PARK TOUR & COMMISSION MEETING SHOREWOOD CITY HALL
TUESDAY, MAY 10, 2011 7:00 P.M.
MINUTES
PARK TOUR
The Commission met at City Hall at approximately 5:45pm and walked over to Badger Park.
BADGER PARK:
Anderson showed the Commission the condition of the exterior and interior of the warming house
reviewing the work needed to rehab the facility. Brown and Anderson suggested the Commission
make observations to help them determine the best route to pursue for this space, be it either,
replacing boards, painting the exterior or interior, pulling off the lean-to shed, renovate the entire
building similar to Manor Park or do nothing.
FREEMAN PARK:
Anderson pointed out that new park sign bases indicating that the cabinets were due to be
installed in the coming weeks.
The Commission suggested the pin locations be marked to delineate the pitching rubber distances
at the softball fields.
The parking lot was tremendously rutted due to the incessant rain.
As the Commission walked the trail near the wetland stormwater retention area, Brown explained
how the runoff and stormwater issues are handled thru this ‘feature’. In poor condition, Brown
noted that the City had WSB lay out a wetland enhancement project a handful of years ago to
improve water quality. Anderson and Brown suggested the Commission consider packaging a
wetland restoration, buckthorn removal, and parking lot project together and presenting it to the
watershed district to consider a partnership.
Kjolhaug asked whether the watershed had approached the City about problems in the area and
suggested that the watershed might be interested in seeing a proposal to decide whether they
might wish to get involved in a project.
Hotvet reminded the Commission that the watershed director had come to present to the Council
and seemed very interested in some real partnerships.
Anderson showed the commission what replacement slides and additions would be proposed on
the later agenda for the south end tot lot.

CATHCART PARK:
Anderson showed the proposed swing set replacement site and space for consideration by the
Commission on its later Agenda. The Commissioners liked the location as proposed near the tot
lot and paved trail leading to the play area.
CRESCENT BEACH:
Brown explained the shared use and maintenance of Crescent beach to the Commissioners.
1.CONVENE PARK COMMISSION MEETING
The Commission adjourned its park tour to its regular meeting at 7:38pm.
A.Roll Call
Present:Chair Quinlan; Commissioners Robb, Swaggert, Kjolhaug, and Hartmann;
City Council liaison Hotvet; Park Coordinator Anderson; Public Works
Director; and City Council member Saikel for the tour.
Absent: Commissioners Edmondson and Trent.
B.Review Agenda
Swaggert moved, Robb seconded, approving the Agenda as submitted. Motion passed 5/0.
2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
A. Park Commission Meeting Minutes of April 12, 2011
Robb moved, Hartmann seconded, approving the Minutes of April 12, 2011, as presented.
Motion passed 5/0.
3. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR
There were none.
4. REVIEW/DISCUSS PARK TOURS
The Commission identified several items within each park for consideration.
Badger Park: Will be discussed as an action item on the agenda.
Freeman Park: As mentioned, mark the pitching rubbers with bristles for the distances.
The Commission encouraged staff to pursue grants with the watershed to
improve the wetland area and invite the watershed representative to come speak
with the Commission about potential partnerships. Brown indicated that staff
could arrive at a conceptual plan for the parking lot and water quality area by
PARK COMMISSION MINUTES
TUESDAY, MAY 10, 2011
PAGE 3 OF 6
breaking the previous WSB project into stages, though some of the technical
work would have to be contracted.
Cathcart Park: As parking continues to be an issue, the commission asked staff to make contact
with the City of Chanhassen to ask them to remove the ‘no parking’ signs on the
street provided it does not interfere with emergency access.
Crescent Beach: The Commission agreed this was a nice asset and liked the kayaking based from
the site as part of Friday programming.
Chair Quinlan suggested the Commission consider adding a second meeting in June to tour parks
in other cities.
Swaggert stated that he would want to make those park visits very intentional to see specific
features.
