5. DISCUSSION ON THE BLITZ (TRAILS, FREEMAN PARK BUILDING •
AND SKATE PARK)
Arnst explained that the Commission has discussed a number of large projects over the
last several years, and had considered the approach of a "community blitz" at its June 22
joint meeting with City Council. Council member Garfunkel had missed the meeting and
was present at this meeting to share his concerns and learn more about the idea. Also,
since the June 22 meeting, Mayor Love has talked with the City Finance Director about
the concept of inter -fund borrowing.
Garfunkel clarified that he would have been able to attend, but was not aware that the
meeting was a joint meeting with Council because of a miscommunication. He has
concerns on a couple of levels. One deals with the language of the resolution and the
other is the actual request. He asked for background information as to the intent of the
request because he doesn't have enough detail to approve the projects and move ahead.
He added that the language indicates a request for approval and he does not have enough
information to make a judgment.
Engineer Brown commented that at the last meeting he heard the Park Commission
wanting support of a package with the hope that we work together and see these through
to completion. The request was not for blanket approval. Staff was directed to draft a
resolution to bring to the City Council, but the Park Commission did not get to review the .
draft before it was delivered to Council.
Mayor Love added that in talking with some of the Commissioners, the idea was to garner
support and momentum for the projects. Perhaps the Resolution can be re- worded to
better express the intent, which was to show support.
Arnst explained that the Commission has been hashing over the issue of adding a park
building at Freeman for couple of years. Plus, they want to keep the momentum going for
the trail process. Now, the more recent idea of a skate park is one where the Commission
wants to build community support. They felt they needed to do something creative to get
things done. The Commission thought, by asking the Council for support, the added
participation and excitement would build momentum for all three projects. She agreed
that the Resolution needs some word - smithing.
Garfunkel expressed that perhaps he is just hung up on the language. As the resolution
currently stands it is not something he could personally approve. He thinks the process is
moving along for trails, and as far as funding, he would like to step back and look at what
the Commission is trying to do. If there is not enough money, they need to get feed back
from residents.
Arnst stated that they need about $240,000 for the park shelter, which is already in the
CIP. The total package needs roughly another $200,000. Garfunkel said that is a
Park Commission
July 13, 1999
Page 3
significant amount and we do need to put out there what we're talking about so folks will
know. This means presenting the building plans to show something tangible. He
reiterated that he understands the intent, but doesn't think this captures it.
The words "immediate completion" also concerned Council member Garfunkel and will
need some clarification. The other problem word is "blitz" which he noted is not just a
sports term, but is a negative word from history. The actual definition in the dictionary is
"a sudden destructive attack." He feels it is an inappropriate word for this purpose.
Council member Zerby asked if the word "rally" is preferred. Garfunkel said it is a better
word, adding that we live and die by the words we use, so careful wording is important.
Co -chair Arnst suggested that the Commission do some word - smithing and come back
with another draft of the resolution.
Garfunkel also pointed out that the work on trails is in process and some funding is
already in place. He asked what else needs to be done there. Mayor Love agreed that the
general intent must be clear so we do not go back and forth in meetings. Arnst explained
that the Park Commission is simply trying to get the City Council involved. Garfunkel
said the Council is always involved.
Love added that the skate park is not in process or funded. The hope was to get fire under
other people to excite them about all of the projects. The idea is that the combination of
the projects will create momentum for the skate park idea. Garfunkel said to get the nuts
and bolts together and start doing it. If he is shown the deal, he is happy to go along with
it. He asked specifically on the multi - purpose building, what are we waiting on. Just by
moving along on that will build excitement. A resolution is not really needed here.
Commissioner Themig added that the Park Commission is doing staff roles. In other
cities the City Council chooses an idea, gives it to staff for plans and then it goes to the
Commission. What he envisioned is that the Commission is looking for enthusiasm and
vision from the City Council to go ahead. Garfunkel stated that he voted for a trail
process 1 1/2 years ago and it is now in place, so just move ahead with it.
Arnst explained that the Commissioners feel something has been missing. They have
been uncertain. One thing that ties her hands is the CIP. She has not been able to think
outside of that box and is trying to do that now and is asking for the Council's support.
Garfunkel pointed out that there are limited resources and we have to live within the
budget, however we do have the money to do some of these projects.
Mayor Love commented that the dialogue is good and we will all be working together to
solve some issues. He personally felt that if the Park Commission came to the City
Council with a plan for future revenue sources, there could be inter -fund borrowing.
Garfunkel added that if they present the plan and the costs, the Council can then say,
we're short here and can step in and borrow from there, etc. He needs to see a plan.

Concepts are fine and he has already agreed to most of them. He thinks the skate park is
a great concept, but we need a plan to see if it's feasible. There are a lot of what -ifs.
Council member Lizee said that from the last meeting, her impression is that the
Commission wanted the support and enthusiasm of the Council to get public support.
Maybe the Commission has felt they have been out on a satellite and there is a need to
create a partnership with the Council and both Commissions.
Puzak pointed out that the Commissioners authored only a motion, not the resolution. It
was written around the motion, but the Commission is not a party to the resolution. The
spirit of the Commission's intent is in the motion. We asked for focus because the three
projects are large and would be stressing staff and the budget. The Commission wanted
to involve the City Council before moving ahead so they can know if the next steps are
okay (details and funding, etc.).
Garfunkel told the Commission to bring a plan with the price tag and then it can be
hammered out. The Council is in agreement on that. Love pointed out the intent, as we
looked at the building, talked about details and how to trim, is to go with the lowest
responsible bid. This is a way of showing in a reportable way to the community what we
want to do.
Puzak explained that some of the things the Commission needed help with are; resources, •
time, and the focus of more than just the Park Commission. We are able to say we have
identified these items as a community asset and are now asking for help to move ahead.
He reviewed the status of the three projects and the needs for proceeding. In order to get
a skate park going, the Commission needs Mayors, Administrators and Commissions of
all.cities involved. The purpose of a blitz was to get the attention of all and that is what
was asked for in the motion.
Arnst asked Garfunkel if he had other questions. His comment was that he would not do
it this way by lumping all of the projects together. People will react differently to each of
the projects. Disconnecting them would be more productive and would generate more
awareness and lasting interest from the public. Themig said the problem when talking
about individual items is that the funding of one affects the scope of the other projects.
When we look at the CIP, one project disables the other projects because of limited
funding. He added that the Council is looking to the Commission to be visionaries on
projects, rather than solve nuts and bolts. Garfunkel said he sees the Council's role as
policy - makers. This is a fiscal policy issue.
Mayor Love felt it is. the role of the Park Commission and City Council to work together
to create the vision and show it to the community. He hears the Park Commission saying
they feel isolated from the Council in dealing with the projects and that projects compete
with each other. If there is a determined plan and funding source, the project should be a
go. The skate park will take the effort of several Park Commissions. Once activity is

