Present: Linda Amrein, chair
David Brandt, Wally Milbrandt, Cathy Sewilo and Sandy Snellman
Others: Community Development Director Steve Russell, Public Works Director
Klayton Eckles, Parks Director Tim Thomsen
Absent: Paul Donna and Rob McGarry
Ms. Amrein called the meeting to order at 7 p.m.
Approval of minutes: Mr. Milbrandt, seconded by Mr. Brandt, moved approval of the
minutes of April 25, 2005. Ms. Amrein noted a correction to the spelling of Ana Nelson's
name. Mr. Milbrandt amended his motion to approval as corrected; Mr. Brandt agreed to
the amendment. Amended motion passed unanimously.
Ms. Amrein introduced City Forester Kathy Widin who briefly outlined her
duties/services.
Munkelwitz park property final plan review: Sherri Buss, Bonestroo, Rosene and
Anderlik, reviewed changes made since the last public meeting. Changes included
moving the skating rink/warming house closer to the parking lot; providing a space for
bus passenger drop-off; some prairie plantings and utilizing native trees/shrubs; some
grading to provide a 150x220' play field; a boardwalk along the creek; and a stone path
leading to an existing conifer grove which will be utilized as a natural play area.
Ms. Amrein asked about the location of the play equipment. Ms. Buss said staff felt that
the equipment was visible enough to work in the proposed location. Ms. Snellman asked
about the location ofthe sidewalk along Neal Avenue. Mr. Eckles stated he thought when
road improvements are made that Neal Avenue will shift a little to the west, but noted
there is enough space for sidewalks on either side of the road. Mr. Brandt asked about
access for crossing the railroad tracks; Mr. Russell said staff is working on that issue.
Mr. Eckles noted that Rotary is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year and a local
Rotary Club is a talking about make a donation for improvements at this park.
Ms. Snellman moved to recommend that the City Council adopt the Creek concept for the
Munkelwitz park property as presented in its final form. Mr. Brandt said he thought the
consultants had done a good job at incorporating comments received at the last public
meeting and seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously.
Request for naming the Munkelwitz property: The City received a request that the park
be named Steven's Park in memory of the Munkelwitz's son. It was noted that the City
Council had adopted the Park Board's suggested policy regarding the naming of parks. It
was the Board's consensus that there should be more discussion and input regarding a
possible name. Mr. Milbrandt noted there . are no immediate plans for the actual
,
\
development of the park and there is plenty of time to consider a possible name in the
future. It was decided to make this an agenda item for later this year, and no action was
taken.
Request to name McKusick boardwalk trail: Sherry Mauschbaugh was present with a
request to name the McKusick Lake boardwalk in honor of her late father, David Vesall,
a lifelong resident of Stillwater who was director of fish and wildlife for the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources and who was a champion of wetlands and the
preservation of wildlife habitat. Ms. Mauschbaugh noted that her father had approached
the City Council on many occasions during his lifetime and was an originator of the
concept of a boardwalk along McKusick Lake. The family also proposed placing
educational markers at various intervals along the boardwalk informing users as to
various species/habitats etc.
Mr. Milbrandt suggested that the Board needs to consider what types of things it wants
named. He suggested that it might be appropriate for the family to consider placing a
memorial bench at the north end of the lake. Mr. Eckles said the City has been receiving
an increasing number of such requests, and he said, from a Public Works standpoint, it is
not real desirable to have specific plaques identifying City amenities/facilities because of
maintenance and other issues. Mr. Eckles said Public W orkslParks has identified 31
locations for the placement of benches, which could be purchased as memorials. Ms.
Mauschbaugh indicated the family would be amenable to the placement of a memorial
bench at the lake in lieu of naming the boardwalk. Ms. Mauschbaugh asked if the City
would be interested in pursuing the idea of placing educational identifiers along the
boardwalk, which the family would provide funding for. Mr. Thomsen agreed to work
with Ms. Mauschbaugh to pursue the educational signage.
