East Medicine Lake Boulevard Trail Proposal (topics #5, 5A)
Director Born stated that the Metropolitan Council Parks and Open Space Commission.
will reject any, application from the City of Plymouth for the acquisition and
development of the trail corridor along East Medicine Lake Boulevard from 13th
Ave. No. to 36th Ave. No. because this Corridor is deemed by the Metropolitan
Council Parks and Open Space Commission staff (Mr. Jessen) as having Reginal
significance and should be the responsibility of the Hennepin County Park Reserve
District. Director Born stated. that he believed the Hennepin County Park Reserve
District should be th:n agency most appropriate to undertake the acquisition; and
development of the Corridor based on the policy position of the Metropolitan
Council Parks and Open Space Commission,
An alternative proposed by the Association of Medicine Lake Area Citizens (AMLAC)
would favor a series of one-way traffic routes along Southshore Boulevard and
East Medicine Lake Boulevard from East Medicine Lake Park to 32nd Ave. No.
Director Born stated that he had met with the City Engineer on the concept pro-
posal and the Engineer said that one-way streets must be developed in pairs and
that the streets proposed for the one-way trail by the AMLAC group do not meet:
these criteria. Director -Born, recommended that:,
1. The Class II Bike Lane proposed for 13th Ave. No. be installed.
2. The trail in East. Medicine Lake Park be installed at the time of East
Medicine Lake Community Park development.
3. The Hennepin County Park Reserve District be given full support in the
acquisition and development of the East Medicine Lake Boulevard Trail
Corridor.
R. The Trail Corridor proposed for West Medicine Lake Boulevard be implemented
at the time that County Road 154 is relocated.
Discussion centered on the time frame for the i7elocation of County Road 154 and the
potential displacement of homeowners on East Medicine Lake Boulevard because that.
Corridor will require land acquisition. Director Born responded that County Road
154 relocation is not contemplated in the five year Capital Improvements Plan and
that the City is attempting to link Corridor components around the Lake with other
governmental agencies and developers, Commissioner Brass moved and Commissioner
Terry seconded the notion to endorse Director Born's recommendation. Commissioner
Mullan moved an amendment., seconded by Commissioner Chesebrough that "It is assumed
that the Hennepin County Park Reserve District will only acquire property necessary
to assure safety of trail users", Motion to amend carried, Main Motion carried.
Director Born reviewed the topic of East Medicine Lake Trail Corridor Acquisition
and recommended that;
1. The adopted Trail System Plan be revised to indicate the Regional
significance of the East Medicine Lake; Boulevard Trail Corridor.,
2. The Hennepin County Park Reserve District become the agency involved in
the continued acquisition and development of the identified fast Medicine
Lake Boulevard Trail Corridor from 36th Ave. to. East Medicine Lake
Community Park.
3. The Hennepin County Park Reserve District be encouraged to pursue the
Corridor acquisition and development consistent with the existing Joint
Powers agreement between the Hennepin. County Park Reserve District and
the City of Plymuth (May 1978).
Commissioners Mullan and. Chesebrough asked if time frames needed to be placed on
corridor acquisition and the revision of the adopted Trail System Plan. Director
Born stated that the: Hennepin County Park. Reserve District is the appropriate
agency to secure funding and that a timeframe for the acquisition could not be
specified as funding is not an assured factor. Director Born stated that the.
Trail System.Plan needs to be revised in order to reflect the Regional signifi-
cance of the corridor which will assist the Hennepin County Park Reserve. District
in its efforts to secure funding. Commissioner Brass moved and Commissioner
Chesebrough seconded the motion to endorse Director Born's recommendations,
Commissioner Mullan moved and Commissioner Terry seconded an amendment "It is
assumed that the Hennepin County Park Reserve District will only acquire property
necessary to assure the safety of trail users Motion to amend carried, Main.
Motion carried.
Synopsis of the Joint Meeting -(7-24-79)
Director Born stated that he was pleased with the: attendance and the direction of
the discussion of the Joint Meeting on July 24, 1979. He reNiewed a synopsis
relating to Recreation programs, Parks Dedication Fund, Public Works Reserve.
Fund, Development Policy for parks, PRAC policies, Capital Improvements Program
and the Public Information Plan. Projects for the PRAC to undertake and complete
were identified as follows;
l.) Develop a position/policy statement to define the City's role in the
provision of Recreation, Programs presently being offered by a school
district for which there will be no future revenue sources from the
school district.
2.) Develop parks development guidelines and standards dictating the minimum
standard and condition for a park dedicated to the City by a developer.
3.) Develop a policy iiJdressing the acquisition and maintenance of marsh-
lands as public wildlife sanctuaries as potential adjuncts to neighbor-
hood parks.
4.) Develop the 1980 1984. Parks Capital Improvement Program.
5,) Develop and implement the Public Information Plan.
Commissioners discussed Recreation Program input and cooperation with school
districts and the use of a portion of the Public Works Reserve Fund to assist in
the; Capital Improvements Fund, Director Born reviewed the proposed Park Develop-
ment Guidelines and.their incorporation into the Manual of Engineering Guidelines.
The Canmission indicated that developers should be aware of the Neighborhood
Park components so the components will be identified on development plans, Dir-
ector Born indicated that he will provide an analysis of Neighborhood Park sites
by size and neighborhood as well as playfield analysis by location for discussion
at the September 6, 1979 meeting. Director Born stated that he would draft a,
policy statement addressing the acceptance and maintenance of marshes as public
wildlife sanctuaries.
1980 1984 Parks Capital Improvement Program,
Director Born reviewed the draft of the 1,980 - 1984 Parks Capital Improvement
Program and discussed funding options with the Commission. Director Born intends
to prepare the Capital Improvements Program illustrating funding from traditional
and non-traditional methods and illustrating those methods on a timeline so as
to reflect the development impact when using a bond referendum and when not
using a bond referendum. Commissioners discussed the County Road 15 Bike Path
project and the rationale for including La Compte as a Playfield. Plymouth
Athletic. Association representative Len Theide was asked if the Plymouth Athletic
Association would use the La Compte facility and he responded that they probably
would not use it but that it does serve the people in that area and should be
included in the Capital Impprovements Program. Director Born will recommend that the
PRAC endorse the revised,1980-1984 Parks Capital Improvement Program in September.
Director Boni reviewed the -Public Information Program and stated that the Council
authorized the preparation and implementation of a Public Information Program and.
has authorized an expenditure not to exceed $5,000 for the P*•)gram. Director
Born will work with Commissioner Rice and Threinen securing .,e services of a
consulting firm to package the Public Information. Program. Commissioner Mullan
indicated that he felt strongly that the budget for this program should be made
known to each agency at the front end so that the firm selected will know
exactly the funds available to work with..
Director Born reviewed the Gleanloch Park meeting of July 31, 1979. Commissioner
Terry commented that the surrounding residents felt that they would like to have
the park and some of the residents felt the Park as proposed will have components.
quite close to existing property owners. Commissioner Terry stated that she would
coordinate with the staff,; the consultants and property owners and attempt to
move the hard court surface from the location previously recommended by the PRAC.
Director Born stated that he felt the hard surface court should not be relocated
because
1.) There would.be a constriction of the open play area and potential
conflict with the storm sewer.
2.) The, relocation of the court would require trail realignment resulting in
greater visibility of the court than being tLcked into the proposed
berm of approximately two to three feet.
3.) There would be a greater tendency for balls to roll into the marsh area.
creating a potential safety hazard'.
Commissioner Terry moved to amend the Commission's earlier recomnrondation with
a concept which kould reflect the attitude of the Neighborhood that they would
prefer to have the hard court placed in a location further from adjoining
properties, Motion did not carry for lack of a second.
Director Born reviewed the Recreation programs and activities offered from 1975
until 1978 and identified the: programs which the Department proposes to offer in
1480., Director Born responded to questions: relating to budgets and operating
expenses.
Director Born reviewed the storm damage :lean -up report distributed to Council on
July l 3, 1979..
Being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 10:.30 p.m.

