c. Others. See item 5 a.
4. PAST COUNCIL ACTION
Hennepin Parks received authorization from the Plymouth City Council to condemn
railroad right of way from CNW Railroad for the extension of the Luce Line trail from 494
to Highway 169. Also approved was a joint effort between the City and Hennepin Parks to
conduct a feasibility report on the establishment of a trail from West Medicine Lake Drive
around the south end of the lake and up the east shore to French Regional Park.
5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
a. Private swimming pool update by Classic Lake Aquatics (CLA). Classic Lake
Aquatics appeared before the Commission for the second time with the findings of their
feasibility study conducted by students from the College of St. Thomas. Tom Franke,
of CLA, reviewed for the Commission some of the information they presented at the
meeting they attended last November. They repeated their request that the City donate
the land for the aquatics facility and stated that they had honored the City's request to
conduct a feasibility study. Mr. Franke explained that the mission of CLA was to: 1)
promote the benefits of swimming for all people, 2) meet the needs of the surrounding
community and 3) locate an aquatics facility in Plymouth or a northwest suburb.
PRAC Minutes/June 1995
Page 20
The project itself consists of: 1) a 15 x 25 yard zero depth recreational pool which
could also contain a water slide, 2) a 15 x 25 yard lesson and exercise pool, 3) a 50
meter, 8 -lane competitive pool, 4) locker rooms, 5) an exercise area, and 6) a senior
citizens center. Mr. Franke explained that he had visited with seniors living at Towne
Square and had received enthusiastic comments from them regarding the possibility of
such a facility being so close to them. They were particularly excited about the
prospect of having a large meeting room with kitchen facilities and the recreational
pool.
Teri Erhardt of CLA then explained the research objectives of the demand study which
had been conducted by the St. Thomas students. The objectives were: 1) determine
the demand for an aquatics center, and 2) determine if revenues would be sufficient to
support the expenses. She explained that the questionnaire was designed to determine
the demographic profile of the residents, the interest level of the residents in an
aquatics center, the interest for additional services and the amount residents would be
willing to pay for such a facility. The questionnaire was sent to 1,500 households, and
about 375 responded (or 25 %). Of those responding, 55 % indicated some interest in
such a facility. Eighty one percent of those had children. The questionnaire asked
what activities residents would participate in if such a facility were built. Eighty-one
percent said they would use it for recreational swimming, 44 % said they would use it
for water exercise, 15 % would use it for lap swimming, 8 % would rent the facility,
and 6% said they would use it for competitive swimming. Another question asked
what additional amenities people desired. Eighty-five percent said exercise equipment,
85 % said therapeutic pool, 82 % said workout room, 78 % said lap swimming, 76 %
said concessions, 74% said waterslide, and 54% said retail. The questionnaire asked
how much people would be willing to pay to use an aquatics center. 18 % would be
willing to pay $30 per month, 5% would pay $25, 25% would pay $20, 34% would
pay $15 and 18 % would pay a fee less than $15. Teri concluded her remarks by saying
that the target market of the feasibility study was households with children, that the
respondents' highest interest was in family type recreational activities with swimming
coming out on top, and that the location of such a facility was very important to them.
Doug Gerrick of CLA then made the presentation on the finances. They have
estimated the following annual expenses:
Equivalent of 11 full-time employees 748,200
Utilities 175,000
Chemicals 30,000
Supplies 65,000
Maintenance 30,000
Marketing 25,000
Liability 30,000
Refuse 10,000
Reserves 20.000
TOTAL 1,133,200
PRAC Minutes/June 1995
Page 21
They estimate the following annual revenues:
Annual memberships (3,000 @ $180 ea.) $540,000
Daily use passes 200,000
Seasonal/Corporate passes 150,000
Lesson fees 200,000
Rental fees 200,000
Concessions/Advertising 150,000
TOTAL 1,305,000
When asked how they arrived at a figure of $200,000 for swimming lessons, Mr.
Gerrick was not able to provide a precise answer. He explained that the figure was
based on a number of different scenarios, such as different types of lessons costing
different amounts, etc. He did state that usually a session consists of 10 lessons and
should cost approximately $30. He also indicated that the pool would have to be
programmed all day long every day in order to bring in that amount. Commissioners
asked Mr. Gerrick if it was possible to keep the pool going at that pace year after year.