Boutwell Cemetery site plan: Sherri Buss was present for an initial discussion regarding
possible improvements to the Boutwell Cemetery site. She provided photos and reviewed
the site topography and existing vegetation. She said there is an existing trail connection,
and she identified three possible seating places for users to take advantage of the views
afforded by the site. She said a possible structure might be a stone bench and pergola.
Any kind of play area, she said, would be minimal and fit the landscape.
There was some discussion of a wetlands area. Mr. Eckles said when Boutwell Road
improvements are made the City will need to provide additional wetlands as a project
mitigation measure and it makes sense to utilize this City-owned property which is
adjacent to the project area. Members indicated no concerns regarding that use.
Ms. Amrein asked about parking and suggested that an existing large moment very close
to Boutwell Road posed a hazard and should be moved. She also asked about
maintenance ofthe cemetery itself.
Mr. Milbrandt and Ms. Snellman agreed that this should be a very passive use area. Mr.
Russell suggested a loop trail would be a possible improvement as well as perimeter
landscaping to define the space.
F
.
Ms. Buss asked what the Board/City desired as a next step. Mr. Russell suggested that a
possible concept plan could be brought back, perhaps as part of the Brown's Creek
master trail plan.
Park benches in Pioneer Park: Warren Pladsen and his daughter, Karen, were present.
Mr. Pladsen had requested placing a memorial bench in Pioneer Park to honor his late
wife. Mr. Pladsen said in his original correspondence with the City he h ad proposed four
possible sites. He had since revised his plan to include one preferred site and one
alternate site. He stated he and his wife had spent many enjoyable times in Pioneer Park
and purchasing the bench would mean a great deal to himself and his family.
Mr. Thomsen stated there is only one potential bench site remaining in Pioneer Park and
that is reserved for Friends of Stillwater Parks. He stated the City has received so many
requests that 30 such requests have been denied in the last couple of years. He pointed
out that many large events take place in Pioneer Park restricting the amount of space for
benches. Mr. Thomsen noted there are other areas that have been identified for possible
bench locations and also noted that there currently are five benches under the pergola in
Pioneer Park that could be replaced with memorial benches, but acknowledged that was
probably not the most desirable location for a memorial bench.
The Park Board thanked Mr. Pladsen for his interest.
Kolliner Park maintenance agreement: This item was discussed briefly at the April
meeting when Jim Gannon was in attendance; Mr. Gannon was not present at the May
meeting. Mr. Milbrandt asked if the City had received any feedback regarding the current
maintenance agreement with Mr. Gannon's group, formerly called Valley Cruisers car
club. Mr. Thomsen said the group did the cleanup and the City received no complaints. It
was the consensus to continue the agreement with Mr. Gannon's group. If there is any
further discussion about the Stillwater Legion joining in the effort, the issue is to be
brought back to the Board.
StonebridgelPublic Works basketball courts: Mr. Thomsen and Mr. Eckles said in
discussions with School District 834 it has been determined that because adults are not
allowed on school grounds during school hours, it would not be wise to construct a large
basketball court at Stonebridge School. Plans for the Stonebridge basketball court include
the placement of two adult standards, and two lower standards for younger kids. Mr.
Eckles noted that the City's contribution of $30,000 toward the Stonebridge playground
project should be considered contribution enough for the District to provide two
additional standards. Therefore, there is still money in this year's budget to proceed with
the basketball court at the Public Works parks site, Mr. Eckles said. It was noted that the
new court may not be a full-size court, however. Additional information will be brought
to the Board as plans proceed.
National Guard training center update: Included in the agenda packet was a report from
Ankeny Kell which found that the Recreation Center site could accommodate a National
Guard training center/community center. Mr. Russell pointed out the updated study
doesn't mean the project is going to proceed, as the Guard has no funding at this time.
The earliest possible date that funding might be available is 2012, he said. Mr. Milbrandt
'\.
.
said the City might conduct a survey to determine what residents want to see III a
community center.
