CITY HALL /BADGER PARK CONCEPT PLAN
Planner Nielsen said the City decided to look at a overall improvement plan.
He presented two maps that included the newly purchased house (office), City
Hall, Public Works, and Badger Park. One map was an issues map which showed
existing problem areas. According to Shorewood's Zoning Ordinance:
- the parking setback from Country Club Road is inadequate
- outdoor storage areas should be screened
- outdoor storage is taking up parking area
- the parking lot should be striped and curbed
- metal buildings are not allowed
The second map dealt with proposed improvements:
- putting curbing, striping, and landscaping the parking lot
- putting in a grassy area with landscaping to meet the setbacks from Country
Club Road and to screen the area
- putting an opaque screen on the tennis court (north side) for screening
purposes
- running a 4' earth berm with a 5' fence along the south side of the road
that goes by the "Schimmelpfennig" building and partway up the hill on
the east side of the road that meets Smithtown Road. This would be for
screening purposes.
- Moving the hockey rink to allow room for the berm.
The Park Commission mentioned the possibility of moving the hockey rink
straight back, this would mean only one set of lights would have to be moved.
- additional landscaping on the south side of the park - possibly evergreens.
- a walkway between City Hall and the newly purchased house (which will serve
as office space).
- "new house" property - remove driveway on Country Club Road

• CITY HALL /BADGER PARK CONCEPT PLAN continued
- "new house" property - pave and stripe back parking area (to be used by
Employees only.
- "new house" property - limit garage use to seasonal storage
- "new house" property - fence and landscape east property line along
parking area
It was brought to the Park Commission's attention that the original agreement
called for 80% useage for Parks and 20% useage for Public Works and non -
recreational. Presently non - recreational is occupying 18% of the area.
The possibility of acquiring more property to the north for Public Works
use was discussed. The present area may not be adequate for Public Works
in the future. If Public Works eventually moved to a different piece of
property, the Public Works Garage could be removed, that area could be
made into parking and perhaps the "Schimmelpfennig" Garage could be used
for park equipment storage.
The area in the NE corner fronting on Smithtown Road was also discussed.
It was marked for possible Public Works storage. The Park Commission
discussed the possibility of using it for 'parking for the football field.
The possibility of removing the football field completely from Badger Park
was also discussed. Another item discussed was the salt pile and its effect
on the hockey rink. Planner Nielsen said the berm would help prevent salt
• entering the rink.
MANOR PARK WARMING HOUSE /PAVILION - MINNETONKA PLANS
Planner Nielsen talked to the City Attorney who said the plans could be
used. Planner Nielsen did point out to the Commission that if the plans
are used this way the architect does not have any responsibility. he
said as building inspector he could look at existing structures to see
if they meet the codes.
