FROM: Eric J. Blank, Director of Parks and Recreation
SUBJECT:; PAST COUNCIL ACTION
At their Monday, April 2nd, meeting, the City Council passed a resolution
rescinding the minimum standards for neighborhood parks.. In essence, this.
reverts back to the original definition for neighborhood parks as contemplated
in the 1982 plan. The Council, indicated that each park is to be looked at as
an individual site and a master plan developed that makes sense for that
neighborhood, based on community involvement and sound park planning
practices. This Council action may or may not have a bearing on your
deliberation on the development of the: master plan for Swan Lake neighborhood
perk., Each commissioner must determine what he/she feels to be the proper
development of that site.
CQm2rehensive Pian Update
On Monday, April 16, the. City Council approvedthe Comprehensive. Park .and
Trail Plan Update as recommended by tl)e Park and Recreation Advisory
Commission and Planning Commission without any amendments. The Plan will now
be sent to the Metropolitan Council for their review and comment and will be
returned to us in four to six weeks.

Dean Mr. Blank;
The purpose: of this letter is to make a formal request that the Swan Lake
Neighborhood Park constracticn. not be started until adequate and reasonable
access from the Scheldt Lake Hills development is obtained.
As I explained to you by teleoxm in early March, and again: to you and the Park
Conenssioners at the first meeting on March 29, the only access from Schmidt Lake
Hills is across my property. I have evexy reason to believe the foot traffic
the park would generate would twxiously invade the privacy and serenity of ply
home.
I can certainly see (`mow the ex s;twr and. maintenance of this park would enhance
the area and give an opportunity for pleasurable outdoor recreation for present
and future residents.
My appeal to you, the Park Cmmissioners, and the City Council is to give
consideration to me and the residents of the Schmidt Lake Hills; area before
corstructon is started.
sincerely yours,,; ..-"

SUBdEC,T: Shiloh Park
Pursuant to my -telephone conversations with a number of you,
I am enclosing the signed Petitions requesting new playground
equipment and some ;sports facilities. As you can see, the
response was very favorable for a new park. Out of all the homes
contacted, only two homes responded in a negative manner. I have
also enclosed the petition that was signed by people opposed to
the park.
As I stated in my conversations with you, the current park
was constructed with the idea and hope that no one would play
there. The equipment installed was minimal and the location
disasterous. Every time it rains, the current playground is under
water. Thus, the small number of children that do use the
playgroundare denied access. A park that no one uses is useless.,
We Need more and newer playground equipment installed in a
better, location. we need sports facilities for the older
children, i.e., a baseball and soccer field.. We need to design a
pack that, can be used by all age groups.
This issue has not been addressed singed the park was first
constructed in the late 1970's. We need' to do something
immediately. Please review the enclosed petitions and advise me
of what actions will be taken.
I await your reply on this issue.

Director of Parks and Recreation
city of Plymouth
Dear Mr. Blank:
Thank you for responding to our request for new equipment.
Gleanloch Park is an ideal location for many of us although
with only one swing and one slide its use is very limited.
On many occasions I have driven my children to other parks
that offer more variety and equipment designed for toddlers
as well as older children.
My question is this= if the city has a five year capital
improvement program then did Gleanloch Park get overlooked
in 1988'
I will be glad to meet with you and discuss our -options.
I have set aside time on Thursdays April 26p at 1.0s00 a.m.
Please let me know if that is convenient for you.
Telephone 593-5183.

RE Canoe Storage at Parkers Lake
Dear Eric;
Last August I called you regarding the installation of a canoe
storage area at Parkers Lake. At that time you ,Mentioned you had
installed two of these storage facilities at Medicine Lake, only
one of which was being used.
Many peoples who move into th apartments and homes being devel-
oped around Parkers Lake are moving there because of its proxim-
ity to the lake. Naturally, the residents envision themselves
partaking in various recreational activities at the hake. one of
these activities we have heard a strong demand for was that of
canoeing around the lake. In that the lake is relatively small
and sheltered, it provides an ideal location for canoeing.
By means of this letter, I would like to show Ry support of pro-
viding a
ro-
viding<a canoe storage facility. Last fall you suggested that
this was an issue to be taken up by the City Council and Park and
Recreation Advisory Commission during the spring of 1990. Please
call me at 893-8802 to inform me when the Council will address
this issue and of any way I can assist you. Thank you for your
tine and interest in this !Matter.

SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR WATER SKI COURSE ON PARKERS LAKE
1. ACrICN FMIM IIa The petitioner, Bill Christopherson, has requested
permission from the Hennepin County Yater Patrol for the temporary
placement of a ski course on Parkers Lake. The Water Patrol will not
issue a permit of this nature without the City commenting on the request.
2. BKKGROM: Attached to this report is Mr. Christopherson's letter outlining
his request for a water ski course on Parkers Lake.. I have also attached for
Council review a copy of a letter sent to the residents on Parkers Lake and
one to Mr. Christopherson indicating he should appear before the City Council
on April 16 to formally make his request.
I annually receive numerous requests for special activities to take place on
public waters within the City of Plymouth. Technically speaking, on the
advice of Our attorney, we do not grant (or deny) permission for any of these
activities to take place. Rather, it is our official position to notify the
Mater Patrol that the City has no objection to these special activities taking
place. Examples of previous requests which I have responded to favorably are:
o sail boat races on Medicine Lake
o ice fishing contests on Medicine Lake and Parkers Lake
o water ski course on Medicine Lake
I have responded negatively to a request to host a jet ski race on Parkers
Lake.
3 PRIMARY ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: Parkers Lake is open to the general public as.
are all lakes within the state of Minnesota. The only restriction placed on
the Parkers Lake boat launch is the launching of five boats on the lake at any
one time. The boats may be any variety such as 3ailing, canoeing, fishing,
skiing, etc.
Attached is correspondence received from residents subsequent to the receipt
of Mr. Christopherson's request.

Dear- Mr. Blank,
I would 'Like to , regLtest permission from the City of +! j/rnou-6, i to
put a portable slalom course for water skiing on Parker's Lake. 1
have contacted the dater Patrol Division of the Department of
Natural Resources and they have indicated that they would issue a
permit for a temoorary structure if the City of `:as no
objections.
perm wsior, to use a course would not result irc a crept r e.' c"
extra boat traffic on the lake or noisy disturbances fr..iiaKe
residents. I plan to use the Yake two or three times per week or
skiing, with or without the course,, as it is a small, G=iel tared
lake' without excessive `boat traffic, This makes it very e, 1ea n'
for waterski ir,e and ideal for a slalom course. I would Or',Y
install the course i -F winds were calm and from the r:. ht
directtion. The coarse owould consist of e2 buoys that woulr be put
in the lake, just prior to use and removed immediat—ely C-.rtet- :_;se.
I would typically use the course for only one or two n,o;_+rs at a 4
time. It would be put along the West sl-oreline, far away fr^r a=-
residences and the sw.immino beach.
I can assure you that I wii1 use the course and the :.-Ake in a

We, the undersigned, oppose the granting of a conditional
use permit. to Bill Christophersor for a, slalom water ski
course on Parkers Lake. we are concerned that this private
course on a portion of the lake would unacceptably create a
safety hazard:
1) Because it would heighten the competition among the
other watercraft attempting to use the remaining water
surface, and
2) Because high speeds, 25-35 mph, are needed on the
course there, is an increased risk for collision between Mr.
Christopherson's boat and, other craft.
We think this course would be safer on a larger lake where
there can be: more space around it; and more clearance for
Other boats.

Plymouth, Minnesota 55447
Dear Mr. Blank
Thank you for sending us your letter and a copy of Mr. Bill
Christopherson`s letter regarding his request for a water ski course
on Parkers Lake
As Parkers Lake lakeshore owners we are naturally concerned about
water traffic on, usage of and potential safety or environment hazards
on the lake Admittedly, we do not knew very much about the type of
water ski structure that Mr. Christopherson is requesting to install
on (in) Parkers Lake., in conversations with people; familiar, with both
Parkers Lake and slalom water ski courses there have arisen concerns
about
1) The increased boat traffic on the lake not just from Mr.
Christopherson and his family, but also from others who may see
the course and either wish to use it or wish to install their owe
courses or wish to install other types of structures, such as
water ski jumps or what have you.
2) The size of the lake itself and particularly the area of the
lake that is the requested site do not appear adequate ft-,ir slalom.
water skiing, others that have tried slalom course skiing have
stated that Parker's Lake is inadequate for this purpose.
3) The environmental issues that might be involved. What will
this structure be constructed of? How will the structure be
secured to the bottom? We have been gold that: the most popular

Mr. Bergman:
We are among the signers of a petition opposing the granting
of a permit for a slalom water ski course on Parkers Lake to
Bill Christopherson. We think the lake is too small to
allow a private party to tie up for their exclusive use a
sizeable: portion of the water surface. It only takes about
three motorcraft to crowd the lake and begin to compromise
safety.
At peak times, which are weekend afternoons and many
evenings, the lake is already used to capacity. We would
assume that these are the very times that Mr. Christopherson
would want to use his slalom course, since there is nothing
in. his letter to the; contrary:
As stated in the petition, allowing anyone a significant
portion of the lakes surface would create a safety hazard
for all. By our calculations the course itself would take
up about one. -fifth or 20% of the total lake surface, not
even counting room. for accelerations turn-arounds, the
public swimming area, and non -`navigable shoreline. This,
means that all factors considered, probably 25-35% of the
lake surface would be off limits to all other craft when the
course is set up.
This lake has become popular for sailboards, canoes, fishing
boats, and rather nonmotor or low horse -power uses. The high
speeds needed for a slalom course seem incompatible with
these activities.
Parkers Lake should be open- to as many citizens as possible
rather than allowing: it be available to only a few for their
exclusive enjoyment.
We appreciate your attention to our concerns.
Sincerely,

