FROM; Eric Blank
SUBJECT: Capital Improvements - Fencing Projects/Plymouth Creek and Zachary Playfields
BACKGROUND The current CIP includes $24,500 for the construction of
fencing along the boundary of the Plymouth Creek Playfield running from
rernbrock Lane westerly to the end of the residential housing on the,
north border of the playfield. It also includes money for the perimeter
fencing for two of the five ballfields at the Zachary Lane Playfield,
In order to get these projects out for bid and installed in a titmely
manner, itis necessary that we begin writing the specifications and
going out for bids as soon as possible. We hope to have these projects
completed by Saturday, June 4, which has now been scheduled; for the grand
opening event of the Zachary Lane Playfield.
RECOMMENDATION: I would recommend the Park and Recreation Advisory
Commission endorse the projects of fencing the north boundary at Plyoouth
Creek Playfield and two ballfiolds at the Zachary Playfield site to the
City Council and that the proper funds from the Park Dedication Account
be transferred to the Construction Account for these projects.

TO:: James G, Willis, City Manager
FROM: Eric Blank, Park and Recreation Director
SUBJECT: Purchase of Lane - West Medicine Lake City Park
SUMMAR" The attached resolution approves the ptkrchase of one-half of lot
5 and all of lot b of Elmhurst's Gateway Addition... This acquisition will be for
inclusion in the West Medicine Lake City Park.
BACKGROUND: Last: week, Dave and Kathy Neiber applied to the building department
for a permit to build a single family detached dwelling on,kne-half of lot 5
and all of lot 6 of Elmhurst's Gateway Znd Additi 4 The street address for the
new home would be 11820 18th Avenue North. On Friday, of last week building
official Al Kleinbeck made this application known to me. Friday afternoon
and Saturday morning I attempted to contact Mrs. Thulander, the owner on record
of the property, at this time. To date I have been unable to make contact
with, Mrs. Thulander with regard to her disposition of this property.
In reviewing this situation I find that a split of lot #5 dividing
equally half between Lots 4 and 6 took place in July, 1981. It was approximately
July, 1982, Ciat the Park and Recreation Commission and City Council approved
the concept plan prepared; by Brauer and Associates for West Medic ne 1..%e City
Park which shows the inclusion of all properties north of 18th Aveitue and east
of Forestview to be included in the future West T42dicine Lake City Park.
Although we have taken steps by way of a LAWCON%LCMR grant to acquire three
parcels of property within this park: during 1983, we had not proceeded to hook at
the acquisition of any of the property along 18th Avenue at this time. I
believe this matter warrants City Council review at this time prior to the addition
of any new housing which would eventually need to be acquired at a much greater
cost by the City if we wish to fulfill the current concept plan for this park.
As per conversations with you earlier this week, 1 have contacted Mr. and
Mrs. Neiber with regard to the City's interest in this property. I explained
to them that they had every right to come in and pick up their building permit
and begin construction on. their home if they so choose. On the other hand, I
explained that the City would consider possibly purchasing the lot from them
ifthat was an idea. that they would consider. They called me back yesterday
and indicateda willingness to sell the property to the. City for a price of
18`,500. Based on information supplied to Dick: Pouliot, who has recently
been acquiring right-of-way for. 18th. Avenue, he feels that this is a.fair
market price for property in this general area. A comparable lot across, the
street on the south side of 18th Avenue was recently valued at $20,000.
I have enclosed three attachments for your review. The first one is the
general park concept plan approved,by the City Council in 1982, the second one
is a plat map showing the outline of the proposed West Medicine Lake City
Park and the third one is a blow up of the plats along 18th Avenue. Lot 1
is currently owned by the City for park purposes, Lot 2 which is not shown
was divided equally between Lots 1 and 3, Lot 3 as numbered currently has a
single-family dwelling on it, tot 4 currently has a single family dwelling on
it. Lot 5 again, was divided equally between Lot 4 and Lot 6 in 1981. Lot 6
as numbered is the property proposed to be acquired from Mr.. and Mrs. Neiber
at this time. Lots 7 and 8 as combined are proposed to be acquired for park
at sometime in the future.
RECOMMENDATION: Rased on the information that we have available at this time
including the concept plan for West Medicine Lake City Park, the widening of
18th Avenue and the future plans to possibly relocate ',Jest Medicine Lake Drive
along the alignment of Forestvew Lane, I think that it would be advisable for
the City Council to authorize the. acquisition of this vacant parcel of land
at this time to insure that the City would not incur a greater cost sometime in.
the future in order to accomplish the overall plans for future roads and. park.
development in this. area. The funding for this project will come from the
Park Dedication Funds, City Parks, Playfields and Trails Account. The current
CIP has $75,000 of City money set aside to use as matching money to acquire three
other parcels within West Medicine Lake City Park. These acquisitions are currently
on hold waiting for the iegislature to fund or not fund the LCMR grant program for
1984.

