MINUTES: The Commission reviewed the minutes of the December 3, 1985 meeting. McKay moved, seconded by Warneke to approve the minutes as presented. Motion unanimously approved. ELECTION OF OFFICERS: Warneke said that before officers were elected, he wanted to announce that he will be resigning from the Park and Recreation commission. He said that he has been involved with "Project 21" at the school and that it was his first priority. He said he has enjoyed working with the Commission, but feels he must cut back some of his obligations. He said he would send a letter to the Chairman to formally announce his resignation. Lynch said that he was sorry to see him go and wished him the best in his future endeavors. McKay moved to elect Lynch as the 1986 Chairman of the Park and Recreation Commission. The motion was seconded by Rosenwald and carried unanimously. . Rosenwald moved to elect McKay for the 1986 Vice-Chairman of the Park and Recreation Commission. The motion was seconded by Lynch and carried unanimously. PARK ORDINANCE REVIEW: Sietsema said that the Park Ordinance had not been reviewed by the Commission for a number of years and felt that it would be beneficial for the Commission to do so. The Commission reviewed the ordinance and found it to be sound. They did ask staff to find out if guide animals were considered pets in Section 23. They also questioned what the City's policy will be regarding ice houses being launched from public accesses. Sietsema stated that she would check on both issues and get back to the Commission at the next meeting. BLUFF CREEK GREEN: Sietsema presented the proposed plan for the Bluff Creek Green Subdivision. She said that the plan involved subdividing 59.2 acres into 20 single family lots. She said that because property borders the golf course, the average lot size is 2.9 acres. The COmprehensive Plan does not identify any por- tion of this area as potential park/open space and she recom- mends accepting park fees in lieu of park land. McKay said that he felt the Commission should have a philosophy and a policy when reviewing these proposals. He said that the Commission needed guidelines so that each proposal could be . . PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES JANUARY 7, 1986 PAGE 2 reviewed in a similar fashion. McKay requested that at each meeting a different park be reviewed so that the Commission could be aware of its history, location, past development, and plan for future development. Sietsema said that she felt the Comprehensive Plan may outline the City's park and recreation philosphy and that it may be beneficial to review it as well. McKay said that now would be the time to acquire park land in the Bluff Creek area - before it is in high demand for development. He said that this proposal may not have anything the City may want to acquire, but we should not totally dismiss the idea of park land in that area simply because of the larger lot sizes. Lynch said that because of the topography, park land in this sub- division would probably not be most desirable. Lynch moved to recommend that the City accept park dedication fees in lieu of park land from the Bluff Creek Green developers. Rosenwald seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. . Lynch requested that a review of the comprehensive Plan and the City parks be put on the agendas for future meetings. He also asked that the next agenda include an update on the goose control problem. Robinson moved to adjourn the meeting at 9:20 p.m. The motion, seconded by McKay, carried unanimously.

CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 MEMORANDUM TO: Park and Recreation Commission FROM: Bill Monk, City Engineer DATE: January 30, 1986 SUBJ: Lake Lucy Highlands On January 13 the City Council reviewed the Lake Lucy Highlands plat, including the Park and Recreation Commission recommendation to secure an easement along the ordinary high water mark of Lake Lucy. As noted in the attached materials, the developer was not in agreement with the condition based on its affect on three par- cels and he questioned the ultimate plans for extension of the trail given the physical restrictions and existing development around the lake. . Although the Council minutes are not completed for attachment, the Council reviewed this issue and sided with the developer's argument as long as a trail/bikeway system was incorporated into the Lake Lucy Road street section as a part of the improvement project report currently in progress. That report is near completion and does include a major bikeway/trail system as part of the street design between Powers and Galpin Blvds. Consideration of a final report draft for the Lake Lucy Road street improvements is anticipated within 30 days. As a final comment, the City Council directed a staff represen- tative to attend the next commission meeting to explain the details of the Council action. Also, that staff work towards submitting more complete reports to the Commissions so recommen- dations to the Council are based on a final staff analysis that does not need additional review and input. ~r,~L . . c /I..:/,,~.

MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 MEMORANDUM TO: Don Ashworth, City Manager FROM: Lori Sietsema, Park and Recreation Coordinator DATE: December 11, 1985 ~~~ SUBJ: Lake Lucy Highlands On December 2nd the City Council requested that the Park and Recreation Commission review the Lake Lucy Highlands Subdivision subject to review by the Park and Recreation Commission. . The Park and Recreation Commission met on December 3rd to discuss this item. Outlot A in the proposed subdivision is shown as possible park/open space and Mr. Steller has suggested that the City purchase this property. Although the Comprehensive Plan shows this area as a park deficient area, the Commission felt that Outlot A was not desirable park land as one-half or more of the property was wet. The Commission did, however, discuss the need for a trail easement that could be incorporated into a city- wide trail system. The Commission also discussed the proposed new Lake Lucy Road and felt that a walkway/bikeway should be included in that construc- tion plan for the new road. The Park and Recreation Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the City accept park dedication fees in lieu of park land and to request a trail easement along the normal Lake Lucy high water mark. In addition, the Commission recommended that the City obtain a trail easement along the proposed new Lake Lucy Road. I I I I I . II . .. ~ . . . . . . .