Mr. Gerrick was sure that it would be.
Mr. Franke then explained just what the facility would incorporate as they have it
designed. He stated that it would contain three separate bodies of water, and could also
house a senior center, community room, and kitchen. They have received a bid from a
well-known company, PCL Construction, for $5,500,000. Mr. Franke said this was
on the high end and would likely cost less if other bids were considered.
Commissioner Bildsoe asked CLA where they intended to get the $5,500,000 to build
the facility. Mr. Franke explained that they were not able to solicit funds until they
completed the feasibility study showing the anticipated revenues. Now that they have
that information, they intend to seek funding from a variety of sources, such as private
corporations, health agencies, individual contributions, etc.
CLA concluded their presentation by repeating their request that the City donate the
land for the aquatics facility somewhere near Plymouth Boulevard and 37th Avenue,
and support them in their efforts to gain approval from the City Council.
Commission members had a few comments and questions following CLA's
presentation. Commissioner Johnson wondered if any interest payments were reflected
in the expenses projections? CLA said no. He also wondered about the facility being
open 365 days a year. CLA said that it would probably be closed around five days out
of the year for various reasons. Commissioner Priebe was concerned about the
popularity of an indoor pool in the summer months. CLA responded that people seem
to prefer to be outside in the summer, but that the facility could be designed to `let the
outdoors in" with lots of windows, etc. Commissioner Anderson mentioned the
committee that has been studying youth facility needs in Plymouth and commented that
PRAC was not in a position at this time to make any commitments regarding a pool
until after the results of that study are concluded. Director Blank stated also that the
PRAC Minutes/June 1995
Page 22
Downtown Plymouth" planning group has met twice, and they are interested in some
sort of recreation facility being located in this area.
Chair Anderson thanked CLA for their presentation and indicated that staff would stay
in touch with them about the findings of the youth facility needs study.
b. West Medicine Lake Park update. Director Blank stated that permits should all be
granted by the end of July. The next step after that will be to get approval of the final
plans and specifications, followed by going out for bid. He explained that an
environmental assessment worksheet had been requested by Dick Milner. Director
Blank said that an archaeological review had been done which discovered one Indian
burial mound located under the old road. He explained that this probably would not
affect the project.
c. Open spaces update. Director Blank thanked all who had worked so diligently on the
open space committee and on getting the word out to vote on May 23. He stated that
the attorneys will begin working on purchase agreements for the four sites. He also
indicated that he will be asking the City Council to authorize feasibility reports on the
19 segments of trail to help determine which ones to complete fust. He expects that all
the segments will be finished within 18 months.
d. Playfield/highschool update. Director Blank distributed copies of the program planned
for the groundbreaking ceremony scheduled for Monday, June 5. He encouraged all
the commissioners to attend and explained that parking will be at Kimberly Lane
Elementary with buses transporting people to the highschool site. There is a meeting
with the grading contractor on Monday. The estimate for the grading is $300,000.
e. Study of youth sports facilities update. Director Blank stated that the committee has
met twice and will likely take most of the summer to complete their findings.
Commissioner Bildsoe asked if the committee will be prioritizing facilities. Director
Blank responded that once the needs have been determined, they would probably be
placed in some sort of priority order.
Director Blank commented that the City of Shoreview, after opening its community
center, began subsidizing it at $150,000 per year. That figure is now up to about
250,000. Their success rate is not as strong as the Classic Lake Aquatics group
implied. He also confirmed the Commission's understanding that the CLA facility
would be privately owned without City involvement and that it would be in competition
with our swimming program, Wayzata Community Education's swimming program and
other similar programs in the area. Director Blank said that he wants to keep the lines
of communication open with this group, however, because they are very enthusiastic
and will get things done. He believes it would be beneficial for PRAC to visit some of
the community centers that have aquatics facilities, such as Shoreview, Chaska, and
Maplewood. He would also like a joint meeting with the City Council and PRAC
sometime after the results of the youth sports facilities study are known for the purpose
of discussing mutual interests. PRAC members concurred that this was a good idea.
