A regular meeting of the Park and Recreation Commission was called to order by the Commssion Chairman, Mike Lynch. Com- missioners attending the meeting were Mike Lynch, Wallace McKay, Charlie Robbins, Susan Boyt, James Mady, Curt Robbinson, and Mike Rosenwald. Staff present were Lori Sietsema and Don Ashworth. Residents present were: Greg Datillo, 7201 Juniper Avenue, Chanhassen, MN 474-0065 Ed Hasek, 6570 Kirkwood Circle, Chanhassen, MN Tom Heiberg, 3725 South Cedar, Chanhassen, MN 474-2466 Wayne Fransdal, 6200 Murray Hill Road, Chanhassen, MN 474-4857 Mike Liddicoat, Carver County Park Director, Chaska 448-3435 Sherri Mickelson, Chaparral Robbins moved to approve the Park and Recreation Commission min- utes of May 6, 1986. The motion was seconded by Rosenwald and carried unanimously. Red Cedar Point Homeowners Request for Trail Along Minnewashta Parkway Sietsema began by saying that the Red Cedar Point Homeowners were requesting the City to look into the feasibility of constructing . a pedestrian trail along Minnewashta Parkway. The residents in that area feel that there is a growing number of people who are jogging and biking along the road which is not always safe due to the narrow width, curves and hills. These residents have signed a petition stating this request. Greg Datillo stated that in 1982 a boy was nearly killed on this road. He said that the 124 signatures on the petition clearly shows that the people in the area want such a trail. He said that at this point they were only asking that a feasibility study be done that would outline the costs of such a project. Ed Hasek said that the population in Chanhassen is on the rise and is generally people with young families. These people are the Baby Boomers who like to jog and bike and Minnewashta Parkway is not a good linkage road. The road is deteriorating, has no curbs and has lanes only 12 feet wide. He said that the road will need upgrading soon and the trail should be done at the same time. He said that the third issue is that there is little park space on the west side of Lake Minnewashta and the residents are in favor of this being their neighborhood park. Tom Heiberg said that he agreed that the population in the area is growing. He reiterated that the road was deteriorating and that the time was right to look at a feasibility study. He said that many joggers wear the headsets with music playing and are . not always aware of their surroundings which creates a dangerous situation. . Park and Recreation Commission Minutes June 3, 1986 Page 2 Boyt said that she was in favor of sidewalks and off-street trails, rather than adding extra width to the roads, although she has been told that costs are prohibitive. Lynch asked who maintained this road. Staff said the City. DattilIo asked if different plans could be developed that could be taken to the residents. McKay said that there should be an overall trail plan for the City. He suggested that such a plan be developed that would discuss the different kinds of trails i.e. off-street, on-street, wood chip, bituminous, etc. This type of plan would provide cri- teria to identify trails and to prioritize. . Hasek said that he sat on the park board in Mound and when a street project went in, trails were also constructed. He said that they were here to prevent an accident. He said that they would like a timetable of how this item would proceed as they have been asked to report to the residents. Sietsema said that she would send them a copy of the minutes and let them know when this item would be reviewed again. McKay moved to authorize staff to prepare a proposal for comple- tion of a feasibility study for a comprehensive trailway system in Chanhassen. The motion was seconded by Boyt. All voted in favor and the motion carried. Lynch said that he would like to see what the consultant suggestions of what the plan should include. Chaparral Homeowners Proposal to Purchase Additional Totlot Equipment for Meadow Green Park . Sherri Mickelson was present to discuss a proposal to purchase totlot equipment for Meadow Green Park. She said she had reported the Commission's decision regarding Meadow Green Park totlot equipment to the Homeowners Association. The Association felt the need for additional equipment was immediate and has pro- posed to purchase up to $500 worth of equipment and are requesting that the City install and maintain it. Sietsema said that the equipment purchase should be reviewed by staff and the consultant to be sure that it will be consistent with our future plans. Mickelson said that staff could order whatever fit with the plan and bill the Association. Robinson moved to accept the purchase of up to $500 in totlot equipment from the Chaparral Homeowners Association and to authorize staff to install and maintain it. In addition, he moved that staff should work with the vendor to get equipment Park and Recreation Commission Minutes June 3, 1986 . Page 3 that will be consistent with what we have. McKay seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. Minnewashta Regional Park Request to Allow "Group Reserved Camping" Mike Liddicoat, Park Director for Carver County, attended the Park and Recreation Commission meeting to discuss the request to consider a variation of the Master Park Plan to allow "group reserved camping" in non-designated areas. Liddicoat began by saying that the County Park Commission is asking the City of Chanhassen for advice. He said that the Minn- ewashta Regional Park Master Plan was put together by the City, the County and the Metropolitan Council in 1982 and that the plan designated an area within the park for "group reserved camping". This type of activity involves an organized group, such as the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, or church groups, requesting a permit allowing them to camp in the park. The master plan spells out what group camping is and identifies an area for such. Liddicoat said that although the master plan allows for group camping, the designated area is not ready for such use. He said that he felt the City may want to be part of this decision as to . whether or not to allow this activity at this time. Lynch said that he did not feel this was a decision to be made by the City, but by the County, as they would have to handle it. Ashworth pointed out that it is a conditional use permit and the City Council did review the Master Plan before it was adopted. He said the Council would be looking for a statement from this group as to whether this should be allowed to take place. Lynch said that it was his opinion that this request be denied until the area designated for group camping is ready. Boyt asked what would have to be done to prepare this area. Lid- dicoat said that it would have to be forested. Robbins asked what the disadvantage would be to allow this request at this time. Liddicoat said that basically the disad- vantage is that the area is not ready and another area would have to be used, and extra satellites would be rented