Other Items CITY HALL: 216 NORTH FOURTH STREET · STillWATER, MINNESOTA 55082 PHONE: 651-430-8800 · WEBSITE: www.ci.stillwater.mn.us City of Stillwater Parks and Recreation Board July 24, 2006 Present: Rob McGarry, vice chair David Brandt, Wally Milbrandt, Cathy Sewilo and Sandy Snell man Others: Planner Mike Pogge Absent: Linda Amrein and Paul Donna Mr. McGarry called the meeting to order at 6 p.m. Approval of minutes: Ms. Sewilo noted a misspelling of the name of the second person who spoke during the public meeting on the use of Staples Field. The speaker was John Heselton. Mr. Milbrandt moved to approve the minutes of June 26 with that correction. Ms. Snell man seconded the motion; motion passed unanimously. ACTION ITEMS Picnic table standard - Mr. Milbrandt said he brought this issue up when the Council was asked to approve the purchase of 8 new tables. He said he was unaware that a standard style of table had been adopted. Mr. McGarry said he didn't recall that either - the Board did approve a standard style for benches and trash containers, he recalled. Mr. Milbrandt said he was OK with the style as long as it matches the trash receptacles. Ms. Snellman moved to approve the standard style of picnic table as presented. Ms. Sewilo seconded the motion; motion passed unanimously. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS Staples Field basketball court - There was a brief discussion of the public meeting regarding the use of Staples Field. Mr. Pogge noted that the comments received at the meeting were split, with five who spoke in favor of a basketball use and five who were opposed. He noted that the tour planned after the adjournment of the regular meeting included two potential basketball court sites - Washington School and Schulenberg Park. He noted that Washington School (New Heights charter school) is receptive to having a court there, but has no financing. If there were to be a court at Schulenberg Park, it would likely have to be a half-court, he said. There was discussion as to a possible reuse of the Staples Field court. Mr. Milbrandt suggested it would be senseless to tear up the existing court and noted there will be no funds for any improvements in the 2006-07 budget. Mr. Brandt agreed there is not a lot that can be done with an area that small. Mr. Milbrandt suggested looking at what the Washington School and Schulenberg sites have to offer as potential basketball court sites. Mr. Milbrandt noted that a precedent was set in the decision to set the hours of the Teddy Bear Park as 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and said perhaps the same hours could be set for basketball use. Mr. McGarry pointed out that the City was closing the Staples Field facility at night and still received complaints. Mr. McGarry also said he thought the City/Board made the wrong decision in closing the court, Teddv Bear Park noise - Mr. Pogge said it was staff's recommendation to see how the newly instituted park hours of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. work. He said no additional complaints Parks and Recreation Board Minutes July 24, 2006 Page 2 of2 had been received, but noted that the bell, which had been stolen, is being replaced. He said if noise does resurface as an issue, it will be brought back to the Board. He said kids climbing the bears is one of the issues that staff is dealing with. Other items - Mr. Milbrandt asked if Lowell Park is being watered to bring the grass back after the recent Lumberjack Days use. There was a brief discussion as to Lumberjack Days and the use of the south end of the park for family events. It was the consensus that arrangements worked well. Mr. Brandt, seconded by Mr. Milbrandt, moved to adjourn at 6:25 p.m. Following adjournment, members toured Washington School, Staples Field, Schulenberg Park and Settler's Glen Park.