3..
MINUTES
Brass moved and Chesebrough seconded the Motion to approve the August 2, 1979
minutes, Motion carried.
Cavanaugh Subdivision Petition
Director Born reviewed the request from residents of the Cavanaugh Subdivision for
an open space for children of the area to play. Director Born found no land owned
by the City that would be suitable for a ballfield at the present time.. The City
is negotiating with owners of the Rembrandt property for acquisition. Play space
Is being contemplated for the 1980/1.984 Parks Capital Improvement Program along
Pernbrook Lane.
Rice asked how many residents resided in the Cavanaugh neighborhood and Director
Born indicated that approximately seventy households were containedin the sub-
division. Brass commented that three years ago the residents of Cavanaugh had the
same; request and at that time it'could not be granted for the same reasons. Director
Born said that in 1976 the park which is to serve that particular Neighborhood was
designed into the Central Park Plan.. Rice requested that an evaluation be made on
Neighborhood Park development within the Cavanaugh area taking precedence in 1980/
1981 Park plans.. Director Born commented that the Cavanaugh area is at this time:
fairly well developed but he would continue to look into the development of a
park for the Cavanaugh area.
Plymouth Athletic Association Hockey Request
The Plymouth Athletic Association is required to provide two hockey rinks for the
1979/1980 hockey season. In 1977, the City of Plymouth authorized the Association.
to use the Pilgrim Lane hockey rink on selected days during the hockey season. In
1978 the Association requested that a second rink be provided and the Department
acquired the use of the Armstrong Sr. Highschool rink and building. Director Born
discussed three reasons why the Association feels the Armstrong Highschool rink is
not adequate:
1.) The: lighting requires a safer standard for the older youth to play
in being the puck travels at a higher, speed.
2.) The school building s too far in distance from the hockey rink to be.
utilized as a warming house facility..
3.) Use of the facility by the highschool team precludes scheduling by the
Association.
An option, proposed by the Association is to renovate Plymouth Junior Highschool hockey
rink.. The cost for renovation will be approximately $7,000 and the Association will
pick up $1,000 ofthe cost with in Kind services. Director Born feels that renova-
tion of the Plymouth Junior Highschool rink is the most cost effective alternative
and he recommends that the Plymouth City Council be requested to authorize an ex-
penditure, of up to $7,000 from the. Park Dedication Fund for the renovation of the
site. Rice asked whether or not the renovation fits within the Department's overall
priorities'and Director Born responded it is a priority within the existing area.
Threi'nen wass concerned about the timeline if it were renovated and Director Born
said that it could be completed this season however it has to be authorized by the
Council and Board of Education.
Chesebrough stated that the funding should be analyzed and whether or not funding
comes out of that neighborhood area. He inquired where operation funds would come
from with Director Born stating that the parks operaticns budget would pay for
operational costs. Since there is nc school hockey team, the School Board has
no interest in participating 'n the improvement..
Rice stated that he felt there are features in this improvement which would bring
about some positive thoughts.. Not only would it establish initiative in working
closer with the Athletic Association but also by taking action:, this would demon-
strate to schools involved that the City is trying to respond to the Community's
needs.
Threinen moved and Brass seconded the Motion to renovate Plymouth Junior Nighschoo`l,
hockey rink as stated in Director Born's report.
Blue Ribbon Committee Report City ofMinnetonka
Director Born reviewed the Report of the City of Minnetonkato study methods in
improving the coordination of Recreation Programs. and to develop closer ties with
School Districts and adjacent communities: as well as providing services through
private or semi -private agencies. Director Born said that: the. City of Plymouth
already employs cooperative programming with other governmental agencies; private
or semi -private groups.
Rice stated the Commission appreciates the
Minnetonka.'s plans for strengthening their
extends willingness to exchange ideas and,
Parks Tour 1979
opportunity to review the City of
Commission and at this time the PRAC
assist Minnetonka if they do organize..
Director Born stated that many Commissioners and Council members have not had an
opportunity to familiarize themselves with future park sites and Director Born feels
that benefit can be obtained if a tour is taken September 27, 1979 of specific
sites. Director Born recommends the following sites to be seen during the tour:
Mission Hills Neighborhood Park., Neighborhoods 1, ll, 12 for neighborhood park
sites, Zachary Lane Area Playfield, Schmidt Lake Neighborhood Park., Timber Shores
Neighborhood Park, and Prudential Area Playfield. A majority of the Commissioners
Will attend the September 27 tour and desire to add to the list of sites Timbershores
trail and Fernbrook.
Public Information Plan
Director Born stated that the Advisory Commission is authorized by the City Council
to undertake the development and implementation of a Public,Information Program.
Proposals were received from The Story Teller, Media 70, and Friendship Production
and were scheduled to attend the Commission meeting for an individual interview..
Based upon the interviews, the PRAC voted to recommend contracting Friendship
Production to prepare, the Public Information Program. Director Born will forward
the recommendation to Council for action on September 10, 1979.
Completed Trails
Director Born stated that the Trail System Plan contemplates a total of approximately
80 miles.. Of the eighty miles, the City will have in place approximately 18 miles
of completed trail by December 31, 1979 with 2 miles of Regional, 1.11 miles of
Cross Community, N of Collector and 7 of Local corridor status..
Skating Arees 1979180
Director Born presented the Skating Areas for the 1979,80 season and indicated
that the Department will maintain four hockey rinks, three ponds, and twelve land-
based general skating areas in 1979. A request for a skating site was submitted
by Schmidt Lake residents for the 1979 season.. Director Born feels that at the time
ofthe neighborhood park development in 1981,.a general skating site for this
neighborhood shouldbe considered.
Mullan stated that he felt the Cavanaugh area and the west side of Medicine Lake
lacked sufficient skating areas. Director Born resporded.that these areas will be
taken and reviewed in terms of manpower and site availability,.
BAN CON/Pflaumwell Update
The BAN CON - Pflaumwell development proposals will be; forwarded from the PIanning
Commission to the City Council for Preliminary Plat approval on September 10, 1979,
Neighborhood Identification and Parks: Planning
Director Born stated that the adopted Walking and Driving Neighborhoods adequately
address Plymouth's park planning areas and that the Tier system of parks classif-
ications is adequate in most instances to identify and; plan park sites.. Director
Born recommended.
the continued use of the identified Walking and Driving Neighborhoods as planning
units for park and trails.
the continued use of the. Tier system and standards for parks definition,
designation and identification.
the continued use of the Trail System Plan for trails designation and location.
that the adopted park, trail and tier Flans be administered with a degree of
flexibility.
Director Born stated that endorsement by the. PRAC will reaffirm the park planning
concepts as park planning tools.
Analysis of Plyfleld Site Needs
Director Born prepared a detailed analysis of sites for suitability as Playfields.
Director- Born stated that:.
Land should be acquired in the Bass Lake Eagle Lake Neighborhood.
2. Central Park needs to be acquired and developed to balance out playfield
needs.
3.) Additional land needs to be acquired in the Elm Creek Driving Neighborhood to
balance out playfeld needs.
40 Major acreage deficiencies occur in Elm Creek, Middle East and Parker's
Lake/Kreatz Lake Neighborhoods.
Chesebrough distributed a hand-out to the: PRAC on the "Status Analysis of Plymouth
Neighborhood Parks", The analysis is taken from a standpoint of where the City is
presently and how well the City has done in providing parks. Chesebrough concludes
that
1.) The parks provide for surrounding neighborhood citizens reasonably well
but that some parks appear to be too large for the population level'.
2.) 25 Neighborhoods contain 93% of population and of these 25, only two are
lacking neighborhood parks while two others have undeveloped sites.
3. Do people really need a toddler park and are usage rates low?
4. Community parks can presumably serve both the community/neighborhood
functions.
5.) Some "Neighborhoods" probably don't needa Plymouth "Neighborhood Park".
This analysis was provided by Commissioner Chesebrough as; an effort to give PRAC
a personal evaluation on the Status, of Plymouth Neighborhood Parks. I;t was concluded
that these topics will be discussed in detail at the October meeting.
1980 - 1984 Parks Capital Improvement Program
Director Born discussed Projects and estimated costs for the 1980 - 1984 Parks
Capital lmprovement.Program. Funding options exist with one approach being to
utilize Bonds, Park Dedication Funds, Grants, Public Works Reserve Fund and. In Kind
donated services. A second approach employs the preceding funding sources except
deletes Bonding as a source of revenue.
Director Born recommends the 1980' 1984 Paries Capital Improvement Program be
fundedfromrevenue sources in, the amount of $4,565,000 as follows;.
Bond $1,458,508
Public Works Reserve Fund 1,250,000
Parks Dedication Fund 860,000
In Kind Service 488,370
Fund Balance; 258,122
Grants 250,000
4,565,000
Terry moved; Edwards seconded the Motion to endorse the Capital Improvement Program
recommendation and forward to the Planning Commission for review.
Chairman Rice asked if there were any educational forums within the State of Minnesota
on. park planning along with educational seminars. for the. Commissioners. Director
Born will obtain information onIARPA and will continue to present information to
the Commissioner's that comes into the Department which is relevant to Plymouth.
Chairman Rice moved to recommend to the Council for subscription to MRPA magazine
and materials for education.
Being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 10:50 p.m.

