does not showcase the active portions of the park, nor does it go through the woods, which is
very pretty.
Chair Hirner asked if it was certain that they will construct the bridge through Option #2.
Planning Director Darling stated that they will, however, the responsibility for maintenance and
replacement would fall to the City.
Commissioner Heinz noted that he walks his puppy here and has tried to observe the usage of
the park and parking habits. He stated that he would also support Option #3 because it would
have the least impact on the park , the wooded areas, and will be less costly.
Commissioner Tauer shared her concerns about Option #1 due to the speed of the bicycle traffic
and stated that she would agree that Option #3 is the best option.
Chair Hirner stated that he also has concerns about the first two options and would support Option
#3.
The Commission discussed City park signage separate from the Three Rivers Park District.
Hirner moved to recommend approval of the Option #3 for the Three Rivers Park District
trail, that the lower parking lot has parking spaces dedicated to the trailhead, that signage
when entering Freeman Park indicate the parking situation, that the wayfinding signage
directing people be included, that information on the trailhead be added to the City website,
and that the kiosk be located where it is plainly visible. Tauer seconded the motion.
Motion carried 4-0.
Planning Director Darling suggested that Commissioner Heinz present to the Council on August
9, 2021.
Chair Hirner suggested that other Commissioners may also want to attend since this is such a big
recommendation.
Hirner moved to recommend that for Option #3, that the City does not lose the soccer field
or that the trail have any impact to the ballfield as part of the project. Tauer seconded the
motion. Motion carried 4-0.
The Commission talked about other items related to the Park tour.
Chair Hirner stated that for a future agenda, he would like to discuss whether there is something
the Commission or City can do to encourage and draw senior citizen and others into the parks.
The Commission discussed possible senior programming options and ways to tap into the senior
residents of the City.
Chair Hirner asked that this item be placed on next month’s agenda.
Planning Director Darling noted that, as a group, the Commission did not visit Crescent Beach,
Gideon Glen, Minnetonka Country Club open space, or the Christmas Lake boat landing. She
asked if any of the Commission members had comments from their personal visits to those sites.

Commissioner Tauer explained that she had been instructed by friends who live in the Minnetonka
Country Club area to pass along that they would love trash cans along the walking route.
Planning Director Darling gave a brief overview of the proposal staff will be bringing next month
about some improvements to the Christmas Lake boat landing area to address some of the
concerns from the HOA and nearby residents.
Chair Hirner suggested that the Commission make an effort to go out to the Christmas Lake boat
landing area prior to the next meeting.
B. Review Quote for Extension of Fence at Southshore Community Park
Community Gardens
Park and Recreation Director Grout gave an overview of the quote from Dakota Fencing for the
extension of the fencing at Southshore Community Park Community Gardens.
Chair Hirner asked when the City may need to make a decision about adding another spigot for
watering, rather than just adding more hose.
Park and Recreation Director Grout stated that she will check with the Public Works Department
to see about adding another spigot.
Planning Director Darling stated that it is on a water line, so she assumes they probably could
add a spigot. She stated that she will also need to ask if there would be enough pressure to add
another spigot.
Heinz moved to recommend approval of the quote from Dakota Fencing for extension of
the fence at Southshore Community Park Community Gardens. Tauer seconded the
motion. Motion carried 4-0.
5. OLD BUSINESS
Commissioner Heinz stated that he thought the Badger Park Grand Opening was well done and
congratulated staff for how well the event went.
Planning Director Darling noted that Joey Nova’s sold out of everything that they had planned for
the event and actually sold more pizza in Badger Park that evening than they did in the restaurant.
She stated that the balloon lady was busy the entire time and worked steadily throughout the
event, with a line, until 30 minutes after the event closed. She commended Park and Recreation
Director Grout for her work on this event because it turned out lovely. She stated that
Communications Director Julie Moore also did a nice job getting the word out about the Grand
Opening.
Commissioner Heinz stated that there was also a good crowd for the Music in the Park event.
Park and Recreation Director Grout stated that she thinks there were around 200 people and if
so, would be the largest crowd they have ever had for Music in the Park.