ear Mr. Blank:
Thank you.for your letter informing us of a proposed water ski
course on Parkers Lake. As lakeshore residents we strenuously oppose
issuance of such a permit. Parkers Lake is a, small lake of some 90
acres. Often, especially on weekends, we see traffic consisting of power
boats, fishing boats, jet skis and canoes all at one time.. Our
concern is both the amount of traffic and the speed of that traffic.
It is only a matter of time until a serious accident occurs. If high
speed traffic must be allowed, we hope the City will enforce: a
speed limit.
We are additionally concerned with the jet ski traffic. Jet
skis are accidents waiting to happen and absolutely should be banned.
Not only are the. machines unsafe (there is a national movement to make
them illegal), but most operators display little regard foe safe boating,
and thus are a constant nuisance to fishermen, canoeists and other
boaters.
We feel the City of Plymouth should be more encouraging of slow
boat traffic, perhaps by providing canoe and paddle boat rentals at.
the pavillion, Such action would also,go a long way in protecting
the: environment and wildlife in the area. Specifically, the west side
of, the lake is a breeding area for snapping and box turtles, and
motor boat traffic in that area has disturbed their environment. It
is not uncommon to have turtles wash up on our shore, dead from propeller
wounds. For those reasons we encourage the City to deny any permits
for additional motor boat traffic on Parkers Lake
Thank you for requesting our input. We compliment the City for
the beautiful work done on Parkers Lake. Many more people. are
enjoying it and we hope the City will continue to keep it safe and
environmentally iecure.
Very truly yours,

DEAR MR. BLANK AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
I LIVE AT 14810 13TH PLACE NORTH AND HAVE LAKE SHORE PROPERTY.
I HAVE DISCUSSED THE PERMIT APPLICATION WITH YOU AND MUST EXPRESS'
MY OPPOSITION TO RESTRICTING A GOOD PORTION OF THE LAKE FOR THE
BENEFIT OF A FEW. IT IS NOT THAT I: AM OPPOSED TO THE USE BUT
I AM OPPOSED TO THE LACK OF USE BY OTHERS THAT THIS PERMIT WOULD
CREATE.
I BELIEVE THAT THE LAKE IS TOO LOW AND TOO SMALL TO APPROVE A
PERMIT WHICH WOULD DEDICATE A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF ITS USE
FOR ONE PURPOSE. REALISTICALLY, BECAUSE, OF THE.DOCK ON THE WEST
AND THE. WEEDS, THE COURSE WOULD LOGICALLY MOVE TO THE CENTER OF THE
LAKE. THE COURSE IS, 800 FEET LONG AND WOULD REQUIRE ADDITIONAL AREA
FOR.TURNING AND RESTAGING, THAT IS SIGNIFICANTLY OVER 1/2 OF THE
SHORELINE.
THE 'HIGH SPEEDS AND WAKES GENERATED BY THE BOAT WOULD ADVERSELY
AFFECT THE AVAILABILITY OF AREAS FOR FISHING, THE SWINNING BEACH,
OTHER BOATERS AND JET SKIIERS AS WELL AS THE WATERFOWL. MANY DAYS
THERE' ARE 3-5 FISHING 'BOATS ON THE LAKE. I SEE THIS PERMIT AS
SACRIFICING THE GOOD OF THE MANY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE FEW. I FEEL
THAT EVEN THE BIKING, JOGGERS,, WALKERS AND SITTERS WOULD BE ADVERSELY
AFFECTED BY THE. SLALOM COURSE.
THE PERMIT, IF IT WOULD BE ISSUED, WOULD PUT RESTRICTIONS ON THE
REMAINING PORTION OF THE LAKE AND INCREASE'; THE DENSITY OF BOAT
TRAFFIC WITHIN A SMALLER AREA. IT IS MY, UNDERSTANDING THAT THE
DNR.HAS REGULATIONS FOR OPERATING A BOAT WITHIN A CONFINED AREA AND
LIMITS ITS USE TO 1/.2 HOUR..
I SEE PARKERS. LAKE AS A PLACE.TO GO FOR ALL THE RESIDENTS OF PLYMOUTH.
LETS KEEP THE LAKE AND ITSSURROUNDINGSOPEN FOR:ALL ACTIVITIES,
BOATING, SKIING, FISHING, SWIMMING, WALKING, JOGGING, ETC.
THERE IS A PLACE AND A TIME FOR EVERYTHING. PARKERS LAKE IS NOT THE
PLACE AND WITH THE LAKE. LEVEL AS IT IS, IT IS NOT THE TIME FOR
SLALOM COURSE.

