MEMO
0n Wednesday, March 24, 1 was paid a visit by Merry Gaasland, representing
the Cedar Ridge homeowners. Area, immediately north of Fernbrook Playfield.
Mr. Gaasland explained that he and a number of his neighbors had appeared
before the Planning Commission opposing rezoning the single family lois
immediately north and adjacent of the Fernbrook Playfield site.. Because
of the developer's contention that the playfield was detrimental to
the sale of single family lots at this location, Mr. Gaasland is interested
in finding out specifically what the City has planned for in terms of
long-range development and scheduling acrd use of the Fernbrook park,
site. I showed, him the overall concept plans that are currently being
developed for the entire Plymouth Creek complex and also the proposed
future additions at the Fernbrook Playfield site as proposed in the
overall concept plans. Based upon our discussion, I have outlined
what I think are the four main questions or areas of concern that he
would like to have the City address:
1. Has the City considered putting up a fence and/or screening along
the north edge of the park site?
2. Can we schedule the park site so that lights would be turned off
at approximately 9:00 p.m; each evening's
3. Would it be possible to have a stoplight installed on Fernbrook
Lane to allow children to safely cross the street from the
east side of Fernbrook?
4. They would be interested in having play equipment installed
at the site
Mr. Gaasland is a former Park and Recreation Advisory Commission member
from the City of Crystal and has pl ayF.d adult softball and volleyball
and other team sports for a number of years. He is well versed in the role
and expectations of athletics and recreation programs. He has requested
that his wife and, other members of the residential area be allowed to
appear before the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission on Thursday,,
April 1. I have informed him that his request would be approved and that
they would appear as the first thing on the agenda that evening.
its to: dames G. Willis

Page
arch 25, 1982
Subsequent to ry discussion with. Mr. Gaasland, I have met with Rick Busch
to go over our p~ posed schedules of the Fernbrook Playfield site for
1:982.. As you are aware, we have attemptedto remove adult athletics
from smaller facilities or facilities that a.re more readily suitable for
youth activities and to centralize as much of these activities at Fernbrook
Park as possible. In the future, we anticipate that the majority of
adult athletics will be located at the Zachary Play -field site. This is
appropriate because the site is, I feel., location wiz: and design wise,
more conducive to adult athletics.
With this in mind, we have taken necessary steps in order to schedule
Fernbrook so that two evenings a week our activities will end approximately
30 to 45 minutes earlier than would normally be anticipated. In order
to accomplish this, we will be transferring games to the north field #1
at the Plymouth Playfield site.
I will keep you informed of any further discussions that I have with the
Cedar Ridge residents, If you wish to discuss this with me, I will be
happy to meet with you at your convenience.:

TO:, Eric flank, Director of parks & Recreation
FROW James G. Willis, City Manager
SUBJECT FERNBR00K PARK
With respect, to your memo of March ZS dealing with your conversation
with Mir. Jerry Gaasland, representing the Cedar Ridge homeowner's
area, t have the following comments:;
1. I believe it is appropriate for Mr. Gaasland and/or his neigh-
bors to visit with FRAC with respect to their individual and
collective concerns;regardinq Fernbroe' Park.
2. 1 think it is highly unlikely that: the City would install a
stop light on t=ernbrook Lane any place south of County Road 9
and north of proposed 34th Avenue North.: Fernbrook Lane is
classified as a major thorouqhfare and as such, is designed to
carry traffic in a, north -south direction. Cross traffic,
includinq pedestrian. traffSc, should be minimal. lependinq.
upon development patterns in the area, there might be a future
need to mark a pedestrian crossing at some point, but that
point should be at a street intersection with. Fc:rnbrook Lane.
You may wish to contact FredMoore on this subject.
3. I think you should have FRAC address the issue of llghtinq park
fields during hours of low light or darkness. We cannot turn
off the lights at all our lighted fields by 9:00 p.m. To do
so would essentially negate the value of our investment. As
the community grows; I anticipate that there +111 be more pres-
sure on the lighted fields during the evening hours, and. as
such, those hours may have to be extended as originally contem-
plated to approximately 10:00 p.m. If we start making
individual concessions to neighbors adjacent to specific play -
fields and shift the activity to fields not yet receiving pres-
sure to reduce the lighting hours, we will find ourselves soon
In a difficult predicament.
Z would be glad to discuss this further with you if you desire.