The first issue which needs,to be addressed is the size and shape of the

are above the 100 -year 'flood plain. The Comprehensive Park System Plan,
recently adopted by PRAC and the City Council indicates an area of approxi-
mately six to seven acres of park above the 100 -year flood plain located'
in this area. The rationale for choosing this site, as you will recall,
was that it is one of few remaining wooded areas in this general vicinity
of Plymouth. This development plan would call for introducing one cul-de-sac
road with approximately six houses located on the cul-de-sac, fully developed
within the wooded area, and then another series of homes that would be more
or less built in the woods itself fronting onto the most northerly east -west
residential street I suggest that PRAC recommend to the City Council
that the developer be requested to work: with City -staff to re -analyze this
area and develop -a new concpt plan which would preserve greater portions
of the wooded areaa
Issue number two is the trail connection between Dunkirk Laie and. Vicksburg
Lane. Currently, the developer shows the grail running southward behind
the Cimarron Ponds townhouses and tying in with the existing trail on
Vicksburg Lane at approximately 18th Avenue. Unless the developer has some
compelling reason for making this type of adjustment, I think it would be
more reasonable to direct the trail to go straight across and tie into the
Vicksburg Lane trail at: a 90 -degree angle.

FROW Eric. Blank 1
SUBJECT Parkers Lake Planned Development
Representatives of Lundgren Bros. Construction who are doing the site planning
for this project for the City of Minneapolis will be present at the Park and
Recreation Advisory Commission meeting to help the Commission review the
ark component of this 400+ acre development. This project is in Phase I
or Concept Phase of review at this time. The project will be followed by
preliminary plat and final plat stages on all areas of the development.
PRAC's job is to review the park, open space and trails component of the
plan. Staff has been working with Lundgren. Bros: for some time on the
development of these, concept plans. There are five areas of concern which
I have outlined below with regard to the concept plan as it is currently
presented.. I have met with representatives of Lundgren Bros. to review
my concerns so that they are well aware of what they are.
The first issue which needs,to be addressed is the size and shape of the
neighborhood park site located in the northwest quadrant of the development.
along Dunkirk. Lane just south of 25th Avenue:. The current proposal shows
a gross park area of approximately 14.8 acres, Of this, only Z.3 acres.
are above the 100 -year 'flood plain. The Comprehensive Park System Plan,
recently adopted by PRAC and the City Council indicates an area of approxi-
mately six to seven acres of park above the 100 -year flood plain located'
in this area. The rationale for choosing this site, as you will recall,
was that it is one of few remaining wooded areas in this general vicinity
of Plymouth. This development plan would call for introducing one cul-de-sac
road with approximately six houses located on the cul-de-sac, fully developed
within the wooded area, and then another series of homes that would be more
or less built in the woods itself fronting onto the most northerly east -west
residential street I suggest that PRAC recommend to the City Council
that the developer be requested to work: with City -staff to re -analyze this
area and develop -a new concpt plan which would preserve greater portions
of the wooded areaa
Issue number two is the trail connection between Dunkirk Laie and. Vicksburg
Lane. Currently, the developer shows the grail running southward behind
the Cimarron Ponds townhouses and tying in with the existing trail on
Vicksburg Lane at approximately 18th Avenue. Unless the developer has some
compelling reason for making this type of adjustment, I think it would be
more reasonable to direct the trail to go straight across and tie into the
Vicksburg Lane trail at: a 90 -degree angle.
Parkers Lake Planned Development

