5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
a. Parkers Lake —General Improvements and Bathhouse. The plans and
specifications for Phase II improvements at Parkers Lake will be
going to the Council on March 16. Director Blank reviewed the cost
estimates with PRAC relating to these improvements. He stated
that bids will be opened on April 14, and that n ontraet should
be awarded at the April 20 Council meeting. He hopes ':o have
the majority of these improvements completed by July 21. The
timeline for construction of the bathhouse was also discussed.
Director Blank stated that construction is scheduled to begin
sometime in August, .so that the bathhouse will be ready for the
swimming season in 1988. Director Blank also shared plans for the
playground area as designed by Brauer. This is the Flay area that
is being made possible because of a private donation.
b. Three Neighborhood Parks Update. A problem has developed with the
construction of the playfield area in the Amhurst park. The location
chosen is very deep in peat, which is very costly to remove. Therefore,
the playfield will be developed over a two year period, which will
allow contractors building homes in that area to remove excess clay
from basements and haul it to the playfield area. It is hoped that
the clay will press the peat down and compact it, making the area
suitable for the playfield. Commissioners suggested that Director
Blank notify the Amhurst residents of this latest development regarding

delaying the construction of the p?ay ield.
c. Plymouth Creek Plan Update. Brauer and Associates will, be present at
the April Commission meeting with plans for the Plymouth Creek Park.
d, 1987 Trail Construction Update. Director Blank stated that Short.
Elliot is the consultant who will be designing the trails along Highway
101 from 19th to 26th Avenue, as well as the Fernbrook Lane trail. from
Highway 55 down to County Road 6. Our own Ci ,'_x crews will be finishing
the trail on Fernbrook from.County Road 9 to Highway 55.. The trail
along Zachary Lane and the County Road 15 trail will be completed in
1987, also.
e. Zachary Park Project Update. With the mildwinter we experienced,
the construction of the concession/landscaping area. went very well
according to Director Blank. Crews are now waiting for the lumber
that will be used to build the retaining walls, which is expected
to arrive by March 25
f Parkers Lake North Replatting Update. The firm of BRW has been working
with United Properties to replat Parkers Lake North. The latest version
of the proposed park is now acceptable to staff.
6. NEW BUSINESS
a. New Plats. None.
b. Offer to Sell Land. on Plymouth Creek for Tram. A resident living along
Plymouth. Creek has contacted staff regarding her wish to sell a portion
of her property to the City for the purpose of building a trail along
Plymouth Creek. It will be necessary to have this land, as well as
some other property, in order to make the trail connection to 26th
Avenue leading, to West Medicine Lake City Park. Before any easements
can be purchased, however, value of the land would have to be
determined. Director Blank indicated that he isn't sure this can be
done as quickly as the resident would like who wishes to sell. PRAC
urged staff to continue to work with the resident in an attempt to
work something out.
C. Request for Extension of Trail Along Dunkirk Lane. Staff received
a letter from a resident on Holly Lane requesting that the City
budget money to continue the asphalt trail along Dunkirk Lane from
30th Avenue down to 24th. PRAC members agreed that this request
should be: considered in the next budget studies,
d. Agreement to Administer Wayzata's Summer Recreation Program.
Director Blank indicated. that the City of Plymouth may be admin-
istering the City of Wayzata's summer recreation program, and that
an agreement has been drafted stating that this arrangement will be
on-going in the future. Either City can cancel the agreement,
however, if done by February 1 of each year. The administrative fee
for running the program in 1987 will be $6,000, and this fee will
be adjusted yearly if necessary. This is scheduled for Council
review .on the 16th of March,

SUBJECT. PLYMOUTH CREEK PARK PLAN UPDATE
Attached you will find information from Brauer and Associates with
regard to the updating of the master plan for Plymouth Creek Park..
As you will recall., the first phase of this plan was a site evaluation
of different possible locations for the future siting of a community
center, Picking the site of the future community center is important:,
so that the rest of the park's final plan can be designed around that:
facility.
Representatives from Brauer will be present at the ?ark Commission meeting
to review in detail this report for you.

