The subdivision section of the code specifies what improvements are required to be installed by land developers. The wording of this section, as it deals with sidewalks and trails, has resulted in some confusion in the past. The planning staff is looking to the Park and Recreation Commission for clarification in this area. In brief, this is what the Subdivision Section of the City Code currently requires for sidewalks and trails: Sec. 18-78. Required improvements. b) 5. Sidewalks may be required. Sec. 18-79. Park land dedication'requirements. a) As a prerequisite to subdivision approval, subdividers shall dedicate land for parks, playgrounds, public open spaces and trails and/or shall make a cash contribution to the city's park fund and trail fund-as provided by this section. (l) In lieu of a trail donation, trail construction, or trail easement dedication, the city may require a cash donation for the trail system. The cash dedication requirement shall be established annually by the city council t) Subdividers of land abutting streets that have been designated in the city's comprehensive trail plan for the installation of a trail shall be required to dedicate the land for the trail to the city and construct the trail. An appropriate trail fee credit shall be granted. Park and Recreation Commission March 19, 2003 Page 2 of 2 The Planning Commission would like to see the installation of sidewalks be mandatory. Specifically, they would like to amend the language in Sec. 18-78 b) 5. to read: "Sidewalks shall be required on at least one side of all local streets. Trails shall be located on collector and arterial streets and off-street connectors to City parks, to neighborhood commercial uses, to adjacent neighborhoods and to schools, or as designated in the Comprehensive Plar~ " The planning staff would like to have the Park and Recreation Commission review this proposed language change and provide a recommendation. Historically, the Park and Recreation Department has administered trail development and the Planning Department has administered sidewalk development.

This year we set two records; one being the latest date for opening our rinks (Jan 12), and the other being the latest date for closing (March 12). With the late start it was decided to cancel the seven family finks in neighborhood parks and to only maintain the four main skating parks that have warming houses. Reports attached: · Skating rink opening and closing dates · Skating rink cost for 2002-2003 Park maintenance personnel have gone out to check and clean all wood duck houses and have repaired or replaced any houses that needed attention. This year's 63% percent usage is up from last year's 53%. The Senior Men's Club helped us out again this winter by building 20 new wood duck houses. Ten of these houses will be going up as soon as possible. Two houses will be added north of Centennial Hills by a pond and eight will be added.to the swampy area by the pond at Lake Susan. Currently park maintenance employees are working on staining all park entrance sign' s, trimming trees, preventative maintenance on all lawn equipment and some needed repair to the paddle boats. I am currently contacting last year's seasonal employees'to see who will be.. returning this year. This year we have one seasonal employee returning who has worked with us for three years. This year he will be doing his internship for his degree in Park & Ground's Maintenance at Anoka Hennepin Technical College.

