date, but it could be to Shorewood's advantage.
The 1983 Festival was discussed. It was felt that there weren't enough attractions
to keep the people occupied, so this is a problem for the Committee to overcome in
1984.
The following activities were mentioned:

SHOREWOOD OAKS
Mr. Geoff Martin of Howard Dahlgren and Associates gave a presentation. They are
requesting a Comp Plan Amendment to allow an increse in density.
Shorewood Oaks is a new project. It proposes 135 single family dwellings on 44
acres of land. Freeman Park abuts the north and east sides of the proposed
project. There are tiro proposed entrances, the main entrance in the Southeast
corner on State Highway 7, which will require MN /DOT approval, and a secondary
entrance on Strawberry Lane to the west.
Commission discussed:
Drainage
• They questioned the size and location of the holding pond. They also expressed
concern about the holding pond draining down the creek into the wetlands area
on the ease side of Freeman Park (abutting Wagner property). They felt this
could cause serious drainage problems and would like an opinion from Planner
Nielsen and Engineer Norton.

• Entrance
They talked to Mr. Martin about the problem of having 2 major entrances- -
Freemean Park and Shorewood Oaks -- within approximately 400 feet of each other.
They felt this might cause a problem with MN /DOT and discussed the possibility
of a joint entrance of some type.
Park Lighting and Noise from Athletic Events
They felt that the development contract should inform the future residents
of the project that lighting was addressed in the original Freeman Park
Plan, and although there are no immediate plans, it isa future possibility.
Also, there are existing spectator sports that generate a certain amount of
noise.
Park Road
The idea of a park road, in lieu of park fees, was mentioned.
The Commissioner feels that Shorewood Oaks and the City would benefit each other,
but also wish to protect their long range plans for Freeman Park.
Mr. Martin said he would discuss the above issues with the owner.

MEMO: DATE: 8 Feb 1984
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: SUE NICCUM
RE: LIGHTS ON THE HOCKEY RINKS
At the request of Commissioner Gary Carl I called NSP
and re— checked on the price of the lights. I talked
to Jerry Eng and he informed me that the cost for the
lights is not $5.22 per hour per light but that it is
$.0522 per hour per light making the hourly cost at
each rink approximately $ .27. This is the figure for
the total of 4 1000 watt lights and 2 smaller lights,
approximately 200 watts apiece.
