CALL TO ORDER Chair Anderson called the September meeting to order at 6:35 p.m. in the Council Conference Room. 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES A motion was made by Commissioner Priebe and seconded by Commissioner Willegalle to approve the minutes of the July meeting as presented. The motion carried with all ayes. 3. VISITOR PRESENTATIONS a. Athletic Associations. None were present. b. Staff. No recreation staff were present, but Director Blank discussed how our fall youth soccer program continues to grow, with 200 more children participating in 1995 than in 1994. There was an increase in 1994 of about 200 as well. With our current facilities and the difficulty in securing coaches, staff feels that soccer enrollment may have to be limited next year. Director Blank announced two special events in September sponsored by the City; an Art Fair on Saturday, September 16, at Parkers Lake Park, and a History Fest on Saturday, September 23, at Plymouth Creek Park. c. Others. None. 4. PAST COUNCIL ACTION a. Council approved the acquisition of the Ess property, which adjoins the land the City currently owns that has been designated as environmental park. This acquisition will now permit the City, if they so choose, to build some girls softball fields. The City is currently lacking in fields of the appropriate size for girls high school softball. Also, by having this PRAC Minutes/September 1995 Page 30 additional land, the environmental park could be expanded to include such things as an environmental education center. b. Council approved the purchase of the Mission open space property. c. Council approved the purchase of the Hartenburg open space property. 5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS a. Private swimming pool update. Director Blank stated that he met with the Wayzata School District and a private swimming club regarding the possibility of building a swimming pool in a joint three way project between the City, the school district and the private club. The School District has indicated that they have $1.5 million to contribute to such a project. b. West Medicine Lake Park update. Progress on this project has been fairly slow due to some permits being tied up in the environmental process. However, Director Blank is expecting Council authorization on September 19 to go out for bid on Phase 1, which is the road and bridge portion. A contract for this work could then be awarded in mid-October, with the actual work possibly beginning in November. c. Open spaces update. Director Blank indicated that the acquisition process on three of the four sites has been fairly smooth and that there is adequate funding available for the final site. The last site, however, may be somewhat complicated by the fact that a realtor has gotten involved and is trying to sell the land to a developer. Director Blank said that if that happens, the City will simply deal with the developer if necessary. d. Playfield high school update. Director Blank stated that the contractor is busy working on the construction of the three buildings that will comprise the high school. Dirt is being stockpiled on the site to be used in conjunction with the construction of the bridge. The NURP pond is in as well as wetland mitigation. Sewer and water lines are in. Some grading of fields could take place later this fall. e. Study of youth sports facilities update. Director Blank and Rick Busch are planning to reconvene this committee within a couple of weeks. Members of PRAC that are on this committee are Don Anderson, Mark Wahl and Henry Willegalle. PRAC Minutes/September 1995 Page 31 f. 1996-2000 CIP update. Director Blank discussed the request for tennis courts in Turtle Lake Park. He explained that tennis courts planned in Plymouth Creek Park have been in the CIP for the past five years but keep getting bumped for other more pressing items. These are the courts that would be for use by the residents requesting courts in Turtle Lake Park. So far, the policy of the City has been to build tennis courts at our playfields and not in neighborhood parks. Director Blank feels that this policy may change in the future, but at the present time, there is still need for a few more neighborhood parks to be developed. Director Blank explained that when Shiloh Park was upgraded a few years ago, the Park Commission recommended that tennis courts be included in the upgrade, because many of the residents requested it, but the City Council took it out of the final master plan before approving the plan. g. Recommend Mighty Ducks ice arena lzrant. Director Blank indicated that staff is preparing a Mighty Ducks ice arena grant application and explained to PRAC why there is a need for indoor ice in Plymouth. He explained that conditions of the grant state that there must be joint cooperation with other agencies if a grant is to be considered for award. Several agencies have made a commitment to the City of Plymouth that they would cooperate in such a project, including School Districts 281 and 284. Others, such as the City of Wayzata, Plymouth -Wayzata Youth Hockey and the Wayzata Lions Club have indicated an interest in contributing financially to such a project. Contributions may total about 675,000. The amount of the grant would be $250,000. The entire project is estimated at approximately $4,000,000. This would be for two sheets of ice, which, in the long run, according to Director Blank, is more profitable. Single sheets of ice tend to lose money. When asked how the City would fund the balance of this project, Director Blank explained that it would probably be through a bond referendum. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER BILDSOE AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER WAHL TO RECOMMEND THAT THE CITY COUNCIL SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR A MIGHTY DUCKS ICE ARENA GRANT. THE MOTION CARRIED WITH ALL AYES. 6. NEW BUSINESS a. Name for ninth playfield. Director Blank explained that playfield number 9 needs an official name, and that staff's recommendation is Elm Creek Playfield. He stated that if PRAC preferred a different name, staff would PRAC Minutes/September 1995 Page 32 come up with a few more possibilities and bring them back to the next meeting for further consideration. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER ANDERSON AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER BILDSOE TO ACCEPT THE NAME ELM CREEK PLAYFIELD AS THE OFFICIAL NAME FOR THE NINTH PLAYFIELD. THE MOTION CARRIED WITH ALL AYES. b. Review citizen survey results. Director Blank went over the results of the latest citizen survey. Unlike the survey conducted a few years ago, this one was a city-wide survey, rather than just park -related. Park issues rated quite well, with 92% of those surveyed liking our park facilities and 94% approving of the job that park maintenance does. Sixty-eight percent want a community center study done. Ninety-four percent want the City to save one of the three golf courses in Plymouth from being developed. Director Blank indicated that Hampton Hills and Elm Creek could both become 9 -hole executive courses, with Hollydale remaining as the only 18 -hole course in Plymouth. The owners of Hollydale have indicated they want to stay in the golf business, although Lundgren Bros. has offered to buy their land. Director Blank said that if the City decided it wanted to acquire a golf course, the current owners would need to be persuaded to sell to the City rather than to a developer. Even though the property at all three courses is guided public/semi-public, a developer would likely win a case for having it re -guided residential. The Park Commission indicated their interest in pursuing this issue and keeping it on the PRAC agenda for future meetings. 