Ponding Kensington, Mendakota and CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH 10, 1992 The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Parks and Recreation Commission was held on Tuesday, March 10, 1992, in the City Hall Large Conference Room, 1101 Victoria Curve. The meeting was called to order at 7:05 p.m.. The following members were present: Huber, Damberg, Lundeen, Kleinglass, Spicer and Hunter. Commissioner Katz was excused. Also present were Parks Project Manager Guy Kullander and Administrative Assistant Kevin Batchelder. AGENDA APPROVAL Chair John Huber requested that the original agenda be revised to reflect three add-on items, one, a request from ISD -197 for funding for the Summer Adventure Program, two, a request from St. Thomas Academy to reserve Friendly Hills and Rogers Lake tennis courts for the 1992 Boys Tennis season, and three, a request from Parks Superintendent Terry Blum to pave a strip along the north edge of the hockey rinks for better ice. Chair Huber also requested that the Park Dedication Consideration for Rottlund Homes be removed from the agenda for consideration at a later date. The Commission concurred with the agenda requests. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Commissioner Spicer moved approval of the February 11, 1992 minutes. Commissioner Lundeen seconded the motion. AYES: NAYS: KENSINGTON PARK Parks Project Manager Guy Kullander presented the final drawings of the Kensington Park buildings prepared by Station 19 Architects at the direction of the Parks Commission and the City Council. Kullander stated that the City would serve as the general contractor and would sub the work out to sub -contractors based upon bids that would be requested after Council approval of the final plans and specifications. Kullander stated that the City has saved approximately $10,000 per building using this process at both Sibley and Mendakota. Commissioner Hunter moved to recommend that City Council approve the final plans and specifications for the Kensington buildings and direct staff to advertise for bids. Commissioner Spicer seconded the motion. AYES: 6 NAYS: 0 GRASS SEEDING OR SOD Kullander inquired if the Commission would prefer to see Kensington Park sodded or seeded. Kullander stated that the sod would take faster thus enabling earlier use of the fields. Kullander stated sod would cost approximately $8,000 to $14,000 more than seeding the site. Commissioner Spicer stated that the City had always seeded the other parks. Commissioner Spicer moved to recommend that the fields be seeded for less cost. Commissioner Damberg seconded the motion. AYES: 6 NAYS: 0 TRAIL EXTENSION AYES: 6 NAYS: 0 PLAY EQUIPMENT Kullander inquired if the Commission desired to see the trail extension through the North Park be constructed this summer. Kullander stated the trail would be constructed along the east edge of the park so as not to affect any future plans for the use and development of .this area. The Commission inquired if there would be cost savings by doing the trail construction this summer. Kullander stated that the asphalt crews would be mobilized and have the equipment on site to do the trail. Kullander stated this would be towards the end of the summer, if it was to be done this year. Commissioner Spicer moved to recommend to City Council that the trail extension through the North Park be constructed this summer. Commissioner Lundeen seconded the motion. Kullander presented a preliminary proposal by Earl Anderson Company that designed a play equipment layout for Kensington Park. Kullander stated the proposal incorporated all the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. Kullander displayed the proposed events for people with disabilities. Kullander stated that' the budget for this play equipment was $20,000 and that the proposal provided would cost $25,000. Kullander stated that the City would have to bid the project, but that Earl Anderson had submitted a drawing based on their past work with the City. Commissioner Damberg inquired if this was an equivalent amount of play equipment compared to other parks. Kullander stated yes, and that if Earl Anderson equipment was chosen it has a 5 year guarantee for parts and installation. The Commission discussed the individual play events. Commissioner Spicer moved that the City Council authorize staff to advertise for bids for the Kensington Park play equipment at price not to exceed $20,000. Commissioner Damberg seconded the motion. AYES: 6 NAYS: 0 PARK AMENITIES - SIBLEY AND MENDAKOTA Kullander explained the proposal to address signage at Sibley and Mendakota Parks. Kullander stated that Sibley would need 1 informational sign on the