Anderson indicated that she would identify a handful of parks which feature Frisbee golf, ‘exercise
pieces’, hard surfaced rinks, and other interesting features and bring those suggestions back to the
next meeting for feedback prior to the tour. Once chosen, staff could contact those communities
and invite their park reps or staff to meet us on site.
5. REVIEW BADGER PARK REHAB
Anderson reviewed the rehab options and estimates for the Commission and encouraged them to
make one of four recommendations to direct staff as to how they’d like to proceed – choose from
the list of rehab items, paint and patch the exterior, direct staff to pursue grants and partners, or
do nothing.
Chair Quinlan asked whether the Commission wanted more from this facility than what is
currently offered. In contrast to what ‘must’ be done as to what the Commission might envision
for this park.
Hartmann suggested staff contact the user groups that call Badger Park home to ask what they’d
like from the facility.
Anderson noted that football, lacrosse, and the community center make use of the park. She
indicated that other picnic shelters are rented much of the summer.
Robb noted that it wasn’t such a bad structure and questioned why it couldn’t be refurbished as it
is serving its purpose now.
Anderson reiterated that, similar to Manor Park, the Commission could consider a rehab project
which would provide for a shelter, accessible bathrooms set on a timer, and rehab the facility as
well as improve other spaces within the park.
Kjolhaug stated he was not sure how much added use there would be of the facility, though
outdoor accessible bathrooms would be a good feature.
PARK COMMISSION MINUTES
TUESDAY, MAY 10, 2011
PAGE 4 OF 6
Robb maintained that Badger Park is not a family park and does not have need for a shelter.
Anderson pointed out that many people use the playground, especially when sports are scheduled
and the Community Center is locked. She reminded the Commission that it was once one of their
goals to place a shelter at each of their parks.
Chair Quinlan stated it would be nice to have a covered shelter and a place for bathrooms. He
suggested the Commission consider a remodel.
Brown interjected that, obviously, the Commission was struggling with whether to invest in the
rehab or not. He suggested the Commission allow staff time to contact the organizations to
determine whether they wish to invest in or partner in a modified use.
Anderson stated that, in fact, they may wish to add items we haven’t even thought of, such as a
concessions operation. Anderson stated that she would contact the user groups and ask to meet
or discuss the park further.
6. REVIEW CATHCART PARK SWING SET REPLACEMENT
ESTIMATES AND MAKE RECOMMENDAITON TO CITY COUNCIL
Anderson explained that the replacement swing set had been discussed for several years, though
the CIP allocated $7500 for the new swing set in 2011. Anderson pointed out that, while the
equipment meets the proposed budget, she was directed to obtain bids for the entire purchase,
installation, and execution of the project at Cathcart Park by the outside contractors. In an effort
to alleviate some of the pressure placed upon Public Works staff, the manufacturers provided
estimates that included all but some minor excavation prep work at the site. Going forward,
Anderson acknowledged that these additional costs may have a significant impact on what was
originally allocated in the CIP budget. As presented, the two estimates include two-bay swings
sets with belt, tot, and accessible swings, as well as, a separate tire swing bay, curbing, wood fiber
fill, and installation.
Anderson suggested the Commission recommend to the City Council that the award be given to
Midwest Playscapes in the amount of $12,702.49.
Chair Quinlan asked how building these unexpected costs into the park CIP would impact our
budgets and whether parks had been singled out as a department.
Brown stated that due to public mandates, stormwater and roadway issues, public works staff
cannot accomplish all of these tasks at the same time. At a staff head level it was decided that
public works must focus its attention on patching roads, which is a huge issue and eats up a great
deal of time, and that it can’t work on parks as a priority.
Robb asked what the net impact was whether the Commission has public works staff do the work
or we contract it out.
PARK COMMISSION MINUTES
TUESDAY, MAY 10, 2011
PAGE 5 OF 6
Brown stated that he had not reviewed the costs. He maintained that although the City Council
did not mandate this, the department heads did. He stated that the Commission could still make a
recommendation to the City Council directing public works to assist with the install.