. shown they can also generate the interest of perhaps the Excelsior Area Chamber of
Commerce and the American Legion Post.
Council Member Lizee felt that because the various projects appeal to different groups, it
would be better to keep them together. Zerby said priority is something the City Council
needs to set. Garfunkel added that maybe the Commission is looking to the Council for a
way to prioritize these projects. Or is the bottom line that we have more wants than
resources in staff, money, or community support? Then we have to take one step at a
time.
Engineer Brown commented that he has a problem with some items under the Funding
Source Summary of the CIP. There are suggestions of policies, which do not have a
history, such as Organization Building Surcharge or Sports Organizations- Maintenance.
Love agreed that before the Council would consider inter -fund borrowing, those policies
would have to be tightened up. Brown added he wants to make sure everyone knows
there are still hurdles to jump through.
Love said he feels inter -fund borrowing is fiscally responsible. Garfunkel called it
fiscally possible. Love said there would have to be a reasonable pay back schedule.
Garfunkel said the concepts are fine, but he would need to see details.
Arnst reiterated that the Park Commission's intent was to ask the Council to share their
enthusiasm. We know there are hurdles and a process —and by natural order the projects
will not happen all at the same time. They have shared their excitement and continue to
ask the Council for their support. Garfunkel said he appreciated being heard. Love asked
him if there was a resolution that met the things they have talked about, would he support
it. Garfunkel said yes, but he would not know for sure until he could see the document.
He added that he agrees with the projects themselves.
Themig asked Garfunkel if he has concerns on any of the projects. Garfunkel said he has
some concerns on the trail segment for Smithtown. It is unclear where the trail starts and
ends and it seems to connect to nowhere. Themig pointed out that it goes to the LRT.
Brown explained that the original discussion was to stop at Strawberry Lane, but after
cost estimates were in, the Park Commission asked to see a bid for a trail to the LRT.
Garfunkel was okay with that idea.
Mayor Love said he hears a consensus on the projects, but it is going to take some
working through the details. Success is already apparent because they are having good
dialogue. Zerby asked what it would take to get the park building to move ahead. Brown
said he would next go to the Planning Commission with the conditional use permit.
Garfunkel asked for plans or drawings so the Council can direct the Planning
Commission to proceed.

Brown clarified the procedure, stating that on the next City Council meeting agenda there •
would be a motion to support the concept plan. Garfunkel added that they can work on
details afterward. Once it is out there as a concept, it can later be trimmed if needed.
Commissioner Berndt asked for clarification on the skate park idea. Puzak said it is for
use by both roller blades and skateboards, adding that the kids will hopefully work on the
design. Themig reported that the City of Shoreview just completed a skate park and it is
described as a success with a lot of merit. Puzak views the skate park as almost a
community service project, somewhat like the Southshore Center. This one is hopefully
teaching young people to get involved in community service.
Council member Garfunkel suggested making a resolution contingent on the participation
of other cities. That puts the ball in their court. Once we put up our $5,000, we can ask
others to contribute. Arnst asked who would go to the other cities. Mayor Love said he
will, plus they can form a team. Brown asked if anything else needs to happen before
approaching the other cities. The Council agreed to put it on their next agenda. Brown
asked the Park Commission for input on a draft resolution. Arnst will review the draft
and fax her suggestions. Garfunkel thanked the Commission for hearing his input.
Trail Design and Cost Estimates
Engineer Brown introduced Don Sterna of WSB. Mr. Sterna displayed drawings for two
options of the Smithtown trail segment designs and presented cost estimates. He stated
that the goal is to get the trail from the future Victoria trail segment to Minnewashta
School and also to extend to the regional trail. They were working with the idea of an
off - street trail of 6 foot wide bituminous along one side (south) of Smithtown Road. Mr.
Sterna reviewed terrain issues, explaining that the trail is mainly staying along the edge of
the road because of safety concerns when a trail leads away from road. The plan includes
a 6 -foot boulevard, which may need to be reduced to 4 feet in some spots.
Brown noted that part of the challenge has been that the first concept included a crossing
on Smithtown and the Commission asked to see cost estimates for keeping the trail along
one side of the road. When reviewed there were found to be a number of hurdles
(ditching, etc.), plus costs are significantly more. Mr. Sterna added there are a lot of
impediments along the way. In some areas it makes sense to install 6 inch bituminous
curb to direct drainage. There are also some trees impacted with this plan. Brown added .
that the extent of tree removal will not be known until later. Drainage is the bigger issue.
One way to get an agreeable trail in there may be through addressing drainage problems.
The downside is that it adds a substantial cost.
Right of Way may be another issue in some places. Brown explained that in parts where
we are constrained by rights of way, curb and gutter was also undesirable. However, a
bituminous curb and gutter— rather than concrete— may not be as much of a problem to
those who prefer the rural feel of the neighborhood. Council member Garfunkel asked 0
Park Commission
July 13, 1999
Page 7
where rain and water run -off would go. Brown said there would have to be a storm sewer
system. Sterna added that it would require work with Watershed Districts.
In preparing the cost estimates, WSB tried to make a stab at easement costs where
applicable. Themig pointed out that if a trail goes in and we work with homeowners, the
City is providing a trail which a lot of them want, and at the same time, addressing their
water problems. Brown reiterated that because the area is basically flat, the only way
drainage will be solved is with a storm sewer system. This adds a major cost, but it may
win some people over to the idea of street reconstruction.
Mr. Sterna pointed out that Smithtown is a heavily used street. Brown said that MSA
funding requires an 8 -foot width for trails. Sterna added that the use of MSA funds
would mean having to meet their criteria for the street as well. Bituminous curb may or
may not qualify for funding. Garfunkel pointed out that either way, water needs to be
diverted somewhere.
Arnst asked what needs to be accomplished next. Brown gave an overview of costs for
both options. Sterna explained that the second sheet shows figures for the segment from
Strawberry Lane to the LRT. For the entire segment from Victoria to the LRT, the 2
figures have to be combined. The estimate just to Strawberry Lane is $260,000. There are
definite challenges to overcome. In some places the only way to deal with it is with the 6-
is inch bituminous curb.
The second plan is a look at just widening out a 6 -foot shoulder to create an on- street
trail. Council member Liz6e pointed out site problems for traffic in areas near her
neighborhood. Brown explained that WSB was asked to put a plan together from the
technical aspect only. Crossings are undesirable. The City hears often about speeding on
Smithtown. Brown suggested that there may be a spot to break down the long stretch of
road, emphasizing that he is not saying that stop signs will necessarily slow traffic down.
Yet it is something to be considered.
Arnst asked what happens with speeds when you add pedestrian traffic along the side.
Sterna replied that anytime you can separate pedestrians from vehicle traffic, obviously
safety is much better. Mayor Love asked if there were no permitting issues for the
Watershed when the trail is separate from the road. No, was the reply. Brown added that
because of privacy and easement concerns of the residents, he did look at an on -street
option. The Park Commission desires an off - street trail.
Co -chair Arnst asked if there are MSA funds available if the trail is off - street. Sterna said
that MSA requires a minimum 8 -foot width. Plus there are other requirements. Brown
added that for a state project, the City has to go through a much larger process.
Arnst asked if money is available in a separate fund if we incorporate stormwater
management into the trail project. Brown said that the City has a stormwater
Park Commission
July 13, 1999
Page 8
management plan and they are currently identifying key projects to prioritize. Sterna
added that if you are looking at using MSA funds, a portion of the storm sewer is eligible
for funding. There are design caveats you have to meet.
Puzak said that if considering MSA funds would require an 8 -foot wide path, we need to
go back to the neighbors and walk the site again with that option in mind. At the last
walk, we were talking about a 6 -foot path. Sterna said that a big hurdle is the drainage
issue. Puzak said it is a cost we should be addressing anyway. It is an existing problem
which some residents expressed that at the last walk. Sterna said that there seems to be
drainage concerns and sections of the roadway that need to be reconstructed anyway, so
do you incorporate both problems at the same time and avoid having to go back later.
Brown pointed out that the condition of Smithtown Road is taking on a more "rural
character" every day. Also, the City has pressure to use state aid funds. In the next 5 to 7
years Smithtown will have to undergo roadway reconstruction. Local roadway funds are
available for some of the City streets. Love asked if Smithtown would have to be
widened to be improved with MSA funding. Brown said it would be a minimum of 26
feet if curb to curb. If there was no curb, MSA requires ditching, etc.
Mayor Love pointed out that people want the road improved, but speeds kept down. Yet,
when the road condition improves, speeds tend to increase. Garfunkel added that people
have a false sense of security when there are curb and gutter on a street. Themig asked if
the addition of a trail at the time of street improvement would lessen safety concerns for
pedestrians. Sterna offered the idea of doing a curb on one side and ditch on other side.
Brown commented that the other issue is clear zone.
Brown added that he sees overwhelming support for a trail segment on Covington and
Vine Hill, which is a great opportunity to bolster community support for the trail concept
in Shorewood. It was thought that this segment could be done this year. Maybe the
Smithtown segment can then be allowed more time for the Park Commission and City
Council to sit down in work study. Arnst added that people would need to see numbers
for costs to residents with or without MSA funding. The bottom line is what is it going to
cost and does it go into my space.
Brown said Smithtown is scheduled for reconstruction from Country Club Road to
Eureka in 2001. The road will continue to deteriorate over the next 4 or 5 years.
However, there are other needs that are higher priority for the next few years. The state is
urging the City to utilize MSA funds or loose them. Smithtown Road is scheduled for the
year 2001 at 1.1 million dollars. Council member Garfunkel said the road is good now,
and asked if it is prudent to rip it up to rebuild. Themig commented that the State says
the City is not using available street funds now.

