AYES: NAYS: PARK BENCH DONATION PROGRAM Councilmember Schneeman said that she would like to initiate a park bench donation program in which individual residents of Mendota Heights could purchase a park bench AYES: 6 NAYS: 0 Staff provided updates on the following item: • August Recreation Report ADJOURN Motion made to adjourn by Linnell and seconded by Portz. AYES: NAYS: The meeting adjourned at 7:50 p.m. City of Mendota Heights Memo To: Parks & Recreation Commission From: Mary L. Hapka, Recreation Programmer Subject: Request for development of a Skateboard Park Date: October 31, 2001 The City of Mendota Heights received a letter from Matt Engelhart dated October 9, 2001 requesting the city build a skateboard park in Mendota Heights. Patrick Hollister, Assistant City Administrator, requested that I contact Rich Dippel, Director of Parks & Recreation for the City of South St. Paul. Mr. Dippel coordinated the construction of a Tier I skateboard park at a neighborhood park in South St. Paul; the skateboard park was built in the spring of 2001. I contacted Mr. Dippel and was given the following information. There are currently two types of skateboard parks as designated by the League of Minnesota Cities, 1. Tier I — Basic skateboard park, younger less experienced skaters, and all ramps are 3 feet and under in height, supervision is not mandated, no helmet required. 2. Tier II —Advanced skateboard park, skateboarders with more advanced skills, ramps/jumps can be 36 inches or higher, supervision is required. Costs Involved • Construction costs can range from $40,000 - $150,000 or higher depending on what type of park is built: Tier I Skateboard Park $405000 ($18,000 to paint asphalt + 20,000 structures) Tier II Skateboard Park $150,000 • Salary for part-time skateboard supervisor Attendant to supervise skateboard park $6,000 for an approximately 5 month season (late May to late August). Liability • Tier I skateboard park; no additional insurance required. • Tier II skateboard park; additional insurance is required. Participation N1r. Dippel stated that at the opening of the skateboard park attendance was hieh but has since leveled off to approximately 15-20 kids per day. Participants that use the park on a regular basis tend to be younger more inexperienced skateboarders. Mr. Dippel has found that once the skateboards increase their skill level they tend to go back out onto the city sidewalks looking for more of a challenge. Mr. Dippel receives calls from the local schools complaining of skateboarders still using the sidewalks and steps at the schools to skateboard. Neighborhood Response During the first year of operation of the South St. Paul skateboard park there were many neighbors who objected to the skateboard park. The Parks and Recreation Department had a uniformed officer at the skateboard park for approximately one week due to problems reported by the public; a skateboard park supervisor was also added. During the 2"d year of operation the neighborhood seems to be much more supportive and problems have significantly decreased with the addition of the supervisor. In conclusion, Mr. Dippel reported that he feels the Tier 1 skateboard park provides an excellent place for skateboards to congregate and pursue the activity of skateboarding. Mr. Dippel is currently in the process of contacting Steve Sullivan, Director of Dakota County Parks, in hopes of having a Tier II skateboard park developed at one of the county parks in northern Dakota County. Action Required: I bring this information before the Commission for discussion purposes only. Please review attached letter received from Matt Engelhart. October 9, 2001 Dear Mr. Hollister, My name is Matt Engelhart. I am interested in having the parks and recreation put a skateboard park in Mendota Heights. These are my reasons: 1. We do not want to destroy public property. 2. We want to skate freely. 3. We want new people to enjoy skating. 4. We want to have a place nearby where we can meet our friends and skate together. 5. We want you to support kids who want to do something that does not involve drugs, gangs, or criminal activity. This is wholesome fun! Please consider my request. Consider this: You may not understand the sport or the way we dress, but we are athletes and are passionate about our sport. We will continue to skate, we just need a place to do it. I look forward to seeing you on November 13. Thank you for listening to me. Sincerely, Il NN ►d Matt Engelhart 68D-ODDS LMCIT LMCRisk Management Information L•oy..• of Minn to Cain 145 University Avenue West, St, Paul, MN 55103-2044 G6ca p.omo6ng call « Phone: (651) 281-1200 • (800) 925-1122 Fax: (651) 281-1298 • TDD (651) 281-1290 wmw.hncit.hnnc.ore SKATE PARKS INFORMATION & LOSS CONTROL GUIDELINES This memo offers backeround information on skate parks, and loss control requirements, recommendations, and liability coverage. If your city is planning to build a skate park, please call your LMCIT Loss Control Representative at 612-766-3172. What is a skate park? A skate park provides artificially constructed structures for the skater to practice the in -line skating and skateboarding. Constructing skate parks: • Reduces conflicts between youth and authorities; Reduces damage to public and private property; and, Provides a safe place to practice the sport. To ensure that skaters will practice at these facilities, it is important for local governments to work with local skaters in developing a facility, and pass ordinances banning skating in other places. Possible skate park features are: • Half -pipe structures. This equipment is shaped like a U and can range from two to ten feet mah. A half -pipe purposely does not have a staircase to the platform area; this measure deters unskilled