Hear Mr. Blankt '
I have resided at the present address since Novemocr, 1950. I
have seen a; lot of history in that time and a lot of chanes
reczardinc; Parters Lake.
The Minneapolis Workhouse was letting their sewer water run into
the lake. The nei;htors joined forces and made them make two
evaporation rvols.. When it rained excessively, the pools would run
Over and into the la'ire.. Finally, when the sewer was put 1.r.,to our
area, they were also hooked up. The lake cleansed itself gradually
as it is spring fed. We had fish again along with turtles, frons,
etc. It was beautiful. The lake itself came up quitc hi-oh. One
of thrr old neighbors told me the. ' lake was 75 feet deep at one time.
Then carne the nit wits. First one man was alloy°ed to move a too
story house when we has an ordinance for one story structures. He
had a garage in the basement facing the lake. Then they allowed
another one to wild a home almost into the lake and not on !sigh
enough land. Consequently, Plymouth had to spay $10,000.00 to &ra4.n
the la,tte down grinding all, the fish, frogs and turtles making a
titin)-in^ Tess. The Swedes in :he territory wanted green lush grass
and had rut fertilizers on their lawns and it ran down into the lake
filling it with weeds we never hada This went into Gleason Lake
alone with the excess water they were pumpin into it. This ruined
Gleason Lalte.
Then Plymouth constructed an outlet so the excess water in Parkers
Lake could run out into other areas. Now the lake is at an all time
law so that with water s%iers and boats With motor, churn the lake 'up
and the weeds float into out bay area. I raked my wool head of,f for
severs ;,ears alone with the neighbors trying to ;deep the bay Clean.
There are two fainilies living on, the lake that water ski. One is
Miss ;-eterson and the other is a man who teaches water s,cin . They
start in the later part of the afternoon and continue until it tja-t:
e ric some days. No other person can enjoy fishing or canoe Loatin
It is to beautiful i4 this area, but people seem to enjoy runing it,
for others, tt+inking only of their own, pleasures. The ice went out
can the lake yesterday, and in the afternoon two persons on thesce water
scootsrn were goini round and round. Now ;r. Christoph rson's ruque:at
r.00zn't seem unreasor;able, but with the ,cr&ons residing on this lake
ch rninq it up, filling the neighborhood with their laue meter boats

Fact sheet compiled for PWYBA (Plymouth/Wayzata Youth Baseball
Association) by Mary Norton, Executive Board Community Liaison.
Plymouth population is currently what was projected for the year 2000..
With that in mind the Comprehensive City Plan included the need to
build balifields in 1990 with fewer projected than actual citizens.
Translation -lots; of extra people, too few fields.
District #284 population projections grow from 6681 in 1990 to 10,377
in 2000. Presently 30% of the school population participate in
basebalVsoftball. We have grown steadily at the rate of 20% for the past
4 years. Translation. 2010 youth in 1990 to between 4000 and 5000 in
the year 2000. Example: this year 7-8 year olds grew 2 teams or 30
additional, 9-10 year olds grew 4 teams or 60 additional, 11-12 Year
olds grew 4 teams or 60 ad: "itional.. Each team needs practice time of 3
hours minimum perweekand depending on the level two to three games
per week.
Where maximum field usage is questioned know PRAC sees a need to `
serve the citizens as well as organized sports with field usage. When
you see an empty field it is due to the fact a permit was denied for that
time. PWYBA complies with the City's recommendations/guidelines.
This year the Park Department has expanded on the hours permits were
issued for. Please note that at no time has PWYBA refused to use fields
on weekends for parents convenience.
We have no facility in Plymouth available to the youth to host a
tournament in a tournament setting,
We are using the fields to the maximum this year.. Rick Bush is doing
all of our scheduling to get the ultimate results of fields available.
We need to plan for today and the future. We are communicating and
cooperating as a PWYBA Board, District # 284 and the Plymouth Park
and Rec Department. We have left no leaf unturned. We have definate
needs doccumented in the Comprehensive Plan and validated by our
numbers,
We, PWYBA, would like you to commit to the Baseball/Softball youth
of Plymouth and build a 4 ballfield complex at thesiteof your
choice within the City Limits.

To Plymouth Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission,
The residents living in Swan Lake want to go on record
stating that, we do not want an active neighborhood park.
We prefer to have walking paths and natural landscaping.
Placing play structures, backstops, picnic tables,; and off
road parking on Swan Lake would ruin one of the few neighbor-
hood wild life areas in Plymouth.