SUBJ: Lake Lucy Highlands Final Plat and Development Contract A copy of the final plat and development contract for Lake Lucy Highlands are attached for City Council consideration. There are several aspects of the documents that require addi- tional explanation prior to final approval. Those items are as follows: - Since the preliminary plat was approved, the City has been notified by MnDOT's State Aid office that a 25 foot "clear zone" is required for rural section streets from the edge of the bituminous surface to the right-of-way line. This requires a minimum width of 74 feet for right-of-way instead of the City's standard 60 feet. The developer has included this increased right-of-way on the final plat as submitted, however, it must be noted that several of the lots fall under the 2.5 acre requirement as shown in the follow area breakdown: . Lot 1, Block 1 2.56 Acres Lot 2, Block 1 2.50 Acres Lot 3, Block 1 . 2.50 Acres . Lot 4, Block 1 2.43 Acres Lot 5, Block 1 3.97 Acres Lot 6, Block 1 4.47 Acres Lot 7, Block 1 4.46 Acres Lot 8, Block 1 2.46 Acres Lot 9, Block 1 2.47 Acres Lot 10, Block 1 2.47 Acres Lot 11, Block 1 2.52 Acres Lot 12, Block- 1 6.32 Acres Lot 13, Block 1 7.82 Acres Lot 1, Block 2 2.45 Acres Lot 2, Block 2 2.50 Acres Lot 3, Block 2 4.34 Acres . . Mr. Don Ashworth January 6, 1986 Page 2 Lot 4, Block 2 Lot 5, Block 2 Lot 6, Block 2 6.22 Acres 10.07 Acres 3.063 Acres Outlot A 7.07 Acres Since the excessive right-of-way requirement is intended as an area free of any and all structures, this office views the resulting lot area variances required as negligible in impact and totally justified. For that reason, the developer has not been asked to adjust the interior lot lines. - The development contract contains no letter of credit pro- visions as this project is reliant upon use of municipal state aid funds and the developer's portion is minimal in terms of the overall project. This is somewhat unusual when compared to strictly private development projects, but is consistent with past policy. . - In past MSA projects the City has purchased right-of-way. However, in this instance, the developer wishes to proceed with platting the property and not be delayed by the State Aid acquisition process which could take upwards of six months to complete. For that reason, an alternate method of right-of-way compensation is included in Section 3.01 of the development contract. Basically, the developer plats the right-of-way and is credited its value through the assessment process. Again, this is somewhat unusual, however, it should work well for all parties involved. - Lastly, no section has yet been included in the contract concerning the Park and Recreation Commission recommen- dation for a trail easement (see attached minutes) across Lots 4, 5 and 6 of Block 2 and Outlot A, pending Council action. This trail easement would parallel the survey/ utility easement lines shown on the plat document and would be in addition to the trail/bikeway being engineered into the Lake Lucy Road design. The developer will be in atten- dance on Monday night to voice his disagreement with this portion of the Park Commission recommendation. Basically, Mr. Steller feels the affect of such a trail will have an adverse impact on the full use of the lots, especially Outlot A which will be literally bisected. Also, the ulti- mate e~tension of the trail around the lake is questioned given existing development at numerous locations around Lake Lucy. At this point, this office is recommending approval of the final plat and development contract for Lake Lucy Highlands as sub- mitted, given Council resolution of the trail issue. ~1r~L . ,-_I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I . ." II . II II II I I - II J J I I I I I I I I . Manaqer's Comment: This office generally supports pedestrian trailway recommendations. However, given the slopes, marshes, and existing development surrounding this lake, I do not believe that it is possible to achieve a feasible trail system adjacent to Lake Lucy. Incorporation of a trail/walkway system adjacent to the roadway (as proposed) will better serve the community. Approval of the contract as attached ~s recommended. _ ~ 2::;.--- . . . -; S ~\- :2 ,iMil-r"!lr-T~' \~-~")J~r-1~wrI63R~[j'\~\, -ug ",- . ~ j.~,d HL.lIEt1'~~O')LPH~ASAr'T LST 'h- 0 ON ,,,,-~ ~. -mrr- ~ ~~ '<.'~ CIRCLE I I !