PETITIONER:; 8-T Land Company
REQWST Revised RPUD Preliminary Plan, Final: Plan and Plat
LOCATION: Block 4, Cedar Ridge Plat 2, south. of 38th Avenue North,
and north of Fernbrook Lane.
CAJIDE PLAN CLASS: LA -2
BACKGROUND:
ZONING.
B -:T Land Company requests approval of a revision to the approved RPUD Plan and Final
Plat for Block 4, "Cedar Ridge Plat 2" The, area is currently platted for eight
single-family detached dwellings. The proposal calls for the eight lots to be
replatted into six logs for duplex units (a total of 12 units)
The RPUD Preliminary Plan was approved in 1978 for the deveionment of 97 single-family
lots and 13 duplex lots (26 units) for a total of 123 units. Subsequently the first
phase was final platted in 1978 consisting of 46 single-family lots and the 13 duplex
Lots (totaling 72 units). In 1979 "Cedar Ridge Plat 2" was final platted which
consisted of the remaining 51 single-family lots. The petitioner submitted Exhibit 'A'
describing their reasoning for the request.
A public hearing notice has been published and property owners of record within the
Cedar Ridge RPUD and within 500 feet of the RPUD boundaries have been notified.
ANALYSIS
The Development Review Committee finds the plans in order and offers the following
review comments;
1. The proposal calls for an increase of 4 units from what was original-
ly approved in 1978 (123) for a total of 123 units. the 127 units
translate to a density of 2.9 units per acre. The property is guided
LK -2 which would allow development from 3 to .5 'units per acre., The
conclusion is that the prep+Qed RPUD revision is within the density
established by the ;,`omprehensivc.Nlan.
2. Staff feels the proposed duplex unLts are compatible with the RPUD
development. The proposal calls for similar units to those already
constructed along County Road 9.

For the existing duplex units covenants were established in terms
of color and architectural design to Insure.theaopearanceof a
single-family dwelling. Staff recommends the covenants to be
amended to include the proposed duplex lots or similar covenants
be prepared for the revision area.
3. Also, any existing Homeowner Associations should be amended to in
elude the proposed revision area.,
4. The Park Dedication fees for the existing eight single-family lots
were paid as part of the "Cedar Ridge Plat 2" Flatting process. The
four additional Lots are subject. to Park Dedication Requirements.
5. Staff recommends the proposed duplex lots conform to the building
setbacks approved during the RPUD process. The setbacks: are 35 -ft.
front yard; 10 -ft. side yard; and, 10 -ft. read yard.
RECONWNDATION
Staff recommends approval of the RPUD Final Plan and Plat for"Cedar Ridge Plat 3"
subject to the requirements and conditions reflected, in the attached resolution.

STATEMENT OF PROPOSED REVISION,
The enclosed material is submitted for your review to support our request
for replatting Block 4, Cedar Ridge Plat Two. We propose to change the
eight single family detached lots, which are currently platted ?to six single
family twin homes with each unit situated on its own lot. This will result
in a net density increase of four units. This is the same concept used with
the thirteen twin homes in Cedar Ridge Plat One. Each twin home unit has its
own legal description and car, be marketed and sold separately. The concept has
proven successful and provides a compatible transition from active use areas
ie:, County Highway 9 and/or the City Parkland) to conventional single family
housing.
Our proposal will not alter the terrain, topography, street alignment or
existing utilities, but would substitute six buildings on rearranged lot.
Eines where eight buildings would have previously existed'. The original
Cedar Ridge PUD concept was approved at 2.7 "MOI." units per acre and this
modification would increase that to approximately 2.9 "MOL" units per acre.
Originally, this section of ground was Master Planned to accomodate three
to five units per acre.
We are requesting this replatting for two reasons. First, it is becoming
virtually impossible in todays economic climate to provide affordable
detached single family shelter for the average citizen. The bottom line is
that the lending institutions no longer are willing and/or able to provide
real estate financing with terms that the average citizen can qualify for.
We, however, are hopeful that this is a relatively short hived situation
and if this was our only concern would probably not request the replatting
at this time, However, our second concern became apparent last summer when
the City ball parks were completed and in use. The intensity of the lights
from that northwestern ball field came as an incredible shock to not only
ourselves, but the prospects who had the opportunity to view our subdivision
in the evening. At that time it became obvious that these lots would not
support the quality single family homes for which they were designed. The
customer simply will not pay $90,000 to $100,000 for a home on a property
which is subjected to chat intense an activity throughout the summer.
F:xif ii3rr A
2)
After examining the options,. we settled on the twin home concept since it
had already been introduced into this project and it does provide a suitable
buffer from a high --use County highway. We feel the twin harries can preserve
the integrity of our neighborhood and allow us to build a quality unit that
is compatible to. the quality single family units we have in the area. at
this: time. The attached units could be marketed; from $15,000 to $20,000 less
than. the detached single family. In essences this opens the door again to
families with incun*s between $27,000 to $33,000, providing the opportunity
for those folks to own their own homes.

Gopher State Vending Ogden Foods Carol J. Hoover

Minneapolis, MN 55419 Hopkins_, MN 55343 PO Box 622
Anoka, FIN 55303
The first two companies were the only two listed under "concessionnaires"
in the business yellow pages. Ms. Hoover has been licensed through the
City of Plymouth for vending from a mobile unit at the beach.
You will also find an affidavit of public notice of the bid information.
The published deadline has passed and we have no bid proposals.;
The most obvious alternative to an outside vendor is to run this service
to beach users. ourselves. 'This option has been taken by many of the
surrounding communities. I have talked to administrators at Maple
Grove, New Hope, South St.. Paul, Hennepin County Park Reserve and
Eden Prairie. All of their operations are either making a profit
or breaking even.
A proposed concession menu follows:
candy
chips
cecream bars
POR
popcorn
Sno cones
Stewart sandwiches
Equipment needs,
cash register ($160 rental)
flakes ice machine ($1400)
freezer (loaned)
microwave (loaned)
popcorn machine (5665-$919)
