CALL TO ORDER Chair Freels called the September meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers. 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES The minutes of the July meeting were not made available to PRAC at their September meeting, so they will be approved at the October meeting. 3. VISITOR PRESENTATIONS a. Athletic Associations. This item will be covered under 5.a. b. Staff. Rick Busch presented the Employee of the Month award to Kurt Pauly for the month of September. He stated that Kurt has been working for us as a warming house attendant and field attendant for the past five years and has also worked full time in the park maintenance department. Rick praised Kurt for his reliability, his willingness to work whenever he is needed, and his ability to work with the public in sometimes trying situations. He represents the department very well. Since there was no August PRAC meeting, Rick mentioned that the August Employee of the Month was Tamara Jergenson, who works under Cindy's supervision as a playground leader. Rick announced that our fall soccer program has been playing since the first week in September, and registration is up from last year. Our adult fall softball leagues will be wrapping up the week of September 17. Indoor fall sports will begin next week. Rick also mentioned that the Upper Midwest Regional Softball Tournament was held in Plymouth over the Labor Day weekend, with 85 teams participating. The MRPA sponsored this event. C. Others. None were present at this meeting. 4. REPORT ON PAST COUNCIL ACTION a. Playfields. The City Council reviewed the preliminary plans for the Bass Lake and Parkers Lake Playfields. They added an additional tot lot at Parkers Lake Playfield, and they added fencing along County Road 6, in an effort to keep pedestrians from crossing at points other than designated crossings. b. 46th Avenue trail. Council awarded the bid on this trail, which has already been installed and is now in the final stages of completion, including seeding/sodding along the path itself. Commissioner Edwards asked if crews had started building the tunnel under County Road 6. Director Blank indicated that he learned at a construction meeting last week that the tunnel will be started in about two weeks. September 1990 PRAC Minutes Page 38 5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS a. Discussion of non-resident use of nlavfields. Director Blank explained to the commissioners and the representatives of the athletic associations, that PRAC commissioner Carol Beach had suggested the City consider implementing non-resident fees starting in 1991. This suggestion came after rumors that Plymouth kids were being denied participation on some teams, because non-residents got placed on the teams instead. Dennis Netland, Chairman of the New Hope -Plymouth Baseball program, distributed a report to the commissioners outlining this past season's participation. He stated that 693 kids, ages 9-18, played in the program, with 393 of those kids living in Plymouth, which had the largest participation. Mr. Netland stated that no Plymouth kids were denied the opportunity to play (unless they were under age, or had tried to register after teams were already full). He explained that Plymouth kids pay more than New Hope, because of an officials' fee, which is covered by the City of New Hope for New Hope children. Gail Dieleman, Secretary of the New Hope -Plymouth Athletic Association, and current chair of the summer traveling soccer program, stated that their association is somewhat unique in that it offers five different sports all under one "umbrella," rather than separate associations for basketball, football, hockey, soccer, etc. They currently restrict membership to kids from Plymouth and New Hope living in District 281, although they will occasionally allow children from Crystal, Golden Valley and other suburbs to play. Their largest participation is from kids living in Plymouth, however. He feels charging non-resident fees to New Hope kids would be difficult and somewhat unfair, considering that fields are evenly provided by both the cities of Plymouth and New Hope. He stated that Plymouth children do pay $14.25 more than New Hope kids, because of the officials' fee, and that kids from other suburbs pay that fee, plus an additional $3 to help offset the fact that Plymouth and New Hope provides the fields. He indicated that as far as he knew, no Plymouth children were denied the opportunity to play. Ed Cunnington, Plymouth -Wayzata Baseball, stated that 1,150 boys (76 teams) participated this summer, with the largest percentage being from Plymouth. He did not have exact numbers available. No Plymouth children were denied membership. He was concerned that if non- resident fees were charged to kids from Wayzata, that the Wayzata businesses that help sponsor the teams, might withdraw some of that sponsorship. Greg Baufield, representing Plymouth -Wayzata Youth Football, stated that there are 335 participants this fall from District 284, with most of these kids being from Plymouth. He explained that they belong to the Lake Minnetonka Football Association, which includes leagues from Hopkins, Minnetonka, Orono, Plymouth -Wayzata and Plymouth -New Hope. Their costs escalated this year because of a problem with the helmets, requiring them to purchase all new ones. Football registration fees are currently running $60 for a single and $80 for a family. Last September 1990 PRAC Minutes Page 39 year, those fees were $40 and $55. They play their games at Oakwood, and this year one third of their games at Plymouth Middle School, because there aren't enough fields available to accommodate them. He commented that there are about 500 Minnetonka children playing football, but Minnetonka is not providing any of the fields. Commissioners were surprised to hear this and wanted to know why. Mr. Baufield replied that Minnetonka Park and Recreation has decided to make its fields available only to adult groups willing to pay rent. He's been putting some pressure on the Wayzata School District to provide a field and on the City of Wayzata. He also intends to contact Minnetonka about their lack of cooperation. ' Following the presentations made by the athletic association representatives, Chair Freels asked the commissioners for their comments on charging non-resident user fees. Commissioner Anderson questioned how many non-residents are actually involved in these youth sports and would charging them $3 or $5 be worth the possible negative reaction it would generate. Rick Busch commented that it was somewhere between 200 and 300 kids, excluding New Hope children, and reminded PRAC that New Hope does provide about half the fields for their Association's use. Commissioner Rosen stated that charging non-resident fees would be a very negative thing to do and would cause lots of ill will between cities. He also feels that $3 or $5 would not be worth it and would just be an annoyance. Commissioner Hanson said that she thinks cities that are not offering any kind of support in the way of fields or monetary contributions should be asked to help out, and pressure should be put on the City of Wayzata and the Wayzata School District to repair some of their fields or make them available to youth sports. Commissioner Edwards is not in favor of charging non-resident user fees. She feels that some families may have trouble affording the additional charge, especially if they have several children playing sports. Chair Freels commented that he doesn't want to charge non-resident fees either. He doesn't think it would be worthwhile, nor would the fees generated be enough to cover the costs associated with non- resident