MEMO
TO James G. Willis, City Manager
FROM: Jon J. Born, Director of Parks and Recreation
SUBJECT; Analysis of Playfield Site Needs
Park plans for the City of Plymouth contemplate the, development of eight Play -
field sires to serve organized sports and athletic needs. To date a detailed
analysis of sites and suitability has not been made on either an individual or
composite basis. Exhibit A identifies. the proposed Playfield locations corres-
ponding to Driving Neighborhood designations.
Exhibit B, Table I lists the Driving Neighborhoods with present and proposed
populations and playfield proposed to serve the given geographic area. Present
population is estimated at approximately 30,000 people while the proposed
population for Plymouth at saturation limits is estimated at approximately
125,000 persons. A facility needs sufmery is identified on Exhibit B, Table
II. for Plymouth at the present and proposed population. In 1979, Plymouth
needs fifteen softball and five: baseball fields, six football fields, fifteen
tennis courts, ten hockey rinks and seven soccer fields. As a City, Plymouth is
deficient one football field and two hockey rinks for 1979/1980. All playfield
acreage computations based on 2.7 acres per 1,000 population.
The Driving Neighborhood and Playfield facility needs are analyzed in Exhibits
C.1 through C.6 in terms of present facilities and needs, saturation needs.
and playfield acres needed. An analysis of acreage needs at population satur-
ation indicates an acre deficiency of approximately 140 acres. This statistic
identifies the need to acquire and develop the Central Park site so as to be able
to meet Playfield needs at the population saturation level.
On a Driving Neighborhood basis, current facility deficiencies based on regional
standards occur as follows
Bassett Creek:
Softball Fields 1.5
Baseball Field 6
Elm Creek. -
Baseball Field 16
Football Field 2
Tennis Court 5
Hockey Rink 3
Soccer Field 2
Middle East:
Baseball Field 1.0
Football Field .5
Hockey Rink 2,0
Soccer Field .5
Parker's Lake;
softball Field 3.q
Baseball Field 2.0
Football Field 1..0
Tennis Courts:' 2.0
Hockey Rink 3.0
Soccer Field 2.0
When contemplating site acquisition and development, consideration must be
given not only to total facility needs but also to site and facility location
within.a given community. If site location is inaccessible or inconvenient,
the user will be, less inclined tousethe site or facility. Inappropriate
placement of sites plays a large role; in influencing maintenance and operations
and the associated costs..
Iconclude that
1 Selected facilities need to be builti in Bassett Creek, Middle East,
Parkers Lake/Kreatz Lake and Plymouth Creek Driving Neighborhoods
because, facility deficiencies occur in these Driving Neighborhoods:
2. Land should be acquired. to satisfy Playfield' needs in Bass Lake/Eagle
Lake, Elm Creek and Parkers Lake/Kreatz Lake Driving Neighborhoods:.
Priority should be given to Parkers Lake/Kreatz Lake and Middle East
Neighborhoods.
34 Acquisition and development of Central Park will satisfy acreage/facility
needs for Plymouth Creek, Middle East and Parkers Lake/Kreatz Lake
Driving Neighborhoods.