I have forwarded this letter to you simply as a formality, as Mr. Warneke offered his resignation at the last meeting. . Since our last meeting, the City Council acted to accept Mr. Warneke's resignation. They have asked staff to write him a letter thanking him for his service and also to award him with a Certificate of Appreciation. We now have two vacancies and I have advertised them in the papers a number of times. To date, I have only received one application (attached) from Mary Johnson.

SUBJ: Questions on Park Ordinance The Park and Recreation Commission had two questions after reviewing the Park Ordinance at the last meeting. These questions were in regard to guide dogs and to the city's policy on ice fishing houses. . The Park Ordinance states that no pets are allowed in the city's parks. However, guide dogs are not considered pets as long as they are in harness. Minnesota state law (White Cane Law) states that guide dogs are to be allowed anywhere that people are, including restaurants, hospital rooms, parks, etc. The City has not developed a policy regarding fishing houses. The Park Ordinance states, "No such ice fishing house shall be permitted within any park or upon the ice of any park waters except upon written authorization of the City Clerk." The LAWCON/LCMR Grants Office encourages the winter use of the boat accesses. However, they said that if an environmental or utility problem arose, the city would have the authority to regulate the use. It is staff's feeling that public boat accesses should be left open for public use, as we promote recreation during all seasons. The Commission may want to amend the Park Ordinance to clarify this issue once the boat accesses on Lake Ann and Lotus Lake are open. . CITY OF CHAlfHASSElf 690 COULTER DRIVE. P.O. BOX 147 .

At that time the Commission identified a number of facilities that would be most desirable including softball diamonds, regulation size soccer field, tennis courts, ice skating rink, trails, sliding hill and parking area. Mark Koegler will be at the Commission meeting to present the attached Master Park Plan. Although our layout options are limited due to the topography of the site, Mark will discuss variations to this plan. . 5 . . . CITY OF CHAHHASSEH b 690 COULTER DRIVE. P.O. BOX 147 .

Six people have applied: . Mary Johnson Mike Schachterle Susan Boyt Kathy Friedlander Richard Comer Jim Mady Since only two of the six may be chosen, it is important to consider what areas of interest should be represented on the Commission. Some may be: community Education (both districts), CAA, Jaycee's, business community and schools. In addition, it should be kept in mind that the Park and Recreation Commission must serve the entire community of Chanhassen, therefore Commissioners should be interested not only in the area that they live, but in the City as a whole. staff Update (3-12-86): The park and Recreation Commission interviewed five of the six applicants, as one of them withdrew her application. The Commission was impressed with all appli- cants and were sorry to have to turn any away. However due to their enthusiasm and community spirit, the cammission has recommended that Susan Boyt and Jim Mady be appointed to the Park and Recreation Commission. 1~ . .

March 3, 1986 Chanhassen Park & Recreation Dear Board Members: It has come to our attention that due to an opening on your board, Sue Boyt is a candidate for consideration. How fortunate we all are to have such a~ enthusiastic and well qualified fellow neighbor so highly interested in the future of our community desiring this position. . Although Sue and family are new members of Chanhassen, one year to be exact, she has already taken the position of secretary for the Chanhassen Athletic Association with the utmost enthusiasm. She also volunteers numerous hours to the elementary school. Her daughter Sarah is in kindergarten and son Tucker in first grade. She is also involved on the social planning committee for Sunrise Hills. She was also one of the instigators for Future Women of America in Chanhassen. This is a newly developed non-profit group supporting needy children, the elderly or whatever and whenever there's a need for a support group in Chanhassen. Seldom do we meet someone with such zest carrying such a positive attitude toward future goals concerning all of us. Sue would be a major asset on your board. Beware of her enthusiasm ... it's highly contageous. Respectfully, Steve & Marilyn Holter 7201 Frontier Trail Chanhassen ~ . . ({/ I support Sue Boyt in her desire to serve IS I .ember of the Park Ind Ree.eltion Commission. Further, I request that the Commission members endorse her appointment to the commission in their recommendation to the City Council.

DATE: SUBJ: MRPA Request to Adopt a Resolution Supporting Grant Programs . The Minnesota Recreation and Park Association has requested that cities adopt a resolution supporting park and recreation grant programs and commissions (see attachment). This resolution will show the City's support for these grant programs and legislative commissions that are committed to providing recreational activi- ties and facilities at all levels. The City of Chanhassen has been the recipient of a number of LAWCON (federal) and LCMR (state) grants, thus enabling us to acquire and develop much of our park land. Therefore, staff recommends that the City adopt this resolution supporting recreation grant programs and the commissions that help determine park and recreation needs in the United States. Staff Update (March 11, 1986): The Park and Recreation COmmission agreed with staff that the City should support the President's Commission on Americans Outdoors, the commission on Minnesotans Outdoors and park and recreation grant programs. The COmmission recommended that the City demonstrate this support by adopting a resolution as outlined by the Minnesota Recreation and Park Association._~ . .