PRAC Minutes/June 1995
Page 23
f. Update on new neighborhood park playgrounds.sand volleyballroller hockey.
Director Blank stated that Timber Shores playground is 75 % completed, Mission Hills
playground is being assembled, and Schmidt Lake's playground equipment has just
arrived. The sand volleyball court at Parkers Lake is basically done, and nets should
go up June 3. The roller hockey rink at Plymouth Creek is being graded and the
paving should take place by June 16. The trail in Seven Ponds Park has been graded
and should be paved soon. Director Blank said a ribbon cutting ceremony will be
planned this summer that will include both the accessible playground and new roller
hockey rink at Plymouth Creek Park.
6. NEW BUSINESS
a. 1996-2000 CIP discussion. Director Blank reviewed the 1996 CIP and explained the
addition of the Greenwood Elementary playground improvement. He reminded the
Commission that the City has in the past normally contributed up to $10,000 toward
playground improvements. He stated that this amount has been the standard figure for
many years now, and it might be time to review whether or not it is sufficient,
considering that playground improvements now can cost over $60,000. He also
commented that the Greenwood playground might be worthy of a larger contribution
than the standard $10,000 because the residents in this area have contributed over
400,000 in park dedication fees. Director Blank pointed out that the 1996-2000 CIP
does not include any funds for golf courses, pools, etc.
b. Federal Duck Stamp Contest - local winner recognition. Director Blank announced that
a resident of Plymouth, Jim Hautman, won the 1995 Federal Duck Stamp contest. He
is being honored in July at a special ceremony to be held at the Mega Mall. Mayor
Tierney will be making a presentation. Director Blank suggested that PRAC may want
to consider naming one of the open space areas after Mr. Hautman, since he happens to
live adjacent to the one at County Road 73 and his art work has contributed
20,000,000 to the preservation of wildlife. Director Blank then reminded PRAC that
it has been the City's policy not to name a park after an individual. There was some
debate then on whether or not it was a good idea to name a park after Mr. Hautman.
Some commissioners thought it was all right to do so, while others were concerned it
might set a precedent. Commissioner Johnson suggested naming the park `Mallards
Park," which is the name of the winning painting. This would still honor the artist
without actually naming the park after a person. There was more discussion then, and
it was finally decided to carry this item over to the July meeting, because no consensus
could be reached.
c. Feasibility report on use of Ess property for park purposes. Director Blank stated that
the City Council has been offered this property for use as a 494 -Schmidt Lake Road
interchange, but the Council has held off making any decision on purchasing it. They
directed that PRAC review it for possible use as a park. Director Blank indicated that a
feasibility study needs to be done to determine if the land would be suitable for
ballfields, etc., and where the access would be. A MOTION WAS MADE BY
COMMISSIONER BILDSOE AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER FIEMAN TO
PRAC Minutes/June 1995
Page 24
RECOMMEND THAT A FEASIBILITY STUDY BE DONE ON THE ESS
PROPERTY TO DETERMINE ITS SUITABILITY AS ATHLETIC FIELDS. THE
MOTION CARRIED WITH ALL AYES.
d. Safety fencing - baseball fields. Director Blank stated that the youth baseball
associations from Plymouth -Wayzata and New Hope -Plymouth have both requested that
the City install safety fencing down the first and third baselines of fields at Pilgrim
Lane, Zachary, Birchview and Greenwood elementary schools. Park maintenance has
some money which has been allocated for upgrading fencing at some of our existing
park sites, and they estimate that to do the same at these four sites, which includes
eight fields, will cost about $9,000. Director Blank believes that it would be in
everyone's best interest to go ahead with these improvements. A MOTION WAS
MADE BY COMMISSIONER FIEMAN AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER
PRIEBE TO RECOMMEND THE INSTALLATION OF SAFETY FENCING AT A
COST OF $9,000. THE MOTION CARRIED WITH ALL AYES.

