2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
A. Park Commission Meeting Minutes of June 10, 2014.
Sawtell moved to approve the minutes of the June 10, 2014 meeting as amended: Under Item 5:
third paragraph, change to read: have we noticed a difference from the change in herbicides;
Item 7, issue about the dog park is that it would be too small. Hartmann seconded the motion.
Motion carried 4-0.
3. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR
There were none.
4. MANOR PARK BOUNDARY INFORMATION
Nielsen stated a perimeter trail in Manor Park was a discussion item during the recent park tour.
He discussed options for trail placement. He noticed it would be tight behind the tennis court.
Mangold stated there are terrain issues adjacent to the pond. He stated it would be a much more
significant project because of topography concerns. Nielsen stated a boardwalk might be a
solution. The question is whether you want to be that close to the pond. If you can’t get around
the tennis court or pond, it would be a short trail but could still be considered.
Mangold stated the original plan was to just carve a path with a lawnmower. Sawtell suggested a
loop through the memorial garden and then come back. Mangold stated there are problems on
both sides of the pond. He didn’t think there would be a quick and simple solution. Nielsen
suggested making the loop shorter. Mangold believed that anything is better than nothing.

PAGE 2 OF
Nielsen stated the idea was to mow it shorter so the trail is identified. Long term, an ag or
limestone trail could be options.
Woodruff stated leaving high vegetation along the pond would discourage geese from coming up
out of the pond. He suggested an option that would avoid problem areas near the tennis court.
Mangold suggested Public Works be given the option to determine the trail based on mowing.
Nielsen stated staff would work with Public Works to determine the trail location along the tot lot
and back to Manor Road.
5.REVIEW INFORMAL SURVEY FOR SOUTHSHORE SKATE PARK
Mangold stated a survey has been prepared for input on the Southshore Skate Park. Nielsen asked for
input on the wording. Dietz suggested changing “into” to “in” in the third line.
Nielsen discussed future plans for the community garden fencing.
Woodruff suggested a “don’t know” option on the survey for those who are not familiar with the park.
Dietz suggested there be an option to keep the park or not.
Sawtell asked when the survey would be going out. Nielsen stated it could possibly make the August
newsletter. If not, it will go out in September.
6.REVIEW MAINTENANCE ITEMS FROM PARK TOURS
Freeman Park
Mangold stated staff has provided a list of maintenance items for each park. Nielsen stated he
would like input on when maintenance items should be scheduled. Commissioners reviewed and
identified the timing of maintenance items by park beginning with Freeman. The baseball fences
will be adjusted as soon as possible.
Nielsen asked if the ball field fence near Eddy Station is something that should be done this year.
If it is a repair item, it could be done within ninety days. Nielsen stated if the poles are okay, the
chain link could be removed, and new materials be added.
Woodruff suggested a 2-3 sentence subscription of each item on the list for the benefit of those
who may read this. Nielsen stated that would be a good idea.
Mangold stated some items may not need to be done immediately, but we are keeping our eyes on
them.
Mangold suggested a column be added labeled “watch”.

Commissioners discussed needed repairs to the park shelter. Adding water to the garden site and
a spigot were moved to the CIP. The drinking fountain at the small concession stand would be a
contractor job as soon as possible. Woodruff noted a hose bib was added to the drinking fountain
and needs to be removed. Nielsen stated the drinking fountain will be replaced within thirty days.
Nielsen stated concrete work is needed. Mangold stated that was needed at the small concession
stand. Nielsen stated he had it down on his list for Eddy Station. Mangold stated it is an item to
keep your eyes on.
Nielsen asked for clarification of the paved trail that needs work. Commissioners noted the
location. Nielsen stated it would be done in conjunction with the Shorewood Oaks trail project.
Mangold suggested continue to watch asphalt trail and concrete work be added to the “watch”
list.
Cathcart Park
Commissioners discussed Cathcart Park items.
Nielsen suggested pulling material from the Master Plan and bring it to the next meeting for
discussion.
Mangold stated the parking on Cathcart continues to be an issue. He stated it has been up to
schedulers to stagger games to address parking issues. Mangold stated we should continue with
staggered scheduling to address the issues with parking. Nielsen suggested having “no parking on
grass” signs as an option. Nielsen suggested the ball field people send out notices to their
participants.
Commissioners discussed lighting replacement. Mangold stated that should be on the watch list.
Commissioners will also add drainage issues to the watch list.
Commissioners and staff discussed herbicide treatment and native plantings throughout the city.
Cleanup around the tennis court and playground at Cathcart needs to be done within the next
thirty days.
Crescent Beach
Commissioners discussed Crescent Beach and need for raking and cleaning. Shorewood and
Tonka Bay have alternating weeks for maintenance.
Gideons Glen
PARK COMMISSION MINUTES
TUESDAY, JULY 8, 2014