use. Based on the figures presented by the Athletic Association representatives, non-resident involvement is minimal. Because Carol Beach was absent, Chair Freels suggested that the Commission table any action on this item at this time. All commissioners agreed with this. Chair Freels thanked each representative for attending the meeting and voicing their concerns. The representatives in turn thanked the Commission for inviting them, and they indicated they are very appreciative of Plymouth's support of their programs. They also stated they would like to nominate Rick Busch "Employee of the Month," and commented on how grateful they are for his help and cooperation. September 1990 PRAC Minutes Page 40 b. Bass Lake/Parkers Lake playfield update. Director Blank stated that Council has approved the preliminary plans with the addition of a second tot lot at Parkers Lake and a fence along County Road 6. The final plans and specs are scheduled to go to the City Council on September 24. C. Swan Lake neighborhood park. The playground equipment has been installed, some final grading needs to be completed, and seed and sod has to be planted. d. West Medicine trail update. This project is proceeding nicely. Director Blank will be meeting with residents this week who need an opening in the fence above the retaining wall for access to their docks. Property owners must rebuild their stairways themselves. All work should be completed by October 1. 6. NEW BUSINESS a. Norma Lewis land - West Medicine Lake City Park update. Mrs. Lewis approached Director Blank in recent weeks indicating she was interested in selling her property, which is part of the proposed West Medicine Lake City park project. The City is now in the process of having the land appraised. b. Forster's land - Zachary Plavfield update. The Forster family has contacted the City regarding selling their property. This is the land west of Zachary Playfield that the City is interested in acquiring as a buffer zone between the playfield and residential homes. C. U.S. Homes land - future playfield update. Two appraisals have been done on this property; one by the City's appraiser and one by U.S. Homes. Based on the large difference in the value, the City Council has stated that no purchase should be considered at this time. The Wayzata School District is also interested in some of this land for a future school site. d. Discussion of special facilities - comprehensive plan. Director Blank shared some statistics on golf courses and outdoor pools with the commissioners. According to national standards, there should be one 18 -hole golf course per 25,000 people in a community. Plymouth does meet this standard, based on its current population, with golf courses at Elm Creek, Hampton Hills and Hollydale. Although these courses are not City owned, they are open to the public. Commissioners are concerned that at some point in the future, these privately owned courses may be sold to developers who will build houses on this land, and that the City should consider the purchase of at least one of these courses in order to preserve it. The standard for pools is one outdoor pool per 20,000 people. With a projected population of 80,000 to 100,000 when Plymouth is completely developed, we would need approximately 5.5 outdoor pools if we are to meet the national standard. Director Blank discussed the costs to build and maintain outdoor pools and how they usually operate at a loss. He talked about the new $2.7 million 50 meter outdoor pool that Winona just built that includes a water slide, and the pool in Crystal that has two new water September 1990 PRAC Minutes Page 41 slides. Commissioner Rosen asked Director Blank if wave pools are still as popular as they once were. Director Blank will research that question and let PRAC know. He did say that this summer, while attending a soccer tournament in Blaine, he heard an announcement made over the public address system that the Anoka wave pool was closed due to being at capacity for that day. The commissioners discussed the possibility of an outdoor pool in Plymouth and suggested that a citizen survey should be done to see if this is what the public wants. Director Blank indicated that the financial task force appointed by the City Council may be doing a citizen survey in the future and that questions like that might be included. It was suggested that PRAC wait on making any recommendations for special facilities in the Comprehensive Plan until after a survey is completed. e. 1990-91 ice rink locations - committee report. The skating rink committee met to try and distribute more equally throughout Plymouth the locations of ice rinks. The committee suggested two new rinks; one in Turtle Lake Park and one in Swan Lake Park. They recommended closing the rink at Lions Park because of its proximity to Parkers Lake, and closing the one at 24th & Olive Lane, due to its proximity to Oakwood. Director Blank pointed out that there will also be two rinks in the new Bass Lake Playfield. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER HANSON AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER EDWARDS TO ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATION MADE BY THE SKATING RINK COMMITTEE. THE MOTION CARRIED WITH FIVE AYES. (Commissioner Beach was absent; Commissioner Anderson left prior to this item being discussed.) It was suggested that staff research a way to get onto Bass Lake to maintain a rink there, until the Bass Lake Playfield rinks are available. 7. COMMISSION PRESENTATION None. 8. STAFF COMMUNICATION Meeting dates for October were discussed. Since staff and some commissioners have conflicts on the 11th and 18th, it was decided to meet on October 25. Director Blank made the announcement that after 22 years, Commissioner Edwards was resigning, because she and her husband will be moving out of Plymouth at the end of September. Commissioners offered their regrets that Barbara would be "retiring," and they all wished her well. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER ROSEN AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER HANSON TO COMMEND BARBARA ON HER 22 YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE AND COMMITMENT TO THE PARK AND RECREATION ADVISORY COMMISSION AND TO THE CITIZENS OF PLYMOUTH. THE MOTION CARRIED WITH ALL AYES. 9. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 10:15 p.m. Minutes of the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission Meeting July 12, 1990 Page 28 Present: Chairman Freels, Commissioners Anderson, Edwards, Beach, Rosen, Hanson, and Waage; staff Blank, Patterson-Bisek, Anderson, Sankey, Councilman Ricker Absent: none 1. CALL TO ORDER Chair Freels called the July meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers. 