. Mayor Love said that every year we are seeing more pressure to get MSA standards to be
more flexible. The MSA requirements do not always meet local needs. Garfunkel added
that yes, the money is available but it comes with strings attached. Brown noted this year,
for the first time, he has seen MSA flex in reducing the clear zone from 30 feet to 10 feet
on areas with lower speed limits.
Sterna asked why put in a trail if you don't solve the existing drainage problems. The
tricky part is with easements, especially where there are mature trees. We can look at
alternatives to solve the drainage problems. Brown said the hurdle would be to get
Mn/DOT to accept Smithtown as a 30 -mph road. He asked if that is practical. Love said
the City of Minneapolis does work with moving hefty trees with good rate of success and
asked if Shorewood could get that equipment. Brown said he thought transplanting trees
larger than 4 to 6 inch diameter gets questionable, depending on the type of tree. Love
thinks that is reasonable to look into as an option. Sterna said that a tree with 8" diameter
is the biggest you want to move. Trees are a big issue. Some can be moved back.
10:15 Council member Garfunkel exits.
Brown asked to clarify the direction for the projects under consideration: Covington and
Vine Hill trail, Smithtown Road, and Freeman park building, and the skate park. What he
heard on the park building was to add 12 feet to the picnic pavilion area. The
Commission agreed on that point, as well as the addition of at least one more stall in the
womens restroom. Brown said he has clear direction on the two resolutions, but is less
clear on the Commission's "assignment" regarding the 2 trail segments.
Arnst said as far as the Covington / Vine Hill project, the Commission has gotten
comments and is still collecting comments. Themig suggested that draft resolutions on
the park building and skate park be prepared for the next Park Commission meeting.
Then we have a chance to review the drafts and forward them to the City Council. Trail
construction is a year out anyway. Sterna recommended that if the Commission wants to
have chance for public involvement, that they stay with plans and bids. He said to get
their ducks in row this year, (survey, plans, etc.) and let out for bids in early spring.
Brown added that he does not see that approach as a derailment of the whole process. He
suggested to authorize WSB to collect data and come out with a design and continue in
the preliminary design process. Get the survey and preliminary plan done so it's ready to
bid on January 1.
Themig said we still have a policy issue in terms of design on the table from Vine Hill
folks who want concrete walks. Brown said that does not impact alignment or
preliminary plans either way. Puzak asked if they could bid in October for construction
in April. Brown explained why that would likely not achieve a good bid result. Puzak
asked how we can make as much progress as possible. Brown said to do a good project
W.
Park Commission
July 13, 1999
Page 10
should take 14 to 18 months. Themig added that the key is to bid at the first of the year
and pointed out that the Commission has made progress toward that goal. 40
Sterna said the trick is to be ahead, but not too far ahead. It seems like residents want to
have more information and another look. That would be very tight to do yet this year plus
it eliminates the chance for residents to have another look. He asked if some of the cost
is to be funded by assessments from residents, saying that would change the process.
Brown explained further about what that entails. Puzak commented that it doesn't change
the decision time, but the implementation process.
Other questions were raised about costs on the Smithtown trail plan, other data needed
and further definition of the concrete bituminous issue for Vine Hill. Themig said he
talked to one person who is concerned about his property value and the condition of
bituminous in a few years. It seemed he was not that concerned about the additional cost
of concrete for himself.
Brown suggested, in the interest of conserving time, we can work on the feasibility report
and draft of policy concurrently. Themig asked if the City Council would be comfortable
with the Park Commission asking for additional consideration for Smithtown Road. Love
and Liz6e said yes. Themig suggested to move the Covington / Vine Hill project ahead
and look at the long -term plan for Smithtown. Liz6e pointed out that the City has
promised residents that Smithtown is on an equal plane with the Vine Hill project, adding
that the two projects have very different considerations
Arnst asked what is the next step. Themig said it sounds like we need four separate
resolutions. Mayor Love said bringing resolutions to Council leads to joint work
sessions. Dialogue is critical. Brown said that to prepare feasibility reports would be the
resolution. He was still unclear about the Commissions intent for Smithtown at this
point. Love suggested more work sessions for Smithtown.
Brown said he will go to the City Council with a park shelter concept plan. On the skate
park and Covington / Vine Hill projects he will order feasibility studies and ask to
authorize a survey for Vine Hill at the July 26 Council meeting.
Sterna asked if there is a current policy that trails will be bituminous and, if they are
looking at upgrades to concrete, what is the policy for that. Brown said that staff will
bring a draft policy to the Park Commission for their consideration.
10:37 Mayor Love and Council member Liz6e exit.
7. PARK FOUNDATION
A. Is It Fulfilling its Intended Purpose?
•
Park Commission
July 13, 1999
Page 11
Co -chair Arnst explained that in January the City Council asked the Park Commission to
appoint a representative to the Park Foundation. They also asked the Commission to look
into the purpose of the Park Foundation. At the same time, the Commission is looking
into alternative funding and some big projects. She asked the Commission to put some
ideas on the table for their vision for the Park Foundation and how they can help us with
parks. One idea is to come up with visions, give them over to the Foundation, ask if they
can do something within a timeline, and then come back to see where it sits.
Themig suggested giving the Foundation the idea of the skate park as their number one
focus. Puzak said it may confuse them since they have been working toward the
concession stand goal to raise $10,000. He felt that a reason for not seeing a lot of
productivity is because of the expectations we have set. He added that the Commission
has ignored the Foundation as requests have come from Little League by not including
them in the process.
There was further discussion on where the help is needed and the most appropriate
project in which to involve the Foundation. The skate park is a multi -city project, which
may work well with the Foundation, which is a group without borders. Themig suggested
asking the Foundation to commit to $5,000 and ask the other cities for contributions as
well. Arnst said she would like the Foundation to also help with public relations. Puzak
cautioned not to throw too much too fast at them. Themig considers public relations as a
role of the Park Commission.
Puzak brought up the fact that the Foundation's role has been so intangible. The
intentions in a document are wonderful, but old. The words are there, but words don't
make things happen.. Themig added that by asking for dollars they will be out there
promoting. Arnst asked what would be the timeline. Puzak recommended a joint
meeting with the Commission and Foundation members. Themig suggested a March 1
deadline for their contribution toward the park building.
Puzak cautioned the Commission to not put out a goal too quickly on the skate park.
Brown said the land ownership is just a small technicality. The title transfer should be
recorded soon. Puzak said that the City has not asked much of the Foundation and it
would be too quick -paced to throw both projects at them so suddenly. Berndt added that
the Foundation will need a timeline in order to plan fundraising.
Arnst suggested a joint meeting and asked about the idea of asking for a general donation
of $15,000 per year for parks. Themig recommended they be committed to a specific
project. Puzak agreed that it may be harder for the Foundation to work toward funds that
are not earmarked. Themig suggested reviewing the original charge to the Foundation.
B. Decision on Continuing or Changing the Foundation

