Council Meeting. Motion carried, five ayes.
Richard O'Fallon, Plymouth representative to the Bassett Creek
Flood Control Commission, appeared before the Council explaining
that it is proposed that the public coordination requirements of
the Phase II study be met by the creation of nine separate citizen
advisory commissions, one in each member community. Mr. O'Fallon
indicated the first meeting would he a public hearing with proper
notices in the newspaper and notices also being sent to a list of
public minded citizens. Depending on the outcome of this first
meeting, either a citizens committee would be formed or the matter
would be continued on a heariny basis similar to the first meeting.
It 1s anticipated f;)ur meetings will be required in Plymouth. The
Council expressed sme concern over the actual authority of this
citizen advisory commission. Mr. O'Fallon assured the Council
they would be acting only as advisors to the local Bessett Creek
representative. The Council indicated its approval and support
of the proposal adding that the two County Commissioners represent-
ing Plymouth should be added to the mailing list. 'The date for the

Councilman Hunt stated his concern was for the man who purchased 'a home which provided
in the purchase price a neighborhood park built by the developer, Not only would he pay
1n part for his own park but a portion of his money was also put into the park dedication
fund, one-quarter of which under this proposed allocation system would go towards build-
ing somebody else's neighborhood park. He stated he felt it is the best possible
method of meeting neighborhood park requirements to have the developer put them in but
that in such cases the developer's contribution to the park dedication fund should be
something like 2/3 to the central park and 1/3 to the regional park and nothing to the
neighborhood parks. Mayor Hilde stated he was concerned that we account for the funds
properly and suggested that three separate funds be established for the three categories.
In terms of neighborhood or regional parks, Councilman Neils suggested that some con-
sideration be given along the lines' of re -investing that portion of the dedication fv4ds
in the general area of the Village From where it came. When we approach saturation de-
velopment in a portion of the Village, the need for parks and park development becomes
more severe in that area because there is iEss open space left. Councilman Seibold
stated he felt this formula would work out fine if every neigaborhood was developed
with planned unit developments but that is not the case. You may have five or six de-
velopers in one neighborhood. If one developer provides a park in his development and
you say these people have paid for their neighborhood park, what happens co those people
who are still s part of that neighborhood but are without a park. Councilman Spaeth
stated it was his opinion in areas that have already developed we must use ad valorem
taxes to develop weighborhood parks to bring these areas into line with the over-all
Village plan. Mayor Hilde pointed out that the only, other place you get park develop-
ment money is from a bond issue. He stated he assumes the highest degree of ad valorem
participation will have to come from the central and regional parks because they will
cost more to develop, All three categories, however, will need ad valorem help,
if
this is true, he questioned whether it is so important to go to great detail in terms
of exactly where the money in each of the last two categories is obtained because what-
ever is not spent there is going to be made up by the public at large anyway.
Councilman Neils stAted he suspects the largest amounts of dedication will come from
developers cf high density complexes where a specific load is being placed on a limited
neighborhood area, He stated his concern 'a that this money will be used to develop
neighborhood parks in another area of the A llage and that the area that generated the
heavy load of people and the money will gn aithout a park.
Councilman Hunt stated he felt one of our g- ez%test tools in meeting the requirements in
the last two categories is to let as much h;4%p n as possible in new developments,
specifically in high density areas, He state& ;,e felt that the 25% credit formula will
not encourage this, Councilman Sraeth agra%d and pointed out that neighborhood parks
are built in areas of heavy saturation, therefore, these people should pay this through
ad valorem, He further stated that in cases where a developer provides amenities with-
in their own development which are specifically for the use of the residents of that
development, that developer should also be given some credit because he has helped to
alleviate a portion of the burden on the Village for park facilities for these people,
It was suggested that developers be given up to 76% credit against the amount required
for park dedication for whatever he dots in providing parks assuring these parks are
public parks. Some credit for any parks that he builds that are strictly for the de-
velopment should also be provided, up to 25%.
Mayor Hilde pointed out that encouraging developers to provide their own park areas
actually makes money for the Village in two areas. The developer can probably make
these improvements at less cost than the Village, and the Village also benefits because
ho is not given full credit for these improvements, Councilman Hunt pointed out that
the oumber of years you have to maintain a facility is also a factor and that there