building, 6 field identification signs for the backstops, 9 outfield distance signs, 4 no motorized vehicles signs, and one "Park Rules" sign. Kullander stated that Civic Center Park would need 1 field identification sign and 3 outfield distance signs. Kullander stated that Mendakota Park would need 1 building sign, 6 "no motorized vehicles" signs, 2 drop off zone signs, 2 Playground rules signs, 2 kiosk bulletin boards, 2 "Park Rules" signs, 2 kiosk park map/address signs, 12 outfield distance signs, 4 back to back field identification signs, 1 lights out policy sign, and 1 "rules" sign for the observation deck. Kullander estimated the cost of signs at $5,000 to $7,000, as budgeted in the referendum. Kullander inquired if the Commission preferred nicer sign posts for those signs needing posts in Mendakota AYES: 6 NAYS: 0 BLEACHERS AYES: 6 NAYS: 0 PICNIC TABLES Park. Kullander explained the options as metal highway posts, decorative wood posts, or rounded off metal posts. Kullander stated the wood posts would cost approximately $10 to $12 per post as compared to $5 for a metal post. Kullander stated the wood posts would be 4 by 4's treated to last at least 10 years. Commissioner Spicer moved that City Council approve the signs as proposed with the decorative wood posts to be used in Mendakota Park. Commissioner Damberg seconded the motion. Kullander described the proposal for bleachers at Sibley and Mendakota Park. Kullander stated that Mendakota Park would need 8 sets of bleachers, each with three rows and 21 feet long that would seat 42 people. Kullander stated that at $800 per unit, the cost would be $6,400. Kullander described a larger unit for Sibley that would have 5 rows and be 21 feet in length to seat 70 people. Kullander stated Sibley would need 3 or 4 and that the estimated cost was $9,600 for four units plus $500 for the portability unit. Commissioner Spicer moved to recommend that City Council approve the bleachers as proposed for $6,400 at Mendakota Park and not to exceed $10,000 at Sibley Park. Kullander stated that Terry Blum, Parks Superintendent needed to purchase 10 six foot picnic tables for the park system and that this would be included in the bid for Mendakota picnic tables to achieve a lower per unit price. Kullander stated that this would be paid for out of Park maintenance money, but that the 18 tables for Mendakota Park would be paid for by the referendum. Kullander described the tables proposed for Mendakota Park as heavier eight foot long tables. He stated that the tables would be :located as follows: six in the observation deck, eight in the picnic shelter and four on the concrete picnic pads adjacent to the shelter and play area. Commissioner Hunter left the meeting at 7:45 o'clock p.m. for another meeting. The Commission discussed a more expensive table made out of redwood and decided that the regular pine tables would be appropriate. Commissioner Spicer moved to recommend that City Council approve the purchase of picnic tables as proposed, 10 six foot tables and 18 eight foot tables. Commissioner Damberg seconded the motion. AYES: 5 NAYS: 0 PAVING STRIP IN ICE RINKS Kullander stated that Terry Blum had requested that an eight foot strip of asphalt be placed along the north side of the ice rinks and painted white to alleviate the effect of the sun on the ice and the ground's ability to frost. Kullander stated that the park crews have a hard time maintaining ice along the north edge of the rinks. Chair Huber stated this did not appear to be cost efficient. The Commission directed staff to explore all the options to address this problem. Maintenance of the light poles at the hockey rinks was discussed and staff was directed to get estimates for their replacement. GRAND OPENING OF MENDAKOTA PARK Administrative Assistant Kevin Batchelder stated that a grand opening ceremony for Mendakota Park has been discussed among various city officials. Batchelder stated that this park is considered the "flagship or center piece" of the park system and it might be appropriate to honor this park as a symbol of the successful referendum. Batchelder stated as such that he felt this should be a community event planned by members of the community and that he was asking for volunteers to help plan, organize and staff the event, if it was felt to be a good idea. Commissioners Spicer and Damberg volunteered to be on the Planning Committee and Commissioners Huber and Kleinglass volunteered to help staff the event. Batchelder stated he would be recruiting other volunteers and would be in VERBAL UPDATES ADJOURN touch to begin planning for the event. Batchelder stated that the City staff was still receiving advice and proposals from vendors regarding the possible Wildflowers Along Trailways project. Batchelder described the progress of the Ivy Falls Storm Sewer project and its possible impact on the pond in Ivy Falls Park. Batchelder stated an updated parks inventory would be mailed to the Commissioners. There being no further business the Commission adjourned at 8:10 o'clock p.m. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO April 8, 1992 To: Parks and Recreation Commission From: Kevin Batchelder, Administrative Assist 6.4) Subject: Rottlund Homes Winterwood PUD Proposal Consideration of Park Dedication DISCUSSION Subdivision proposals that come before the City are reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Commission for a recommendation to the City Council on the proposed park dedication that accompanies the subdivision. I have attached a copy of the Subdivision Ordinance 301, Section 6 that discusses park dedications and a copy of Resolution No. 91-94 which was recently adopted by City Council as policy on cash dedications for parks. Rottlund Homes is proposing a 68 unit townhouse project on 10.63 acres at the corner of Mendota Heights Road and Dodd Road as a Planned Unit Development. Attached are maps that show the site plan, the grading plan, the landscape plan, the tree survey, building elevations, and building floor plans. Also enclosed is the Planners Report prepared by Tim Malloy, of Dahlgren, Shardlow and Uban, that discusses the proposal. The Winterwood proposal has appeared at the February 25th and March 24th Planning Commission meetings and at the April 7th City Council meeting. The City Council referred the proposal to the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting for a recommendation on the park dedication proposal. At these meetings, open space has been expressed as a concern by City officials. Rottlund Homes is proposing a cash dedication for this PUD instead of a park land dedication. A cash dedication would fund the Special Parks Fund. For this project the cash dedication required would be as follows: (68 units) x $750 = $51,000 The Parks and Recreation Commission should decide if a cash dedication is the appropriate park dedication for this parcel of land and make a recommendation to City Council. The Planner's Report discusses the park dedication in the Miscellaneous section of the report. ACTION REQUIRED Discuss the proposed cash dedication for the Winterwood PUD project and make a recommendation to City Council.

Mendota Heights Road and Dodd Road Rezoning to HRIPUD, CUP for PUD, Sketch Plan Approval The subject property is located in the southeast quadrant of Mendota Heights Road and Dodd Road. This property is within the region known as the Southeast Area. This area was the subject of an extensive planning study that was conducted in 1985. As a result of this study, the Land Use Guide Plan for the area was amended in 1989. The subject property was previously guided for low density residential use. The current plan designates the property as HR/PUD. This district is intended for multi -family residential use at a density of eight units per acre or less. The area has not been rezoned in accordance with the plan. The intent was to allow the property to remain in the R-1 Zoning District until it was ready to be developed. In the years since the Southeast Area Study was completed, the owner of this property has twice submitted applications requesting that the land use designation for the property be amended to allow a convenience commercial development on the site. On both occasions, the Applicant's request was denied. The most recent of these requests was in October 1990. The Applicant now proposes to rezone the bulk of the property in accordance with the Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan and develop it for multi -family housing. A small parcel (.94 acres) at the corner of Mendota Heights Road and Dodd Road is being excluded from the proposed multi family project and is intended to be developed at a later date for a different use not yet defined. The Applicant (The Rottland Company, Inc.) proposes to develop the property as a planned unit development consistent with the intent of the Guide Plan for this area. While the total area of the site does not meet the 10 -acre minimum generally required for PUD projects, Section 13.1(1) of the Mendota Heights Zoning Ordinance allows this requirement to be waived in areas designated for PUD zoning(Southeast Area). All properties within the southeast area are intended to be processed as planned unit developments under Section 13 in the Zoning Ordinance. Section 13.2(4) states that the submission requirements and approval process shall be the same as that