for that area. Mady asked if approving this request would set a precedent for any future requests, even if the County did not want to allow a certain group in. Liddicoat said that he could not think of an undesirable group. McKay asked what the County wanted to do. Liddicoat said that they were unsure. Their first thought was to approve the request . but then thought they should get Chanhassen's input. He said the County Commission is in support of the request, but wanted to know the City's opinion. . . . Park and Recreation Commission Minutes June 3, 1986 Page 4 Boyt suggested having the group pay for the extra satellites. Lynch suggested they have the group (a Boy Scout group) work on the undeveloped area, as these campers are supposed to be a working group. McKay summarized by saying that the concept of group camping has been approved in the master plan but the area identified for this type of activity is not yet ready and the park director does not have a problem with finding an alternative location for group camping. He stated that allowing this group to camp in an alternate location sets a precedent and it will have to be allowed in the future. He said that he felt this was not the City's jurisdiction, but the County's. Liddicoat said that the County makes the final decision but were seeking advice form the City. Rosenwald said that if it would be 10-15 years before the designated area was ready, he would be in favor of finding a tem- porary location. Robbins moved to endorse the "Order of the Arrow" Camporee at Minnewashta Regional Park on September 7th, 8th, and 9th and advise the County to explain to the scouts what the basic rules of the camps site are. McKay seconded the motion. Robinson said that there had been two points made in Mr. Liddicoat's letter; if we approve this request, should this type of activity be encouraged or does the City only approve of this specific Boy Scout Camporee request?; and if the City approves of and encourages this type of camping, does the City want to review each request? Lynch said that he did not feel this Commission should be recommending something that we have no jurisdiction over. Robbins said that this was not a recommendation but an endorsement. Ashworth said that the action that the Commission will be taking is a recommendation to the City Council. We do have a con- ditional use permit with them in the master plan and the master plan designates areas for specific use. What you will be doing is to modify the master plan to show an alternate area for "group reserved camping" for a specific amount of time. Robbins amended the motion to read as follows: the Commssion recommends the approval of modifying the Minnewashta Regional Park Master Plan to allow "group reserved camping" in non- designated areas on an interim basis at the discretion of the County Park Commission. The motion carried unanimously. The Park and Recreation Commission had questions regarding where park monies were receipted and how accounting was carried out for expenditures. Don Ashworth was present to review both the 1985 Audit Report as well as 1986 Budget. The 1986 Budget review included current operating expenses, i.e. park maintenance, park Park and Recreation Commission Minutes June 3, 1986 Page 5 . and recreation administration, and self-sustaining programs. Also reviewed was the detailed budget which includes the capital improvement funds of the City, i.e. South Lotus Lake Boat Access, Lake Ann Boat Access, Park Acquisition and Development Fund, etc. The Park and Recreation Commission thanked Mr. Ashworth for being present. Chanhassen Vista Site Plan Review Don Ashworth, City Manager gave a brief history of the Chanhassen Vista development proposal. He said that at the last meeting the Park and Recreation Commission had authorized staff to proceed with an appraisal of the value of the sloped area to determine whether it was feasible to purchase the property. Ashworth explained that staff will do that, however he wanted to explain the impact of what the taking of those slopes will have on the developer. Ashworth said that the state statutes allow the City to request a reasonable portion of a development to be dedicated for park/open space purposes. The problem is determining what is reasonable. . To the developer, the taking of the sloped area in this case pre- sents a hardship as it eliminates a number of his lots. The courts may deem this to be unreasonable and request that the City compensate the developer for the lots lost. Ashworth explained that establishing a conservation easement along the slopes may achieve the same purpose as acquisition. He suggested that the Commission consider and easement. Rosenwald asked what the easement would entail if the City should decide to go that way. Ashworth said that it would restrict the use of the slopes to a degree set by the City. Restrictions could include structures, dumping, application of chemicals, etc. Mady said that he would be interested in seeing how much the property was worth to see if the City could afford it, before going for the easement. The Commission generally agreed to let their last recommendation stand until a fair market value was determined. Chanhassen Hills Site Plan Review Sietsema said that the Commission reviewed this proposal at the sketch plan stage of the application process. At that time the Commission recommended that the City accept the dedication of a 5 acre parcel for active park purposes and the open space along the north and west sides of the development. The Commission also . recommended that a trail easement be obtained along the lake and off the center cul-de-sac on the west side, and that the street easement be widened for pedestrian purposes on the street shown . . . Park and Recreation Commission Minutes June 3, 1986 Page 6 as Lake Susan Drive in the current plan. The recommendation included that the City negotiate with the developer a fair reduc- tion in park dedication fees for this land donation. The City Council reviewed the Commission's recommendation and felt that 5 acres of active park land was insufficient for this size development. They asked the developer to increase the size of that parcel to at least 7 acres in the final plan. The Council accepted all other recommendations made by the Commission. The final plan includes a 7.8 acre parcel for the active park area. This area includes a ponding area, which leaves enough space for a regulation size ballfield, two tennis courts, a small parking area, and a tot lot area. Sietsema said that these faci- lities are sufficient for neighborhood park purposes as this will not be used for organized leagues. Rosenwald moved to recommend that the City accept the following for park/open space purposes: - the 7.8 acre parcel along the proposed Highway 212 alignment - the wetland area along the west side of the development - an easement off of the cul-de-sac shown as Barbara Court - a pedestrian easement along the south side of Lake Susan In addition, Rosenwald moved to recommend a wider street easement for the street shown as Lake Susan Drive, and that staff be authorized to negotiate with the developer for a fair reduction in park dedication fees. The motion was seconded by Mady and carried unanimously. Robinson moved to adjourn the meeting at 9:45 p.m. The motion was seconded by Boyt and carried unanimously. Prepared by: Lori Sietsema Park and Recreation Coordinator Park and Recreation Commission Special Meeting Minutes June 23, 1986 . A special meeting of the Park and Recreation Commission was called to discuss the park issue of the proposed development called Chanhassen Vista. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Mike Lynch at 6:00 p.m. Commission members present were Susan Boyt, James Mady, Wallace McKay, Mike Lynch, and Mike Rosenwald. Members absent were Charlie Robbins and Curt Robin- son. Staff present were Lori Sietsema and Bill Monk. CHANHASSEN VISTA: Lynch explained that the Park and Recreation Commission had reviewed this proposed development and had requested that an appraisal be done on the sloped area to determine its value. Sietsema said that the appraisal had come back and the fair mar- ket value had been determined to be $147,500, including the slopes on both the north and south side of the pond. Mady said that in the last development reviewed, the developer was required to give almost 8 acres of flat park land. He said that to be consistent, the City should be getting more land than the area around the pond to the 952 contour line. Rosenwald asked if Bud Andrus is a certified appraiser. Bill Monk said that Mr. Andrus was as qualified as anyone and has done . appraisals for the City in the past and always had reasonable opinions. Lynch said that the slopes were totally unusable and questioned whether the City really wants to own them at that price. He suggested that perhaps a conservation easement will achieve the same thing, which is to preserve the slopes. McKay asked if an easement were established, would the City be able to have trails across it. Sietsema said that a park plan should be developed that would identify trails and vegetation along the slope that would promote passive park use and wildlife. She said that this type of plan could be designed in conjunction with the DNR and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Rosenwald asked if we could approach the Kerber's to purchase the property from them instead of the developer. Monk reviewed the background of this proposal stating that the developer was asked by staff to bring the lots back at least to the tow of the slope. The plan was then reviewed by the Park and Recreation Commission, who asked for the slopes to be dedicated as well. Monk said that he had consulted with the City Attorney and an appraiser and they agreed that the City would have to com- pensate the developer for the loss of lots if the slopes were . taken. Monk further explained that it was not unusual for slopes to be included in lot area and the appraiser indicated this to be reasonable. . . . Park and Recreation Commission Minutes June 23, 1985 Page 2 Monk said that the developer is in favor of the easement and that no credit or reduction in park dedication fees has been discussed. He said that he felt it was reasonable to ask for the southwest corner of Lot 1, Block 2 for a trail leading to Kerber Boulevard, as this would not dramatically impact that lot. Boyt asked if developers in the past have ever disagreed with a land dedication request. Monk said that it is very common for the developer to object land dedication when it involves the loss of lots. He said that the City worked with the Chanhassen Hills developer to determine the park land dedication as well. McKay indicated that he could go along with the easement if the City's trail rights were maintained. Lynch said that he was only interested in owning what we can use. Mady said that he was afraid that the conservation easement would work fine for the first five years, but would be forgotten with second and third owners of those lots. McKay asked if the restrictions could be enforced. Monk said that the easement would be recorded on each title of property and can be enforced. Developing a landscape plan and implementing it now will make that area very defined. McKay asked if all the past recommendations would have to be reinstated. Sietsema said no, only the recommendations regarding the easement. Jay Johnson, resident, asked if this easement would leave enough back yard space for these lots. Monk said that it would be tight in some cases, but it could work. Lynch indicated that this could be a selling point as well. Mr. Johnson indicated that the neighborhood was not against the conservation easement. McKay made a motion to recommend the following: 1. The City acquire the land around the pond from the waterline to the 952 contour line. 2. The City prepare a park plan for Chanhassen Pond Park with the aid of the DNR and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser- vice that will preserve the slopes and promote wildlife in the park. 3. The City establish a conservation easement from the 952 contour line to the top of the slopes that will allow plantings and trails outlined in the park plan, and restrict the placement of buildings or structures, Park and Recreation Commission Minutes June 23, 1986 Page 3 filling or grading, application of fertilizers or chemi- cals, depositing waste or debris, and outside storage of any kind. 4. The City allow no reduction in park dedication fees. The motion was seconded by Rosenwald and carried unanimously. Rosenwald moved to adjourn the meeting at 6:55 p.m. The motion was seconded by Boyt and carried unanimously. Prepared by: Lori Sietsema June 26, 1986 . . . ..,..-/ ......~ .

At that time, the Commission asked staff to find out how much such a study would cost and what it would entail and to look into the development of a comprehensive trailway plan. . I have talked to Mark Koegler of Van Doren-Hazard-Stallings and he indicated that a feasibility study for the Minnewashta Parkway project would cost approximately $5,000. He said he had reviewed the Minnewashta Parkway area and felt that a trail could be done, but it may be quite expensive. The City is in the process of updating the Comprehensive Plan. This process involves reviewing the entire City for park/open space needs, including trailways. It is staff's recommendation that before any new trails be considered, a city-wide trailway system be designed as a part of the Comprehensive Plan updating process. This will enable us to look at the overall picture of trails throughout the City and prioritize areas. The 1986 budget has set aside money for this updating process, therefore park funds would not be required. Upon direction from the Commission, I will write a letter to the Minnewashta Homeowners explaining that a comprehensive trailway plan is being developed and that Minnewashta Parkway will be con- sidered at that time. .