LANDOWNER: Rick Carlson, C3 Land Development, LLC REQUEST: Preliminary Plat approval for a 15 lot Residential Subdivision LOCATION: NW Qadrant of Neal Avenue and McKusick Road COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: RR, Semi-Rural Residential PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD DATE: August 28,20006 REVIEWERS: Community Development Director, Interim Public Works Director, Deputy Fire Chief, City Forester, Washington Co. Highway Department, Brown's Creek Watershed District PREPARED BY: Michel Pogge, City Planner fJ1f"f BACKGROUND Timothy Freeman of Folz, Freemen, Erickson, Inc. has submitted a preliminary plat on behalf of the land owner C3 Land Development, LLC. The project is referred to as Brown's Creek Reserve and is located at the northwest quadrant of the intersection of Neal Avenue North and McKusik Road North. The project shows 15 large lot single family home sites on the 8.9 acre property (9.5 acres if McKusick Road right-of-way is included). Lots within the project range in size from 10,251 square feet to 19,760 square feet. The proposed development density is 1.69 homes per gross acre. This corresponds to the Comprehensive Plan category known as Single Family Large Lot (SFLL). The project would represent the continuation of the infrastructure and development pattern established by the preliminary plat approved for US Homes on the former Palmer property immediately to the north. This includes: . A cul-de-sac that would intersect with the east-west road into Millbrook from Neal Avenue; . An 8' wide bituminous trail that would continue from Millbrook along Brown's Creek; '\. Brown's Creek Reserve August 24,2006 Page 2 1 · A sidewalk that would continue from Millbrook along the east side of the cul-de-sac and provide a loop out to Neal Avenue and back to the Brown's Creek trail; and · Utilities that would be installed across Brown's Creek Reserve to Millbrook. 37% of the site is proposed to be dedicated to the City as open space. This 3.3 acre open space area would include: a stormwater pond that would treat stormwater from the proposed lots; a stretch of Brown's Creek; the wetlands abutting Brown's Creek; a small wooded upland area; and an 8 foot wide bituminous trail. SPECIFIC REQUEST In order to develop the property as proposed, the applicant has requested approval Preliminary Plat approval for a 15 lot Residential Subdivision by the Parks and Recreation Board. EVALUATION OF REQUEST Preliminary Plat - Park and Trail Dedication The public open space plan for Brown's Creek is proposed to include: 1. An 8 foot wide bituminous trail along the Brown's Creek wetland trail that would serve as a connecting link between the Millbrook trails to the north and the future Neal Avenue trail. Due to setback requirements of the Brown's Creek Watershed District the trail is proposed to be located in the rear yard setbacks of lots 8-15. 2. An 8 foot wide bituminous trail along Neal Avenue North. 3. A concrete sidewalk along the easterly side of the proposed cul-de-sac. This sidewalk would be extended out to Neal Avenue and then northward to Millbrook and southward to McKusick Road. This would create a complete loop for the new neighborhood since the sidewalk would connect with the proposed trail. (See attached site plan.) 4. 3.3 acres of open space along Brown's Creek. This also includes over 27,000 square feet of wooded upland behind Lots 7 and 8. The Parks and Recreation Board reviewed the plan with the Concept PUD application. They determined that the proposed land dedication does not satisfy all of the City's park dedication standards. Therefore, they recommended that in addition to what is being proposed cash be dedicated in lieu of land. At $2,000 per lot, the cash dedication will be $30,000. This fee will be required prior to release of the final plat for recording with Washington County. Also, every development is required to pay $225 per lot toward the City's trail system, even if trails are being built by the developer on his property. So, $3,375 will be due for trails prior to release of the final plat. Brown's Creek Reserve August 24, 2006 Page 3 Miscellaneous comments: . A 15 foot wide public trail easement will be required to be centered on the property line between Lots 5 and 6. . The trail connection along the north side of Lot 15 is only needed temporarily. When Millbrook is developed, the trail will connect directly to their system. Therefore, a temporary 10 foot wide public trail easement is needed for this segment. An escrow sufficient for removal of this trail segment should be deposited with the City. RECOMMENDATIONS City Parks & Recreation Board At their April 24, 2006 meeting on a 5-0 vote (one abstention) the Parks Board recommended approval of the trail and sidewalk improvements but also recommended that the park dedication obligation be satisfied through a cash dedication rather than land. City Planning Commission At their May 8, 2006 meeting on an 8-1 vote the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Concept PUD with the conditions that park dedication be in the form of cash in lieu of land, and that the sidewalk along Neal Avenue also be extended northward to the northern property line of the project. The Planning Commission reviewed the Preliminary Plat on August 14, 2006. The Commission approved the plan on a vote of 8-0 with the conditions listed on page 4 of this report. Toint Planning Board At their May 24, 2006 meeting the Joint Planning