PARKS AND RECREATION MINUTES
JANUARY 9, 1990
The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Park and
Recreation Commission was held on Tuesday, January 9, 1990,
in the City Hall Conference Room, 1101 Victoria Curve.
Chairman John Huber called the meeting to order at 7:00
o'clock P.M. The following members were present: Hunter,
Huber, Lundeen, Kleinglass and Damberg. Spicer and Katz were
excused. Staff members present were Administrative Assistant
Batchelder, Parks Project Manager Kullander and Park
Leadperson Terry Blum and City Administrator Tom Lawell.
APPROVAL OF Commissioner Damberg moved to approve the
MINUTES minutes of December 12, 1989.
Commissioner Kleinglass seconded the motion.
AYES: 5
NAYS: 0
INTRODUCTION OF Chairman Huber introduced and welcomed new
NEW MEMBER member Stephen Hunter to the Park and
Recreation Commission. He was welcomed
aboard by the members.
VERBAL UPDATE Administrative Assistant Batchelder stated
that the staff had met with Dick Putnam, Tom
Boyce and Kevin Clark, developers of the
Kensington Project. Batchelder stated that
they were interested in moving forward on
their PUD approval for their proposed project
and that if approval was granted the park
dedication would move forward. Batchelder
described the project and the 27 acre park
dedication that would be made.
Batchelder stated that the three developers
desired a meeting with the Park and
Recreation Commission in order to discuss the
PUD and its park issues. They had hoped for
a special meeting on the fifth Tuesday of the
month, January 30th. The Parks Commission
was unable to have a quorum for this date and
stated their intention to meet with the
developers at their regularly scheduled
meeting of February 13th.
Parks Project Manager, Guy Kullander, stated
that the City has received a draft agreement
from Independent School District 197
regarding the joint use of the Sibley site.
He stated that negotiations have begun in
earnest and that the major sticking points
are ironing out a maintenance agreement. The
Parks Commission inquired about who was on
the negotiating team for Independent School
District 197 and the City of Mendota Heights.
Administrative Assistant Batchelder responded
that ISD #197's negotiating team consisted of
James Nikolai, Bob Doffing, John Niemeyer,
Bruce Anderson and Lois Rockney. Batchelder
stated that the City of Mendota Heights'
January 9, 1990

expensive but we can afford it because this
is a short section. The Commission agreed
with him.
Parks Project Manager Kullander explained
that the bike trail scheduled for Victoria
Avenue was tight on land because of the
Highway right-of-way on one side the City
would only be able to build a trail on one
side. Because of this they are exploring the
possibility of a ten foot (101) wide
shoulder. Kullander stated that staff was
also exploring trail options through the
adjacent neighborhood to avoid the curve on
Victoria and the Highway fence. Kullander
stated this would be a temporary solution
because eventually Victoria Avenue will be
turned back to the City from the County. It
would then be eligible for M.S.A. money if
the City designates it as an M.S.A. street.
At this point M.S.A. funding would pay for a
trail. Kullander stated that this would
likely be five to ten years down the road.
Parks Project Manager Kullander stated that
there were no problems with the State of
Minnesota as far as the trail system went.
He stated that in one portion of the Valley
Park trail, the trail will go over State
right-of-way but this has been worked out
with the State. Kullander also stated that
when the Mendota Bridge interchange and
highway upgrade for Highway 55 is done that
highway funds will pay for most of the bike
trails at the bridge and at the interchange.
He stated that these extensions were
anticipated and included in the original city
wide trail system proposed inthe referendum.
Kullander stated that the benefit of this
link would be to hook up the trails in Eagan
to the Mendota Bridge and across to the
regional park facilities across the river.
Parks Leadperson Terry Blum was present to
discuss maintenance policies with the Parks
Commission. Blum explained how the shakes on
the pavilions will be replaced this summer
and that the warming houses will be
reshingled. Blum stated that the siding on
these structures is now wood and is scheduled
to be painted this summer. He stated that a
more neutral earth tone color would be the
best for the repainting. Blum stated that
all of these improvements are budgeted out of
the park maintenance budget. He stated that
City staff would be able to complete these
improvements because the new mower that was
budgeted for 1990 will free up park
maintenance time allowing them to take care
of the task of painting and reshingling the
structures in the parks.
January 9, 1990

