S. UNFINISHED ,DUS`INESS
a. Green.G-ks Park - Relocation of Play Equipment. Paul Fjare of Brauer
and Associates reviewed his recommendation to staff and explained the
criteria used in recommending site B, as shown in his memo dated
July 1, 1986. Commissioner Reed asked how site, B fits the criteria
and Paul Fjare. responded that it is adjacent to other activity areas
in the park, it is accessible by the trail and visually accessible
by the residents, it is safe, the entire play area can be moved to
this location, it does not intrude on other park users, and it is
a very neutral location.
Rich Vandertord, 2615 Zircon Lane, had some objections to the map
that: was used to determine the new site;. He felt contours were
incorrect and that the play equipment was _too -large to fit entirely
in site B. Staff responded that equipment would fit in site B
without any problems. Mr. Vanderford then asked if pea gravel base
would, be replaced with sand, and Paul Fjare stated that pea gravel
is much safer than sand because it is a better cushion against falls,
it does not stick to children's clothing the way sand does, and it
cannot be tracked into the house like sand can.
Ruth Nelson is concerned with, equipment being placed into the hill
In the center of the parks S13e feels that this would create a.
bandiahell, effect She recommends placing it on a flat surface.
and s:a';2d that site B would be approximately the length of a
all:r eld away from her home. She lives on the southeast corner
je park.
r Pr%3en favored relocatii-ig the equipment and was generally
about site B.
July 10, 1986, PRAC Minutes
Page 22
Commissioner LaTour favored site B and supports placing equipment on
a flat surface and not, cutting it into the hill.
Commissioner Rosen asked how close equipment will come to the northwest
corner of the park if placed at site B.
Rock Vanderford questioned if any other sketches of the proposed loco --
tion Gould be sent to the City Council. Chair Edwards responded no.
Director Blank indicated. that staff would be willing to go to the park
and spray paint an outline of the area where the equipment will be
placed in order to assist residents in visualizing placement.

TO: PARK COMMISSION AND BOARD MEMBERS
The Minnesota Recreation and. Park Association is meeting in
Duluth September 24-26. The professional staff in your area are
active members in the organization.. You may or may not be a.
member depending on your board, but there are many worthwhile
events for you in Duluth and especially a breakfast session on
Thursday just for commission and board members. We hope to'see_
you there.
We come from different local situations and some of us are
elected and some appointed. What we have in common is our love
of parks and our interest in raving the best we can in our
community. Some of the park staff people like and use their
boards for the goal of the community, but some view boards as
unessential and a problem. We need to be viewed as a best friend
and not as difficult meddlers.
We hope that we can present some ideas that are valuable for you
to take home. In the past few years new problems have come
before boards rising insurance rates bond issues, park
planning. Our goal is to address these policy issues.
We had a meeting in the Twin Cities area last spring. It was a.
first meeting with other commission and board members for most of
those attending. We all went home encouraged and interested in
meeting again. Another meeting has been scheduled for November
11 for all who would like to attend.
I hope to meet you in Duluth and hear about what's working for
you and what Minnesota Recreation and Park Association can do for
you.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT. NEXT MEETING
The City Council, at their July 21 meeting, were unable to reach a consensus
on the relocation of the play equipment at the Green Oaks Park. They have
directed that the Par17 ind Recreation Advisory Commission. hold another
public meeting to diss.iss with area residents the best site for relocating
the equipment. Chair Edwards has decided that we will proceed with our
normal date of August 14 to hold this public meeting. I have included
for your review the Council minutes from July 21st,
The City Council, upon reviewing proposed trail alignments next to roads
with safety problems, directed that the Park and Recreation Advisory
Commission look at advancing the construction of trails along Highway 101,
Fernbrook Lane and Zachary Lane. They hope to proceed as quickly as
possible, including this year, with the Fernbrook Lane trail.. I will
make a presentation to you on this subject at the meeting.
I have also enclosed for your review a large scale map of Plymouth Creek
Park. Highlighted in pink is the actual construction of 34th Avenue,
and I have also highlighted the boundaries of the Tipton Apartment Complex
as it relates to the actual park. As you will recall, it was the assignment
of each commissioner to walk the park area and become familiar with the
overall property and the existing constructed Plymouth Creek playfield.
If you have any questions about any of these subjects, please do not
hesitate to give me a call. if you are unable to attend the meeting
on the 14th, please notify Nancy, so we will know in advance the attendance
for this meeting.

Mr. Ejare answered that the ielghbors were positive.
Councllmeber Sisk stated he doesn't believe a concensus can be
reached with the ne,,labors and that a public hearing should be
head by PPAC. He does not want to move the equipment until a
concensus, can be reAched or doesn't believe the equipment should
be moved at all. Possibly berming or landscaping should be
tried arot-t d 't -he, present location.
Councilmember Crain stated he believes the, equipment should be
Moved but h,, agrees that a concensus probably will not by reach-
ed. Site A is; unacceptable; the most reasonable locaticn would

SUBJECT". Proposed Trails Involving Safety Consideratioas
On the attached map, shown in red,; is the approximate location of the
proposed trails involving safety considerations, In each case, we are
looking at a roadway that has a large volume of traffic on it and. traffic
speeds of 40 to 45 miles per hour. For the July 29 Council meeting, we
will have a large, scale graphic available for the Council, to .review.. This
graphic will, show all of the existing trails in place with an overlay of
these three trails involving safety considerations. From this larg scale
map, the Council will be able to see how the trails outlined in red
interconnect with the rest of the trail system in place at this. time.
With regards to funding of these and other trails, we show in the proposed
C.I.P.. which will be going to public hearing later this month $75,000 for
trail improvements during each of the next Rive years, along with a.budget
request from the general fund of an additional $100,000.
Outlined below are the cost estimates for three sections of trail which
have the highest degree of safety concerns. In order to arrive at these
costs, we have taken the current cost estimates for the County Road 15 trail
and,come up with a per lineal foot cost. We then were able to multiply this
cost times the proposed Length of the other trails to determine ,nn approximate
cost estimate. These figures do not include any cost for right of way
acquisition.

unessential and a problem.. We need to be viewed as, a best friend.
and not as difficult meddlers.
We hope that we can present some ideas that are valuable for you
to take home. In the past few years new problems have come
before boards rising insurance rates, bond issues, park
planning. Our goal is to address these policy issues.
We had a meeting in the Twin Cities area last spring. It was a
first meeting with other commission and board members for most of
those attending. We all went home encouraged and interested in
meeting again, Another meeting has. been scheduled for November
11 for'all who would like to attend.
I hope to meet you in.Duluth and hear about what's working for
you and what Minnesota Recreation and Park Association can do for
you.
Sincerely;
Jean. Lonsbury, Charpers
Board & Commission Section
Minnesota Recreation and Park Association
