Upon conclusion of the discussion that evening, the Commission tabled the item and requested staff to reschedule the item on the August agenda. One of the primary motivators for doing so was to study the 2007 CIP alongside of the current five year CIP for years 2006-2010. The goal of managing a successful Park and Trail CIP program is to provide recreational facilities and open space areas that reasonably meet the outdoor recreation needs of the community's residents and protect environmentally- sensitive areas. The city's comprehensive plan identifies a number of policies to accomplish this goal. Primary among them are: ~ Provide park and open space facilities that emphasize accessibility and use by Chanhassen residents. ~ The location, design, use and impact of recreation facilities should be compatible with and enhance the environment of both the site and surrounding area. ~ Encourage the cooperative effort between local school systems and the city in the acquisition, development and usage of recreational lands and facilities. ~ Provide open space areas that assist in the conservation and protection of ecologically sensitive areas. ~ Provide a system of neighborhood parks that are centrally or conveniently located within the area they serve and where possible, are integrated with school facilities. ~ Encourage citizen participation in the planning for and development of park and open space facilities. ~ Provide a balanced park system that includes neighborhood parks, community parks, special use facilities, schools and private developments; all interconnected by a linear trail network. ~ Where possible, neighborhood park lands should be planned for prior to development to ensure that future facility demands can be met. ~ The city should develop a comprehensive interconnected trail/sidewalk system throughout the community. The City 01 Chanhassen . A growing community with clean lakes, Quality schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautiful parks. A great place to live, work, and play. Park and Recreation Commission August 22, 2006 Page 2 The big picture in the world of comprehensive park and trail planning requires that the land and/or right of ways necessary to establish a park and trail system be acquired and set aside. Secondary efforts focus on the development and maintenance of desired facilities and land improvements. To date, the City has acquired 740 acres of park and open lands throughout the community. This represents approximately 5% of our total area. A focus on the city's trail system over the past ten years has resulted in the construction of public trails now totaling 54 miles in length. An additional 23 miles of sidewalk connect many individual neighborhoods to the trail system. The ability of the Park and Recreation Commission to continue to guide these acquisition and development efforts is essential to our continued success in these areas. Attached please find my recommendation as presented last month for the 2007 Park and Trail acquisition and development CIP. Also attached is a listing of the current 5-year CIP (2007-2011). In recent years, the Commission has focused on safety improvements in the area of playgrounds. With leadership from the council on this item the city has replaced or updated all outdated playgrounds over the past three years. What is your next priority? What items are missing from the current 5-year CIP? What items currently listed have lost their luster? I look forward to a discussion with the Commission in the coming week to answer these questions. RECOMMENDA TION Staff recommends that the Commission forward a recommendation to the City Council for a 2007 Park and Trail Acquisition and Development CIP and an updated 5-Year CIP (2007-2011).