Re; Plymouth Creek Park
B&A Project 487-05
Eric
Brauer & Associates Ltd. was, engaged by the City of Plymouth to
prepare an update Master Plat for Plymouth Creek Park. Before
this task could be undertaken, an evaluation of four alternative
site locations for the Community Center had to be evaluated.
Two of the four possibly- sites were evaluated by BRW Architects
in June 1984. Brauer s Associates felt it. necessary to analyze
all four sites in. order to give continuity to the study. The
general method of evaluation L.atilizedby BRW' was a matrix of
criteria for both. on-site and off-site forces. Brauer
Associates also employed this same method.
1. Method of ,Study
The site force evaluation process prepared' by BRW included'
criteria for both off-site and on-site: forces. Each site
was evaluated as to how well it performed on each criterion
and was assigned a numerical "score"' on a_ scale of 1 to 5
with 5 representing the best performance. The. Plymouth
Citizen's C.omiai.tteer under the direction of BRW, established
the relative importance of each criterion by voting for a
numerical weight on a prefe fence scale of 1 to 5 in
ascending order of preference. Brauer. & Associates used the
Citizen's Committee numerical weight number as their
constant.
By multiplying the "constant" weight by the value for each
criterion for each Site, a final score for each site Taas'
determined.. Brauer & Associates then took the average
numerical difference of the two sites evaluated' by BRW and;
determined a relative "score". The summary scoring for each
site can be, seen on the attached sheet:.
a w the summary sheet indicates, Site #1 and 43 were very
se in score. The Northwest Site, or Site i3,, scored
better on off.-site.forces and Site #1r or East Site, scored
tter on on -,site forces. This means that the Northwest
is a more desirable location but the East Site is
er to develop. Soil borings were not done on Site #3
d Site #4.;

2. Site Locations
2- April 1, 1987
The four alternative site locations for the Community= Center
are as follows:
Site it designated as the East. Site is located on the
north boundary of 34th Avenue North, with its
southwest corner one quarter mile east of Plymouth
Boulevard.
Site #2 designated the West. Site, is located at the
northeast corner of the "T" intersection of
Plymouth Boulevard and 35th Avenue North.
Site #3 - designated Northwest Site has its northwest
boundary at the southeast corner of Plymouth
Boulevard and 37th Avenue North. It is not within
park boundary and presently zoned commerical.
Site #4 - designated North Central Site has its southwest
corner of property at dead end of 38th Avenue
North and northwest. corner south side of County
Road i9 one-half mile east of Plymouth Boulevard.
It is not within park boundary and presently zoned
residential.
If you have any questions concerning this study, give me or Paul

MEMO
TO; FRAC
FROM: Rick Busch, Recreation Specialist 264
SUBJECT: PITCHING MACHINE
The Plymouth -Wayzata Baseball/Softball Association is making a change in
their "C 'Ball" program this year. "C Ball" is a baseball league for boys
9 & 10 years old. They are planning to use a pitching machine to do the
pitching,, rather than rely on the erratic and somewhat tender arms of
the youngsters. The reasons for the change are:
1. The hatters won't have. to be afraid of geLting hit by the
ball, because the pitches will always be over the plate.
This should add to the batter's confidence and allow them
to hit better.
2. The fielders will be much more involved in the game because
the batters will be hitting the ball to them rather than
striking out or walking.
3. Any chance of a'young pitcher "throwing his arm out" is
eliminated.
This kind of program has been very successful in Maple Grove, Edina
and a number of other communities.
In order to get power to the pitching machine, we would need to run
underground wire out to the pitching area with a capped outlet. The
cost of doing this at LaCompte Park is $1,010 ,for one field, and
1,895 for tvo.