required for PUDs under Section 22. PUD Criteria Section 22 in the Ordinance lists the criteria for considering a planned unit development. The first three of these criteria deal with the general issues surrounding whether the proposed project is • Rottlund, Inc., Case No. 92-02 Page 2 consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the surrounding neighborhood and natural conditions. As stated earlier, the property is designated for multi -family residential use on the current Land Use Guide Plan. The properties adjacent to the subject property to the north and east are developed or are being developed for single-family use. The south side of the site is bounded by the entrance and exit ramps for I-494. The proposed development will serve as a transition between the freeway and single-family residential area. The area west of Dodd Road is intended to eventually be developed for office use according to the current Guide Plan. The primary issue in this area is the compatibility with the adjacent single-family uses to the north and east. Generally, the concerns here are related to traffic impacts, aesthetics and the effect on property values. Traffic One of the issues that came up when the property was being considered for commercial development was traffic. A traffic impact study was prepared in association with the commercial project. That study concluded that the existing roadway system would be adequate to handle the traffic generated by the commercial development. The previously proposed commercial development was projected to generate approximately 2,240 inbound and 2,240 outbound trips per day. The current multi family project is anticipated to generate only 476 trips per day. Clearly traffic is not an issue in this case, particularly since there is no concern for traffic moving through the surrounding single-family developments as the roadways serving these developments are not through -streets. Architectural Appearance The housing type proposed for the subject property are known as back -to -backs. This two-story unit is similar to a quad home except there are more units in each building. While there are some drawbacks to this housing type, the particular design proposed for this site has several features that make it relatively compatible for use adjacent to a single-family residential area. The principal concerns regarding this type of unit is that it appears more massive than many other types of medium density housing, and the interior units have only one side that is exposed to the outside. The eight -unit building is approximately 140 feet long while the twelve -unit building is 200 feet long. Fortunately there is only one twelve -unit building and it is located at the rear of the site adjacent to the freeway ramps. In order to make these units appear to fit in with the surrounding low density residential area, the designer has broken the mass of the structure up by staggering the roof line and stepping the building mass down from the center outward. This creates a much more interesting building especially when viewed from the end as shown in the elevations on Sheet 7 of the Applicant's drawings. In addition, the front facade and roof are interrupted by dormers and chimney stacks helping to play down the amount of roof area. The concerns related to adequate light and exposure for the interior units have also been addressed in the design of the proposed buildings. The entry area for each unit is significantly recessed to allow more window space in the front. The interior of the unit is also open to the ceiling in the front to allow light from skylights to penetrate the space. Also, the windows in the dormers allow in additional light. The exterior of the building is done in lap siding with some brick used in the front. Details have been added, such as the fence around the entry patio and the arched form over some of the doors and windows. The arrangement of the buildings on the site also helps improve the appearance of the development from Mendota Heights Road and the residential area to the north. Some of the buildings are oriented with their ends facing the road, while others are situated at an angle. Only one building faces Mendota Heights Road and that one is set back over 220 feet and has a large landscaped area in front of it. • Rottlund, Inc., Case No. 92-02 Page 3 Landscaping A significant amount of landscaping is proposed for the site as part of the project, which is indicated on the landscape plan. Generally, the proposed landscaping meets the requirements of the recently revised landscape standards in the Ordinance. The size of the trees and shrubs indicated on the plans meet or exceed those required. The