Skateboard park discussion: Mr. Russell pointed out there is $60,000 in this year's Park
budget for some type of skate park facilities. Staff has looked at possible sites, and has
had preliminary discussions with vendors. Mr. Thomsen showed photos of a facility in
Elliot Park, Minneapolis. The Elliot Park facility is a concrete model, a model that could
be installed for $40,000. It is a Tier I facility, meaning on-site supervision is not required.
Mr. Thomsen said staff had looked at the Rec Center parking lot, the grassy area in front
of the Rec Center and the City's salt/sand storage area west of Brine's and south of the
Rec Center dome as possible sites. He said the Rec Center parking lot has been
eliminated from consideration because of the slope of the site. The salt/sand storage site
has an existing asphalt slab, which could be overlaid for a cost of about $9,500, while it is
estimated that to improve the area in front of the Rec Center could cost as much as
$40,000. Mr. Eckles noted that while there are some advantages to the area in front of the
Rec Center, the salt/sand site is "ready made" and could be up and running in a short
time.
There was a question about noise. Mr. Thomsen said there would be no neighbors
affected by any of the sites in question, and he pointed out the concrete parks do not
create the noise that wooden boards do.
Mr. Brandt pointed out there is good accessibility for either the site in front of the Rec
Center or the site west of Brine's. He said considering the low cost investment for the
Brine's site, that would seem the prudent way to proceed.
Ms. Snellman moved to direct staff to pursue installation of a skateboard facility on the
City-owned property south of the Rec Center dome, west of Brine's. Ms. Amrein
seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. It was suggested that staff get inputs
from young people when selecting components.
Other items: Ms. Amrein pointed out that the Board usually takes a tour of several parks
at its June meeting. It was decided to do so again this year. Sites mentioned for inclusion
on the tour included Schulenberg Park, the trail by the Bradshaw property and the
skateboard park site. The Board will meet at 6 p.m. June 27 for a short business meeting
prior to the tour.
Mr. Milbrandt, seconded by Ms. Snellman, moved to adjourn at 9:15 p.m. Motion passed
unanimously.
Respectfully submitted,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Park and Recreation Board
Steve Russell, Community Development Director ~
FROM:
DATE: June 9, 2005
SUBJECT: Review of Millbrook Development Proposed Parks
This item was before the Park Board in February (see minutes). Since that time, the
developer has meet with the Planning commission twice. At their most recent meeting
of 5/31/05, the Planning Commission approved the development concept with nine
conditions (see attached May 26, 2005 Planning Commission staff report).
Two of the conditions relate to park and trail dedication proposed in the development.
Condition #1 calls for a trail around the south side of Twin Lake. This requirement is
consistent with the recently adopted City Trail plan. The location of the trail is
environmentally sensitive, so its design will need to address that condition.
Condition #2 calls for a full 10% dedication or 10 acres. Currently 7.4 acres of actual
park is proposed. The gap in park dedication can be accomplished through cash
payment or park improvements. With the location of the park along TH96 the portions
of the neighborhood closer to Neal A venue are a long distance from the park. Board
members may want to consider some future neighborhood park space closer to Neal
A venue to provide park space for that area.
Purpose of Meeting
The specific purpose of this review is to review park dedication requirements and make
recommendation to the City Council.

Present: David Brandt, Paul Dona, Rob McGarry, Wally Milbrandt,
Cathy Sewilo and Sandy Snellman
Others: Community Development Director Steve Russell
Absent: Linda Amrein
Acting Chair Wally Milbrandt called the meeting to order at 7 p.m.
Approval of minutes: Mr. Milbrandt moved approval of the minutes of Jan. 24, 2005.
Mr. Brandt noted a correction to a reference to Ms. Amrein in the last sentence under
other business. Mr. Milbrandt amended the motion to approve as corrected. Ms. Snellman
seconded the motion; motion passed unanimously.
Election of officers: Mr. Milbrandt nominated Linda Amrein chair and Rob McGarry
vice chair for 2005. Mr. McGarry indicated he would accept the nomination; Ms. Amrein
had indicated she would do so at the January meeting. Mr. Brandt seconded the motion;
motion passed unanimously.