SUBJECT The Capital Improvements: Program and Park Planning Sequence
I recommend that 6- Capital Improvement Program/Parks Planning Sequence be
revised so that Pat k:c , Devel.apment can occur in a more orderly and timely manner
thereby helping to assure greater citizen satisfaction in the Parrs development
process.
Parks Develop,tent is linked directly to CapitalImprovement Program input,
review and adoption as well as citizen input, site surveys, consultant selection
and approval of development concepts. Parks planning begins with input to tht'
Capital Improvement Program and continues on through -to the administration of the
project, a period of approximately eighteen months,
Eighteen months is too long a period of time to expect park development, planning
and: construction to occur and at the same time, be responsive to citizen needs and
interests. Delays have occured in obtaining citizen input, developing the site
surveys, selecting, the consultants and preparing and reviewing the concepts,
I recommend that the timeline be revised to reflect a more compact sequence
beginning with: consultant selection and the preparation of a site feasibility
study coincidental to the adoption of the Capital Improvement Program so that
citizen input may be obtained earlier in the process and can be balanced with
the site feasibility study (Exhibit: B)..
Concept preparation and review by the FRAC, Council and citizens will be shortened.
up to the month of Februarywith concept revision occuring in February and March.
It is anticipated that authorization to bed can be received in March with bidding
occurring in March and April with contract administratinn beginning in April and
continuing until completed.

MINUTES
Brass ,roved and Chesebroucdh seconded the Motion to approve the August 2, 1979
minutes, Motion carried.
Cavanaugh Subdivision Petition;
Director Born reviewed the request from residents of the Cavanaugh Subdivision for
an open space for children, of the area to play.. Director Born: found no land owned
by the City that would be suitable for a ballfield at the present time, The City
is negotiating with owners of the Rembrandt property for acquisition. Play space
is being contemplated for the 1980/1984 Parks Capital Improvement Program along
Fernbrook Lane.
Rice asked how many residents resided in the Cavanaugh neighborhood and Director
Bornindicated that approximately seventy households were contained in the sub-
division. Brass commented that three years ago the residents of Cavanaugh had the
same request and at that time it: could not be granted for the same reasons. Director
Born said that in 1976 the park which is to serve that particular Neighborhoodwas
designed into the Central. Park Pian. Rice requ-tsted that an evaluation be made on
Neighborhood Park developm -t within the Cavanaugh area taking precedence in 1980/
1981 Park plans, Director Born commented that the Cavanaugh area is at this time.
fairly well developed but he would continue to look into the development of a.
park for the Cavanaugh area
Plymouth Athletic Association Hockey Request
The Plymouth Athletic Association is required to provide two hockey rinks for the.
1979/1980 hockey season. In 1977, the City of Plymouth authorized the Association
to use the Pilgrim Lane hockey rink on selected days during the hockey season. In.
1978 the Association requested that a second rink be provided and the Department
acquired the use of the Armstrong Sr. Highschool rink and building, Director Born
discussed three reasons why the Association,feels the Armstrong Highschool rink is
not adequate:,
1.) The lighting requires. a safer standard for the older youth to play
in being the puck travels at a higher speed.
t) The school building is too far in distance
utilized as a warming house facility,
3) Use of the facility by the highschoolteam
Association.
from the hockey rink to be
precludes scheduling by the
An option proposed by the Association is to renovate. Plymouth Junior Highschool hockey
rink. The cost for renovation will be approximately $7,000 and the Association will
pick up $1,000 of the cost with In Kind services. Director Born feels that renova-
tion of the Plymouth Junior Highschool rink is the most cost effective alternative
and he recommends that the Plymouth City Council be requested to authorize an ex-
penditure of up to $7,000 from the Park Dedication Fund for the renovation of the
site. Rice asked whether or not the renovation fits within the Department's overall
priorities and Director Born responded it is a priority within the existing area.
Thre#nen was concerned about the timeline if it were renovated and Director Born
said that it could be completed this season however it has to be authorized by the
Council and Board of Education.
Chesebrough stated that the funding should be analyzed and whether or not funding
comes out of that neighborhood area. He inquired where operation funds would; come
from with Director Born stating that the parks operations budget would pay for
operational costs, Since there is no school hockey team, the School Board has
no interest in participating in the improvement.
Rice stated that he felt there are features in this improvement which.would bring
about some positive thoughts. Not only would it establish initiative in working
closer with the Athletic Association but also by taking action, this would demon-
strate to schools involved that the City is trying to respond; to the Community's
needs,.
Threinen moved and Brass seconded the Motion to renovate Plymouth Junior Highschool
hockey rink as stated in Director Borns report.
Blue Ribbon Committee Report City of Minnetonka
Director Born reviewed the Report of the City of Minnetonka to study methods in
improving the coordination of Recreation Programs and to develop closer ties kvith
School 'Districts and adjacent communities as well as providing services through
private or semi -private agencies, Director Born said that the. City of Plymouth
already employs cooperative programming with other governmental agencies; private
or semi -private groups.
Rice stated the Commission appreciates the

