I have. taken the comparative narrative one step further and have plugged "constants"

generated by the respective policies (atta-chment #2),, u
I suggest that the present cash -in -lieu fee policy of Plymouth needs: revision to
more accurately reflect the value of park lands' proposed for dedication. It mast
be remembered that Plymouth's parks system can not and will not be built entirely

From a purley, economic: point of view, Bloomington's residential policy generates
the most revenue while Maple Gravels residential policy generates the least

In, reviewing the Indus tri al/Ccom ercia! policies, I have applied appropriate
constants which reflect that in a given situation Eden Prarie generates the:
highest commercial/indus c -ail cash -in -lieu fees while Maple Grove generates the

I recommend that Plymouth's cash -in -lieu tee policies be revised to reflect

MINNEAPOLIS
I thou ht :t might be helpful t099p you in your staff presentation. for
TH0W3e, r„R,me in this letter to outlinethe background of the, Park Reserve
MAPLE PLAIN District's cooperative efforts with northern Hennepin County
w YMOM14.;FAWEN municipalities in planning and acquiring a trail corridor generally
k NNEAPOLIS extending from the Coon Rapids Dam. to Elm. Creek Park Reserve on
southerly to Medicine Lake Regional. Park. Since its conception in
1972, the North Hennepin. Trail Corridor project has been planned
cUFTONE.FAENca through coordinated efforts between the Park Reserve. District, the
SUPERINTENDENT Metropolitan Council and northern Hennepin County municipalities.
Initial meetings were held between the District and municipalities
to establish general trail corridor alignments. and particular trail
needy throughout the County. Subsequent meetings and discussions
with city _park and recreation commissions, city planning commissions
and city councils have been heldon an ongoing basis to establish
specific alignments while also determining appropriate recreation
uses along the various segments of the trail corridor. To implement
the acquisition and development of the trail cors -dor, the Park
Reserve. District has entered into joint powers agreements with the
Mr. Jon Born - 2 - March 20, 1913
Cities of Brooklyn Park and Haple Grave. These agreements specifi'cal,ly
recognize that a cooperative approachi in the planning and acquisition of the
regional trail corridor is in the mutual park interest of the cities as well.
as the District., The joint powers agreement provides a formaimechanism for
continual cooperation to maximize 'individual resources in planning,
acquisition, development and operatioiis of this unique multi --use trail
corridor.
The Hennepin County Park Reserve District is designated as the primary
implementing agency for the acquisition and development of the trail corridor
from the Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park to the connection with Golden Valley's
trail system just east of Medicine Lake Regional Park. The municipalities in
this area are responsible: for the acquisition and development. of local trails
within their respective. communities. The Park. Reserve District's trail system
lair encourages municipalities to plan their local trail system in cooperation
with the Park Reserve District in an effort to connect regional trails and
regioral parks.
The joint powers: agreement, 1 believe, is fairly straight forward. Its intent
is to jointly establish a land acquisition plan for a regional trail corridor
through the City of Plymouth. We have previously discussed the trail alignment
proposal, with, you, Chuck Dillerud, and Jim Willis. i have asked Don ring to
send you the map, Exhibit A, which, I believe, represents a common acceptance
of a regional trail corridor alignment in Plymouth. (Don has been out of the
office for a fear days, but will send; the map to you Wednesday morning, March 22.)
i, think it would be helpful, Jon, in your staff discussions to focus on the
responsibilities of Plymouth. as proposed in this agreements
1) The City will cooperate with the. District in planning for the acquisition
of the trail corridor for regional park purposes.
2) The City agrees to provvide staff' assistance where possible to maximize
land acquisition efforts for the regional trail corridor.
3) The City shall maximize the use of Land dedication for park purposes
within the designated' trail corridor for the benefit of the regional
trail. corridor as proposed under this agreement.
r') The City would grant consent to. the District -to acquire property
described within, the approved trail corridor as shown on Exhibit A.
This statement is qualified that the District would not commence
eminent domain proceedings unless reasonable and good faith negotiations
have been made. (Again, this. is a very important section of the joint
powers agreenunt. As you well know., the Hennepir. County Park Reserve
District cannot commence any negotiation without the expressed consent
from Plymouth. Brooklyn Park and Maple Grove had also approved this
provision. To date, the District hos not entered into eminent domain
proceedings for regional trail purposes.)
Mr. Jon Born 3 - March 20, 197€3
5) The City, in consultation with the District, will cooperate in the
development of plans for the improvementP operation, and maintenance of
the regional trail corridor within the policy guidelines by the Park
Reserve District.. (Jon, this statevxnt simply re.-en.f oices the intent
of cooperative planning, present and future, between the City and the
Pack Reserve District.)
Page 3 of the agreement outlines the responsibilities of the Hennepin County
Park Reserve District as follows:
l) The District will, develop, in cooperation. and coordination with Plymouth,
a land: acquisition master plan for the regional trail corridor.
2) The District shall acquire, develop, and maiclta.i'n lands within the.
designatedareafor regional trail corridor. The City shall have the
right to use all such land acquired by the District for purposes
consistent with the regional trail corridor.
You; might remember that last September, 1977, the Park Reserve District applied
for contingency Land and Water Conservation funds for this trail corridor
project and Plymouth supported. District's efforts to secure these contingency
funds for land acquisition purposes.. The project has received enthusiastic
support from north Hennepin communities, Minnesota's. U.S. Congressi-onal.
Delegation, the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners, and State senators and
representatives. It is encouraging to note that the application has receivee
attention from the Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service. The Park
Reserve District has received notice; that a final decision might be made within
the next thirty days. I am mentioning th.is status report because, if funded,
the District would then be in the position to co-imence acquisition in Plymouth
very shoe tly. The approval of the joint powers agreement between the City and
the Park Reserve District would, therefore, be necessary prior to any active
negoti_ion efforts.
Itrust this letter outlines the general background, and intent: of the joint
powers agreement. From the City and Distirct's joint meeting held in hate
January, 1973, 1 got the strong feeling the City's Planning Commission and
City Council feel approval of a ;oint powers agreement would be appropriate
at this time. After you have had the opportunity to discuss with City staff,
kindly give me a coli to outline the best procedure in presenting the agree-
ment to the City Council.
Thank you for your continued cooperation. I should return from our short
Wisconsin trip by March 28th. Talk to you then.
Sincerely yours,
John Christian