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Chair Freels felt that a sentence should be added to the June minutes on Page 24, after Paragraph 1, stating that the Chair closed the Public hearing. Chair Freels moved to approve the minutes with this change. It was seconded by Commissioner Rosen. The motion carried with all ayes. 3. VISITOR PRESENTATIONS a. Athletic Associations. None were present. b. Staff. Cindy Anderson presented this month's "Employee of the Month" certificate to Linda McKinley, Senior Head Lifeguard. Linda has worked for the Parks & Recreation Department since 1986 as a life guard and swimming instructor. She has over 240 hours of training for her certifications and at least 180 hours of inservice training. She supervises, trains, and schedules the life guards, coordinates the Wayzata Beach program, and performs various related administrative duties. Her exceptional knowledge, friendly attitude, and sincere concern for safety help mold the life guard staff into a real team. Cindy stated that beach attendance is up. The new life jacket and wading areas at the beaches have been added, and use of them is high. The use of life jackets in these marked areas has not been as high as expected, but use by small children for wading has been very popular. This year's lifeguard staff is excellent. Many of the guards are 3rd or 4th .year employees, so experience is high. Attendance at Parkers Lake has been very high, contributing to more concession sales. Swimming lessons are being held at Wayzata West Jr. High this year. The classes have been filling up quickly because of the lack of Wayzata East Jr. High. The Red Cross instituted a new Whales Tales safety program which we use with good success. The Whales Tales are also used at the Day Camp, which is going very well. The group size is kept fairly small, which contributes to a family feeling. PITS attendance is up; the new sites seem to be working well. The Friday special events are very well attended. Mary Patterson-Bisek stated that all the staff deserves a pat on the back due to the handling of all the rained -out activities. For July 1990 PRAC Minutes Page 29 example, there are 64 softball games to be made up. The department employs approximately 100 seasonal staff, which keeps the full time staff very busy, handling phones, payroll, etc. The Schneider USA - sponsored Rockin' Hollywoods concert was moved to Wayzata East Jr. High because of rain, but it was still able to attract 450 people. The Torch Run went very well and generated a great deal of interest. Phyllis Hanson and her daughter participated. Demand for pre-school programs has been extremely high, including the new pre-school swimming classes and special events. We are working on expanding the programs. The Water Carnival will be held on July 24 from 5:30 to 9:00. The Teddy Bear Band and Sons of the Beach will be appearing. Last year's Carnival attracted about 700 people. The fall brochure articles have been turned in, and we are starting to get ready for the next season. Chair Freels asked if the fire works had been rescheduled. Director Blank responded that the Civic League will meet on Tuesday to discuss expenses, and then they will have a better idea if they will do something else or wait until next year. C. Others. None. 4. REPORT ON PAST COUNCIL ACTION a. Director Blank announced that the City Council approved the plans for Bass Lake and Parkers Lake Playfields as PRAC had presented them. b. The City Council awarded the contract to Ideal Paving for Swan Lake Neighborhood Park. Chair Freels asked if a ceremony is held when a park is opened. Director Blank stated that ground breaking ceremonies and grand opening ceremonies are sometimes held for the major parks and playfields, but not usually for the neighborhood parks. 5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS a. 1991-95 GIP. Director Blank presented the CIP containing his estimates of costs of various projects. He stated that the trails listed for each year is a general designation; actual trail projects to be completed each year can be chosen from the list of trails attached or from new trail needs that may become apparent. He also stated that the CIP figures were still just an estimate, since the available money would depend on how the Council decides to fund the 1990 projects. Commissioner Beach expressed her wish to see an outdoor pool located at Zachary Park added to the CIP in 1992. She feels there is a great need and desire among the citizens for an outdoor pool. Chair Freels felt that staff should be asked to do a study to determine the location and bring the results back to PRAC. Commissioner Waage agrees that the City should build an outdoor pool because several people in her district have expressed an interest in one. The CIP should include what the constituents want most. July 1990 PRAC Minutes Page 30 Commissioner Rosen stated that he feels an outdoor pool will be needed in the future, but he is not comfortable with the timing of putting it in the 1992 CIP. He would really like to go ahead with the Community Center in 1991 and would not like to jeopardize its chances by listing an outdoor pool in 1992. He would also like to give higher priority to new tennis courts and playfields. He felt comfortable with the 1991 CIP, and would like to leave out the pool for now. Commissioner Hanson said there are two approaches to a CIP. You can be conservative and only ask for the bare minimum, but chances are that is only what you will get. You can make it a wish list and list everything that you feel the community can use and go for it. She doesn't feel that the timing on the projects is very critical because CIP's change from year to year. Commissioner Edwards stated that she is also an advocate of the Community Center. An outdoor pool would be nice in June, July, and August, but would be closed the rest of the year. Commissioner Anderson felt the Community Center should have priority. He wondered how effective outdoor pools are cost wise. Chair Freels said that costs could be very high with maintenance, staff, and security. He asked Director Blank to comment on pools. Director Blank stated that we have three junior highs with pools, two YMCA's, New Hope and Crystal pools available for swimming opportunities, along with four beaches within the city. He does feel outdoor pools will be needed in the future, because the lakes are bound to deteriorate. He said the Council has directed PRAC to look at special use facilities. Until the commissioners have done the study and have a better idea of what is needed, he hesitates putting anything specific in the CIP. Commissioner Hanson asked if they could list a "special use" item without specifying what it would be. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER BEACH AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER HANSON TO INCLUDE AN OUTDOOR POOL LOCATED AT ZACHARY PARK IN THE 1992 CIP. MOTION WAS AMENDED BY COMMISSIONER BEACH TO READ "LOCATION AND TYPE OF POOL TO BE DETERMINED LATER". MOTION WAS DEFEATED WITH COMMISSIONERS WAAGE AND BEACH VOTING AYE AND COMMISSIONERS ROSEN, HANSON, EDWARDS, ANDERSON, AND CHAIR FREELS VOTING NAY. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER ROSEN TO INCLUDE THE OUTDOOR POOL IN THE 1995 CIP. MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND. Jim Kukral, 4070 Minnesota Lane, represented Plymouth Creek Elementary in requesting that the City donate $5-10 thousand towards a playground structure for the school. The school currently has only a very minimal playground for the children. They have plans to build a 35,000 project on the east side of the building and need the additional funds from the City for rock, timber, and landscaping. The July 1990 PRAC Minutes Page 31 school would be willing to submit a request in any form which is required. _ Chair Freels asked Director Blank what the policy was for this type of request. Director Blank replied that they must make the request this year for next year's budget, and the project must be identified as a park site in the park plan. PRAC would have to address the fact that Plymouth Creek Elementary is not currently in the system plan as a park site. Commissioner Edwards wondered if contributing to the school's playground could be justified since a playfield and neighborhood park are planned for the site just west of the school. Commissioner Rosen pointed out that the City's investment of $5-10 thousand would actually yield a $35 thousand value in a neighborhood park, since the school was investing the rest of the money. He also asked which Wayzata Schools have been given