Director Dorn stated that many Commissioners and Council members have: not had an
opportunity to familiarize themselves with future park sites and Director Born feels
that benefit can be obtained if a tour is taken. September 27, 1979 of specific:
sites. Director Born recommends the following sites to be seen during the tour:
Mission Hills Neighborhood Park., Neighborhoods 1, 11, 12 for neighborhood park
sites,: Zachary Lane Area Playfield; Schmidt. Lake Neighborhood Park, Timber Shores
Neighborhood Park., and. Prudential Area Playfield. A majority of the Commissioners
will attend the September 27 tour and desire to add to the list of sites Timbershores
trail and Fernbrook
Public Information, Plan
Director Born stated; that the Advisory Commission is authorized by the City Council
to undertake the development and implementation of a Public Information Program..
Proposals were received from The Story Teller, Media 70, and Friendship Production
and were scheduled: to attend.the; Commission meeting for an individuaal. interview,
Based 'upon the interviews, the PRAC voted to recommend contracting Friendship
Production; to prepare the Public Information Program, Director Born will forward
the recotmaendation to Council for action on. September 10, 1979,
Com+Ieted. Trails
Director Born stated that the Trail System Plan contemplates a total of approximately
80 miles, Of the eighty miles, the City will have in place approximately 13 miles
of completed trail by December 31, 1979 with 2 miles of Regional, 1 l miles of
Cross. Cormunity, 71t of Collector and 7 of Local corridor status.
Skating Areas 1979Z8D
Director Born presented the Skating Areas for the 1979/80 season and indicated
that the Department will maintain four hockey rinks, 'three ponds, and twelve land-
based general skating areas in 1979. A request for a skating site was submitted
by Schmidt lake residents for the 1979 season, Director Born feels that at the time
of the neighborhood park development in 1;981, a general skating site for this
neighborhood should be considered.
Mullan stated that he felt thA Cavanaugh area and the; west side of Medicine lake
lacked sufficient skating areas,. Director Born responded that these areas will be
taken and reviewed in terms of manpower and site availability,
BAN CON/Pflaumwell Update
The BAN CON -- Pflaumwell development proposals will be forwarded from the Planning
Commission, to the City Council for Preliminary Plat approval on September lO, 1979,.
Neighborhood identification and Parks Planner
Director Born stated that the adopted Walking and Driving Neighborhoods adequately
address Plymouth's park planning areas and that the Tier system of parks classif-
ications is adequate in most instances to identify and plan park sites. Dir-ector
Born recommended;
the continued use, of the identified Walking and Driving Neighborhoods as planning
units for park and trails.
the continued use of the Tier system
designation and identification.
the continued use of the Trail System
that the adopted park, trail and.tier
flexibility.,
and standards for parks definition,
Plan for trails designation and location,
Mans be administered with a degree of
Director Born stated that endorsement by the PRAC will reaffirm the park planning
concepts as park planning tools,
Analysis of'Playfield Site Needs
Director Born prepared a detailed analysis of sites for suitability as Playfields.
Director Born stated that:
1. Land should be acquired in. the Bass Lake - Cagle Lake Neighborhood.
2.) Central Park needs to be acquired and developed: to balance out playfield
needs.
8.) Additional land, needs to be acquired, in the Elm Creek Driving Neighborhood to
balance out playfield needs.
4.) Major acreage deficiencies occur in Elm Creek, Middle East and Parker's
LakeaKreatz Lake Neighborhoods.
Chcsebrough distributed a hand-out to the PRAC on the "Status Analysis of Plymouth
Neighborhood Parks". Thd analysis is taken from a standpoint of where the City is.
presently and how well the City has drone in providing parks. Chesebrough concludes
that.-
1.)
hat~
1.) The parks provide for surrounding neighborhood citizens reasonably well
but that some parks appear to be too lame for the population level.
2.) 25 Neighborhoods contain 93% of population and of these 25, only two are
lacking neighborhood parks while two others have: undeveloped sites:.
3. Do people really need a toddler park and are usage rates low?
4, Community parks can presumably serve both the community/neighborhood
functions.
5.) Some "Neighborhoods" probably don't needa Plymouth "Neighborhood Park"
This analysis was provided by Commissioner Chesebrough as an effort to give PRAC
a personal evaluation on the Status of Plymouth Neighborhood Parks. It was concluded
that these topics will be discussed in detail at the October meeting.
1980 1984 Parks Capital Improvement Program
Director Porn discussed Projects and estimated costs for the 1,980 - 1984 Parks
Capital rmprovertmnt Program. Funding options exist with one approach being to
utilize Bonds, Park Dedication Funds, Grants, Public Works Reserve Fund and In Kind,
donated services. A second approach employs the preceding funding sources except
delc4es Bonding as a source of revenue.
Director Born recommends the 1580 - 1984 Parks Capital Improvement Program be
funded from.revenue sources in the amount of $4,565,000 as follows;
Bond $1,458,508
Public Works Reserve Fund 1,250,000

recommendation and forward to the Planning Commission for review.
Chairman Rice asked if there. were any educational forums within the. State of Minnesota
on park planning along with educational seminars for the Commissioners. Director
Born will obtain information on 1MRPA and.will continue to present information to
the Commissioner's that comes into the Department which is relevant to Plymouth..
Chairman Rice moved to recommend to the Council for subscription to MRPA magazine

SUBJECT: 19,80 1984 Parks Capital Improvement Program
The Parks Capital Improvement.Program is used to provide for orderly growth in
Plymouth's park system commensurate with available funding and compatible with
the development of basic utility systems and population growth.
In order to facilitate the orderly development of the parks system for the 1980
to 1984 period, staff has developed the following listing of Parks Capital Improve-
ment Program Projects as well as estimated costs.

Multiple CIP funding options exist, however I believe that there are two feasible
funding options available for use. One approach utilizes revenues generated by a
combination of Bonds, Park Dedication Funds, Grants, Public Works Reserve Fund and
In Kind donated services (EXHIBIT A). A second approach employs the preceding
funding sources except deletes Bonding as a source of revenue (EXHIBIT 8).
funding approach utilizing a successful bond referendum will insure that needed
facilities are constructed during the 1980 -- 1984 Parks CIP period. The funding
approach not utilizing a bond referendum will require curtailment of expenditures.
in all areas of the Parks. CIP and will result in the lengthening of the time
required to complete the proposed pro ects.. The sources of revenue available
for this latter approach include the Parks Dedication Fund, $172,000; and the
Public Works Reserve Fund of $250,000 for an annual revenue total of ;422,,000.
In Kind donated services reflect costs associated with the playfield development
for Site Preparation, $110,200; Earthwork, $320,600; Finish Grading, $57,,570
totaling $488,370. This is work which can be accomplished by volunteer labor
such as the National Guard. During the 1980 0 1984 period, the Parks Dedication
Fund. is estimated to receive $860,000 in revenue from park dedication contribu-
tions and I estimate expenses balancing with the anticipated revenues.
The PRAC and I recommend the 1980 - 1984 Parks Capital Improvement Program funded