Dear Friend,
As chair of the Commission on Minnesota Outdoors, I am
writing to encourage your support for the Land and water
Conservation Fund program (LWCF).
This program, scheduled to sunset in 1989, has made
possible much of the recreation development in Minnesota.
Since 1963, LWCF has provided $56 million to Minnesota for
acquisition and development of recreational lands and
facilities. Communities have been primary beneficiaries
of LwCF dollars: $27 million from LWCF has been directed
to local governments, and these funds have been multiplied
with state matching grants for local recreation projects.
Clearly, LWCF has provided needed outdoor oppor-
tunities and. stimulated state investment in outdoor
recreation. However, many needs remain to he met. Each
year, Minnesota is able to fund only 10 percent of the
applications for LWCF and state matching grants.
The Commission on Minnesotans Outdoors and the
President's Commission on American Outdoors have
emphasized the need for continued federal financing for
outdoor recreation. The Commission on Minnesotans
Outdoors has recomuended that the Land and Water
Conservation Fund be continued beyond 1989.
Your letter to your U.S. senator and representative.
will help see th.kt funding is continued. Tell them about
the value of LWCi in meeting future recreational needs.
Let your state legislators know of your support for
outdoor recreation funding, too.
By joining others in urging long-term commitment to
recreation, you can help ensure that all Minnesotans will
have access to the outdoor opportunities which we value so
highly.
Warm regards,

funds for maintenance or recreational
areas should come mainiy from user
fees. ,In responEe to questions about the
public preference for taxes or fees to
support other activities, taxes were
identified as the preferred choice for
wildlife protection (64 percent), acqui-
sition of additionalrecreational areas
52 percent) and improvements (44 per-
cent).
User fees may be the most frequently
applied means of generating funds for
parks and recreation; but are not the
only means. Even within the area of
user fees, there is intense discussion and
a broad range of opinion regarding
when, where and how user fees should
be applied.
Among the public and park and rec-
reation professionals, most agree spe
ciaiized facilities are appropriate sources
Of user -fee revenue. According to the
International City Management Associ-
ation, those facilities most frequently
subject to user fees and Burges are golf
courses, convention halls, swimming
pools and beaches, and recreation and
hobby classes. For large cites, facilities
such as skating rinks, museums, zoos,,
galleries and ballfields,often are subject
to ,fees and charges.,
f'

The questions surrounding user fees
focus most often on issues such as
when, for whom and how much. "It's
necessary to make some real priority
decisions regarding user fees," Deppe
says. "How much should be charged?
What should be free? Who should pay?
One of the most difficult decisions is
what percentage of the total operating
budget should be obtained through fees
and charges. Should fees and charges
from one facility be used to maintain
another facility? Should there be differ-
ent fees charged for different groups of
people:,, like children and the elderly?
Those of us in the parks and, recreation
profession have to reconsider our tradi-
tional ideas about, user fees and about
how to meet the needs of the people we
serve."
In Fort Collins, Colo., the questions
surrounding user fees were secondary to
the City Council's decision to fund 50
percent of the Recreation Department's
budget through user fees and charges..
Because we are separate from the
Parks Department, we are able to retain
some flexibility in assigning fees to ap-
propriate programs, while offering
other programs at no charge," says
Jean Heiberg, Recreation Department
superintendent. "We feel very strongly
that all the people in our community
should have access to our programs, so
we offer discounted fees for low-in-
come people, for example."
And what is the impact of user fees
on the programming of recreational ac-
tivities? "When you know that half of
AnNrkat CNY R County/AprN 1947

your total budget has to be obtained
through user fees, certainly that has an
impact on what types of activities you
program," she says. "You have to con-
sider whether the activities will be pop-
ular, but that's always a challenge.
What's the point of programming vc
tivities if nobody wants to attend?
Re!ying on user fees does influence
the programming to some extent," Hel-
berg, adds, "because not only do you
want the, activities to be popular, but
you want them to be popular with the
people who can and are willing to pay
for them.:'
User fees are not accepted univer-
sally, however. In Worcester, Mass., the
City Council mandated parks and pro-
grams be available to all citizens with-
out user fees. "Between the reduction
of federal funds and the passage of
Proposition 2'/2, our department faced
a 40 percent budget cut," says. Thomas
Traylor, director of parks and recrea
tion. "We had to determine our priori-
ties, and the City Council rejected the
idea of heavy reliance on user fees. We

cut over 100 program:;, turning most of
teem over to non-profit groups for op-
eration.
There is a very limited use of user
fees at our golf course, for example, or
tennis courts," he adds."People can re-
serve particular playing times, and for
that they pay a_small fee, but otherwise
all our citizens can use any of our facil-
ities."