skaters from using the ramp. Bowl structures. Bowls are pilings driven into the ground with clay packed around to form hills and valleys covered with concrete, asphalt, or stand alone fiberglass flume type bowl. They look Like a large empty swimming pool with rounded edges and moguls contained inside of it. Street skating structures. Equipment such as rails, "fun box", and the "pyramid", reflect obstacles actually found on the street and are ofren more interesting. These structures can rapidly deteriorate with use, and it is necessary to budget for regular maintenance. To date, there are no national standards for constructing ramps. However, some of the design considerations recommended by the National Recreation and Park Association include: Users must be included in the design process; The size should not be less than 12,000 sq, ft. nor greater than 15,000 sq. ft; Construction costs should be approximately $8.00 per sq. ft. and include labor, materials and profits for the contractor; The ideal location for a facility is in an existing or new park with access to restrooms, drinking fountains and shade trees; and Different levels of the skaters' abilities must be considered, which can be accomplished by the height, width, and slope of structures. Injuries and liability Aggressive skating is a potentially dangerous sport. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission conducted a detailed analysis of the sport of skateboarding and found that it requires complex motor skills. The maximum amount of motor skills are found in individuals that have hit puberty; however, the aging process beyond the teens can begin to affect skateboard -riding performance. It is recommended that children younger than five years of age should not use skateboards. The CPSC study found that regardless of age, experience is a key factor in reducing the likelihood of injury. Another finding from this study is that in almost all cases of severe injury, the victim was not wearing protective equipment at the time of the accident. The study concludes that wearing of protective equipment could undoubtedly reduce both the frequency and the severity of skateboard related injuries. Equipment that should be wom includes helmet, knee -pads and elbow -pads. An American Medical Association study concluded that in -line skating and skateboarding leads to a significant number of wrist and head injuries. The issue of protection against head injury is particularly important because of the potential for long-term disability. In its hazard analysis of skateboards, the CPSC stated that because there is an element of risk in the sport itself, even optimum conditions would not completely prevent accidental injury. An experienced skateboarder, wearing full protective equipment and riding a well -engineered and maintained skateboard in a carefully controlled environment is still at risk for injury or death. The probability may be reduced but the risk cannot be completely eliminated. Potential liability exposure for cities include: • Injuries to skaters; • Injuries suffered by a bystander or spectator; Improper design, construction or manufacturing defects; Negligence based on irregularities in the skating surface due to wear or vandalism, in conjunction with a failure to repair; Claims could be based on failure to wam or based on products liability (Le., if boards or safety equipment is rented or provided); and Injuries caused by a co -participant may give rise to claims involving failure to supervise. What are the options for a municipal government? Local governments have several options regarding skate parks including: 1. The city builds the skate park and operates it as part of its parks and recreation department. A prime example of a city owned and operated skate park facility is the John Rose Minnesota Oval in Roseville. Each person admitted into the park must sign and review liability waivers, which are then kept on file. Skaters are required to wear a helmet, wrist guards, kneepads, and elbow pads. All employees are trained to enforce rules of the park, and additionally, are trained in procedures for preventing the spread of infectious diseases transmitted by blood and other potentially infectious materials. It offsets its expenses by charging admission to users. 2. The city owns the skate park and an association operates it. 3. The city owns the skate park and an association leases the property and operates it. 4. A nonprofit association owns and operates the skate park in private land. For the last three options, skaters organize into a nonprofit association to build and maintain a skate park. By leasing (or selling) land to the group to construct and run a facility, the city would be able to transfer liability risks to the association. The contract between the city and the association should contain proper hold harmless/indemnification language and requirements for the group to have sufficientinsurance, An example of this approach is found in the relationship between Mankato and the Mankato Area Skateboard Association (MASA). After two and a half years of setbacks, in 1993 this nonprofit association was able to convince the city of Mankato to donate land for a "roller sport" facility. They needed to raise $127,000 to build the in -door facility, which is now known as the "Woodworks. These options are difficult to implement because it takes some time for skaters to organize. And since the majorityof skaters are between 14-18 years of age, there is a short time of involvement and it is difficult to assure continuity. However, there are great benefits of working with a nonprofit association. Skaters have an investment in seeing the facility succeed, and because skaters are intimately involved in the creation