CALL TO ORDER Chair Anderson called the July meeting to order at 7:10 p.m. in the Council Conference Room. 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES A motion was made by Commissioner Willegalle and seconded by Commissioner Wahl to approve the minutes of the June meeting as presented. The motion carried with all ayes. 3. VISITOR PRESENTATIONS a. Athletic Associations. None were present. b. Staff. None were present. c. Others. None were present. 4. PAST COUNCIL ACTION a. Council approved the master plan for West Medicine Lake City Park. A soils analysis consultant and survey work consultant will be hired as soon as possible to begin their respective tasks. Director Blank briefly discussed the letter received from residents who oppose the location of the tennis and basketball courts. He shared with commissioners a copy of his written response to these residents and indicated that when the design consultant begins the more detailed work on the location of these particular facilities, the residents will be invited to come in and discuss their concerns. Commissioner Johnson commented that the individual who wrote the letter objecting to the location of the basketball court has a son who frequently plays basketball at Commissioner Johnson's residence. b. Council approved the master plan for Seven Ponds neighborhood park. Excess fill from another development has been delivered to this site, which will reduce some of the construction costs. Director Blank hopes to have bids from contractors in by August 1 with Council awarding the construction contract on August 15. Work could then begin on or about September 1. Staff is meeting with a resident who is next to one of the proposed trail entrances. c. Council officially approved the 1994-98 CIP at a recent meeting. Many projects that were part of the 1994 capital improvements budget were delayed, but will now be able to get underway. d. Council awarded the construction contract for the accessible playground to Earl F. Andersen and Associates. Director Blank said it will take approximately six weeks to build the playground and about another six weeks to install it. This is one of the largest playground manufacturers in the country, and this particular play structure will be a major feature in their next catalog. 5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS a. Study of unique open spaces. Director Blank explained that the Open Space Committee has been meeting every other week for the past several months reviewing several sites and attempting to prioritize them for preservation and possible acquisition. There are two sites at the present time that are proposed for development in the immediate future. Both sites have been ranked high for preservation, and the Open Space Committee has made a recommendation that both of these sites be acquired. One is the Daniel Development site, located near Cardinal Ridge in the northeast corner of Plymouth. The City currently owns a large parcel adjacent to this site which has been identified as a future neighborhood park. Director Blank stated that Council has directed him to negotiate the possible purchase of additional land here, because the developer has indicated a willingness to sell some of the property to the city. The other site is adjacent to French Park and is owned by Mission Partnership. Commissioner Wahl stated that Hennepin Parks has indicated that if this site is acquired, they will accept the property as part of French Park and will manage it, if the City will help to acquire it. Director Blank indicated that negotiations to acquire this site have begun with the hiring of an appraiser to determine the value of the property. The owner of the property and the city are sharing the cost of the appraisal. Some residents from Cardinal Ridge were present on behalf of acquiring additional property from Daniel Development. Robert Hammer was concerned about a July 31 deadline that was given to the City by the developer to acquire the property or else development would begin. Another resident commented that she thought the deadline had been relaxed, once it became apparent that the developer and the city were discussing the possible acquisition of some of the property. Carla Novak, another Cardinal Ridge resident, commented on the natural features of the area and stated that it was one of the things that attracted her to the area in the first place. She encouraged the City to acquire the property. Ken Wendinger, also from Cardinal Ridge, commented that these are prime wetlands, a valuable asset to the city and should be preserved. The following motion was made by Commissioner Wahl and seconded by Commissioner Johnson based on a recommendation made by the Open Space Committee at their meeting just prior to the PRAC meeting: WHEREAS, SITES #4 AND #7 ARE HIGHLY RANKED AND ARE UNDER THE THREAT OF DEVELOPMENT, AND WHEREAS SITES #4 AND #7 EACH HAVE THEIR OWN UNIQUE NATURAL FEATURES, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL PURSUE THE ACQUISITION OF AS MUCH OR ALL OF BOTH SITES AS IS ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE. The motion carried with all ayes. Commissioner Wahl asked for PRAC's indulgence to modify this motion if necessary before forwarding it to the City Council, if it had not been properly interpreted from the earlier Open Space meeting. Chair Anderson commented that the work of the Open Space Committee isn't finished at this time and that they will continue to meet on a regular basis. They still plan to present some sort of master plan to the Park Commission and City Council on the overall ranking of the individual sites. Commissioner Bildsoe asked if money had been set aside for the acquisition of these properties. Director Blank commented that the 1994 CIP has allocated $250,000 for this purpose. Commissioner Mikula urged both PRAC and