Re: Badger Park Improvements Plans
Attachments: Approved Plan (Concept 1.5) for Badger Park
Plans for the Parking Lot reconstruction of Badger Park (70 Percent Completion)
Requested Action: Review the plans and determine if they are consistent with the Approved Badger
Park Plan (Concept 1.5)
Background: Attached is the plan set for the Badger Park parking lot reconstruction and related
improvements. This phase of the plan also includes removing the warming house and storage shed.
The proposed parking lot reconstruction would include three fewer parking spaces due to requirements
of handicapped access lanes in three areas. The plans also show a rain garden/infiltration basin
between the central parking area and the sidewalks that will function both to increase storm water
infiltration on-site and to provide a buffer between parked vehicles and pedestrians.
The plans are at 70 percent completion, meaning that not all aspects of the design are complete. Staff is
continuing to work on some details, including:
Small clean-ups on the plan, for example, revising the sidewalk width to six feet instead of the
10 feet shown
Reviewing alternatives for slope stabilization on the north side of the parking lot where the
slopes are steep
Relocating the electrical service needed for the field lights
Staff are also considering whether this may be an advantageous time to complete pond maintenance (to
be paid for from the stormwater utility fund, not the Badger Park budget).
The Parks Commission and City Council may also wish to consider either a mill-and-overlay or seal
coating for the existing parking lot to provide a consistent aesthetic surface.
Staff Recommendation: Staff finds that the proposed plans are consistent with the concept, even with
the slight reduction in parking spaces.
Timeline/Next Steps: Subject to a favorable recommendation from the Parks Commission, the plan
would be to forward the project to the City Council on their July 10, 2017 meeting.
