Park and Recreation Commission Meeting
Minutes
July 1, 1986
.
A regular meeting of the Park and Recreation Commission was
called to order by acting Chairperson, Charlie Robbins. Com-
missioners present were Susan Boyt, Jim Mady, Curt Robinson and
Charlie Robbins. Commissioners absent were Mike Lynch, Mike
Rosenwald, and Wallace McKay. Staff attending the meeting were
Lori Sietsema and Don Ashworth.
Minutes
A motion was made by Robinson and seconded by Boyt to accept the
minutes of June 3, 1986 and June 23, 1986 as presented. The
motion carried unanimously.
HRA Proposal to Purchase Land to Expand Lake Susan Park
City Manager, Don Ashworth, was present to discuss a proposal by
the Housing and Redevelopment Authority to purchase parkland to
expand Lake Susan Park. Ashworth presented a map of the existing
park stating that at the time of acquisition the proposed road
would give the City access to that park. He said that due to
topography, it was necessary to move the location of that road to
the north, leaving the park landlocked. The City Council has
approved the plan which includes the relocation of the road and
the question now is what will happen to Outlot B, which lies .
between the road and the park.
Ashworth said that the HRA was proposing to purchase that tract
of land for park purposes rather than have the park face the back
of a commercial/industrial building on that site. He said that
the HRA has sent this item to the Park and Recreation Commission
for review as it concerns the park; however, the purchase will
not involve any park funds. He said that the property would be
about six to eight acres, enough space for tennis and ball/soccer
fields.
Mady moved that the Park and Recreation Commission endorse the
actions of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority to acquire
Outlot B and that the HRA be encouraged to consummate the purchase
so that the Park and Recreation Commission can include said
outlot in their Comprehensive Park Plan. The motion was seconded
by Robinson and carried unanimously.
Meadow Green Park Totlot Improvement Update
Sietsema reviewed the action the Commission had taken to date
on the Chaparral Homeowners request for additional totlot equip-
ment at Meadow Green Park. She said that originally the
Homeowners requested that the City purchase additional tot lot
equipment for the existing play structure. The Commission moved
to purchase big swings and install a new play surface of pea gravel .
in 1986 and to consider additional play module in 1987. The

Homeowners then carne back with a request for the City to accept a
purchase by the Chaparral Homeowners Association of play equip-
ment to be added to the existing structure. The Commission
accepted the donation and asked that the Homeowners work with
staff to insure that the equipment will be consistant with the
park plan.
Since that time, Sietsema said, staff has consulted the vendor of
the play equipment and found that the existing play module will
not accommodate additional extensions. She suggested that the
Commission revise their plan and purchase a new play module in
1986 and the big swings in 1987. She said this will allow a
place for the equipment the Homeowners are proposing to purchase
and will be approximately the same price.
Robinson moved to recommend that the City purchase a new play
module for Meadow Green Park in 1986 and consider the purchase of
big swings in 1987. The motion was seconded by Mady and carried
unanimously.
Goose Control Program Update
Sietsema said that Dr. Jim Cooper's group from the University of
Minnesota had removed over 65 geese at Lake Ann and Lake Lucy and
about 100 geese on Lake Minnewashta. She said that additional
geese were spotted a few days later and the group carne back to
capture 22 more at Lake Ann and Lake Lucy and 26 more at Lake
Minnewashta. The grand total of geese removed from Chanhassen
was approximately 215. No geese were removed from Lake Susan as
there were none spotted there in the preliminary surveys.
Comprehensive Trailway Plan
Sietsema explained that at the previous Park and Recreation
Commission meeting a request to authorize a feasibility study for
a trailway system was reviewed. At that time, the Commission
asked staff to find out how much such a study would cost, what
it would entail and to look into the development of a comprehen-
sive trailway plan.
Sietsema said that a feasibility study would cost about $5000.
She said that the City is in the process of updating the
Comprehensive Plan which involves reviewing the entire City for
park/open space needs, including trailways. She recommended that
before any new trails be considered, a city-wide trailway system
be designed as a part of the Comprehensive Plan updating process.
This would enable the Commission 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.

.
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.