selected species, spacing of plants and plant massings are all acceptable. There are four small parking areas along the south side of Mendota Heights Road, which should be screened with additional shrubs. The retention pond in the northeast corner of the site could also be planted in more of a park -like manner. This depression does not need to be delineated and trees could be planted in the low area as long as they are species that can tolerate intermittent wet conditions. While the plant species and massing are generally acceptable, the overall scheme of the plantings is somewhat random. The appearance of the landscaping would be stronger if areas were planted with clusters of a single species. The site improvements also include landscaped berms along Mendota Heights Road and adjacent to the freeway ramps. The berms adjacent to the freeway ramps behind the three units on the east end of the property are very small due to the close proximity of the access drives for these units. These berms are intended to help attenuate the noise associated with the accelerating and decelerating traffic on the ramps. One factor that reduces the needed height for these berms is that the ramps are depressed 12 to 16 feet below the elevation of the subject property. However, the berm adjacent to the twelve unit building in the southeast corner of the site offers little screening or noise attenuation for that structure. Bulk Regulations The proposed project meets or exceeds all of the density, setback and building spacing requirements in the R-3 district. There are no height limitations in this district. The density of the project (7.1 units/acre) is within the eight units/acre identified in the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed density also satisfies the minimum lot area standard in the R-3 District as required by Section 13.2(2). Parking The parking provided for the project exceeds the minimum requirements in the Ordinance. Section 12.5(1) requires 2.5 parking spaces per unit of which one must be enclosed. This translates to 170 stalls for the 68 units proposed. The project would provide 197 spaces, if we assume one parking space in the driveway of each unit (the developer assumed one space in front of each garage). The project also meets the 40 -foot minimum setback to parking wherever parking is adjacent to a public street. Also, the proposed driveway width of 24 feet is consistent with the Ordinance requirement. One issue related to the on site circulation is the fact that some of the end units are located on very long access drives. This is due to the shape of the property and the desire to avoid orienting all of the buildings with the ends facing Mendota Heights Road. The longest of these drives, as measured from the cul-de-sac, is roughly 400 feet. If we include the length of the cul-de-sac, these units are 660 feet from the public street. We would suggest that the City's fire chief review the site plans to ensure adequate access for emergency vehicles. Utilities The City's engineering staff has reviewed the drawings for the proposed project and has determined that the existing utility mains in the area are adequate to serve the development. The Applicant will have to petition the City to extend those utilities to serve the site. ' Rottlund, Inc., Case No. 92-02 Page 4 The developer has worked with the City and removed four units from their original plans to accommodate the storm retention pond found in the northeast corner of the site. This pond has been adequately sized. Miscellaneous The City has no plans for a park in the areaof the subject property, therefore, a cash dedication fee will have to be established. This fee is typically calculated at $750 per unit. The drawings and other materials provided by the applicant meet the requirements for submission for subdivision with the exception of a soil survey. Section 4.1(2)g of the Subdivision Ordinance requires a soil survey as part of the preliminary plat process. This information should be provided prior to the approval of the preliminary plat. A tree survey is also required for the preliminary plat review, however, since there are no trees on this portion of the property this requirement can be waived. Action The Planning Commission should conduct a public hearing and consider the criteria for rezoning, conditional use permit for a planned unit development and the sketch plan criteria for subdivision through the PUD process. rA r C NSP H I G H WAY MENOAKOTA GOLF COURSE a COUNTRY CLUB ( PRIVATE ) • .11114 A 0- 0. 3Piiallj'S-1-4"9Y Mill '141111111M 111 mil rcii 4:l*. \'/4Y1 T _ DODGE 0 0 C4 7,-1g ye lamioiv'�P�'swiLpi !----11-----,o11111M0000eaa►Y' nsiee!eeseeeeeeeeeer.�', y_ .