money for playground equipment in the past. Director Blank said that the City had given money to Sunset Hill, Oakwood, and Greenwood Elementaries. The difference with these schools is that they had been designated as neighborhood park/schools in the original comprehensive plan which were formulated considering population projections. Plymouth Creek Elementary was sort of dropped in", and it hadn't been a part of our planning. Commissioner Anderson asked if we could get it into the plans, since a precedent has been set with the other schools. Chair Freels stated that all they could do right now is put it on the Council agenda. Mr. Kukral said that the school could borrow the money needed right now to construct the playground before fall if they had some assurance that the request would be presented to the Council. Commissioner Waage commented that this playground is basically just for the school, not for the general public. Commissioner Rosen asked if playfields always have play equipment as part of their plans. Director Blank said no, Ridgemount and Plymouth Middle School don't have playground equipment. Commissioner Edwards pointed out that all the others were designated as playfield-neighborhood parks. She also noted that the school plans to put the play equipment on the east side of the building, not the west side where the proposed park would be. Director Blank also wondered why the school district doesn't include the funds to build playgrounds in their building budgets. July 1990 PRAC Minutes Page 32 Chair Freels pointed out that the City doesn't own this park land yet, and it probably wouldn't be developed for 5-10 years. The Commission took no action on the school's request. Commissioner Hanson feels that there is a major parking problem at Timber Shores Park and that this project should be included in the 1991 CIP. She wondered if there would be enough funds for it. Director Blank stated that right now the cash on hand in the park dedication fund is about $900,000. It will depend on how the Council decides to fund the proposed new playfields whether there will be money left for any of the other requested projects. Councilman Ricker said that PRAC shouldn't worry about funding. They should include whatever they feel is needed in the CIP and let the Council worry about the funding. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER HANSON AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER WAAGE TO CHANGE THE TIMBER SHORES PARKING LOT PROJECT FROM 1992 TO 1991 IN THE CIP. THE MOTION CARRIED WITH 7 AYES. Commissioner Rosen asked what it would cost to purchase Hollydale or Hampton Hills Golf Courses. He feels the City will lose the golf courses to homes if they don't step in and make the purchase. Director Blank felt it would cost about $2 million. Commissioner Edwards feels it would be a good idea to preserve a golf course from development into homes, but PRAC should look at all the needs. Commissioner Hanson feels a special use study should be completed and then the needs put into the CIP. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER ROSEN AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER HANSON TO ADD THE ACQUISITION OF AN EXISTING GOLF COURSE INTO THE 1993 CIP. MOTION WAS DEFEATED WITH COMMISSIONER ROSEN VOTING AYE AND ALL OTHERS VOTING NAY. Director Blank stated that standards exist for number of ballfields, etc., per population. None exist for golf courses and other special interests. He needs some time to research this issue and hopes to have some answer of how PRAC should proceed with a study by the September meeting. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER ANDERSON AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER WAAGE TO APPROVE THE CIP WITH THE TIMBER SHORES CHANGE. Commissioner Rosen wanted it known that the reason some of the special need items aren't in the CIP yet is because PRAC wants to study the issues first. July 1990 PRAC Minutes Page 33 Commissioner Waage wanted to know what trails are included in the CIP. She is very interested in a trail along County Road 47, especially since her daughter was hit by a car on that road recently. Director Blank stated that the Comprehensive Trail Plan was approved by PRAC two months ago. PRAC can pick the highest priority trails from the list they were given, although the list was not meant to be all-inclusive. The County Road 47 trail timing has not yet been set. COMMISSIONER ROSEN PROPOSED AN AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION FOR INCLUDING A RANGE OF $8-12 MILLION FOR THE COMMUNITY CENTER. Commissioner Anderson felt that instead of a range, it should just be 12 million. Commissioner Beach pointed out with the addition of time and cost overruns, a more realistic figure may be $15 million. Councilman Ricker pointed out that the dollar amount was not critical at this time. Commissioner Rosen changed the amendment to $15 million. Commissioner Anderson agreed to the amendment to his motion. THE MOTION TO APPROVE THE CIP WITH THE TIMBER SHORES CHANGE AND A $15 MILLION AMOUNT FOR THE COMMUNITY CENTER WAS APPROVED WITH ALL AYES. b. West Medicine Trail Update. Director Blank announced that the bids were opened today for this project, with Barber Construction the apparent low bidder at $235,285.10. The Council will be asked to award the contract on Monday, and he hopes the project will be underway in ten days. C. 46th Avenue Trail Update. The Council will be asked to authorize the bidding process on this project on Monday. 6. NEW BUSINESS a. Non-resident Fees. Carol Beach stated that she feels all non -Plymouth residents who join youth athletic programs which use Plymouth fields should pay a $5 .non-resident fee which would be collected by the associations and turned over to the Park & Recreation Department. She would like this to take effect as of January 1, 1991. Chair Freels wondered if PRAC has the authority to recommend this to the Council. Director Blank replied that yes, it does. Commissioner Rosen felt that PRAC should do more research on this subject. He also asked if this subject should be covered at a special meeting when field usage fees are covered. July 1990 PRAC Minutes Page 34 Commissioner Anderson felt that the subject should be postponed. Director Blank said that the field usage issues are addressed in December. He also felt that the associations should be invited to the meeting when this would be discussed so that they may come and comment. If PRAC were to act on it now, the reaction from the associations would be negative. Chair Freels asked if PRAC could be given all the information staff has on this subject. Director Blank stated that in the New Hope/Plymouth Soccer program, for example, participation is about 60% Plymouth and 40% New Hope. The Association charges Plymouth children an extra official fee because the City of New Hope pays for the officials, and Plymouth does not. Plymouth Park & Recreation does charge non-resident fees in various programs run by the Department. Commissioner Rosen stated that there are different issues on different sides of the city. He does not like the idea of Plymouth children being cut from the traveling teams by non -Plymouth kids when the teams are using Plymouth fields. He also wondered what a non-resident fee is for - too exclude others? Commissioner Waage suggested that maybe certain groups could be exempted from the non-resident fee. Commissioner Beach stated that other cities charge non-resident fees to Plymouth residents, and people don't understand why non-residents don't have to pay extra fees to play in Plymouth. Chair Freels expressed concern about public relations. He felt the issue should be tabled and