Themi g recommended to communicate their request and have a joint meeting to get idea
of their commitment and to take a look at the whole structure of the Foundation. The
Commission needs to give a charge first, then request a meeting and have some
communications. Ideas for joint meeting time and agenda were discussed. It was agreed
to meet at 6:30 p.m. on September 14 for one hour. The request will be presented for
$10,000 by March 1 for multipurpose building and $5,000 for skate park at some other
time.

RE: Freeman Park Picnic Shelter - C.U.P.
FILE NO.: 405 (99.13)
BACKGROUND
The master plan for Freeman Park (see Site Location map — Exhibit A, attached) includes a
multi -use building, to be located in the vicinity of the northerly ball fields and the northerly
parking lot (see Exhibit B). Section 120 1. 10 Subd. 4.b. of the Shorewood Zoning Code requires
that public recreational buildings be processed by Conditional Use Permit. A public hearing has
been scheduled for 3 August 1999.
Freeman Park is Shorewood's largest park at approximately 52 acres. The Comprehensive Plan
classifies Freeman Park as a community park, which includes both active and passive
recreational opportunities. The park is zoned R -IA, Single - family Residential.
Exhibit C shows in detail how the building will be situated in the park. As can be seen on
Exhibit D, the building will contain 1475 square feet of interior space, including a multi -use
room with concession area, storage and restrooms. The attached picnic pavilion measures 27' x
32'and contains 864 square feet of area. The building will be one story in height, with decorative
concrete block at the base, cedar siding and a gable roof with asphalt shingles, as shown on;
Exhibit E. Additional background information is provided in the City Engineer's memorandum,
dated 21 July 1999 (see Exhibit F).

Memorandum
Re: Freeman Park Multi -use Building C.U.P.
1 August 1999
• ANALYSIS/RECOMNIENDATION
Section 1201.10 Subd. 4.d. of the Zoning Code sets forth several criteria for the consideration of
a conditional use permit for a recreational building. Following is how the proposed multi -use
building complies with the Code:
The minimum side yard setback requirement for the R- I A Zoning District, in which the
Park is located, is doubled, to twenty feet. The proposed shelter is approximately 300
feet from the nearest property line and 450 feet from the nearest home.
2. A heavily wooded area separates the proposed building from nearby homes. This
location results in minimal site alteration and no loss of trees. It also relates very well to
the parking lot, ball fields and future skating rink.
3. Parking is in place for Freeman Park. As mentioned above the multi -use building is
located so as to be convenient from the northerly ball fields and parking Iot.
4. The proposed shelter is consistent with the Shorewood Comprehensive Plan and is
compatible with residential development.
Based upon the preceding it is recommended that the conditional use permit be approved so that
construction of the shelter can take place this construction season.

RE: AM otion approving Concept Plan for Multipurpose Building at Freeman Park
Background
The Park Commission has identified the need for a Multipurpose Building at Freeman Park. It has been
suggested that this building support the following activities:
1. Provide restroom facilities adequate to handle larger activity demands
2. Serve as a picnic pavilion with basic kitchen facilities
;. Incorporate an indoor activity area with storage facilities
4. Allow for convenient sale of concession goods for sports organizations
5. The indoor area is to be designed to serve as a warming house for future development of skating
at Freeman Park.
The Park Commission has conducted several site tours to facilities in other cities. This provided a broad
range of ideas and concepts which other municipalities have used. attachment I is layouts from the
concept that has developed utilizing other facility layouts along with analyzing the needs of the parks.
Building Characteristics
Luken As has prepared elevations and a floor plan for the building. In summary, the drawings
show men and women's restrooms, a storage facility, a multipurpose indoor activity area, and a picnic
pavilion. The following is a brief summary as to the development and suggested options for each of the
• four areas.

Page 2 of 4 .
The plans propose two water closets and one lavatory for the restrooms. The original plan had
incorporated three water closets, based upon the anticipated demand of Freeman Park. Concerns about
minimizing the costs for the overall structure have reduced the plan to two water closets each (men's and
women's). The Park Commission has directed Staff to include in the design plans, a bid alternate to add
a third water closet to the facility. Therefore, the City Council and Park Commission can weigh the
added costs, versus the anticipated needs of the park.
It has been recommended that the bathrooms be able to be accessed from the interior of the building
either open or locked dependent upon the needs of each activity. During ballfield activities, it is desirable
to access only the restroom areas with the main -room and storage facilities remaining secure. Duri
"main -room activities" it is likely that restrooms will be accessible from either inside or outside. Finally,
during the skating season, it is important that the warming house attendant maintain an open access to
restrooms to prevent vandalism or mischief, while providing adequate privacy.
An 11' x 19' storage area has been provided for storage of concession goods, a secure area for any
appliances during winter /warming house seasons, and a utility area for the furnace, water heater, 'and
basic plumbing access.
The interior main -room is approximately 34' x 22 and will consist of an open area with countertop, small
sink area, and room for a refrigerator. A double door window has been provided to serve as a concession
window. Similarly, double doors have been Iocated to the open pavilion area to allow easy access and
preparation of food during the Iarger events.
The open picnic pavilion has been styled identical to the other picnic shelter already at Freeman Par.'
Beams for the roof are to be pitched arch beams to minimize access to the gable area. This will hei
prevent vandalism, as there will be no area for kids to access. The picnic pavilion has been shown at 21'
by 30.5'. Staff was directed to include a bid alternative that would modify the pavilion area to 3b' x
30.5'.
Site Plan
Attachment 2 is the site plan for the shelter. As mentioned earlier in this report, the shelter is to be
located north of the northerly parking area of Freeman Park. The plans indicate that an 3 -inch diameter
sanitary sewer main is to be extended from Eureka Road, to the shelter. One alternative to be
investigated, if the project is approved, is to shift the sanitary sewer outside of the parking area to
minimize disruption to the park.