of the facility, the park will offer equipment able to keep their interest. LNICIT coverage for Skate Parks When planning a skate park, please involve your city's LMCIT Loss Control Representative, 612- 766-3172. If you have any questions about LMCIT coverage of skate parks, please contact your city's underwriter at 651-281-1200, or 800-9254122. LMCIT offers member cities liability coverage for skateboard/ in -line skating parks. After conducting an in-depth analysis of skate parks, LMCIT devised a two -tiered approach for covering these facilities. Tier 1 facilities have features generally less than three feet in total height. No additional premium is charged for this type of skate park. V Tier 2 facilities consist of ramps with features greater than three feet in total height. Premium rates for tier 2 skate parks will range from $2,500 to $7,500. Factors that will affect the premium charge include: Anticipated attendance levels Size and number of ramps Hours of operation of the facility (i.e., open a few days a week versus each day) Loss Control Guidelines for Tier 1 Skate Parks Tier I facilities do not need to be fenced or supervised, although the city may choose to do so. Ramps must have structural integrity and should be constructed according to professional blue prints. Equipment and ramps must be fixed in place and separated by a minimum 10-foot use zone. In addition, youth can not bring their own ramps into the designated skating area. Signage is recommended including rules regarding the use of skate parks and indicating that personal protective equipment is recommended to use the park's facility. Equipment includes helmet and elbow/knee pads. Regulations need to be enforced by the police and/or parks and recreation department by the use of a formal inspection procedure. A weekly maintenance and inspection program must be in place. Depending on the type of ramps and amount of use, inspections may be needed on a daily basis to check for vandalism and wear. Loss Control Guidelines for Tier 2 Skate Parks Loss control measures need to be implemented for tier 2 skate parks. Although the following guidelines give requirements and recommendations for tier 2 skate parks, those planning a tier I park should review the general themes. If you are considering a skating facility, the five most important areas to include within your plans are: Environmental controls; Supervision; Facility rules, regulations, and signage; Maintenance and safety inspections; and Enforcement of skaters wearing personal protective gear. Environmental controls Proper assembly and installation of ramps and equipment are crucial for structural integrity, stability and overall safety. One source of information regarding skate park ramp design is available through the International In -line Skating Association's web page at wwwaisa.org. Installation of equipment should not deviate from the manufacturer's instructions. After assembly, equipment must be inspected before its first use. As a precaution, the manufacturer's assembly and installation instructions and all other materials collected concerning the equipment should be kept in a permanent file. LMCIT recommends that skating be allowed only in designated areas. The following specifics are required for LMCIT coverage of tier 2 skate parks: The skating area will need to be completely enclosed by a fence. The fence must provide adequate protection for spectators from flying boards, other debris and/or falling skaters. If open at night, the facility must be adequately lit. Skater should never be allowed to bring in their own ramps, handrails, or other structures that could be used to perform stunts. The designated area must be secured by a lock during closed hours. Facility rules and regulations, including hours of operation, will be posted in a conspicuous location. Competitions must be restricted to only those sponsoring organizations who are able to provide separate insurance coverage and a contract holding the city harmless and indemnified. In addition, large advanced ramps should be accessible to only those of advanced experience and superior athletic ability, and physical conditioning. Young skaters (between 11 and 13 years old) may not have enough body mass to use a larger structure. Large ramps/half-pipes are not recommended for average community and recreation department parks. Large half -pipes are not used as much as other pieces of equipment. Most skaters are unlikely to be able to use advanced ramps because of lack of experience and athletic ability. Also, large half - pipes are the most expensive type of ramp with a cost of more than S20,000. Supervision General supervision, as it specifically relates to safety, stresses there must be adequate staffing for all services and activities. The proposed facility must be supervised at all times when it is open to the general public. The person or supervisor in charge of the facility must have sufficient knowledge of skateboarding and skating to enable him/her to review and determine the skill level of skaters. An adequate emergency plan must be developed for the skate pazk's operation. Staff members will be trained regarding all safety rules and operational procedures. All training and orientation nformation given to staff members must be documented and kept on file. Supervisors should limit the number of people in the skate area to minimize injuries resulting from collisions. The facility director should determine the patron limit based upon the size of the aggressive skating area, the number of employees on duty, seasonal demand, etc. This will help ensure a safe management ratio between supervisors and users. Since injuries at skate parks can be severe, it is necessary that minimum medical standards