discussed in September. Director Blank said he would send letters to the associations before the meeting. b. Chair Freels asked the opinions of the commissioners on how he has conducted the meetings and whether he was following Roberts Rules of Order properly. He also pointed out that commissioners should always be careful to avoid conflicts of interest. He also stated that he felt uncomfortable with the way PRAC had redesigned Bass Lake Playfield plans at their last meeting. Commissioner Rosen felt the meetings were being run well. The discussions had been more lively lately because of differing points of view, so meetings will naturally take longer. He feels it is appropriate to change park plans and that PRAC doesn't necessarily have to accept what staff presents. Commissioner Waage stated that PRAC is here to make decisions for the entire community and should not be heavily swayed by just one or two people. She also said that she wants to understand the issues fully before voting, and not be rushed. July 1990 PRAC Minutes Page 35 Commissioner Beach feels PRAC usually does make decisions for the entire community, and it is good to move things along. Commissioner Hanson felt frustrated at the Bass Lake meeting because it was not clear when the public was done speaking and when PRAC could begin their discussion. It was difficult, too, because there were no athletic associations present, just neighbors. Commissioner Rosen felt that at one of the Community Center meetings, the Chair handled it well at the start by stating the procedure to be followed at the meeting. It is important to cut the public off at some point. Chair Freels stated that he will bring a copy of Roberts Rules of Order to the next meeting. C. Councilman Ricker brought a request from the Mayor for a joint meeting between PRAC and City Council. Chair Freels said that he had requested the meeting to discuss the CIP more fully. Commissioner Anderson suggested meeting before a Monday Council meeting. Chair Freels suggested July 30 at 5:00 before the budget meeting. 7. COMMISSION PRESENTATION Councilman Ricker expressed his appreciation for the work PRAC does on all the Park & Recreation issues. He stated that when the Council makes a change in one of their suggestions, it is only because they see things from a different light from their own studies. He also appreciates their discussion of the length of public meetings. This is an issue the Council will need to address, too. He said that the Council is selecting a Financial Task Force to study funding issues. PRAC should go ahead and include whatever the community needs in the CIP and not worry about dollar figures at this point. These facilities are needed to bring kids together in a good environment. 8.

Blank, Director of Parks and Recreation G SUBJECT: TRAIL ON COUNTY ROAD 6, JUNEAU LANE TO FERNBROOK LANE The attached memorandum dated September 27, from Fred Moore to the City Council, explains this issue with regard to the proposed trail on County Road 6 between Fernbrook and Juneau Lanes. The City's Comprehensive Park and Trail plan contemplates this section of trail being completed. The City Council has asked that the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission hold a public information meeting with the residents affected along this stretch of road. There are six residential properties along this trail. I have sent the attached letter dated October 17 to those residents advising them of the meeting October 25. It is my recommendation that the trail be built along County Road 6 as proposed in the Comprehensive Plan. There will be a Class I off-road trail all the way from Oakwood Elementary School to Juneau Lane. Due to the traffic and speed on County Road 6, I think it is very important that this last segment of trail be constructed. The large tree that Mr. Moore refers to in his memo is on the corner lot of Juneau and County Road 6. I believe with some cooperation from the resident of this lot, it would be possible to get a trail around the tree without taking it down. I recommend that each of you drive by this site between now and Thursday night's meeting. EB/np MEMO CITY OF PLYMOUTH Q _ A 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 CC DATE: September 27; 1990 For City Council Meeting of October 1, 1990 TO: James G. Willis, City Manager FROM: Fred G. Moore, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: TRAIL ON COUNTY ROAD 6 1-494 TO JUNEAU LANE At the Council meeting on October 1, 1989, the City Council approved the preliminary plans for the reconstruction of County Road 6 between Fernbrook Lane and County Road 101. A previous project completed the upgrading of County Road 6 between Fernbrook Lane and Xenium Lane. That project is still underway with the Minnesota Department of Transportation completing the new interchange at I-494. There is a transition between the two construction projects approximately midway between Fernbrook Lane and Juneau Lane. At the completion of both projects there will be an unconstructed segment of trail between Juneau Lane and Fernbrook Lane along the south side of County Road 6. This trail could provide the link when coming from the west along Parkers Lake Park to the trail going north along Fernbrook Lane. Construction of this trail segment would involve the destruction of large Cottonwood tree at the southeast corner of Juneau Lane and County Road 6. There is not adequate road right-of-way to construct the trail on public property without removing the tree. An alternate route to constructing the trail at this location would be to use the existing residential streets as the official trail route. As shown on the attached drawing, Juneau Lane, 15th Avenue, and Glacier Lane could serve as the route for the trail. This would be done by signs since they are residential streets and no construction is necessary. The construction schedule for the improvements on County Road 6 will complete the remainder of the trail improvements by the fall of 1991. If a decision is made to add this last remaining segment to the project, the construction would not take place until the summer of 1991. Although a decision does not need to be made at this time on whether to construct this segment of trail, I am -asking direction from the City Council on how to proceed. In order to receive input from the six affected property owners, there needs to be a public information meeting. Does the City Council want to conduct this meeting, or do they want the staff to hold the meeting and report to the City Council. The Council might also decide to wait until the project is completed to determine the amount of pedestrian traffic within this area. This segment of trail could be added at a future date. Fred G.

The north -south trail along Fernbrook Lane will eventually be extended south to intersect with the Luce Line trail. Recently, the City Engineering Department asked the Council for direction on whether or not they should proceed with the construction of this trail, or look at an alternative alignment of routing people down Juneau Lane, across 15th Avenue and back up to County Road 6. This would be an off-road trail consisting of signage only. The Council deferred this matter to the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission to hold a public information meeting, to allow you the opportunity to provide input on this matter. This item has been placed on the October 25 Park and Recreation Advisory Commission agenda. The meeting will start at 7:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers. Anyone wishing to comment on this subject should appear in person before the Commission, or send a letter to the Commission, care of City Hall.