SUBJ: City Council Action on Park Related Items
Below is a list of park related items recently reviewed by the
City Council and their action on those items.
.
- Chaparral Residents Request to Purchase a Lot for Park
Purposes: The City Council felt that the Park and
Recreation Commission's recommendation was correct. They
indicated that perhaps more supervision of small children
is in order. The Council moved as recommended.
- Trailway Requests: The City Council tabled action on both
trail requests until a comprehensive trail plan could be
formulated. It was suggested that the Commission form a
committee to develop a park and trail plan (see attached
minutes).
- Donation of Bleachers by Chanhassen Legion: The Council
accepted the donation of 2 sets of bleachers from the
Chanhassen Legion as recommended. The Council directed
staff to write a letter of thanks to the Legion (attached).

PARK AND ROCREATION RELATED REQUESTS:
--
a. CHAPARRAL RESIDENTS REQUEST TO PURCHASE A LOT FOR A NEIGHBORHOOD
PLAYLOT .
b. MINNEWASHTA HOMEOWNERS REQUEST FOR A TRAILWAY ALONG MINNE.WASHTA
PARKWAY.
c. CARVER BEACH HOMEOWNERS REQUEST FOR A TRAILWAY ALONG CARVER BEACH
ROAD.
Lori Sietsema: 'Ibe Park and Recreation COmmission recently reviewed a request
made by a number of homeowners in the Chaparral area for the City to ];Xlrchase
a lot at 6821 Redwing Lane for park purposes. '!he homeowners feel that the
existing parks in tie area are too far to sem their small children. The lot
is located right here and the two dominant parks in the area are Carver Beach
playgroum and Meadow Green Park. Carver Beach playgroum is 2 blocks from ~
that area and Meadown Green Park is about six blocks from the area. 'Ibe area
lies wi thin the service area of about four parks total. Those are the two
closest. 'Ibis is a map showing park deficient areas. 'Ibe park deficient
areas are not in the area in question. I contacted tie owner of the vacant
lot. 'Ibey are asking $24,51313.1313 for that lot. Park and Recreation Commission
did not feel there was justification to purchase the lot with tie number of
parks in the area. 'Ibe Park and Recreation COmmission is recommending that
the request be denied due to sufficient existing parks. Mr. Nordby who wrote
the letter with this request was here earlier but had to leave and he just
wanted to reiterate that there have been a number of close calls with small
children in the streets and they felt that there are about 15 children who are
very, very close within this one lot am he felt this would elim inate a
potential problem. I indicated that perhaps maybe it was a traffic problem
more than a park problem. The Park and Recreation COannission did not feel
at this time that they wanted to set precedence to start putting small
playgroums in each neighborhood so that was another reason for recomrneming
denial.
COuncilwoman Watson stated she felt that these kind of play areas don't solve
tie problem, they almost create them. There is no such place as a safe place
to send a 3 year old by themselves. A chi ld that age should al ways be
accompanied by an adult am if an adult is with them, then tiey can easily
make use of the other parks in the neighborhood.
COuncilman Geving: I have a comment that is kim of related to all three of
these requests that we are looking at tonight and it involves the fact that we
need a park plan am trails plan am if there are any of the Park am Rec