Robb maintained that, either way, the work must be done. This swing set has been on the long
term plan for many years and is a safety hazard.
Robb moved, Hartmann seconded, to recommend to the City Council that they award the
swing set installation to Midwest Playscapes in the amount of $12,702.49 and take into
account whether directing public works staff to assist in some way in an effort to bring the
price down is valuable. Motion passed 5/0.
7. REVIEW FREEMAN PARK ESTIMATE FOR REPLACEMENT/ADDITION OF
PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT FOR SOUTH PLAYGROUND AND MAKE A
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL
Anderson reviewed the proposed project for three replacement slides and an additional ‘whirl’ tot
piece with timber surround previously considered by the Commission last year but due to
budgetary restraints had been delayed. Anderson pointed out that she contacted public works to
determine whether this was a project they would be able to tackle or whether staff should recruit
volunteers to perform the install. Public Works Director Brown stated that he felt his staff would
prefer to perform the install rather than direct volunteers on such a small project.
Swaggert asked whether public works would be able to perform the install.
Brown indicated that his staff would fit it in somewhere.
Swaggert moved, Kjolhaug seconded, recommending that City Council accept the quote by
Mn/Wi Playgrounds in the amount of $14,905.36 for the three replacement slides and
whirl, acknowledging that public works staff will complete the prep work and installation.
Motion passed 5/0.
8. STAFF AND LIAISON REPORTS/UPDATES
A.City Council
Hotvet reported that an eagle scout project was shared with the council last night.
Anderson expanded on the explanation, stating that staff, including her, Joe Pazandak, and Brian
Heck, had been talking with a potential eagle scout about a project at the Southshore Community
Center. He proposed an ambitious project including steps with railings that lead to the small
bridge over the creek, reinforcing some of the bridge posts, and completing a trail with benches in
a loop around the wooded area.
Hotvet indicated that the Council gave him permission to proceed but encouraged him to find
funding sources for the proposed $3200 project, such as the rotary, chamber, SSSP, and others to
PARK COMMISSION MINUTES
TUESDAY, MAY 10, 2011
PAGE 6 OF 6
assist with the funding. The Council also discussed allocating any contribution to the project from
the Park budget since this is park land.
Robb pointed out that, as part of its long term plan, the Park Commission designated a trail
around Badger Park with benches and a small bridge for seniors and other to enjoy. Robb stated
that he found this to be in line with those plans.
B.Park Commission
Anderson reminded the Commission about the Step To It Challenge program and encouraged
them to participate. She distributed incentives from Hennepin County to those who joined.
C.Staff
th
The Joint Park Commission Meeting with other Cities is slated for May 17 and 7pm at the
Southshore Community Center.
D.Trails Committee

the City based on criteria, proximity to schools, residential buy-in, and what could feasibly be
accomplished within 3-5 years. The highest priority went to County Road 19 to the trail,
Smithtown Road from Victoria to Minnewashta School, Galpin Road to County Road 7, and
Strawberry Lane to the school.

Re: DISCUSS/RECOMM ENDATION TO CITY COUNCILREGARDING
ADDING GIDEON GLEN TO THE PARK & RECREATION DEPARTMENT
Chair Quinlan asked staff to add the Gideon Glen conservation open space to the Agenda for discussion of
whether this interpretive passive space should be rolled into the park system. As an open space, Quinlan and
Anderson felt it could fill a niche not met within the overall Shorewood Park system and potentially provide
an added educational element to park programming.
Staff met with Planning Director Nielsen to investigate the history behind the partnership with the MCWD
and learned that, at the time of its development, the City and Park Commission had purposely decided to
keep it a separate entity to ensure it be preserved as a passive interpretive open space with very limited
access. According to the 2009 Agreement between the City and MCWD (attached), the MCWD will
continue to maintain the Glen area and plantings; whereas, the City is responsible for the maintenance of the
trail, interpretive kiosks, and pond.