7. COMMISSION PRESENTATION None. 8. STAFF COMMUNICATION None. 9. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 7:50 p.m. i Agenda Number: (: TO: Dwight Johnson, City Manager FROM: Eric Blank, Director of Parks and Recreation SUBJECT: September 12 Letter from Wayzata School Board Regarding Swimming Facilities DATE: September 25, 1995, for Council Meeting of October 3 1. ACTION REQUESTED: Council should move a motion directing staff, the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission and the Youth Sports Study Committee to review the issue of a joint swimming facility with School District 284. 2. BACKGROUND: The recent District 284 bond referendum included funding for the development of a 25 meter competitive swimming pool. The School District initiated a citizens' review group to discuss the issues involved in developing a new swimming facility. It was the recommendation of this citizens' sub -committee that the School District communicate with the Plymouth City Council their desire to discuss a collaborative effort for a swimming facility. 3. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Mayor send a letter acknowleding the receipt of the District 284 letter and that the City Council authorize staff, the Youth Sports Study Committee and the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission to review this matter promptly and return with a recommendation to the City Council. EB/np Attachment RESOLUTION NO. 95 - AUTHORIZING STUDY OF A JOINTLY OPERATED SWEM IING FACILITY WHEREAS, District 284 has written a letter to the City of Plymouth requesting a study of the collaboration on a future swimming facility, and WHEREAS, the Classic Lake Aquatic group has approached the City of Plymouth with regard to a collaborative swimming endeavor, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA, that the Director of Parks and Recreation, the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission and the Youth Sports Study Committee, are authorized to review this subject and report back to the Council at their earliest convenience. And, further, the Mayor is authorized to send a letter communicating the Council's desire to further study this issue. Adopted by the City Council on September 12, 1995 Mayor and City Council CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 Plymouth Boulevard Plymouth, MN 55447 Dear Mayor and Councilmembers: Paul R. Beilfuss Superintendent of Schools 612) 476-3101 In Fall 1994, District 284, Wayzata Public Schools, initiated a swimming facility research and study committee to explore the most efficient and effective use of categorical funds to be allocated from the successful June 1994 bond election. The study committee is composed of District 284 citizens, administrators, and Mr. Eric Blank, Director of Parks and Recreation, representing the City of Plymouth. After several meetings, the Committee recommended to the School Board its interest in pursuing a collaborative effort to fund a swimming facility that would satisfy school district needs and community interests. During its regular meeting on September 11, 1995, the School Board directed its Chair and Superintendent to send you a letter indicating the Board's interest in exploring a collaborative effort to potentially fund, construct, and operate a public swimming facility which would respond to our constituents' needs. It is our understanding that the Plymouth City staff will analyze and respond to this request as soon as feasible. We have enjoyed the spirit of cooperation you have offered us as we pursue the joint venture of the construction of a new high school and City of Plymouth Playfield Number 9. We look forward to continuing the positive collaboration on behalf of all community members. Yours truly, Debra L.

This notice does not constitute final approval of your project. Any work completed, money spent, or obligations incurred for acquisition or development of your project prior to final approval are ineligible and cannot be paid for with grant funds or used as the local share. The Outdoor Recreation Grant Program staff are looking forward to working with you on this project. If you have any questions, call Wayne Sames at 612) 296-1567. Congratulations.

ACTION REQUESTED: At the September 5 meeting, the Council tabled their motion on this item. See attached minutes. The Council should move the attached resolution as a substitute motion. 2. BACKGROUND: At the September 5 Council meeting, the Council tabled action on this matter to receive further information from the city attorney's office. The attached memo from the city attorney, dated September 12, discusses the issue of extending the deed restrictions on the acquisition of property. The staff concurs with the city attorney's memo, and further, notes the following points: The step we are undertaking is to pay the fair market value to buy this property and transfer all rights of ownership from the Olson's to the City of Plymouth. This is the same 15 year agreement that we developed with the Hartenburg's for their acquisition. We don't believe it will be in the City's best interest to find ourselves 20 years from now having to ask Mrs. Olson's grandchildren's permission whether or not the City is allowed to put in a wood chip trail, birdhouses or some other minor improvement to this land. The issue of perpetual protection of the property already has been discussed and reviewed by the Open Space committee, which is charged with the responsibility of developing this program. The committee is ready to reconvene once the acquisition of all the properties has been completed. I anticipate that we will re -hire our professional consultant to do further analysis of the eco -system of the four sites and make recommendations on the specific long term protection and management of the land. In the initial consultant report, there were a number of recommendations for such things as fencing off deer areas, removal of certain species that over dominate for ground cover, and other things to protect the property. The Council should allow the Open Space committee the opportunity to finish their work and report back to the Council on the long term care and management and preservation of the open space property as is the current plan of action. Mrs. Baer and other residents are welcome to attend the Open Space committee meetings and make their feelings known with regard to the proper uses and protection of the land.