be met. Besides having your personnel trained in CPR and first aid, you should have the following readily available: • A telephone or radio communications to emergency services; • A complete medial first -aid kit on premises; • Ice packs and sanitary towels available; and • An accident report to be completed by facility supervisor on duty following any accident or injury occurring at the facility. A complete accident report should be filed by the employee on duty following any accident or injury occurring at the skate park. All accident reports must be kept on file by the city. This report should include: 1. Date; 2. Time of day; 3. Injured person's name, address and phone number; 4. If the injured person is a minor, the name of his/her parent or guardian; 5. Names and phone numbers of any witnesses; and 6. A complete description of the events and circumstances surrounding the accident or injury. Facility rules, regulations, and signage An aggressive skating facility must be signed and constructed with the priority of reducing the risk of injury to participants and spectators. Written facility rules and regulations must be posted in a visible area. Signage should be easy to read and must be accompanied by visual symbols, and wherever necessary, be translated into the language of the community. The facility will need to post and enforce established rules and regulations to include, but not necessarily limited to: • Operating hours and admission requirements Possible age and skill level requirements Behavior requirements • Requirements regarding the use of personal protective and safety equipment Requirements concerning the fitness for use of skateboards and related equipment Skate runs should be labeled clearly as to degree of difficulty In addition, the park should retain the right to revoke skating privileges of participants who are rowdy or who do not abide by the rules All users of a skating facility need to complete the following: • An understanding agreement of the roles and regulation of the park. (Attachment A) • A facility registration card before using the facility. Registration cards must be kept on premises. (Attachment B) A facility identification card that will be shown to gain entrance to the facility. The user must carry an identification. (Attachment C) A warning and waiver signed by the skater and guardian, if a minor. (Attachment D) Some ideas to provide more safety for those who participate include: lessons for novice skaters; pre - use equipment checks by personnel; and inclement weather operational restrictions. Maintenance and safety inspections A large number of injuries are caused by poor or inadequate maintenance, which could probably be eliminated by establishing procedures to address the maintenance problem. These procedures include documented regular safety inspections, repair programs, and hazard identification training for maintenance staff. Safety inspections must become a major activity for all aggressive skating facilities. The rising number of injuries — and the recognition that many of these injuries can be prevented through planning and care — has underlined the need for a documented regular inspection program. Safety inspections are an ongoing process from the installation of the aggressive skating structure until its removal due to age, wear, or obsolescence. Inspections must be regular and based on a standardized process form. The more frequently the facility is inspected, the better the opportunity to spot any potential problems. The frequency of inspections will be determined by the amount of use that the equipment receives, its present condition, its construction, and its exposure. Trust members are required to conduct and document at least monthly self -inspections of all aggressive skating operations and facilities. Personal protective gear Ail skaters must wear safety equipment at all times. The protective gear currently on the market is not subject to federal performance standards, and therefore, careful selection is necessary. Protective gear will help absorb the impact of a fall. It should not interfere with the skater's movement, vision or hearing. This equipment includes, but is not limited to, the following: • An appropriate helmet • Knee and elbow pads Propershoes Checklist for A.. 2 skate parks The following is a checklist of requirements needed to receive and maintain coverage for a tier 2 facility by LMCIT: ❑ The skating area will need to be completely enclosed by a fence. The fence must/should provide adequate protection for spectators from flying boards, other debris and/or falling skaters. ❑ If open at night, the facility must/should be adequately lit. ❑ Skaters should never be allowed to bring in their own tamps, handrails, or other structures that could be used to perform stunts. ❑ The designated area must/should be secured by a lock during closed hours. ❑ Facility rules and regulations, including hours of operation, will be posted in a conspicuous location. ❑ Trained supervisors must/should be present at the facility during hours of operation. ❑ Document a formal maintenance program and continue that program for the life of the facility.