On January 28, 1985, President Reagan established the President's Commission on Americans OUtdoors (PCAO) for the purpose of stUdying the quantity and quality of recreation opportunities in the nation and to determine how the nation will deal with recreation issues in the year 2000. The Commission on Minnesotans OUtdoors (COMO) was established by Lt. Governor Marlene Johnson to provide information to PCAO by answering the questions: 1) In 2000, what will Minnesotans want to do outdoors? and 2) How can we be sure they have the appropriate places to do it? The MRPA Legislative Committee applauds the efforts of these two commissions because they help focus attention on important recreation issues and because they are inviting everyone with an interest in recreation to testify or submit written testimony. Private individuals, local governments, and a variety of interest groups have been given the best opportunity to affect federal and state recreation policy in over 20 years I As a recent recipient of local LAWCON/LCMR grant dollars, you probably recognize the value of federal and state recreation facility financial assistance. If this is the case, it is important that you notify COMO of your opinions. There are two ways to do this. The first is to testify at one of the remaining three COMO public hearings. These hearings are: Date Location '1'i.e 4-02-86 Moorhead City Hall,500CenterAvenue Moorhead, Minnesota 56560 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. 4-16-86 Earle Brown Center, University 1890 Buford Avenue, St. Paul Minnesota Recreation and Park Association.

The purpose of the resolution is two-fold: 1) to promote the concept of COMO and PCAO, emphasizing the role local governments must play by providing testimony for the Commissions; and (2) to demonstrate wide-based support for local and regional recreation grant programs. This sample resolution could be used as a base for presentation to your local unit of government for their passage. The executed resolution should be forwarded to COMO, as well as your state legislators and congressmen. Please feel free to customize the resolution to more accurately address local attitudes. The Congress and state legislature are monitoring the PCAO and COMO proceedings. Because a lack of participation on the part of local governments will likely be viewed as a lack of interest, it is very important that local communities become involved. The development of these commissions offers a unique opportunity. Please plan to get involved by either testifying at one of the remaining COMO hearings and/or forwarding your local government resolution to your legislators, congressmen, and COMO, at your earliest convenience. .

COMMISSION ON MINNESOTANS OUTDOORS Box 51 500 Lafayette Rd. SI. Paul, MN 55146 PRESS RELEASE/FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 7, 1986 FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT: Kate Hanson, 612/297-3355 Recreation Commission Draws Widespread Interest Hearings of the Commission on Minnesotans Outdoors are drawing participation from a broad cross-section of state recreation professionals, resource managers and the public. Sixty individuals testified on state and national recreation needs at hearings in Duluth and Mankato. Written testimony has been received from more than 40 individuals and organizations. Response from the Twin Cities area has been so great that an additional hearing was scheduled to accommodate requests to testify. . The eight-member commission, chaired by Lt. Governor Marlene Johnson, is conducting a major reassessment of recreation needs. Commission findings, with recommendations on action to meet future recreation needs, will be reported to state and national recreation policy-makers and funding bodies. A similar assessment is being conducted by recreation commissions in numerous other states and at the national level, through a Presidential Commission on Americans Outdoors. A study of this scope has not been undertaken since the early 1960s, when a commission headed by Lawrence Rockefeller evaluated the nation's recreation needs. Recommendations of the Rockefeller Commission, and companion commissions working at the state level, shaped policy that has guided recreation management for the last 20 years. "Many things have changed since the early 1960s," says Johnson. "We hope that those testifying will give special attention to social changes and other factors that will affect outdoor recreation needs between now and the year 2000." \:,"::":"....., ,::;:;:; I'MR 1 '7 1986 -more- ('ITV Of CHAI~nA~~c.i~ Members: Beverly Anderson Lieutenant Governor Marlene Johnson, Chair Robert Dunn Mary Kenny William Kirchner Alan Page Wayne Olson Rod Searle .