N;—n M.irgueritc M. MCCarron G rorcc T. Su ph, n,on At the last City Council meeting I was asked to advise the .Council on the legality and advantage of extending the duration of the proposed deeded restrictions on the use of the above property. Section 9.11 of the proposed purchase agreement states in part: Seller shall have the right to include in the Warranty Deed conveying fee title of the Subject Property to Buyer a provision that, subject to the exemption stated below, prohibits Buyer from using any portion of the Subject Property for any purpose other than a public park, and associated necessary uses, for a period of fifteen (15) years from the Closing Date. The exception to this fifteen (15) year use restriction is that Buyer may use the easterly four hundred (400) feet of the northerly four hundred (400) feet of the Subject Property for the realiganiOnt and construction of Peony Lane and related utilities, trailways, and holding ponds, and, in addition, Buyer may use the easterly six hundred (600) feet of the Subject Property for creation of a surface water ponding/wetland area. In the event Seller reasonably believes that Buyer has breached this restriction on use, Seller may enforce this provision in a proceeding in Hennepin County District Court. The use restriction as negotiated with Ms. Olson would terminate in fifteen (15) years. The longest period allowed by law for a use restriction is thirty (30) years: a]ll private covenants, conditions, or restrictions created by which the title or use of real property is affected, cease to be valid and operative 30 years after the date of the deed, or other instrument, or the date of the probate of the will, creating them, and may be disregarded. Minn. Stat. § 500.20, Subd. 2a. Suite 317 • Eagandale Office Center • 1380 Corporate Center Curve • Eagan, MN 55121 Plymouth Mayor and City Council September 12, 1995 Page 2 It is possible to get around the thirty (30) year limitation by selling or deeding the development rights. You may have read recent newspaper articles in which development rights are given to a land trust. Stripping off development rights can be accomplished by an owner donating a conservation easement to a qualified non-profit organization. The conservation easement provides that the land can only be used for open space. A landowner, when donating a conservation easement to a qualified recipient organization, is entitled to a substantial tax break. 26 U.S.C. § 170. The problem with stripping off and donating development rights or in agreeing to a use restriction is that the City loses control. Should Ms. Olson or her heirs control the use of the property or should an elected City Council exercise the control? By way of example, a city we represent acquired land for use as a park approximately 10 years ago. The money for the acquisition was obtained from a referendum. This past summer the city decided that it needed to construct a water tower in the park. Residents who did not want to look at a water tower brought suit claiming that a water tower could not be placed on land acquired with the proceeds of a park bond referendum. The city prevailed because the court held that the source of the funding for the land acquisition did not restrict the use of the land. The water tower also did not adversely affect the use of the park and the city reimbursed the bond fund for the fair market value of the land under the tower. A deeded restriction limiting the use of the property to a park probably would have prevented placing the tower on the property. The fifteen (15) year restriction on use in the purchase agreement is the result of prolonged negotiations with Ms. Olson and her attorney. Since we are paying fair market value for the property, I recommend that we not further restrict the City's ability to decide how the property can be used in the future. With or without a use restriction in the deed, the City can limit the use of the land to park purposes forever.

DA - 25 years vs. 30 years? Since this was the #1 site. City Attorney - if, in 15 years someone decides they want to put a water tower in the parking lot, for example, the City could not do that. CL - clarified - area that is already tilled is not included in this discussion. FM - City won't put any use to entire parcel, except easterly 400 ft. area where house is situated is separate parcel of land. The 400 ft. is there because it goes to the center of the road, and we couldn't do anything with the road. NG - I will not support a motion to amend the the timing.

ACTION REQUESTED: Council should move a resolution approving the attached two purchase agreements in the total aggregate amount of $615,000 for the acquisition of the Olson property located at 5315 Peony Lane. 2. BACKGROUND: Since the successful passage of the bond referendum on May 23, the City Attorney's office and I have been working to bring to closure the purchase of the four open space sites. Previously, the Council approved the purchase of the Hardenburg parcel in southwest Plymouth at a cost of $843,350. The second piece of property to be acquired is the Doris Olson property at 5315 Peony Lane located`- in northwest Plymouth immediately adjacent to the new high school site. Listed below are the key points of this acquisition. A. Size of this parcel is approximately 29 acres. B. There are two purchase agreements with Doris Olson, one is for the 26 acres. of wooded property and one is for three acres and the home. C. Total purchase price is $615,000; $470,000 is for the acquisition of the 26 acres of woods; $145,000 is for the acquisition of three acres of land and the home. The open space bond money will pay for the acquisition of the 26 acres of woods. The Peony Lane improvement project will pay for the acquisition of the three acres immediately adjacent to Peony Lane along with the home. This property is necessary for the new alignment of Peony Lane and for wetland mitigation necessary because of possible widening of Peony Lane. D. Doris Olson will be allowed to live in the home until September 30, 1996. She may, however, choose to close and move out of the property at anytime during this next year. E. Memorial. Mrs. Olson or her daughter shall have the option at their own expense to obtain and place a memorial on the property at a location and in a manner agreed to by the seller and the City. F. Mrs. Olson will have the right to remove the French lilac bushes adjacent to the home site. G. If the home is to be razed, the Olson's retain the right to remove a keepsake from the home prior to its demolition. H. The acquisition cost is within the funding range as determined by the overall bond proceeds. 3. RECOMMENDATION: I recommend the City Council approve the purchase agreements as drafted by the City Attorney's office.