City Council Meeting - July 21, 1986
people out in the audience, I think they will recogni ze that we are kind of
getting by by the seat of our britches on parks, trails am plans. I think
there are enough interested citizens such as the person who proposed this,
Phyllis Pope, we could resurrect her from the old Park and Rec team 10 years
ago and others who might be interested enough to work on a committee with the
Park and Recreation people and develop such a plan and I have such a plan. I
have been working independently. I told Lori some time ago that I would
develop a plan with her am for her but I think we are at a point where we
need some citizens help and I would like to propose is that we advertize
openin:; for Park people. People who would like to work on a park am trails
plan and let's develop one for the city and not get too prematurely involved
in lookin:; at individual requests like this particular one or the Minnewashta
homeowners and others but develop a whole plan for the city once and for all.
We need to do that so that is the only thing I wanted to add am I would be
very willing to work on that to complete my plan with the help of others.
Sue Boyt: That is in our last minutes. The Park and Recreation Corrunission is
requesting that a plan be made.
Councilman Geving: What I'm saying is let's turn it around and let the people
in Chanhassen build the plan.
Sue Boyt: We want input from the people. '!hat is in our plan for public
hearings.
Councilman Horn moved, Councilman Geving seconded to deny the request to
purchase the lot for a neighborhood playlot for Chaparral. All voted in favor
of denial and motion carried.
Councilwoman Watson moved, Councilman Horn seconded to table Minnewashta
Homeowners request for a trailway along Minnewashta Parkway and Carver Beach
Homeowners request for a trailway along Carver Beach Road until a designated
plan has been formulated imicatin:; the direction the City is going to take as
part of an overall city plan for parks and trail ways. All voted in favor and
motion carried.
Councilman Horn suggested that if a citizens group is put together, that it
be under the auspice of the Park and Recreation Corrunission am not the City
Council.
Mayor Hamilton indicated that Don Ashworth had a couple of items regarding the
Terry Cook matter which needed clarification.
Don Ashworth: My concern was as the item was left there may have been
confusion as to what the City Council's action was on the item. The Terry
Cook item did not involve any form of variance. '!he lot did exist prior to
1972 am as such did represent a buildable lot. The question to the City
Council was whether or not he would be permitted the opportunity to extend
sewer am water to that lot. The City Council's vote was in the affirmative
allowing him to do that.

South Lotus Lake Boat Access Operational Procedures
The South Lotus Lake Boat Access is currently under construction
and it is anticipated that it will be completed sometime after
Labor Day Weekend. The City Council has directed the Park and
Recreation Commission to review operational procedures for the
access and forward a recommendation to them.
.
It is anticipated that Lotus Lake Homeowners will ask for a
reduction in the number of parking spaces for cars with trailers
as well as a restriction on motor size for boats using the
access. They have cited Christmas Lake as an example where these
concessions were given. I have discussed this with Cindy Wheeler
of Department of Energy and Economic Development (DEED)
Recreation Grants Section, and she has informed me that there was
significant concern by legislators after being informed of these
concessions. In reaction, the legislators have passed a state
law which prohibits putting any discriminatory restrictions on
boat accesses. Ms. Wheeler states that this law applies to
Chanhassen.
The South Lotus Lake Boat Access was developed with LAWCON/LCMR
funds which are administered by DEED. A condition of receiving
these monies requires that we comply with standards set by them.
DEED, as an agency member of the Metropolitan Waters Access Task
Force, has set the following standards which are mandatory for
all projects using state or federal funds.
1. A minimum of 1 car/trailer parking space per 20 acres of
water surface are to be provided.
.
2. The access must be open a minimum of 16 hours per day
between the hours of 4:00 a.m. and midnight.
Park and Recreation Commission
July 31, 1986
Page 2
.
3. No special fees may be charged for the use of the boat
access.
4. No discriminatory restrictions may be placed on the
access users. Any restrictions must apply to all lake
users.
Ms. Wheeler will be sending me a letter confirming these stan-
dards, which I will forward to you before Tuesday's meeting.
I have also contacted Tim Smalley from the DNR. Mr. Smalley
indicated that any boat motor restrictions would have to be
approved by the DNR according to the Minnesota Water Surface Use
Ordinance. He said that a restriction of motor size would apply
to all lake users, including lakeshore owners. I was sent an
application in case the City chose to pursue this option.
In researching boat accesses in the metro area, I have found that
Lake Riley in Eden Prairie has the most similarities. The City
of Eden Prairie employs a park attendant on weekends in May and
full time between Memorial weekend and Labor Day weekend. The
park attendant limits the number of boats entering the lake by
monitoring when the parking area fills up. Once the car/trailer
parking area is filled, the access is closed until a boat exits .
the lake.
To remain consistent, it is recommended that Park rules be the
same as in all other City parks. These rules are outlined in the
City's Park Ordinance (attached) and include:
No pets allowed
No intoxicating liquor
Park hours are from 6:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m.
It is the recommendation of this office to budget for a full time
park attendant, but only schedule one for weekends. If weekday
problems should arise, we will be prepared to put someone on full
time. As in Eden Prairie, this park attendant would close the
boat access as soon as the car/trailer parking area is filled
until a space opens up. The attendant would also be responsible
for enforcing park rules with the Sheriff's Department as backup.
Staff is suggesting that these procedures be in place for the
opening of the boat access in May of 1987.