Tear Mr. Blank:
I am writing in regard to Swan Lake \leighborhood Park,
currently planned for development during 1990.
1 would like to thank you and the Par]< & Recreation Advisory
Commission for the time you have pint. into the development: of
this park -- as evidenced a"- the last meeting, my
neighborhood is very excited about our new park.
I also want to let you know about concerns wr have regarding
the location of the planned parking. We believe the parking
should he planned for the south side ofthe park for two
reasozas,
if the parking is loc., _:ed on the north side of the
park-, it will take up too large a portion of the active
area of the park.
2) We are concerned about the safety of children playing
in the active area of the park if the parking is
located in that same area., As -the mother of three pre-
school boys, t know how quickly children can disappear'.
Thanks again for the work you have put into the park.

MEMO
CITY OF PLYMOUTH
2,400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447
DATE: April 3, 1990, for Council Meeting of April 16
TO: James G. Willis, City Manager
FROM: Eric, J. Blank, Director of Parks and Recreation
SUBJECT: FEASIBILITY REPORT BASS LAKE PLAYFIELD/PARKERS LAKE PLAYFIELD
1. ACTION R te: Brauer and Associates has completed the
feasibility report -cost estimates for the Bass Lake and Parkers Lake
Playfield sites, At this time, it is necessary for the City Council
to give direction on how to proceed with regard to these two
projects.
2. BACKGROUND: The approved 1990 CIP planned for the development of the Bass
Lake Playfield/Neighborhood Park. Because the Wayzata Youth Baseball
Association has expressed concern ovsr Additional baseball facilities
within their school district area, the City Council authorized
feasibility report on both the Bass Lake and Parkers Lake sites. The
City's consultant, Brauer and Associates, has completed those two
feasibility -cost estimate reports, and they are attached for Council
review. A concept plan for each site is also attached. These concepts
are done for cost estimating; only and are not meant to be the final plan.
The cost for _developing the Bass. Lake site, excluding a shelter building,
is estimated. to be approximately $911,588, and may include the following
facilities:•
o two parking lots
o one hockey rink
o one pleasure rink
o two soccer fields
o one 90' baseball fiald
0 one baseball/softball field
o four tennis courts
o -one basketball court
o playground
This cost estimate does not include design, engineering and other
miscellaneous items. These items will add an additional 10-11X to the
project.. Only lighting of the parking lot, hockey rink, and tennis courts
is included in'ihis base estimate.
FEASIBILITY RLPORT'- BASS LAKE/PARKERS LAKE PLAYFIELDS
Council, !Meeting of April 16, 1990
Page 2
The Parkers Lake coat estimate is based on the following facilities:
o two 90' baseball diamonds
o one baseball/softball diamond
o one large soccer field
o four tennis courts
o one basketball court
o one hockey rink
o parking for 195 cars
With lighting, similar to the Bass Lake facility, the estimated cost of
the Parkers Lake facility is $1,325,786.
As of January 1, 1990, the park Dedication fund has an unencumbered
balance of $1,162,668. The estimated cost of other projects proposed for
construction in 1990 include:
o 46th Avenue trail $32,000
o Swan Lake Neighborhood Park. $160,000
o West Medicine Lake trail $23`.',439
o baseball field improvements $10,000
TOTAL $435,439
Based on these project estimates, it appears that there is a fund balance
of approximately $727,229 available for a playfield project. It is
apparent that there are not adequate resources within the Park Dedication
fund to commence work on two different playfield sites during the 1990
year. In fact, we do not have the resources to build one playfield
without phasing the project. The items which could most practically be
deleted from phase one construction are:
a lighting of baseball and softball fields
o tennis facilities
o hockey rink
o playground
If all of these items were deleted, the phase one development of the Bass
Lake Playfield, for instance, would be approximately $819,748. This
includes 10% for ,design and 5E for contingency.
3. PRMW ISSLES AND ANALYSIS: Some of the issues for the Council to
consider are as follows:
1. Decide which site they wish to proceed with at this time and direct
staff to make the necessary arrangements to proceed with the project.
2. Refer it to the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission for further
review and recommendation.
Explore additional funding which may be available in order to totally
complete the development of one site, or begin work on a second
playfield site.

Council Meeting of April 16, 1990"
Page 3
4. The Council should give some direction on what kind of citizen
involvement should be solicited in the design of this facility, i.e.
should an entire driving neighborhood be given written correspondence,
or would more localized communication with those people in the walking
neighborhood be more appropriate.
5. We are starting to face timing problems on this project. Lt is
questionable at this time if the grass fields would be ready for use
the summer of 1991.
4. HENDATIMS AND OONCUSIGM: I recommend the City Council direct
staff to proceed with the planning for the development of the Bass Lake
Playfield site. only. I also suggest that the City Council set a funding
level for the project with which they are comfortable. I would further
recommend that the City Manager be authorized to negotiate a contrast with
Brauer and Associates for the development of the plans and specifications
for the construction of this playfield site. This contract would be
brought back to the City Council for review and approval. This
recommendation is in concurrence with the Park and Recreation Advisory
Commission's recommendation for the 1990 capital improvement programa