Doug Grow writes about people and events in the We don~t hold parades for people like Patricia Scott. But she represents the sort of verities that should be celebrated: courage, selflessness and persistence. Above all, persistence. Monday morning, Scott and the Minnesota Disability Law Center metro area. His column appears in announced that after a five-year straggle, she has reached a settlement with the city of Brooklyn Park that will make the suburb's parks more accessible to people with disabilities. the Metro se~ion on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. Under terms of the settlement, Brooklyn Park will make 60 accessibility modifications in 23 of its 50 parks. The city is expected to do such simple things as improve signs and add more parking for disabled people. It is also going to do more costly things such as putting hard surfaces on trails leading from parking lots to playing fields and picnic areas. Utilities ~ Email this stor5 @ Pdnt this story Et Make us your homepage Search Find itl-j More search _options Also, the city is to pay Scott $20,000 and the Disability Law Center $65,000. Jay Lotthammer, of the city's recreation and parks department, said there is nothing in the settlement that the city didn't intend to do before Scott took legal action. The city always has contended that it has been in compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act. "But to have continued the legal challenge in this case would have just become more costly," Lotthammer said. "It's better to come to an agreement." Scott said the process was exhausting. "But I'm happy because I think this will have impact on other cities as well as Brooklyn Park," she said. In fact, the settlement may mean that cities across Minnesota will need to make improvements in parks so that people with disabilities can do such basic things as get to picnic areas or to the fields where their kids are playing baseball games. That is all that Scott, 56, ever wanted -- to watch her kid play ball. He is 14 now. Five 3'ears ago, when she started going to his soccer and baseball games, she learned that many of the fields where he played htt,~.ll,,',,.,,. ,-s.,,q,-;k,,nt~ r. nmlvtnr;~,el/llq¢l"l"lt~"lc;gg html '1/1 R/Oil(lo, Doug Grov,,: Woman settles 5-year fight to make use of Brooklyn Park's parks easier for disabled were inaccessible to her. Her problems were particularly difficult in wet ,,,,:eather when her v,,heelchair would sink into dirt paths, leaving her stuck and her son embarrassed. In 1999, she filed a complaint with the Minnesota Department of Human Rights, alleging that Brooklyn Park was violating the state's Human Rights Act. A year later, the department found probable cause to support her complaint. But negotiations involving the Human Rights Department, Brooklyn Park and Scott went nowhere. So, two yem's ago, Scott filed suit in Hennepin County District Court claiming that the accessibility barriers in the city's parks were a violation of the State's Human Rights Act. It wasn't until a January trial date approached that the city got serious about resoMng the dispute, she said. Now, there is some hollowness to her triumph. Her son concentrates on youth basketball, meaning that access to the fields in the parks isnk as important to Scott as it used to be. She also believes some officials agreed to settle because there was no choice, not because of empathy. "I wanted the city to truly get it." she said. "l wanted them to have a ::.pi,'it o1: understanding that people in my position are no different than anyone else. \Ve just want to be :tble to enjoy our lives." She understands how difficult it is for most of us to "get it." "1 don't kno,,',' if you can fully understand until you have to walk in the shoes of a person with disabilities," she said. Stricken with polio as a child, Scott "threw away" her crutches ',,,'hen she ``vas 5 years old. During much of her life, she said. she ,,,,'asn't al,,vays sensitive to things like accessibility. But about 14 years ago, she was found to l~ave post-polio synch'ome, which attacks and weakens the muscles. For several years, she has relied on a motorized wheelchair. Although many people have supported her fight, she also knows many resent her. She has seen minutes of meetings, she said, in which she has been called a "troublemaker" and "a woman with an attitude." City consultants said that Brooklyn Park ',,,,as one of the better places in the country for park accessibility. Scott and attorney.' Rick Macpherson don~t doubt Brooklyn Park's claim. But they also said that the city failed to follow suggestions made 15 years ago by its o,,,,'n consultants on issues of accessibility. "They did studies and then put them on a shelf to gather dust," Scott Page 2 of 3 Doug Grow' Woman settles 5-year fight to make use of Brooklyn Park's parks easier for disabled said. · Thanks to Scott, the studies have received a good dusting.

March 4, 2003 Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Dear Conservation Partner: The Metro Wildlife Corridor project is a collaborative effort involving seven non-profit organizations and five DNR divisions to strategically and proactively protect, restore, and connect key natural areas that will provide a habitat network and additional benefits in the seven county metropolitan region. This important project, recommended by the Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources to receive $4.9 million in state funds, is scheduled to begin July 1,2003. A critical element of this project is to prioritize land conser~/atlon projects. Using a natural resource assessment recently completed by the DNR and seeking input and suggestions from natural resource staff from a wide variety of agencies and organizations, the region has been divided i..~to i 1 Focus Areas. These Focus Areas contain the regions most significant natural s. reas and often follow major river and stream ccrddors. See enclosed map for these locations. The :-,ext step in developing the project is [o meet with potential project partners in each of tile Focus Areas.