Currently, a small block structure Iocated immediate south of the proposed building exists as an irrigation
pump house. The original concept was to remove this structure and incorporate the pumps and irrigation
equipment into the storage area of the multipurpose building_ After researching this concept, it has been
suggested that costs for re- piping the irrigation system and pumps would be cost prohibitive. Therefore,
the existing irrigation building is to remain.
The exterior of the building has been shown as a wood siding on top of a masonry base. These materials
were chosen to balance cost versus maintenance costs and durability the Iife of the structure.
Freeman Park does have a higher incident rate of vandalism than the other parks in the City of
Shorewood.
Costs and Funding for the Project:
Costs for this project have been a subject of great debate. Reaction to preliminary estimates for the
project was cause for Staff to seek a preliminary cost estimate from a contractor who performs the trade
® of park/shelter construction. Due to the necessity for bidding of such a project, the numbers provided are
only an estimate for budgetary purposes.
Sanitary Sewer Construction S 50,202
Building Construction $192,027
Building/StructuraI Design (estimated) 5 7.700
Total V 5249,929
Attachment 3 is the draft Capital Improvement Program (CIP) which indicates a 5250,000 expenditure
for the Multipurpose Building and sanitary sewer in 1999. At this point in the season, it is more probable
that if the project moves forward, funds would be spread over the fall/winter of 1999 and the spring of
the year 2000. However, for discussion purposes and the programming of funds, the expenditure has
been shown in 1999.
This draft of the CIP includes interfund borrowing of 510,000 from the general m nd in 1999, and the
suggested organization building surcharge fees of 510,000 - S15,000. In addition, sports maintenance
fees have also been listed. At this time, not all the revenues sug in the CIP have been instituted by
the City. These policy questions are still being reviewed by the Park Commission, and will take further
study.
The Park Commission has requested approval of the concept plan from the City Council, for the plan to
move forward. Certainly, not all of the funding issues for this project, and others in the 5 -year CIP, have
i been resolved. However, the Park Commission continues to seek out various forms of revenue potential
such as fundraising or user fees for various activities in the park.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
James C. Hurm, City Administrator
FROM: Larry Brown, Director of Public Works
DATE: July 21, 1999
RE: A Motion to Adopt a Resolution Authorizing Preparation Preliminary Design Plans for the
Covington Road Vine Hill Road Off Street Trails
On Tuesday July 13` the Park Commission conducted a neighborhood information meeting for the
construction of off street trails along Covington Road and Vine Hill Road. The meeting was well
attended by residents of the area, with positive support being voiced for the project.
Attachment 1 is a map which shows the scope of the project. The first segment of trail is located on the
north side of Covington Road. The trail is proposed as a 6.0 foot off street bituminous trail, which
extends from the existing sidewalk along Silverwood Park, to Vine Hill Road. The length of this
segment is 1,700 feet and has an estimated project cost of $68,56' ).95 (refer to Attachment 2).
The Second segment of trail considered as part of the same project, is an off street trail on the west side
of Vinehll Road. Preliminary concepts of this plan indicated that this trail will also be a 6.0 --foot
bituminous trail, and would extend from the existing trail south of the intersection Waterford Place/Vine
Hill Road, to 190 feet north of Waterford Place. During the public information meeting and other
park/trail meetings, there have been several residents, which have petitioned the City to consider a
concrete surface, versus an asphalt surface. Petitioners were concerned about the aesthetics and
durability of an asphalt surface versus concrete. The total length of this segment of trail is 2,870 feet
with an associated project cost of $76,837.43 (refer to Attachment 3).
The issue of concrete versus bituminous has received a great amount of debate. Thus far, the
recommendation of the Park Commission has been to offer residents the standard of a bituminous trail. A
concrete walk is approximately twice the cost of the asphalt. Simply put, the City's Trail Fund will not
support such a venture throughout the City. It has been suggested that if residents desire to have a
concrete walk versus asphalt, then they would pay the difference in costs. Concrete would be bid as bid
alternative during the bidding to establish the difference in costs.

At the Park Commission meeting conducted on July 13�', it was suggested that the authorization to be
considered by the City Council would be for the preparation of a feasibility report for the Covington Vine
Hill Road trail segments. A feasibility report would be required to address a 429 process, whereby
assessments could be levied, if residents desired concrete. Staff is recommending an alternative process,
whereby a group of residents petitioning the City for concrete would submit a request for assessment of
the project costs, and waive their right to appeal an assessment. This would allow the City to proceed to
preliminary design for the project without preparation of a feasibility report.
At the time of this report, a proposal was not available from WSB and Associates for preparation of
preliminary and final design costs. Staff will present the proposal to the City Council, Monday night.
the proposal is acceptable to the City Council, the attached resolution which orders preparation ui
preliminary plans would then be adopted.

RE: A Motion Approving Concept Plan for Multipurpose Building at Freeman Park
Background
The Park Commission has identified the need for a Multipurpose Building at Freeman Park. It has been
suggested that this building support the following activities:
1. Provide restroom facilities adequate to handle larger activity demands
2. Serve as a picnic pavilion with basic kitchen facilities
3. Incorporate an indoor activity area with storage facilities
4. Allow for convenient sale of concession goods for sports organizations
5. The indoor area is to be designed to serve as a warming house for future development of skating
at Freeman Park.
The Park Commission has conducted several site tours to facilities in other cities. This provided a broad
range of ideas and concepts which other municipalities have used. Attachment I is layouts from the
concept that has developed utilizing other facility layouts along with analyzing the needs of the parks.
Building Characteristics
Luken Architecture has prepared elevations and a floor plan for the building. In summary, the drawings
show men and women's restrooms, a storage facility, a multipurpose indoor activity area, and a picnic
pavilion. The following is a brief summary as to the development and suggested options for each of the
four areas.

S PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER A*

Page 2 of 4
The plans propose two water closets and one lavatory for the restrooms. The original plan had
incorporated three water closets, based upon the anticipated demand of Freeman Park. Concerns about
minimizing the costs for the overall structure have reduced the plan to two water closets each (men's and
women's). The Park Commission has directed Staff to include in the design plans, a bid alternate to add
a third water closet to the facility. Therefore, the City Council and Park Commission can weigh the
added costs, versus the anticipated needs of the park.
It has been recommended that the bathrooms be able to be accessed from the interior of the building
either open or locked dependent upon the needs of each activity. During ballfield activities, it is desirable
to access only the restroom areas with the main -room and storage facilities remaining secure. Duri
"main -room activities" it is likely that restrooms will be accessible from either inside or outside. Finally,
during the skating season, it is important that the warming house attendant maintain an open access to
restrooms to prevent vandalism or mischief, while providing adequate privacy.
An 11' x 19' storage area has been provided for storage of concession goods, a secure area for any
appliances during winter /warming house seasons, and a utility area for the furnace, water heater, and
basic plumbing access. •
The interior main -room is approximately 34' x 22' and will consist of an open area with countertop, small
sink area, and room for a refrigerator. A double door window has been provided to serve as a concession
window. Similarly, double doors have been located to the open pavilion area to allow easy access and
preparation of food during the larger events.
The open picnic pavilion has been styled identical to the other picnic shelter already at Freeman Par'
Beams for the roof are to be pitched arch beams to minimize access to the gable area. This will help
prevent vandalism, as there will be no area for kids to access. The picnic pavilion has been shown at 21'
by 30.5'. Staff was directed to include a bid alternative that would modify the pavilion area to 36' x
30.5'.
Site Plan
Attachment 2 is the site plan for the shelter. As mentioned earlier in this report, the shelter is to be
located north of the northerly parking area of Freeman Park. The plans indicate that an 8 -inch diameter
sanitary sewer main is to be extended from Eureka Road, to the shelter. One alternative to be
investi if the project is approved, is to shift the sanitary sewer outside of the parking area to
minimize disruption to the park.