Board unanimously recommended approval of the Concept PUD plans. City staff Staff Recommends the Parks & Recreation Board approve the Brown's Creek Reserve plans as conditioned. Brown's Creek Reserve August 24, 2006 Page 4 ALTERNATIVES A. Approval If the Parks Board finds the proposal to be satisfactory, it could approve it with the following conditions: 1. The site shall be developed in substantial conformance with the following plans on file with the Community Development Department, except as may be modified by the conditions herein: · Proposed Layout Plan dated 8/14/06 · Proposed Grading Plan dated 8/14/06 · Proposed Street Plan and Profile dated 6/26/06 · Proposed Utility Plan dated 8/14/06 · Proposed Landscape Plan dated 8/14/06 · Layout Plan - Tree Preservation Plan dated 7/19/06 2. A permanent sidewalk easement in a form and with content found satisfactory to the City Attorney and the Public Works Director shall be submitted for the 5 foot sidewalk segment between Lots 5 and 6. Said easement shall be fully executed and submitted to the City prior to release of the final plat for recording with Washington County . 3. A temporary trail easement in a form and with content found satisfactory to the City Attorney and the Public Works Director shall be submitted for the temporary trail segment along the north property line of Lot 15. Said easement shall be submitted to the City prior to release of the final plat for recording with Washington County. 4. Prior to release of the final plat for recording with Washington County, an escrow shall be deposited with the City in an amount found sufficient by the Stillwater Public Works Director to remove the temporary trail on the north side of Lot 15 when the trail system in Millbrook develops and the temporary trail becomes unnecessary. 5. Prior to release of the final plat for recording with Washington County, a $30,000 park dedication fee and $3,375 trail fee shall be submitted to the City. B. Table If the Parks Board finds that the preliminary plat application is not complete enough to make a decision, it could continue the review for additional information. C. Denial If the Parks Board finds the proposal to be unsatisfactory, it could deny it. With a denial, the basis of the action should be given. cc Tim Freeman Rick Carlson Attachments: Development Plan Set ....... ~ .... All Rig1Wi RC$ton'C'd fnl2 Prteman, linc.hon. TnC. C 2006 - . .

He watched over Lily Lake for years aad those that served on the council during that tiae didn't dare do anything there without consulting George. He was also instrumental in getting the beach done there in coo,eratioB with the VFW. He had no financial interest as he did not own a~ ,ro,erty mm or near the lake. Those of US "oldtill'lers" are grateful for }is guardianshi, of Lily Lake for those many years.

It is the site of what was once the Charles Macey farm. I would suggest it be called Charles Macey Park. The foundation and (filled in) basement of w ha t I believe was the site of the original farmhouse is still evident in the park, and could possibly be marked. Charles Macey was born in Quebec (Canada East) in 1821, which also happens to be the year the harmonica was invented in Germany. Orphaned at the age of 13, Charles worked for a farmer, a Mr. Jenny, until he reached the age of 18. Determined to explore the frontier of the United States, he set out for St. Louis, Missouri, traveling by canal boat, steamboat, and railroad. Running out of money before reaching his destination, he found employment for the winter at Alton, Illinois, a busy river port shipping iron ore, lead, and zinc to the eastern states. The following spring of 1840, he began working for the powerful American Fur Company for three years, followed by employment with another fur company for two additional years. It is recorded that "During this time he experienced many adventures and accidents, having been compelled many times to hunt his own food. " In 1845, he came to Fort Snelling, and from there to Stillwater, the largest city in the area at that time. He immediately staked out a land claim, but continued to live in town during the winter, working at the first sawmill in Stillwater, the McKusick Mill. The following spring, he learned his claim had been jumped by Walter Vail, who is best known as the second merchant to open a store in Stillwater. Upon confronting a defiant Vail on the claim, Vail retorted that there was plenty of land for all. Thwarted, Macey then marked out a second farm in Section 19, and "vowed vengeance against any further intruders." Using a military land warrant originally given to Wiley H. Bell, a private in Captain Wheeler's Company, Second Regiment, Illinois Volunteers, Macey bought the W ~ of the SE 14, and the E ~ of the SW 14, a 160 acres, for a price that was probably close to $1.00 an acre-certainly below the minimum government price of $1.25 an acre.! In 1849, he moved onto the farm, and built a small house. Mter five years of bachelorhood, he married a neighbor woman, Sarah Van Tassell with whom he had eleven children. 1 0 Deeds 260 Within a few years of his claim, Macey sold the sold 11 acres of the east half of his farm to William Boutwell.2 That 11 acres was never re- integrated into the farm, and remains a separate parcel today. In the summer, he farmed; in the winter, he worked as a teamster.3 In 1870, the first railroad to Stillwater, a branch of the St. Paul- Duluth line, came through Macey's farm.4 In December of 1908, Charles & Sarah Macey sold most of their farm to Eli & Wealthy (his wife) Brassar. 