populations and playfield proposed to serve the given geographic area. Present
population is estimated at approximately 30,000 people while the proposed
population for Plymouth at saturation limits is estimated -at approximately
125,000 persons. A facility needs summary is identified on Exhibit B, Table
II for Plymouth at the present and proposed population. In 1979, Plymouth
needs fifteen softball and five baseball fields, six football fields, fifteen
tennis courts, ten hockey rinks and seven soccer fields. As a City, Plymouth is
deficient one football field and two hockey rinks for 1979/1.980.. All playfield
acreage computations based on 2.7 acres per 1,000 population,
The Driving Neighborhood and Playfield facility needs are analyzed in Exhibits
C.1 through C.6 in terms of present facili ies and needs, saturation deeds
and playfield acres needed.. An analysis of acreage needs at population satur-
ation indicates an acre deficiency of approximately 1.40 acres. This statistic
identifies the need to acquire and develop the Central. Park site sous to be able
to meet Playfield needs at the population saturation level..
On a Driving Neighborhood basis, current facility deficiencies based on regional
standards occur as follows:
Bassett Creek:
Softball Fields 1.5
Baseball Field 6
Elm Creek:
Baseball Field 16
Football Field 2
Tennis Court 5
Hockey Rink 3
Soccer Field 2
Middle East,
Baseball Field 1.0
Football Field .5
Hockey Rink 2.0.
Soccer Field .5
J
Parker's Lake;
Softball Field 3.0
Baseball Field 2.0
Football Field i .e
Tennis Courts 2.,0
Hockey Rink 3..0
Soccer Field 2.0
When contemplating site acquisition and development, consideration must be
given not only to total facility needs but also to site and facility location
within a given community. If site location, is inaccessible or inconvenient,
the user will be less inclined.to use the site or facility. Inappropriate
placement of sites plays a large role in influencing maintenance and operations
and the associated costs.
I conclude that.
1. Selected facilities need to be built in Bassett Creek, Middle East,
Parkers Lake/Kreatz Lake and Plymouth Creek Driving Neighborhoods
because facility deficiencies occur in. these Driving Neighborhoods.
Z. Land should be acquired to satisfy Playfield needs in Bass Lake/Eagle
Lake, Elm Creek and Parkers Lake/Kreatz Lake Driving Neighborhoods.
Priority should be given to Parkers Lake/Kreatz Lake and Middle East
Neighborhoods..
3. Acquisition and development of Central Park will satisfy acreage/facility
needs for Plymouth Greek, Middle East and, Parkers Lake/Kreatz Lake
Driving Meighborhoods..

MEMO
TO, James: G. Willis, City Manager
FROM: Jon J. Born, Director -of Parks and Recreation
SUBJECT. The Capital Improvements Program. and Park Planning Sequence
I recommend that the. Capital Improvement Program/Parks Planning Sequence be
revised so that Parks Development can occur in a more irderly and timely manner
thereby helping to assure greater citizen satisfaction in the Parks development
process.
Parks. Development is linked directly to Capital Improvement Program input,
review and adoption as well as citizen input, site surveys, consultant selection
and approval of development concepts. Parks planning begins with input to the
Capital Improvement Program and continues on through to the administration of the
project, a periodof approximately eighteen months.
Eighteen months is too hong a. period of time to expect park development, planning
and construction to occur and at the same time be responsive to citizen needs and
interests. Delays have occuredin obtaining citizen input, developing the site
surveys, selecting the consultants and preparing and reviewing the concepts..
I recommend that. the timeline be revised to reflect amore compact sequence
beginning with consultant selection and the preparation of a site feasibility
study coincidental to the adoption of the Capital Improvement Program so that
citizen input may be obtained earlier in the. process and can be balanced with
the site feasibility study (Exhibit 9).
Concept preparation and review by the FRAC, Council and citizens will be shortened
up to the month of February with concept revision occuring in February and March..
It is anticipated that authorization to bid can be received in March with bidding
occurring in March and April with contract administration beginning in April and
continuing until completed.

SUBJECT; Neighborhood Park Bids; Shiloh and Gleanloch
The 1979-83 Parks Capital Improvement Program contemplates the development of
Shiloh and Gleanloch Neighborhood Parks. Public input meetings have been conducted
by the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission and Council authorized the advertise-
ment and receipt of bids in September, 1979.
A single bid was received in September and rejected by Council on the recommendation
of staff as being severly in access of the Consultant's estimate of $76,087. Council
directed that the Parks project be rebid for construction to be completed in 1980.
The City Engineer and I have met with the Consultant and have revised the Specifica-
tions as appropriate and have; rebid the project for completion on May 31, 1980.
Bids were received on October 18, 1979 fro A five fi!-ms with base bids ranging from
85,086 to $117,107. Bidders and amount of their raspective bids include: London
Construction Co. ($85,086), Cedac, Inc. ($89,769.15), Tennis West, Ltd. ($90,508),
Midwest Cedar ($93,487), and C.S. McCrossen ($117,107).
Bid analysis by the consultants confirms that the low base bid and alternative bid
time completion and addition of top soil of Shiloh Park) was received from London
Construction Co. of Minneapolis. A verification of bidder qualifications reveals
no basis to reject the bid from London Construction Co. Jim London, of the London
Construction Co. states that the firm can begin construction within ten days after
contract execution. Irecommend that alternative bids for completion time and top
soil not be used with this contract on the basis of need and effective costs.
Consultant fees will incre4se from $7,940 to $8,734 as a result of additional plans/
specification printing costs and projected labor costs after January 1, 1980. The
Parks Dedication Fund Neighborhood Parks Account has a balance of $20,000 as of
June 30, 1975 and will have to be supplemented with the Ad 'Valorem contribution of
72,000 as contemplated in, the CIP.
It is srEy recommendation that Council:
Appro.ve Neighborhood Parks plans and specifications for project completion in
1980.
Accept the base bid from London Construction Company in the amount
of $85,086 for the construction of the Shiloh and Gleanloch Neighborhood Parks..
Approve Pevision of the contract with the con,'ulting firm from $7,940 to $8,734.
Authorize the City Attorney to prepare the appropriate contract documents.
Authorize the City Manager to execute the appropriate contract documents with
London Construction Co.
A r olution is attached for Council's adoption.