EB/np DRAFT, 9/25/95 YOUTH SPORTS STUDY COMMITTEE REPORT Major Issues During the review and discussion with 14 different athletic associations, a number of issues were covered. Listed below is a condensed version of some of the larger, more global issues reviewed by the committee. 1. The most consistent issue is the projected growth of all youth activities as the City of Plymouth continues to grow. The common trend is that all of the existing indoor and outdoor facilities are generally, with few exceptions, maximized for use at this time. The detailed study of future growth trends and their effect on the need for additional facilities is a major issue that needs to be under constant review each year. Response Positive planning approaches the City can take on this issue are outlined below: a. The construction of the Elm Creek Playfield at the new Wayzata high school with the addition of softball, baseball, soccer, football, hockey, basketball and volleyball facilities will help in all areas. b. The School District and/or the City should redevelop the outdoor facilities at the old Wayzata high school. This site has the potential for adding additional baseball facilities, softball facilities, and soccer facilities. If a new stadium is built at the new high school, the usage of the old stadium needs to be re- examined. c. The development and usage of Greenwood Elementary School needs to be thoroughly reviewed. There is one home immediately northwesterly of the school that should be acquired by the school district. Additional parking and additional facilities for baseball/softball and soccer could be added at this location. d. The acquisition and development of the Ess property at 494 and Schmidt Lake Road could,add valuable resources to the community. As of the writing of this report, the Council has authorized the acquisition of the property. The estimated cost for developing four small softball/baseball fields is $800,000. e. The long-term planning for the acquisition and development of the tenth playfield should stay on track. The primary focus of the tenth playfield will be to pick up the slack in all of youth sports; mainly baseball, softball and soccer. The City should acquire enough acreage to protect itself from unforeseen needs in the long-term perspective. 2. The issue of indoor ice time for ice skating and hockey appears to be reaching an extremely critical point at this time. Not only is the participation in ice skating going up, as in all other sports, but here we are faced with the unique problem of available ice rental hours actually decreasing. So we are faced with the major issue of increased demand and an actual decrease in facility time. Response The best solution would appear to be to develop two indoor ice facilities within the City of Plymouth. One arena would be a year-round facility with seating for approximately 800 people. The second sheet would be a practice rink open approximately five months a year. This would allow the ice hockey and figure skating participants in Plymouth to spend less time and effort traveling to far away arenas for their practices and home games. As noted in previous reports, the City of Plymouth is the largest city in the state without an indoor, community -owned ice facility. By building two ice arenas at one location, and charging a fair market value for ice time, the facilities should pay 100% of their operating expenses on an annual basis. 3. This issue involves the demand for indoor gym space for activities such as youth basketball, youth soccer, adult volleyball, adult basketball, etc. In recent months, the issue of the allocation of gym time between youth activities and adult sports has come to the boiling point. While clearly the development of the new Wayzata high school will be of benefit, the current demand and projected demand for indoor gym space is beyond our availability at this time. Response The shortage of gym space throughout the community continues to grow with the expansion of youth basketball and adult activities. The development of potentially three new gym facilities in the community should be reviewed and studied. It would appear that by adding gyms to at least two different school facilities we might get the most bang for our dollars throughout the community. The addition of a gym at Armstrong High School and at a Wayzata school facility within the next one to three years would appear to be most appropriate. These gyms could thus be used during the school day by the school district and in the evening and on weekends by the public. A third gym facility, not associated with a school, would provide gym space for activities that normally would take place during the school year or school day. This facility could be used by senior citizens, mother and tots, second and third shift employees who are available only during the day for recreational activities. I 4. There is an identifiable need for girls' fast pitch softball fields throughout the community, and on the east side, the issue revolves around Plymouth residents playing in Golden Valley, without any home facilities available. Response There are a number of options in this area to be reviewed. When the adult softball program moves from Zachary Park to Elm Creek Playfield, space should be made available at Zachary Park for our fast pitch girls currently playing in the Golden Valley Fast Pitch Softball program. It's possible that at the Elm Creek Playfield, one of the adult softball fields could be downsized, either with permanent or temporary fencing, for the Varsity needs. The City should also look at acquiring property in the southwest corner of the Elm Creek Playfield from Elm Creek Golf Course for the development of future fast pitch facilities at this location. The development of the Ess property and the tenth playfield should also be done in a design to accommodate the needs for girls' fast pitch softball. 5. It would appear that from our review, the development of small fields for children ages 5-11 and girls' fast pitch will be our greatest growth demand area. If a new program of Little League baseball was to start up in the community, this would make the problem even more difficult. Response The large numbers of small children requiring small fields continues throughout the community. Our best opportunity for answering this problem is with the redevelopment of the existing Wayzata high school, redevelopment of Greenwood Elementary, development of the Ess property and acquisition and development of the tenth playfield. 6. The availability of competitive swimming time is at a shortage throughout the entire western Hennepin County area. The issue is, can any one individual community bear the burden of developing and operating a competitive swimming facility? Response It would appear that no one agency is in a position to develop and operate a competitive swimming facility. A joint venture, however, with the Wayzata School District and/or the Robbinsdale School District and/or private swim clubs would make this facility •a more reasonable undertaking. Currently, all of the pools within Plymouth are located near our community perimeter at Wayzata West Junior High and at Wayzata East Junior High, on the southern border, and at Plymouth Middle School on the eastern border. A swimming facility located north of Highway 55 and west of 494 would serve a broader spectrum of our population. The city's needs tend to be recreational in nature, while the School District's needs functionally are competitive in nature. One major facility with two bodies of water would appear to more adequately address the long-term issues of development and operating expenses than two separate facilities. 