Dire direction on what ed the motion. 5755 COUNTRY CLUB RD SHOREWOOD CITY HALL 7:OOP.M. and Barr; City Planner 2017 meeting as written. at what the options are for the building structure and design -built versus pre- fabricated buildings. She asked for . like. The Commission generally agreled that they would like the Badger Park building to have the following: 1. Storage: Storage area should be large enough to accommodate lacrosse equipment that was part of the agreement as well as city equipment needed for field maintenance. 2. Restrooms: The restrooms should be available all year so winter events can be hosted in the park. If the cost is too high for winter use now, they would like to make sure that heat could be added in the future. Two restrooms are adequate and unisex is fine. 3. Shelter: A covered picnic area with room for four or five picnic tables would be large enough. This area should be connected to the building rather than a freestanding structure. A few tables in the sun would also be requested. PARK COMMISSION MINUTES TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2017 PAGE20F3 Building orientation and location were discussed. There was general agreement that the building should be oriented north- south, but not in the middle of a walking pathway as shown on the concept plan. They suggested it might be better to place it south into the elementary playground area with storage doors opening toward the lacrosse area. Director Darling pointed out that footings and therefore location will also depend on soil structure. Playground Equipment: The commission generally agreed that the focus for the playground equipment should be on one play area and geared toward 5to12 year olds. They would like a traditional playground set: swings, slide and a climbing feature along with an imaginative play feature, like a boat or tree house over more active, challenge courses. They would like a new swing set to replace the existing galvanized set. Adult equipment may be considered in the future along the trail, but not within the playground area. Director Darling discussed two grants that have deadlines of November 3, 2017 and end of the year. Equipment over $100,000 will need to be bid out. Director Darling inquired what type of playground surface is preferred. General agreement was for wood chips enclosed by a concrete curb. Chair Mangold asked if a drinking fountain should be included. The commissioners felt that it should be included and they would prefer one with a bottle filler. 5. OLD BUSINESS A. Update on Badger Park Parki Director Darling gave the update that we are still on track with having the parking lot paved the second week of November. The final paving may be in the sprin --, B. Memorial Park Benches One type of memorial park bench has been ordered in, the past, but it is no longer available. The proposed bench is similar to the color and style of the ones that are currently in the parks. The Commission prefers a plaque on the bench instead of the engraved option. C. Time Line of Freeman Park Ice Rink Director Darling stated that lights have been installed. Electrical work is in progress. The warming house interior panels are finished and, installation will be around the first of November. Public Works Director, Larry Brown, is'still confident that they can get the project done, and it can occur after frost. Vassar commented that the furnac,& and lights need to be tested before we announce that the rink is open. D. Freeman Park Trails Director Darling explained that a trail overlay project includes placing new bituminous over the trails, but it could include patching if there are rough spots. That project is scheduled for 2020. Chair Mangold asked how trail maintenance is budgeted. Barr asked for trails to be included in the park tours next year. PARK COMMISSION MINUTES TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10,2017 PAGE30F3 E. CIP Update Director Darling stated that Council had generally agreed with the Park Commission's priority recommendations at the last council meeting. 6. STAFF AND LIAISON REPORTS /UPDATES A. City Council Director Darling stated that trails were discussed at last night's council work session. They will be focusing on feasibility studies for three trails: 1. Yellowstone —completing the link between Country Club Trail, and Lake Linden 2. Strawberry Lane — providing a safe route to Minnewashta Elementary School 3. Mill Street - Chair Mangold inquired if a feasibility study was completed on Mill Street. Director Darling answered that it would need to be restudied. The feasibility studies will provide cost estimates so Gorham will attend the next Parks F Director Darling will notify the Commis County grant. Barr moved, Vassar s 8:52 p.m. Motion carri to budget. to submit the Hennepin of October 10, 2017 at CITY OF SHOREWOOD 5755 Country Club Road • Shorewood, Minnesota 55331 •952- 960 -7900 Fax: 952- 474 -0128 • www.ci.shorewood.mmus • cityha11 @ci.shorewood.mn.us To: Parks Commission From: Marie Darling, Planning Director Reviewed by: Twila Grout, Park & Rec. Coordinator Date: December 12, 2017 Re: Badger Park Playground and Public Open House Badger Park Playground Area Improvements: Budget: $375,000 CIP timeframe: 2018 I've found three playgrounds along the theme of a pirate ship. All three have pluses and minuses and different requirements for space. Please direct me to the type of playground that most consistently matches your vision for the park. Graphics are attached. Pirate Ship 1— concrete placemaker: This ship is the most expensive at over $70,000, but is a place -maker for the park and not easily forgotten. It has two slides and an access area which could be a rope climb or ramp. Pirate Ship 2 — deluxe activity: This ship is about $51,000. It has three slides, climbing features, games and other fun activities. Pirate Ship 3 — standard play structure: This playground is under $30,000 unless additional features are added. It has two slides and climbing features. As the budget allows, we can also add some rocks for climbing or tunnels or fun concrete animal shapes sticking out of the ground to add atmosphere. I've also found some fun options for swings, merry -go- rounds /rock N raft and teeter totters. Please direct me according to your vision: (refer to the attached graphics) Swingset 1: T -shape design for a handicapped accessible swing on one side and a mommy- and -me swing on the other. A second structure with three swings. The three -way swing requires some pushing when only one child is on the set, but is self - propelling with multiple children. Swingset 2: A traditional swing design with one accessible, one toddler swing and 2 traditional swings. Merry -go -round and other optional equipment: Some of the attached are options for inclusive play. The teeter -totter is not, but does look fun. The teeter -totter and the three -way swing both require quite a bit of area and both may not be possible in this park. Please give me a preference for one or the other. I've begun the process of working with consultants. I've made contact with a landscape architect, an architect and a playground designer (specific to one vender). I'll relay your choices back to them and they will complete a scope of work. We may be able to request change order to use the same contractor to do the site work that is currently working on the property, which would likely be a time and cost savings. Once we have a concept layout, the Commission should consider setting a date for a public open house for the park project. We may be ready to host the open house on the March 13, 2018 parks meeting. I'll be better able to judge the appropriate timeframe after we receive the scope by the consultants.