Currently, a small block structure located immediate south of the proposed building exists as an irrigation
pump house. The original concept was to remove this structure and incorporate the pumps and irrigation
equipment into the storage area of the multipurpose building. After researching this concept, it has been
suggested that costs for re- piping the irrigation system and pumps would be cost prohibitive. Therefore,
the existing irrigation building is to remain.
The exterior of the building has been shown as a wood siding on top of a masonry base. These materials
were chosen to balance cost versus maintenance costs and durability over the life of the structure.
Freeman Park does have a higher incident rate of vandalism than the other parks in the City of
Shorewood.
Costs and Funding for the Project:
Costs for this project have been a subject of great debate. Reaction to preliminary estimates for the
project was cause for Staff to seek a preliminary cost estimate from a contractor who performs the trade
of park/shelter construction. Due to the necessity for bidding of such a project, the numbers provided are
only an estimate for budgetary purposes.
Sanitary Sewer Construction $ 50,202
Building Construction $192,027
Building/Structural Design (estimated) $ 7.700
Total $249,929
Attachment 3 is the draft Capital Improvement Program (CIP) which indicates a $250,000 expenditure
for the Multipurpose Building and sanitary sewer in 1999. At this point in the season, it is more probable
that if the project moves forward, funds would be spread over the fall/winter of 1999 and the spring of
the year 2000. However, for discussion purposes and the programming of funds, the expenditure has
been shown in 1999.
This draft of the CIP includes interfund borrowing of $10,000 from the general fund in 1999, and the
suggested organization building surcharge fees of $10,000 - $15,000. In addition, sports maintenance
fees have also been listed. At this time, not all the revenues suggested in the CIP have been instituted by
the City. These policy questions are still being reviewed by the Park Commission, and will take further
study.
The Park Commission has requested approval of the concept plan from the City Council, for the plan to
. move forward. Certainly, not all of the funding issues for this project, and others in the 5 -year CIP, have
been resolved. However, the Park Commission continues to seek out various forms of revenue potential
such as fundraising or user fees for various activities in the park.

If the City Council desires this project to move forward, a motion would be passed which approves the
concept drawings, and directs staff to proceed with a conditional use permit for the site. In addition,
Staff is to explore practicable methods for funding this project.

Re: Improvement of Field #2 at Freeman Park
Dear Park Commissioners:
South Tonka Baseball is submitting to the City of Shorewood our proposal to improve
field #2 at Freeman Park.
We purpose re- configuring the ballfield within the existing fencing by moving home
plate 16' north and 10' east and the left field foul pole 10' to the west. The in field will
then be sodded.
The existing backstop's height will be increased, and a new backstop installed
approximately 10' -20' in front of the old backstop. The spectator bleachers will be re-
located between the two backstops. Netting will then be installed from the old (and
taller) backstop to the new backstop. This will reduce the foul ball problem, and provide
safety and shade for the spectators in the bleachers.
The area between the right field sideline fence and the concession stand would provide
for 4 batting cages/ball pens that can be used by the Little League players from field 1
and the Babe Ruth players from field 2.
Later phases to these park improvements include player's dugouts, electric scoreboard,
warning track, and an underground sprinkler system for fields I and 2. An additional
improvement in the future would expand the concession building for increased
concession area, equipment storage and indoor bathrooms.
South Tonka Baseball has applied for a matching grant of up to $5,000 from the
Minnesota Twins Organization. Would the City be willing to make a financial
contribution towards this park improvement? South Tonka Baseball will provide the
additional money, labor and material for this park improvement.
Sincerely,
cy,, I `'

Re: Proposed 2000 Park Operating Budget
Attached please find 4 pages of detail regarding the proposed 2000 park operating budget.
Please review these documents carefully. The first item that should be considered is the
objectives for the year 2000. Year 1999 objectives are listed on page 82.
Page 83 shows summary budget, service indicators, cost indicators and staffing. Under
cost indicators you will find a transfer from the trail fund of $3,000. This is 75% of the
$4,000 budgeted for park and trail planning. $1,000 is proposed to be budgeted for
general park planning purposes.
Pages 100 and 101 are line item detail and explanation of the purposed operating budget.
You will note that code 720 has a permanent transfer of $10,000 budgeted. This would
be intended to go to the park capital fund. However, depending upon how the budget
comes together later this year it is possible that we will not be able to keep that transfer in
the budget.
We can go through the budget in a detail basis at the meeting. If you have any questions
they can be answered at that time, or feel free to call in advance of the meeting(474-
3236).

Re:
Park and Trail Capital Improvement Programs
A Capital Improvement Program(CIP) is not a budget. It is a 5 -year projection of
expenditures and revenues. It shows what can be done with anticipated revenues, and
what additional revenues would be needed to accomplish the projects you are interested
in doing.
0 Project Schedule: Lists out projects and schedules over the next 5 years.
Funding Source Summary: For parks it shows that clearly funds, in addition to the normal
park dedication fees will be necessary to accomplish this aggressive park improvement
program.
Potential Sources of Additional Revenue:
• Organization Building Surcharge: One option would be to ask the sports
organizations that utilize Freeman Park to contribute $10,000 to $15,000 annually,
which would go toward the cost of the building. There are a number of ways the
organizations could contribute these funds. One would be utilizing their fees to
participants. Another would be to hold one or more tournaments. They could work
out something with the city to run the concession stand, supply volunteers, and
require treat tickets to assure that $10,000 to $15,000 would be received by the park
fund.
• Concession Rental: Funds could come from renting the concession stand to
organizations.
•
r%'

i
• Donations: The Park Foundation has already committed to raise $10,000 for the
building. They have established a committee to begin fundraising once the building •
has been decided upon and approved.
• Sewer Fund: There is logic for the City Sewer Fund to pay for the asset of extension
of sewer main to the park building.
• Internal Borrowing From the City's General Fund: There should be an understanding
between the Park Commission and the City Council that should some of these
financial plans in fact not work out the general fund could lend money to the park
fund to be paid back over the years as the park fund balance allows.
Trail Project Schedule: Lists the project cost estimate for three potential trail projects:
Covington/Vine Hill, Smithtown (Victoria to the LRT) and the Old Market Rd crossing.
Project design has been identified in 1999 and construction in the year 2000.
Funding Source Summary: Clearly the total cost of the projects ($537,300) is
significantly more than funding available. The commission will need to work with City
Council to identify other funding sources. The most logical is the street fund. The
funding summary shows an internal borrowing from the street fund of $330,000 in the
year 2000. With a payback coming beginning in the year 2001. 0
Some hard choices will need to be made.