We would like to propose a walkway along Carver Beach Rd from Chaparral Ln to the Carver Beach Park. We feel this w~lkwa~ is necessar~ to improve park access. It has been brought to our attention just how dangerous it is to walk on Carver Beach Rd. The~e are hill5 which mak~ for poor visibilit~ for both motorists and pedestrians. The other danger is from speeding motorists; many do not adhere to the 30mph speed limit, thus caUSing potential hazards to pedestians. It would be nice to be able to us~ the new plC'l.!:!9r>:\und equipment installed last year, unfortunately many people wlII not even attempt to go up to the park because of the dangerou~ walk. A walkway ( lnstead of a sidewalk) would be an economicRI and practical solution to the problem. It could start on the south side of Carver Beach Rd at Chaparral Ln and cross over to the north side at Redwing Ln and continue up to the park. The crossover at Redwing Ln affords the greatest visibilitw tor both motorlsts and pede5t~lans. This crossover could be backed up with the safety measurp of a stop sign to ensure controlled automobile speeds. We hope the park board will carefully consider this proposal and act on it promptly to enable our children t~ e~JOW the faCIlities safely. . -, \ jJ~ k~ eo..r~ ~ ~~ -S-P: CV", .

CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 MEMORANDUM TO: Don Ashworth, City Manager FROM: Lori Sietsema, Park and Recreation coordina~ July 16, 1986 DATE: SUBJ: Trailway Requests . Attached please find the Red Cedar Point Homeowners Association request to initiate a feasibility study for a trailway along Minnewashta Parkway. Such a feasibility study would cost approximately $5,000. Also attached is a request from residents in the Carver Beach area for a trailway along Carver Beach Road. The Park and Recreation Commission has reviewed these requests and though they were not unsympathetic to the needs of these residents, they were uneasy about putting in trails without a city-wide trail plan. The city is in the process of upgrading the Comprehensive Plan. Due to the increased number of requests for trails and the Commission's growing interest in establishing trails thoughout the City, the commission felt it appropriate to have an overall bike path/walkway trail plan developed as a part of the Comprehensive Plan upgrading process. The Park and Recreation Commission has recommended that both requests be temporarily denied and that they be considered for inclusion in the overall City trailway plan designed in the Comprehensive Plan upgarding process. The Commission felt this would eliminate the duplication of efforts, as well as save money, and give them a basis by which to review future requests. Manager's Recommendation: This office supports the recommen- dation of the Park and Recreation Commission, i.e. a City-wide trailway system should be developed prior to proceeding with individual projects. . During the Lake Ann Interceptor hearings early this year, staff . noted that the Metropolitan Council was requiring all cities to update their Comprehensive Plans (MDIF process). Staff stated that we would need help to complete these mandates. The Council agreed with this recommendation and authorized staff to make application for funding through community development block grant funds. We have now received notice of approval of expending up to $15,000 for the comprehensive update process. While waiting to hear from CDBG, we proceeded defining specific services needed to accomplish the rewrite. This work is now complete and we should be in a position to present a specific contract for our first meeting in August. The Comprehensive Plan contract being prepared includes updating of the recreation element. Of concern is whether we will be able to complete the level of detail discussed by the Park and Recreation Commission within our budgetary limitations. Recommendation: This office would recommend that staff be directed to include the trailway plan as a part of the Comprehensive Plan update and to inform the Park and Recreation Commission/City Council if budge- tary constraints cannot be met. Action on the trailway petition for Minnewashta Parkway and Carver Beach Road should be tabled until after the plan is received and adopted. J}CJ~ . . A. . Hay 9, 1986 . . Mr. Don Ashworth City Manager City of Chanhassen P.O. Box 147 Chanhassen, MN 55317 Dear Mr. Ashworth; SUBJECT: Feasability of and cost of walk/bike pathway along Ninnewashta Parkway I am writing for the benefit of the Chanhassen residents, located between Highway 5 and Highway 7, that use Hinnewashta Parkway for access to their property. It was unanimously decided that the property owners would like to see a right away for walkers, joggers, and bike riders along our scenic Hinnewashta Parkway. This can be the park and recreation development for this area. The result of the petition clearly defines that most of the citizens can use this walk/bike pathway. The definition of "unanimously decided" is derived from the results of our petition. There are 179 households in the area of concern. 124 or 70% of these households were contacted. 98% (121) households are in favor 2% (3) hOllseholds are not. The petition is enclosed. We respectfully request that you and your department put this request before the appropriate body (department, commision or full counsel) on as early a time frame as possible and before Hinnewashta Parkway goes into major spring repair which could affect the decision by tile appropriate ~overning body regarding the funding for this much needed improvement.