Dear Mr. Ashworth,
I'm wrltlng for the Board from Lotus Lake Homeowners
Association, regarding the new and old accesses on Lotus
Lake.
Since there will probably be a lot of discussion on the
layout and rules for the new access, we would like to see
this as part of the agenda at the earliest possible time.
We would also like to discuss the closing of the old access.
Please let us know when we can expect to have this on your
agenda. Thank you

Don Ashworth has forwarded to me your letter regarding the opera-
tion of the Lotus Lake Boat Access. The Park and Recreation
Commission will be reviewing operational procedures and boat
access rules at their meeting on August 5, 1986.
Staff will be researching how similar boat accesses are run in
other cities. Because this boat access was partially funded by a
federal LAWCON Grant, the City is obligated to comply with guide-
lines and restrictions set up by the DNR and the LAWCON manual.
Staff will outline those at that meeting as well.
I will be sending you an agenda for the August 5th meeting as
well as my staff report. Please feel free to contact me at

DATE: 3une 23,1986
TO: Council Members ---
~;f-~
FROM: Lotus Lake Homeowners Association
Dear Council Members,
A decision concerning the Lotus Lake Access has been requested
for council agenda as soon as possible. Since construction has
begun, we wish to have prompt notification of a date for this
discussion.
The access is owned by the City and therefore it will be
controlled by the City. The DNR has assured us it only gives
its approval. However it does not control the access. Some
serious consideration of the regulation of the access is in
order. Recently the Lotus Lakes use classification was changed
from "general development" to "recreational". This was
basically done by density and size but most importantly by
DEPTH. The lake is very shallow and very susceptible to
disturbance by boat traffic especially now that there has been
such irretrevable damage by mud and silt from the construction
sites. Large displacement boats with large motors will do even
more damage. In addition there are several environmentally
sensitive areas on the lake that will be affected.
Several new things have occurred since the last consideration of
the Access by council. First, the required change in the
beachlot ordinance immediately allows 9 more powerboats on the
lake. Other potential developments could add an additional 15
or more powerboats. We are beginning to see enough boats on the
water to approach safety limits. With the potential number of
additional boats from beachlots plus the twelve from the public
access, we fear that safety will be jeopardized not to mention
the additional turbidity caused by these large motors.
Secondly, the DNR has made special concessions for accesses on
other lakes. The access on Lake Minnewashta has a 25 H.P.
limit. More striking is the access agreement with Shorewood
over the Christmas Lake Access. The DNR has agreed to reduce
parking spaces from 13 to 1 and to limit horsepower to 25 H.P.
for seven spaces. All this on a lake with substantially greater
depth surface area, excellent water clarity and no additional
pressure from beachlots.

RE: Riley Lake Access Control
Oea r Ms. So sin:
You have requested information regarding the procedures the City of Eden
Prairie follows regarding the access at Riley Lake Park. First of all, the
access is considered a public access by the Department of Natural Resources.
The City constructed a controlled access with the minimum DNR limits of 15
car/trailer parking spaces for a 300 acre lake. The p~blic access is
uncontrolled from ,September through April. B~in,ning in Hay of each year the
City pays an attendant to control the access on weekends only. Beginning on
V Memo-Y;i a 1 Da y weekend the access is controlled seven da ys a week through La bor -1L.
i'-~ =- - - .,.- '"'\
On weekends and holidays an attendent is provided from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. 4IIt
Occasionally, i.f the weaiher--,s projected to be extremely warm, the attendant
will be moved up to 8 a.m.
On weekdays the attendant is schedu 1 ed from 1 p.m. to approx iJ~a teJy_~ p ~m.
This access is within Riley Lake Park. There are 15 parking places for cars
with trailers and an additional 20 parking spaces for vehicles only. ~
these parking ,spaces are filled, the attendant pulls a cable across the
entra~~to the park and informs people that drlve to the park that the
parking stalls are filled. The City now has an overflow parking lot; however,
fn'tne past people have taken their vehicle and parked along County Road 1,
walked into the park and waited until one of the parking places opened up.
When this occurred, the parking attendant provided people with a number and
when one of the parking places opened up a number was called over a loud
speaker. People that were in the park waiting for the next opening would then
show their number to the attendant and be allowed to launch their boat and
move into the open parking space.
11 M~ny people request the park attendant allow them to
indicate they will park their vehicle outside of the
a 11 owed. 1 \