Blank, Director of Park and Recreation SUBJECT: CRAIG SCHERBER'S OFFER TO SELL LAND FOR FUTURE COMMUNITY PARK Craig Scherber has offered to sell 87 acres of land to the City of Plymouth as a community playfield located generally at County Roads 24 & 101. Mr. Scherber appeared before the City Council at their October 15 meeting to make this proposal. The Council has sent it to the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission for review and comment. I have looked at this matter in some detail and although it is an interesting piece of property, I believe it is in the City's best long range interest to keep the playfield site north of Highway 55. The currently proposed site at Old County Road 9 and Dunkirk Lane is still being considered by the school district for a secondary school. Because of this and other reasons which we have discussed at length in previous meetings, I believe this still is our best location for a playfield. If we are unable to secure that property because of land cost or other reasons, I would still recommend that we search north of Highway 55 for the next playfield site. This is another site you might wish to drive by prior to Thursday night's meeting. Mr. Scherber will be in attendance at the meeting to explain to you his proposal.

ACTION RZQU BTSD: Consider the -*quest of Craig Scherber to sell 87 acres of land to the C -P—, -sfPlymouth at a total coat of $2,368,500 for park purpose-. 2 BACKGROUND Craig Scherber has acquired an interest in an 87 acre parcel which he proposed to develop as a PUD to be known as "'Stone Creek." The City Council considered and denied this concept plan its meeting of September 22. Mr. Scherber has indicated his willingness to sell this parcel to the City for a community playfield site. He is aware that ther City Council previously considered the possibility of acquiring a 50 acre parcel from U.S Homes at the intersection of Dunkirk Lane and Cowity Road 9. Eric Blank and.I have previously discussed the suitability of Mr,. Scherber's site for a community playfield. Based upon our future need for community playfields, we hope to find a site which ia-'relatively free of undevelopable land. The Scherber parcel contains a good deal of land which is at or below the 100 year storm drainage requirements (see attached map) Based on this consideration, along with the Council's previous action on the U.S, Homes parcel, we informed. Mr. Scherber that we did not believe the G4%*.y would be interested in acquiring this property. Mr. Scherber has requested that the Council have an opportunity to consider his request. DEVELOPER'S OFFER TO SELL LAND FOR FUTURE COMMUNITY PLAYFIELD PARK October 4, 1990 for City Council Meeting of October 15, 1990 Page 2 Mr. Scherber has noted that the 87 acre site could provide sufficient land for both a community playfield site, as well as a junior high school for the Wayzata School District. The Council will recall that the school district has a committee looking at its future school needs. We have explored with the school district the possibility of having both a community playfield and a junior high school constructed on the U.S. Homes property. If that were done, the total acreage for both facilities could be reduced by virtue of the fact that there would be some sharing of common facilities, e.g., parking. The Scherber site might provide the same opportunities, depending on how the site could be laid out for a junior high, as well as a community playfield. JW:kec TREES TREES DHR 460 27 TF E 13" 2E.

STONE CREEK INTRODUCTION Stone Creek is a 87.76 -acre planned unit development consisting of 70 single-family homes, and 68 attached twin homes, and 7.58 acres of the tract will be dedicated to the.public for neighborhood park and trails. Craig Scherber is the principal developer of Stone Creek. Mr. Scherber has over ten years of successful building and development experience. Current developments located within the City of Plymouth include Kings North, Pine Meadows of Bass Lake, The Meadows of Bass Lake and Swan Lake West. These developments consist of lots that contain upscale housing that range in price from $175,000 to $400,000. LAND OWNERSHIP Mr. Craig Scherber is a contract for deed purchaser from property fee owner Quentin Stromseth. SITE The site is a 87.76 -acre tract of land bounded by Medina Road on the north, County Road 1101 on the west and County Road #24 on the south. SITE ANALYSIS A physical inventory of the site was undertaken in order to determine any development constraints, as well as to delineate prime developable land. The current land use for the site consists of preserved wetlands, undeveloped, and agriculture. 11 Community Planning • Site Design • Economic Development 9 Market Research Topography - Existing topography is gently rolling, interspersed with wetland depressions. There is no instance where grades exceed 12%. soils - The predominant soils contained within the site consist of Cordova, Hamel, Hayden and Hessel which are clay and clay loams that are suitable for structural and infrastucture development. Dundas and Glencoe are silty soils that exhibit poor development qualities. They are generally found in areas of wetland depressions. Vegetation - The site contains minor stands of over story trees and aquatic vegetation in wetland depression areas. The majority of the land within the site has been under intensive agricultural use. Wetlands - Wetlands cover approximately 11.58 acres of the site. They are proposed to be part of the City's stormwater retention system and are being maintained as an integral part of the development. ZONING The current zoning on the site if FRD (Future Residential Development). The proposed use of the site is as follows: 1. Southern 52.88 acres - L.A.-1 (Low Density Residential). 2. Northern 27.3 acres - L.A.-2 (Low Medium Density Residential). Development Stage - The entire site is within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (M.U.S.A.) Boundary. In addition, the site is within the City's 1990 Staged Growth Area.. At the present time, the City has authorized trunk sewer and water main extension to serve this site. PROPOSAL Concept Plan - The plan for Stone Creek proposes the construction of: 1. 70 single-family detached homes. 2. 34 attached twin home (68 units). 2 87.70 ACRES 3.8 ACRES 3.76 ACRES 80.18 ACRES 68 UNITS TO UNITS PRELIMINARY r ."...

