SUBJ: Recommendation to City Council to Accept and Approve Park Master Plan for
Manchester Park (Neighborhood Park Component of West Water Treatment
Facility)
The Park and Recreation Commission recommends that the City Council approve the proposed park
master plan for a new neighborhood park to be constructed adjacent to the West Water Treatment
Facility and approve the park name of "Manchester Park."
Park and Recreation Commission approval requires a majority vote of the commission.
The Park and Recreation Commission tabled this item on April 25 to take the opportunity to tour
the proposed park site. Staff will present information concerning the history of the Manchester
Park property acquisition and associated planning efforts on the 23rd.

The property for Manchester Park was purchased in 2005 to accommodate both a municipal
water treatment facility and a small neighborhood park. The plan has been to wait until the water
treatment facility was constructed and build the associated neighborhood park at the same time.
The water treatment facility project includes some portions of the work needed to complete the
park. These items include grading, construction of the cul-de-sac and parking area, a trail
connection, and retaining walls. A future construction project currently scheduled for 2018 will
purchase and install a playground structure, playground border, wood resilient surfacing,
concrete surfacing, and a picnic shelter.

Dear Resident:
The City of Chanhassen is pleased to invite you to attend the
April 25, 2017 Park and Recreation Commission meeting in
the event you would like to learn about and discuss upcoming
plans for a new neighborhood park. Property for Manchester
Park was acquired in 2005 as a component of the city's West
Water Treatment Facility project. Ultimately, this small but
picturesque park site will serve as a gathering spot for several
neighborhoods in the area.
At the meeting, Park and Recreation Department staff and a
landscape architect will provide an overview of the site and
the proposed park master plan. Citizens are invited to listen to
the presentations and provide comments. Ultimately, the
commission's responsibility is to make a recommendation to
the City Council to approve the park plan. Construction of the
park, its playground, picnic shelter, and associated
improvements is currently scheduled for 2018.
The meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the City Council
Chambers in the lower level of Chanhassen City Hall. Again,
please accept our invitation to join us on April 25'. Questions
may be directed to Todd Hoffman, Park & Recreation
Director, at thoffman@,ci.chanhassen.mn.us or 925-227-1129.
Sincerely,