5 In November of 1926, perhaps flush with the boom economy of the 1920's, the Brassars took out a 5% mortgage for $7,700 from the Travelers Insurance Company, with annual interest only payments, until the principal was due seven years later, in Nov. of 1933.6 Unfortunately the Brassars were caught in the Great Depression, and the droughts of the 1930's, and in 1936, their farm, having been through foreclosure, was sold at auction for the amount due on the mortgage: $8,763.03.7 But there were no buyers, and The Travelers Insurance Company was forced to lease the land for farming. Finally in 1940, Travelers was able to sell the farm (W ~ NE :4 SE :4 & W ~ SE :4 except south 11 acres; E ~ SW :4) for $4,000 to Elenor Goggin.8 However Macey was also a member of the Rutherford Neighborhood, commemorated by the Rutherford School, as well as the Liberty development, and a number of street names in that area. Following is information on the neighborhood. The Rutherford Neighborhood The Rutherford Neighborhood became a prominent agricultural community of adjacent farmsteads located in rural Washington County, Minnesota. It is centered around the intersection of Section 25, T.30N, R.21W and Section 30, T.30N, R.20W (County Highway #12 and Manning Avenue 2 B Deeds 114 3 Folsom: Fifty Years in the Northwest, page 44,68,389; Warner Foote: History of the St. Croix Valley, page 489,494. 4 U Deeds 498 5 128 Deeds 590 6 44 Mortgages 544 7 128 Deeds 590 8 126 Deeds 265 today). The community began in 1844 when Albion Masterman made a claim for 120 acres in what was then St. Croix County, Wisconsin Territory; today it would be the southeast quarter of Section 25 (T.30N, R.21 W) on the southwest corner of Manning Avenue and County Road #12. In 1846, Thomas Ramsden made a claim in the south half of Section 24 (T.30N, R.21W). He was followed in 1847 by the missionary, William Boutwell, who settled in what is today the northwest quarter of Section 30 (T.30N, R.20W). William Rutherford made a claim in 1848 in the northeast corner of Section 25 (T.30N, R.21W). Charles Macey made his claim in Section 19 (T.30N, R.20W) in 1847. All these claims were made in the area before Minnesota became a Territory. These first settlers in the community were followed by a number of others: James Rutherford, 1850; Ebenezer and Liberty Newman, 1850; Samuel Webster, 1855; William Elliot, 1855; Hugh Byrne, 1856; John B. Taft, 1857; Amos Brosious, 1857; Thomas Ramsden, 1856; John R. Goff, 1859; Alexander Rutherford, 1865; Dominick Rutherford, 1867; Joseph Fairbanks, 1870; Fred Rosche, 1880; and others. Writing in 1969, one of the descendants of Liberty Newman wrote: "The people of the historic Rutherford Neighborhood three miles west of Stillwater, Minnesota, in Washington County, possessed character and stability that contributed strength and vitality to a young and growing nation. The lives of the people here were dominated by love of home and country, by love of the good earth and by love of God. They were hard-working, honest, and frugal. The name of Rutherford was applied to the area because of the numerical dominance of settlers by the name of Rutherford. " The neighborhood had its own newspaper, The Evening Star, which described the neighborhood in 1873: "Starting out to make a tour of the neighborhood, we first came to the farm of William Elliott, a very fine farm. Mr. Elliot is a man who sees a great deal of lumber and river life, he being a first-class pilot and often making the trip from Stillwater to St. Louis. He has a very pleasant and industrious wife and an interesting family of children. We next come to the farm of J. N. Fairbanks, a hard-working farmer and a house carpenter by trade, and, in fact, a "Jack of all trades." His wife perhaps we had better not say much about as she is the editress of this paper. They have a small family consisting of three boys. We next come to the large farm of J. B. Taft, an enterprising farmer blessed with a very agreeable wife, but no children. By industry and economy they have accumulated a large property, have a very pleasant home, and their house is a favorite resort for old and young, all feeling sure of a hearty welcome and finding amusement in social games and pleasant conversation. Adjoining this is the farm of s. R. Webster, a pleasant, genial farmer, blessed with a cheerful and industrious wife and a large family of children, mostly sons, there being only two daughters, who like their mother, are skillful and industrious. The newspaper account goes on for another five paragraphs ending with: "Thus far we have found a very pleasant and happy neighborhood. Every man, woman, and child seems to feel satisfied with his situation. Beyond the schoolhouse there is a fine, flourishing neighborhood of industrious and peaceable citizens, which we would like to visit and speak of more definitely, but time and space will not permit. A one-room school house, built in 1852, and known as the Rutherford School (District #7) was located midway between the Boutwell and Rutherford farms. The Evening Star, the community newspaper, has an account and drawing of the school with its Greek Revival style return eaves. The Neighborhood has two cemeteries, which remain today. The Rutherford Cemetery on the east side of Manning Avenue, just north of County Road #12, served as the community cemetery. The first recorded death was in April of 1851, although