The Park Commission should discuss the possibility, liability, of rolling the open space into the overall park
system and make a recommendation to the City Council. The City Council will be discussing the installation
of a sign for Gideon Glen, as part of the original agreement, at its 6/13/11 meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The Park Commission should discuss and either recommend to the City Council they roll the Gideon
Glen open space into the Park and Recreation system, once the City has fulfilled its obligation to
install a sign, or leave as the stand alone amenity it is.

AGREEMENT
1. This Agreement concerns the areas in Gideon Glen as delineated on Exhibit A,
attached hereto and incorporated herein.
2. The District, at its cost, will prepare a vegetation management plan for the subject
areas. The District and the City will cooperate in the District’s preparation of the plan.
3. On City and District approval of the plan, the District, at its cost, will assume
responsibility for vegetation management in the subject areas in accordance with the
plan. In its discretion, the District may enter into contracts and make other arrangements
within its authority to carry out its responsibilities.
4. The District will obtain permits and approvals from the City as necessary to implement
work under the vegetation management plan, but will not be subject to permit fees. The
City will cooperate in processing needed permits and approvals. The City, as landowner,
will cooperate as necessary in the District’s obtaining of other permits and approvals as
may be required to implement the plan.
5. The City will provide access and staging areas that are needed and reasonably
convenient for any District management activity. Before performing any activity that
may disrupt traffic or disturb adjacent lands or public use, the District will coordinate
with the City to minimize these disruptions and disturbances in a way that does not
substantially increase the cost of the work. The City will require grounds protection from
heavy vehicles. The District must supply protection and in all cases will be responsible
for removal of protection and restoration of the grounds.
6. The City will be responsible, at its cost, to notify the public of management activity to
the extent the City and the District agree it is useful and appropriate to do so. The
MCWD will provide at least two weeks’ notice to the City prior to the commencement of
any scheduled maintenance. Any maintenance burning will be consistent with the
procedures contained in City policies.
7. The District’s responsibilities under this Agreement extend only to the vegetation

landscaping outside of these areas and is not responsible for the maintenance of any
structures or trails. The City retains all responsibilities associated with its role as
landowner and land manager,. includingThe City shall be responsible for maintenance, at
its own cost, of the retention pond and grit chamber. The City will inspect the facilities at
least annually. Pond function will be considered inadequate if sediment accumulation
has decreased the wet storage volume by 50 %. The City will restore the basin to its
original design elevations and dimensions within one year of the inspection date. The
City will provide ongoing maintenance of interpretive trails, overlook platforms,
informational structures, and other park facilities. The City will avoid any activity in the

acts as the agent or representative of the other. Each party shall indemnify, defend and
hold harmless the other party, its officers, employees, agents and representatives from
any and all actions, costs, damages and liabilities of any nature to the degree they are the
result of any action or inaction that is the basis for the first party's liability in law or
equity. Nothing in this Agreement creates any rights in any third party; waives any
defense, immunity or liability limit either party may have with respect to third parties; or
otherwise waives any provision of Minnesota Statutes chapter 466, as it may be amended
or recodified.
10. This Agreement is effective when it has been fully executed by both parties, and will
remain in effect until terminated in writing by agreement of both parties or unilaterally by
either party on 90 days’ written notice. The Agreement may be amended only by a
writing executed by both parties.
11. The failure of either party to insist on the strict performance by the other party of any
obligation or to exert a right under this Agreement does not waive the party’s right in the
future to do so. A waiver on one or more occasion of any obligation or right under the
Agreement will not be construed to waive any subsequent obligation or right.
12. All communications under this Agreement shall be directed to the District
Technician, on behalf of the District, and the Planner, on behalf of the City, except as
either otherwise may provide in writing.

Re: DISCUSS PROS/CONS OF MOVING THE SSCC (SOUTHSHORE COMMUNITY
CENTER) TO THE PARK AND RECREATION UMBRELLA
Director Anderson met with Shorewood staff recently to discuss future programming and marketing for the
Southshore Community Center. Although praised by Council at their May meeting for a successful 2010,
Anderson and staff believe an opportunity exists to further the SSCC initiatives in coordination with overall
park programming and marketing.
