A. Freeman Park Ice Rink
Vassar provided written comments relating to the ice rink at Freeman Park. The rubber mats from the
warming house to the ice need to be upgraded/maintained. The schedule for when the warming house is
open is unclear. There isn't a window to see what is going on outside. Mangold suggested a camera.
There have been real issues with the locks on the doors. Heat in the warming house is also an issue. Also,
a sign is needed indicating when the warming house is open.
Mangold asked if there were any comments on maintaining

Commissioners discussed concern over the willow tree that acts as a focal point. Darling mentioned that
there was neighborhood opposition to removing the tree. Darling stated it has a limited amount of life,
and the Commission should discuss what could go there in its place once removed. Mangold suggested
an arborist look at the tree to assess the risk.
Silverwood Park
Commissioners discussed sign replacement and wanted more information on the last contact.

Mangold stated there is a need for a curb stop to keep the satellite from being moved.
Mangold stated there needs to be a discussion about which fund the money should come from for
retaining wall construction. Darling indicated the retaining wall is in the park CIP presently, but it could
be discussed during the next CIP update.
Southshore Park
More trees need to be planted and signage was discussed. Commissioners discussed tearing out the
asphalt area and asked for an estimate to have that removed.
Cathcart Park
The signage needs maintenance. Labadie stated Cathcart Park has been completely annexed into
Shorewood. It is now completely landlocked by the city of Chanhassen. A resident raised concerns about
drainage from the park, and staff will continue to work °with the resident. Darling noted a ditch/
infiltration area needs to be added on the west side of the tennis court area to reduce the volume of runoff
from the park. The project may require the removal of a line ofash trees.'

Survey Results
Comprehensive Plan Consultants Review of Survey Information
The attached are the results of the unscientific survey on survey monkey that collected data
from residents on various city programs and potential future programs. Also attached are com-
ments gathered at the open houses held as part of the update process.
I included an open ended question on what kind of recreation facilities or programs that resi-
dents would like that aren't currently offered. The suggestions were pretty well- thought out.
Some of the items suggested are out of the budget for a community of this size, but others may
be appropriate to consider as we begin planning the next remodels of playgrounds and parks.

As residential development continues to grow in Shorewood, it's critically important for City
staff to proactively hold developers accountable for achieving all requirements in development
agreements. Tax paying residents bear the negative impacts when developers are not held
accountable for achieving what they promised to the city. Staff needs to validate that all
requirements have been met (i.e. HOA declarations recorded on all lots) before giving approval
to advance to the next stage of development (i.e. issuing any building permits). When a
developer fails to achieve these requirements, the City should leverage all remedies upon default
that out outlined in the development agreements (i.e. executing on letters of credit, city council
hearings, legal proceedings, etc.). When this doesn't happen, residents bear all the negative
impact and developers benefit financially.

RESPONSES (I 10
There should be public input to the survey questions before releasing. The survey seems a bit
biased (i.e. section 3 should be the same as 2 with choices for levels of importance). Section 3
question: "Providing proactive code enforcement and requiring maintenance of homes"
responses should be eliminated as the question is too specific as related to other questions (i.e. it
seems blatantly stated to solicit a positive response without public input to an underlying
problem in the city based on facts). Shorewood's policy has been to respond to code enforcement
issues on citizen complaint, not proactive enforcement. Given the historic nature of the city,
grandfathered homes and greenfield construction of multi- million dollar homes, changing this
policy seems fraught with potential liability for the city (i.e.we don't need our tax $ paying

sensitivity to the surrounding cities and their zoning relevant to Shorewood's comprehensive

Strongly opposed to future development along Smithtown Road. The traffic impact would be
significant and having two developments across the road from one another makes no logical
sense to me. Neighboring residents like myself are upset about this proposal and very much hope
it is not passed. Shorewood has a wonderful, semi -rural small -town vibe and developments such
as this are the demise of that aesthetic that we love.

I have discussed this issue with many of the past and current staff and elected officials, and note
that some solutions are currently being attemped. The curbs at intersections along the
afformentioned cut- through seem to make drivers think a little, and even slow down some. But I
would submit that while the flashing lights on the stop signs do attract attention, the timing of
their installation is being seen as seasonal decorations only!!! There is no apparent improvement
in the traffic stopping for any of the signs at all. I still believe the only way to get drivers to fully
understand what the word STOP means is to talk to them directly!! On site observation will
conclude that , while placing a patrol car at an intersection will get drivers to stop a time or
maybe two, the problem will resurface as soon as the car is gone. I would also guess this problem
to be much wider as well!