CITY OF CHAHHASSEH 6 . 690 COULTER DRIVE. P.O. BOX 147 . CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 July 15, 1986 Mr. Greg Datillo Red Cedar Point Homeowners Association 7201 Juniper Ave. Excelsior, MN 55331 Dear Mr. Datillo: Enclosed please find the minutes of the Park and Recreation Commission meeting that you attended on June 3rd. At that meeting, the Commission reviewed your request to prepare a feasi- bility study for a trailway along Minnewashta Parkway. The Park and Recreation Commission was receptive to the idea of . developing a trail in your area; however, they were concerned that the City's Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan did not address this topic. The Commission directed staff to inquire as to how much such a feasibility study would cost. Since that meeting, I have con- tacted our consultant and a feasibility study for this project would cost approximately $5,000. The City is in the process of upgrading the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan. A portion of this process involves upgrading the Park and Recreation section. The Park and Recreation Commission, at their July meeting, has recommended that a bikeway/ pedestrian trail system be designed and incorporated into the Comprehensive Plan. They have also recommended that your request be considered in that plan as the feasibility of such a project would be determined at that time. This request has been forwarded to the City Council and is sche- duled to appear on their agenda on July 21, 1986. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 937-1900. Sincerely, c44~ Lori Sietsema Park and Recreation Coordinator . . '. CITY OF CHAHHASSEH u 690 COULTER DRIVE. P.O. BOX 147 . CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 MEMORANDUM DATE: May 30, 1986 TO: Park and Recreaton Commission FROM: Lori Sietsema, Park and Recreation coordinator~ RE: Red Cedar Point Homeowner's Request for Feasibility Study and Cost Estimate for Bike Path Along Minnewashta Pkwy The Red Cedar Point Homeowners Association has requested that the City initiate a feasibility study for a pedestrian trail from Highway 5 to Highway 7, along Minnewashta Parkway. They are interested in knowing if such a trail is feasible and, if so, what the project costs would be. Such a project would involve employing a firm such as Van Doren Hazard Stallings to prepare designs for the trail, cost estima- tes, and calculations of estimated assessment. A feasibility study is quite detailed and most likely not an inexpensive item. I will have a rough estimate of how much consultant fees will be at Tuesdays meeting. This request provides the Park and Recreation Commission with the opportunity to look at the broader picture of bike trails in Chanhassen. Now may be the time to look to preparing a compre- hensive bike path plan for the City. The Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 1980, is quite vague in the section on bike paths and is has not outlined a definite plan for such. Residents are becoming more and more active and are looking for a safe way to walk, run or bike around the City. A comprehensive pedestrian trailway would involve connecting neighborhoods to each other, connecting neighborhoods to the downtown area and to schools, and possibly connect our Communtiy to neighboring com- munities. The Park and Recreation Commission is being asked to authorize a feasibility study for a pedestrian trail along Minnewashta Park- way. This office is recommending that the Commission authorize a feasibility study for a comprehensive trailway that would not only address Minnewashta Parkway, but the entire City. Park and Recreation Commission Minutes June 3, 1986 D . A regular meeting of the Park and Recreation Commission was called to order by the Commssion Chairman, Mike Lynch. Com- missioners attending the meeting were Mike Lynch, Wallace McKay, Charlie Robbins, Susan Boyt, James Mady, Curt Robbinson, and Mike Rosenwald. Staff present were Lori Sietsema and Don Ashworth. Residents present were: Greg Datillo, 7201 Juniper Avenue, Chanhassen, MN 474-0065 Ed Hasek, 6570 Kirkwood Circle, Chanhassen, MN Tom Heiberg, 3725 South Cedar, Chanhassen, MN 474-2466 Wayne Fransdal, 6200 Murray Hill Road, Chanhassen, MN 474-4857 Mike Liddicoat, Carver County Park Director, Chaska 448-3435 Sherri Mickelson, Chaparral Robbins moved to approve the Park and Recreation Commission min- utes of May 6, 1986. The motion was seconded by Rosenwald and carried unanimously. Red Cedar Point Homeowners Request for Trail Along Minnewashta Parkway Sietsema began by saying that the Red Cedar Point Homeowners were requesting the City to look into the feasibility of constructing . a pedestrian trail along Minnewashta Parkway. The residents in that area feel that there is a growing number of people who are jogging and biking along the road which is not always safe due to the narrow width, curves and hills. These residents have signed a petition stating this request. Greg Datillo stated that in 1982 a boy was nearly killed on this road. He said that the 124 signatures on the petition clearly shows that the people in the area want such a trail. He said that at this point they were only asking that a feasibility study be done that would outline the costs of such a project. Ed Hasek said that the population in Chanhassen is on the rise and is generally people with young families. These people are the Baby Boomers who like to jog and bike and Minnewashta Parkway is not a good linkage road. The road is deteriorating, has no curbs and has lanes only 12 feet wide. He said that the road will need upgrading soon and the trail should be done at the same time. He said that the third issue is that there is little park space on the west side of Lake Minnewashta and the residents are in favor of this being their neighborhood park. Tom Heiberg said that he agreed that the'population in the area is growing. He reiterated that the road was deteriorating and that the time was right to look at a feasibility study. He said that many joggers wear the headsets with music playing and are . not always aware of their surroundings which creates a dangerous situation. . Park and Recreation Commission Minutes June 3, 1986 Page 2 Boyt said that she was in favor of sidewalks and off-street trails, rather than adding extra width to the roads, although she has been told that costs are prohibitive. Lynch asked who maintained this road. Staff s~id the City. DattilIo asked if different plans could be developed that could be taken to the residents. McKay said that there should be an overall trail plan for the City. He suggested that such a plan be developed that would discuss the different kinds of trails i.e. off-street, on-street, wood chip, bituminous, etc. This type of plan would provide cri- teria to identify trails and to prioritize. . Hasek said that he sat on the park board in Mound and when a street project went in, trails were also constructed. He said that they were here to prevent an accident. He said that they would like a timetable of how this item would proceed as they have been asked to report to the residents. Sietsema said that she would send them a copy of the minutes and let them know when this item would be reviewed again. a , "i. ~, \fA. p -". (( McKay moved to authorize staff to prepare a proposal for comple- tion of a feasibility study for a comprehensive trailway system in Chanhassen. The motion was seconded by Boyt. All voted in favor and the motion carried. Lynch said that he would like to see what the consultant suggestions of what the plan should include. . Chaparral Homeowners Proposal to Purchase Additional Totlot Equipment for Meadow Green Park Sherri Mickelson was present to discuss a proposal to purchase totlot equipment for Meadow Green Park. She said she had reported the Commission's decision regarding Meadow Green Park totlot equipment to the Homeowners Association. The Association felt the need for additional equipment was immediate and has pro- posed to purchase up to $500 worth of equipment and are requesting that the City install and maintain it. Sietsema said that the equipment purchase should be reviewed by staff and the consultant to be sure that it will be consistent with our future plans. Mickelson said that staff could order whatever fit with the plan and bill the Association. Robinson moved to accept the purchase of up to $500 in totlot equipment from the Chaparral Homeowners Association and to authorize staff to install and maintain it. In addition, he moved that staff should work with the vendor to get equipment -'.. .", .-, ~\'i r I Data o FOR YOUR COMMENTS 0 FOR YOUR INFORMATION o FOR YOUR APPROVAL 0 NOTE & RETURN o TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION 0 NOTE & FILE o CALL ME 0 FOR YOUR SIGNATURE o SEE ME 0 o REPLY & SEND ME COpy 0 COMMENTS: ~ ;5 ~ flo~~.", ~ i{., LU,,-ll:::.<.<.; ~ ..