The Arndt family is proposing to subdivide a 5.32 acre parcel into 13 single family lots, including the existing home, between Butler Avenue, Kirchner Avenue and London Road. Attached are maps that show the preliminary plat and its description, the general neighborhood and Ivy Park which is adjacent to the site. The Arndt family is proposing a cash dedication for this subdivision as opposed to a park land dedication. A cash dedication would fund the Special Parks Fund. This proposed subdivision is creating 12 new lots and the cash dedication required would be as follows: (12 new lots) x $750 = $9,000 The Commission should note the proximity of Ivy Park which is adjacent to this proposed subdivision. Lot 4, Block 1 would create a building pad for a single family home that could be within 30 to 40 feet of the parking lot by the tennis courts. ACTION REQUIRED The Parks and Recreation Commission should decide if a cash dedication is the appropriate park dedication for this proposed subdivision and make a recommendation to City Council. 1 ,0 3> 3> 034 A • 1 CD 11/ CD CD 04. 04 04 Os I ,rt 03 4-+ 0 -Q '01- -"Y • -• ID tn.

To construct this trail a small portion of easement was needed from Mr. Tom Curley. At that time, Mr. Curley agreed to sign a License with the City to allow us to use the land at no charge (see attached license agreement). As part of the license Mr. Curley included a clause that would allow for him to terminate the license anytime upon 30 days written notice to the City. Mr. Curley has now submitted that written notice (see attached) . The attached April 1, 1992 memo was considered by City Council on April 7, 1992. City Council chose Option #2 which will remove the trail and replace it with an extension down Lexington Avenue to Tom Thumb. They directed the Parks and Recreation Commission to consider whether to replace this trail now or to wait until MnDOT upgrades the Lexington Avenue/Trunk Highway 110 intersection. The trail, if constructed now, would cost approximately $14,000. If the trail is constructed as part of the MnDOT improvement project Dakota County would share the cost and the City's portion of the costs would be funded by Municipal State Aid (MSA) funds. The MnDOT construction would occur as part of Phase II of the highway project and would be completed sometime in the 1993/1994 time frame. ACTION REQUIRED Consider whether to construct the Lexington trail replacement now at a cost of $14,000, or to wait a year, possibly two, and construct the replacement section of trail as part of the MnDOT project for Lexington Avenue/Highway 110. Make a recommendation to City Council based upon the desired alternative. ,p/IN�UT CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS TO: Mayor, City Council and City Ad MEMO FROM: James E Dani Public Wor SUBJECT: Curley. Trail DISCUSSION: April 1, 1992 In 1985 the City constructed a "backbone" trail. down Lexington Avenue. (see attached map). To construct this trail a small portion of easement was needed from Mr. Tom Curley. At that time Mr. Curley agreed to sign a License with the City to allow us to use the land at no charge (see attached). As part of the license Mr. Curley included a clause that would allow for him to terminate the license anytime upon 30 days written notice to the City. Mr. Curley has now submitted that written notice (see attached). The only location a replacement trail could be installed for this segment would be along Lexington Avenue to Tom Thumb Blvd. This trail, if constructed immediately, is estimated to cost $14,000. The ideal time to construct a replacement trail would be in conjunction with the upgrading of the Lexington Avenue/Trunk Highway 110 intersection. Mn/DOT would do this construction within their Mendota Interchange project and the costs would be shared with Dakota County. Mendota Heights' share would then be funded by MSA. This Mn/DOT construction would be Phase II work would and be completed sometime in 1993/94 time frame. I called Tim Curley to see if he would be willing to delay removing the City's trail from his property until we could construct a replacement one with the Mn/DOT work. He said no, but that he would be willing to negotiate with the City if we would consider granting some variances. He desires to have the City allow development of all his residential lots along Mary Adele Avenue in exchange for allowing the trail extension to remain. Five of the nine single family lots that he owns along Mary Adele do not meet the City's 70% rule for area (10,200 vs 10,500 SF) and will need to be either combined and enlarged or granted variances before they are developed. Note: Existing platted single family lots are allowed to be developed without a variance if they meet 70% of todays ordinance requirements. OPTIONS: Do nothing, leave the trail in place in violation of the license agreement and remove it after the Mn/DOT construction (This option could expose the City to legal liability). 2. Remove the trail now and construct a replacement trail along Lexington with park funds or leave no trail connection until after the Mn/DOT construction (people will no doubt continue to walk through the Curley lots). 3. Agree to favorably consider Mr. Curley's variances for his substandard lots along Mary Adele (he would still need to make application and go through the process). 4. Condemn an easement in order to allow the existing trail t,O remain; (this -could be a fairly costly option).