the Open Space Committee to give strong consideration to the larger parcels when considering which sites to preserve. b. Accessible playground update. Director Blank discussed the awarding of the construction contract and indicated that actual construction is about 12 weeks away. Commissioner Wahl commented on the severity of the parking problem at Plymouth Creek Park and how it will get worse after the accessible playground is installed, because many of the parking stalls will be assigned to the handicapped. Director Blank said the parking problem will be alleviated somewhat by different scheduling of one of the soccer fields. c. 1994 trail construction proiects. Feasibility reports are being done by Strgar-Roscoe- Fausch. Commissioner Johnson asked if our trails are smooth enough to accommodate in-line skaters since this is such a popular activity. Director Blank responded that the City has a budget for overlaying trails with one-half inch of asphalt to make them smoother. This is done on a trail by trail basis only as trails need to be resurfaced. Director Blank commented that due to the increasing popularity of this activity, PRAC should discuss at a future meeting the possibility of paving a hockey rink for the purpose of in-line skating and roller -hockey. d. Seven Ponds neighborhood park update. Discussed earlier under Item 4b. 6. NEW BUSINESS There was no new business to discuss. 7. COMMISSION PRESENTATION Commissioner Wahl made a motion thanking Commissioner Mikula for her commitment and dedication to PRAC. This was her last meeting. She is moving to California in August. Commissioner Willegalle asked how the concerts were going at Parkers Lake. He wondered if there had been any complaints of noise. Director Blank said the concerts are well attended, and he has not had any negative comments. 8. STAFF COMMUNICATION Director Blank introduced David Priebe, who is replacing Lynn Mikula on the Park Commission. Mr. Priebe will begin officially in September. Director Blank announced that he would like to cancel the August meeting if possible, because he will be on vacation the week of the regular meeting. Possible items for discussion on future agendas include: Reviewing the trail system plan for possible changes, etc. If changes are recommended, a public hearing would have to be held by the Planning Commission. Studying the items ranked high in the survey done last year by the Minnesota Center for Survey research. The 1995-99 CIP. The possibility of acquiring park land for the Amberwoods area neighborhood park. After deciding to keep their privately owned park, some of the residents now want the City to provide them with a new neighborhood park. Related to this, the Greenwood PTO has indicated their interest in the City upgrading the playground structure at Greenwood Elementary. The Wayzata School Board has now purchased 130 acres for their new high school site. Thirty acres are remaining for the City to acquire for purposes of the 9th playfield. Director Blank stated that the School District will not proceed with the actual design of the school until after the November election. They will be asking for excess tax levy in November and if the voters don't approve, the school will not be constructed. If the tax levy is approved, and the school construction begins, it will take approximately two years to complete. The school is scheduled to open in the fall of '97. The associated 30 acres that the City intends to purchase would be used for an adult sports complex. Upon completion of that playfield, all the adult games that have been scheduled at Zachary Playfield would be moved to this new facility, and the Zachary complex would be turned over to youth athletics. 9.

Option 1 projects current park dedication fee of $945 to increase to $995 in 1995 and increase thereafter by the rate of property value growth rate. , Option 2 increases the current rate to $1250 (the current maximum) over 3 years, (plus property value growth) and thereafter increases are at the rate of property value growth. Option 3 generates the most income by increasing the current rate to the maximum rate of $1250 (plus increases in property value during that time) over one year, thereafter increases are at the rate of property value growth. Assumptions: Total park dedication and acquisition expense in today's dollars are estimated at $11.3 million ($15.5 million total less $4.2 TIF and funds). Park expenses are expected to occur on a even basis over 10 years. Expenses are inflated at the rate of inflation (2.5%), compounded yearly. Based on historical trends for the past 10 years, property values are expected to increase at 4.5% per year Three scenarios for growth are examined: low growth (550 housing starts per year), medium growth (650 starts) and high growth). Rates of growth have little impact on total revenue, compounded, by the year 2005, but would effect available funding needs before 2005. Total available acres remaining for development are 800 residential within MUSA line, 650 commercial, and 2000 acres outside the MUSA line. Recommendation: Increase the park dedication fee to the maxim over a three year period. This will mitigate the increase over a•period of time and will insure maximum coverage of proposed expenditures. Park Dedication Surplus (Deficit) Revenues less Expense year 2005 Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 Option 1 projects current park dedication fee of $945 to increase to $995 in 1995 and increase thereafter by the rate of inflation. Option 2 increases the current rate to $1250 (the current maximum) over 3 years, (plus inflation) and thereafter increases are at the rate of inflation Option 3 generates the most income by increasing the current rate to the maximum rate of $1250 by the year 1995, (plus inflation), thereafter, increases are at the rate of inflation.