Mr. McGarry presided over the remainder of the meeting.
Palmer property parks/open space/trail plan
Mr. Russell opened the discussion by briefly reviewing the City's park and trail
dedication policy and pertinent sections of the City's Comprehensive Plan, which were
included in the agenda packet. Mr. Russell noted that the Palmer property, to be known as
the Millbrook development, includes 107 acres net; a 7 A-acre park, as well as trails and
other open space amenities are proposed.
Jay Liberacki, vice president of US Homes/Orrin Thompson, developers, reviewed
pertinent sections of the development booklet. He briefly reviewed the topography of the
site and noted that the property is a part of two watershed districts - Brown's Creek and
Carnelian-Marine; the developer has been working with both districts, he said. He
reviewed the land use plan and the three types of housing. He pointed out that required
setbacks and other legislated requirements all affect the plan.
Mr. Liberacki explained that the large public park -and other amenities have migrated
from the interior of the property, as initially proposed, to the perimeter of the site. The
7 A-acre park, as currently proposed, would be located at the northwest comer of the site
off Highway 96. Mr. Liberacki suggested that location would provide a desirable park
amenity at one of the entrances to the City, as well as provide a terminus for the Brown's
Creek trail system. The park may include a gazebo, athletic fields, tot lot, walk system, as
well as several private overlook areas. He also mentioned that docks might be provided
for residents to access canoes and similar craft at South Twin Lake.
Mr. Liberacki asked the Board to consider the scale of open space as compared to other
developments in the City. He provided a number of photos of what people might see
driving by the development.
Mr. Milbrandt asked whether there would be a parking lot at the public park. Mr.
Liberacki said it was thought on-street parking would be adequate as there is about 2/3 of
a mile of street frontage; however, he said a lot could be added if required.
Judy Gulden, who was in the audience to address the Board on another issue, asked about
the use of South Twin Lake and stated she was pleased to see a trail around the lake. Mr.
Milbrandt asked of all paths/trails would be for public use. Mr. Liberacki stated, as
proposed, some of the walkways would be private.
Mr. Russell pointed out an issue for the Board to consider is whether it wants a public
trail around South Twin Lake. He said that is shown in the City's trail plan. The
development plan does not provide for that. Mr. Russell also suggested the Board may
want to consider restricting the use of the lake; he said at a recent Planning Commission
meeting, nearby residents spoke in favor of restricting the use to non-motorized craft.
Mr. Milbrandt spoke in favor a public lake trail to give as much exposure to the lake as
possible. Mr. Liberacki stated that would not be the developer's preference, noting that
the plan already provides for sharing of 75 percent of the development amenities. Mr.
Milbrandt also suggested that prospective homebuyers need to be made aware of
proposed public uses at the time of purchase, rather than after the fact.
Mr. Dona asked if open space qualifies for required park dedication. Mr. Russell said that
will be for the Board to determine. Mr. Milbrandt cautioned against accepting unusable
"nooks and crannies" as part of the 10 percent dedication requirement as was done with
the Croixwood development. Mr. Liberacki said their development's open spaces are
extremely accessible and obvious public space.
Mr. Dona asked whether the developer would provide the improvements at the public
park. Mr. Liberacki said they would be grading, seeding and doing some planting and
perhaps install a small tot lot, but it would be up to the City to provide other
improvements.
Mr. Russell pointed out that the development plan is still evolving, noting that the State
has brought up the issue of moving the access road on Highway 96, which would have a
definite impact on the park. He also pointed out that the grading plan, as submitted,
shows some trails on slopes of 12-18 percent, when 6 percent is generally the maximum
for creating trails. Mr. Liberacki said if the slopes are too great, that is not the intent and
will be corrected.
In closing comments, Mr. Milbrandt, Mr. McGarry and Mr. Brandt all spoke in favor of a
public trail around South Twin Lake. Mr. McGarry also stated he would like information
regarding the percentage of wetlands provided at a future meeting.

Revised Plans for MiJlbrook Development (Palmer Property), Lundgren
Brothers/Orrin Thompson, applicant.