Blank, Director of Parks and Recreation SUBJECT: PROPOSAL FOR PRIVATELY OPERATED ICE ARENA At their October 15 Council meeting, the City Council received a proposal for the development of an ice arena within the City of Plymouth. The proposed facility is to go in the location of the ice arena as proposed in the community center plan. The proposal that went before the City Council is explained in the attached document dated October 5 from City Manager Jim Willis to the Mayor and Council. At this point in time, I think the Commission can only address the major issue of whether or not you believe the City has a need for an ice arena. The issue of whether it should be publicly operated or contracted out through some type of lease agreement is something that could be addressed at a future date. If the developer could operate the rink as a financial success and provide revenue sharing with the City of Plymouth, this would be an advantageous situation. However, due to the fact that the ice arenas I'm aware of in the metropolitan area are losing money, I find it difficult to believe that these developers would be able to operate with a profit. As Jim indicates in his cover memo to me of October 16, if you think that there is a need for such a facility, your recommendation should be forwarded to the City Council and the financial task force, so they can explore further the financial implications of this proposal. EB/np attachment CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 DATE: October 16, 1990 TO: Eric Blank, Director of Park and Recreation FROM: James G. Willis, City Manager SUBJECT: PROPOSED ICE ARENA Last evening, the Council heard a presentation from Andy Benson and Robert Furst, regarding their proposal to construct an ice arena for Plymouth. At the conclusion of their presentation, the Council directed that this matter be referred to PRAC for their review and thereafter, have PRAC refer it to the City's Financial Task Force. Generally, I believe the Council was concerned that the City would be asked to expend $3,000,000 to provide a facility which would be run for the potential profit of others. Both Andy Benson and Robert Furst indicated that the matter of our program usage, as well as revenue sharing is an item which could be discussed. Councilmembers also expressed the concern as to the need for the facility, e.g., people aren't banging on our doors to demanding or requesting an ice arena, and certainly no one has come forward suggesting that they want to help pay for it. The major issue here is going to be capital costs. The Council is looking at several projects which are going to put a large drain on potential City resources. Unless the City wants to go out and bond for capital facilities, I doubt that it's going to have the resources to do everything that's being requested. The Financial Task Force will come into play here, I believe, and make recommendations to the City Council. It would be my view that the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission should review the proposal and if they conclude that it is an essential element of the community center, which is currently included within the CIP, then I think they can refer it to the Task Force for their prompt consideration. JW:kec MEMO s- 8 CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 DATE: October 5, 1990 TO: Mayor & City Council FROM: James G. Willis, City Manager\ SUBJECT: PROPOSED ICE ARENA 1. ACTION REQUESTED: Andrew Benson and Robert Furst have requested an opportunity to make a presentation to the Council regarding their proposal for an ice arena. Following this presentation, it is recommended that the Council provide direction to the staff with respect to future consideration of this proposal. The Council may wish to refer the proposal to the Financial Task Force for its consideration as part of its ongoing study of long-term City finances. 2. BACKGROUND: Earlier this year we were approached by Robert Furst and Andrew Benson, who expressed interest in privately developing an ice arena in Plymouth. Originally they were interested in the possibility of developing a privately owned and operated ice arena. They subsequently revised their proposal to the one which is currently before the Council. This proposal would have the private parties develop and operate an ice arena on the community center site. The City would own the facility. The ice arena would essentially fit the same footprint as the ice arena contemplated in the community center concept. The ice arena itself would be larger than the one we contemplated, an Olympic size rink, 100 x 200 feet versus 85 x 200 feet. Their proposal also has slightly more seating than we had contemplated, 1,000 versus 900, with the seating arranged on both sides of the rink. The proposers of this project have devoted a good deal of time developing plans for the proposed ice arena. Copies of those plans, as well as their proposal to develop, construct, and operate an arena are attached. PROPOSED ICE ARENA October 5, 1990 Page 2 The "bottom line" of their proposal would require that the City would be responsible for the construction costs of the project, estimated $3,000,000. They would operate the ice arena under contract to the City, and would be responsible for all operating expenses. They similarly would receive any operating profits, as well as be responsible for any operating loss. Messrs. Furst and Benson will be available Monday evening to present their proposal to the Council and respond to any questions the Council may have with respect to it. JW:kec Mr. James Willis S ember 14, 1990 City Manager/City of Plymouth SyEP I$ F9g0 3400 Plymouth Blvd. ±rUFPjY«fslC(f j r Plymouth, MN 55447 c7 RE: Proposed Ice Arena I. INTRODUCTION: The following information represents a proposal, for discussion purposes, to develop and construct an ice arena for the City of Plymouth. The proposed site is located off of Plymouth Boulevard, the site being a portion of the same tract of land previously contemplated for the construction of the Plymouth Community Center project. The proposed arena will be situated in the exact location designated for it in the Community Center project. The proposal concept calls for the arena to be developed and built, in accordance with City of Plymouth specifications and development guidelines, by the named developers. The entire project will be financed and managed by the developers, the end result being a completed structure ready for operation, a so-called turn -key" project. Under the terms of this proposal, upon completion of the ice arena facility, the City of Plymouth will purchase the said facility from the developers at a cost not to exceed $3,000,000.00. The developers in turn will manage the facility under contract to the City of Plymouth. The contract will extend over a period of two (2) years and stipulate that the management group operate the arena at no cost to the city, in other words, if operating expenses exceed revenue, the management group will be responsible for the difference, the City of Plymouth will not incur the cost difference. If revenues exceed the operation costs, the management group will retain these receipts as a management fee. II. ARENA DESCRIPTION & SPECIFICATIONS The proposed arena facility consists of a 48,335 square foot building housing an Olympic -sized ice sheet (2001x1001) and seating for 1000+ spectators. Design features include: 1. Glass -enclosed mezzanine area at the arena entrance area overlooking the ice surface and seating areas. 2. Concession areas on both entry and ice surface levels. 3. Full service cable -television broadcasting facilities. 4. Locker room facilities for youth hockey & high school hockey program use. t PAGE 2 PLYMOUTH; ,ARENA , PROPOSAL 5. Complete locker facilities for figure skating club/school use. 6_. Seating on both sides of the ice surface. 7. Toilet facilities on both the entry and ice levels. 8 Opaque glass strip along the west building Wall (4' high) to allow natural lighting into the arena. 9. Brick finish on three (3) exterior walls. " 10. Large tree -skating lobby at ice level to accommodate public skating. 11. Controlled exit/entrance points. The building construction will be managed in compliance with city requirements for competitive bidding. The developers will provide the construction financing for the project and manage the project through completion in conjunction with a general contracting construction firm selected jointly by the developer and the City of Plymouth. All construction contracts and subcontracts shall be let out for competitive bid with the City having the right to accept or reject any bid received. To the extent that the City's selection of a contractor causes the cost of construction to exceed that specified by the developer, said increase shall result in an appropriate increase in the sale price of the arena to the City.

