Re: Park Trail Funding
Dear Roger:
During our meeting this past week we had an opportunity to
discuss the attached letters. This letter is to confirm the
conclusion reached during that meeting regarding trail funding.
The question arose in regards to a recommendation from the Park
Commission, to the City Council, recommending that the
Saddlebrook Development (Rick Murray's development to the west
and north of City Hall) be required to dedicate two boundary
trails as well as three interior trails through the development.
The City Council endorsed this recommendation. During review by
the City Council, the City Engineer stated that the trailway
construction could occur within the right-of-way on the interior
streets. Should the City Council approve the urban section for
Kerber Blvd., such could also accommodate an off-street trail,
similar to the Chaparral area, within the right-of-way. The
County Road 17 trail construction could only occur within the
right-of-way area if agreed to by the County.
Mr. Murray contacted this office shortly after the City Council
meeting. He asked that the City Council's action be placed in
writing so as to provide him guidance as he moves through the
development process. The attached response was prepared based on
conversations with the City Planner, City Engineer, and myself as
to our interpretation of the City Council's action. This
response was not sent to Mr. Murray as additional questions
started to arise. Specifically, could the City reclassify cer-
tain trails as "sidewalks" and thus force the developer into
paying for such? Could they remain with the designation as
approved, i.e. "trails" and still be considered as a cost to be
borne by the developer? Your conclusions to these questions were
as follows:
- Trail Dedication: State statute is specific in authorizing
a City to require the dedication of trails through new

.
_.--..-..,' '. .,...~. ',.-' .-. .....,~... '
developments. Statute is silent in terms of whether the
developer can be required to install the trail and/or
receive credit for such construction as a part of his park
dedication fees. Case law would strongly support the
necessity to provide a park credit equal to the actual
construction costs incurred by the developer, including a
reasonable credit for land dedicated for the trails them-
selves.
Sidewalks: A city may require the installation of
sidewalks as a part of new development. The cost would be
borne by the developer with no credits for park dedication.
Cities desiring to requir~ sidewalk construction must have
developed a comprehensive sidewalk plan identifying the
public need for such walkways, i.e. a definition of walk-
ways as they would lead to and from schools, central busi-
ness district, etc. An alternative would be to simply
require that all new subdivisions have sidewalk on one or
both sides of the roadway. This form of ordinance pre-
supposes that this type of construction is a continuation
of an existing sidewalk program or that means to install
sidewalks in older areas is accomplished, i.e. a special
assessment program to rebuild or install such. Absent ..
either a comprehensive plan dealing with sidewalk standards
and an ordinance requiring sidewalks to be constructed in
conformance with the plan, a requirement for a new builder
to construct sidewalks on one or more streets would be held
invalid.
- Trail Ordinance: The City of Lakeville has recently passed
an ordinance requiring the payment of $135.00 per lot in
each new subdivision for trail construction. The ordinance
is based upon the desire of the City to complete an adopted
trail plan and to assure that new development provided
their fair share of new trail construction. It is the
belief of your office that this ordinance is valid and pro-
vides an alternative to problems denoted in the two sec-
tions above. In effect, the City of Lakeville is
increasing their overall park dedication fees by the $135 -
such solely being dedicated for trail construction.
Although very few cities have a similar ordinance, there
appears to be significant interest in such by other cities.
Conclusion
Requiring the Saddlebrook development to construct either
sidewalks or trails, without giving a park credit, appears
arbitrary when similar requirements have not been placed on other .
developments nor does the City currently have an adopted trail
plan/ordinance requiring construction of such. If the City
wishes to pursue requiring trail construction, adoption of a
.

comprehensive trail plan should occur as soon as possible
together with an ordinance modification requiring development to
carry out such construction as a part of all new development
applications. The alternative to this would be the adoption of a
comprehensive trail plan together with an ordinance requiring the
payment of a trail fee at time of building permit. Since
Saddlebrook is currently required to pay park fees at time of
permit, a majority of the lots would be paying the new trail fee
(if adopted).