PAGE 4 OF
Commissioners discussed Gideons Glen. The Watershed District doesn’t want to go ahead with
the parking lot until the erosion issue is resolved which is an annual issue. Nielsen stated staff will
be meeting with the Watershed soon to discuss the issue.
Commissioners discussed the parking lot and signage and getting approval for signage. Woodruff
recalled there were no objections to the dollars but to the timing. The Council held off approval.
Nielsen stated all three items will be moved to ninety days.
Badger Park
Commissioners discussed Badger Park maintenance. Mangold asked for an update on the rustic
crossing. Nielsen stated staff is working on plans and drainage calculations. Information would
be provided in the near future. Nielsen believed it should be completed this year, and a box
culvert be constructed rather than a bridge.
Commissioners discussed the playground equipment and needed repairs. Nielsen believed it
should be repaired as soon as possible. He stated he would look for grant money for tennis court
repairs and move it the CIP item list. Mangold believed this is also the year for tennis court
resurfacing.
Mangold stated he would like to add the removal of dead heads in Manor Park. Nielsen stated an
estimate is being redone for the work. He asked if the estimate should be brought to the Park
Commission prior to Council approval. Mangold stated he didn’t think that would be necessary.
Manor Park
Commissioners discussed drain tile improvements and volleyball court maintenance. Mangold
noted the Park Rules sign needs to be fixed/replaced. He stated the rain garden on the west side
should be a CIP item. Nielsen stated it may be possible to get Metro Blooms to help out with a
project to correct drainage issues. Woodruff suggested Engineering review drainage from the
roof.
Skate Park
Mangold asked if Public Works or a contractor would be replacing panels on the skate structure.
Nielsen stated Public Works would do it regardless of the survey results. Woodruff noted the
materials to repair skate structures are fairly expensive unless there is a safety issue. Sawtell
stated it is a definite safety issue. Nielsen stated it would be identified as a ninety day project.
Mangold asked if weeds in cracks would be removed. Nielsen stated there is a contractor for this
project. Mangold suggested it be a thirty day project.
PARK COMMISSION MINUTES

Commissioners discussed the signage that states there is video surveillance at the park. They
were concerned about what would happen if something bad happens there and there isn’t any
surveillance. Woodruff believed it is something the city attorney should review as he knows there
is not surveillance.
The dog park would be moved to the CIP.
Dietz asked if approving the garden size should also be included on the list. Nielsen stated it
would be turned in the fall. He explained how the fence can be expanded once the market is
determined.
Silverwood Park
Nielsen stated the Eagle Scout is not removing the large ash tree. The removal will be a contract
item. The Eagle Scout is adding the new bench in the next week or so.
Commissioners discussed the retaining wall adjacent to the basketball court. Nielsen stated it
would be identified as a ninety-day project. He thought Public Works might be able to repair the
wall.
Christmas Lake
Mangold stated new signs are needed. Nielsen stated they are the AIS signs. Some are faded out.
Signs are available and just need to be replaced.
Commissioners discussed the dock replacement. Nielsen stated it is not in bad condition.
Woodruff discussed the disputed ownership. The dock would be added under the long term CIP.
All Parks
Commissioners discussed tree replacement, buckthorn removal, and locking memo boards.
Mangold suggested completion dates be listed rather than checkmarks.
Nielsen discussed the park concept plans and need for input. He stated the master plans for
Freeman and Badger will be brought back to the next meeting for review.
7.MUSIC IN THE PARK – MOVE TO FREEMAN