COSTESI IMlATE BASS LAKE PLA IELD
City of Plymouth
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Protect Overview
The following estimate relates specifically to the anticipated development costs associated with developing
the Bari Lake Playfrald located between Pineview Lane and County Road 61.
The cost estimate Is based on:
the Master Plan provided by the City which illustrates the site layout, grading, and property limits.
a listing of the facilities and site amenities along with desired construction standards.
The site is approximately 24 acres. In overall size. Development is orientated' toward an athletic type facility
featuring:
two soccer/football fields
one combination 75` baseball/60'soltball field
one 90` baseball field
four tennis courts
one basketball/hardcourt area
one hockey rink
a pleasure skating area
a children's play area/structure
extensive internal trall network
two parking lots
a shelter/warming building
Description Of Site facilities And Work Items
Removals
The anticipated removal items include:
the removal of a fair amount of barbed wire farm fence with wood posts which traverses across the
site in various direcDons.
the removal of a couple of old farm buildings (50'x 80' wooden animal building and 10'x 10' shed).
the removal of trees and brush on the eastern edge of the site near the small parkinglot-
the removal of woody plant growth around the site (typically less than 2' in dia.).
Carthwork
The anticipated earthwork Is based on:
the grading plan developed as part of the Master Plan provided by the City.
the soil borings provided by the City which depicts the anticipated soils in various areas of the site.
anticipated soils expansion/compaction characteristics based on available soil boring information.
Topsoil quantities are based on the assumption that 6' of topsoil will be stripped from all disturbed areas
on site, stockpiled, and respread to ,a minimum of 6' settled depth. Since some areas of the site will
ultimately be hard surface, aggregate, or perhaps modified topsoil, it Is anticipated that an excess of
stockpiled topsoil will result. This excess will simply be used as additional topsoil coverage in selected
areas of the site.
Based on the assumption that the .soccer/football fields will have 12' of modified topsoil, a computer
generated earthwork quantity take -off of the current grading pian indicate that there will be a significant
1
M
1
imba`anc e. In earthwork, resulting in an ex-oss of excavated materials. The earthwork quantity breakdown.
Is as follcm#s:
Antics f ated common excavation quantity: 51,120 CY
Anticipated common fill gmrAltyt 43,460 CY
In order to alleviate this condition, It, is recommend'4 that the current grading plan be adjusted whereby
an ori -site earthwork balance can be achieved'.
For the purposes of this estimate, a 'theoretical" computer generated earthwork balance was calculated,
resulting in an overall on-ske cut and f3l balance of approxin ately 60.004 CY. In general, this balance can
be achieved by raising the grades across the site by about 12".
Utilities
The anticipated utility work includes:
the development of an on -she detention basin or pond to control water run-off. Although it is
anticipated that the actu-A location and/or size of the basin/pond may be revised during design
development, k will most likely not be eliminated. As such, the necessary structures and work items
associated with the development of a detention basin/pond are included in this cost estimate.
storm sewer pipe and culverts as Illustrated on the pian. 18" dia. pipe was selected for estimating
purposes. This will have to be evaluated as part of design development to assure proper sizing.
a water control structure associated with the detention basin,
catch basins and manholes in locations illustrated on the plan.
4` sanitary sewer line from Pineview lane to the shelter building.
4" water line Vrrom Pineview-Lane to the shelter building.:
electrical power line from off-site location up to the shelter building. This will include a transformer
the actual size will have to be determined as power needs are better understood during design
development), 1n some cases;. the City is responsible for this cost while in other cases they are not,.
depending on the particular circumstances. The anticipated costs for this service will h ' ,-.i, -led
In the estimate at this time. Site lighting for individual site facilities will be as part ef the a' 4W' - . old
schedule.
Soccer/Elabail Fields
The cost estimate for the soccxr/football fields will be based on the following parameters:
a combination fonW/soccer goal which features a cross -bar and uprights for football and a.cross-
bar and net structure for soccer (2 per field - permanently mounted)
a complete Irrigation system, on an individual field basis (i.e.- the cost associated with irrigating the
areas surrounding specific fields will be a separate cost item listed under MISCELLANEOUS.
12" of modified topsoil consisting of 80% selected Imported sand (low P.H.) and 20% topsoil
stockpiled on site. It is anticipated that the topsoil will be mixed, pulverized, and screened on-site.
underdrainage (6' perforated PVC) in combination with modified topsoil.
2 player's beeches (151
field lighting at a lever appropriate for recreational use will be listed as an alternate under a serrate
sectionFor purposes of this estimate, the cost for lighting has been determined on a per field basis
whereby each field is considered as a separate entity. In actuality, there may be an opportunity to
lager the actual lighting costs if the fields are butt in conjunction with each other and/or other site
facilities,
an alternate will be listed relating to an artificial surface on one of the soccer/football fields. The
surfacing will consist of a synthetic material over a compacted crushed limestone base. (Product
example: Omnic ouurt Surfacing by Sporttec).Since this type of surfacing will have to be protected
from non -pedestrian traffic, a 3'-6" high chainlink fence around the field will be included as part of
this alternate bid schedule.
Combination 75' Baseba11j60'Softball field