MEMORANDUM

DATE: April 29, 1987
SUBJ: Totlot Plans
The 1987 Capital Improvement Budget includes tot lot equipment for
Bandimere Heights Park, Greenwood Shores and North Lotus Lake Park.
Earl F. Anderson and Associates has supplied us with playground
equipment in the past and has been very helpful with designing plans.
Attached are proposed plans for each park. All include a pea gravel
play surface and wood borders. I have also included a catalogue so
that you can see what is available.
The Bandimere Heights plan includes a five deck main structure,
chain net climber, slide, 56" vertical ladder, and 42" vertical
ladder. The budget allocates $3,000. The proposed plan has a cost
of $2,916 for equipment and $525 for wood border, totaling $3,441.
.
The plan for tot lot equipment at North Lotus Lake includes a five
deck main structure, chain net climber, fire pole, pipe wall, tire
swing, spiral slide and vertical ladder. The cost of the equipment
in this plan is $4,483 and the border is $675. The budget allocates
$5,000 for this project and the total of Phase I is $5,158. We have
shown a possible addition to this (Phase II) which has a cost of
$5,060.
The Greenwood Shores plan includes a five deck main structure, chain
net climber, vertical ladder, pipe wall, and slide. The cost of the
equipment is $2,934 and the border is $694 for a total of $3,628.
The budget allocates $3,000 for tot lot equipment at this park. The
proposed Phase II, as shown, would cost approximately $2,977.
All of these plans are over budget as the design consultant did not
originally include the price of the border in each plan. These
plans can be cut back. Also, the consultant showed future expansion
at two of the parks, shown as Phase II. The border quoted allows
for this expansion.
This office is recommending that staff be authorized to order play .
equipment for Greenwood Shores, North Lotus Lake Park and Bandimere
Heights Park making cutbacks where possible so as to stay within the
approved budget.

BACKGROUND
This City has plans to extend Carver Beach Road to Frontier
Trail. A major portion of the street right-of-way has already
been obtained through Triple Crown Estates and Chanhassen Vista.
The proosed trail plan identifies a trail segment along that
extension.
RECOMMENDATION
It is the recommendation of this office for the City to acquire a
street easement wide enough to accommodate a trail for the Carver
Beach Road extension, along the west side of the proposed develop-
ment. In addition, I am recommending that the City accept park
dedication fees in lieu of park land as this is not a park defi-
cient area.

RECOMMENDATION
As this is a development of less than 5 acres, it is not a can-
didate for parkland. However, residents in this area have
expressed a need for trails. A trail along Yosemite would be the
first section of a potential connection to Lake Lucy Road.
It is the recommendation of this office to accept park dedication
fees in lieu of parkland and to request a 20 foot trail easement
along the west side of Yosmite Avenue.

RE: Meeting Schedule
.
At the April meeting the Commission discussed meeting more fre-
quently. The City Council currently meets the first and third
Monday of each month and the Planning Commission meets the second
and fourth Wednesday. I would suggest that the Park and
Recreation Commission meet the second and fourth Tuesday - always
meeting on the second Tuesday and meeting on the fourth only when
there are enough items to warrant an additional meeting.
Changing to the second Tuesday will put us in the same time frame
as Planning in regards to planning application deadlines.
Hopefully, this will help eliminate last minute site plan reviews.
This schedule will help to eliminate the lengthy meetings that we
have experienced lately.
If the Commission should desire to make this change, a motion
would be in order. This action does not need Council approval.

SUBJ: 1987 Easter Egg Hunt
Todd Hoffman, the Park and Recreation Assistant, did an excellent
job of organizing the 1987 Easter Egg Hunt and Coloring Contest.
Over 200 children turned out for the event with about 50 entering
the coloring contest.
The event started at 10:00 a.m. with Hannah Hare and the Pink
Pobble entertaining the children with a skit called, "There's No
One Eggs-actly Like You". They did a great job of getting
children involved and entertained. The children then made their
Easter baskets before they went out to hunt Easter candy. No one
went without after scrambling for the hidden goodies.
.
There were seven winners on the color contest; Susan Heinzerline,
Erin Shea, Molly Goers, Brandice Kelzenberg, Sarah Lenz, Brandi
Thompson and Denise Schlenk. All contestants were given a prize
for entering and the winners each received a board game.
This is one of the many events that is possible due to the
generous contributions from the business community and volun-
teers. We received over $400 in donations (a record!) and had
plenty of help to man the event. Special thanks goes to the
following volunteers; Stacy Ashworth, Lynne Pilgrim, Nancy
Robinson, Jim Mady, Dan Anderson, Karen Engelhardt and the
Chanhassen Boy Scouts.

SUBJ: Update on Herman Field
The City Council reviewed the access plan for Herman Field at
their last meeting. The Council acted to authorize a more
detailed feasibility study to be done on the proposed sites.
.
Residents from the Herman Field area attended the City Council
meeting and questioned the development plan for the park as well
as the access plan. I will be writing a letter to the homeowners
of that area describing the history of the park and how we got to
this point. I will be scheduling this item on the June agenda
and inviting the residents in to voice their concerns.

RE: Letter from Roberta Brunberg
Attached is a letter from Roberta Brunberg expressing her concern
about pets in parks and on public property. I have responded to
Ms. Brunberg's concerns in a letter, (also attached), stating
that the Commission is in the process of developing a trail plan
and will be addressing items such as this.
Typically it is permissable to allow pets on trailways, but not
in parks where people are encouraged to use the grassy areas.
Once trail construction is underway this office will be
encouraging the Commission to address these types of concerns in
more detail.
No action is required at this time. I have included this item
for your information only.