7. The growth of indoor youth soccer provides many challenges for the community. Currently, soccer is by far the largest youth participation sport within the city of Plymouth. There are three prominent seasons: summer, running from April through August; the fall season, running during September and October; and the indoor season, running from November through March. The indoor season is in direct conflict with the basketball and volleyball season competing for gym time. Response The development of a field house at the new Wayzata High School/Elm Creek Playfield site would appear to be the best solution for indoor soccer. By having a facility dedicated to the indoor soccer program, this will help alleviate the strain on indoor gym space by that program. A field house with the proper configuration would have the ability to be used by community residents and school district teams for the following sports and activities: football, touch football, soccer, baseball, softball, track, archery, tennis, golf, volleyball, basketball, wrestling. It could also be used for non -athletic events such as flea markets, educational programs, etc. 8. Fee schedule charged by the City of Plymouth for tournaments. Currently, the City policy is to charge youth athletic associations a fee for special use of parks when they need exclusive use for invitational tournaments. The Wayzata Youth Soccer Club has requested the waiving of said fees. Response Since 1980, when the Mayor and Council adopted a citizens' task force report on the use of facilities, the City has maintained a facility usage fee. The purpose of the fee is to ensure that our sports facilities are maintained primarily for the use and enjoyment of Plymouth residents. The citizens' task force felt that on those occasions when major groups from outside the City come in to use these facilities, it is appropriate to charge a user fee. The trend throughout the metropolitan area is to develop more user fees for athletic facilities. Currently, both the cities of Champlin and Edina charge a fee to all participants on a year round basis using their city facilities. Fees for special athletic events are on the rise also throughout the metropolitan area. We recommend the fees should be reviewed on an annual basis for their amount, but that the fees should remain in effect. 9. A number of the youth sports' associations expressed their concern over the lack of maintenance of school district facilities. They are also concerned with the charges the School Districts make for any necessary maintenance provided by the School Districts. In recent years, budgetary constraints, especially in the Wayzata District, have made it extremely difficult for the School District to provide a high level of maintenance to the facilities during the summer months. Response Youth athletic associations, school districts and cities should cooperatively meet and develop an operational plan to ensure the highest quality of maintenance available on all facilities. School districts need to pay more attention to the long-term operation of facilities when a new facility is brought on line. They need to make sure that the operating dollars are available to maintain such facilities. staf \eric\trisc\ythsport.doc COST ESTIMATE Facility Cost Est. city School Dist.

The % Plymouth column is the percentage of the participants which live in Plymouth, and the Plymouth Teams column is what this translates into all -Plymouth teams. The Teams per Field denotes the Plymouth portion on Plymouth fields. N.H.P.A.A. Baseball In 1994, N.H.P.A.A. Baseball started playing some Saturday games at Zachary Playfield, fields 1-4, on a limited basis. This past season, they expanded that considerably by playing a full slate of Saturday games from mid-May to mid-July. This greatly alleviated the pressure for Monday through Thursday evening game and practice space. City of Plymouth did lose some revenue by not having the complex available for rental to softball tournament groups. Two years ago, N.H.P.A.A. experimented into playing two games per night on unlighted fields in their 9-12 age groups. After one season, they dropped it, saying there wasn't enough daylight to get two games in, even though Plymouth/Wayzata Baseball, Crystal Little League, Maple Grove Baseball, and many other local youth baseball programs have scheduled that way for years. The perceived needs of this association are probably much greater than the actual needs. The opening of Zachary Playfield fields 1-4 on weeknights for youth baseball and softball in two years should go a long way toward satisfying baseball needs in East Plymouth. N.H.P.A.A. Football Poor management in the early 90's limited this program. Aggressive new leadership and a strong partnership with the City of Robbinsdale should guide this program to continued growth for the foreseeable future. They've gotten by using one game field at Plymouth Middle School, but will probably need an additional one in the next couple of years. Increase in Saturday scheduling will help ease pressure for additional facilities..... N.H.P.A.A. Fall Soccer This is one soccer program that appears to have leveled off. That's good because we don't have much more available space in East Plymouth to lay out fall soccer fields. Some of these kids will gravitate to the newly emerging fall travel teams, but overall, fall soccer numbers in East Plymouth should remain similar to this year for the next few years. N.H.P.A.A. Wings Soccer The installation of Under 6 and Under 8 leagues in 1993 added significantly to this association. It also necessitated more small fields and goals that we've had trouble fitting in on available summer park and school land in East Plymouth. When more baseball and youth softball space becomes available in two years at Zachary Playfield, we may need to use some traditional summer baseball space nt Pilgrim Tana PlamanMry 7onb.,, Tonu Dlnmunr Dl,. nr6 Middle School for soccer. Until then, summer space on District 281 facilities in New Hope needs to be explored. N.H.P.A.A. Hockev This association has separate Cooper and Armstrong youth programs. Most of the Armstrong players are Plymouth residents. Last year, that portion made up about 15 teams in East Plymouth. The New Hope ice arena has been the main provider of ice for N.H.P.A.A. hockey for over 20 years. It cannot support the needs of the youth association and Cooper and Armstrong High School programs. Youth teams travel to Parade, Blake, Breck, Columbia, Augsburg, and Osseo arenas in an effort to fill ice needs. They also use about 20 hours per week of outdoor ice in Plymouth. They are losing time at most of these arenas because the arenas are all experiencing growth and have to accommodate their primary tenants. Growth in the boys program and the introduction of a girls program makes new local ice time mandatory for continuation of N.H.P.A.A. hockey as it now exists. Even if plans go through for an additional rink at New Hope Arena, N. H. P. A. A. would still need as much ice time as possible in a new City of Plymouth rink. N.H.P.A.A. Basketball While the total enrollment in N.H.P.A.A. has remained steady, the demand for large gyms junior and senior high) has increased due to an increase in the number of travel teams. Plymouth has made available twice as much large gym space for the coming season at the expense of canceling some adult leagues. We also turn over all available gym hours at Pilgrim Lane and Zachary Lane Elementary gyms. Overall, we will allocate 938 hours for N.H.P.A.A. use, up from 823 last year (a 14% increase). We still contribute only 31% of the total N.H.P.A.A. hours, largely because we only have seven District 281 basketball courts in Plymouth, compared to 13 in New Hope. As soon as other gyms become available at the new Wayzata High School or elsewhere in Plymouth, we will further cut back adult programs at Armstrong High School and Plymouth Middle School in favor of youth programs. 5 -Year Team Totals for Boys & Girls Grades 3 - 9: 1990/91 39 1991/92 49 1992/93 56 1993/94 59 1994/95 55 (62% Plymouth residents translates to 34 all -Plymouth teams) 1994-95 N.H.P.A.A.

