Staff and to the Advisory Commission as well as to, assess the short term and long range impact of the. telephone survey results relative to park planning and development., The general consensus indicated a need for the development of a public information package. Councilmember Neils proposed a multi -pronged approach which was endorsed by Council as follows, - 1. Intensification of education efforts for the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission as well as citizens. 2. I;ntenslfication efforts toimprove and enhance public image through meetings with citizen groups, a. The development of Informatton`packages 4. survey public attitudes and knowledge after re-education efforts but prior to any bond referendum. Plymouth's Public Information Plai; would be an organized program for informing citizens about Parks and Recreation opportunities in Plymouth, The components of the public information plan fnclud e slides with dialog for presentation as well as a set of mounted information charts and a brochure. Results of the public information plan will; include increased knowledge about parks and -ecreation in Plymouth; increased use of park and recreation 'facilities and services; increased participation in the planning process,, and increased support of City park and recreation for eventual' bond issue.. Audiences could include sports organizations, homeowners associations, school boards, adult athletic leagues, the Hennepin County Park Reserve District, the Metropolitan Parks and Open Space Commission of the Metropolitan Council, and issue oriented special Interest citizenry groups. Meeting audiences could be structured by having individual commissioners being responsible as liaison for designated groups within general geographic areas of the City and distributtng an Advisory Commission calendar identifying meeting dates and times and topics. Schoolrepresentatives should be encouraged to attend the Advisory Commission meetings., Messages to be delivered in the Public: Information Plan could include. 1) the extstance and purpose of the. Advisory Commission and its composition 2) the type: of park system Paige Mm to PRAG tune 26.; 1979_ 3) how the funds for park acquisition and, development are acquired and; distri'btAed 4) park location and -major trails within the City 5 the planning processutilized,by the Advisory Commission in park, acquisition and development 6) the inter -related planning process with other city operations such as Planning Department and Engineering; i) the history of the Advisory Commission and the City 3) city government structure, inter -relatedness of the Advisory Commission to thi overall governmental structure 9) future park plans and, needs as identified in.long range planning under Capital Improvements Program 10) appreciation for citizen participation..

T . June 204 1979 MEMO TO< James G. Willis, City Manager FROM, Jon J. Born i SUBJECT Last Medicine Lake Boulevard Acquisition The 1975-83 Parks Capital Improvements`Program reflects the East Medicine Lake Boulevard Trail Corridor- Acquisition. Proiectl for 1980 totaling $280,000,00 with approximately 100,000.00 being derived from grants and the balance from, local funds, On May 7, 1979 the Plymouth city Council authorized Staff to prepare the appropriate LA'IWCON application for land acquisition along Cast Medicine lake. Boulevard in compliance with the adopted Trail System Plan. On May 21 1979 Mr, Cliff French, Superintendent of the Hennepin County Park Reserve District notified Mr. Robert Nethercut of the. Parks and open Space Commission of the Metropolitan Council that the; Park Reserve District would support the City of Plymouth's LAWCON/LCMR grant application for the acquisition of certain parcels of land on the east side of Medicine Lake in order to implement a local trail system (Attachment A) On June b, 1979 Mr., N.M, Jensen, Jr. Chief Park Planner of the. Metropolitan parks and Open Space Commission, Metropolitan Council, replied to Mr. French that any application for LAWCON funds from the City of Plymouth to acquire land' `within this corridor for trail purposes would; be, rejected- as ineligible for grant assistance under the current policy of reserving all LAWCONILCMR funds for local recreation projects, Having discussed this with the personnel from the. Henoepirt. County Park. Reserve District: as well as Mr. Jessen, Staff observes that it would be futile for the City of Plymouth to prepare and submit'a grants application for this project. Mr. Jessen's reply and position has effectively reduced the potential forthis corridor being acquired, much less developed, since a funding request from the City of Plymouth would be rejected and the Park Reserve, District does not have funds for this corridor nor a, priority ranking for funds. I intend to establish a meeting with representatives from the Hennepin County Park Reserve District, the City Engineer and myself in an attempt to identify alternatives to the acquisition and development of this trail corridor. I will keep you appraised of the. alternatives identi.fi.ed for the acquisition and development of this: corridor as they impact upon the City of Plymouth and the Hennepin County Park Reserve District. 4 N C 300 Metra Square Building., 7th Street and, Robort.