should be different treatment given in those'cases where the homeowners will, do the main-
tenance. The Manager indicated he felt a formula could be worked out oiong the lines of
the foregoing discussion, however pointed out that our dedication policy applies to value
of Lind rather than value of improvements. He stated he felt it is possible that develop-
ers will spend substantially more on a private Nark than we could ever gat from him in
cash because it is going to help sell his property. The only negative aspect of this is
that you will have to use,ad valorem taxes in other areas and this might raise the argu-
ment from people in developments which provided their own parks that they have already
paid their share.
Councilman Neils stated he had three points he wished to make: (1) He stated he would be
reluctant to see the village completely reorganize our policies on the basis of favorable
experience with a few developers because all developers are not alike. From previous
experience the general tendency has been f•-ir the developer to consider anything along the
lines of dedicating land for parks or making any investment in that park area as nothing
but a nuisance. (2) At some point the park type improvements made by a; developer exceeds
those improvements we would require for a neighborhood park. At that point It is a
matter between private parties and no longer a Village concern. It must be determined
what is a public necessity and what is a luxury for a given private development in terms
of parks. (3) There is some room for consideration as to a different method of applying
whatever credit is allowed so that a minimum amount of credit is given for the initial
increment within a development and a progressive amourt of credit for further improve-
ments to encourage the latter.
MOTION was made by Mayor Hilde, seconded by Councilman Spaeth, directing the staff to
develop a resolution by the next meeting which will constitute direction to the staff and
Park, Commission which will ask them to develop a recoa:.iended policy for us that would deal
with'how we derive dedication funds and the calculation of credits from developers and
that it be divided into two parts: (1) Public Parks -- that we consider allowing develop-
ers a percentage credit of whatever value of contribution to the park system regardless of
the type of nark that 1t is. (2) Private Parks -- that we consider the issue of should we
grant any type of credit whatsoever for private parks ghat are built by the developer.
Councilman Hunt added that the Park Coninission should also define what amenities are
applicable to this policy. Motion carried, three ayes, with Councilmen Neils and Seibold
voting nAv.
The staff had prepared a proposed resolutinn sitting forth the 50/25/25 percent appropria-
tion of funds as recommended by the Park Commission.
MOTION was made by Councilman Neils, econd d by Councilman Spaeth, to adopt the Resolution
for the appropriation of park dedication funds as proposed in the staff report dated
April 20, 1973.
MOTION was made by Mayor Hilde, s conded by Councilman Neils, to amend the k.solution by
adding a paragraph 06: "The Manager shall set up accurate fin;4ncial records for trans-
actions within the atove three categeries o)f acccunts." Mution carried, five ayes.
MOTION was .Wade by Councilman Seibold, seconoed by Councilman Hurt, to furtUr amend the
Resolution by changi nq the word ng i r, the third paragroph to redo " . . that the V111 aqe
Manager operate with6 the following guide lines in making recommendations to the