SUBJECT: 1979/80 Reforestation
The 1979 Shade Tree: Budget contemplates an expenditure of $20,000 for Reforestation
purposes. Council has authorized the advertisement for bids for the reforestation
of thirteen sites with 132 trees for an estimated cost: of $20,000.
On October 19, 1979, bids were received from six bidders representing a bid range
from $16,886.25 to $23,812. Bids were received from the following firms; Fair's
Farm Store ($16,886.25), Up a Tree ($19,225), Midland Nursery ($2.0,368), Dundee
Nursery ($21,633.62), Seefert's Nursery 02.1,700) and Lees Landscaping ($23,812).
Based upon an analysis of bids the low bid is received from Fair's Farm Store in the
amount of' $16,886-25. A verification of bidder qualifications reveals no grounds
to reject the low bid from Fair's Farm Store. of Osseo.
The City costs for 1979 Reforestation are estimated at $9,962.89 (base bid of
16,886.25 less the: State of Minnesota refund of $6,,923.36). Based upon bids received,
I recommend that Council approve the bid from Fair's Farm Store: in the amount of

MEMO
James G. Willis, City Manager
FROM, Joo.J. Born, Director of Parks and Recreation
SU BJECTt Regional Recreation Space Policy Plan.
The 'Metropolitan Council is responsible for preparing and revising the Regional
Recreation Open Space Policy Plan, The Commission is revising the Plan which was
adopted in 1974 and is encouraging public views by providing a series of forums
for discussion of issues related to the Plan.
The Commission's staff believes that the revised Plan should clarify the interre-
lationships of the various units of government which interact in the Regional Park
System. They have identified nine major issues for discussion relating to areas
of responsibility in the Regional Park System.
The fust major issue deals with the scope of the Plan and to what extent the Plan
should address local, recreation facilities. The Commission staff states that good
local recreation systems are important and the impact of local facilities on. the
Regional. System is substantial. The Council staff believes that the Council should
place greater emphasis on local recreation in the revised Plan.,
Issue number two addresses the definition of the Regional Park System which is
presently functional in nature while issue: number three deals with master plans for
Regional Recreation. Open Space and,who should be required to prepare and submit
such plans.
The fourth major issue concerns the number of implementing agencies in the Regional
Park. System while issue number five discusses operation in maintenance funding for
the Regional Park System. The, principle source of revenue for operation and main-
tenance is local property tax with the balance of revenues being derived from fees
and grants.
The Metropolitan Council staff is concerned with Regional Park Distribution and
whether the Plan should give priority to developing Regional Parks most accessible
to Metropolitan area residents or to protecting "outstanding" natural resources
within the area. Current policy planning gives top priority to the acquisition
and development of land in or near the fully developed part of the region for
r ,reati.on.
The seventh major issue deals with implementing the Regional Park System so that
the Council can insure that the implementing agencies can acquire and develop the
Regional Park System which the Council determines is needed. In some instances and
for various reasons, Municipalities have withheld consent and have thus stopped
acquisition: of land identified as needed in the Regional Park System.
The eighth major issue raises the question of whether the Capital Improvement.
Program for Regional Recreation Open Space should include all projects and all
sources of funds while the ninth major issue raises question regarding the use of
undeveloped land acquired for Regional Open Space purposes. Land. acquired for
Regional Recreation Open Space purposes is being used in a number of interim ways.
while acquisition of park sites is completed or until funds for the development
are available.
Revisions to the existing Pian will have impact upon local park and recreation
agencies and I have the following observations concerning the nine major issues,
addressed by the. Metropolitan Council Staff. The proposal places somewhat greater
emphasis on local recreation and raises considerations relating to formalizing
the review policies, formalizing current practices related, to reserving grants and
funds for areas and development and standardization between the various municipal
parks and facilities. I believe that a policy which encourages municipalities to
require reasonable land dedication for recreation is as important as uniform and
equitible park dedication policies within the Metropolitan area. I believe that
the Metropolitan Council should be a facilitator for local Park and Recreation
agencies as opposed to taking an active role in the adoption and administration
of local park and recreation plans. I believe the current recreation system
based on functional classification should be retained and the state legislature
should require the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to submit master
plans as well as management plans to the Metropolitan Council for State Parks in
the Metropolitan area. I am concerned that systems are being developed without.
adequate concern for long range operation and maintenance. It seems reasonable
that the Metropolitan Council and the Parks and. Open Space Commission should want
to limit the number of implementing agencies involved in the Regional and. Recreation
Open Space System. Although many municipalities have park facilities that serve
people who do not live in their communities, few have facilities that serve the
region to the same degree as the units in the Regional Park System. By not
designating additional implementing agencies the Metropolitan Council and Parks
and Open Space. Commission will be able to carry out their administrative role
more efficiently and effectively. I believe that no additional implementing agency
should be added unless a direct regional benefit can be substantiated.
I. believe that the Plan should address the issue of funding sources for operation
and maintenance of Regional Parks from the standpoint that the implementing agency
must submit at the time of acquisition or development the proposed plans for opera --
tion and maintenance as well as sources of revenue. I believe that raising and
sharing of Regibnal and State revenues for parks operation ana maintenance will estab-
lish a new precedent in this state which would not be in the best interests of the
tax payers. I think: more responsibility should be placed upon the implementing
agencies to prove the ability to not only acquire and develop a facility but to
maintain it in an approved fashion. With energy and economic concerns playing an
ever increasing role in park user site selection and satisfaction, I believe that
more of a balance be achieved in the objectives ofproviding accessibility and
quality" to the user. All efforts must be made at all governmental levels to
achieve cooperation so that the Regional Park System can be acquired and developed
with a minimum amount of negative impact with the, governmental agencies involved
Confrontations and misunderstandings can be overcome and avoided with an intensi-
fied effort of planning, communications and cooperation. I believe that the
Capital Improvement Program for the Regional and Recreation Open Space Plan should
include all projects and all sources of funds so that the true costs of the
system can be identified for zccurate planning purposes. Conversion or park lands
for uses other than park purposes should carefully consider the economic and eco-
logical values to be lost or gained by the conversion. I believe that land
acquired for park purposes be used for park purposes and that if the land is con-
sidered surplus; said lands should be returned to the original owner or heirs if
possible.
In evaluating grants applications from local municipalitiesjthe Open Space Commission
should evaluate on a comparative basis the Community's Fiscal Effort Index as well
as: contribution to the Fiscal Disparities Act. In order to provide for Plan and
Capital Improvements Program continuity, I would recommend: that the Plan and the
Capital Improvements Program: be revised every five years and that the five yeap
Capital Improvement Program be updated annually.