City of Shorewood
Athletic Association Park Use Policy (1/25/99 Draft)
Background Shorewood City park land has been acquired and park facilities and
improvements have been provided over the years by various
sources. The City itself, Athletic Associations to varying degrees,
civic organizations and many volunteers have helped make our
parks what they are today. Once installed, the facilities and
improvements become part of the park and assets of the City. The
athletic associations have provided quality organized sports
activities for the youth and adults of our community.
Purpose Recognizing the increased need for quality athletic facilities, the
Shorewood Park Commission has developed a policy to work more
effectively with athletic associations.
The purpose of this policy is to:
• Establish a basic park facility level_
• Discuss facility improvement funding options.
• Establish a process for requesting facility improvements.
• • Establish ongoing funding sources to maintain parks and
facility improvements.
Basic Park Through general funds, the City will provide the following basic
Facilities park facilities in all parks:
*Park Property
•Field/Play Space
•Play Equipment
•Rest Room Facilities (including portable units)
*Parking
*Trash Receptacles and Removal
The specialized athletic associations are responsible for preparation
of the fields (i.e. striping, placing and removing nets).
Facility Athletic facilities or special use facilities are considered above and
Improvements beyond basic park facilities. As the need for quality athletic facilities
is increasing, funding for facility improvements is decreasing in
Shorewood. Therefore, it is in the best interests of both the athletic
•
W
associations and the City to work cooperatively in addressing
facility improvements.
When an association determines a need for a facility improvement,
the association must present the request to the City for
consideration. Approval and implementation of the request is
greatly enhanced as the proportion of funding provided by non -
City sources increases. A meritorious proposal with full outside
funding is likely to be implemented quickly, while the same
project requesting full or partial City funding must be considered
as part of the City's five -year Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
This consideration will involve evaluation of need verses other
projects waiting funding. If the improvement promotes safety, the
City may actively pursue the improvement.
In order to effectively evaluate projects requesting City funding,
the proposal should be submitted to the Park Commission during
the summer for consideration in the budgeting process.
All proposals* should include the following:
• A thorough description of the improvement.
• Maps or drawings.
• The demonstrated need.
• Estimated Costs.
• Possible funding.
• How the improvement will be completed (volunteers,
contracted work, etc.)
*City staff can assist in providing information (such as maps,
drawings, etc.) for the proposal.
If an improvement is approved and completed, the improvement
becomes the property of the City of Shorewood. If major repair or
replacement is needed, the association may provide funding or
work with the City in identifying the need and scheduling in the
five -year CIP.
Exclusive Use of Recognizing the community benefits of park land, Shorewood Parks
Improved are available on a "First Come, First Served" basis to the
Park Facilities community. However, athletic associations my request exclusive
use of improved park facilities. Requests for use are to be
submitted in January for consideration by the Park Commission.

TO: Mayor Love and Members of the City Council
FROM: Pat Amst, Co- Chair, Park Commission
DATE: July 25, 1999
SUBJ: Trail/neighborhood walks -- Enchanted and Shady Islands
On Saturday, July 24, approximately 20 residents of Enchanted and Shady Islands joined Mayor
Love and Councilmembers Lizee and Zerby, along with Park Commissioners Amst, Berndt and
Puzak for a trail/neighborhood walk. The walk was organized in response to the 1997 request of
several island residents to build some type of trail for pedestrians on the island. Consequently, the
walk was scheduled because the neighborhood showed some interest in a trail and as part of our
ongoing trail planning process. The informal meeting with the neighbors also offered an
opportunity to talk about neighborhood issues and answer any questions.
Generally, the neighbors agreed that there was very little support to build an actual trail. This is in
large part because of the proximity of the roadbeds to wetlands and open water. However, the
• residents were very helpful in making practical suggestions that could alleviate the clash between
cars and pedestrians. They were as follows:
- keep the grass mowed along the side of the road for three feet on either side
- clear back the brush and overhanging branches for three feet on either side
- plow the roadway back three feet on either side in the winter to provide a safe place for
pedestrians to step off the roadway
- paint a yellow line down the center of the road, or paint yellow lines about 24 inches in
from the edge of the road to keep cars in the traffic lanes
Additionally, the residents expressed strong concern about:
blind corners
high speed traffic
many vehicles coming on to the islands who were lost
To remedy those issues they suggested that:
- brush be cleared back from the intersections to allow for better sight lines
- a speed limit sign be installed at the Shorewood city limits (there are none now according
to the residents)
- a sign saying "no outlet" or "dead end" when entering the islands
- speed bumps be considered at the dead end area of Shady Island Circle.
- increased enforcement and ticketing

This was the perfect opportunity for residents to mention other issues and ask questions, and they
did. Not related to pedestrian traffic, but also important to those that joined us were the
following:
- process for installing street lights
- poor road surfaces
- working condition of the dry hydrants
- traffic shortcutting off the road surface at the intersection of Shady Island Road and Shady
Island Circle and killing the grass
Also mentioned was the dumping of yard clippings in the wetlands, and snowmobiles in the
wetland during the winter.
The resident at 4285 Enchanted Lane took the time to show us where numerous overlays by the
city on Enchanted Lane has caused the road surface to be several inches higher than his driveway
and where water once naturally flowed from his driveway across the street to the wetland, it now
pools on his driveway because of the uneven surfaces.
•
His property is also located on a sharp curve in Enchanted Lane. Large trees line the north side of •
the roadway, but a dense thicket of buckthorn and downfall exists around the base of the trees.
The resident suggested that the buckthorn and other downfall could be pulled out allowing for
better sight lines through the curve.
The exchange of information from all of the residents was very lively and extremely helpful for us.
The residents were cordial, helpful and very open. Representatives of the Shady Island and
Enchanted Island Homeowners Associations were present and asked to have a copy of this memo
forwarded to each of them for dissemination to their neighbors.
We enjoyed the opportunity to visit the islands and meet with the residents. The Park Commission
will review the information relative to the trail matter in an upcoming meeting. I hope the Council
and staff will follow up with the other suggestions and questions. This type of citizen involvement
is very important to building a stronger community and keeping the lines of communication open
with our citizens.

Enchanted Neighborhood Walk 7 -24 -99
This is Jenny Brown on Enchanted Point and there is going to be the neighborhood walk
and we will be out of town but I just wanted to give a few comments to pass on.
We will be doing our garden unfortunately it got really busy so it probably won't get
going until the end of August.
I guess what I would like to do is see if it would be more economical to share the
recycling on the island between Shorewood, Minnetrista and Mound and also the
snowplowing.
Another thing would be there is the tennis courts on Shady Island. Would Shorewood be
in a position to buy those and turn those into tennis courts for the City of Shorewood? I
think that is it. I can be reached at 474 -1717 later next week. I will be out of town.

R E: Shoreline Feedback- message left 8/22/97
cc: Park Commission
Hello, this is Rob Sotirin of Shady Island, 5040 Shady Island Point. Phone Number is
474 -0412 and I'm Calling regarding community feedback on trails. The Park Commission
apparently had met with the trail planners to discuss the Shorewood Trail Plan. At a recent
meeting of the Shady Island Homeowners Assoc on the Island we discussed that, shelters
and the need for trail to promote safe walking on Enchanted Drive and possibly around
Shady Island perimeter because of short sight distances and a lot of pedestrian traffic.
We're interested in talking to somebody about that if anybody can give me a call back,
evenings at 474 -0412. We are interested in gathering information about what might be
available in terms of trail development in that area. Thanks
• Call on the Shoreline the weekend of August 30,1997.. .
Yes I am calling because of the trails.. it says "what process should the city utilities to
reevaluate the trails," one thing they should do is to make sure there are some kind of
lights across these trails ... people are getting very close to vehicles when they are
crossing... I have seen people almost get rear ended, and I know that the law states that
you are supposed to stop for any pedestrians, and a lot of people are not stopping and I
think that they are not, the cross walks where they are crossing should be a little more lit.
Thank you.
Message Left on the Shoreline on September 2, 1997. .
Hello, my name is Tony Brausen and I live at 5955 Ridge Road in Shorewood. I just
wanted to leave a message and say two things: first I really appreciate this message
service. It is real useful to be able to call and let you folks know what's on our minds and
again I really appreciate that; and secondly regarding park improvements, there was
something in the last report regarding park improvements planned for the next 5 years or
regarding getting input for that. We have used the Silverwood Park quite a bit, probably
on average 2 to 3 times a week. We live right near that park, and really enjoy that park.
The only significant improvement I can think of is the open field part, the grass is not
growing really well right now, and it is not really useful right now because it is usually
really muddy or bumpy. So anything that you can do to level that off and make it more
useful would be appreciated. Everything else about that park is great and we use it often.
Thank you very much for allowing the input. Bye.