( THE ClIIlISSION ON MINNESOTANS OUTDOORS Why Was the CClllllission Fol"IIIed? The COIIIIission on Minnesotans Outdoors was fOl'1lll!d to reassess the status of outdoor recreation in the state and the nation. This effort is being carried out in conjunction with that of a national Connission on Ailericans Outdoors, fOl"lled by President Reagan. Counterparts to the Minnesota COIIIIission have been establfshed in llany other states. How is the COIIIIission Gathering Information? Five public hearings are being hel d throughout Minnesota to solicit pUblic testimony on _rging recreation issues and future recreation needs. In February,the COIIIIlission heard testimony in Duluth and Hankato. .Additional tlearings will be held in MoOrtl8lll-.(April 8), St. Paul (April 16) and B100lllington (April 23). Who Should Testify at COIIIlIission Hearings? The CllIIIIission is seek ing testillOny from all Minnesotans with an interest in outdoor recreation--lIll!n and women, persons of all ages and ethnic backgrounds. Those testifying include: .. Citizens -'to use the state's parks, campgrounds, trails, lakes, streams and other recreation resources · Groups with diverse outdoors interests, such as hunting and fishing cl ubs, environmental organizations, recreational vehicl e cl ubs, and organizations serving youth, senior citizens, WOllen, Ilinorities, and the disabl ed .. Persons invol ved in recreation ...nagement, tourism and economic development, recreation research What Kind of Testimony is the COIIIIIission Seeking? The tOlllllission is seeking testillOny on: · Recreation needs between now and the year 2000: How are supply of and demand for recreation opportunities being influenced by social and economic factors such as changes in family structure, increased leisure tillll!, activity preferences and funding restrictions? .. Actions that can be taken to ensure future needs will be Ilet. . ( What Will be Done with the COIIIllission's Findings? On the basis of hearing testillOny, the COIIIIlission will Nke rec_ndations on how we can ensure future outdoor recreation needs are met. The COIIIIission's findings will be directed to state policy-...king and funding bodies (such as the Minnesota Legislature and the Legislative COIIIIission on Minnesota Resources) and to the President's COIII1ission on Ailericans Outdoors. How Sionificant is the ReassesSllent? Rec_ndations of the C_ission on Minnesotans Outdoors and the COIIIIission on Ailericans Outdoors could have a significant effect on future recreaticn developlllent, unagement a"d fun(lfn". The'last assessllll!nt of this scope, conducted in the early 1961)s, laid groundwork for establfs'-ent of the National Wilderness Preservation System, Wild and Scenic Rivers System, Land and Water Conservation Fund and Bureau of Outdoor Recreation. In Minnesota, it led to the Outdoor Recreation Act, a lllatching grant program for local parks, and Resource 2000 (a lllajor state bonding program for recreation area acquisition and developllll!nt). How Can You Partie ipate? Share your ideas and concerns regarding outdoor recreation at one of the COIl1:Iission's public hearings. To arrange to testify, just phone 612/296-6157. . . . . Commission on Minnesotans Outdoors Outdoor Recreation Fact Sheet State and federal government have invested $400 million in outdoor recreation acquisition and development in Minnesota since 1965. * $54 million from Land and Water Conservation Fund * $120 million from LCMR ($60 million to state projects, $60 million to local projects) * $100 million from Resource 2000 * $50 million from Dingell-Johnson/Pitman-Roberts * $100 million from state bonding for metro parks and open space Urban/Rural Needs: A recent public opinion poll, conducted as part of the statewide recreation planning process, found little distinction in the number and kinds of requests for more recreation facilities from metropolitan and outstate areas. Funding: Public-Private Cooperation: * Recreation facility development in Minnesota is based on public-private partnership. * Nearly 2/3 of campsites in Minnesota are privately owned. * 40 percent of water access sites are provided through the private sector (i.e. through resorts). * The state is the primary supplier of wildlife areas and land acreage. Economic Impacts of Outdoor Recreation/Tourism: * Outdoor recreationists in Minnesota spend over $2 billion on outdoor recreation each year. Approximately 1/2 of this amount can be associated with fishing and hunting. * Statewide, outdoor recreation accounts for 16 percent of all tourism dollars spent in Minnesota. In some regions, it accounts for a larger share; for example, 2/3 of all tourism income in the Arrowhead region is associated with outdoor recreation. . Demand: ~he most recent Harris Poll found that the average adult U.S. citizen had 18.5 hours of leisure time per week. * In Minnesota, 10 percent of adults' leisure time is spent in outdoor recreation (about 100 hours/year). * 3/4 of outdoor recreation use occurs in summer. * 70 percent of outdoor recreation in Minnesota occurs within 30 miles of home. * The lakes regions are the principal destination of Minnesotans and out-of-state residents who travel away from home for the purpose of outdoor recreation. * One forecast shows that between 1980 and the year 2000, total time spent by Minnesotans in outdoor recreation will increase 10 percent. In the lakes regions, this increase will be even greater. * As our population ages, the amount of time individuals spend in outdoor recreation decreases, and outdoor recreation becomes less a daily actiVity and more a vacation actiVity. EXCERPT OF PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH 4, 1986 MRPA REQUEST TO ADOPT RESOLUTION SUPPORTING GRANT PROGRAMS: After reading the staff report, Lynch asked if staff had anything to add. Sietsema said that it is the Commission on Minnesotans Outdoors and the President's Commission on Amnericans Outdoors that will be setting park and recreation priorities in this country. She said that these are issues that will affect parks and recreation even at local levels. Sietsema said that the City has received a number of park acquisition and development grants in the past and that support should be given to insure that these grants continue to be available to communities in the future. Robbins moved to recommend the adoption of a resolution sup- porting the President's Commission on Americans Outdoors, the Commission on Minnesotans Outdoors, and the revitalization of Minnesota's local and regional grant programs as outlined by MRPA.

CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 MEMORANDUM TO: Park and Recreation Commission FROM: Lori Sietsema, Park and Recreation Coordinator DATE: January 31, 1986 SUBJ: MRPA Request to Adopt a Resolution Supporting Grant Programs . The Minnesota Recreation and Park Association has requested that cities adopt a resolution supporting park and recreation grant programs and commissions (see attachment). This resolution will show the City's support for these grant programs and legislative commissions that are committed to providing recreational activi- ties and facilities at all levels. The City of Chanhassen has been the recipient of a number of LAWCON (federal) and LCMR (state) grants, thus enabling us to acquire and develop much of our park land. Therefore, staff recommends that the City adopt this resolution supporting recreation grant programs and the commissions that help determine park and recreation needs in the United States. . . COMMISSION ON MINNESOTANS OUTDOORS Box 51 500 Lafayette Rd. 51. Paul, MN 55146 January 1986 Dear Friend: In November 1985, the State of Minnesota appointed a Commission on Minnesotans Outdoors. This Commission, formed by Governor Rudy Perpich to assist the Presidential Commission on Americans Outdoors, will review the state of Minnesota's and the nation's recreation resources. It will make recommendations to ensure that Minnesotans and Americans will have the recreation resources needed in the year 2000. The issues at hand are i~ortant for the future of Minnesota. How we deal with our needs will influence our quality of life as well as our recreation economy. As chair of Minnesota's Commission, I am seeking advice from you and other highly qualified citizen! and organizations about the status of outdoor recreation today and about our needs for the future. I urge you to share your ideas and comments relative to two major questions: 1l What will Minnesotans want to do outdoors in the year 2000? 2l How can we be sure there will be adequate opportunities to do these things? We will hold four hearings around the state to solicit testimony from Minnesotans of all age groups and ethnic backgrounds representing different outdoor interests. Hearings will be held between 4 and 7 p.m. in the following communities: Duluth, February 4; Mankato, February 11; Moorhead, April 2; Minneapolis/St. Paul, April 9, 1985. If possible, please provide a written copy of your remarks for the record. But most importantly, plan to join us to share your ideas in person. In organizing your thoughts, please give particular attention to the following issues: *Should the federal government be contributing to outdoor recreation programs and facilities in Minnesota? Why? *How can we do a better Job of acquiring and developing state and local lands for recreation purposes in our state? *How can state and local government improve the operation and maintenance of outdoor recreation facilities? . *Are there needs and opportunities for new recreation programs, and are there existing recreation programs that are no longer necessary? Enclosed is a stamped, self-addressed postcard. Please complete and return the card, indicating which hearing you will be able to attend. We are making arrangelents for a hearing site in each city, and pro~t return of this card will allow us to plan carefully. Detailed information on meeting sites and agendas will be forthcoming. We hope you will Join in this cooperative effort to help shape the future of recreation in Minnesota and in our nation. I look forward to meeting you and hearing your ideas. ~~ Marlene Johnson lieutenant Governor, State of Minnesota r- .-:=:-:;::;:l I L tv I' 81986 ...... . HASSE" Lieutenant Governor Marlene Johnson.

As a background, the President's Commission on American Outdoors (PCAO) was established on January 28, 1985 for the purpose of studying the qua~tity and quality of recreation opportunities in the nation, and to determine how the nation will deal with recreation issues through the year 2000. The Commission on Min~esota Re~ources (COMR) was established by Lt. Governor Marlene Johnson November 20, 1985. It will provide information to PCAO by answering: 1) In 2000, what will Minnesotans want to do outdoors? and 2) How can we be sure they have the appropriate places to do it? The purpose of the resolution is two-fold: to demonstrate wide-based support for local and regional recreation grant programs; and to promote the concept of the two commissions, emphasizing the role the re=reation co~~unity must play by testifying at the commission hearings. This sample resolution should be used as a base, presented to your local units of government for their passage, and forwarded to your MN state and federal legislators. Feel free to add points to the resolution that will lend a more "local" emphasis. Be sure to pass the resolution on to other organizations or professionals asking for their support. The more support shown for these grant programs and the commissions at the legislature, the better chance for the recreation community to input into state and federal policy-making. The development of the commissions offers the recreation community a unique opportunity---after passing this resolution at your local level, be sure to follow through with forwarding the information to legislators, and to COMR.