to the bike trail system in Friendly Hills
Park would cost approximately $15,000.
Kullander stated that neither of these
improvements are included in referendum money
unless they came out of the contingency
funds. Kullander stated that both of these
items could come out of the proceeds from a
divestment of the tot lot.
Kullander stated that the following
improvements could be considered:
1. Picnic Shelter - $4,000 - $40,000
2. Improvement of Light Poles - $8,000 -
$101000
3. Comfort Station - $50,000 - $60,000
4. Several Small Picnic Areas -
Commissioner Lundeen moved to recommend to
the Council priorities for improvements to
Friendly Hills Park from the tot lot
proceeds with the following priorities:
1. Friendly Hills storm sewer improvements.
2. Trail system hookups.
3. Picnic facilities.
Commissioner Hunter seconded the motion.
AYES: 5
NAYS: 0
PLAY EQUIPMENT Parks Project Manager Kullander explained how
the City had received proposals from five
play equipment contractors. The Commission,
at their December 12, 1989, meeting, selected
Earl Anderson as their first choise and
directed Kullander to further negotiate their
proposal.
Parks Project Manager Kullander demonstrated
the features of the play equipment that Earl
Anderson Company was offering. Kullander
stated that Earl Anderson had improved their
original proposal by including one bench and
one trash receptacle at each park as part of
their proposal. He stated that we would
blacktop the entrance to the play equipment
area and locate the trash receptacle and the
bench there. Parks Project Manager Kullander
inquired if the Commission felt that more
benches or bike racks would be needed. He
stated that he felt these items could come
out of the contingency fund if they were
determined that they were needed after other
facilities were built. The Commission felt
that these items could wait until such point
as most of the facilities had been developed
and there was a better grip on how much
contingency money was available.

Company at their March meeting. They
requested that Earl Anderson Company be

Subject: Joint Workshop for Presentation on Kensington Park
DISCUSSION
Mr. Dick Putnam, Tandem Corporation, is representing Centex
Homes in their proposal for a Planned Unit Development (Kensington)
in the City's Southeast Area. Included in the Planned Unit
Development (PUD) is a park dedication from the developers to the
City. The purpose of this joint workshop is to allow the
developers an opportunity to present the plans for Kensington Park
to both Commissions for their review and consideration.
Mr. Putnam has made application for his PUD at the Planning
Commission's February 28, 1990 meeting. Because this Planned Unit
Development is a large and important project to the City of Mendota
Heights, Mr Putnam wishes to use every opportunity available to
discuss and review the items, including the park, with all the
commissioners.
Attached you will find a map of the park area and the
Kensington development as proposed in the sketch plan that was
approved by City Council last summer.
Staff has released Barton-Aschman to do some preliminary
review of Kensington Park in order to begin working with the
developer. Barry Warner, of Barton-Aschman will be present at the
meeting tonight to suggest alternatives and review Kensington Park
issues with the Parks Commission.
ACTION REQUIRED
There is no action required, this is an informational
presentation on parks issues at this point.

Subject: Friendly Hills Tot Lot
DISCUSSION
As the Parks and Recreation Commission will recall, the City
Council conducted a public hearing at their January 16th meeting
to consider the divestment of Friendly Hills Tot Lot. There was
considerable neighborhood opposition at the meeting and the Council
did not approve ordering staff to proceed with clearing title to
the land. (Please see attached minutes of the January 16th City
Council meeting.)
The City Council ordered this matter to return to the Parks
and Recreation Commission for their reconsideration. Also, staff
has received a request from Ms. Sylvia Nelson to appear before the
Parks and Recreation Commission to discuss this matter. (Please
see attached letter from Ms. Nelson.)
ACTION REQUIRED
Receive verbal. report from Commission Chair Huber and
reconsider the matter of the Friendly Hills Tot Lot.
Page No. 2704
January 16, 1990
She urged the Council to improve the tot lot
to accommodate toddlers and preschoolers,
leaving space for a basketball hoop and
creative play area. She informed Council that
the neighborhood wants the tot lots
refurbished.
It was noted that the Friendly Hills Park is
300 feet from the tot lot. Mayor Mertensotto
informed the audience that the Park Commission
is recommending that instead of improving the
tot lot, the property should be sold and the
proceeds should be used for tot equipment in
the Friendly Hills Park.
Mr. Huber showed the audience an exhibit on
the design layout for the Friendly Hills Park,
and pointed out that the proposed play
equipment is the modern and the safest
available.
Mrs. Nelson responded that the neighborhood
was led to believe that the tot lot was their
park, and it is hard for the neighbors to
accept something different.
The audience was informed that there is only
one other tot lot in the City, located in the
Curley Addition, and that the reason Council
agreed to the tot lot was that the area is so
far from the closest park, at Rogers Lake.
Mayor Mertensotto informed the audience that
the Commission is looking at overall economics
- maintenance is costly. He stated that had
the City been incorporated at the time the
Friendly Hills lst Addition was planned, the
tot lot would not have been approved.
Mrs. Joan Crisp, 2341 Apache, asked why
$10,000 from the referendum can't be put into
purchasing equipment for the tot lot. She
stated that when the referendum was proposed,
the neighborhood thought that the tot lot
would be the recipient of some of those funds.
Laurie Lastine, 2336 Apache, stated that her
parents mowed the tot lot area for many years
because the City did not. She stated that it
is important to the neighbors that the tot lot
be retained.
Lois Parsons, 2332 Apache, felt that the
Friendly Hills park serves a different
Page No. 2706
January 16, 1990
evening's discussion and see if there is an
alternate recommendation.
There was discussion over the level of
maintenance of the lots.
Councilmember Blesener moved that the matter
be referred back to the Park and Recreation
Commission for reconsideration of their
recommendation to Council.
Councilmember Hartmann seconded the motion.
Ayes: 4
Nays: 0
Staff was directed to contact Mrs. Crisp as
the neighborhood's representative, keeping her
informed on the matter.
PLAY STRUCTURES Council acknowledged and discussed a memo from
Administrative Assistant Batchelder regarding
the award of a contract for the installation
of play equipment in the six existing
neighborhood parks and in the Victoria
Highlands neighborhood park.
After discussion, Councilmember Anderson moved
adoption of Resolution No. 90-03, "A
RESOLUTION AWARDING PLAY EQUIPMENT CONTRACT
FOR NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS," awarding the contract
for installation of seven play structures to
Earl F. Anderson Associates at a price of
$17,500 per installation.
Councilmember Blesener seconded the motion.
Ayes: 4
Nays: 0
CASE NO. 89-25, FRYE Mayor Mertensotto opened the meeting for the
purpose of a public hearing on an application
from Mr. & Mrs. Richard Frye for a critical
area variance to allow construction of a two-
story indoor pool at 1845 Hunter Lane.
Council acknowledged a letter from Mr. & Mrs.
Frye requesting that the hearing be continued
to February 6th to allow them to develop new
plans and review their options. It was the
consensus that if new plans are submitted,
they should be reviewed by the Planning
Commission prior to Council consideration.
Councilmember Blesener moved to continue the
hearing to 7:45 o'clock P.M. on February 6th

