The minutes of the: regular meeting of January_P 1980.were moved by Commissioner Mal lzn and secored by noting that the word "passed" in paragraph of the second page a c tinged horized. Minutes were approved. MINUTES R an Industrial Park/Trail Discussion fr. Al Shackman representing Ryan Construction Company presented information regarding the development of an industrial zoned 55 acre parcel and, discussed the hardship which the installation of a trail on this property would present. His major concerns were the, fact that trail improvements contomplat6,y the City would require. 1.) substantial additional grading; 2) disruption of landscaping already in place in the United Hardware parcel; 3) would affect holding ponds and create problems with obtaining Department of Natural Resources approval; 41 create security and marketability problems because the trails would allow public, access to the rear of industrial properties. Vice Chairperson Threinen suggested that the; trial originally scheduled for Nathan Lane north to the railroad tracks and then westerly south of the tracks across the parcel might be relocated to the 49th Avenue side and then up the westerly border of the parcel. Mr. Shackman indicated that this could be a viable consideration. Community Development director Tremere indicated that along the west side of the parcel, a 30-50 foot easement would be required and. wetlands in this area could entail a problem in developing the trail. Commissioner Mullan asked about the possibility of developing the trial up 'Nathan Lane to 51st Avenue cul-de-sac and then across the parcel westerly to, the west property litre and then north to the railroad tracks.: Community Development Director Tremere noted teat the Council requires an easement for roadway purposes in en east-west direction along Slst Avenue throughout the property. We Shackman questioned; the reasons why a trail along the west side of the property would have to be set in so far toward the anticipated huildim-a. Public Works Director Moore responded that the wetlands in this area would probably require that the grail meander unless the Department of Natural Resources would issue permits for paritial fill of this area. Rpouth Park and Recreation Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes February 7* 196 Page Comanunity Development Director Tremere clarified the definition of easement: and the fact that such easements do not have impact upon setbacks in commercial and industrial plats. Mr,, Shackman indicated the easements Mould have a negative impact on the site because of the spur tracks to be located throughout the site. Marketability, dangers in crossing the railroad tracks, including; the associated liability, and the effect on the united Hardware parcel were also among his concerns. Commissioner Chesebrough asked whether Mr. Shackma.n had a recommendation which he would endorse. Mr. Shackman suggested that the trail could he located on 49th Avenue and then move northerly farther, west of their parcel. Acting, Chairperson Threinen stated that in previous cases, it has clearly been established that variances to the trail plan have not occurred and that developers have been responsible for familiarizing themselves with the City's guide plans, particularly since they have been used by the City for some five years. Mr. Chuck Parsons, attorney for united Hardware, commented that his first had satisfied' all known City requirements and that the imposition of a trail now would cause problems and additional costs because of the disruption of inplace landscaping. Mr. Parsons commented that the trail along 49th Avenue perhaps would work out best since an: 80 ft• easement is required for this street. Community Development Director Tremere emphasized that the graphics shown by United Hardware and Ryan Construction assume construction. at the property line and, therefore, suggest. cuts in, landscapingw that likely would not be the case. He suggested that a meandering trail could minimize damange to existing; landscaping. A motion was made by Commissioner Mullan and seconded by Commissioner Brass that two alternatives be explored, by the staff in cooperation with the developers. including 1) developing the trail northerly along Nathan Lane to 51st Avenue and then westerly to the west border and then northerly to the railroad tracks; 2) that the trail he established oto the north boundary of 49th Avenue: easement and thence westerly to thewest side of the property and then northerly to the tracks.; Motion carried: 5 - 0 Staff was directed' to work with the developer to establish a reasonable routing for the trail through this parcel so impact upon wetlands would be minimized, for final approval. Approval of Priorities for Participation in Plymouth Athletic Programs Jane Thorston, Recreation Specialist, introduced a memorandum stating five priorities which the staff would use in determining which teams participated in Plymouth athletic programs. The motion was made by Barbara Edwards and seconded by John Mullan to approve the priorities with the following amendments< 1) Priority two to read: Those teams made up of at least 50% Plymouth residents and the rest full-time employees. 2) Priority number, three to read: Those teams madeup of one half Plymouth residents and' residents of bordering communities which do not offer that particular league. 3) Old priorities number four and six deleted and remaining priorities renumbered. Motion carried; 5 0 A motion was made by Commissioner Edwards, seconded by Commissioner Mullan to affirm the policy of charging teagnis a holding fee which is to he forfeited iii the team misrepresents team composition or violates any other Plymouth policy or ordinance relating to park f cil ities Plymouth.