John Williams, president of the
American Parks and Recreation Society
and -director of parks and recreation for
Sunnyvale, Calif., points to user fees as
a valuable source of revenue for obtain
ins additional open space.. "In Sunny-
vale, we have very strong community
support for our public parks and recre-
ation programs. We charge user fees for
some facilities and for some programs,
and people support those activities fi-
nancially. But even for communities
with adequate financial support for
current programs without usinguser
fees, the fees can provide an important
tool in planning for the future.
The additional funds can be used to
obtain additional open space, and in
many parts of the nation that's one of
the most important activities of the
parks and recreation department," he
adds. "If I bad to make n choice be-
tween operating a recreational program
and obtaining new open space, I'd go
for the open space because once it's
gone, it's gone for good. If you don't
get the open space, someone else will.
The money generated by user fees can
snake the difference between being, able
to get it and "ins it.
Despite the popularity of user fees,
many other methods for obtaining
funds, land or services are utilized by
local governments in their efforts to
provide park and recreation services.
These methods include:
Impact. fees. The impact fee is a
charge or assessment. levied by local
government to generate revenue for
capital funding. Although traditionally
such funds have been used for streets,
water and sewer lines, impact fees can
be used for park construction and ren-
ovation, both inside and outside the ac-
tual development. in some communi-
ties, developers are offered the option
of dedicating park land or cash in place
of park land, or fraying the .impact '_fee
for park construction. Because there are
numerous legal questions surrounding
impact fees. ongoing judicial examina-
tion likely will be required by each state
as programs for applying impact fee
legislation are formulated.
Ca mervatloa load trusts. More than
600 land trusts exist in the United
States, serving as non -stock, non-profit
agencies able to receive gifts of land,
cash or cash -convertible assets for pre-
serving open land. Frequently, trust
lands buffer public parks or conserva-
tion areas and may include provisions
for cultural and performing arts pro-
grams, environmental education and
landscape conservation.
Special taxes. Although some portion
of local tax revenue routinely is allo-
cated to park and recreation programs,
special legislation can increase the local
tax, earmarking it for specific activities.
In some locations, a bed tax is applied
to all guest accommodations to offset
the increased, costs of services. includ-
ing parks and recreation, during months
of heavy tourist traffic. In other areas,
such as Fort Collins, a temporary sales
tax increase of oncluarter cent was ap-
proved by the City Council, with funds
targeted for parks and recreation.
Gree lines. Greenlines are mixed

state, county and municipal parks, for-
ests and conservation lands as well as

tourism -related areas. The greenline
concept is related to the public use of
private lands, which, over the past 30
years, has been encouraged through
legislation in 44 states. This legislation
encourages private landowners to open