February 7. 1983
Issue number three is that I feel it is necessary to have a northerly trail
access from the middle neighborhood park site located half -way between
Vicksburg and Niagara lane. This will allow the residential areas north
of what is approximately 21st Avenue to have access to the park, site and
the trail system leading down to Parkers bake City Park.,
Issue number four is the playfield site located adjacent to.County 'toad &.
The current concept plan calls for a chunk of residential property to stick
out into the playfield From looking at the topographic map, this appears
to be a small nob or high area. tlY reaction from our experience with the
other playfields is that it would be inappropriate to have residential
housing surrounded on three sides by high -use playfields. I would recommend
that the boundary line be straightened on the Nest side of the playfield.
Issue number five is that the current concept plan shows a piece of property
lying just south of the railroad track and,west of Shenandoah Lane as being
included in the park property4 i think that the railroad track is the
proper south boundary for the expansion of the park and that this parcel,
because it is surrounded on two or three sides by residential property,
would more fittingly be developed as single-family homes or something
such as that. I would', therefore, recommend: that the concept plan not
show it as part of the City park:.
Qther -than these comments, I find that the concept plan is generally in
accordance with the overall City Comprehensive Park System Plan and would
suggest the Park Commission recommend to the City Council concurrence,
subject to correction of those matters outlined above.,

TO. PRAC
FROM; Eric Blank So
SU B EGT,. Plymouth Creek Estates Concept Plan Approval
Charles Belgarde has made application for concept plan aye guide plan
amendment for Plymouth Creek Estates, This project i5 located just
west of Fernbrook Lane and north of 34th Avenue. The current guiding
on this property indicates that approximately 60 of the 78 acres would
be used for public/semi-public use, As. you are aware, for many years
the City has contemplated a major portion of this site to be included
within. Plymouth Creek City Park.: As I have indicated to you in the past,
City staff has been working with Mr. Belgarde's planners from Howard
Dahlgren and Associates on reaching a compromise on exactly what park
acreage is needed to complete the development of Plymouth Creek Park.
I believe the concept Flan as shown on the attached graphic will meet
the overall future needs for Plymouth. Creek Park. This plan calls for
approximately 34+ acres to be dedicated for the use of pk k. With the
recently approved concept plan for Plymouth Creek. Park,. the nature of
the old Central Park has changed dramatically from a very active, pre-
dominantly playfield-dominated park to a more open, natural, passive -type
park. Because we have recently developed 106 acres of playfields scattered
throughout x sites are°ind Plymouth, I think it is fair to assume that the
shrinkin- 1b the acreage of Plymouth Creek. Park, by approximately 26 acres,
will nod in any way, harm the overall concept plan or system plan for the
total f y of Plymouth. Other than two minor adjustments or two northerly
boundary property lines on Outlots 1, 2 and 3 which we would handle at the
preliminary plat stage, I feel that this plan is an excellent one with
respect to the City's park needs. I have had the property lines for
Outlots 1, 2 and 3 and 34th Avenue staked and have personally walked those
property lines for inspection to insure that the views, vistas, grades and
the general: lay of the land and vegetation are in conformance with cur
existing concept plans. The only change that.will be necessary is that.
the activities center will shift approximately 300 feet further west than
is shown on the approved concept plan at this time. This shift would still
allow the activities center to make use of the large knoll or hili area
so that if we choose to set the building down into the ground, we can have
either a south, west or north exposure.
Mr. John _Uban of Howard Dahlgren and Associates will be at the meeting to
answer any of your questions. I wound recommend the Park and Recreation
Advisory Commission recommend to the City Council that the concept plan
for Plymouth Creek Estates is in conformance with the total. Comprehensive
Park System Plan and recommend its approval.