We do not need more multi family or affordable homes. Shorewood has a mix of housing options
at present and that is part of its charm. As to budget increases, fiscal responsibility to do more
with less is the best approach. While going up a percent doesn't seem like much, it does translate
into additional homeowner costs (TAXES) and in general all cost of living goes up but peoples
incomes don't keep pace.

We have been very disappointed by the lack of followthrough on the clear- cutting on the west
side of Silver Lake. It has turned a natural setting into what looks like a series of resorts. This
started with one owner who got away with doing it, and has quickly spread through the entire
Ridge Road. I have made several (8) calls to the city and sent photos of the damage, but the
response is that the Ridge Road residents say they are just cutting out Buckthorn. Some of the
trunks are the size of dinner plates. It's not that hard to see that it's much more than that. We
comply with the setbacks, why are those who violate just overlooked? Between the clear - cutting
and the dramatic deterioration of Silver Lake, our property value is steadily decreasing. I don't
understand the lack of enforcement, especially when it directly effects those of us who live on
the East side of Silver Lake. I would appreciate a response with some sort of explaination of
what is being done, and not just the same answer that it's hard to prove that they aren't just
removing Buckthorn. Any reasonable person would recognize that this is not the case. Thanks

I don't really love anything about Shorewood, but this is where I am for now. The lazy
enforcement of junk and code violations over the years have allowed more affordable
neighborhoods to decline. The difficulty in getting any enforcement from uncooperative staff is
agonizing. The fact that it is "complaint only" turns neighbor on neighbor and sets us up for
stigmatization. The tree "preservation" has created ROW hazards and a plethora of weed-like,
broken, and unattractive ash trees hanging over streets, power lines and private property, with no
plans on what to do with them when the borer arrives. And it adds to the development cost. "Tree
Preservation" may be placating to voters, but it leaves a lot to be desired in the common sense
department.

Inadequate access to Hwy 7. Road improvements and widened road sections encourage speeding

that any landscaper, contractor or junk collector can move into this town, set up shop, and it is
incumbent on the residents to take action against them, even when in violation of the code. And
it takes months, if not years to get the problem resolved by the city. 3. What else? The tree
preservation policy has protected a generation of crap trees, i.e., ash and cottonwood, that are
now overgrown and dangerous to the public and to private property, with no plans for a TREE
MANAGEMENT POLICY. 5. Finally, signs in the right -of -way, make numerous complaints to

RE: Item 4C: Badger Park Landscaping Plan Revisions
Attachments: Affected Area Exhibit
Shrub Example
Two areas adjacent to the new parking lot have grades at a 3:1 slope. A 3:1 slope is fairly steep
for mowing. The contractors suggested a native turf seed mix for these areas. However, staff
has concluded that a wilder unmowed area would not be appropriate for all the affected areas
(see the attached exhibit). Instead, staff considered the following alternatives:
For the area closest to Country Club Road at the drivewav entrance:
This area is highly visible. Staff concludes a more formal appearance would be appropriate in
this location. Staff recommend that sod or a low coniferous shrub (attached example) would be
more appropriate for these areas than seed.
For the area north of the parking area and at least 100 -150 feet away from Country Club Road:
This area was previously not maintained and a native seed mix could be appropriate. There are
a number of trees in this location to be planted and tall vegetation could help block views into
the adjacent properties.
For the area between the parking area and the lacrosse field:
This area is highly visible and staff conclude that tall native grasses are not appropriate for this
area. The same shrubs could work in the location near the entrance, or a low- growing clover
area, similar to what was started in Cathcart Park, could be appropriate for this location.
Please provide your recommendations to staff and we will get estimates from the contractors
for your preferences and propose the items to the City Council. Changes above seed or sod
would likely result in an increase to the cost of the project as sod was estimated for these areas
originally.

RE: Item 4D: Manor Park Willow
Attachments: Tree Risk Assessment
As discussed at one of the last Park Commission meetings, the Manor Park willow tree has con-
tinued to age since the last major limb fell.
The assessment (attached) concludes that there is a strong chance that all or part of the central
leader could fail within the next year. Because there is no facility (picnic shelter, playground)
directly underneath during a fall, the arborist categorized the threat risk as moderate.
Staff recommends removal as soon as possible due to the following factors:
1. The tree is at the end of its life and is likely to fail
2. There is a strong chance that a resident could be in the vicinity when the tree fails
3. There is no option (trimming limbs or other procedure) to reduce the threat to the
public
Please provide your recommendation to the City Council. Your options include:
• Recommend removal
• Recommend the tree remain