Georgette:
As you requested and we discussed on the phone today, I am writing to you
to clarify the following points relative to the Department of Natural
Resources' (DNR's) position on the City of Chanhassen's Lotus Lake water
access site.
~l.
As long as all of the 12 car-trailer parking spaces at the Lotus Lake
access site are maintained in a free and open manner for the public's
use, the Department will consider public access to the lake to be
adequate (based upon car-trailer parking standards established by the
Metropolitan Water Access Task Force).
.
2. As long as the Lotus Lake access site remains free and open to the
public, at this time, the Department does not have a position on
actions which the City may choose to impose to increase or restrict
other lake access.
I hope this clarifies the matter for you.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Sietsema:
I am writing in response to questions you raised pertaining to the development
of the public boat access at Lotus Lake Park.
The Department of Energy and Economic Development (DEED), as a member agency of
the Metro Water Access Task Force, has adopted the following standards as man-
datory for all projects using state or federal funds:
1. The access must be open at least 16 hours a day between 4:00 a.m. and 12
midnight;
.
2. No fees charged for launching any craft;
3. Where an access is provided within a park, uniform fees shall be charged all
users, regardless of residence; and
4. No special regulations that do not apply equally to the riparian boater.
In addition, a recently passed state law (Chapter 439, Section 4) mandates that
the local municipality "must allow the same types and sizes of watercraft and
horsepower of motors to access and enter the lake or waterbody as are generally
allowed to be operated on the lake or water body." In reference to the hor-
sepower restrictions on the public access at Christmas Lake, it should be noted
that Chapter 439, Section 4 "does not apply to ordinances adopted pursuant to
contracts providing for a public access to a body of water entered into by a
county or municipality with the commissioner of natural resources that have been
executed prior to the effective date of this act, but section 4 will apply to
all public accesses after June 1, 1993." (See Chapter 439, Section 6.)
If the City has a concern in regard to the types of boat useage on the lake, I
would suggest considering surface use zoning. Mr. Kim Elverum, Boat and Water
Safety Coordinator, Department of Natural Resources (DNR) could provide you with
additional information. He can be reached at 296-3336. You should be aware,
however, that any surface use zoning restrictions apply to everyone equally.

As Lotus Lake is 254 acres in size, in order to meet minimum access adequacy
standards, 12-13 vehicle/trailer parking spaces will need to be provided. After
discussions with Ms. Gretchen Blank, Planning Grants Administrator, and based on
Section 504 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the site should have one
designated handicapped vehicle/trailer parking space. This space should be
located adjacent to the boat ramp. An additional 12 vehicle/trailer parking
spaces should also be located on-site with as many spaces as feasible located
adjacent to the ramp.
In answer to your final question, public access users cannot be required to park
their vehicle/trailer units in the access parking lot, as that would be con-
sidered discriminatory. If it becomes apparent that riparian owners are parking
in the lot to exclude the public, the Department of Energy and Economic
Development would recommend, through the Metro Water Access Task Force, that the
DNR consider developing their own access to ensure the public's right to utilize
the lake.
I hope this information helps clarify your concerns. If I can be of any further
assistance in this matter, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
&t~If.~

Chanhassen Vista Conservation Easement
The City Council has approved the preliminary plan of the
Chanhassen Vista development with the recommendations made by the
Park and Recreation Commission. The Commission's recommendation
included the development of a conservation easement along the
slopes around the pond, from the 952 contour line to the top of
the slopes.
The development contract, which includes the conservation easement,
is scheduled to appear on the August 4th City Council agenda.
Attached please find a copy of that easement developed by staff
and the City Attorney. The easement is very restrictive while
reserving the City's right to incorporate the park plan to be
designed for Chanhassen Pond Park. All comments and concerns
voiced by the Commission and residents were taken under con-
sideration when preparing the easement.
This item is for your review and information and requires no
action. If any changes are desired, a recommendation would be in
order.