TOz Bark and Recreation Advisory Commission
PROW, Oon d, Born, Director of Parks: and Recreation
SUBJECT: Neighborhood Parks Change Order Request
0
On March 1.5 1978 I: mei: with Roy Anderson of Weht man, Chapman Associates and.
Tom Schiltz of Ail American Recreation and Sales, Inc, to discuss the completion
status, progress and sequence for the neighborhood parks presently under
construction. Schil'tz indicates that construction should be completed by dune
15,. 1976 barring unforseeable complications.,
The architects and contractor recommend that selected areas at all s.ites be
sodded rather than being seeded. as planned. Their request is based, or, the fact
that:
sodding along trails to a width of 36" will help ctabllizL soil and water runoff.
srddinq in other selected areas will enhance access to selected use areas of
individual parks such as the play complex areas,
sodding at the sites will enable earlier use by the citizens than if a seeding
process is used.
The contractor desires that the sites be usable as soon as possible and offers the
above recoiinendation which would call for the substitution of sod in selected areas
of the park sites. Allowances will be made for seed not used and the additional
expense will; be 59,200. Sod will be maintained, by the contractor as per the approved
plans and specifications for neighborhood park improvements.
I agree with the recommendation. proposed by the architect and contractor that sod is.
needed but can not recommend deficit spending in the Neighborhood Parks Account as
that account has a deficit balance of $25,235 as of February 28, 1973,
It is appropriate for the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission to forward a
recommendation to Council supporting staff's recommendation not, to make expenditures
for sod.