liability.
Fundraising activities are not the only
solution to the dilemma of shrinking
funds and rising costs. Park and rear,
atior, officials are faced with the added
challenge of reducing maintenance, op-
erations, insurance and staffing ex-
penses.
Maintenance of existing parks is a
priority for the public, according to the
President's Commission report, yet this
aspect of park and recreation activities
is the least glamorous and the least
likely to generate public enthusiasm or
financial support. In the areas of insur-
ance. maintenance and staffing, com-
munities have responded with a combi-
nation of innovative methods to reduce
costs.
We've had to reduce our mainte-
nance staff," says Worcester's Taylor,
but we've made changes to improve
efficiency as well with the staff we have
left. We've extended our work week to
seven days, which allows us to maxi-
mize our activities during those times of
the week when parks are least used. It
gives us an edge in keeping up with
maintenance, without having to resort
to expensive overtime payments.
We've also worked out arrange-
ments with other city departments to
use their equipment, and we've devel-
oped several grassroots programs," he
adds. "In one case, a Little League
team hc:ds responsibility for maintain
ins the field they use: they bought the
lawnmower, and they maintain the
field. We rely heavily on community as-
sistance. In many cases, we provide the
tools and the community group pro-
vides the labor, simply because we can't
do much of the labor-intensive work."
Other officials agree about the 'im-
portance of involving the public in
maintenance activities. "The commu-
nity cares about its parks and is willing
to provide assistance, Taylor says,
but we have to learn to tap into that.
We have to learn how to use commu-
nity interest and involvement in a posi-
tive way."
A final way to improve maintenance
efficiency is by replacing high -mainte-
nance equipment and facilities. "Many
of the current facilities weren't designed
to be highly efficient in terms of main-
tenance," Taylor says. "Now, when
you're faced with repairs or renova-
tions. you have to think bard about
what types of equipment and facilities
will last the longest with the minimal
amount of repair or replacement.
Sometimes, it is less expensive to re-
place certain equipment or facilities
than it is to repair them, knowing that
they're going to need repair again in
another year."
The rise in liability insurance costs
may be one of the most serious prob-
lems to face park and recreation de-
partments. Communities from Miami to
Santa Barbara. Calif., have responded
to the problem through self-insurance,
not only for their park and recreation
departments, but for the cities them-
selves.. In Sunnyvale, Williams says,
We belong to a self-insured consor-
tium of several' nearby communities,
which is an option many communities
are pursuing. One of the adjuncts to
that self-insurance is developing a
strong sense of community support for
the programs and facilities."
Just as an awareness of maintenance
requirements is influencing the ways in
which activities and facilities are pro-
grammed, an awareness of the insur-
ance issue has a similar impact on pry-
gramming. "We have noted a much
more active use of our parks and facili-
ties in recent years," says Don Wanike,
Fort Myers, Fla., director of parks and
raTeation, "so our programming has to
change to accommodate that shift in
use. But. just as much, our program-

ming has to change to respond to the
reality of insurance requirements. We
have to consider the liability factor in
choosing equipment and designing fa-
cilities."
In Cambridge, Mass., Paul Ryder,
director of recreation, notes the in-
creasing complexity of programming.
The insurance issue is involved in pro-
gramming, but just as important is the
need to program activities and facilities
that can be maintained and that, will
provide what the public wants and
needs.-
Barry
eeds.-
Barry Tindall of the National Recre-
ation and Park Association notes,
We're seeing that more and more of
the smaller, more moderate private or-
ganizations are folding because of the
high costs auociated with operation. As
a result, many people who would be in-
volved in those programs are turning to
public programs and facilities, and we
have to be prepared to meet the needs
of those people."
The nation's growing population,
combined with a heightened interest in
outdoor recreation, can be counted on
to intensify use of public park and rec-
reatirii facilities and programs. Yet, de-
spite the pressure of increased use,
compounding the problems of reduced
federal funds and rising operation costs,
there is optimism among many park and
recreation professionals.
Barbara Cordell, who recently com-
pleted_a survey of park and recreation
departments in conjunction with the
American Parks and Recreation Society
and the University of Georgia, says,
There is evidence that local and state
governments have made up for the drop
in federal funds, and that our public
programs are thriving. The public is be-
coming more aware of ,the importance
of these public facilities gad programs,
and professionals in the field are find-
ing more and more innovative methods
for delivering those services despite the
drop in federal funds. I fed very opti-
mistic as a result of the survey of parks
and recreation budgets and activities:"
That optimism is shared by profes-
sionals around' the nation, as they
spearhead efforts to deliver critical park
and recreation services. "We have to
make soine hard choices, and we have
to review our priorities and our ideas of
how to deliver these services," con-
clude Indiana University's Dem. "We
have to make some hard choices, and
how to deliver these services," con-
cludes Indiana University's Deppe.
But given the assumption that there
will never be all the money we could
want, our public parks and recreation
programs are doing very well."