Parent/Guardian: Date: CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO November 8, 2001 TO: Parks and Recreation Commission FROM: Patrick C. Hollister, Administrative Assistant SUBJECT: Presentation by Loucks and Associates: 19-Lot Subdivision of the Ridder Property, 1744 Dodd Road Discussion Loucks and Associates have submitted an application fora 19-lot subdivision of the Ridder estate at 1744 Dodd Road, in the area of Mendota Heights commonly referred to as the "Superblock". A public hearing on this application has been scheduled for the Planning Commission's November 27 meeting. Because this is the last large parcel of single-family residentially zoned land in Mendota Heights, with considerable natural amenities such as trees and wetlands, City Staff asked Loucks and Associates to attend the November meeting of the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting to present their plans and to solicit any feedback the Parks Commission may wish to provide. This feedback will be provided to the Planning Commission and the Council when they deliberate on this subdivision proposal. Park Dedication Fee Policy At their October 2, 2001 meeting, the Council changed the formula for cash park contributions from $750 per lot to $1500 per dwelling unit. (Please see the attached Resolution 91-94.) The City also retained the right to determine whether to accept the park contribution in the form of cash, 10% of the land, or special amenities such as trails. Loucks and Associates have indicated that it is their preference to provide the entirety of their park dedication in the form of cash. Loucks and Associates at this time do not intend to provide any public park facilities or trails. If the Parks Commission wishes to recommend that Loucks and Associates provide a park contribution in a non -monetary form, they may do so, with the understanding that the Planning Commission and the Council might receive feedback from the neighbors surrounding this development that public access to this development should not be encouraged. Action Required Allow Loucks and Associates to present their subdivision application. The Parks Commission may make recormnendations to the applicant, the Planning Commission and the Council regarding tree preservation, wetlands protection, park dedication, etc. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION NO.Ol-62 RESOLUTION AMENDING RESOLUTION 91-94, ESTABLISHING A PARK CONTRIBUTION FORMULA BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights that Resolution No. 91-94 be amended in its entirety to read as follows: PARK DEDICATION FEE POLICY Subdivision 1 The City Council recognizes it is essential to the health, safety and welfare of the residents of Mendota Heights that the character and quality of the environment be considered to be of major importance to the planning and development of the City. In this regard, the manner in which land is developed and used is of high priority. The presentation of land for park, playground, and public open space purposes as it relates to the use and development of land for residential, commercial, and industrial purposes is essential to the maintaining of a healthful and desirable environment for all citizens of the City. We must not only provide these amenities for our citizens today, we must also be mindful of our future citizens. It is recognized by the City Council that the demand for park, playground and public open space within a municipality is directly related to the density and intensity of development permitted and allowed within any given area. Urban -type developments mean greater numbers of people and higher demands for park, playground and public open space. To disregard this principle is to inevitably over -tax existing facilities and thus diminish the quality of the environment for all. It is the policy of the City of Mendota Heights that the following standards and guidelines for the dedication of land for park, playground and open space purposes (or cash contributions in lieu of such dedication) in the subdividing and developing of land within the City shall be directly related to the density and intensity of each subdivision and development. Subdivision 2 The owners of land being subdivided shall dedicate to the City a reasonable portion of the land for use as public parks, playgrounds, trails or open space. The reasonable portion shall not be less than 10% of the total land in the proposed subdivision. The City may determine the location and configuration of any land dedicated, taking into consideration the suitability of the land for its intended purpose and future needs of the community for park, playground, trail, or open space property. This paragraph shall apply to all additional lots created through plats or subdivisions. It shall not apply to previously existing lots that develop or redevelop without requiring a replat or further subdivision. Subdivision 3 At the City option, the subdivider shall contribute an amount in cash, in lieu of all or a portion of the land required under subdivision 1, according to the following fee guidelines: Single Family Residential Townhomes/Duplexes/Condos Apartments Office/Industrial Property Commercial Subdivision 4 $1500 per dwelling unit $1500 per dwelling unit $1500 per dwellins unit 10% of current mazket value of the unimproved land as determined by the County Assessor 10% of current mazket value of the unimproved land as determined by the County Assessor Prior to the dedication of the required property, the subdivider shall provide the City with an acceptable title opinion or title insurance policy addressed to the City that insures the title and the City's proposed interest in the property. In any dedication of required land, the subdivider must transfer good and marketable title to the City, free and clear of any mortuases, liens, encumbrances or assessments, except easements or minor imperfections of title acceptable to the City. If this land is not formally dedicated to the City with the final plat, the subdivider shall record all deeds of conveyance of the property to the City at the same time as the final plat or other appropriate division documents. Subdivision ZZ At the City's option, the following properties shall not be accepted for purposes of the owner's compliance with Subdivisions 1 or 2 of this Resolution: a) Land dedicated or obtained as easements for storm water retention, drainage, roadway and other utility purposes. b) Land which is unusable or of limited use, and c) Land that is protected wetlands/floodplain area. Subdivision 6 Cash contributions for single-family residential development will be due and payable at the time of final plat approval by the City. Cash contributions for multi -family residential or commercial, office or industrial development will be due and payable at the time of final plat approval by the City, or at the option of the City, all or a portion of such. Payment may be deferred until building permits are issued at the option of the City. Cash contributions for single-family residential developments will be based on the number of new developable lots created and for multi -family residential developments will be based on the number of units included in the complex. Cash contributions for commercial, office and industrial developments will be based on the fair market value of the gross area created as a result of the development. Subdivision 7 Any cash contribution received pursuant to Subdivision 2 of this Section shall be placed in a separate City fund and used only for park, playground, trail or open space purposes.

Pout Hidden Creek Loucks Project No. 01753 Mendota Heights, Minnesota November 6, 2001 Letter of Intent History The original farmstead was historically acquired by the Grants. The Ridders initially acquired some of the site in the late 1940's. The property has been in its current configuration since the mid 1980's. The existing home south of the Ridder driveway on Dodd Road was the Grant home until recently purchased by Inheritable World LLC. The plat to the southwest of the property is Pine Creek Estates, which was recently developed with a flag Ior configuration on public sewer and water, The former Ridder parcel is part of the Somerset area, which is bounded by Dodd Road, Marie Avenue, Delaware Road and Wentworth Avenue. The Somerset Area Study was initiated by the city in 1993 and is referenced in text and exhibits. Development of Property Bill and Diana Makens, of Inheritable World LLC purchased the former Ridder property in May 2001. The intent of the project is to develop the property into an upscale large lot neighborhood while preserving the natural features that make it such a unique property. The former Ridder home may stay on the property or be removed. The farmstead house and out buildings will be removed. The former Grant house will be removed so the proposed street can be aligned with the existing Stanwich Lane on the east side of Dodd road. The development is currently being marketed, for loC sales. Grading, utility and street construction will commence in spring 2002, with home construction starting shortly thereafter. Existing Conditions Zoning The property falls under two zoning designations: R-1 One Family Residential District. Minimum lot area 15,000 s.f. R-IA One Family Residential District. Minimum lot size 40,000 s.f. The western third is R-L and the remain eastern portion is R-IA. Topography The existing property is comprised of 34 .04 acres of woods, wetlands and open spaces that surround the former Ridder home and farmstead and the Grant home. The property slopes generally from northeast to southwest and drops 72 feet from the Ridder home to the southwest corner of the property. The Ridder home sits on the highest point of the property and is surrounded by slopes that drop 30 to 40 feet. Vegetation The eastern two thirds of the property is heavily wooded with a mix of hardwood, softwood and coniferous trees, the western third is fairly open with mainly pasture and some trees. The significant trees on the site have been field located and are shown on the plans. There are several groupings of oak trees as well as other large poplar, elm, box elder and willow. Other wooded areas that are shown consist of scrub, volunteer trees and other less desirable species. The wetland areas of the site are primarily grasses. Wetlands / Drainage There are several prominent wetlands on the site, which are being preserved. The wetlands were field delineated by Kjolhaug Environmental Services and surveyed. The east side wetlands are mainly large grass swale areas that drain off the property. On the north edge of the property, east of the house, is a pond surrounded by woods. The northwest wetland is a small grass depression. The west wetland is a grass swale that goes along the driveway and turns south towards Pine Creek Estates. The northeast portion of the property drains north off the site then hooks to the west and south and enters back onto the property as Pine Creek along the northern border. Pine Creek then drains under the existing driveway and widens out into a grass swale area that drains off the property and under the common driveway in Pine Creek Estates. The east portion of the site drains to the southwest in a grass swale off the property; it then reenters the property and flows through the woods as Marie Creek and drains west. The two creeks converge near Dodd and Marie and continue under Dodd Road. Both Marie Creek and Pine Creek are intermittent; although, together they drain a large portion of the Somerset Area. Soi]s /Groundwater Braun Intertec evaluated the existing on site soils and groundwater in August 2001. They performed ten soil borings and installed piezometers in 4 borings to monitor the ground water levels over time. They found that the soils are generally clays and sands. The soils are suitable For development provided care is taken in grading and compaction of the soils. Vehicle Access There is a gravel driveway of off Dodd road that serves the farmstead and the former Ridder home, as well as the