Clifton French,, Superintendent Hennepin County Park Reserve District E, O., Sox 295 Maple Plain, Minnesota 55369 Dear Mr., French: We have reviewed your letter of May 21, 1979, concerning Plymouth's intention to prepare and'submit a LAWCON/LCMR grant application for the acquisition of some parcels of land along the east side of Medicine Lake, In; so doing,, we have reviewed a number of documents concerning the Norah Hennepin 'Trail Corridor as will as the Regional Trail System Plan and the informal policy regarding LAWCON funding: for Regional' Recreation Open Space facilities, I frankly an a hit surprised and bewildered after reading the letter and <comparing;it with the historical documents Which we nave herein the office. It seems to me that the district has,, in, 'fact, continually and consistently argued for a Regional Trail Corridor on the east shore of Medicine Lake, connecting to `olden Valley's Municipal Trails System, and,, ultimately, connecting to the Theodore Wirth Regional Park. A couple of specific examples regarding these p"—ns,- 1 Your December 1975 Master Plan indicates that. the Medicine. Take: Reqional Park to Theodore forth Paris trail would be approximately five miles in length, paralleling the east shore ofMedicine Lake, This so-called":segment G" of the Regional Trail Corridor is appoximately five miles of the, 38 mile total North Hennepin Trail Corridor, 2. Your Five Year Plan (1977 to 1981) indicates a Regional Trail Corridor, Loop 1, along the east side of Medicine Laka, copnecting to Theodore. Firth Park. l a131 3. On March 17th, 1977, the Park Reserve District commented) the proposed Regiona' Trails System and indicated that th 3 9 entire North Hennepin Trail Loop should be included in Qdemonstrationproject. The testimony Included This ent1ve QEfi1Y q An Agency Crowned to Cooromotto tho l`l noing and of theTwivi Cit m metropolitmn .Ara(%CompriAis4, A,nakh Couatty'U Cnrver COUnty ti Dick stn County 0 3tonnopin County t?.

Recreation Area to Elm Creek Parr Reserve to Weaver Lake Park to Fish Lake Regional Park to. Eagle. Lake Regional Park, to Medicine Lake Regional Park to Theodore birth Park to Palmer take Park (via Victory Memorial Drive), returning to the Coon Rapids, Dam Recreation Area." 4Your LAWCDN contingency grant application, submitted in. August of 1977, expresses, again the total North Hennepin, Trail Corridor Loop Systct from Coon.. Rapids Cam through Medicine Lake, Theodore Mirth, and returning to the Conn Rapids Dam Regional Park. Page IS of the application docum ettt states first priority acquisition as follows.- To ollows;" To acquirethose segments from Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park, Elm:Creek Park Reserve, to Fish Lake Regional Park to Eagle Lake. Regional Park. to Medicine Lake Regional Park to the municipal boundary of Golden Valley. Esti- mated, cost to acquire this 23 mile portion is 3Z,S. million." r Also on Page 15 ofthe document, the following statement appears regarding second priority for acquisition, To assist !+.,he City of Brooklyn Park in acquiring the trail: corridor segment from Goon Rapids [dam Regional Park to Palmer Lake- Park in the City of' Brooklyn Center. For the most part this. segment will be acquired through dedication by the: City of Brooklyn Park. In addition, the district will continue, to; work, with the: municipalities of Ki nneapol i s,; Brooklyn Center, and Golden Valley in identifying the, trails: best suited for inclusion. as part of the North Hennepin Trail Corridor within these high-dens.ity,; urbanized areas.11 These continued` representations by the district, as well as other statements Which, have been made by you and trembers of your staff, clearly indicaltle to as that the district's position has been that: this particular segment on the east side of Medicine Lake was,, in fact,, a Regional Trail Corridor. Based; on that, we included it in the Regional Recreation Open Space System Plan,, Regional Trails Amendment, adopted late in 1978. At the public hearing held' July 27, 1978, the City of Plymouth did request that this segment of the: trail corridor be considered,a local "collector" trail, Staff response to this input indicated; that we felt it should be considered regional since it meets: the criteria and objectives of the Regional System. This response was based on, among other things, all of the input received; from the, district previously.. The district, in its comments at the hearing was silent on this issue. While there.may well be some good reasons for having Plymouth participate in the acquisition. ofthese properties, I can see no good: reasons for dropping this segment of the North Hennepin Trail Corridor from the Regional Sy`stem.. To do so would eliminate the need for the trail through Golden Valley t Theodore Wirth and would createa substantial void in the North Henn 4 ll t Loop. To the extent that we have a Regional Trails System, we have n sold on the loop concept by, among others., the district and your corrtinu 1529 stroma support for the North Hennepin Trail Corridor