SHOREWOOD PARK COMMISSION MINUTES
TUESDAY, MARCH 23, 1993 - Page two
CONSIDER ALTERNATE 5 YEAR PARK INPROVEMENT PROGRAM /1993 PARK PROJECTS
The Commission discussed the alternate plan as shown on page 22 of the
CIP. Administrator Hurm said the plan estimates revenues at $75,000 in
1993. Hurm also passed out and explained a memo received from City
Planner Nielsen that referred to a vacant piece of property on Academy
Avenue. This piece of property is 83.6' x 141.8' and is served by city
sewer. This is a buildable lot and could be sold. Nielsen gave several
examples of similar lots in the vicinity with land values in the tax
book ranging from $29,400 to $33,600.
Administrator Hurm said he had talked to Todd Hoffman from the City of
Chanhassen. He said due to the failure of the referendum he asked
Hoffman what they can do to help with Cathcart Park other than caring
for the greenery.
Bensman said she feels it is important to improve the parks and educate
the residents regarding the parks.
The Commission discussed other ways of raising funds for the parks.
They discussed revenues from concessions. Lindstrom informed the
commission that the South Shore Softball League will not be holding a
tournament in Freeman this year. He said it is too difficult when there
are no restrooms and no concession stand. He said a concession stand
would help to raise revenue. Hurm suggested other cities be contacted
to see how they work with organizations that run concession stands in
their parks.
The Commission discussed playground equipment. They questioned whether
the amounts allowed in the present alternate plan would be sufficient.
They feel that it is important to install playground equipment as soon
as possible. They discussed installing a basic piece of playground
equipment that could have various additions, hopefully from donations,
in an area where a lot of people would see it. They felt Freeman or
Badger would be good areas for this although they discussed the
possibility of putting something in Silverwood Park too because there
is nothing there at this time. McCarty will try to find out the name of
a playground equipment company when the actual construction can be done
by volunteers. Lindstrom will talk to a Scoutmaster he knows to get
information. Wilson will check with Ray Vogtman of Hopkins to get more
information on work done by Tree Trust and how to contact them.
SHOREWOOD PARK COMMISSION MINUTES
TUESDAY, MARCH 23, 1993 - Page three
Fuller suggested focusing on 1994 as "Playground Equipment Year ". This
would give time for research into different equipment and other issues.
She also suggested contacting the University to see if they would be
interested in taking on the design as a project. Hurm suggested
reducing the number of tennis courts at Freeman from 4 to 3. This way
the playground equipment could be moved there, which is closer to the
Little League complex. They also discussed whether Park Planner Koegler
should be called in on the playground equipment but decided to do some
groundwork first.
The Commission hopes they will continue receiving $50,000 from the
General Fund for park improvements.
The Commission also discussed what to do in Silverwood Park this year.
Discussion on these issues will continue at future meetings.
ARBOR DAY CEREMONY
Hurm informed the Commission that Shorewood is now a "Tree City ". The
Commission will hold a tree planting ceremony in Freeman Park in May.
Commissioners Fuller and Bensman will handle the public relations.
