Director Blank; stated that the Council approved the selection of the three architects recommended by the Selection Committee. 5, UNFINISHED BUSINESS s, W2st Medicine LakeDriveTrail--Public Maatina, Director Blank briefly aviewed previous steps and procedures that have been taken with regard) to the proposed trail along West Medicine, Lake Drive. He; talked, about the public meeting that had been held. last August which was attended by approximately 125 concerned residents, and he stated that those residents had made three points very clear - there is a definite- need for a trail, park improvements are desired, and residents want to continue to drive along the lake shore. Director January 1989 PRAC Minutes Page 2 Blank then shared with the audience and the Commission an overhead projection displaying three alternative route* for this proposed trail.. He then explained the reasons for staff's recommendation of Alternative P2 which are: overall project cost., minimal disruption of existing; residential property, residents will be able to continue driving along the lake, and the lake shore within West Medicine Lake Park will be more recreational in nature= Paul Schwebac', 11808 18th Avenue, stated that part of, the proposed route for Alt. #2 is through a swamp and that he is concerned with how costly it will be to fill. it. When; questioned, staff responded that soil tests have not yet been done of this area, Dan Bernier, 2650 Norwood Lane, stated; that he also is concerned about this swampy area,: He askedif the homes on 23rd would be purchased, how wide the street would be when it's rerouted and how the trail would be separated from the street, since it's not very wide in places. Director. Blank, stated that there were no pians at this time to purchase any homes on 23rd Avenue'. He stated that r,.l,4 trail would be paved along the edge of the street and would probably be separated from the street by curb and gutter. He wasn't sure at this time how wide the ns'v street would bu• Erika Urban., 1541 West Medicine Lake Drive, said that she was concerned with the "unofficial" boat launch near their home and how this boatlaunch could be controlled end would their property . y be assessed for the construction of the trail. Director Blank indicated that there are no plans at this time to assess the property owners. Marjorie Demeules, 1749 West Medicine Lake Drive, requested that plans and specifications be made available to residents once a final decision has been made; James Bosch, 1830 Forestview Lane, stated that he has lived at his curs#ant address since 1975x and recently made some costly improvements to his, property. He stated he would rather see West Medicine Lake Drive turned into a one-way.. His feeling is that the realignment of the road through the swamp will have a negative impact on the Wild life inhabiting, that area. He has no problems with the trail being cons trt cted but does not favor realignment of the street. Direc.tUr Blank indicated that he had talked with Public Works Director, Fred Moore, about the feasibility of a one-way street, and Mr._ Moore's reaction was that it isn't practical unless a one -Kay in the opposite direction can be arranged within two blocks-. Joe Bergland, 2319 Kirkwood Lane, does not favor a one-way street. He does favor Alternative d2' and asked if a guardrail separating the trail from the street. had been considered. Director Blank stated that to add a guardrail would cost approximately $75,000. Gordon Olson, 1615 Evergreen Lane, stated he was in favor, of Alternative #2. He asked if there was some way the City could' slow down the boat traffic in the narrow channel by the West beach. January 1984 PRAC Minutes Page S At the conclusion: of input from the residents, Director Blank. stated, tot he had, received a few phone calls and letters from people who could not attendthe meeting. Two callers and two of the letter writers favored Alternative #E2. One caller favored Alternative #3 and the other letter writes was requesting improvements, in general, to West Medicine Lake Drive, because he runs along the shoulder as a means to stay fit, and he is concerned, with his safety.. Commissioner Rosen questioned the reasons for staff recommending Alternative: #2. After looking at the overhead projection, he stated that it_appeared Alternative #1 was in fact; the cheapest and the least disruptive to the property owners, and it still allowed the residentspPPy to drive along the lake shore. He also etated that by PRAC recommending, Alternative #2, they would be doing so with the assumption that: there would be no disruption of property. Director Blank pointed out that you cannot make that assumption. He said the rerouting of West Medicine Lake Drive would probably come very close to some homeowners' property, but he didn't know how close at. this time. Commissioner Hanson stated that the only reason she could see for recommending Alternative #2 is that it gets the street away from; the lake and reroutes it through the park. Commissioner' LaTour indicated her concurrence with getting West Medicine Lake Drive away from the beach area. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER BEACH AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER HANSON,RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF ALTERNATIVE #2 AS RECOMMZNDED BY STAFF WITH THE MAIN REASON BEING REALIGNMENT OF THE STREET AWAY FROM THE LAKE SHORE. THE MOTION CARRIED WITH ALL AYES., b. barker's Lake Update. Director Blank stated that corrections in the kitchen have bean made in order to meet health code requirements. He also stated that the arts and crafts sink in the storage room is now in place.