Plan. Croppi v t44 E~l j p y lblinkintheloopwould, in my judgmant, by necessity, cause a: serious rethinking of the entire Regional Trail System. It would also tend to negate one of the real positive aspects of the North Hennepin Trait Corridor in the milids of many people and that is the "direct 1 ink to thi Kinneapol.is Parkway System, at Theodore Wirth Park makes the trail corridor and park facilities readily accessible to residents of the core city, particularly to the people having lower incomes residing in the: densely populated northers Minneapolis area"., (Page Q, North. Hennepin Trail Corridor LAWCOU Contingency Application, August 1977) If we have a Regional System, 1 think it's extremely important that the; ; Regional Park implementing agencies (in this, case: the Hennepin County Park Re4erve District), are responsible for implementation. I don't think it serves the system well to pick and choose among those segments of the tr(M corridor as to which are regional and which are not... It seems to roe they either are or are not regional in total particularly in the case of this loop trail concept.. Given my perspective, it seems to me our choices area either it is a Regional Trail with the Hennepin County Park Reserve District as the implementing agency, or it is a Regional Trail with the City of Plymouth as the implementing agency You. know well my attitude given these, two chokes, and that I favor the former. I hope you can understand my surprise at your letter and this response. While on one hand the district has indicated a change of position regarding the segment of the trail from the Coon Rapids tram to Palmer Lake,, the original Horth Hennepin Trail. Corridor concept called for Brooklyn Park to acquire this segment through land dedication. At the July 1978 public hearinq on the Regional Trails Policy plan, the District requested and we agreed to modify the plan to include this segment for funding 'in the GIP for Regional Trails, On the other hand, the district. now advocates that Plymouth be responsible for implementing an equally important segment of the trail loop on the east. shore of Medicine Lake even though etirl i er the district solicited LAWCON Contingency grant funds as well as Regional Recreation, Open Space.funds for this acquisition. Our position on this matter is, that the Regional Trail Systfrm accurately reflects the North Hennepin Loop Regional Trail Corridor. Given that designation:, any application for LAWCON funds from the City of Plymouth to acquire land within this corridor for trail, purposes will be rejected as ineligible for Grant assistance under, the current policy of reserving, all. LAVICON/LCMR, grant funds for local 0,e., not regional) recreation. projects;. 5 Sincerely, Marty Jessen Chief park P1 Mu/mf cc: Jon.

East Medicine Laker Boulevard Acquisition The 1975'-83 Parks Capital Improvements Program reflects the East Medicine Lake Boulevard Trail Corridor Acquisition Project for 1980 totaling $280,000.00 with approximately 100,000.00 being derived from grants and the balance from local funds. On May 7, 1979 the Plymouth C. y Council authorized Staff to prepare the appropriate LAWCON application_ for land acquisition along East Medicine Lake; Boulevard in compliance with; the adopted Trail System Plan, On May 21, 1979 Mr. Cliff French, Superintendent of the Hennepin County Park Reserve District notified Mr. Robert Nethercut of the Parks and Open Space Commission of the Metropolitan Council that the Park Reserve District would support the City of Plymouth's LAWCON/LCMR grant application for the acquisition of certain parcels of land on the east side of Medicine lake in order to implement a local trail system (Attachment A). On June 6, 1979 Mr. N.M. Jessen, Jr., Cnief Park, Planner of the Metropolitan Parks: and Open Space Commission, Metropolitan Council, replied to Mr. French that any application for LAWCON funds from the City of Plymouth to acquire land within this corridor for trail purposes would; be rejected as ineligible for grant assistance under the current policy of reserving all LAWCON/LCMR funds for local recreation projects. Having discussed this with the personnel from the Hennepin County Park Reserve District, as well as; Mr. Jessen, Staff observes that i'L would be futile for the: City of Plymouth to prepare and submit a, grants application for this project.L Mr. Jessen's reply and position has effectively reduced the potential fora this corridor being acquired, much less- developed, since a funding request from the, City of Plymouth would be rejected and the Park Reserve District does not have funds for this corridor nor a; priority ranking for funds. I intend to establish a meeting with representatives from the Hennepin County Park Reserve District, the City Engineer and myself in an attempt to identify alternatives to the acquisition and development of this trail corridor. I will keep you appraised of the alternatives identified for the acquisition and development of this corridor as they impact upon the City of Plymouth and the Hennepin County Park Reserve District. n J., 3brin, Director Parks: and -Recreation JJB/nld 1,: ,r.: ' rte,-- 300 Metro Square Building", 7th Street and. Robert Street, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55101 Area 612, 291.6358 June E, 1979 Clifton French, Superintendent Hennepin County Park, Reserve District: P. 0. Box 296 Maple Plain, Minnesota. 