As to the first issue, the athletic associations have provided a, fairly comprehensive list of facilities for each site. (See attached list.) While we all hope that all facilities listed can be constructed within budget limitations, it is essential that some form of consensus be reached between the various groups involved regarding faciliAies which would be the first to be excluded in the event that budget limitations occur. For this reason, I have.invited representatives from the athletic associations and school dis- tricts to attend the PRAC meeting to discuss this issue. i believe a large portion of the PRAC meeting should be set aside for this purpose so that by the end of the meeting we have a fair understanding of those facilities which would be excluded from initial construction if worst comes to worst. The following proposed park elements should be prioritized: 1. Irrigation systems 10. Soccer fields 2. Outfield fencing 11. Hockey rinks 3. P::rk perimeter fencing 12. General slating areas 4 Permanent vs. temporary facilities 13. Trails 5. Field lighting (above ground) 14. Tennis courts 6. Wiring and light bases (below ground) 15. Warming houses 7. Softball fields 16. Seedvs. sod' S. Football fields 17. Aglime 9. Baseball fields The Commission may wish to add items to this list. In the interest of saving time, it might be appropriate to review this list prior to the meeting and establisfi your own preliminary priorities Then, at the meeting, we can focus upon achieving consensus. For your information, I am including a list of the general staff priorities which were provided to the park consultant at a recent meeting. t R' l 1) La Ca to - ('approximately 5 acres) 1 hockey rink, 2 softball fields, general sating, warming house and tot lot area. 2) F1mouththJunior Hien School ( approximately 14 acres) 2 lighted hockey rinks, pleasure rink, I warming house, 4 lighted tennis courts 2 lighted soccer fields, 2 l i ghted football fi,el ds , and 3 lighted softbal l fields. 3} Oakwood Elementa - (approximately 18 acres) 1 lighted hockey rink, f warm n ous.e 1 general skating area, 2 additional lighted tennis courts, 3 lighted soccer/football, fields, 2 lighted softball, fields and 1 lighted baseball field. 4) Fernbrook Lane- (approximately 25 acres) 2 lighted hockey rinks, warming ouse, 1 general skating area, 1 lighted soccer/football field, 2 lighted softball fields, and,l lighted baseball field. 5) Zachary Lane (between 25 and 30 acres) 2 lighted hockey rinl 1 warming house, 4 lighted tennis courts, 2 lighted soccer/football fields, 2 lighted softball, fields and 2 lighted baseball Fields 6) Rid emnunt (between 16 and 18 acre t) lights for 2 existing hockey rn -1 ig-hts for 3 existing tennis courts, grading and drainage work, I warming house, 2-3 soccer/football fields 1 baseo 11 field and 2 softball fielde b y " s := ,, r'4",,'- A i4-1 ,O . -, tc l' s STAFF PRIORITIES FOR uOMMUSITY PLAYFIEL0 CONSTRUCTIOfY 1.