Cathcart Park is located in the City of Chaska at the southwest Shorewood border. The Park is heavily
used for little league baseball in the summer and for hockey and free skating in the winter. Sewer
service is not available at this site so rest room facilities with portable toilets will need to be provided.
There is a parking deficiency at this site during little league games. At the kickoff meeting it was stated
that major reconfiguration of spaces would be acceptable; provided that the general open space
character of the park and the existing recreation facilities were provided with the new layout. In
addition, the shelterbelt along the southern portion of the park should be retained.
Conee t Plan Review
Two concepts were developed and presented at the Park Commission Meetings.
Concept A retained the parking (with increased capacity) and little league field in their current locations,
shifted hockey to the west to provide more parking, a lawn area for free skating beyond the little league
field, added an additional tennis court, provided court games between hockey and tennis; and worked
picnicking, play equipment, community gardens, and lawn games into the southern portion of the site.
Concept i3 shifted parking (with increased capacity) to the east edge of the park along Church Street and
rearranged the little league field and free skate area. The layout of the remaining park components was
similar to Concept A.
Following review of the concept plans, the Park commission recommended the general layout of
Concept A with several modifications:
F Shift the hockey rink to the south towards the tennis courts and eliminate the designated court
games area.
a Provide basketball in the hockey rink area in the summertime.
e Reconfigure the parking in a free flowing alignment and extend into the space north of the
hockey rink.
0 Provide screening of the community gardens from residents to the south.
a Arrange the community gardens into pods to provide spaces in between for resident access to
the park.
Final Master Plan Summary
The Cathcart Park Master Plan provides the following park components:
a Little league baseball field in its current location.
6 Realigned increased capacity parking for 50 cars.
6 Combination hockey rink /basketball court facility.

Badger Park, located adjacent to the Shorewood City Hall, is somewhat centrally located within the City.
It currently provides facilities for football, a warming house for hockey and free skating, play equipment,
and two tennis courts. It was determined during the initial kickoff meeting that the football field should
remain in this park due to recent investments in the field and lighting system, and the high use and
popularity of this facility. Kickoff meeting attendees indicated that there could potentially be more
flexibility in the retention or reconfiguration of the other park facilities. The warming shelter needs
maintenance or replacement if skating remains in this park.
The Park Commission also noted that a key issue for Badger Park is connecting the Park to the City Hall,
including physical connections as well as creating a unifying aesthetic between the park and City Hall.
Concept Plan Review
Two concepts were developed and presented at the Park Commission Meetings.
Concept A retained all the major recreation components in their current locations (football, hockey and
tennis), and focused on developing the spaces in between and adjacent to the major components to
provide trails, walks, and spaces for gathering and social interaction.
Concept B retained the football field in its current location, but rearranged the rest of the park to
provide a strong connection to the adjacent City Hall and created a civic campus that could facilitate
community gathering and uses for more passive recreation activities than currently exist in the primarily
active recreation venues of the existing park. A "Village Green" was developed in the area currently
occupied by the tennis courts to provide a more open and inviting entrance to the park from the City
Hall. The tennis courts and play equipment were moved to new locations, a new picnic /warming shelter
was proposed, with free skating indicated in the Village Green area. Hockey was deleted from the
recreation facilities offered at this site. Trails are included to provide a looped walking trail connecting
the active and passive recreation areas of the park.
The Park Commission recommended Concept B with modifications including removal of skating entirely
from this site and providing the hockey and free skating at Freeman Park. The warming shelter would
also be removed and a picnic shelter /restroom provided at Badger Park. The plaza area creates a strong
connection between the City Hall and Badger Park. The concept includes signage near the City Hall entry
that provides information about the park as well as City Hall. It also includes creation of a buffer
between the park and adjacent businesses to the north, as recommended by the Park Commission.
Final Master Plan Summary
The Badger Park Master Plan provides a variety of spaces and recreation facilities that offer
opportunities for both active and passive recreation. A primary feature of the design is a "Village Green"
City of Shorevmod Page 4 14358.000
Parks Master Plan Update
at the City Hall side of the marl: that can serve as a gathering space €or the eornmunity and a front yard
for both the park and City Hall. The Park Master Plan includes the following components:
A "Village Green" that visually connects the City Hall to the Park and provides opportunity for a
community gathering area.
Concrete and decorative paver walkways /plaza areas under a colonnade of shade trees to
define the Village Green space.
L Benches looking into the Village Green from the surrounding walk /plaza areas encourage
socializing and leisure activities.
* A picnic shelter with restrooms forms a focal point on axis at the east end of the Village Green
and incorporates the natural stone of City Hall to visually tie the design together.
A sculpture and /or water feature is shown opposite the shelter on axis at the west end of the
Village Green and may also incorporate the City Hall stone into its design.
A picnic area is provided just east of the picnic shelter /restrooms.
• Play equipment is located just to the east of the picnic area.
• Two tennis courts north of the picnic and play equipment areas.
• Existing, lighted football field will remain in its current location.
• Bituminous paths to connect spaces and help define different park use areas.
• Pond viewing platform with a bench for observing wildlife.
• Boardwalk and woodchip trail to provide a varied walking experience and access to the more
natural areas of the park.
• Use of tree plantings to define the various park activity areas.
• Common design entrance signs at entrance to park /City Hall campus.
• landscaping along north side of property to provide a green screen between the park and the
businesses to the north.