We secured Monday nights at Armstrong for the first time and moved our adult Wednesday basketball leagues back to January to open space for NHPAA during early season crunch time. Plymouth/Wayzata Baseball Association This group has traditionally operated at maximum efficiency when it comes to field usage. They play double-headers on unlighted fields, where they keep the games moving by using pitching machines. Their fields are usually scheduled six days per week. At 118 teams, they are our largest association. Their ratio of six teams per field is also one of our highest. The pitching machines need electrical wiring to the pitching mounds. They are currently maxed out in availability of those kinds of fields. They are concerned about other associations in Plymouth expanding into space they normally use. Construction of batting cages this fall will help with field shortages, but they will probably need one to two more 60-75 foot base length fields next summer. Possible expansion could occur at Greenwood Elementary or Plymouth Creek Playfield (field #2). Large (90 foot base length) field expansion may be able to wait until the new Wayzata High School fields are built. Plymouth/Wayzata Softball Association After years of taking a back seat to baseball in terms of facility usage, Plymouth/Wayzata Softball seems to have caught up. They use some of our better fields and seem to have room for expansion under current allocation. They still have electrical needs both for on -field and batting cage pitching machines. They are concerned about lack of varsity/tournament type fields, either for the new Wayzata High School or other sites. They are looking for permanent outfield fencing at 200 feet. A possible site for a batting cage is the Oakwood Hockey rink. Plymouth/Wayzata Football Association For years, this program has operated using two primary facilities: Oakwood Playfield (B) and Wayzata West Jr. High (3 fields). By next fall, they will probably need an additional field either to reduce the wear on Oakwood B, to replace it for a year, or as a second field there. Possible expansion could occur in the outfield of Oakwood #2 & #6 or at Plymouth Creek Playfield. This group actually plays less than their fair share of games in Plymouth. They have over 70% Plymouth residents, but play less than half their games and practices in Plymouth. They are now interested in moving more north in the school district. Wayzata Soccer Club The main concerns of this club seem to be with the mammoth Invitational Tournament they hold each July (over 200 teams). This tournament uses every possible city soccer field plus many outside Plymouth. They feel our current rental rates are unreasonable. As for the rest of the program, they are in good shape. They've always used our best fields. Improvements in travel league scheduling should help maximize their current allocation of facilities. We still end up with an inordinately large number of home games on certain nights which creates a perception of field shortage. The fact that the P.A.A. summer soccer is expanding to include travel teams may cut into the Wayzata Soccer Club's numbers and cause them to give up some fields which they have traditionally used. Plymouth/Wayzata Youth Hockey In 1995, this club had almost 800 kids spread over 43 teams. Of these participants, 90 % were boys, but the number of girls is expected to skyrocket. Wayzata High School Arena is their main faicility, but it doesn't begin to meet the total needs of the program. Most weeknights, they can't get on the ice until the High School teams finish at 7:00 p.m. Teams are forced to practice until 11:00 p.m. on school nights, plus drive considerable distances to other arenas Blake, Breck, Delano, etc.) to get enough practice and game- time. Additionally, this association uses about 35 hours per week of outdoor ice time on City of Plymouth rinks. The existing shortage of ice time added to the boom in the girl's program, along with continued growth in the boy's program, leaves this association in dire need of a new local arena as soon as possible.