Public
Hearing -
Friendly Hills Tot Lot
INTRODUCTION
At the November 7, 1989 City Council meeting, the City Council
ordered a public hearing be held with the residents of Friendly
Hills neighborhood in order to consider the divestment of the
Friendly Hills Tot Lot. At staffs recommendation, based on
liability and public health concerns, the play equipment at
Friendly Hills Tot Lot was removed in November 1989. The City has
previously considered divesting Friendly Hills Tot Lot in 1980 and
again in 1983.
Please see attached staff memos, minutes, maps, and letters
for an overview of this issue and its history.
DISCUSSION
The Parks and Recreation Commission's recommendation to remove
the tot lot from the City's park system was precipitated by the
recent, successful Parks Referendum. When the parks bond
referendum was designed by the Citizens Park Review Committee and
the Parks and Recreation Commission there were no funds provided
for improvements at Friendly Hills Tot Lot because it was
duplicative of the improvements proposed for Friendly Hills Park.
Friendly Hills Neighborhood Park will receive approximately
$20,000 worth of new play equipment. This play equipment will be
within 300 ft. of the existing tot lot. The Parks and Recreation
Commission feels the best use of the tot lot land is to divest it
and use the proceeds for further park improvements in Friendly
Hills Neighborhood Park.
General Observations about Tot Lots
In general, tot lots are not recommended to be included in
park systems for surburban communities because it is economically
inefficient to maintain them due to their small size. Tot lots are
used in instances where a community's lot sizes are too small to
include play equipment, such as a swingset, in a backyard. In
Mendota Heights the required minimum lot size is 15,000 sq. ft.
In Friendly Hills, where the lot sizes are substandard, the typical
lot size is 10,000 sq. ft. which is considered sufficient to
include play equipment for children.
ACTION REQUIRED
Conduct the public hearing. If City Council desires to
implement the Parks and Recreation Commission's recommendation of
October 24th and January 9th, it should direct staff to bring
action to clear title to Friendly Hills Tot Lot, sell the land and
authorize the funds to the Parks Fund to be spent according to the
recommended and prioritized expenditure items listed as:
1.
Friendly Hills Storm Sewer Improvements -
$15,000
2.
Bituminous Trails -
$15,000
3.
Picnic Shelter Pavilion -
$ 41000
- $40,000
4.
Light Poles for Ice Rink -

From: Kevin Batchelder, Administrative Assistant G'
Subject: Plans and Specifications for Hagstrom-King and Victoria
Highlands Parks
Barry Warner, of Barton-Aschman, will be in attendance to
present the almost finalized plans for the design of the two new
neighborhood parks, Victoria -Highland Park and Hagstrom-King Park.
The purpose of his presentation will be to review the plans for the
two parks in preparation of making the final drawings. If the
Parks Commission approves the plans, the final drawings would be
prepared in order to return to the March Parks Commission meeting
for a recommendation to the City Council. This recommendation
would request that Council advertise, open the bidding process and
receive bids based on the plans.
This will allow an early start on the construction of the two
parks and enable the work to be finished in the summer of 1990.
ACTION REQUIRED
Review the preliminary plans with Barry Warner and, if the
Commission so desires, they should pass a motion directing Barton-
Aschman to prepare the final plans and specifications for Victoria -
Highlands Park and Hagstrom-King Park. (Note: these plans would
be ready for the March 13th meeting)