The grading plan for North Lotus Lake Park is complete with a
copy attched. It is my understanding that grading and area
restabilization were to be handled on a price quotation basis,
instead of the lengthy and cumbersome bid process, consistent
with the way work was performed at Meadow Green Park. City main-
tenance crews would then install the baseball infield and gravel
the parking lot. The tennis courts and shelter building will
need to be programmed for installation on an upcoming capital
improvement budget.
To complete the grading and area restoration along with the
material costs for the infield and parking lot, it is estimated
up to $15,000 will be needed. If it is decided this work be
completed in 1986, it is recommended that the amount of $15,000
be allocated from Fund 410 so work can be completed in September.
1AJ~~ !h-ottL/-IeJ
Park and Recreation Coordinator's Update
.
The 1986 Capital Improvement Program Fund 410 currently has a
balance of approximately $31,000. The Commission initially had
intended to carryover $15,000 to $20,000 into the 1987 410
fund so that enough money could be available to begin the develop-
ment of North Lotus Lake Park. However, because we are able
to develop this park in stages, enough monies are available this
year to begin grading.
Staff sees the development of this park done in stages with as
much done in-house as possible. The first stage would involve
grading and installation of a ballfield, gravel parking lot and
skating rink, which would be done in-house. The second stage
could be done in 1987 and would involve tennis court installa-
tion, shelter building, tot lot and trails.

Park and Recreation Commission Update August 15, 1986~
The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed this item and have
recommended that $15,000 from the Capital Improvement Fund 410 be
allocated for the grading project at North Lotus Lake Park. The
CIP Fund currently has an undesignated balance of approximately
$31,000.
Note: A $3,000 request is being made for Steve White's Eagle
Scout Project. If that request is approved, the Capital
Improvement Fund will have a balance of approximately $28,000.

Excerpt of Park and Recreation Commission Minutes
August 5, 1986
NORTH LOTUS LAKE PARK GRADING PROJECT: Sietsema said that
earlier this year the Park and Recreation Commission and City
Council had reviewed and approved a master park plan for the park
on the north side of Lotus Lake. She said that the City
Engineer, Bill Monk, is prepared to begin the grading of the
park this fall if Capital Improvement funds are allocated.
Sietsema indicated that once the grading was done, the rest of the
development could be done in-house as funds became available.
McKay moved to recommend that the City allocate $15,000 of the
Capital Improvement Fund 410 for the grading project at North
Lotus Lake Park. The motion was seconded by Rosenwald and
carried unanimously.

SUBJ: Proposed Eagle Scout ProJect ~
~-Ig ~gic
The Park and Recreation Carmission recently reviewed a proposed Eagle Soout pro-
ject presented by a local youth, Steve White. An Eagle Scout Project involves
planning a project, recruiting the people to do the project and directing and
organizing the group.
Mr. White is proposing to construct a stairway up the hill to the observation
deck at Chanhassen Pond Park. The stairs would be constructed with railroad .
ties and filled with crushed limestone rock. The hill is approximately 342 feet
long with a rise of approximately 28.5 feet. The stairway would be a con-
tinuation of the trail off of Laredo Drive, which will enable easier access to
the pond area.
Mr. White has met with Mike Lynch, who has determined this to be a sui table
Eagle Soout Project. He has also met with Dale Gregory, Park Maintenance
Foreman, who will help to supervise the project.
Mr. White plans to have the \\Ork done by other Boy Soouts and area residents.
He feels he will be able to provide any equi};Elent to canplete the project and
that rrost of the work will be done by hand.
The attached budget has been prepared by Mr. White. It is estimated that the
project will cost approximately $2500. He has stated that he would like to get
the project going as soon as possible and will have most of the materials
ordered by the end of the month. He is hoping to canplete the project before
the first snow.
The Park Capital Inprovanent Program Fund currently has a balance of approxi-
mately $31,000 which is not designated for any specific projects. The Park and
Recreation Carmission has recomnended that the City allocate up to $3,000 fran
the Capital Inprovement Program fund for the carpletion of a stairway at the
Chanhassen Pond Park.
Note: A $15,000 request is being made for the North Lotus Lake Park grading .
project. If that request is approved, the Capital Inprovanent Fund will have a
balance of approximately $16,000.

