Adjourn Page 1 June 14, 1988 CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS PARK & RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES JUNE 14, 1988 The regular meeting was held after a tour led by Dick Putnam of the south east area parks being developed. Members present were: Owens, Lachenmayer, Huber, Damberg, Leffert, and Katz. Stein was absent. Also present was City Administrator Frazell. MENDAKOTA Howard Bream and Ted Zinner of C.G. Rein ESTATES made a presentation of the proposed apartment complex and adjacent park land. They requested the Commission to make a recommendation to the City Council on the following: 1. Council request to move entrance to complex off Dodd, and onto Mendakota Drive. 2. Whether to turn 1.67 acre park land (adjacent to existing 9 acre city park) over to city or to retain and maintain the land privately. Commissioner Owens moved: that the Park Commission recommend to the City Council that the entrance remain directly on Dodd Road, rather than crossing through park land. Motion was seconded and discussed. Mr. Zinner cited traffic study which indicated approximately 742 trips daily and no major interference with traffic flow on Dodd. The motion was voted on and passed. The Commissioners discussed the pros and cons of accepting the additional 1.67 acres offered by the developers who state they intend to make all capital improvements but would then turn the land over to the city for future maintenance. Commissioner Owens felt the city would benefit by acquiring as much open space as possible and that the advantages outweigh the maintenance disadvantages and he moved: That the Parks Commission recommend that the city accept the 1.67 acre dedicated park Page 2 June 14, 1988 land to be added to the 9.1 acre present park land at Mendakota Estates. The motion was seconded and passed.

ADJOURN The meeting was adjourned at 9:00 P.M. Vicki Katz Recording Secretary CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO July 6, 1988 TO: Park and Recreation Commission FROM: James E. Danielson Public Works Director SUBJECT: Hockey Fences in Friendly Hills Park DISCUSSION: Last year Mend -Eagan (Bill Owens) desired to use Wentworth Park hockey rink as their main practice facility and requested that the City add a chain link fence at each end of the boards to help keep the pucks on the ice. The City granted their request. Things worked out well at the Wentworth rink, so this year they want to expand to the Friendly Hills Park. Last year's cost was $2,000, we contacted the Contractor that did that work and he reports that he will do the same thing at Friendly Hills this year for the same cost. His quote is attached. ACTION REQUIRED: Review the quote and decide whether to recommend that the City Council make the expenditure from the Park Fund. �� yv��T��Y�� v �� Y� �� o� M ��.�� a ti � �� June 22, 1988 City of Mendota Heights 750 South Plaza Drive Mendota Heights, MN 55120 Attention: Jerry Blum FENCE PROPOSAL FOR HOCKEY RINK Furnish and install: 4' - 9ga.