Although operations and budgets are and should continue to be handled separately, Anderson and staff
recognize the opportunity to streamline some of the marketing, programming, and specific operations by
rolling the SSCC under the Park and Recreation umbrella. As a park entity, the SSCC could benefit from the
relationship with the Shorewood Parks foundation, by having an avenue to apply for and receive grants. In
addition, by integrating the programming component with the Park Commission, the SSCC could provide an
additional location to host programs, events, and year round activities.
For instance, the Fun Friday programs could continue year round with a handful of programs scheduled at
the SSCC, as well as, in the parks. People will begin to associate the Center with Shorewood parks and
marketing efforts could be combined.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The Park Commission should discuss the possibility of rolling the programming and marketing
components of the SSCC under the Park & Recreation arm of the Park system and make a
recommendation to the City Council to determine next steps, or whether formal action is required.

Re: Badger Park Warming House Rehab Recommendation
As a follow-up to the Park Commission discussion on May 10, 2011, Coordinator Anderson contacted the
organized users of Badger Park facilities to obtain their suggestions ir wish lists with regard to a remodel
project for the warming house structure and/or the park.
Anderson spoke with the Tonka Football Assoc, Lacrosse Assoc, left a voicemail for the Hockey
association, and had an interesting conversation with Dan Carlson of Carlson Tennis;
The Football Association – indicated that they would support a remodel project and would desire more
indoor storage space protected from the elements. They would prefer indoor bathrooms and would likely
support an application for the Hennepin County grant (though unlikely financially). They did not need a
concession operation.
The Lacrosse Assoc – indicated that they, too, would support additional storage space and indoor
bathrooms, and would also likely partner if it meant we could obtain grant funding. Do not need
concessions.
Hockey Association – left a voicemail with representative, did not hear back who to pursue the question
with further in time for this memo.
Dan Carlson of Carlson Tennis – offered the most interesting ideas to investigate. Anderson and Carlson met
at the tennis courts and brainstormed the concept of creating a ‘tennis complex’. In essence, hard surfacing
the rink and painting lines to create 3-4 smaller courts running side to side to allow for a larger number of
youth tennis programs throughout the summer. He, too, preferred indoor storage space and bathrooms.
Carlson is speaking with USTA to determine how or if they would consider partnering with the city to
provide grant funding for a project as well.
#7
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Given the collection of feedback obtained from the end users, the Park Commission should direct
staff to go back and draw up plans at a staff level, similar to what was done for Manor Park warming
house to include storage space for football, tennis, lacrosse, and hockey, indoor bathrooms, and
consider the replacement of the playground equipment, synthetic hockey boards; with the intent
that the City apply using these partners for the Hennepin County Youth Sports Grant and USTA
grants and bring back these ideas at the next Park Commission meeting for comment.
Or, the Park Commission may consider the previous options listed below and make a
recommendation from the original options:
Originally, $5,000 was allocated for the exterior facelift for the warming house. Since that time and based on
observations and suggestions from staff, there are a number of priorities that the Park Commission should
consider before moving forward. Staff proposes several options or line items below for your consideration:
1)Exterior Paint - powerwash/prep, scraping, sanding, filling, @ $4500.00
two coats of solid color stain, trim, doors, and windows
with labor and materials
2)Interior Paint – prep, sanding, fill, two coats of solid color @ $4500.00
Stain, ceiling, trusses, and walls
3)Removal of Paving between building and parking spaces. @ $7,500.00
Replace soil with Class 5 and compact to 4’ depth, replace soil
with sand correct drainage. NOT INCLUDING CURB
REPLACEMENT OR PARKING LOT REPAIR
4)Stoop for Door @ $2,250.00
5)Curb Replacement and Parking Lot Repair, cement work @ 10,000.00
The Park Commission should prioritize their wishes to determine which, if any, of the above projects they
wish to pursue.