MEMORANDUM
I
TO: Park Commission
FROM: Brad Nielsen
DATE: 15 August 2014
RE: Badger Park — "Concept 1.5"
FILE NO. Parks (Badger)
i
Attached is a third concept plan (1.5)for Badger Field. It is a revision to Concept 1. The following
changes are highlighted:
• The parking lot has been redesigned to create a turn - around south of the canopy for the
r
SSCC. This makes it possible for traffic to circulate without having to go through the
canopy area. The result is a reduction in the number of parking spaces, fifteen fewer than
Concept 1 and ten fewer than Concept 2.
• A safety fence is proposed for the north end of the ball field to keep balls from going into
the parking area and walkway. This fence may be as tall as 12 feet.
• The plan includes an estimate of costs if the project were to be phased.

Costs will need to be refined as the design progresses with greater detail, higher level of basemapping and geotechnical
investigations.
Construction efficiencies will be lost by dividing the project into numerous phases. Although the estimates take this into
consideration, the pricing is based on 2014 costs. Inflation and other economic changes will require the costs to be adjusted in
the future.
Estimate does not include costs of new electrical service to the park. This will be requested from Xcel Energey under separate
future correspondence.

RE: Park Tours Maintenance Follow -Up
FILE NO. Admin (Parks)
Attached is the revised and updated "To Do" list that resulted from this year's park tours. A few
comments are offered:
Freeman Park
• The fascia for the picnic shelter will be done next week, according to the contractor that did
the roof for the building. He has not been paid to -date.
• There are two issues relative to paving the trail between the fields: 1)whatever work is done
will be done in conjunction with a proposed grading and drainage plan for Freeman Park
and likely will occur in 2015; and 2)is pavement a good idea where players walk with spikes
on?
Crescent Beach , The notice regarding e -coli was sent out immediately after the sewage release.
The sand is raked regularly.
Gideon Glen The silt fence cannot be removed until the erosion problem has been corrected.
Engineers and the MCWD continue working on the solution for the erosion. Once that is done, the
parking lot can be constructed. The street contractor working on Valleywood Lane is willing to do
the work upon approval by the MCWD. Once the parking lot is constructed, the sign can be
constructed. The City Engineer has been advised by copy of this memo that this item should be
done this year.
Manor Park
• Three items on this list are being combined into one project. The engineer advises us that
the area between the parking lot and the pond is insufficient in depth to construct a rain
garden. Instead he suggests installing drain tile on the west side of the shelter building, into
which the gutter leads from the building will drain. The drain tile may have some sort of
infiltration material to handle runoff from the parking lot. Finally, instead of installing drain
tile from the low, wet area north of the shelter, the area will be filled and graded to drain
positivelytoward the pond.

Re: 2014 Park Maintenance
15 August 2014
• Maintenance personnel have advised us that they already set the mower down as far as they
can on the entire park. Any shorter and they would be down to dirt. We may have to
discuss another option relative to a perimeter trail.
• Weed control (on all City property) has become somewhat of an issue. Staff will be seeking
further direction on the use of chemicals from the City Council.
Skate Park The Public Works Director advises us that approximately 18 panels on the equipment
need to be replaced at over $300 per panel. Staff suggests putting this on hold until after the
informal survey regarding the future of the park has been discussed. With regard to the faux
surveillance sign at the park, the City Attorney has advised us that no one can expect to rely on the
sign or the surveillance, if it were available. In other words, it is not a legal issue.