PARK COMMISSION MINUTES
SEPTEMBER 8,1998 - PAGE 5
costly. Chair Puzak noted the many side benefits to all involved in the process as a learning
• experience. He stated that there is data that can be trusted. The way the issue of trails has been
handled can also be trusted by residents. The next step is a scheduled joint work session with the
City Council.
Themig asked about the 1992 trail plan and if any of that data can be used in order to save money
and time for the City. Koegler said that the 1992 plan is a piece of information to look at. One
distinction from the current thinking is that the previous plan tied trials into roadway
improvements. The Citizen Review Group recommends doing trails for the sake of trails. Not
all of those designated routes are realistic, but it is a place to start. Hurm commented that the
information already obtained will be combined with newly gathered information. He also
reminded the Commission that CIP funds for trails decrease over time and that other resources
for funding should be considered.
Hurm asked if the Park Commission would like the City Council or someone else to work on the
commitment statement. Puzak replied that it should be developed jointly from the good basis
already provided by the Koegler and the Citizen Review Group. Themig asked how to include
the involvement of community representatives without cluttering the agenda. Koegler suggested
that within the perimeters defined by the City Council, a group could be assembled to oversee
this. It shouldn't be too cumbersome. Hurm and Koegler stated that they both see the Park
Commission as the group to establish momentum through the beginning steps. Chair Puzak
thanked Mark Koegler for his work and the report.
0 7. OLD BUSINESS
Commissioner Themig asked about the status of the request for the purchase of a backup
snowmobile. Administrator Hurm reported that the City Council is questioning the idea of
funding a second snowmobile. He added that the Police Chief has said that grants are available
for the cost of overtime pay and they anticipate receiving those funds again. The matter will be
brought before the Coordinating Committee to see if expenses for a new sled can be shared by
neighboring cities.
Themig also asked for an update on the suggestion of recycle containers for the parks. One bid is
pricing each container at $16 per month. With ten sites identified, this would be an additional
expense for the City of $160 per month. Staff is still investigating options. Bensman
commented that any expense is notable since there is no cost for the current method of
"recycling" in the parks.
Themig reported on the history brochure project. This will be worked on during September.
8. NEW BUSINESS
Commissioner Cochran said that some residents have asked if anyone has explored the idea of a
pedestrian overpass for the LRT where it crosses County Road 19. Puzak said that the plans for
a stop light at Smithtown Road and County Road 19 should help somewhat for crossing at the

Re:
Recycling at Parks
The cost to have E -Z Recycling containers at the parks would be $16.00 per month, per
container. It would be $160.00 a month for 10 containers (this would cover all parks) and
this would include E -Z Recycling picking up once a week.
The City could purchase 55 gallon containers without lids, paint them and mark them
recycling. The estimated cost would be $15.00, per 55 gallon container. This would be a
one time cost. Public Works would take care of the disposing of recycling cans only. The
budget would not allow for more containers and liners to recycle plastics at this time.
•
There would be 6 containers placed at Freeman Park and one for each of the other parks.
Charlie from Public Works would place the containers were it is appropriate at each of the
parks. go

Park Commission Minutes
• October 13, 1998 Page 10
B. Shoreline Message About Crescent Beach
A caller has requested that the milfoil be cleared from the beach each day and that a covered trash
barrel be added because of bees. Public Works Director Larry Brown reported that the milfoil is
cleared daily. Commissioner Themig asked if the lifeguards could help pick it up and put it in a
barrel. Public Works Director Brown said that there is too great a quantity to do that. This matter
will be left to the judgment of the Public Works department. Public Works Director Brown will
also look into the covered trash can idea.
C. Recycling at the Parks (Further Consideration) ------
Chair Puzak reviewed the history of this issue. The cost is $160 per month. There was discussion
about possible arrangements and months of service. Public Works Director Brown noted that the
money would probably have to come from the Operating Budget. Commissioner Themig stated
that this matter was already resolved at an earlier meeting. Commissioner Bensman thought that
the trash cans with lids would still be a good idea at all parks because of esthetics and the insect
problems. Commissioner Arnst suggested to defer the recycling issue for now and pursue the
`--- Jidded trash cans.
D. Golfing/Frisbee at Freeman (Further Consideration)
This has previously been discussed, but there was no resolution. Administrator Hurm said that he
spoke with the concerned resident this past week and she has not seen golfers lately. Chair Puzak
noted that it was previously decided to invite individuals with suggestions to address the Park
Commission at a meeting. If they do not attend the meeting then it was agreed to leave the matter
alone. Commissioner Themig read the minutes of the July meeting where this matter was
discussed. It will be left alone unless this comes back to the Commission in the future.
Chair Puzak reviewed past discussion on the concept of developing Frisbee Golf in Freeman Park.
The consensus was that it would not work and the idea was dropped. It was agreed that it should
remain out of consideration. There was also a letter from Commissioner Colopoulos expressing his
opposition to the idea of Frisbee Golf which he asked to have attached to these minutes.

SHOREWOOD PARK COMMISSION MINUTES
WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, 1997
page 5
This item was tabled until the next meeting, to allow time for the Commissioners to physically look
at this area in order to offer educated suggestions. •
9. DISCUSSION OF LIQUOR USE AT FREEMAN PARK
Chair Colopoulos said that the Ordinance clearly states that liquor consumption is prohibited on
public property, including parks. An Ordinance amendment will be necessary if a decision to
allow liquor at Freeman Park is recommended to Council.
Additional data from other cities (Excelsior, Victoria, Chanhassen, and Minneapolis and Hennepin
Parks) for liquor permit fees and application information will be supplied to the Commissioners at
the next meeting.
Commissioner Arnst requested information about enforcement from other cities. Questions to pose
to surrounding law enforcement agencies include enforcement of regulations for liquor
consumption, specific places for consumption (at picnic shelter, baseball tournaments, etc.),
liability issues, general comments, and the consequences for violations (misdemeanors, etc.).
Chair Colopoulos noted that the consensus of the Park Commission is to review other policies.
10. DISCUSSION ON MUTT MITTS FOR LRT
Following a discussion, Commissioner Amst suggested that one Mutt Mitt be ordered for the
entrance to Freeman Park from the trail, near the soccer area. Cost would be approximately 5150.
A trash can will need to be placed securely near the Mutt Mitt post. •
This will be on an experimental basis, and if it is deemed to be effective, more Mutt Mitts
dispensers will be ordered.
11. NEW BUSINE
RecvclinQ Can Bin — Commissioner Amst inquired about a garbage can being designated for
aluminum can recycling at the parks. Engineer Brown stated that the cans are retrieved from trash
containers by several individuals on a daily basis. Therefore a need does not exist.
Picnic Benches — Commissioner Arnst inquired if consideration was given to recycled plastic
benches. Engineer Brown stated that replacement parts were less costly and easier to obtain for the
standard benches versus the recycled plastic benches. Also the initial cost for recycled plastic
benches is higher than standard benches.
Overgrown Brush — Commissioner Amst noted that at the intersection of Wedgewood and the LRT
the grass, brush and shrubbery are overgrown and are posing traffic problems. Engineer Brown
noted that a right -of -way dispute exists on the Bache property. He will look into this request.
Freeman Park wooded trail — Chair Colopoulos has had requests to trim and chip the trail in the
backwoods area at Freeman Park. He suggested that tree services provide free wood chips.
Engineer Brown noted that several years ago the City of Chanhassen placed wood chips on their
trail system, and the chips became infested with beetles. The City of Chanhassen had to remove all •
the wood chips. He will research this and report back to the Park Commission.