A site visit was made on February 24, 2018 to assess the condition and potential risk
associated with a large willow tree growing at Manor Park located in Shorewood MN. The tree has
lost multiple lead branches and appears to have signs of decay. It is located near the center of the
park and its location is represented by the red circle in the photo below. In close proximity to the
tree are a pond, a playset, restroom facility, ballfield, volleyball and tennis courts.
It was a cold day with temperatures in the 20's, fresh snow on the ground and no breeze. The
tree is a large Black willow (Salix nigra). The trunk measures 50" inches in diameter and roughly 60
feet in height. The size, health, location, damage, and proximity of targets are of a concern to the city
and initiated this risk assessment.
The tree is located in an open area with ample rooting space. There were no signs of recent
construction activity around the tree or other disturbances. It appears as if the tree has undergone
some maintenance in the past as many previous pruning cuts were observed. The edge of the play
area and ballfield bench are both located within one and a half times the height of the tree.
S&S Tree and Horticultural Specialists, Inc. I Consulting Division Page 3
Risk Assessment Methods
The ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) has designated three levels of inspections
for Tree Risk Assessment, 1) Limited visual, 2) Basic, and 3) Advanced.
A Level 2 assessment involves inspecting the tree visually- using binoculars, mallets,
probes, or shovels to assess general tree health. A look at potential targets and the target zone
for trees and /or branches that may fail will be part of the assessment. Site history, current
conditions, and the species failure profile will be reviewed and observations of site conditions,
defects, and outward signs of possible internal defects and response growth will be recorded. If
necessary, an advanced assessment (Level 3) for the tree can be recommended. The data will be
analyzed to determine the likelihood and consequences of failure in order to evaluate the degree
of risk (low, moderate, high, or extreme). Mitigation options can be explored and an estimate
residual risk for each option can be determined. Ultimately it is up to the landowner(s) of the
tree, to determine if that risk is acceptable.
The analysis will be valid for 1 year from the completion date of the project. Some of
the limitations that are common to risk assessment include but are not limited to the following.
Tree risk assessment considers only known targets and visible or detectable tree conditions. Tree
risk assessments represent the condition of the tree and site at the time of inspection. The time
frame for risk categorization (1 year) should not be considered a guarantee period for the risk
assessment. Only those trees specified in the scope of work were assessed, and assessments
were performed within the limitations specified. And lastly, any tree, whether it has visible
weaknesses or not, will fail if the forced applied to it exceed the strength of the tree or its parts.
It is highly recommended that this tree be inspected annually.
S&S Tree and Horticultural Specialists, Inc. I Consulting Division Page 4
Black Willow
The crown of this tree is relatively small as multiple
large diameter leads have broken off from the main stem of
the tree and a large portion of the canopy is missing. (Figure
1). It appears as if the tree had up to 6 main lead branches at
one point based on the damage and that now only 3 remain
(Figure 2). There are signs of decay extending from this
wound both upwards into the remaining lead branches and
also downward into the trunk. Any forces exerted onto this
area will be made more significant since the wood strength
of the decayed area is compromised. Also, black willow is
known for its weak wood and shallow roots, which makes it
susceptible to breakage and windthrow. The three
remaining leads also lean at significant angles adding more
strain onto this already compromised union. The tree does
appear as if it will leaf out again in the spring as healthy
buds were observed in the canopy with the help of
binoculars.
The most upright of the 3 leads is dying from
the top down. A column of decay can be seen as evidenced
by significant woodpecker activity in Figure 3. It is quite
possible that sections of this leader will continue to fail as
they rot out. At its greatest this section of branch measures
over 14" in diameter. It is difficult to predict how large of a
piece may come down at any time, but it is a long section of
branch measuring at minimum 20 feet long. When this lead
fails there will be little left of this tree. There is also evidence
of included bark where the decaying branch

meets the compromised trunk. This makes that union even a little weaker than it already is.
Numerous larger diameter pruning cuts were observed suggesting a continued dying back of this
tree (Figure 4). Lastly, a large diameter branch was observed caught in the tree. It most likely broke
off from the central leader and now is caught amongst the branches waiting to fall to the ground as
it is no longer attached. The larger end has a diameter of roughly 7 inches (Figure 5). There are
indications of included bark on the central lead
and the trunk union. Included bark occurs when
two or more co- dominant stems (one of which
has since failed) grow within close proximity to
one another. Co- dominant stems suggest that
both stems grow as a single stem would, with
inner wood, cambium, and bark. Oftentimes the
bark that grows in between these co- dominant
stems causes a weak branch union that is prone
to failure (Figure 6).