EXERPT FROM PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES
August 4, 1986
EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT, STEVE WHITE: Steve White, 8104 Dakota
Avenue, was present to discuss his proposed Eagle Scout Project.
He stated that he would like to construct a stairway up the hill
to the observation deck at Chanhassen Pond Park. The stairs
would be constructed with railroad ties and filled with crushed
limestone rock. The hill is approximately 342 feet long with a
rise of approximately 28.5 feet. White stated that he would
organize the workers to complete the job.
Lynch stated that he talked with Dale Gregory, Park Foreman who
stated that the walkway portion will be blacktopped to the por-
tion where this project would begin. A culvert will also be
installed.
Sietsema stated that she had spoken with the City Engineer who
was concerned about loaning City equipment to complete this pro-
ject. White explained that they could possibly complete the pro-
ject just using shovels. There will be a lot of digging
required and he estimates that it will take 5 hours per set.
White further stated that he will be using Scouts from his troop
and other troops, any residents he can recruit, and he will be
asking the churches for some help. Most of the work will be
completed on weekends. White would like to develop work teams
that would install one set of stairs per weekend. He has not
decided how many people he would need yet as he is waiting to see
what kind of response he gets from citizens. The project will be
started at the bottom of the hill and go to the top.
Lynch suggested that a roto-tiller might be of some help in
preparing the site.
White stated that he would like to get the project going as soon
as possible and have most of the materials ordered by the end of
the month. He is hoping to complete the project before the first
snow.
Lynch stated that he would also like to see a bridge built over
the stream in the park and that would possibly be another Scout
project.
Lynch asked White how he planned to get the crushed limestone to
the site. White stated that although there was a "no motorized
vehicle" sign on the path, he was hoping that a truck could make
the delivery. Sietsema suggested that he work with Dale Gregory
on that item.
McKay asked if the money for this project would come out of the
Park and Recreation Commission budget. Sietsema stated that the
funds would come out of the Capital Improvement Program which
currently has approximately $31,000.
Lynch stated that he asked a landscape architect what a project
like this would cost if it were completed under a contract and
he stated it would be $12,000.
Robinson moved to recommend that the City Council allocate up to
$3,000 from Park and Recreation Capital Improvement Funds for
completion of a stairway at Chanhassen Pond Park. McKay seconded
the motion. All voted in favor and the motion carried.

RECi:;' lEO
To: Ms. Lori Sietsema
Park and Recreation Board
AUG 1 1986
.
Dear Ms. Sietsema,
I am writing to request that my name be entered on the agenda for the
August 5th meeting of the Park and Recreation board. I am a member of Boy
Scout Troop #330 which meets in Chanhassen. I am currently working
towards the rank of Eagle Scout and need only to complete a service
project which benefits a community, a school, or another group other than
Boy Scouts. For the project, I must contribute a minimum of 40 hours of
my own time and coordinate many other worker hours.
I believe that I have found a suitable project. I would like to organize
the construction of stairs up a hill by the observation point at Chanhassen
Ponds Park. I would gather together workers from my Troop, the city of
Chanhassen, and other groups. We would most likely meet on weekends and
some scattered weekdays. The hill I am speaking of is approximately 342
feet long with a rise of about 28.5 feet. To make walking this hill much
easier, I would use railroad ties and box off level sections of the hill. I
would then fi 11 these boxes with crushed I imestone to form a stairway.
On Thursday, July 17th, I met with Dale Gregory and Mike Lynch at the
site. It was then that I got the idea for the project. I think that this
project would be very beneficial to the look of the trail as well as to the
comfort of walking it.
Because I have just returned from camp and made the measurements
only yesterday, I cannot give a precise estimate as to the cost. By the
Tuesday meeting, however, I should have all the necessary figures. As the
project stands now, I should need the following materials:
- 8' Rai lroad Ties
- Crushed Limestone Fi 11
- Metal Spikes (used to spike R/R ties together)
- Rebar (Reinforcing bars to anchor R/R ties to the ground)

To complete this project, I plan to gather volunteers from Boy
Scout Troops, churches, and other sources as needed for the
project. The major jobs will be done on weekends, when more
adult help can be arranged. Minor jobs wl1l most likely be
completed on weekdays (ie. cutting ties, marking step locations,
etc...)