Co-Unly Rc a: e -i c<aihwa;, 4 an= cr'0ssw-ait..
My, 'first choice is, to have a wair:way on tht w, side ofCF El as requester
by our homeowners associalion. 1 got :he dr;,tzn_i impress :.na however,
that it is city policy to have wa1!5 on only one side of a road ano i;
this .5 the decision the cite is going to mai.e then I want. to address the
the issue of the location of the crosswalks on Lin 61. 1 ob,tect to any
crosswali, being placed at W, Ptec., LI.. id and suggest one be placed at 37t,h
Av. N, for the following reason:.
The Pari, proposal recommends Cr-...sswalr.s across Cf 61; one at the Medlar
and one at the intersection"with W. Pieti L_ Rd., These are to have signage
and perhaps to eventually have flashing light, waltz buttons. etc.
I have no objection to the crosswali at tris:- median, lit connects the
path on the east of 61 that oozes along the creel, and up to CR 6 to the
proposed neighborhood pari and Itc, the pail, eventually leading past
Scanticon and. across 454. :z 15 615: almost at 4he end of 30th crew. i,ng
s nearly straight 11ne crossing to the playfield from
rez ldences, and its place-merti tcaj eE eo,&r,taAe c the Medial, fcr safet+ in
crossing
I do have a strong opinion nocut tne iocatii_.t the Zne croYswall which
should NOT be at 61. Med.Li.. Rd. rui shculd be placed at 3.4th o+ 37h
preferably at _77t.h. Ey pl,acin3 it at W. Pte-- Lt., Rd. _ vc;u are treating
the re5ident3 of Both ide s:frL'F 61 in an unectuai aric unfair manner--
showing preference to those who
Ifyou look, at the overall area oein_ server ihere are clearly
recreational areas here, and &4 ''.^. Plant, quite iaborictasiv pointed, ci,i to
us, each of these parK5 offe!'s clffereni amenstle5 wh0cr, together comprise
the recreational opportunities for the arca. These are 1) CF El part,
2) French part, 3 ) hied. Ll. ,, Pi . These amen(t i et i r,cluoE S11 trails
French only), tennis cMed Lt.. only:, beaches (French S Med. Lt..), possible
canoes paddle boats etc. (Fre,nch only) to name Lust n few.
There are many of us who, are more interested in the beaches, tennis and the
cross country sLi trails than the tiny tot lots, swings and playflelds.
For this reason I compared acces to all three (3;i recreational areas from
residences S&E of 61 with access cry residents gist~ Cf 61.
First for those who reside South & East, of CR E1; (Westminster are&3
They have access to Med, U. Pk. by crossing V. Med_, Lt.. Fid. (speed
limit 30mph and lightly traveled and using the path already constructed on
the, east side of kr. Med. Lt Fid. The,,, nasi*-e access tc French Farr in the
same, ways and they will have access I.,-the C- 61 psr€ wtirz the crosswalk at
the nedien--a convenient and ver,, dirtwt access C resioer.ts Ss of CR 61
have reasonably safe, convenient anc acceaE t+.< cY t three
recreational areas;.

At this. point: I mould also life to pint out, that (accoraing to Mr Blank)
the Zachary playflelda are where aur children are to go to play soccer;
softball etc, and to this end a path is includedir; the design of CR 9, I
ask --"How are the) to pet safely to Zachary without a crossWall at 37th or
a path on the West side of CY h

south that it, is serving ornly as an additional access for residents S 8 e
of 61 to the nei.ghborhoou par't and rollores the needs of those N S W of 61.

signal. CR 61 is excesslvelt, wide, has a 4F mph speed limit and MUST be
crossedby residents; N o of CR 61 to reach French, Zachary and Med, L!,.
Parks.
There are presently over 2SO children N & W of CR 61 who should not be
deprived of access to a major part of the recreational opportunities of the
area..
Remember you represent. ALL of us --not gust those who live S & E of 61. Do
NOT deprive us of safe and direct access to ala of iFie recreational
opportunities of our area (3/4 if you include 7achary). Be fair. Be
tquitabit._ Be logical. Nov' is the time to provide fair and equal access to
all recreational areas from both residential areas.