Re: Birch Bluff Trail
The city is in the process of scoping the street reconstruction project for Birch Bluff Road, which is slated
for construction in 2023. Eureka Road from Smithtown Road and the Lake Minnetonka Regional Trail
intersection, up to Crescent Beach Park on the shore of Lake Minnetonka in Tonka Bay is identified in the
City of Shorewood’s 2012 Trail Plan to include a trail connecting these two locations. The width of the
trail is intentionally left undefined in the trail plan, but identifies that the segment could be sidewalk or trail
and that it should fit the context of the area. Staff would like discussion, feedback, and recommendations
on the appropriate process to seek and gather feedback from adjacent residents and the community as a
whole on the typical section to utilize in this corridor.
Staff has prepared some higher level typical section showing both a 6’ wide sidewalk adjacent to the back
of curb, similar to Smithtown Road, and a more traditional 8 foot wide trail with a 5 foot wide boulevard.
The corridor has varying topography along its length and will likely require tree removals, wetland impacts,
retaining walls, and easement acquisition. The overall width of the roadway and trail connection will have
significant impact on the overall impacts for the project.

Re: Christmas Lake Boat Landing
The Christmas Lake Home Owners Association (HOA) has reached out to the city requesting assistance in
constructing a concrete pad to locate their Aquatic & Invasive Species (AIS) cleaning equipment at the
Christmas Lake boat landing. Currently, the AIS cleaning equipment is located within one of the seven
existing car and trailer parking stalls. Providing a dedicated concrete pad for the AIS cleaning equipment
will make all of the parking stalls available to boaters and lake users.
Staff has discussed potential options with the HOA and gathered information such as a wetland delineations
and topographic survey to help advance the design and decision making process. Two overall options have
been evaluated and are discussed in more detail below.
Option 1: Pad North of Parking Lot
This option proposes a 12 foot by 24 foot concrete pad to extend off of the north edge of the parking lot.
This option would require a small boulder wall around the perimeter to hold up the pad. Several trees and
some brush in the area will need to be removed in order to facilitate construction This option will be within
7 feet of the water surface at it closest point.
Option 2: Pad within Island
This option would incorporate the concrete pad within the center island of the parking lot. The center
island is currently lower than the parking lot and allows storm water to route through it to the lake. This
option would require the removal of an ash tree and some clusters of buckthorn. The existing culvert that
drains through the center island will need to be extended.
Both options will require two variances. The first variance is required due to the proposed improvements
being within the 75 foot setback from the Ordinary High Water Level of the lake. The second variance is
due to the impervious surface being over 25% of the lot area. The impervious surface is currently 51.3%
and would increase to 51.7% or 0.4%.
The HOA and staff recommend Option 2. Staff is looking for feedback and input on the project.

Re: Review Results of the Park Survey for Adult/Senior Activities
The Park Commission has been discussing installing park equipment for adult/seniors. It was
decided to get community input through a survey. An article was in the March newsletter
explaining that the park commission and city staff are looking for community input on park
equipment and park improvements. Residents were able to take the survey on-line or they could
contact the city and a survey would be mailed to them.
The survey was available on-line for two weeks and the city received 100 responses to the
survey.
The results show that walking trails are the most used with 77 responses. Other facilities that
they would like to see is exercise equipment with 26 responses, the park they would like to see
the equipment placed at is Freeman with 46 responses, and if the equipment were installed 50
responded that they would like it along the trails. 40 responded that they would use the
equipment once or twice a week and with Freeman being the most used park. Attached is a copy
of the final survey results showing all responses to the questions.
After review of the survey results the Park Commissioners will need to determine if they would
like to continue further discussion and review of installing exercise equipment at the parks.

Re: Date Change for October Park Commission Meeting
The City Council meeting for October 11 falls on a holiday. Because of this, the council meeting has been
scheduled for Tuesday, October 12 (which is the second Tuesday of the month and the scheduled Park
Commission meeting).
The fourth Tuesday of the month is a backup for the Park Commission to hold a meeting. Would October
26 work for the Park Commission to hold their October meeting?
Please advise staff if the Park Commission would like to hold their meeting on Tuesday, October 26.