55359 Jean Mr. French. We have reviewed your letter of May 21, 1979, concerning Plymouth's intention. to prepare and submit, a .AWCON/LCMR grant application for the acquisition of some parcels of land along theeastside of Medicine Lake. In so doing, we have reviewed a number of documents concerning the North Hennepin Trail Corridor as well as the Regional Trail System Plan and the informal policy regarding LAWCON funding for Regional Recreation Open Space facilities, I frankly am a; bit surprised and bewildered after reading the letter and comparing It with the historical documents which we have herein the office. It seems to me that the district has, in fact, continually and consistently argued for a Regional Trail Corridor on the east shore of Medicine Lake, connecting to Golden Valley's Municipal Trails System acd., ultimately, connecting to the Theodore Wirth Regional Park., A couple of specific examples regarding these. plans: 1. Your December 1975 Master P'an indicates that. the Medicine Lake Regional Park to Theodore Wirth Park, trail would be approximately five miles in length, paralleling the east shore of Medicine Lake. This so-called "Segment G of the Regional Trail Corridor is appoximately five miles of the 38 mile total North Hennepin Trail Corridor. 2. Your Five Year Plan (1977 to 1981) indicates a Regional Trail Corridor, Loop 1 along the east side of Medicine Lake, connecting to Theodore Wirth Park. ',i 12 3. On March 17th, 1977, the Park Reserve District cortmentediOn the proposed Regional Trails System and indicated that the vv.1013 C entire. North Hennepin Trail Loop should be included in tpgo ECv ydemonstrationproject. The testimony included This eni,ee 1`tJ 11'o'FZ G Act Afgoticy CroH4odto Coordivanto Usti Planning and vevolopmont of tho Twin Cition MotropoliLan Aron ConiprisinK: Awek* County 0 Cnrwr County,,,- Dnkotw County 0 lionnai in County 0 RwmNy County 0 Scott County 0 Wsohington County a. trail letup would consist of trail lengths from Coon Rapids Dam Recreation Area to Elm Creek Park Reserve to Weaver Lake Park to Fish Lake Regional Park to Eagle Lakp Regional Park to Med.i.cine Lake, Regional Park to Theodore Wirth Park. to Palmer Lake Park (via Victory Memorial Drive,), returning to the Coon Rapids, 'Dam Recreation Area." 4. Your LAWCON contingency grant application, submitted in August of 1977,`expresses again the total North Hennepin Trail Corridor Loop System from Coon Rapids Dam through Medicine Lake, Theodore Wirth, and returning to the Coon Rapids Dam, Regional Park. Page 15: of the application document states first priority acquisition as follows To acquire tho:.,e segments from Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park, Elm Creek Park Reserve, to Fish Lake Regional Park to Eagle Lake Regional Park to Medicine Lake Regional Park to the municipal boundary, of Golden Valley. Esti- ma'ted, cost to acquire this 23 mile, portion is $2.5 million,` I. Also on Page 15 of the document, the following statement appear regarding second priority for acquisition; To assist the City of Brooklyn Park in acquiring the trail corridor seqment from Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park to Palmer take Park in the City_ of Brooklyn Center. For the: most part this segment will be acquired through dedication by the City of Brooklyn Park. In.addit.ion, the district will continue to work with the municipalities of Minneapolis, Brooklyn Center, and Golden Valley in identifying the trails best suited for inclusion as part of the North Hennepin Trail Corridor within these high-density, urbanized areas. These continued representations by the district, as well as other statements which have been made by you and members of your staff, clearly indicate to us that the district's- position has been that this particular segment on the east side of Medicine Lake was,, in fact,, a Regional Trail Corridor. Based on that, we included it in the Regional Recreation Open Space System Plan, Regional Trails Amendment, adopted late in 1978. At the public hearing held July 27, 1478, the City of Plymouth did request that this segment of the trail corridor be considered a. local "collector" trail. Staff response to this input indicated that we felt it should be considered regional since it meets the criteria and objectives of the Regional System. This response was based on, among other things, all of the input received from the district previously.. The district, in its comments at the hearing, was silent, on this issue. While there.may well be some good reasons for having Plymouth participate in tha..acquisition of these properties, I can see no good reasons for dropping this, segment of the North Hennepin Trail Corridor from the