RE:
Parking plan at Greenwood Shores & Carver Beach
.
The Park and Recreation Commission, at their March meeting,
recommended that the City open parking areas at Greenwood Shores
Park and Carver Beach. I have asked Mark Koegler to design a
parking plan for each park which involves opening parking this
year, including ways to contain that parking. A second phase
will show a planting plan that could be implemented next year to
make the parking areas more attractive and more permanent. Mark
will present this plan at Tuesdays meeting.
Staff felt that a parking plan would be better received by the
City Council. It is the recommendation of this office to open
parking in Greenwood Shores and Carver Beach according to the
proposed parking plan.

SOBJ: Trail Plan
At the last Park and Recreation Commission meeting, we reviewed trail
alignments within the City of Chanhassen. The ultimate trail system is
extensive, connecting all major points of interest within the City as well as
providing linkages to the trails in Eden Prairie, Shakopee and Chaska.
Obviously, it is impossible to develop the entire system at one time.
Therefore, the next step is to determine an appropriate phasing schedule for
the system.
.
The amount of trail construction in anyone phase is directly tied to
available funding. Funding for trails is available through a limited number
of sources. !hose currently available include:
General O:>ligation Park Improvement Bonds
General Fund Monies
LA~/LCMR Grants
Municipal State Aid Street Construction
Use of Park Dedica tion Fees
Reserve Funds
RE-C=:-. -::::J
APR 2 9 i~S7
Cln~ Of CHANHA~;:)t.:N
.
.
The following is a brief corrment on each of these sources:
.
Park Improvement Bonds - Municipalities commonly utilize Park Improvement
Bonds for construction of major facilities. The authority to sell such
bonds usually requires voter approval. Chanhassen has not had a Park
Bond Issue since the late 1960's when Lake Ann Park was originally
acquirErl and developed.
General Fund Money - If trails were determined to be a community
priority, the City Council could allocate an amount of money from the
General Fund for construction purposes. The Ci ty of Maple Grove, for
example, currently allocates $40,000 amually for trail development.
LAWCON/LCMR Grants - Trails are still grant-eligible items under the
LAW:X:>N/LCMR grant program. In order to enhance the probability of trails
being fundErl, most ccmnunities combine them with other improvements which
enhance public access to lakes.
Park Dedication Fees - Park dedication fees collected from residential,
commercial and industrial development can be appliErl to the construction
of trail systems. In lieu of a cash contribution, a municipality can
negotiate to have the developer provide the land and install the trails
as a part of overall park credits.
Reserve Funds - Reserve funds which have been accumulated from a variety
of sources can be used to construct trail systems.
BasErl upon the discussion at the March meeting, the identified trail alignment
has been broken down into three phases. Phase I improvements are recommended
for completion within the next five years. Phase II improvements are to occur
wi thin the next 5 to 10 years and Phase III improvements are 10 years plus.
In compiling a general phasing recommendation, the following factors were
taken into consideration:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
.
Safety
Property OWner Acceptance
Capi tal Cost
Maintenance Cost
COntinuity with Existing Trails
Nurrt>er of Users Served
Linkage with Regional or other Municipal Trails
Accommodation of School Pedestrian Traffic
Recommended Phase I improvements are sh:>wn on Exhibit 1. The Phase I trail
network focuses on supplying trails in and around the downtown/Lotus Lake area .
which contains the city's highest concentration of residents. Additionally,
the system addresses safety concerns along Minnewashta Parkway and connects
major points such as the Minnewashta Regional Park, city parks and trails in
Eden Prairie and Chaska. The Phase I system contains a total of 16 miles of
trails. The total estimated cost for first phase improvements is $699,000.
Phase II trails (Exhibit 2) exparrl the system started in Phase I. This phase
contains additional connections to Chaska arrl Eden Prairie and ties into the
Minnesota National Wildlife Refuge regional trail in Shakopee. Phase II
totals 16.5 miles of trails and has an estimated cost of $627,000 (1987).
Canpletion of the ultimate trail system is called for in Phase III (Exhibit
3). This phase includes 17.5 miles of trails and has a projected cost of
$650,000 (1987). Routes in the thil:d phase canplete the internal system and
further expand the connection opportunities to adjacent municipalities.
Chanhassen's ultimate trail plan carries a 1987 price tag of almost
$2,000,000. Due to the magni tude of the cost involved, it may be necessary
for the phases to be adjusted into 10 or more year increments. After further
input from the Park and Recreation Commission, estimates of potential funding
levels will be provided and additional phasing recommendations will be
prepared. As a part of Tuesday's meeting, it would be helpful if the Park and
Recreation Commission would offer canments on the proposed priority of trail
canponents within each of the three phases. In canpiling these priorities, it
is suggested that the criteria listed earlier in this memorandum be applied to .
each trail segment.