THE MINNESOTA RECREATION AND PARK ASSOCIATION 1986 LEGISLATIVE PLATFOID~ The Minnesota Recreation and Park Association (MRPA) is a non-profit organization committed to the philosophy that excellent parks, recreation and leisure services enhance the quality of life for all citizens. The Minnesota Recreation and Park Association is deeply concerned about the status of recreational and leisure activities in the 1980's and beyond. Foremost among these concerns is that quality recreational opportunities are available to ALL people, and that park facilities be maintained at a high quality level. More specifically, the Minnesota Recreation and Park Association either endorses, or urges the most serious consideration of the following issues: National Issues The Minnesota Recreation and Park Association will look to the National Recreation and Park Association to review and promulgate national legislation and to advise of the affect the legislation will have on Minnesota in matters dealing with parks, recreation and leisure services. The Minnesota Recreation and Park Association will provide support to pertinent legislation having a benefit to its members and the citizens. of Minnesota and many promulgate legislation on state and national issues. Therapeutic Recreation Issues MRPA will monitor proposed budgetary cutbacks and proposed regulation changes at the state and national level that will affect the provision of recreation services to special populations. MRPA will monitor regulation changes and budgeting cutbacks in program areas that indirectly affect therapeutic recreation program and services, such as e~igibility requrements for financial assistance, quality of life issues, status of vocational rehabilitation programs, P.L. 94-142. MRPA will support state legislation which minimizes financial cutbacks to special populations and which will promote quality of life for special populations. MRPA will monitor the progress and effects of the federal legislation known as the Community and Family Living Ammendments Act of 1985. LCMR Outdoor Recreation Grants The Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCMR) grant program is currently the only state program that is designed to provide assistance to all local governments for the acquisition and development of a wide variety of outdoor recreation facilities. . . . , Public Employment Labor Relations Act: Temporary or Seasonal Employees . The 1983 Legislature amended the Public Employment Labor Relations Act so that a temporary or seasonal public employee who is employed for more than 67 days during a calendar year will be subject to exclusive union represen- tation. As a result of the amendment, public employers could be required to negotiate the terms and conditions of employment for those seasonal employees working more than 67 days in a calendar year. Previous legisla- tion allowed a temporary or seasonal employee to work for 100 days before being subject to exclusive union representation. Minnesota Recreation and Park Association has many concerns relative to the impact of this change. Layoffs of temporary or seasonal employees may be made prematurely, to the detriment of both employer and employee. Secondly, the types of compensation and benefits which unions may seek for temporary or seasonal employees could be detrimental to public employers' budgets, resulting in the employment of less people. Finally, the exclusion for students under age 22 may result in temporary or seasonal public jobs only being offered to those in this category, excluding nonstudents or students above age 22. The Legislature should amend the Public Employee Labor Relations Act so that temporary or seasonal employees under PELRA could work for 120 (not 67) days before being subject to exclusive union representation. ACTION: MRPA will inform legislators on the effects of PELRA on local park and recreation programs and will work with other associations and groups on recommendations for change. Unemployment Compensation In 1976, unemployment compensation laws were substantially improved by the elimination of eligibility for those individuals who voluntarily quit or are dismissed for cause. However requalification is provided once the claimant has earned four times the weekly benefit for which he would other- wise be eligible. This requalification is too low and should be increased. The Minnesota Recreation and Park Association believes that individuals who knowingly accept temporary employment of specific limited durations or provisional employment not exceeding six months and whose employment is thus ended, should be disqualified for certain benefits. The employers involved should not be saddled with unemployment compensation costs for individuals who accept, and perhaps even plan for .the termination of such employment. The MRPA recommends that the law be ammended. Action: "MRPA will inform legislators about the effects of the current unemployment compensation on park and recreation programs, and will support associations/groups working to ammend the law as state above. MRPA PLATFORM Cross-Country Ski License/Trail Funding In 1983, the Legislature passed Chapter 325, which requires cross-country skiers to buy a license when skiing on any non-federal public trail developed, maintained or promoted with state grant-in-aid monies. After two seasons, problems inherent in the implementation of this program have combined to weaken support among recreation and park professionals. Lack of monetary incentive to justify administration, promotion and enforcement of the license has led to only marginal compliance. The Minnesota Recreation and Park Associaiton acknowledges the need for additional funding for the acquisition, development and maintenance of cross-country ski trails and supports the concept of a user fee as a . .