Regional System. To do so would elimina-' the need for the trail through Golden Valley to Theodore Wirth and woulu create a substantial void in the North Henn V1 134 Loop.. To the extent, that we have a Regional Trails System, we have n sold on the loop concept by, among others, the district and your co ntinu 4 strong support for the North Hennepin Trail Corridor Plan. Droppif6v the Co GEwE Yom+ 4 link; in the loop would, in my judgment, by necessity, cause a serious rethinking of the entire Regional Trail System. It would also tend to negate one of the real; positive aspects of the North Hennepin Trail Corridor in the minds of many people: and that is the "direct link to the Minneapolis Parkway System at Theodore Wirth Park makes .the trail corridor and park facilities readily accessible to residents of the core elty,, particularly to; the people having lower incomes residing in thedensely populated northern Minneapolis area". (Page 6, North Hennepin Trail Corridor LAWCON Contingency Application, August 1977) I`f we have a Regional System, T think it's extremely important that the Regional Park implementing agencies (in this case the Hennepin County Park Reserve District) are responsible for implementation. I don't think it serves the system well to pick and choose among those segments of thee trail corridor, as to which are regional and which are not. It seems to me they either are or are not regional in total, particularly in the: case of this loop trail concept. Given my perspective, it seems to me our choices are: either it is a Regional Trail with the Hennepin. County Park Reserve- District as the implementing agency, or it is a Regional Trail with the City of Plymouth as the implementing agency. You know well my attitude given these: twochoices and that I,favor the. former. I hope you can understand my surprise at your letter and this response. While on one hand the district has indicated a change of position regarding the segment of the trail from the Coon Rapids Dam to Palmer Lake, the original North Hennepin Trail Corridor concept called for Brooklyn Park to acquire this segment through land dedication.. At the Judy 1918 putlic hearing on the Regional. Trails Policy Plan, the District requested and we agreed to modify the plan to include this segment for funding "in the CIP for Regional Trails.. On the other hand, the district now advocates that Plymouth be responsible for implementing an equally important segment of the trail loop on the east shore of Medicine Lake even though earlier the district solicited LAWCON contingency grant funds as well as Regional Recreation: Open Space funds for this acquisition. Our position on this matter is that the Regional Trail Systein accurately reflects the North Hennepin Loop Regional Trail Corridor. Given that designation, any application for LAWCON funds from the City of Plymouth to acquire land within this corridor for trail purposes. will be rejected as; ineligible for grant assistance under the current policy of reserving. all LAWCON/LCMR grant funds for local (i.e., not regional) recreation projects.

By means of zoning, and a proposed road realinement, the City has'or expects to wauMnE.GEWRv secure much of the east shore of Medicine Lake.

DONALD c. P11140HAM 101100E"'O1S Jon Born expressed some concern in that the Regional Recreation RAYMOWN,sEAGOWN, Open Space Systeiii plan conceptually identifies a regional trail' ria corridor in the: alinement of what is in fact a community trail. The trail segment is designated as a community trail on the Xity NX`` of Plymouth's comprehensive trail plan as adopted in 1976 and is consistent: with the North Hennepin Trai' Corridor Concept, plan as prepared by the Hennepin County Park Reserve District. Conceptually, the.Park Reserve District has shown a regional cx tfbN FaEnT SINfRfNTENpENL corridor extension to the - Luce Line Trail from the west side of Medicine Lake.. It has never been the Park Reserve District's intention to, acquire: and develop a trail corridor along the east shore of Medicine Lake, but rather to coordinate with the cities of Plymouth and Golden Valley in utilizing their, municipal trail system to form,a•trail connection between Medicine Lake to Theodore Wirth Park... MAS 1 S76 9 a Q`(91aIk Mr. Robert Nethercut -2- May 21, 1979 Therefore, for the purpose of clarification, please be advised that it has been the City, of Plymouth and the Park Reserve District's mutual widerstanding that the trail proposed for the east shore, of Medicine Lake would be provided by the City as -a camiun i ty trail. 1 realize that the regional trail corridors as identified in, the Regional Recreation System plan,, dated; November 1978, are for .conceptual purposes; however, to the extent that the current regional trail designation may preclude the City of Plymouth from securing LAWCON/LCMR; funds to accomplish the project., the Park Reserve District hereby requests that the designation of this segment as a regional trail in the System Plan b.- amended to.reflect its actual implementation as a community trail/.