We are on a cul-de-sac that is a dead end. Recently,we have had numerous people during the past several months using ouryard as the means to get from other neighborhoods to and from the school. We have been upset and angry because these people with dogs, children on bikes,buggies and wagons have been using our yard as a walkway. Every weekend it seems we are assisting these people find their destination by usingour yard as the path backhome or to the school grounds. Last weekend we helped a poor distraught grandfather find his way back home while he was taking his granddaughter for a walk in a buggy while visiting his relatives. We've even had people pass through the yard at late night hours. In the spring we have many children walling through our yard as they go on their way to and from school The problem is that there is no complete path for these people to walk on. We have a paved asphalt path that leads to the school property from our development but it is not finished as yet. The school portion needs to be completed onthe schoolproperty. We understand the remaining path is to be paved by the school district. We think paving a path would be very helpful for our situation but, more important it would provide a safe means of walking space to and from school for our children. The children walk in the field which has rocks, branches and debris on the ground and it is also wet and muddy at times, an unsafe environment. Many residents in our development have stressed a concern that they would like for their children to walk to school but not until there is a safe way to go. The school district could save transportation dollars by making this a walking area but, only if there is a completed path for the students to follow. We hope that this path can be a reality and that it be completed soon. The residents of Bridlewood Farms and Saddlebrookare in need of this path. We would appreciate this path being completed soon for our privacy but more concerning for the safety of our children and our neighbor's children. We would appreciate your response on this issue. Thank you. n Panda i L iMkegatndethLichtenberg3670LaneNorth Plymouth, Minn. 55446 cc Mr.EricBlank - CityofPlymouth ) Peter & Cathy Davis 17240 33rd Avenue North Plymouth, NIN 55447 Mr. Dan Faulkner City Engineer Plymouth City Center 3400 Plymouth Blvd. Plymouth, MN 55447 June 14, 1994 Dear Mr. Faulkner, I would like to request that the City of Plymouth install a sidewalk along Medina Road Residents on Holly Lane are stranded on their no -outlet street. Children must walk or ride, their bikes on Medina Road in order to access play equipment at the local elementary school or eventually the new neighborhood park. For any exercise, area residents must walk, ride or skate along Medina road. The speed limit along Medina Road is 40 mph, however, cars frequently speed along this route (including school busses and construction trucks). Because of the curves and landscaping along Medina Road, in addition to the early morning and late afternoon sun which blinds drivers, cars cannot see pedestrians. There have been many instances when I have been forced off the curb onto the muddy berm because of reckless drivers. Other drivers merely do not wish to exercise caution by switching lanes and instead remain in the lane closest to the curb as they pass me. This hazard is magnified during the winter when the snow and ice make the road narrow and slippery. While the neighborhood streets do not have sidewalks, drivers know to proceed with caution because their own children may be playing in the street. Drivers on Medina, however, are not accustomed to driving cautiously, while those same children are on the road. A sidewalk along Medina Road, from County Road 24 to the Plymouth/Medina city limit would provide safe access to the park and elementary school for residents of Seven Ponds, Heather Run, Bridlewood and Saddlebrook. Sincerely, Cathy Dal is August 12, 1994 Ms. Cathy Davis 17240 33rd Ave. N. Plymouth, MN 55447 SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR SIDEWALK ALONG MEDINA ROAD Dear Ms. Davis: I am responding to your June 14, 1994 letter to me requesting the City of Plymouth to install a sidewalk along Medina Road from, County Road 24 to the Medina City limits. I apologize for this lengthy delay in my response. For your information, the City has a Comprehensive Trail and Sidewalk System Plan which is handled by the City's Park and Recreation Department. The plan does not provide for any type of trail system along Medina Road from County Road 24 to the Medina City limits. A bituminous trail is indicated on the plan along County Road 24, a portion of which will be constructed with the current County Road 24 Improvement Project. The plan also calls for a bituminous trail along County Highway 101, a portion of which has recently been constructed along the east side adjacent to the Heather Run Development north of County Road 24 to near Medina Road. While there is not a city or private trail system for residents such as yourself along Holly Lane, there is now at least a local road nearby, i.e., Jewel Lane and 32nd Avenue which will get you to the County Highway 101 trail. If you still have concerns and you wish to pursue your request further, I suggest you contact Eric Blank, Parks and Recreation Director as your request would entail a Comprehensive Plan change to the adopted Trail Plan. If you have further questions, please contact me at 550-5071. Sincerely, Uezl t (yl 4Zu 0 Daniel L. Faulkner, P.E. City Engineer cc: Fred G.