Totals Teams Court Hours/Week Hrs/Team/Week Youth Basketball 79 208 2.63 Adult Volleyball/Basketball 24 11 0.46 In the Wayzata District the youth athletic associations have higher priority than Park & Recreation in getting gym permits. The adults are virtually shut out of space. The Basketball Associations are growing and are getting more involved in travel team programs. A major concern is that six of the seven elementary gyms have carpeted floors, not nearly as conducive to basketball as wood or even tile. Another concern is that growth of indoor soccer is cutting into available gym time. When the new Wayzata High School opens, it should open more time at the old Wayzata High School for youth basketball. The threat from indoor soccer could be solved with a field house at Wayzata High School or a private indoor soccer facility anywhere in the western suburbs. Plymouth Athletic Association Soccer This is the only athletic association we have that uses City boundaries as their drawing area. They are also our fastest growing association. In 1995 they were up to 112 teams (a 25% increase from 1994), trailing only Plymouth/Wayzata Baseball in size. The vast majority of their program is in the younger age groups, Under 6, Under 8, and Under 10. These require smaller fields and goals. We've been struggling to keep up with the number of goals needed. Last summer, P.A.A. joined the Minnesota Youth Soccer Association and had their first travel team after previously fielding only a house league program. We expect the travel end of this program to grow and require more coordination of field usage with the Wayzata Soccer Club. P.A.A. Soccer has traditionally used many of the District 284 fields where they are required to pay for painting of lines. This is not required of the Wayzata Soccer Club on our Plymouth playfields. We need to even up this situation. This group operates almost exclusively Monday through Thursday evenings. Expansion to Fridays and weekends could accommodate some future growth. Classic Lake Aquatics The New Hope/Crystal/Plymouth Swim club has been in operation for a number of years. They have over 150 participants ages 6 - 22 (60 % girls and 40 % boys). Two years ago, a new organization, Classic Lake Aquatics, representing 50,000 swimmers, was founded to coordinate the drive for a new swimming center in the northwest suburban area. They would like to build an indoor facility which would include: a 50 meter x 25 yard competitive pool, a standard 25 yard lesson and therapy pool, and an additional 25 yard zero depth recreational pool with water slide. Classic Lake Aquatics feels that "Downtown" Plymouth would be an ideal location. They think this swim center would meet the demand from simmers of all ages for competitive, instructional, exercise, and leisure swimming. Plymouth Park & Recreation Fall Soccer Like most soccer in Plymouth, this program is booming. It has almost doubled in the last five years, from 50 teams in 1991 to 91 in 1995. Big numbers in the youngest age groups necessitate many small -sized fields with small goals. In 1995, the Under 6 leagues moved out of the hockey rinks onto many previously unused spaces: baseball and softball outfields and District 284 elementary schools. Heavy use of Saturdays for games has helped us accommodate their rapid growth. New fall travel leagues may cause this house league program to level off a bit. Plymouth Park & Recreation Basketball Our adult basketball programs are comprised of: 3 -on -3 half court leagues Separate fall, winter, and spring leagues at Plymouth Middle School on Wednesday nights draw about 90 teams per year. 5 -on -5 unofficiated leagues Fall and summer leagues play Mondays at Plymouth Middle School. Winter league plays at Wayzata East Jr. High south court and Wayzata High School auxiliary court. They total about 35 teams per year. 5 -on -5 officiated leagues Winter league plays Wednesday evenings at Armstrong High School: We annually run at our capacity of 18 teams. That's over 140 teams per year. Each league plays for 10 weeks. The total number of court hours to run these programs is 510 hours or 3.6 hours per team, compared to 27 per team for N.H.P.A.A. Basketball and Plymouth/Wayzata Basketball. We do this by always having two teams per court for 5 -on -5 leagues and four teams per court for 3 -on -3 leagues, and having each team play one hour per week. We fill our available gym space and would accommodate more teams if we had more room. Of our 1000+ participants, 77% live or work full time in Plymouth and many of the others live in the Robbinsdale and Wayzata school districts. In recent years, we've had to give up adult space to youth basketball. This trend will continue. Building additional gyms at the new Wayzata High School or at Armstrong High School where we have more City control over scheduling is vital to maintaining our adult basketball programs. Plymouth Park & Recreation Volleyball All of our adult volleyball leagues are Co-Rec (men and women play together). Last year, we had 100 teams playing in 15 leagues. Here is a breakdown: Summer Sand Volleyball at West Medicine Lake Beach; 16 teams play Monday and Wednesday evenings Fall & Winter Unofficiated Volleyball; 24 teams Tuesday at Plymouth Middle School; 26 teams Wednesday at Wayzata East Jr. High; 21 teams Friday at Plymouth Middle School Fall & Winter Power Volleyball; 13 teams at Wayzata East Jr. High and Plymouth Middle School on Mondays Of these volleyball participants, 84 % live or work full time in Plymouth! With the addition of two sand courts at Parkers Lake, we are set for outdoor facilities. Indoor, however, is another story. In recent years, we've had to shorten match times (1:15 to 1:05), play later in the evening (7-11:00 instead of 6-10:00), and give up space we'd used for years (Tuesday and Thursday at Plymouth School and winter Mondays at Wayzata East Jr. High). All teams play one match per week for ten weeks. As with our adult basketball program, we need construction of new facilities to ensure our adults will have a place to play in future years. Plymouth Parks & Recreation Adult Softball Our summer adult softball program has dropped from a high of 210 teams in 1989 to 167 in 1995. Part of the drop can be attributed to tightening of eligibility requirements and a lessening of field availability. The other part comes from a drop in interest and a shortage of new young teams to replace those that leave the program. No other sports program in the city can compare with adult softball when it comes to efficient usage of facilities. Games start at 6:00 p.m. and run on the hour until 10:00 p.m. At Zachary, our main complex, we have four fields that can accommodate 32 teams per night, Monday through Friday. We also play some games at Plymouth Creek Playfield #2. All teams play one night per week for one hour. In the fall, when we have a smaller program (71 teams in 1995), we play double headers. Each team plays two back-to-back games one night per week for four weeks. When the new complex at the Wayzata High School playfield is completed in 1997, most of the adult softball will be played there. The two major complaints we get about Zachary Playfield are: 1. Inadequate field lighting (color and number of lights limits visibility). 