` e. Pixmguth Creek Park Parkes Lot Improvements, Director Blank briefly reviewed the report prepared by Bonestroo on the parking lot improvement project. Ninety-three additional stalls have been proposed at a cost of $805 per stall, along with the construction of two smell storm sewer systems. An existing storm sewer needs to be removed. The Commission: asked if the charge for the storm sewers would come out of this project budget also, and Director Blank indicated it would'. COMMISSIONER BEACH MOVED AND COMMISSIONER HANSON SECONDED A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE PARKING LOT EXPANSION PROJECT AT PLYMOUTH CREEK PARK. THE MOTION CARRIED WITH ALL AYES: d« CosLrehens#ve Plan Uodate. Director Blank displayed two large maps showing the comprehensive trail system and the comprehensive part: system and explained to the Commission what changes to the parks and trails he is proposing. He suggested that FRAC hold a pubic meeting_ t January 1989 PRAC Minutes Page in March at which time interested residents could state their opinions. it is, at thio meeting that, the Park Commission should make their recommendation regarding the Comprehensive Plan update. The Planning Department will be holding public hearings in March, also; The re -wording of items 10, 12 and 14 of the Comprehensive Plan as suggested by FRAC at their December meeting: was reviewed for any other changes. Following a brief discussion, COMMISSIONER ROSEN MADE; A MOTION- WHICH WAS SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER, HANSON TO ACCEPT THE REWORDING OF THOSE ITEMS AND FORWARD THEM: TO THE PLANNING DEPARTME11T.; THE MOTION CARRIED 'WITH ALL AYES. I e. coMMity CentSr Uedate. Director Blank reviewed the revised calender of future meeting dates and flow the plans for the community center, are scheduled to progress.. He stated that the meeting on January 19 will. be chaired by Jerry Sisk. Pre -written questions and answers will be available as a hand-out for citizens to pick up before the meeting, which should help eliminate some of the repetition of questions., Ann Ehneich£ 1461 West Medicine Lake Drive,, was concernedwith a_ letter to the editor she saw in a local newspaper which said that every Plymouth tax payer had been taxed $160 to build the community center. Staff and FRAC responded that this information was incorrect and Ment on to explain to Mrs. Ehneich how the City has proposed to fund the construction if the community center is built. 6.

Willis, City Manager FROM Eric J. Blank, Director of Parks and Recreation SUBJECT: ORDER PRELIMINARY DESIGN REPORT - WEST MEDICINE LAKE DRIVE TRAIL FROM 26TH AVENUE TO 23RD AVENUE 1. ACrICN REQES'M: The attached resolution authorizes the City's consulting engineer Strgar Roscoe Fausch to prepare a preliminary design report for s trail on West Medicine Lake Drive from 26th Avenue toapproximately23rd Avenue. 2. BAQ4GROL7: For the past year the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission has been reviewing the options for the development of a, trail along West Medicine Lake Drive. The study area has commenced at 26th Avenue and concluded at Highway 55. The Park.Commissi,on conducted one public hearing on August 11, 1988, and a follow up hearing on January 12, 1989..The Commission studied three different options for developing a coordinated road way and grail system from 26th Avenue to Highway 55. 3. PRDWY ISS( ES AM ANALYSIS: The attached tr^f f is study dated September 8 from Strgar Roscoe Fausch served as the technical data source the Commission used for this study., Based on the information in the report., discussion among City staff, and testimony taken at the public hearings, staff has recommended and the Park Commission concurs, that alternative two is the preferred choice of action cn this matter. Alternative two would allow for a separate bikeway to be developed from 26th Avenue to the north end of the park. At this point, the park and the road would take' alternative paths through the park. The roadway would take a westerly swing away from then lake front.. The road and trail Mould then realign at approximately 18th Avenue and continue paralleling down to Highway 55. The trail would be on the lake side of the road. The 1989 CIP has $75,000 earmarked for trail improvements along West Medicine Lake Drive. g. RDPECATIMS AND 0ONCUISIMS: Staff is recommending that the Counci l order a preliminary design report for a trail improvement project from 26th Avenue southerly to the north end of the park. It is anticipated' that this work could be undertaken during 1989. Lt is contemplated that in 1990, starting at approximately 18th Avenue, the portion of the trail from 18th Avenue to the railroad tracks could be built. We anticipate that the rerouting of the road would take place during the first phase of park development which would occur in 1991 or later., This would be determined by the Council When future CIP's are " approved. Eric J, blank, Director Parks; •nd Recreation EJB/np Attachments r CITY OF PLymxnII Pursuant to due call, and notice thereof, a meeting of the City Council of the City of Plymouth, MinrAmtar Was held on day of 19 The following meoribert were present: The following manbers were absent: introduced the following Resolution and moved its adoption RESOLUTION NO. 89 - ORDERING PRELIMINARY DESIGN.REPORT - WESTMEDICINELAKE DRIVE TRAIL WHEREAS, the 1989 Capital Improvement budget calls for the development of trail along 'West Medicine Lake Drive, and WHEREAS, the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission and the Director of Parks and Recreation have recommended approval of a trail along West Medicine Lake Drive, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA, that the City's consulting engineer Str`ar-Roscoe-Fausch is authorised to prepare a preliminary design report for the extension of trail from 26th Avenue southerly to approximately 23rd Avenue along West Medicine Lake Drive. The motion for the adoption of the foregoing Resolution was duly seconded by and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof The following voted against or abstained: Whereupon the Resolution wet declared duly passed and adapted. Feiruary 7, 1989 Eric Blank Director of Parks and Recreation City of Plymouth 3400 Plymouth Boulevard Plymouth, Minnesota 55447 RE Plymouth Creek Park BiA l87 -05X Eric; Enclosed you will find one (1) copy of our Preliminary Master Plan Cost Estimate for the Preliminary Master Plan presented to the City Council on July 25, 1988. The first page of the estimate is a summary of total estimate. You Will notice that I have developed the estimate by major areas and systems and have indicated two (2) totals. Hopefully the division of the estimate will enable the City to make project phasing decisions more easily. The two(2) totals are in response to our findings regarding the park's wildlife habltat/wetland as detained by. the Corps Of Engineers. As you know the U. S. Congress has in the last few years greatly expanded the Corps jurisdiction over wetland habitat. The determining factors are specific soil and vegetation types, both of which are present on this site. The extent is quite large, approximately 8-3 acres by our calculations. This determination Was made by the Ccrps on the basis of air photo interpretation, review of existing soil tests and minimal on site inspection. Some expansion or reduction of this area maybe made when a final on site inspection is completed. One of the major restrictions the Corp.s places on a development in a wetland is that any fill area exceeding 10,000 S.F. will require a development permit. The To""al wlAlternate f1 _ Lake Construction includes the 23.9 acre lake envisioned in the Preliminary Master Plan and assumes that all of the excavated material will be disposed Of Off-site. This approach will actually result in a break—even or positive habitat valme. If there is a credit created it may be applied to future muni.eipal projects any where in the City. The Total wiAlternate i2 Lake Construction- includes a lake that would be approximately 4.5 acres in area and as umes that the excavated material could be spoiled on site. Eric Blank _2- February 7 1989 City of Plymouth The size of this lake was determined by the amount Of surplus water storage on the property, below the 953 elevation, see Plymouth Creek Park Storm Water Storage Pond BC -P6" report prepared by Bonestroo etal. These spoil materials could be used to elevate the group picnic areas insuring against seasonal flooding. The plai-ement of this material would of course take a permit from the Corps of Engineers. We would suggest that this smaller lake size be used to its fullest for improving the quality of downstream water, a point that may be more salient when trying to obtain a Corp permit Almost any development in this area will need some form of review by the Corps of Engineers. The Civic Plaza area between City Hall and future Community Center, will impact a small wetland area which by itself can be easily mitigated. The tennis court, winter sliding, amphitheater areas, and theme play ground area are for the most part outside the Corps' jurisdiction. The trails, group picnic areas and conservation areas Could' with careful .planning be implemented in a manner that would meet the CO1'p3' requirements. Without fill though, these_ facilities may be subject to seasonal flooding. If you have questions regarding the estimate or Corps' requirements please feel free to call me BRAVER A ASSOCIATES LTD.

Your Celebrate Minnesota 1990 grant application has, been received. I want to take this opportunity to commend you and your community for the time and tffort that went into its. preparation. The response of communities wishing to participate in this program has been overwhelming. A total of 328 applications have been received from communities throughout Minnesota requesting $3.3 million in grant assistance. Considering that a minimum match of three to one was required of all applicants, these applications represent nearly $10 million in local effort pledged to the Celebrate Minnesota pi'"gram scheduled for 1990. While the $700,,000 appropriated by the 1988 Legislature for this grant program will limit the number of applications we will be; able to fund, the Governor has recommended additional funding for the program in 1989. This will enable us to extend the program another year and increase the number of Celebrate Minnesota projects in time for the 1990 celebration. Thank you once again for your application. Our review of applications has already begun, and we will be announcing grant awards before spring of 1989. In the meantime, if you, have questions, I encourage you to contact the community development division representative for your area (see enclosure). Best wishes for a successful Celebrate Minnesota project.