there may have been earlier burials. The first plat book records 82 burials. A second cemetery, which remains today on Boutwell Road as the Boutwell Cemetery, contains the remains of the Boutwell family. Gareth Heibert, a columnist for the St. Paul Dispatch, wrote of the Rutherford cemetery in the 1960's, and another article appeared in the St. Paul Pioneer Press of April 2, 1949, entitled "The Saga of Rutherford Hill." The Neighborhood had its own social club, The Priscilla Club, which held its first meeting in June, 1913. The club remains active today, extending into Stillwater. Although much of the neighborhood east of Manning Avenue (Sections 30 and 19) has been recently developed, the area retains its identity as the Rutherford Neighborhood. The recently built elementary school-part of which mimics an old one-room schoolhouse-just east of the intersection of Manning Avenue and County Road #12 is named the Rutherford Elementary School. The development associated with the school is named Liberty (for Liberty Newman) on the Lake, and it has a Rutherford Street. A main road slightly to the north is Boutwell Road, and nearby is Macey Way. Other early settlers in the Neighborhood are also commemorated in street names. There can be little question the Rutherford Neighborhood was a significant established agricultural community in this rural area from the 1840's-before Minnesota became a Territory-to as late as the 1960's when suburbanization and development destroyed a number of the farms making up the community. It is within this context we must view the significance of the farmsteads remaining from this Rutherford Neighborhood. Remaining Houses of the Rutherford Neighborhood There are, we believe, five farmsteads with houses remaining as part of the Rutherford Neighborhood. They are: the Masterman House at 7452 Manning Avenue; the Rutherford House at 7824 Manning Avenue; the Boutwell House at 12588 Boutwell Road; the Ramsden House at 11750 80th Street, and the Powell House at 11907 80th Street. The Rutherford and Boutwell Cemeteries also remain. The following books and sources contain information on the neighborhood, and should be among those consulted.

J Parks and Recreation Board DATE: August 24, 2006 ITEM: Teddy Bear Park Noise Complaints PARKS & RECREATION BOARD DATE: August 28, 2006 PREPARED BY: Michel Pogge, City Planner PJ:f"~ DISCUSSION As the board is aware the City has received a number of complaints related to noise at Teddy Bear Park. Complaints have been received from residents located above the bluff along Pine St and at the intersection of 3rd Street and Olive Street. After receiving the first series of complaints the City reduced Teddy Bear Park's hours to 8AM and 8PM. It was hoped that the season could be complete to see what effect this change would have before making any modifications to the equipment. Since the Board's last meeting a resident at 3rd Street and Olive Street has made an additional formal request to the City Council requesting that the train whistle and boat bell be removed. The Council on August 7 referred the item to the Parks Board for your review and recommendation. Staff has been in contact with the architect who designed the park. The architect is currently looking into ways to dampen the whistle and bell. Staff hopes to have this information from the architect available at your August 28th meeting. Additionally, the Stillwater Police Department has completed a noise study of the whistle and bell. Noise monitoring was completed at 101 Olive St E, 2nd and Nelson, 300 Nelson St E, 300 Second Street (above the bluff), Broadway St S at Main Street Stairs (above the bluff), and at the source. The whistle and bell were studied on two separate occasions and were found to meet the City's noise pollution requirements. A copy of the study is attached and staff will review the results with the board at your August 28th meeting. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Review and discuss the issue. Review alternatives for dampening the noise and make a recommendation to the City Council. ,;7 J?~ . , . /f fc;~1C ~,.J \"'~'1 r!)c;;J ~ August 3, 2006 Mayor Jay Kimble City of Stillwater 216 N 4th Street Stillwater Mn 55082 Mr. Kimble We are writing this letter to let you know of concerns we are having in regard to Teddy Bear Park. We are located at 101 E Olive St in the RunIc Building a 3 year old condominium (4 units ). For two years we have had to be patient and understanding with all the demolition and construction noise in building the beautiful park, However we have come to realize that some of this noise pollution will never end. With the long completion of the park finally over, we were anticipating having a more peaceful summer this year having our windows open. Weare now subjected to an unnecessary and constant clanging of a boat bell and tooting of the train horn from 8a.m. till 8 p.m. Let the children play and enjoy the park, but why is it necessary to have these constant noisemakers for the children to have fun. Even for the people visiting the park this must be annoying and unnecessary I would think. Please stop the train tooting, and let the surrounding neighbors enjoy the peace they pay for in their tax payments to the city. Our concerns are based only on having the Teddy Bear Park be an asset to Stillwater, enjoyed and appreciated by everyone that lives in Stillwater. Please take these issues seriously, Thank you for your time, James and Barbara Buggert 101 E.

