MINUTES
PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION
DECEMBER 3, 1985
The Park and Recreation Commission meeting was called to order at
7:45 p.m. by Chairman, Mike Lynch.
Members Present: Mike Lynch, Tom Schoenecker, Mike Rosenwald,
Charlie Robbins, Wallace McKay, Curt Robinson
Members Absent: Joe Warneke
Minutes: The Commission reviewed the minutes of October 1, 1985.
Lynch moved to accept the minutes as presented. The motion was
seconded by Rosenwald and carried unanimously.
Commissioner Tom Schoenecker's Resignation: The Commission read
Schoenecker's letter of resignation. They expressed their regret
that he was unable to continue to serve on the Commission and
said they had enjoyed working with him.
Robinson moved to recommend that the City accept Tom Schoenecker's
resignation from the Park and Recreation Commission. The motion
was seconded by McKay and passed unanimously.
The Commission also recommended that the City Council authorize
staff to pursue applicants to fill the vacant position.
Lake Lucy Highlands Proposed Subdivision Review:
Sietsema presented the subdivision proposed by Merrill Steller,
located on the northwest side of Lake Lucy. Sietsema pointed out
Outlot A on the plan and said that the applicant was interested
in selling this unbuildable piece to the City for park purposes.
She said that property was to be divided into lots no smaller
than 2.5 acres and that although this is shown as a park defi-
cient area, it was questionable if the need existed. She did
recommend, however, that a trail easement along the Lake Lucy
shore be requested, as shown in the Land Use Plan.
The Commission discussed the proposal stating that the property
was not far from Lake Ann Park and felt parkland was not needed
in that area. They also agreed that because more than half of
Outlot A is wet and it is an unbuildable piece, that it would not
be beneficial for the City to acquire it. They said that because
a City trail system was a priority at this time that it would be
advantageous for the City to obtain a trail easement along the
lake shore.
Sietsema also recommended that the City request a trail easement
along the new Lake Lucy Road, proposed to go through this sub-
division. She said that a walkway/bikeway, similar to that on
Kerber Boulevard, would add to the City trail system.
Schoenecker moved to recommend that the City accept park dedica-
tion fees in lieu of parkland in the Lake Lucy Highlands

Subdivision, that the City request a trail easement along the
normal Lake Lucy high water line, and that the City request a
trail easement along the new Lake Lucy Road which is proposed in
this subdivision. The motion, seconded by Rosenwald, carried
unanimously.
CHANHASSEN ESTATES/HIDDEN VALLEY RECREATIONAL FACILITY FOLLOWUP:
Sietsema stated that at the time of the Hidden Valley site plan
review, the Commission was concerned that the existing park land
would not be able to support the additional development. At that
time the Commission discussed a number of possibilities to add
active recreational facilities to the area.
Sietsema stated that the City Council did not act on the
Commission's recommendation to request a parcel with the new
development for active use. She asked the Commission if they
felt a followup on this item was necessary.
The Commission discussed a number of possibilities, noting that
it would be most desirable to have additional facilities
centrally located. They discussed the possibility of acquiring a
parcel to the west of the Hidden valley development, but felt
accessibility would be limited. They discussed adding facilities
to the existing park. Sietsema said that a nature walk could be
constructed down there, but due to the wetlands, 'a ballfield and
tennis court would not be possible. The Commission also
discussed the possibility of constructing a tennis court, totlot
and volleyball court on the 2t acre site of the old water treat-
ment plant. Lynch asked staff to investigate the feasibility of
creating a small park on the old water treatment plant site, con-
sidering accessibility, streets, etc.
McKay asked if reasons or explanations could be given when a
Commission's recommendation was not approved. Schoenecker said
he felt the Commission would be more effective if a Commission
member went to the City Council meetings to back up their recom-
mendations. Lynch said that it was his experience that it did
not make a difference. Lynch suggested that a letter be sent to
the Council asking that an explanation be given when actions were
made against the Commission's recommendation.
Sietsema said that she would update the Commission on the City
Council's actions on park related items and provide them with
City Council minutes.
The Commission asked staff to obtain DNR specifications and find
out the cost of a floating walkway. The Commission also asked
staff to find out if the City Engineer felt a walkway along
Highway 101 would be feasible.

HOCKEY ASSOCIATION PROPOSAL, UPDATE: Sietsema said that the
Chanhassen/Chaska Hockey Association (CCHA) has requested City
assistance in operating, maintaining and scheduling an indoor
ice rink. The CCHA was in the process of constructing the faci-
lity and were tentatively planning to open it on December 15th.
Sietsema said that due to the time factor involved, this item was
presented to the City Council without Commission reviewal. She
said that the City Council acted to accept the proposal with the
stipulation that the City would have full control once the
construction was finished.
Robinson objected to the fact that this item bypassed the Park
and Recreation Commission. He stated that the project was not
that urgent and should have been processed through the proper
channels.
Robbins said that he was part of the CCHA group and explained
that they were late in their planning and their request to the
City. He said that things moved more slowly than they had anti-
cipated. He said that it was important to get the Council appro-
val as soon as possible so that flooding could begin as soon as
the construction phase was completed. .
ADJOURNMENT: Rosenwald moved, seconded by Robbins to adjourn the
meeting. Motion unanimously approved.

SUBJ: Attendance Policy
Attached for your information is a memo from the City Manager
outlining the attendance policy for City commissions. Also
attached is the attendance record of Park and Recreation
Commissioners for meetings held in 1986.
.
It has been my feeling that in the past the Park and Recreation
Commission has been one of the more informal commissions.
However, it is important that if for any reason you are unable to
attend a meeting, you contact the Commission Chairperson. If you
are unable to make 75% of the meetings, the Chairperson is
required to ask for your resignation. In addition to contacting
the Chairperson, I would ask that you call me at 937-1900 so that
I know if we have a quorum for each meeting.

Attendance Policy - City Commissions and Committees
On July 19, 1982 the City Council acted to set an attendance
policy which is to be used by all City Commissions and
Committees. This policy should be incorporated into the bylaws
for commissions operating under existing bylaws or adopted as a
policy statement within our various committees.
r
The attendance policy should ask for the resignation of any mem-
ber who misses three consecutive meetings, without notifying the
Chairman as to the special circumstances requiring such absence;
or, if a member is found to be absent for more than 75% of the
meetings during any 12 month period of time. The chairman of the
commission/committee is to be responsible for notifying a member of
his/her failure to meet this policy with a copy of such notificaiton
being forwarded to the City Council.

Bluff Creek Greens Proposed Subdivision review
TO:
SUBJ:
The Bluff Creek Greens subdivision proposal involves the division
of 59.2 acres into 20 single family lots. The property is
located off of Creekwood Drive, just south of Bluff Creek Golf
Course.
.
On the Park Deficiency Area Map, the Comprehensive Plan shows
that this area is not currently being served by a neighborhood
park (see attachment A). However, the Land Use Plan does not
designate any of this area as potential park/open space (see
attachment B). In view of this, the close proximity of the golf
course, and the fact that the average lot size is 2.98 acres,
this office recommends that the City accept park dedication fees
in lieu of park land.