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
PEQIW Overview
The following estimate relates sWftaily to the anticipated development costs associated with developing
the ParkW talaif Playlleid located at the northwest. Intersection of Niagara lane and County Road 6.
The cost estimate is based on:
the Master Plan developed by Brauer 8 Associates and approved by City staff which, Illustrates the
site layout, grading, and property limits.
a listing of the facilities and site amenities along with desired construction standards.
The site Is approximately 28 acres Inoverallsize. Development is orientated toward an athletic type facility
featuring:
one soccer/football field
one combination 75` basebaii/60'softball field
two 9o' baseball field
four tennis courts
one basketball/hardcourt area
one hockey rink
a pleasure skating, area
a children's play area/structure
extensive internal trait network
parking lots for up to 195 cars
a shelter/warming building
a concession building
Descriglion Of Site FacYities Andhork Items
Removal
The anticipated removal items Include:
the removal of trees and woody plant growth as required on the site.
general ske clean-up and removal of miscellaneous debris. This does not in lede removal of building
foundatkms, etc. which may be encountered during site grading.
Earthwork
The anticipated earthwork is based on:
the grading plan developed as part of the Master Plan developed by Brauer $ Associates.;
the soil borings provided by the City which depicts the anticipated soils in various areas of the site.
anticipated soils expansion/compaction characteristics based on available soil boring information;
Topsoil quantities are based on the assktrWion that 6" of topsoil will be stripped from all disturbed areas
on site, stockpiled, and respread to a P14num of 6' settled depth. Since some areas of the site will
ultimately be hard surface, aggregate, or pa;ftaps modified topsoil, It is anticipated that an excess of
stockpiled topsoil will result. This excess wkI simply be used as additional topsoil coverage in selected
areas of the site.
Based on the assumption that the soccerilootbail field will have 12" of modified topsoil, a computer
generated earthwork quantity take -off t; the current grading plan Indicates an overall on-site cut and fill
balance of &Woximately frWoCy,
1
The anticipated utility work includes:
the developrnent of a number of on-ske detention basins or ponds; to control water run-off. The cost
estimate for the storm sewer system and detention basins/ponds will be based on the anticipated
stormwater run-off characteristics. Since the actual size and capacity of the detention basins/ponds
as Weil as the storm sewer system layout will require extensive review and engineering during the
design development phase of the project. the actual costs for developing the store sewer system
WIN be subject to some degree of variability,:
sanitary sewer and water lines will have to be brought Into the s!te to service the needs of the
shelter bu[kfing, concessions stand, and perhaps the picnic sheftee. As with the storm sewer system, the sanitary sewer and water system WK require extensive review and engineering during the design
developriw t. phase of the project. As such, the actual costs for developing these systems will be.
subject to some degree of variability.
electricalpower line from off-site location up to either ti va shelter building or concession stand. This
will include a transformer (the actual size will have to be determined as power needs are better
understood during design development). In some cages, the City Is responsible for this cost while
in other cases, they are not, depending on the particu:ar circumstances. The anticipated costs for
this service will be Included In the estimate at this time. Site lighting for individual site facilities will
be as part of the altemate bid schedule,
Soccer-JIFootball Field
The cost estimate for the soccer/football field will be based on the following parameters:
a combination football/soccer goal which features a cross-bar and uprights for football and a cross-
bar and net structure for soccer (2 per field - permanently mounted).
a complete irrigation system, on an Individual field basis (i:.e: the cost associated with irrigating the
areas surrounding specific fields WIN be a separate cost Item listed under MISCELLANEOUS.
12- of modified topsoil consisting of 80% selected imported sand (low P.H.) and 20% topsoil
stockpiled on site. It Is anticipated th t the topsoil will be mixed, pulverized,, and screened on-site.
underdrainage (6" perforated PVC) In combination with modified topsoil.
2 player's benches (15')
field lighting at a level appropriate for recreational use will be listed as an alternate under a separate
section. for purposes of this estimate, the cost for lighting has been determined on a per fie+a basis
whereby each field is considered as a separate entity. In actuality, there may be an opportunity to
lower the actual lighting costs if the fields are built in conjunction with each other and/or other site
facilities.;
an alternate will be listed relating to an artificial surface on the soccer/football field. The surfacing

engineer and attached is the Feasibility Report for this segment of the
trail,
In September, 1989, bids were received on the portion of the trail from 26th
Avenue to 23rd Avenue. The bids received were 48% above the Engineer's
estimate. It was recommended. that the bide be rejected and this northern
portion of the trail be combined with the southern portion for a larger
project in 1990.
The total estimated cost to construct both portions of the trail, including
the upgrading of the retaining Mall along the lake. to a concrete stone
material, is $30S,500. It is recommended that the retaining wall along the
lake be upgraded to a precast block wall because of lower maintenance; costs
and a much lonter life expectancy.
In order to construct the trail, concrete curb and gutter would be added
along the lake side of the roadway. Also, minor storm, sewer extensions and
catch basins would need to be constructed to provide drainage for the
concrete curb and gutter. Since this portion of the project is a street
improvetsent, it is reconLanded that it be funded from the City's Municipal
State Air Fund. The remaining portion of the project Mould be funded from
the City's Park Dedication Fund,, Trail Account.