Dear Larry:
Thank you for your letter of May 30th concerning New Hope/Plymouth Baseball. I'm happy
to report that the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission, at their meeting of June 1,
approved a resolution recommending that $9,000 be allocated for safety fencing at various
elementary schools throughout the City. Specifically, the two fields at Zachary Elementary
and Pilgrim Lane Elementary have been recommended for inclusion in this improvement. The
Commission's recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for their consideration
on Tuesday, June 20. - I have submitted requests to the Robbinsdale School District to make
these improvements and assuming that it is approved, I anticipate that we would move forward
as quickly as possible to have this work completed.
Thank you for your interest in this matter. If you have any further questions please feel free to

Dear Mayor Tierney,
CO 1_."'_
Thank you for hearing our concerns regarding New Hope -Plymouth
Athletic Association (NHPAA) baseball on April 27th. _
Enclosed are copies of our field inspections with comments and or
corrective proposals. Also included our NHPAA Philosophy. Please
note our primary concern (highlited).
For Plymouth playfields it would be greatly appreciated if, fences
could be installed in front of the players, benches at Zachary
Elementary fields 1 & 2. Also Pilgrim Lane Elementary. With an
average of 70 - 100 at bats per.game the possibility of someone
sustaining injury from a foul ball hit toward these benches
increases with every game. Last week I had the opportunity to
observe a game in Chisago Lakes (vs. NHPAA 13 year olds). This
field had six foot high fences in front of both benches and served
its purpose well.
This initial help would be warmly applauded by parents, coaches and
of course players.
Thanks again for your time and. consideration. Our NHPAA committee
was encouraged to see that our concerns were also yours.
Sincerely

Larry Mandile (Commissioner)
NEW HOPE/ PLYMOUTH
ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
NHPAA PHILOSOPHY - The NHPAA philosophy is that, the association,
coaches and parents are striving to teach the players the fundamentals and
rules of the game of baseball, while providing an appropriate environment to
learn and have fun. All players have an equal opportunity to participate.
To encourage this philosophy:
CHILDREN'S SAFETY will always be our fust concern, not the impact on the score or game.
The preferred number of players per team for any league is 13 players. The lowest number of players
initially assigned to a team should not be less than 12. The maximum number of players assigned to a tean
should not be more than 15.
NHPAA Baseball philosophy is that ALL children have a chance to play baseball as far as is humanly
possible, thus the maximum number of players per team could be adjusted or anew team (s) setup.
It is the job of the coach to instill in his players the concepts of good sportsmanship, positive attitude, and
team work This must be demonstrated in practices and games, while dealing with other coaches, umpires,
parents and players.
Coaches are responsible for the behavior of their players and their families and friends while attending a
game. All efforts should be made to inform spectators of the need for good sportsmanship and properbehavioratthegame.
Spectators are to encourage and cheer on the players on their respective teams, while demonstrating good
sportsmanship.
Spectators will not engage in coaching, umpiring or discussions with the coaches or umpires during the
game.
The only people allowed to discuss calls and decisions with the umpires are the coaches
District 281 is smoke and drug free and any games or practices on their fields must be smoke and drugfree, including spectators. We appreciate everybody cooperation..

Mr. Don Anderson, Chairperson
Plymouth Park & Recreation Commission
3400 Plymouth Boulevard
Plymouth, Minnesota 55447
On behalf of Classic Lake Aquatics, Inc., I want to thank you and your commission
for allowing Tom Franke, Doug Gerick, Teri Kent, the University of St. Thomas
students and myself the opportunity to present our demand study findings relative
to our proposed aquatic facility.
We are excited about the results of this long-awaited study and find the interest in
this facility compelling. We also understand this is a significant project from a
financial perspective, and have tempered our excitement with realistic and
conservative projections based upon the usage, revenues and expenditures of other
pool facilities and community centers in the metropolitan area.
We are committed to "promoting the values of swimming for all people" and believe
a center such as this would be enthusiastically received by Plymouth residents,
attract the attention of surrounding communities and benefit all people who enjoy
water activities.
As we discussed last night, we consider some of the information which we gathered
to be confidential in nature. If, however, you require any specific information,
please call me at 553-9703 and I will arrange for you to receive it.
Thank you again, Don, for your consideration_ We look forward to the opportunity
of perhaps working with the City of Plymouth in the near future in establishing a
facility and programs to meet the needs in our community.
Sincerely,
Classic Lake Aquatics, Inc.
