Herman Field and describes the costs, advantages and disadvantages to each. Mark will attend Tuesday's meeting to discuss the study further. The Park and Recreation Commission is asked to review the study and to make a recommendation as to how the City should proceed with access to the park. It is staff's recommendation to go with the Forest Avenue alternative, which is centrally located to the north of the park. I would also recommend that the Com- mission request the City Council to determine if Forest Avenue can be constructed as a public improvement project. This would allow the City to pay for that portion of the project through assessments and general obligation bonds, rather than using the park fund. q . . . . e I -'I' () I t I. I,. /If./f "-../.