Multiple CIP funding options exist, nowever I believe that there are two feasible
funding options available for use:. One approach utilizes revenues generated by a

In Kind donated services (EXHIBIT A). A second approach eiWloys the preceding
funding sources except deletes Bonding as a source of revenue: (EXHIBIT S).
A funding approach utilizing a successful bond referendum will insure that needed
facilities are constructed during the 1980 1984 Parks CIP period. The funding
approach not utilizing a bond referendum will require curtailment of expenditures
in al.1 areas of the Parks CIP and will result in the lengthening of the time
required to complete the proposed projects with sources of revenue available from
the Parks Dedication Fund, and Ad Valorem. In Kind donated services reflect
costs associated with the playfield development for Site Preparation, $110,200;
Earthwork, $320,600; Finish Grading, $57,5.70 totaling $488_,370. This is work
which can be accompl;;hed by volunteer labor such as the National Guard. During
the 1980 1984 period', the Parks Dedication Fund is estimated to receive $860,000
in revenue from park dedication contributions and I estimate expenses balancing with
the anticipatedrevenues.
The PRAC and I recommend the 1980 - 1984 Parks Capital Improvement Program funded
from revenue sources in the amount of $4,565,000 as follows:

FROM: Jon J. Born, Director of Parks and Recreation
SUBJECT; Estimated Playfield Costs (Operational)
The 1980'- 1984 Parks Capital Improvement Program contemplates the acquisition and
development of several Playfield sites. The acquisition and development of park
sites results in increased operational costs for Park. Maintenance.
The Park Maintenance Plan adopted in 1978 establishes parks maintenance standards
for parks operations in Plymouth. Adoption of the Plan allows for uniform main-
tenance operations and facilitates. planning for operational costs for developing
park sites. Additional parks added to a system translates into additional per-
sonnel and non -personnel related expenses.
It is estimated that the typical, Playfield will have an annual total of approximately
75 manhours per acre invested in maintenance at a cost of $675 per acre based on a
9.00 per hour salary rate including, benefits. Materials and contractual services
are estimated at $413 per acre for a total of $1,088 per acre for salary and non
personnel costs..
The addition of four improved Piayfields (La Compte, Oakwood, Plymouth Junior
Highschool and Fernbrook Lane) to the developing park system from 1980 1984 will
result in the addition of approximately 60 acres. This acreage total translates.
into an addition of approximately 4,500 manhours at a cost of approximately $40,500
or 2,1 full: -time maintenance persons_. Additional park acres will result.in a.ddi
tional equipment requirements. The addition of 60 acres to the existing park
system is estimated to result in a, materials cost of $24,822. Total non -capital
costs for personnel; and materials is estimated at $65,322.

MEMO

FROW Jon J. Bbrn, Director of Parks and Recreation
SUBJECT: Estimated. Playfield Costs (Operational)
The 1080 1034 Parks Capital Improvement Program contemplates the acquisition and
development of several Playfield sites. The acquisition and development of park
sites results in increased operational oasts for Park Maintenance.
The Park Maintenance Plan adopted in 1978 establishes parks maintenance standards
for parks operations in Plymouth. Adoption of the Plan allows for uniform main-
tenance operations and facilitates planning for operational costs for developing
park sites. Additional parks. added to a system translates into additional per-
sonnel and non -personnel related expenses.
It is estimated that the typical Playfield.w.il.l have an annual total of approximately
75 uanhours per acre invested in maintenance at a, cost of $675 per acre based on a
9.00 per hour salary rate including benefits. Materials and contractual services
are estimated at $413 per acre for a total of $1,088 per acre for salary and non
personnel costs..
The addition of four improved Playfi.elds (La Compte, Oakwood., Plymouth Junior
Highschool. and. Fernbrook Lane) to the developing park system from 1980 1984 will
result in the addition of approximately 60 acres. This acreage total translates
into an addition of approximately 4,500 manhours at a cost of approximately $40,500
or 2.1 full-time maintenance persons. Additional park acres will result in addi-
tional equipment requirements. The addition of 60 acres to the existing park
system is estimated 'to result in a materials cost of $24,822. Total non -capital
costs for personnel and materials is estimated at $65,322.

TO., James G. Willis, City Manager
FROM: Jon J. Born, Director of Parks and Recreation
SUBJECT: Plymouth Junior Highschool Hockey Rink
The proposal to improve the Plymouth Junior Highschool hockey rink does not appear
to be financially or logistically feasible in 1979.
On September 10, 1979, the Plymouth City Council appropriated $7,000 to be expended
to improve the hockey rink, lights and install a warming house structure on the
Plymouth Junior Highschool site. The original plans contemplated leasing a
construction trailer to serve as a warming, house. Council expressed concerns that
no construction trailer was to be rented if heated by propane. Reservations were
expressed by others about the advisability of leasing a construction trailer due
to potential vandalism and the incidence of liability for property other than
the Ctty's. A structure heated by electricity of the type to be solid, highly stable and
resistant to vandalism and low in maintenance costs can be achieved in one of two
ways. One method is to fabricate a temporary unit which is removed after every
season and a second method is to install a structure similar to those at Pilgrim
Lane, Ridgenount and 04wood. Costs are estimated at approxiMately $1,200 for the
temporary unit and over $3,000 for the garage unit.
The Robbinsdale School District approved the request to improve the rink with
lighting and to install a warming house on the site provided that the utilities,
are metered separately from the school. The Board of Education indicated that.
all plans should. be coordinated with Mr. Robert. Grunsted, Principal of Plymouth
Junior Highschool. Mr. Grunsted's concerns related to separate utility metering,
location of the warming house in relation to activity use areas and underground
wiring so as not to disrupt activity areas. He indicated that it would be accept-
able with him to use the school structure for the electrical source and install
a, separate meter? between the school and she rink, lights and warming house.
Locating the warming house as close to the rink as possible is desirable with
Mr. Grunsted and Mr. Severud. (Athletic Director). Mr. Kleinbeck (City of Plymouth
Building Official) stated that a distance of 30 feet should exist between the
existing yard hydrant on. the school grounds, and any structure placed on the
grounds.
Mr. %sraelson of Northern States Power stated that double metering of a site is
not permissible and that a projected usage schedule will have to be prepared by the
City and submitted to NSP for review to ascertain construction costs. He further
indicated that the construction season for placing underground lines terminates on
October l of any year and if installed after that date on extra fee per foot is
levied. Mr. Israelson also stated that NSP will need a detailed site plan illus-
trating facility location as well as an easement from the School District corres-
ponding to the proposed line location.
I have discussed this issue with Mr. Lorin Stern ofthe Plymouth Athletic Asso-
ciation and because of costs and logistics I believe that the project can not be
undertaken in 1979 as. proposed. If improvement of the facility is to become a
reality, additional work needs to be done on the proposal to refine expenses and
logistics., I r`coomend that the proposal to improve the Plymouth Junior Highschool
hockey rink and lights be withdrawn for resubmission at a later date when the: issues
of costs and logistics can. be more adequately addressed.
As alternatives, it appears the rink and school can be used at Armstrong Senior
Highschool as was done in 1975-79. A second alternative would be to spend funds
to reconstruct the rink at La Gompte Park where a warminghouse and lighting
currently exists and where a rink is proposed as part of Playfield development.