We would like to propose a walkway along Carver Beach Rd from Chaparral Ln to the Carver Beach Park. We feel this walkway is necessar~ to improve park access. It has been brought to our attention Just how dangerous it is to walk on Carver Beac~ Rd. There are hills which mak~ for poor visibility for both motorists and pedestrians. The other danger is from speeding motorists; many do not adhere to the 30fflPh speed limit, t~us causing pot~ntial hazards to pedestians. It would be nice to be able to U5~ the new playground equipment installed last year, unfortunately many people WIll not even attempt to go up to th~ park because of thE dangerDu~ walk. A walkway ( Instead of a sidewalk) would be an economicAl and practical solution to the problem. It could start on the south side of Carv~r Beach Rd at Chaparral Ln and cross o~er to the north sid~ at Redwing Ln and continue UP to the park. The crossover at Redwing Ln affords the greatest visibility tor both motorists and pedestrians. This crossover could be backed up with the safety measu~p of a stop si9n to ensure controlled automobile upe~ds. We hope the park board will carefully consider this pr~PDsal ~nd act on it promptly to enable our children to enJoy the faCllitie~ safely. . \ .JI~ ~ ~ ej 1":2.. -S-.? i C,,-<,\ <J S-O Pe,,<>--'.~,,< <..;~" "'"" --I n' rL.. .J....- ~ f f] ca'DfA1~ L ~ 1'( ." :~/. . .:"() ~;<.;,;~. ~ : q I 0 P\tOw.-...~ ct- oJ h--~ \o~..

CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 June 16, 1986 Laura Bros 6771 Chaparral Lane Chanhassen, MN 55317 Dear Ms. Bros: I have received your letter and petition requesting a pedestrian walkway along Carver Beach Road. This request will be reviewed by the Park and Recreation Commission on July 1, 1986 in the Council Chambers on the lower level of the Chanhassen City Hall. The meeting begins at 7:30 p.m. . The Park and Recreation Commission recently reviewed a similar request made by the residents along Minnewashta Parkway. At that time the Commission felt that it was essential 'that an overall trailway plan be developed before sections of trails are con- sidered for construction. The City is in the process of updating the Comprehensive Plan. A portion of this process will involve reviewing the entire City, including the Carver Beach area, and designing a trailway network throughout. Although your request will be reviewed by the Park and Recreation Commission on July 1st, I do not anticipate the Commission authorizing trail programs until 1987, when the updating process is completed. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 937-1900. Sincerely, -J:ON ~ Lori Sietsema Park and Recreation Coordinator m/s . CITY OF CHAHHASSEH \ 690 COULTER DRIVE. P.O. BOX 147 .

As with the Minnewashta Parkway request, staff feels that an overall plan should be developed before sections of trails are . constructed. It is staff's recommendation to table action on this item until the Comprehensive Plan is completed. It is esti- mated that the plan will be completed by the end of the year. . . * . . ~ ~ Park and Recreation Commission Minutes July 1, 1986 Page 3 Robinson moved to direct staff to include the development of an overall trailway plan in the Comprehensive Plan updating process, and also directed staff to consider the inclusion of any trail requests in that plan. The motion was seconded by Boyt and carried unanimously. The Commission asked staff to write to the Carver Beach Homeowners and the Minnewashta Homeowners to inform them of this action as well as future requests. Chaparral Homeowners Request to Acquire Lot for Park Purposes Sietsema said that she had received a request for the City to acquire a lot, at 6821 Redwing Lane, for park purposes within the Chaparral subdivision, and a petition supporting that request. She said that staff was recommending denial of the request as the area was located within the service area of Carver Beach Playground, Carver Beach, Meadow Green Park and Greenwood Shores, according to the Comprehensive Plan. She said that she had con- tacted New Horizon Homes, the current owners of the property, and they were asking $24,500 for this lot. Robbins said that he did not feel the price should be prohibi- tive, but that the Commission should decide if the need is there. The Commission indicated that although a park on each block would be nice, it is not a precedent that they were willing to set. They felt that the parks in that area were sufficient. Robinson moved to recommend that the request to purchase the lot located at 6821 Redwing Lane for park purposes be denied, as it is not in a park deficient area and is located within two blocks of Carver Beach Playground and within six blocks of Meadow Green Park. The motion was seconded by Mady and carried unanimously. Chanhassen Legion Donation of Bleachers Boyt made a motion to accept the donation of two sets of bleachers by the Chanhassen Legion. The motion was seconded by Robinson and carried unanimously. The Commission directed staff to send a thank-you to the Legion for the donation. Mady moved to adjourn the meeting at 9:15 p.m. The motion was seconded by Boyt and carried unanimously.