Park Director Roger Burton reported on the sta10 s of the park im- 1973 PARK IMPROVEMENTS
provements previously approved by the Council and presented pro-
posed park improvements for East and West Medicine Lake Parks ani
a portion of the '.rail system around the Workhouse property.
East Medicine Lake Park
Mr. Burton explained there are three items in the improvement play, that are compulsory: (1)
the agreement with Ryerson to install a il foot high chain link fence; (2) the 9 ton street
access for Ryerson; and (3) the widenin; of 18th Avenue to handle traffic dive rt4d by the
closing of a portion of East Medicine Lake Boulevard. Councilman Spaeth brougo t lip the
point that about 7 years ago there was an agreement with Ryerson which called for them to
install a fence, and the staff was requested to check this out. The matter of up -grading
18th Avenue was discussed, and it was agreed that up -grading this road would only en-
courage more traffic through there. With 25th Avenue and 13th Avenue both beinq local
thoroughfares, it was not felt this improvement was necessary.
The Council felt the amount of parking shown on the south side if thv. park was not ade-
quate, and after further study of the matter decided that the parking area should tie moved
further to the south to preserve more recreational area and to also allow for more park-
ing area.
Mr. Thomsen stated he would like to do away with the boat launching site on the east side
of the lake, The Councii agreed that it is not a good idea to have boat launching this
close to swimming areas and that there are probably better areas to the northeast that
can be used for this purpose. It was felt that we have too little land to allocate to
the laur ching of boats and the parking of trailers.
Following
amend the
this discussion of the improvement plans, the following actions were taken to
piano.
MOTION was made by Councilman Neils, seconded by Councilman Spaeth, that 18th Aventlo, not be
up -graded and that East Medicine Lake Boulevard be closed and terminated in , cul-de-sac
at that point, MOTIOM was made by Councilman Hunt, seconded by Councilman Cuibold, to
an*nd the motion that .ast Medicine Lake Boulevard not; be dead -envied at this time because
of the safety problem that it could cause. Moti ' n to amend the motion carried, five ayes.
Motion as amended carried, five ayes.
MOTION was made by Councilma i Hunt, seconded by Councilman Seibole, that the parking irea
on the south portion of the project be moved tr. the south in the area of land owned bl
the Village, that th. access road be termi.iate+ in a cul - de -sac in such a way to al l c.w

those residents who live along the lake access and
i
turn -around space, and that thejerking,
area shown on'the proposed,sketch be shown as park land. Motion carried, five ayes.
MOTION wa'i made by Councilman Hunt, secobded by Councilman Seibold, that the boat launching
site be restricted to non -motorized boats such as sailboats and canoes,,' The Maha_ger _
stated he felt there would be a problem with' enforcement if it is not specified that motor
boats can be launched at some other site. ;Councilman Neils stated he did not think the
Village would be acting responsible if it encouraged further use of pc:wer boats- on Medicine,
Lake and that we must realize that it will' be necessary to prohibit motorized boating on
the lake at some time in the future. Mt:1 Thomsen pointed out that it is nct %eally
necessary to have a launching area for sail boats or canoes. The motion an skcond for
the above motion were withdrawn.
JI
MOTION was made by Councilman Hunt, seconded by Councilman Seibold`* that thelboat,leunching
areas on Medicine Lake be eliminated from both the East and West Medicine Lake Park plans"
and that the land be put toa better more usable park purpose. Motion calrried, five,ayes.
West MedicinE Lake_ `
Me. Burton presented the plan for the West Medicine Lake Park and indicated he had some
concerns about the park lying on both sides of the road. For this reason a fence was
proposed along the west side of West Medicine Lahe Road extending from the parking lot past
the volleyball court and picnic areas. The Council expressed concern regarding the limited
visibility ,for south -bound traffic approaching*the pedestrian cross -walk arid/ suggested that
some type of warning signals be'instalied at the top of the hill.
MOTION was made by Councilman EJunt, seconded by Councilman Neils, that the parking lot
proposed he limited in size to'just serve the beach area at this time and the direction
be towards acquisition of enough right of way to provide some parking on the south side
of the creek and that the,land acquisition to the north be the major park area. Motion
carried, five ayes.
It was further suggested that a fishing dock with ample capacity be developed in the area
previously proposed for boat launching.
MOTION was made by Councilman Hunt. seconded by Councilman REQ SOLUTION N0+ 73-1611,
Seibold, to adopt RESOLUTION N0, 73-161. A RESOLUTION APPROVING

Farm and down to the Luce Line Railroad. He explained improvements would be of a

work. The Manager-roplained that some of the improvements could be handled t Baugh price
quotes rdceived by iie Purchasing Department and that a portion of the wort` woutd be