MEMO

Subject: Schedule Neighborhood Parks Open House
Scheduling an open house to allow the public an opportunity
to review and comment on the plans for their neighborhood parks has
been discussed by the Parks and Recreation Commission, the City
Council and the Citizens Park Review Committee on numerous
occasions. Because of the contract bidding schedule and the
approaching construction season it is now time to schedule such an
open house.
The purpose of the open house would be to allow residents an
opportunity to review the plans and schematics of the park
improvements, trails and athletic fields that staff and consultants
have designed. The residents would then have an opportunity to
comment and make suggestions on the plans before they go out to bid
for construction.
Once the open house is scheduled, staff would advertise in
local newspapers and send press releases out announcing the open
house.
Staff recommends that the open house be scheduled for the last
week in February or the first week in March in order not to delay
the contract bidding schedule.
ACTION REQUIRED
Discuss the item and determine a date, time and place for
holding the open house.

Subject: After School Program
DISCUSSION
After meetings were conducted with City officials this fall
and winter, School District 197 has presented the City of Mendota
Heights and the City of West St. Paul with a proposal asking for
funding for an after school recreational program. (Please see
attached proposal from School District 197)
The proposal is for a pilot program that would run in the
spring and summer of 1990 and provide students with recreational
activities in afternoon and early evenings. The School District
is interested in any ideas the city may have on appropriate
activities for this program and in the city's interest in
sponsoring this type of program.
In the 1990 budget, the City reserved money in the Recreation
Contigency line item for just such recreational activities as this.
(Please see attached copy of 1990 Parks budget.) This item raises
the issue of the future of this line item. As more and more
recreational activities (such as T-ball, scheduling the use of
fields, etc.) come on the agenda the City must consider the future
sponsorship of these activities. This program is proposed on a
trial basis and the committment of funds to sponsor it could be
done contingent to its performance and a review of that
performance.
ACTION REQUIRED
Discuss the merits of this program, generate ideas on
recreational activities for the program and make a recommendation
to City Council about the use of the Recreational Contigency monies
to sponsor the After School Program.

Independent School District 197
Community Education
After School Program Proposal
Background: Over the past ten years the school district, City of Eagan, City of
Mendota Heights, and City of West St. Paul have individually and separately offered
programs to the students of I.S.D. 197 on a sporadic basis. These offerings enjoyed a
range of success depending upon the offering, the location and the ability of the
students to access the location. Currently there are a handful of programs being
offered during the school year and a few more being offered during the summer. A
major barrier to the after school programs is transportation between schools (parents
are often not home to transport the students until after 4:30 p.m.)
The parent organizations have begun to ask for more programs for youth. In
addition there is a consensus with school leaders that parents want activities for
youth. Many recreation programs have seen a tremendous rise in participation.
This is due in part to the rise in elementary age population (get info from Earl) and
part to changing parent expectation that their children should be involved in
activities so they will not become involved in less positive life styles.
This fall a series of meetings were called to discuss how we could meet the needs of
the community. Representatives of the school district, and city of Mendota Heights
and West St. Paul were in attendance. The following proposal is a result of these
meetings.
Proposal:
The goal of this
proposal
is to proaide a pilot after school program for
spring and
summer of 1990
to I.S.D.
197 students grades K-8.
The program would be run through the Community Education Department and be
cosponsored by the local Park and Recreation Departments. The sites for the
program would be Pilot Knob School, Mendota School and the Community Center
or Moreland School (depending upon the need for gym space). These sites would
correspond to the Extended Day sites and offer these students the chance to
participate in the programs.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
MEMO
February 8, 1990
To: Parks and Recreation Commissioners
From: Kevin Batchelder, Administrative Assistant 4 u
Subject: Kittenball Proposal
Staff has been approached by residents with an interest in
kittenball about running a program for summer of 1990. (Please see
attachments describing kittenball). Diane Ward, Public Works
Secretary, has offered to coordinate the program if the
advertisement generates enough interest for an eight team schedule.
The program would be run on a fee basis and would not need any City
money to operate. Diane's time would be covered by fees generated
by the participating teams.
The purpose of bringing this before the Parks and Recreation
Commission is for your endorsement to run the advertisement in
local newspapers. This would enable staff to determine if there
was enough interest to generate the teams who would support the
program through their entrance fees.
ACTION REQUIRED
If the Commission so desires, they should pass a motion
endorsing the concept of coordinating a kittenball league and
direct staff to advertise for and determine interest in a
kittenball league.