Mr. Norby feels that the number of small children necessitates a . totlot on their block. He has asked the City to purchase a vacant lot for which the owners are asking $24,500. Mr. Norby has stated that the existing parks in the area are too far away to send small children. The Park and Recreation Commission has reviewed this request at their July meeting (see attached minutes). The Commission felt that Redwing Lane lies within the service area of a number of parks, including Carver Beach Playground, 2 blocks away, and Meadow Green Park, less than six blocks away (see attached map). Because this is not a park deficient area and the Comprehensive Plan does not outline this lot for potential park acquisition, the Commission did not feel there was justification to purchase the lot. The Park and Recreation Commision has recommended that the request for the City to purchase the lot at 6821 Redwing Lane be denied due to sufficient existing park land in the area. . . . . June 23, 1986 Lori Sietsema Park and Recreation Director City of Chanhassen 690 Coulter Drive Chanhassen, Mn 55317 Ms. Sietsema, Recently, we spoke and discussed the feasibility of creating a small city owned and operated park on the empty lot located at 6821 Redwing Lane (Lot 8, Block 2, Chaparell Addition Chanhassen). In the immediate area surrounding this property there are some 15-20 small children between the ages of three and eleven years old. The children, for lack of a common ar~a to gather for play, are constantly crossing the streets to get from house to house and are spending a great deal of time playing in or near the streets. This has resulted in at least two very near accidents involving young children and passing vehicles during the previous months this spring. We do understand that there are two parks already in existence within approximately one half mile of this lot. However, I think you will agree that the distance is much too far for must of the Children to travel safely alone. Our intent is that these small children would use the property as a safe place to play, and since the lot is easily viewable from many homes, a number of parents would be able to supervise the children without being necessarily present at the park. Also, it has been brought to our attention that, because of its small size and because of the orientation of neighboring homes, this lot, has been difficult to sell for the pUrPOse of siting and building a home. Enclosed is a petition signed by parents and homeowners, within approximately a one block circumference, who would like to see the City of Chanhassen Park and Recreation Department and the City Council assess the feasibility of allocating funds in the 1987 budget for the purpose of purchasing the tract of land at 6821 Redwing Lane to create a city owned neighborhood park. Amenities of the site might, in the future, include a small play structure (swings, slide, etc.) but, at this time we are interested in only a number of shade trees and a maintained turf area.

CITY OF CBANBASSEN i 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: June 27, 1986 SUBJ: Chaparral Residents Request to Acquire Lot for Park Purposes . Attached please find a letter from Kevin Norby requesting the City to acquire a lot for park purposes at 6821 Redwing Lane. Also attached is a petition in support of this request. Mr. Norby feels that the number of small children in the area warrants additional parkland. He suggests that the existing parks in the area are too distant for small children. The Redwing Lane area lies within the service area of the Carver Beach playground, Carver Beach, Meadow Green Park and Greenwood Shores Park. The Comprehensive Plan does not show this to be a park deficient area. I have contacted New Horizon Homes, the current owners of the property, and they are asking $24,500 for this lot. It is staff's recommendation to deny this request for the reasons stated above. . Park and Recreation Commission Minutes July 1, 1986 Page 3 . Robinson moved to direct staff to include the development of an overall trailway plan in the Comprehensive Plan updating process, and also directed staff to consider the inclusion of any trail requests in that plan. The motion was seconded by Boyt and carried unanimously. The Commission asked staff to write to the Carver Beach Homeowners and the Minnewashta Homeowners to inform them of this action as well as future requests. Chaparral Homeowners Request to Acquire Lot for Park Purposes Sietsema said that she had received a request for the City to acquire a lot, at 6821 Redwing Lane, for park purposes within the Chaparral subdivision, and a petition supporting that request. She said that staff was recommending denial of the request as the area was located within the service area of Carver Beach Playground, Carver Beach, Meadow Green Park and Greenwood Shores, according to the Comprehensive Plan. She said that she had con- tacted New Horizon Homes, the current owners of the property, and they were asking $24,500 for this lot. Robbins said that he did not feel the price should be prohibi- tive, but that the Commission should decide if the need is there. . The Commission indicated that although a park on each block would be nice, it is not a precedent that they were willing to set. They felt that the parks in that area were sufficient. Robinson moved to recommend that the request to purchase the lot located at 6821 Redwing Lane for park purposes be denied, as it is not in a park deficient area and is located within two blocks of Carver Beach Playground and within six blocks of Meadow Green Park. The motion was seconded by Mady and carried unanimously. Chanhassen Legion Donation of Bleachers Boyt made a motion to accept the donation of two sets of bleachers by the Chanhassen Legion. The motion was seconded by Robinson and carried unanimously. The Commission directed staff to send a thank-you to the Legion for the donation. Mady moved to adjourn the meeting at 9:15 p.m. The motion was seconded by Boyt and carried unanimously. Prepared by: Lori Sietsema Park and Recreation Coordinator . CITY OF CHANHASSEN 690 COULTER DRIVE. P.O. BOX 147 . CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 July 16, 1986 Mr. Kevin Norby 6801 Redwing Lane Chanhassen, MN 55317 Dear Mr. Norby: The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed your request to acquire the lot at 6821 Redwing Lane for park purposes. . The Commission has recommended denial of the request due to the close proximity of Carver Beach Playground, which is only two blocks away and Meadow Green Park, which is less than six blocks away. The Commission felt that because the Comprehensive Plan does not show this as a park deficient area and does not outline this area for park acquisition, they had no justification to acquire this lot. You had asked me to find out how many people were currently being served by the existing parks in your area and the City standards for those parks. Carver Beach Playgound is a 2 acre park serving approximately 689 people. The City standard for a mini-park is .5 acres per 1,000 people. Meadow Green Park is 18 acres serving approximately 1103 people. The standard for a neighborhood park is 5 acres per 1000 people. Both parks are well within the stan- dards set in the Comprehensive Plan. This request has been forwarded to the City Council and is sche- duled to appear on their July 21st agenda. Attached please find the staff report that will go to the Council. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 937-1900. Sincerely, . r'\ '~I (~~l?.-{ /iu...-w-<-;...~-~. ~.