This trail/path would provide the following: 1) It would provide a safe place for the school children to stand while waiting for the school bus. The Director of Transportation for the Wayzata Schools will not allow the school bus to enter the cul-de-sac on Fountain Lane. Therefore, the children stand on the corner of Old Rockford Road and Fountain Lane in the street. The current 50 mph speed on Old Rockford Road makes the children's safety a very important issue. 2) This trail/path would also provide a safe access to pedestrians attempting to get other neighborhood developments and city trails. The enclosed page is a list of the residents in Holly Creek I development. All residents of the development have expressed their concern by signing the attached petition. Your prompt response to this issue would be greatly appreciated as the 1994/1995 school year is about to begin.

The new resurfacing is wonderful and the entire area is such a great place for all of us in this heavily trafficed area to walk, bike, rollerblade etc. This morning my husband and I walked the 3.4 miles from our door through this trail and back. Although it was only 8 a.m. we encountered seven of our neighbors on this trail. Beyond that there were many other people enjoying the early morning stroll or power walking through the tunnels to the park. I don't know whether you are aware or not, but on the Saturday morning in June when we had our annual Plymouth Creek cleanup day a group of our volunteer workers swept and hosed out the tunnel under County road #9. Consequently, this section of the path has been very clean and accessible all summer. We really do enjoy this trail and on behalf of the residents of Plymouth Creek townhomes I wish to say again, "Thank you". Sincerely, 7) Mary Merry 28 August 1994 Eric Blank Plymouth Park & Recreation 3400 Plymouth Blvd. Plymouth, MN 55447 Dear Eric: Thank you for keeping me informed about the potential sand volleyball courts to be added to the Parker's Lake Park area for outdoor useage in 1995. After examining the lakefront grounds, 1 intend to make recommendations for two possible sites of their placement. Please refer to the rough sketch for reference, with location preferences marked as Site A and B, respectively. In each case, I recommend that the following be considered in the construction of courts: dual -court system level fields of play quality, abundant volleyball sand that should be replenished periodically sturdy posts with durable nets referee stations Aestically, Site A is my preferred choice. It is close to existing playground and picnic areas, has a good view of the lake, and requires minimal leveling of the existing terrain. It does, however, have a limited expanse of area. Adequate margins from obstructions should be allocated as safety zones for players. I envision site A as creating a lot of viewing and playing interest. Its proximity to the already mentioned park activities would be convenient for families and groups. Site B is an acceptable spot for a dual -court system. It consists of a large expansive area which is readily visible from the main roads and would make good use of the current underutilized ground. Upon inspection, the ground would require considerable leveling, however, and is also remote from the other park activities. Building the courts on Site B may not draw much park interest from potential on -lookers. Site B would be a very attractive site if the city decided to construct a sand volleyball "complex" of multiple courts and other ammenities to spur involvement in an increasingly popular sport. Perhaps a complex is nct in the city plans now but proper placement of courts at site B should allow for such future expansion. As I live in the Parker's Lake area and have an interest in playing sand volleyball, I would like to see these courts become a reality. My recommendations on court construction is based on playing experience at the East Medicine Lake beach courts. City leagues and other opportunities for organized open play at Parker's Lake would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Thomas A.