As to the first issue, the athletic associations have provided a fairly comprehensive list of facilities for each site. (See attache iist.) a While we all. hope that all facilities listed can be constructed within budget. limitations, it is: essentialthat some form of consensus be reached between the: various groups involved regarding facilities which would be the first to be excluded in the event that budget limitations occur. For this reason, I have invited representatives from the athletic associations and school dis- tr tts to attend the PRAC meeting to discuss this issue. I believe a large portion of the PRAC meeting should be set aside for this purpose so that by the end of the meeting we have a fair understanding of`those facilities which would be exclded from initial construction if worst comes to worst. The following proposed park elements should be prioritized: 1. Irrigation systems 10., Soccer fields Zi Outfield fencing 11. Hockey rinks 3. Park perimeter fencing 12. General skating areas 4. Permanent vs. temporary facilities 13. Trails S. Field lighting (above ground) 14. Tennis, courts 6. Wiring and light bases (below ground) 15. Warming houses 1. Softball fields 16. Seed vs. sod 841 Football fields 17 Agl' i me 9 Baseball fields The Commission may wish to add items to this list.. In the interest of gaving time, it might be appropriate to review this list prior to the meeting and 4 establish your own; preliminary priorities. Then, at the meeting, we can focus upon achieving consensus. For your information, I am including a list of the general staff priorities which were provided to the park consultant at a recent meeting. 1) La Co tete - (approximately 5 acres) 1 hockey rink, 2 softball fields, generalskating, warming house and tot lot area. 2) Plymouth Junior High School - (approximately 14 acres) 2 lighted hockey rinks., pleasure rink, Z warming house, 4 lighted tennis courts, Z I ighted soccer fields, 2; lighted football fields, and 3 lighted softball fields. 3) Oakwood Elements (approximately 18 acres) 1 lighted hockey rink, warm ng house, 'general skating area, 2 additional lighted tennis courts, 3 lighted soccer/football fields, 2 lighted softball fields and 1 lighted baseball field, 4) Fernbrook Lane - (approximately 2.5 acres) 2 lighted hockey rinks, warming -house, l general skating area, 1 lighted soccer/footbal;l field, 2 lighted softball fields, and 1 lighted baseball field'.. 5) Zachary Lane - (between. 25 and 30 acres) 2 lighted hockey rinks, 1 warming house, 4 lighted tennis courts, 2 lighted soccer/football fields, 2 lighted softball fields and 2 lighted baseball fields. 6) Rid mount- (between lb' and 18 acres) lights for 2 existing hockey rinks, lights for 3 existing tennis courts, grading and drainage work, 1 warmingg house, 2-3 soccer/football fields, l baseball field and 1 softbaell field. MINUTES Or THE REGULAR. MEETING OF THE PLYMOUTH PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORYCOMMISSION February 7 1980 The regular meeting of the P13mouth Park and Recreation Advisory Commission, was called to order by Vice Chairperson Threinen at 7:30 p.m. on February 7. 1980 in the City Council Council Chambers:, MEMBERS: Brass, Chesebrough Mullan, Threinen and Edwards. MEMBERS ABSENT Terry, . c_ OTHERS PRESENT: Jane Thorston, Recreation Specialist,, Fred Moore, City Engineer/ Director of Public Works, Blair Tremere, Director of Community Development, Frank Boyles, Administrative As istant.. The minutes of the regular meeting of January _, 1980,were moved by CommissiCaner Mullan and seconded by noting that the word "passed" in paragraph of the second page be changed to "authorized." Minutes were: approved. MINUTES'; gyan Industrial Park/Trail Discussion Mr. Al Shackman representing Ryan Construction Company presented information regarding the development of an industrial zoned F7 acre parcel and discussed, the hardship which the installation of a trail' on this propQr°ty would present., His major concerns were the fact that trail improvements contemplated by the. City would require 1) substantial additional grading; 2) disruption of iandscaping already in place in the United Hardware parcel; 3) would affect holding ponds and create problems with obtaining Department of Natural Resources approval; 4) create security and marketability problems because the trails would allow public access to the rear of industrial properties. Vice Chairperson. Threinen suggested' that the trial originally scheduled for Nathan Lane > north to the railroad tracks and then westerly south of the tracks across the parcel might to relocated to the 49th Avenue side and then up the westerly border of the parcel. Mr. Shackman indicated that this could be a viable consideration. Community Development Director Tremere i`ndica.ted that along the west side of the parcel, a 30-50 foot easement would be required and wetlands in this area, could' entail a problem in developing the trail Commissioner Mullan asked about the possibility of developing the trial up Nathan Lane to 51st Avenue cul-de-sac and then across the parcel westerly to the west property line and then north to the railroad tracks. Community Development Director Tremere noted that the Council requires an easement for roadway purposes in an east -west; direction along 