Background. This development has previously been before the Planning Commission
at your meetings of February 14, 2005 and April 18, 2005 (staff report and minutes
attached) .
At those meetings! the following list of concerns were expressed:.
April 18, 2005 Planning Commission Meeting.
1. Trail along north side of South Twin Lake (called for in'revised trail plan)
2. Summit townhouses along southern portion of Brown's Creek (recommended
considering single family Glendalough along Brown's Creek Corridor)
3. Park dedication requirement (7.4 acres rather than 10 acres)
4. No public access to pond (recommended access at east and west ends)
5. Need for additional building setbacks at key corners to provide attractive
landscaped entries (Neal, Glendalough Circle and Heritage Corner)
6. Need for parking for TH 96 park
7. Better access for attached housing area to guest parking and open space
recreation areas
8. Open view for greenway corridor through site (remove one attached building)
9. Enhanced landscaping between backs fo houses and Brown's Creek, South Twin
Lake and along park/TH 96
10. Guest parking for townhouse area .
11. Meet City public street standards for all streets
February 15, 2005 Planning Commission Meeting
1. Parks acreage
2. Design of summit town homes
3. Use of lake (motors/non-motorized)
4. View of ridge buildings (row of homes on ridge)
5. Traffic on Neal Avenue
6. County plans for Manning /traffic light on 15/96
J..
..
7. Walking trail around lake
8. Impact (noise/dust) of construction
9. Plants to block and break up view of buildings
10. Street widths
11. Concern for townhouse design via Setters Glen
12. Concern for keeping specialness of site. South Twin Lake and Brown's Creek.
13. Number of housing units/attached
14. Neal Avenue improvements
15. Setbacks at corners (Neal)
16. Connect attached housing with rest of community
17. Trail connection to Neal (Comp Trail Plan)
Revised Plan. The revised plan and summary of changes are separately being
distributed to Commissioner's by the applicant. The letter of submittal is attached for
reference.
The major change in the revised plan is replacing 46 attached townhomes located along
the bluff line of Brown's Creek with 21 single family detached units (The Heritage).
This change does a couple of things, it reduced the height of the structures from three
stories to 1 story and walkout and provides significant landscaping to break up the rear
elevation of the single family residences. Additional significant landscaping is shown
along the eastern edge of The Heritage units next to South Twin Lake.
This change has eliminated the three story Summit attached single family units and
applies the Metropolitan attached single family design in locations that take advantage
of the rear garage locations and front pedestrian street scape/open space relationship.
The changes in unit composition has resulted in a distribution of units more in line with
the Comprehensive Plan land use designation (single family 65%, attached 360/0).
Other plan concerns previously mentioned that need further discussion include:
~ Trail on south side of South Twin Lake
~ 7.4 acres of park dedication (10 acres required)
~ Public access to single family pond (need better access)
~ Building setback key corners (provided)
~ Need for parking for 7.4 acres park area (40 on-street parking spaces
proVided/additional can be provided in park - Park Board).
~ Guest parking for attached (on-street spaces shown on plan, some of internal
units may need additional guest parking with closer access)
~ Open view of greenway corridor through site (attached units changed to single
family providing better visual access)

~ Enhance landscaping between backs of houses and Brown's Creek (additional
landscaping shown on concept plan, specifics needed in future review)
~ Meet City street standards. This needs to be reviewed as it relates to street width
parking and fire access. The roundabouts and road medians should also be
further reviewed for design and function.
~ A comprehensive trail plan for the site is needed showing location, type of trail,
surfacing width and for what use
Other Reviews. MnDOT controls site access to TH 96. They have reviewed the plans
and conceptually approved the roadway access location. Watershed District approval is
also required. The Watershed Districts have reviewed the concept plans as specifics are
available. Actual permit review will be required with final plat application.
Review Process. At this point in the review process, the revised plans should be
considered for recommendation to the City Council. Comments on any outstanding
concerns such as trails, street design, parks, open space, etc., should be added to the
recommendations so the applicant can respond further to the concerns. After Joint
Board and City Council approval of the concept plan, the application will come back to
the Commission for final review (annexation, PUD, subdivision, comp plan and zoning
amendment) by the Commission, Joint Board and Council before final project approval.