Moeller and Field homes via an access easement across the former Ridder property. The Grant home has a horseshoe drive off of Dodd Road. Utility Access Sanitary Sewer is available in Marie Avenue, Pine Creek Estates and Dodd Road. The Dodd road sewer is deep enough to serve the entire parcel. Watermain is available in Marie Avenue and Dodd Road. Storm sewer service is not scabbed to the property; the existing drainage is discharged into Pine Creek Estates via Pine Creek and Marie Creek. Pine creek goes under the Pine Creek Estates driveway through a 15-inch culvert Overhead electric power runs though the site to serve the Ridder parcel and adjacent parcels to the north. Proposed Conditions Preliminary Plat Layout and Design Many street and lot configurations have been considered for this development. Our intention is to preserve the existing beauty and natural features of the site while allowing the enjoyment of it by the homeowners. We have captured the essence of Hidden Creek: " The Elegant Experience of Nature" Zoning Lots The property will be developed entirely meeting the criteria of the Rl-A zoning. The minimum lot size of 40,000 s.f. will be met over the entire site. The preliminary plat consisting of 19 lots and 4 outlots. The lot sizes range from 43,043 s.f. to 218,406 s.f. with an average size of 63,386 s.f. If the minimum lot sizes were utilized per the existing zoning standards as many as 29 lots could be proposed. Variance Vehicle Access The proposed street off of Dodd Road will be directly aligned with Stanwich Lane, per MnDOT request. A street connection to Marie Avenue is also proposed to meet the city of Mendota Heights' requirements for cul-de-sac length and to provide a second means of access for emergency vehicles. Outlots are shown along each side of the road connections to be used as common space for landscaping and screening to be maintained by the Hidden Creek homeowners association. A 50 foot lot frontage variance is requested for the "flag" lot configuration on Lot 5 Block I (the former Ridder house). This is necessary due to the steep topography around the Ridder house. The rest of the development will be 20 to 40 feet below the Ridder house; so the "flag" lot allows for a longer driveway to make up grade to the Ridder house. It also provides a defined means of access for the Moeller and Field homes to the north across the same driveway. Common Driveway Access The existing common access easement for the Moeller and Field homes is across the existing driveway from Dodd Road. Their proposed access easement will be from the new public street in the development, so their access is improved by being closer to a public street. Wetland Permit A wetland permit is requested for filling and mitigation of a small portion of the wetlands for construction of the public roadways and for a driveway access to Lot 6, Block 2. All other wetland impacts have been avoided and these impacts noted above have been minimzed. The filled wetlands will be mitigated with on -site created wetlands at a 2:1 minimum ratio. A Wetland Conservation Act permit is being processed concurrently. Grading The site grading was design to best uti]ize the existing topography and preserve trees on site. The roadway and building pad areas are generally in fill areas in order to match into existing grades at the back of the house and preserve trees. The heavily wooded areas of the site will only have street and utility construction initially. The house pads in these areas will be constructed on an ndividual basis, because each house will be custom designed to fit the lot and preserve natural features. Storm Drainage Overview The site receives drainage from off site wetland systems that are concentrated into Pine creek and Marie Creek as they enter the site. The current storm water flow is essentially uncontrolled through the site. Flows during dry periods are minimal and flows during the spring thaw are the greatest. We are told there have been problems in the past with capacity of the downstream culverts and localized flooding. We are proposing to maintain this drainage through the site and help control it by utilizing erosion control, storm sewer, draintiles and pending. We will match or reduce the rate of the existing storm water flow off the site and will provide storm water treatment per city standards. Storm Sewer /Wetlands /Pending Pine Creek Pine Creek enters the north side of the site and flows under the existing driveway in a 24"cmp culvert, it will then be piped through the proposed street area and discharge into the lower reach of the wetland. Storm sewer will pick up the wetland drainage in the northwest comer of the site, the road and the wetland mitigation area, and then flow into the proposed pond at the southwest corner of the development. This pond will have a controlled outlet that discharges to the existing ditch, which then flows under the Pine Creek Estates driveway through a 15" culvert. Marie Creek Marie creek drains the wetlands on the east side of the site; it will reenter the site and cross the proposed road in a large culvert so as not to impede flow. This culvert and the street drainage will discharge into Marie Creek. This portion of the creek is the "Hidden Creek" in the woods, it has a 2 to 6 foot deep natural channel with a dirt and boulder bottom and sides. During high flows the creek channel eroded and carries sediment down stream. We are proposing to install field stone riprap ditch blocks to slow the water down and to protect the channel. A pond will be excavated on the south side of Marie Creek in the southwest comer of the site. A 30 to 50 strip of trees will remain along the property line. The creek channel and trees on both side of the creek will remain and