51st Avenue throughout the property. Fir., Shackman questioned the reasons why a trail along the west side of the property would have to be set in so far toward the anticipated buildings. Public Works Director Moore responded that the wetlands in this area would probably require that the trail meander unless the pepartment.of Natural Resources would issue permits for paritial fill of this area. Pfymouth mark and Recreation Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes February 7, 198Q Page 2 Community Development Director Tremere clarified the definition of easement and the fact that such easements do not have impact upon setbacks in commercial and industrial plats. Mr. Shackman indicated the easements would have a negative impact on the site because of the, spur tracks to be located throughout the site. Marketability, dangers in crossing the railroad tracks, including the associated liability, and the effect on the United Hardware parcel were also among his concerns. Commissioner Chesebrough asked whether Mr. Shackman had a recommendation which he would endorse. Mr.. Shackman suggested that the trail could be located on 49th Avenue and thers move northerly farther west of their pat -eel. Acting Chairperson. Threinen stated that in previous cases it has clearly been established that variances to the trail plan have not occurred and that developers have been responsible for familiarizing themselves with the, City's guide plans, particularly since they have been used by the City for some five years. Mr. Chuck Parsons, attorney for United Hardware, commented that his firm had satisfied all known City requirements and that the imposition of a trail now would cause problems and, additional costs because of the disruption of inplace landscaping. Mr. Parsons commented' that the trail along 49th Avenue perhaps would work out best since an BQ ft. easement is required for this street. Community Development Director Tremere emphasized that the graphics shown by United Hardware and Ryan Construction assume construction at the property line and, therefore, suggest cuts in landscaping, that likely would not be the case. He suggested that a meandering trail could minimize damange to existing 1 and scapi ng. A motion was made by Commissioner Mullan and seconded by Commissioner Brass that two alternatives be explored by the staff in cooperation with the developers including lj developing the trail northerly along Nathan Lane to 51st Avenue and then westerly, to the west border and then northerly to the railroad tracks; 2) that the trail be established on the north boundary of 49th Avenue easement and thence westerly to the west side of the property and then northerly to the tracks.. Motion carried; 5 0 Staff was directed to work with the G ivvloper to establish a reasonable routing for the trail through this parcel so i ppa t upon wetlands would be Minimized,-fer ral aji}!1"f?PT1- Vi 4 „.. i , ' *4 t•r +,. k,° , ' t r r Approval of Priorities for Participation in Plymouth Athletic Programs Jane Thorston, Recreation Specialist, introduced' a memorandum stating five priorities which the staff world use in determining which teams participated in Plymouth athletic programs.

Plymouth Park and Recreation Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes February 70 1930 Page Community Playfield Consultant Selection Process Vice Chairperson Threi nen reviewed the staff memorandum suggesting a consultant selection process for the anticipated Community Playfield project. Commissioners Threinen, Brass and Mullan were asked to serve on,a sub -committee; which Wuld ultimately make: a recommendation for selection to City Council by February 25 Community Playfie.ld Fact Sheet Mr. Len *wiede of the Plymouth Athletic Association described the fact sheet; to the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission which will be used as a door to door drop sheet" for providing Plymouth residents with infornrat:ion about the upcoming special bond election. He indicated that Association representatives will be getting together to look at their schedules and territories for presenting information on this topic. The Park and Recreation Advisory Commission reviewed the contents of the fact sheet including thefacilities proposed for development in each park. Mr. Thiede suggested that it would be valuable to have City representatives, including Councilmembers:, Commissioners and staff, present at homeowners association meetings when requested to provide background detail on this issue.- The Park and Recreation Advisory Commission agreed that it would be appropriate; for City representatives to act as resources when requested'. Community Playfield Reference Guide The Park and Recreation Advisory Commission ,reviewed the contents of the final draft. of the community pl'ayfield reference guide as amended.. The reference: guide was designed to provide staff members, commissioners and Councilmembers with basic reference information about the Plymouth park system and reiated topics :in the event they are requested to provide information on the bond issue. The Commission adopted the reference guide and recommended that it be submitted to the City Council at their February 25 meeting for final approval and implementation. Meeting was adjourned at 10:30 p.m.