RE: PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING REPORT
WEST MEDICINE LMM DRIVE TRAIL
FROM THE MINNEAPOLIS INDUSTRIAL RAILWAY TO 18TH AVENUE
CITY PROJECT NO. 931
Dear'Mr. Moore:
In September of 1987, an alternative trail alignment report was
completed for the proposed trail along West Medicine Lake Drive
from T.H. 55 to 26th, Avenue North. The alternative alignment
study was in response to a Traffic Safety Study completed in
January, 1987, which concluded that due to the volumes of
vehicular and. pedestrian/bicycle traffic some type of separated
trail should be provided.
The alternative trail alignment study identified four segments of
trail along West ;Medicine Lake Drive. A prelizinary engineering
report was completed in May of 1989 for Segment IV as identified
in the alternative alignment. study. Plans and specifications
ware also prepared and bids taken for Segment IV. Because the
bids were substantially higher than anticipated, they were
rejected and it was proposed to include the Segment IV
improvements with work proposed in 1990 (Segment II)
This report comprehends the construction of that portion
identified as Segment II in the alternatives study_ and also
includes costs for Segment IV as identified in the; previous
Preliminary Engineering Report (see Figure 1).

Mr. ;iFred G. Moore, P.E. - 3 - April 9, 1990
Project _ Descripon
The city's Comprehensive Trail: Plan identifies a separated, paved
trail along west Medicine Lake Drive that provides a connection
between the City's Park at 18th Avenue and T.H. 55.
This report: comprehends that portion of the trail between the
Minneapolis Industrial Railroad and 18thAvenue (the south side;
of the city park). It is proposed to place the trail adjacent to
the 'existing roadway and have the road and trail separated, by new
concrete curb and gutter from immediately north of the railway to
approximately 600 feet north. As the proposed alignment nears
the lake, the trail will continue to abut the roadway with new
curb and gutter between, however, special construction methods
will be required to complete the trail.
As discussed in the previous report comprehending Segment IV
north of the city park, it will be necessary to construct a
retaining wall with a fence along the lake side of the trail.
This is necessary to min mizo filling along the lakeshore. In
some areas the trail may be constructed by using steep'backslopes
without filling below the ordinary high water level of the lake
see Figure Nos. '2, 2A and 3).
Also, as discussed in the previous report, other types of
construction for those areas along the lake requiring retaining
walls were considered but rejected. The alternatives are shown
in Figure 4 and wer. rejected because of constructability
problems and higher anticipated costs.
In the area adjacent to the lake there are several docks and
stairways that are used by residents whose homes are on the west
side of the roadway. Itis proposed to allow these structures to
remain, however any modifications to the docks and stairways
required by the proposed- trail construction will be the
responsibility. of the residents and is not considered as part of
this project. In addition, there is a power line supported on
poles which will have to be. relocated with the proposed
construction. The poles may be moved to the area behind the
proposed retaining wall (toward the lake) or to new locations on
the west side of West Medicine Lake Drive. Another option would
be to have the powerline placed underground through this area.
The construction of curb along the east side of the roadway
necessitates the installation of storm sewer for drainage. It is
proposed to construct three storm sewer outfalls to the lake to
accommodate the street drainage.

Estimated Cost i
i
The estimated cost for the project as proposed herein is as
follows:
i
Segment II S 166,330
Segment IV $ 92,370
I I
Total 258,700
These figures include a, 15 percent additive for design,
inspection and administration, 5 percent for interest and a 5
Dercent contingency. Easement acquisition costs are not
included. The costs presented, here are based on increased costs
since. the 198studyalternativealignmenty as well as the bids
received last year on Segment IV.
The cost presented above reflects construction of a typical
retaining wall (timber or stone) and fence (split rail or chain
link). If the .City Council, desires upgrading these items to a
precast block wall (i.e., Keystone) and metal rail fence an
additional $94,850:00 should be added to the project cost. We
recommend that the Neystone type wall be used because of lower
maintenance costs and longer lif,• expectancy.
Attached please find a detailed construction cost estimate for
Segment II. Also attached for your information is an updated
estimate for Segment IV:
We would be happy to review this report with you, the City
Council, or any other interested parties and answer any questions
you may have:.

STRGAR-ROSCOE FAUSCH, INC.