"THE FIRST OF THESE PURPOSES IS THE MOST WIDELY ACCEPTED. ALL TYPES OF PEOPLE IN ALL AGE BRACKETS HAVE THEIR INDIVIDUAL DEMANDS." "... TODDLERS AND SMALL CHILDREN - THE BACKYARD AND THE ELEMENTARY AND NEIGHBORHOOD PARR." "... YOUNG ADULTS REQUIRE LARGER PARKS FOR SPECIALIZED FACILITIES" "... ADULTS AND SENIOR CITIZENS ARE MORE DIVERSE WITH BOTH ORGANIZED AND UNORGANIZED USES IN SMALL OR LARGE SPACES." FINALLY, MANY PEOPLE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT A PARR WHICH HAS NOT BEEN IMPROVED, BUT IS INTENDED FOR PASSIVE USE IN ITS NATURAL SETTING." IF WE APPLY THE NATIONAL STANDARD OF 1,000 SQUARE FEET OF PARK LAND PER PERSON, THERE SHOULD BE 364 ACRES OF PARK LAND FOR CITY PURPOSES. (BASED ON A BUILDOUT POPULATION ESTIMATED AT 14,590) IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE NATIONAL STANDARD AND THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL STANDARDS DO NOT DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN PARK LAND WHICH IS USEABLE FOR ACTIVE ATHLETIC FACILITIES VERSUS PARR. LAND WHICH MAY BE STEEP SLOPED, WETLANDS, OR USEABLE ONLY FOR PASSIVE RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES. 1985 BARTON-ASHMAN GOAL STATEMENT THE OVERALL GOAL FOR PARK AND RECREATION PLANNING SHOULD BE TO PROVIDE AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF RECREATION SPACE, TO OFFER AN AMPLE CHOICE AMONG RECREATIONAL FACILITIES, AND TO ASSURE PEOPLE THAT THE QUALITY OF FACILITIES WILL MATCH THEIR DESIRES AND STANDARDS OF LIVING. 1. To provide a variety of facilities for both active and passive recreation. 2. To provide a park system to serve all community residents, regardless of age, sex or economic group. 3. To use the park system as a means to enhance the environment of each neighborhood and the city as a whole. 1985 BARTON-ASHMAN FACILITIES STANDARDS ESTIMATED ULTIMATE NEEDS, BASED UPON A POPULATION OF 14,000 Facility Needs Tennis Courts 8 courts Multi -Use Hard Surface 8 courts Standard 1/City plus 1/2,000 people 1/City plus 1/2,000 people 1/park Softball fields 8 fields 1/City plus 1/2,000 people Baseball fields 3 fields 1/City plus 1/6,000 people Soccer 5 fields 1/City plus 1/3,500 people Hockey 6 areas I/City plus 1/3,000 ipeople Free Skating 6 areas 1/City plus 1 per 1/2 mile radius SOCCER FIELDS SOFTBALL FIELDS BASEBALL FIELDS 1989 CITIZENS PARK REVIEW COMMITTEE FACILITIES RECOMMENDATIONS 2 FULL SIZE (240' BY 300') 1 LARGE (300' BY 390') ENLARGE 3 EXISTING 6 FULL SIZE UPGRADE EXISTING 7 FIELDS LIGHT TW FIELDS 1 FULL SIZE UPGRADE CITY HALL 'H ttG aA. lic..7100D bas Eal...71.-5 Jadd J.

ACTION REQUIRED If the Commission decides that renting advertising space on ball field fences is desirable, they should direct staff to acquire information from other Cities that allow this use, determine estimates of revenue potential and report back to the Commission.