The park site is located at the intersection of Second Street South and Nelson Street in the City of Stillwater and consists of 0.41 acres. The entrance is from the corner of the intersection and connected by a crosswalk to the existing public lot on the west side of Second Street. The site is part of Stillwater's historic past, originally part of the Joseph Wolf Brewery in the late 1800s before eventually becoming home to the Gordon Ironworks. In 2003, the site was acquired by the Foundation to be cleaned-up and converted to a park geared for youth ages 0 to 7 years old. Over the next few years, the Armstrongs and the City worked on planning and building this multi-million dollar park site. The overall design intent of Teddy Bear Park was to relate to and connect with the unique architectural history, landscape and character of Stillwater. Stillwater is a historic community established in 1843 and most of Stillwater's buildings date from the Victorian era and are especially visible in the historic commercial downtown to the east and north of the site and the South Hill residential area to the south. The goal was to create a park that is attractive with victorian features and accommodate interesting, entertaining and relaxing activities for parents and children. ... The park welcomes visitors with a grouping of granite "Teddy Bear" sculptures of a mother bear and cub (weighing over 20 tons), and two other cubs in various play situations. The park includes a small amphitheater, gazebo, climbing wall and tree, spider web, sandbox, and play structures featuring Stillwater's historical roots including a train, paddleboat and the famous lift bridge. The park provides sitting areas and themed play equipment for three age groups: . Infants and toddler play area for 0-3 years of age . Preschool play area for 4-5 years of age . School-age play area for 6-7 years of age In addition to the outdoor park, the Foundation renovated one of the former Joseph Wolf Brewery buildings for use by the public for meetings, parties and other events. This facility, which once was a livery stable, now provides restrooms that are accessed from the outside for use by both park visitors and people renting the building. The facility can accommodate a total of 65 people on the first floor and 30 people on the second. Both floors have kitchenettes containing a refrigerator, microwave and a sink. The park was officially transferred to the City of Stillwater on June 6, 2006. The City has taken over all day to day operation of the site including maintenance. The Foundation is providing programming support for the park in 2006 and 2007. Programs at the site have included Kindermusik musicals, story time, puppeteer programs, the Minnesota Zoo mobile, magic shows and other events. In June, July, and August of 2006, the park hosted 32 separate events, all free to the public. Funding for long term park maintenance and programming will be provided through proceeds from the rental of the building. Through the partnership of the New Stillwater Park Foundation and the City of Stillwater, the greater Stillwater community has reclaimed and preserved a piece of its history and has developed a unique park that will serve the youth of the community.

Attached is a copy of the original layout plan for Settler's Glen showing the park and a copy of the approved Prairie Park plan as approved by the Parks Board in December 2004. In March of 2006 Parks Board discusses installing a trail system in the park that would connect between Macey Way and Atwood Court. Staff is planning to develop a plan for this trail and plans to submit for the board's review in the winter 2006/ spring 2007 timeframe with development of the trail likely to occur in 2008 after the turf in the park has had an opportunity to fully develop. In addition to the dedication of the park site, grading the park site, and establishing the turf the developer was required to install the playground equipment and a baseball backstop. To date the playground equipment has been installed. The baseball backstop will likely be installed in 2008 again in order to minimize damage to the young turf. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Review and discuss the plans and provide feedback as necessary. I I I. : l 'Ii j, i ::1 I: ii I -to ~ I I II \ I ~......... 1-1..... I I' t : I I I I I , ......