Recommendation: Approval of revised concept plan with conditions.

MILLBROOK DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT PLAN
Palmer Property, Stillwater, MN
Introduction
The Mil/brook development (previously known as Homestead) proposed for the Palmer property, has
been discussed and revised in recent months and receivt:d a unanimous recommendation for concept
approval from the Planning Commission on May 31. Among the conditions of approval from the
Planning Commission was review of the park issues. We are bringing the Millbrook Concept Plan to the
Park and Recreation Board for concept approval as well, so that park, trail, and open space issues can be
better understand as we prepare to take it to the Joint Planning Board in July, then to the City Council in
August.
As a Concept Plan we want to have a general understanding of the amount, location, and type of park,
trail and open space areas shown on the plan. We do not expect all details to be worked out, such as the
design of facilities in the park, exact location of trails, exact construction details of park and trail
facilities, etc. What we would like to discuss, and get the Board's recommendation for approval on, is the
size and location of the public park, the size and general location of public trails and open spaces, the size
and general location of other private park and open spaces, and agreement that the entire system
represents a fair contribution under the city's Park dedication policies. This memo and attached graphics
summarize our proposal.
Park Dedication Policies
We are presenting the park and open system in the Millbrook Concept Plan under the city's park
dedication policies, which include the following:
· 10% land dedication for residential density of2.0-3.5 units/acre (Millbrook is about 2.5 u/a)
· Community Park dedication of 3 acres per 1,000 population
· Neighborhood Park dedication of 7 acres per 1,000 population
· Up to 30% reduction in land dedication if other public and private open space is acceptable to the
city.
We believe the open space system in Millbrook easily meets and exceeds these standards.
Millbrook Park, Trail and Open Space System
The overall Millbrook Concept Plan is illustrated on the attached map, and the park, trail, and open space
system is further detailed on other graphics. The system involves a public park on the north side adjacent
to Highway 96 and major trail corridors connecting the park, Highway 96, South Twin Lake, Brown's
Creek and other internal open spaces. We propose the public park and several major trail corridors be
.. '.
Stillwater Park and Recreation Board

publicly dedicated, the remaining open space being private open space under the homeowners association
(BOA). We are open to discussing modifications to the areas that are public vs. private, but we want to
show that there is more than enough land involved to easily meet any reasonable requirements.
The overall park, trial and open space areas involved are as follows, with their percentage of the overall
109-acre site, net of wetlands, ponds, infiltration basins, and steep slopes:
Public Park
Public Trail corridors (50' wide)
Private Open Space (upland)
7.7 acres
6.3 acres
26.6 acres
7.1 %
5.8 %
24.4 %
Total
40.6 acres
37.2%
In addition, the following contribute in some manner to the open space system:
Wetlands, ponds, slopes
27.5 acres
We have also attached a graphic analyzing on-street parking in the vicinity of the townhouses and public
park to illustrate that there is more than adequate parking, even without a parking lot within the park.
Parkland Dedication Calculations
Based on the city's policies noted above, we calculate Millbrook's fair share of park land dedication as
follows. The calculations are based on 109 net acres of land and 269 units in the proposed plan.
. 10% of Land:
o 109 acres net x 10% = 10.9 acres required
o 14.0 acres proposed to be dedicated in public park and trail corridors
o 26.6 acres additional private open space
· Neighborhood Park - 7 acres per 1,000 population
· Community Park - 3 acres per 1,000 population
· Total - 10 acres per 1,000 population:
o Using Park Policy numbers (1990 Census) - 2.8 persons per household:
2.8 p. x 269 units = 753 population (75.3% of 1,000 population, or 7.53 ac.)
o Using 2000 Census - 2.64 p/HH:
2.64 p. x 269 units = 710 population (71.0%, 7.1 ac.)
o Using 2003 Met Council estimates - 2.57 p/HH:
2.57 p. x 269 units = 691 population (69.1 %, 6.91 ac.)
o Using DSU estimates based on actual units to be built* - 2.11 p/H:
2.11 p. x 269 units = 568 population (56.8%, 5.68 ac.)