RF Pending FY '83 LCMP, local Outdoor Recreation Grant
Gear Mr. Biank:
This letter is intended to supply you with iofort'ation regardina the
disposition of your pending FY '83 LCMR Outdoor Recreation Grant.
In early December the State Legislature was called intra special session
to act on the most recent budget deficit. Unfortunately, when necessary
budget cuts were made, funding for all FY '83 local par': projects (yours
among them) was cut. Although this information certainly cannot be con-
sidered good news, it is too early to give up hope of receiving a grant.
The LCMR Biennial Budget for Fiscal Years 1984 and 1985 will be con-
sidered by the legislature at their current legislative session.
Included among the total LCMR program request is a four million dollar
appropriation for a local park. grant program. If there are no further
budget deficits, we are optimistic that the proposed appropriation for
FY '84 would be used to finance the FY '83 projects --,Yours included.
Because F, '84 begins July 1, 1983, grants could be railed to local
sponsors sometime around midsummer.
It is our hope that this letter has provided you with a clear update on
the current situation. There are stillmany uncertainties, but as more
information becomes available we will pass it along to you.
If you have any questions, br- iure to write or call ur, at (612) 296-4703.
Sincerely,
Jeff Hanson, Grant Supervisor

FROM: Eric Blank
SUBJECT: 3.2 Beer Permits - Zachary and Plymouth Creek Parks
Background: On March 15, 1982, the City Council approved at your recommendation
the authorization to have special 3.2 beer permits issued at the Zachary Lane
and Plymouth Creek Parks. This policy was to be given a one-year trial and then be
reviewed again by the City Council before it was to be implemented for the year 1983.
1 have attached for your review a chart showing the tournaments that were run or
cancelled during 1982.. A cross-check 5y the Public Safety Department has indicated
that there were no calls received by them which in any way related to a softball
tournament being conducted at Plymouth Creek Park during '982. Also, with regard to
the question of maintenance and clean up, because we anticipated the problem of
extra cups being around the park, we were able to distribute extra barrels lined with
plastic bags for these weekend tournaments. We had a staff member of our own in the
park during the tournament. When the barrels were full, he would simply take the
plastic lining out, tie it at the top, and iAsert a new lining in the barrel, thereby
we always had plenty of trash receptacles for the plastic cups. Each tournament
sponsor was briefed before -hand that in order to receive their park deposit refund,
they had to patrol the grounds and make sure that there was no extra litter caused
by their tournament and the "sale of 3.2 beer. Our review from Park Maintenance
indicates that on Monday mornings after these tournaments, there was very little, if
any litter, because tournament sponsors, in all cases, took it upon themselves
to patrol and clean the park.
As you can see from reviewing the chart, the tournaments that appeared to
be most profitable were the ones run by the City. This has to do with the fact
that we attracted more teams for the tournaments that we sponsored. We took in
a net profit just over $1200 from our two tournaments. Other tournaments, although
th.e-,3 did not fare as well, even without the sale of beer, were clearing between
200 and $400 per event.
RECOMMENDATION: Because of the success that we had with our 1982 softball
tournament events, I would recommend that PRAC endorse the idea of continuing
tate, sale of 3.2 beer by special permit only throughout the Plymouth Creek City
Park and/or the Zachary Lane playfi'eld. We will continue to closely monitor and
to supervise all such events to make sure that they are conducted with only
the highest level of conduct permissable. The same format: for rules and regulations
as was conducted in 1982 will be carried out in the future including liability and
dram shop insurance' eing taken out by all special permit holders.