Upon inspection, Dale Gregory has assured me that the bleachers are in sound condition and that the park maintenance crew would be able to transport them. . Dale and I have also discussed a location for the bleachers. Last year the City purchased bleachers for the ballfield at City Center Park. Because all of the T-Ball, Ragball and PeeWee Baseball games are played on these fields, we felt that the bleachers should be placed on the fields at Chanhassen Elementary. I have discussed this with Lowell McMillan, Chanhassen Elementary Principal, and he has no problem with this suggestion. It is this office's recommendation to accept the Chanhassen Legion's donation of the two bleacher sections. . . . .

CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 MEMORANDUM TO: Park and Recreation Commission FROM: Don Ashworth, City Manager DATE: June 27, 1986 SUBJ: Lake Susan Park Acquisition Attached is an excerpt of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority's minutes of May 22, 1986. The HRA has taken the lead role in planning and developing Chanhassen Lakes Business Park. The second phase of the business park development includes the land bounded by Highway 101, the north side of Lake Susan, County . 17, and Highway 5 (this area includes the wellhouse/park shelter building on Lake Susan). The City/HRA are nearing completion of construction plans for Lake Drive East (see attached map). In the process of finalizing those plans, movement of the road (due to soil conditions) was necessary. This roadway movement has created a landlock situation for the wellhouse property. The HRA is in a position to correct this as a part of the final platting for Sunnybrook/Opus. However, before taking corrective steps, the HRA has asked staff to present this item to the Park and Recreation Commission to confirm that the City/Park Commission are desirous of including this additional parcel in the City's Comprehensive Park Plan. Again, the attached repre- sents the HRA's discussion on this item. Maps referred to in the HRA minutes will be available on Tuesday evening (these are not reproducible for inclusion with this packet). . . . . 4 HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MINUTES MAY 22, 1986 PAGE 2 Corporation at an amount equal to 100% of the appraised value, conditioned upon Mr. Roos submitting a development proposal for said property including anticipated completion dates; and - That the sale document include necessary reversion and penalty clauses binding Mr. Roos to completion of the project. All voted in favor and the motion carried. LAKE SUSAN PARK ACQUISITION: The City Manager reviewed various development potentials which may occur on Outlot B within Chanhassen Lakes Business Park (parcel lying directly north of the City's well house property). The Manager noted that at the original time of platting, Lake Drive East was anticipated to abut the northerly edge of the well house property (the well house was constructed by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority to provide water to the business park - park shelter amenities of this structure paid via park monies). Soil conditions necessi- tated moving Lake Drive East to the north and thereby created a landlocked condition for the well house property. Sunnybrook's development proposal has been approved by the City Council directly to the east of the well house property. Additionally, the Council has approved the feasibility study for the construc- tion of Lake Drive East (conditioned upon Sunnybrook's financing/submittal of letters of credit). Following action by the City Council to approve the feasibility study for Lake Drive East, both Opus and Sunnybrook approached the Housing and Redevelopment Authority asking that the special assessment reduction program be expanded to include properties abutting Lake Drive East (from County Road 17 to Highway 101). The request would also encompass properties owned by the Martin Ward Estate. The HRA acted favorably to this request by instructing the Manager to prepare a draft modification to the current special assessment reduction document which would include Lake Drive East (draft copy has been included in commissioner packets for discussion later in this agenda). The Manager reviewed various potential development alternatives for Outlot B (parcel landlocking the well house parcel from Lake Drive East), including: private development potentials, public development potentials of the entire piece, and public development potentials of less than the entire parcel~ The HRA generally agreed that acquisition of Outlot B should be considered prior to final platting and prior to Opus Corporation's establishment of a value on this parcel. The HRA also agreed that any potential sale should be conditioned upon Sunnybrook's \ , . HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MINUTES MAY 22, 1986 PAGE 3 . obtaining financing for their project, submittal of letters of credit guaranteeing road construction, execution of the development contract/plat/award of bids for Lake Drive East. The Manager noted that current financial projections do not include the expenditure for Outlot B, but that those same projec- tions do not include construction of the Sunnybrook Development. Based on current facts, repayment of the costs of the acquisi- tion, assuming Sunny brook does become a reality, would be less than one-half of a year tax statement for Sunnybrook. Although the HRA generally favored moving ahead with the acquisi- tion, the HRA concluded that any final action should be withheld until after the Park and Recreation Commission reviewed this item and determined that they would desire to see this parcel added to the City's Comprehensive Park Plan. CONSIDER FEASIBILITY STUDY PROPOSALS: Downtown Street, Utility Stormsewer: The HRA reviewed the reports submitted by the City Manager's office noting that both proposals (BRW and RCM) were comprehensive and met city stan- dards. Additionally, either firm would provide excellent results for the HRA. The Manager noted that, as RCM is currently under contract with two other projects, that the BRW proposal is recom- . mended. Additionally, the Manager believes that the BRW proposal would provide a cost savings of approximately $10,000. Following discussion, Swenson moved, seconded by Whitehill that the feasibility study submitted by BRW be accepted and that the Chairman/Manager should execute this contract. The following voted in favor: Commissioners whitehill, Bohn, Robbins, and Swenson. Commissioner Horn voted against. Motion carried. Stormwater Management Plan - Barr Engineering: The Manager noted the overlapping nature of the proposed "chain of lakes" preservation project and the HRA's Stormwater Management Plan. Barr Engineering has been awarded the engineering contract for the chain of lakes project. Accordingly, the proposal received from Barr Engineering for the HRA project is significantly lower than general proposals received approximately two years ago. The Manager recommends that the HRA consider accepting the feasi- bility study proposal from Barr Engineering. Swenson moved, seconded by Bohn that the Stormwater Management Plan Feasibility Study proposal from Barr Engineering be accepted. All voted in favor and the motion carried. APPROVAL OF BILLS: Whitehill moved, seconded by Swenson that the bills as submitted be approved. All voted in favor and the motion . carried. i.