* Glendalough SF: 2.8 p/HH; Heritage SF: 1.8/HH; Metropolitan attached: 1.6 p/HH
As the numbers indicate, using the 10% overall figure we provide more than enough land with the
combined park and trail corridor dedication (14.0 ac.). The public park by itself (7.7 ac.) meets the 70%
rule. Using the highest population and household numbers from the City's policy, Millbrook's population
would only require combined Neighborhood and Community parks of 7.53 acres. The public park we
propose is larger than this - 7.7 acres. In addition, we propose dedicating the major trail corridors, as well
as providing substantial other private open space. If we used the more recent population and household
numbers Millbrook's share of public park land dedication would be lower, perhaps as low as 5.68 acres.

Conclusion
The Millbrook project has been discussed at great lengths by the Lundgren team and we believe we have
addressed the most important issues previously discussed.
The Concept includes 269 units total, down from 298 and 284 units previously, and down from 388 we
believe is allowed under the City's Land Use Plan. We have achieved this by replacing the southerly row
of townhouses with single family on the west end of the site. This will not only reduce the overall density
but will create a better edge condition, the single family homes in this area being single level plus
walkout, rather than the three-level townhomes proposed earlier.
We have shown an extensive trail plan along South Twin Lake and Browns Creek. We have not shown a
trail all the way around South Twin Lake, but believe the overall park and trail plan will provide more
than enough options for walkers and bicyclists to get to the various recreational features in the area. If the
city insists on a trail on the south side of South Twin Lake, we would allow it to happen, but would
request that it be placed at the toe of the slope near the lake and not in the back yards of single family
homes. We believe that this will be difficult or impossible to engineer without significant interference
with the trees, wetlands, or the lake itself.
The features that we had included previously are still in the plan, meeting DNR's open space PUD
calculations, providing buffering and screening at the edges, traffic calming along the main internal street,
and others.
The current plan now contains fewer units in a more sensitive arrangement than any the city has seen or
suggested for the site. The overall park, trail and open space system provides more than adequate land
and opportunities for active and passive recreation in a unique setting. We look forward to discussing it
with you.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Klayton Eckles, Director of Public Works \(12:./
DATE: June 3, 2005
SUBJECT: Final Improvements to Legends Park
DISCUSSION
Attached is an email received from the Legends Homeowners Association indicating a
willingness to participate in park improvements. The City has been in the process of
upgrading Legends Park. At a meeting with the neighborhood, the residents in the area
indicated a willingness to participate in the cost of providing additional improvements
beyond what the City had originally intended.
As discussed in the email, the Homeowners Association is willing to put $4,500 towards
construction of a bituminous path. Also, the Homeowners Association will purchase a
number of trees to enhance the landscaping of the park. Given that the trail improvements
will enhance the park and the City has money in its park improvement fund this year, we
could complete these additional trail improvements for a cost of about $9,000. The City
share would only be $4,500 or Yz of the cost. The Homeowners Association would see to it
that the trees are planted all at its expense.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council approve the expenditure of$9,000 upon receiving a $4,500
donation from the Legends Homeowners Association for the construction of a bituminous
path in Legends Park

Tim,
For now, we are able to commit about $4500 to the cost of the path, plus the purchase of the blossoming trees along the
path upon completion. Please let me know what the final plans are for paths for the City as soon as you can.
Thanks,

Re: Resolution Requesting Limitations on
Motorized Watercraft on South Twin Lake
TKDA Project No. 13285.000
Dear Mr. Russell:
On May 12,2005, the Stillwater Town Board adopted a resolution requesting that the City of
Stillwater and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources limit the usage of South Twin
Lake to non-motorized watercraft. The Board understands the resource limitations of the lake
including its small size, shallow depth, and muddy bottom and would not lend itself to motorized
use. In addition, with the impending U.S. Homes development to the west of South Twin Lake,
there could be increased pressure to use the lake for recreation. For these reasons, the Town
Board would strongly urge the City to limit the usage ofthe lake to non-motorized watercraft
such as canoes, kayaks, small sailboats, and padd1eboats propelled by human power.