S &S Tree and Horticultural Specialists, Inc. I {consulting Division Page 6
As mentioned previously the trunk measures 50" in diameter.
(Figure 7). The trunk splits into three about 8 feet off the ground.
There are indications of included bark at the junction of the main
central leader and the trunk union. There are also numerous sprouts
coming out from the main trunk. These can often be a sign of stress
on the tree. The tree still has a large root system to maintain but is
possibly not getting enough resources from the little viable material
that remains in the canopy. The trees response is to produce any
thing that can help it meet its energy demands and photosynthetic
needs and numerous sprouts will help to the extent but are not a
long -term solution.
7 Damaged main trunk and suns of decay
There appear to be no limiting impacts to the rooting zone of the tree. The root plate appears
to be at grade and other root flares are present around the tree. Some minor signs of decay were
visible at the time of this inspection but overall the root system looks fairly healthy. Overall this
appears to be a healthy root system.
UMM
Part of risk assessment is considering the targets that the tree may be near which would be
impacted by failure. In this case you have a tree that is fairly centrally located within this park. In
close proximity you have the pond, the play area, restrooms, a ballfield, and volleyball and tennis
courts. To go from one location to the other there is a good chance you will be walking near this
tree. While there are no targets directly underneath the tree such as a picnic table, the tree is still in
a
SAS Tree and Horticultural Specialists, Inc. j Constilting Division Page 7
location where it could be utilized for shade when park users are engaged in park related activities.
Part of risk assessment is also to determine the occupancy rates of the area around the tree in
question. The park is heavily used during the summer months by the entire neighborhood and even
on this wintery day there were people in the park playing on the play set.
Oftentimes risk can be mitigated by providing corrective measures to the tree or the site to lessen
the danger. This can be done in many different ways to include pruning, cabling, bolting, or moving
and blocking potential targets. In this situation not much can be done to mitigate the risk associated
with this tree beyond removing the unattached branch. Removing the central leader before it sheds
more pieces is a step that can be taken but not much will be left of the tree at that point potentially
malting the tree aesthetically unpleasing.
All factors need to be considered when determining a risk rating. Starting with the tree itself,
a Black willow tree with a damaged trunk, compromised branch unions, excessive dieback, signs of
decay, and woodpecker activity. There exists the potential for the central lead to sheer off of the
tree from a large gust of wind or snow and ice event. If that occurs what remains of the tree will be
two low hanging branches coming off at sharp angles.
In the case of this tree, considering all factors involved it is probable parts of this tree will
fail, most likely by losing part or all of the central leader. Occupancy rates for someone being in
close proximity to the tree are medium. Therefore, within the next year, it is somewhat likely that a
target will be impacted. Given that the impacts could be severe this tree poses a MODERATE risk.
There are no mitigation techniques that could reduce the risk associated with this tree. It is up to
the owner of the tree to determine if this risk is acceptable to them.

RE: Item 5A /5B: Badger Park Site Plan and Neighborhood meeting
W=
Staff and the playground designer are in the process of developing a site plan for the play-
ground area that is set more specifically into the space available. The site plan was not immedi-
ately available at the time the packets were produced, but should be available for the Parks
Commission meeting.
With the number of items that are still floating around concerning the playground design, May
or June would be an appropriate time for a neighborhood meeting. The equipment won't be
available for installation until late summer.
Grant applications are proceeding. Staff have found two grants that may assist in financing the rede-
velopment of the Badger Park Playground and shelter area.
The first is a grant called the Outdoor Recreation Grant Program from the Minnesota DNR. The grant
uses federal funds through the Land and Water Conservation Fund. This is a matching grant and awards
are between $5,000 and $150,000. Awards are in the form of reimbursement and improvements must
be completed within 24 months to be eligible. The award announcement will occur this summer.
The second grant is through the Hennepin County Youth Sports Program. The grant uses a portion of
the .15% sales tax surcharge (authorized to build Target Field) to fund over $2 million dollars each year
to Hennepin County communities to build playground structures. The total grant award is up to
$25,000. The award announcements will occur this spring.
Resolutions authorizing the grant applications were forwarded to the City Council for their March 12,
2018 meeting. Staff will provide an update of the approval process at the meeting.

Commissioners previously requested more information on the estimates for replacing the
wooden signs at two parks, Cathcart and Silverwood:
Replacing the signs with a composite material (Extira) would cost: $2,088 (Sign Source)
Replacing the signs with a wood would cost: $2,704 (1.5 inch wide from Sign Source) or $3,510
(1.75 inch wide from Fast Signs)
Staff note that both parks playgrounds are due for renovation in about three years and suggests
that removing deteriorated signs would be more cost effective until the playgrounds are reno-
vated. Staff requests Commission direction on how you prefer to proceed.