2. No building in the middle of the four fields for bathrooms, concessions, and storekeeping. Plymouth Park & Recreation K -Ball, T -Ball, Baseball, Softball Program We've double since 1991, going from 41 to 82 teams. Only twelve of these teams play on week nights and Sunday evenings. The rest play Monday through Friday 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.. The inclusion of a 5 -year-old "K -Ball" program in 1992 significantly contributed to our growth. While we still have many fields available for daytime expansion, the options for evening sites are quite limited. We receive countless requests from residents for more 5-8 year old evening ball programs but we are unable to accommodate them due to lack of fields for evening use. We do expect to continue to increase our daytime enrollment by approximately 10% per year. Some evening space should be available in two years when Zachary Playfield softball fields are opened to youth play. 10 YEAR ENROLLMENT IN PLYMOUTH ADULT TEAM SPORTS 1986-95 UNOFFICIATED 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 Fall 3 -Man BKB 36 36 36 40 28 28 32 33 32 24 Winter 3 -Mart BKB 34 36 41 43 48 36 32 32 32 30 Spring 3 -Man BKB 30 36 32 26 32 24 20 30 24 32 Summer 5 -Man BKB 0 0 0 0 0 4 5 6 8 10 Winter 5 -Man BKB 0 0 0 0 0 6 8 8 11 10 Fall 5 -Man BKB 0 0 0 0 16 16 16 16 17 16 Fall Volleyball 38 50 48 44 50 44 42 39 34 31 Winter Volleyball 32 36 40 46 42 46 42 38 36 38 Beach Volleyball 6 6 6 12 22 24 24 22 21 16 4 -Man Football 32 32 32 32 32 28 23 16 11 16 Co-Rec Broomball 12 10 22 14 15 14 8 9 8 15 Softball Warmup 32 26 28 22 24 25 16 16 16 4 -Man Hockey 14 12 14 12 13 16 15 12 12 14 Total Unofficiated 266 280 299 291 322 311 283 261 262 269 OFFICIATED Winter 5 -Man BKB 18 18 22 22 20 21 18 18 18 18 Fall Power Volleyball 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 6 6 5 Winter Power Volleyball 12 12 12 12 12 9 9 11 9 8 Summer Softball 153 186 198 210 185 193 195 191 185 167 Fall Softball 48 38 49 56 64 64 79 80 73 71 Total Officiated 231 254 281 300 281 287 307 306 291 269 TOTAL TEAMS 497 534 580 591 603 598 590 567 553 539 PlymouthMaiata Baseball Assn. 180 160 140 y ;vllfli l' 611 a, "}`, "atxl Lill all J d PCF• 111 I k + ': I{I i] rl r'j,{.{illi ri ,(CJ I I r, it IJ I Y 'r4, i' it i,.:i] e r{ :.'{i l I:u iy^ 'r Ht Af"k.i Ji t li I I11 i I r {II k!

Soccer field numbers are based on full size 80 x 120 yard equivalent, even though many are actually half (50 x 80 yard) or quarter (35 x 55 yard) size for younger age groups. This also accounts for the relatively high number of teams per field. This includes youth and adult teams. (Adults 3 -on -3 league teams were counted as .5 teams. Only winter teams were counted, since that is the time of greatest usage (November through March). Plymouth teams play at Wayzata High School Arena and New Hope Arena, both are six-month facilities. Baseball/Softball If we assume the adult softball program will move from four lighted fields at Zachary Playfield to 4 lighted fields at Elm Creek Playfield, that opens the four at Zachary to youth baseball/softball. The newly acquired FSS property could add four more fields. New fields could also come at the old Wayzata High School and the tenth playfield. Our 1995 statistics include fields at Wayzata district elementary schools that could see more usage with some needed renovation.

The newly acquired FSS property could add four more fields. New fields could also come at the old Wayzata High School and the tenth playfield. Our 1995 statistics include fields at Wayzata district elementary schools that could see more usage with some needed renovation. This group includes Kimberly Lane, Plymouth Creek, Sunset, and Greenwood. Two new 90 foot fields are planned for Elm Creek Playfield. Others could be added at the tenth playfield or by enlarging an existing field at Zachary Playfield. There -are four other areas to watch for growth that could put us beyond projected need; girls softball in east Plymouth, boys softball throughout Plymouth, adult baseball, and evening T-Ball/Instructional Baseball & Softball programs. Soccer Six new fields are scheduled for Elm Creek Playfield. Other expansion could occur at the old Wayzata High School and the tenth playfield site. Soccer is a fast-growing sport that attracts both boys and girls of all ages fairly evenly. The anticipated growth in travel teams should be reflected in slightly reduced growth in house league teams. Adult soccer could grow from a handful of independent teams today in state-run leagues to large city -run house leagues (similar to our adult softball program). Some fall field expansion can occur on existing facilities by putting fields in the outfields of fenced softball/baseball fields. Another sport that could be sharing these fields in the future is rugby. Football Football's needs for an additional field or two may be due by next fall. We may have to switch fields that were traditionally fall soccer fields to football to "get by" until the Elm Creek Playfield site is ready. Other expansion could occur at the old Wayzata High School and the tenth playfield sites. Basketball Additional gym space will have to come at the new Wayzata High School, expansion at Armstrong High School, more usage at old Wayzata High School, and/or construction of a city - run gym. Basketball should continue to grow along with the other winter gym tenants, indoor soccer. Soccer could eventually be accommodated in a field house, possibly at the new Wayzata High School. Another sport that could emerge is boy's volleyball. If space becomes available, there's already interest in the community. Our current adult volleyball program, which attracts about 40 teams per winter, has not been factored in this report. It, too, should continue to grow. Hockey Today's local facilities don't begin to meet the needs of two Plymouth high school boys and girls programs plus over 50 youth teams. Children are forced to travel long distances to remote indoor facilities at undesirable hours to bridge the gap in needed ice time. Girls hockey is expected to progress rapidly. We also have over 400 figure skaters in Plymouth looking for practice time. When you add the potential for expanding existing adult outdoor hockey and broomball leagues, it leaves one conclusion. We need at least two new indoor rinks as soon as they can be built. We are by far the largest community in Minnesota without a city arena.
