The following member was absent: Mary Muehlhausen. MINUTES: A motion was made by Richie Hemping and seconded by Brian Foltz to approve the minutes from the last meeting as read. Motion unanimously approved. JIM KILLIAN, CHANHASSEN ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION: Jim Killian was present at the meeting to ask the board to consider granting facilities for a temporary or permanent Little League baseball field. A little league field is 2/3 the size of a normal field with 200' fences and a mound with sodded infields. There is the possibility of a temporary arrangement with West-Tonka Jr. High. It would require a fence before the field could be used. A suggestion of using a snow fence was mentioned- which would work for a couple of years. The Commission was asked if the City would supply the snow fence and posts having a joint venture between the City and the School. The question of a permanent field was raised using undeveloped park land. Fran will have to check this out along with any legalities involved. Possible location of Lake Ann for the permanent field. The initial step would be to meet with the Schools and John Jones. e REVIEW 1983 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET AND SEND RECO~WffiNDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THEIR REVIEW: Changes in the 1983 Capital Improvement Budget: Lake Ann - $20,000.00 for public water scratched as it is predicated on development of the lake. Meadow Green Park: Reduced to 7,500.00 - combining trees, shrubs, site improvements and ball fields for more flexibility. On Additional Considerations - Regulatory buoys and informational signs for all Lakes changed to $1,600.00. Resurface road and parking at Lake Ann - $5,500. A motion was made by Jack Mauritz that we recommend the above changes be made ln the 1983 Capital Improvement Budget for Chanhassen Parks with the total amount being $36,300. The motion was seconded by Tom Schoenecker. Motion unanimously approved. REVIEW LAKE LUCY GRANT: They have been negotiating with the o~mers regarding the gift for the City to match. The owners want 250' in order to save the high ground and the trees. The City will have to pay for the new survey to be done at a cost of $6,200 which will come out of the park bond issue. Another possibility is to use the $50,000 to develop Lake Ann if unable to develop Lake Lucy. But Lake Ann could be developed reasonably cheap without the $50,000 grant and without all the restrictions imposed if state money is used. A motion was made by Tom Schoenecker and seconded by Brian Foltz that we recommend to the City Council to spend the money on the survey appraisal and pursue Lawcon funds if available. However the purchase will have to be made from the present owner with no strings attached, perferably. Motion unanimously approved. (Jack Mauritz voted a YES vote with the understanding that there is no conflict of interest). ~. A secondary motion was made by Jack Mauritz that we recommend to the City Council that if it becomes evident that we cannot strike a deal with acquisition for the land at Lake Lucy the Council should take action to apply for Lawcon LCMR funds for the development of the boat launch at Lake Ann. The motion was seconded by Joe Warneke. Motion unanimously approved. (Jack Mauritz voted a YES vote with the understanding that there is no conflict of interest). e e e Minutes Park and Recreation Commission November 23, 1982 STATUS REPORT - LOTUS meeting in December. problem or it will be the site.