the creek will flow into the pond before it leaves the site. Additional storm sewer from Che street will flow into the pond at this point. The pond will have a controlled outlet that discharges to the existing creek bed at the property line. Groundwater Several neighbors in regard to groundwater raised concerns. Several properties to the south and west of the site have experienced high ground water. It is our judgment that the construction of this development will not adversely affect the ground water levels. Grading and construction of storm sewer, draintile, sewer, water and homes all have a tendency to lower ground water levels and better handle and control the surface and subsurface drainage. Utilities Streets Watermain will be installed under all the streets and connected to the existing city system at Dodd Road and at Marie Avenue, Sanitary Sewer will be extended from Dodd Road through the east west road to serve all of the homes. This location was chosen over the Pine Creek Estates sewer stub because that connection would require large amounts of tree removal along the west border of the property and in Pine Creek Estates. MnDOT Permits will be required for the connections in Dodd Road The majority of streets will be installed per city standard with 33 foot face to face dimension with B618 curb and gutter. The cul-de-sac will have a 100 foot diameter island with 24' drive lanes. The entrances at Dodd and Marie will have a divided roadway with 17-foot face to face lanes and a 16-foot face to face islands. The island will have a mock "gate house" for aesthetic purposes and will also house the electric and water services and controls for the irrigation systems. Landscaping The site will be supplemented with landscape plantings, features, irrigation, fencing, street lighting, mailboxes and signage all with a unified theme to tie the development together and give an identity. Both entrances will have monument signs and mock "gate houses" that will be integrated into the overall landscape design. Covenants Restrictive covenants for the development have been drafted and are included for review. Builders /Lot Sales All the houses will be built exclusively by Cwo builders: Tom Mihm Custom Homes, who builds traditional style homes. Streeter Associates, who builds contemporary style homes. The lots, starting at $225,000 will be sold to the future homeowner and they will select one of the two builders. They will then work with the builder to custom design the house to fit their needs and the lot and tree configuration. Conclusion The proposed Hidden Creek development blends the best of a beautiful natural setting, innovative site design and spectacular custom home construction to create "The Elegant Experience of Nature".

City of.Mendota Heights Parks Recreation Commission November 8, 2001 Memo to: Parks and Recreation Commission From: Guy Kullander, Parks Project Manager J, t Subject: Replace Play Equipment in Valley and Friendly Hills Park Background: In the Parks Five Year (2001-2005) Capita/ Improvement Plan the old timber play structures in Valley Park and Friendly Hills Park are scheduled for replacement in 2002. The combined budget, established in June 2000, is $37,000.00 for equipment and installation. The Public Works Department will remove the old wood units as they did at Roger's Lake Park last summer thus saving the City approximately $1,500,00 which the play equipment installers would charge if they did the removals. Equipment Proposals: Attached are proposals from Flanagan Sales, Inc. (Little Tikes Play Systems- $40,422.46 plus_?_), Earl F. Anderson (Landscape Structures- $37,340.60) and St. Croix Recreation Company (Burke Company LLC- $57,244.34 plus _?_). Two additional manufactures were notified and sent catalogs, but no recommendations or proposals for updating the existing play areas. All were given the same information, but only Earl F. Anderson submitted a proposal that included cost breakdowns for equipment, installation and resilient surface materials (pea rock and/or "rubberized" surface material. In addition the plan for Valley Park submitted by Flanagan recommends the relocation of the existing tire swing that would require an additional cost of up to $1,500.00 for removal and reinstallation. None of the existing wood border areas need be removed or expanded, but if any deteriorated timbers are encountered they will be replaced on a time and material basis. I have contacted both Flanagan Sales and St. Croix Recreation requesting that they resubmit proposals that includes costs for all aspects of the proposed updates of the two parks play areas (equipment, surfacing material(s) and removal/re-installation, etc). Recommendations: I recommend that the commissioners visit the recently installed play equipment at both Roger's Lake Park (Landscape Structures) and Marie Park (Tiny Tikes) to note the quality of materials and methods of fastening the components together. I further recommend that the Commission select a preferred vendor to provide and install replacement play equipment in both parks next year. If the Commission makes a final recommendation to the City Council before the end of the year (last Council meeting is December 181h) and the Council directs that the project proceed, the 2001 prices quoted will be honored. After January 1" new pricing takes effect that is expected to increase by at least five percent (5%). Action Required: Review the attached proposals and select a vendor. If the Commission selects one of the two "over budget" vendors I will obtain revised equipment proposals and itemized cost breakdowns (within the established budgets) and submit then to the Commission for consideration at the December 1 1 th regular Park Commission meeting.