CITY OF CHANHASSEN q 690 COULTER DRIVE. P.O. BOX 147 . CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 MEMORANDUM DATE: February 27, 1986 TO: Park and Recreation Commission FROM: Lori Sietsema, Park and Recreation Coordinator RE: Chanhassen Hills Sketch Plan Review The Park and Recreation Commission will be reviewing a sketch plan for Chanhassen Hills, formerly called Lake Susan South. The sketch plan for this property was reviewed in October however, due to the realignment of Highway 212, it has changed considerably. At the time of reviewal, the Commission made a number of recom- mendations regarding park/open space (see attached minutes). This new plan has not addressed any of those recommendations. The Commission will need to review the new plan and submit a recommendation. . The plan includes park/open space on the northern and western boundaries of the property. This is unbuildable land as it is quite hilly and is wet in the low lying areas. The Comprehensive plan identifies this as a park deficient area having no active use park land serving it. It was originally concluded that a large neighborhood park (20 acres), which would also serve the developments to the east and west, would be needed. However, due to the separation of these developments by the road systems, Highways 212 and 101 and County Road 17, these areas may be better served by smaller parks within each development. A trail system within this development As shown in the Comprehensive plan, an side of Lake Susan should be obtained. through the development leading to the three roadways should be considered. is also very important. easement along the south Also, trails going lake corridor and to the It is this offices recommendation that the Park and Recreation Commission identify a five to ten acre parcel within the Chanhassen Hills development that would be conducive for active use. In addition, the Commission should identify trail easements throughout the development that would connect this neighborhood to the roads and the Lake Susan .trail corridor. . . ".J,Q.:;)I".c....

The motion passed unanimously. \~ LAKE SUSAN SOUTH, SKETCH PLAN REVIEW: Sietsema presented the ~ sketch plan for the development of Lake Susan South (located just south of Lake Susan) to the east of County Road 17. She said the developer was preparing a plan to be taken to the Planning commission that identified the land adjacent to the lake as potential park/open space. Sitesema said that she had walked this area and found it to be extremely hilly and wet in the low lying areas. The Lake Susan South area is a park deficient area, Sietsema stated. Although the tract along the lake is identified as park/open space in the comprehensive Plan, the City may not want the entire portion the developer is offering, due to the limited use potential. Sietsema recommended that the City request a trail easement along the lake as shown in the Comprehensive Plan, and to request a parcel of land be dedicated that would be more conducive for active use. l Sietsema also pointed out that one of the City's priorities is to develop its bike and trail system, therefore we should request easements for sidewalks or trails throughout this development. Schoenecker questioned the need for sidewalks throughout the development and asked if we could have a main trail system that would connect the major streets in the development to the existing streets. . Rosenwald said that a trail through the development would be desirable, but not on the street side of the houses. Warneke suggested a trail easement circling the development instead of going through it. Schoenecker said he was not sure if the Park and Recreation Commission wanted to start a policy requiring developers to put in sidewalks. Warneke added that we do not want to scare develop- ers away with too many requirements. Schoenecker moved to recommend that the City request a trail easement along Lake Susan, as shown in the Comprehensive Plan. He also moved to recommend that a trail easement through the development be requested which would link up to any future trail system and to major highways. In addition, he recommended that the City request that at least 20 acres of park land be dedicated that would be accessible to major streets and accessible to the Lake Susan trail corridor, thus crediting park dedication fees. The motion was seconded by Rosenwald and carried unanimously. . WINTER BROCHURE: Sietsema asked the commission what they would like to see in the Park and Recreation Winter Brochure. Items discussed included: figure skating, 3-man basketball, cross country ski lessons, moonlight cross-country ski event, ice fishing contest, snow softball tournament, fishing fly tying lessons, square dance lessons, bridge tournament, duplicate bridge club. . LAKE ANN BLEACHERS: Sietsema said that the 1985 Capital Improvement Budget included terraced bleachers on Field #2 at Lake Ann Park. She said that the Commission may want to review this project as there will be lights going in on Field #1 and that field should have bleachers too. She said that it would be l...__ _C L'___t..___ __ ___t.. c.:....,~ l D_I^ \..~ . ~ ...J CD II) a: LIJ :l ~ ~ Lc;:Uila..l GF' Pe.c.r~ ~W ~ , ov-.tf\tJ t" t.:7e-'IQ.

We understand that there is a ~ parking fee per car for the usage of the lake. We are going to be married on June !4thJ1986 at the park located on Lake Anne and we are wondering ~f there is any possible way we can have that parking fee waved for our guests and the wedding party for that day? The ceremony itself will be at 2:00 PM and afterwards immediately following the ceremony we will have a small dinner reception that will last at the latest around 4:00 or 4:30 PM. . We are hoping that the parking fee can be put aside for that few hours so we don't have to 44ve our guests paying to accompany us on our day of happiness.