We appreciate your consideration of this request. If you need other information or further
explanation regarding this action, please call me at 651/292-4474.
Sincerely,
~t5.~

Skateboard Park Construction
Background. The Capital Improvement Program for 2005 has $60,000 for a
skateboard facility.
The Parks and Recreation Commission and staff has reviewed various possible City sites
that could accommodate a skateboard facility and recommend the City owned site just
west of Brine's and south of the dome as the best site.
Reasons for recommending the location is compatibility with surrounding uses,
exposure to surrounding streets, availability of existing asphalt pad and use of space in
winter for overflow Recreation Center parking.
The 2+ acres site can easily accommodate the 50' x 160', 8,000 square foot skateboard
park.
The facility would include the asphalt pad, 42' - 48' fencing around the pad, driveway
and parking improvement (grade). The costs of the site work and pad improvements is
estimated at $15,000 maximum. This leaves $45,000 available for skateboard modules.
It is recommended at this point that $25,000 - $30,000 would be used to purchase
modules (ramps, street elements, quarter pipes, rails and banks) for this year.
Depending on the use and success of the park, additional modules could be purchased
at a later date.
It is suggested that seating be provided for visitors or parents (see concept skateboard
plan attached).
It is estimated at this point a total of $45,000 be authorized for site work and purchase
of skateboard modules. The Parks and Recreation Commission at their meeting of May
23, 2005 recommended the Recreation Center site and purchase of equipment as
determined by City staff and skateboard uses.
Recommendation: Approval of $15,000 maximum for site improvements and
$30,000 for skateboard components (resolution). GV /'

Skateboard Park Components
Two skateboard park layouts are submitted for approval. One is using City funds only
for $29,999.85. A second design for $59,999.76 contemplates nonprofit donation
assistance in funding the facility.
At this point, we are asking for approval of both bids. The higher bid based on a
donation. The City funds for the facility is in the 2005 CIP.
Recommendation: Approval of both bids, the higher the bid based on donation
assistance.

Consideration of Approval of Munkelwitz Property Park Plan
The Park and Recreation Commission held two public hearings to consider park
improvement plans for the Munkelwitz Property. The meetings were advertised, noticed
and attended by a good representation of neighborhoods.
The Munkelwitz Property is adjacent to and an extension of the Brown's Creek Natural
Area as well as a needed neighborhood park for the Oak Glen/Creekside Crossing
neighborhoods.
Sherri Buss and Anna Nelson from Bonestroo and Associates assisted the Park and
Recreation Commission and City staff in developing the plan.
The attached plan and preliminary budget provide direction for park improvement that
can be used in programming phased improvements. Sherri Buss will attend the Council
meeting and present the plan. As can be seen, the plan provides play areas for two age
groups, 2-5 and 5-12 and shade pavilion picnicking. Two play areas, a 150' x 220' size
area is located iin the northwest quadrant of the site for junior soccer or T-ball practice.
A more informal "front yard" play area is provided between Neal and the play areas.
It is anticipated that some visitors to the park will drive requiring a small parking
area/bus drop off (winter high school trail skiing).
An ice rink and warming house is shown on the north side of the railroad tracks with an
improved parking area. The north side would remain the main parking area for trail
use.
The trail system contained the Munkelwitz Property Park connects to Brown's Creek,
Creekside Crossing (existing) and Neal trail (proposed).
The City Parks and Recreation Commission recommended approval of the plan at their
meeting of May 23, 2005.
The $667,000 cost estimate is provided as an overall estimate for off the shelf costs.
Many times these costs can be reduced by combining improvements with related City
projects, use public works crews or through volunteer or fund raising projects.
Recommendation: Approval of Munkelwitz Property Park plan.