PAGE 8 Plymouth Arena PROPOSAL III. ARENA MANAGEMENT The complete management of the ice arena operation will be handled by a management company to be created by the developers for the sole purpose of operating the Plymouth Arena facility. The management company will operate under contract to the City of Plymouth, the terms of such a contract to be negotiated by and between both parties. For the purposes of this proposal, the guidelines of a contract would require the management company to provide for the the successful operation of the arena in the following manner: 1. Establish and maintain an experienced and properly trained work force to run the arena facility. 2, obtain the required insurance coverage for exposure to liability, loss, and other insurance as deemed necessary by the City of Plymouth and the management company. 3. Assume responsibility for payment of all operating costs including utility expenses, employee wages, equipment repair and upkeep, and any other miscellaneous expenses required to operate the facility. 4. Maintain the building and the surrounding environs to a level of cleanliness and repair as required and agreed to between the City of Plymouth and the management company. In addition, the management company would market and supervise the renting of ice time and organization of subsequent activities at the arena, i.e. figure skating ice shows, hockey tournaments and games. The management company would retain all revenues obtained through the rental of ice and the organization of special events. The management company anticipates significant involvement with accredited figure skating organizations, as well as involvement with high school and youth.hockey programs. The management company will be responsible for the entire operating costs of the arena and will pay for any costs not covered by the operating revenues earned through the duration of the contract. It is anticipated that a contract period of two (2) years will be an acceptable term. The contract is renewable upon the agreement upon the agreement of both parties after the term of the contract has expired. PAGE 9 Plymouth Arena PROPOSAL IV. SUMMARY The construction of this facility will benefit the City of Plymouth by attracting various groups and organizations to Plymouth, and creating revenue for businesses in the area. People attending skating shows and hockey tournaments from out of town, will most likely lodge and eat at the hotels and restaurants at the Highway 494 and Highway 55 intersection and the surrounding area. Additional retail businesses might also be opened to accomodate the increased traffic in the area. The arena will provide an important source of recreation for the citizens of Plymouth. Various Plymouth groups and organizations will be able to call this arena their home; no longer will they be relegated to less desirable dates and times at ice arenas in Eden Prarie, Minnetonka, Bloomington, or New Hope, to name a few, to enjoy public, figure and hockey skating. The arena will also be a source of pride for the community. It will represent the only Olympic -sized skating facility in the Twin Cities. That, along with an experienced and professional management team, will make the Plymouth Arena the showcase of ice skating activity and arena operation in the Minneapolis -St. Paul area. Andrew Benson Robert Furst Developers, Plymouth Ice Arena October 9, 1990 Mrs. Barbara Edwards 3935 Orleans Lane Plymouth, MN 55441 Dear Barbara: Thank you for your 22 years of service to Plymouth as a member of the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission! Over the past two decades, you have had the opportunity of drafting the blueprint for Plymouth's park system. In those early years, I know that there was a great deal more "hoping" than real "planning." The then village of Plymouth had little in the way of funds for proper park development and was faced with other major problems of early growth, particularly those involving the installation of public utilities. You and your fellow PRAC members stuck with it and over the year, were able to not only develop comprehensive park plans, but execute them as well. The results are now throughout the community and bear witness to the fine work that you brought to PRAC. Your contributions over the years to the City, not only as a member of PRAC, but also as an active community citizen have been truly appreciated. We wish you and Jim both only the best in the years ahead. Yours truly, J VeG.

A simple "thank you" doesn't do you justice. You have exemplified all the great characteristics of volunteers. Your attendance at meetings has been exceptional; your preparation for the meetings, such as visiting sites, has been outstanding; your participation and leadership at the meetings, under the most difficult and heated discussions, has been well thought out and articulate. Anyone that has ever listened to you, could only come to the conclusion that Barb Edwards has the best interests of all the citizens of Plymouth in her heart. On behalf of all the park and recreation staff, I want to thank you for all that you have done, and wish you, Jim and the rest of your family the very best in the years that lie ahead.

You have devoted most of your adult life to PRAC. You have contributed to the vast improvement of the Parks and Recreation facilities in the City of Plymouth. Your devotion to PRAC will be missed and your knowledge of the years of PRAC activities will be lost. All commissioners extend best wishes for your future and again, thanks for all your time and effort, making the City of Plymouth a better place to live. Sincerely, 4 Frank H. Freels Chairman PRAC.

ADMINISTRATIVE ASsOW OAR( COMMISSION G CITY ATTORNEY OTHER MR It is with my deepest regrets that I have to send this letter. Because we will be moving out of Plymouth at the end of September, I am giving you notice of my resignation from the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission. This is done with much sadness. I have been on PRAC for a long-time, as you know, 22 years. I have met some wonderful people, PRAC members, staff, park and recreation people, business people, council members and lots of citizens. I have seen a tremendous growth and development in our parks and recreation system and am proud to have been a part of that. I have some rich memories. Ever since I became a PRAC member I have had a dream for a Plymouth Community Center. For many years Plymouth has needed a central center for so many activities. I thought that dream was to have come true, I hope that some day soon it will. I hope that the people in Plymouth realize that we need facilities which can be used year around and by all ages. The best to you, Frank, as chair and to your future leadership of PRAC, to Rick, Phyllis, Don, Carol and Marlene and to my great friends on staff, the best, Eric, Mary, Rick, Nancy, Mark and all. I will really miss all of you, but keep up the good work and great parks. I will still be working in Plymouth and I'll use the parks and visit. I will always have love and a warm feeling for Plymouth and hope that some day we can return to live here or nearby.
