Special event - Art in the Park, Sunday August 21 5t CITY HAll: 216 NORTH FOURTH STillWATER, MINNESOTA 55082 PHONE: 651-430-8800 City of Stillwater Parks and Recreation Board Feb. 28,2005 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 ofwetIands provided at a future meeting. Stonebridge playground A memo from Mr. Russell indicated the 2005 budget for capital park improvements is $70,000, with $60,000 designated for a skateboard park. Mr. Russell stated a decision on the City's application for a Community Development Block Grant, which included a number of line-item park improvements, including about $70,000 for the Stonebridge playground, should be made in within the next month. However, Mr. Russell indicated he is not optimistic the City will receive the full grant request. Several members of the Stonebridge parent fund-raising committee were in attendance. Mr. Milbrandt noted the Board is supportive of the request for assistance; it is a matter of finding a funding source. He said when the City hears about the grant application, the Board can made a decision. Mr. Milbrandt asked about the possibility of a phased commitment from the City. Rich Tregilgas, Stonebridge committee co-chair, noted that plans are to install the playground structures on Aug. 20 and pointed out that most vendors do business with a committee such as theirs on a cash-and-carry basis. Mr. Tregilgas suggested that perhaps the basketball component, which the Board would like to see but is not included in the initjal playground plans, may be a phased-in funding pIece. Mr. Milbrandt said he would like to see what, if any, block grant money the City receives before making a decision as to how to proceed. Mr. Tregilgas asked about a timetable. Mr. Russell stated the City should know about the grant request by the March Park Board meeting; the soonest the Board's recommendation could go before the Council would be April. The Stonebridge request will be an agenda item for the Board's March meeting. McKusick Lake trail extension This item was on the agenda at the request of Mr. Milbrandt. He briefly updated the Board on a situation stemming from a parcel at the east end of the lake, which is needed to make the trail connection. He stated the City does have a certain amount of easement over the parcel in question. However, there are some litigation issues. He said staff has indicated it would be appropriate for the Board to consider whether to make a recommendation to proceed with the issue. Ms. Snellrnan moved to recommend that the City Council proceed with necessary steps to make the McKusick Lake trail connection. Mr. Dona seconded the motion; motion passed 5-0 (Mr. Brandt left at 8:30 p.m.). Lumberjack Days advisory committee update Mr. McGarry, who served as the Board's representative on the committee, gave a brief update on the committee's recommendations. He said initially there was discussion of encouraging the use of South Lowell Park for kids' and family activities; however, that was not in the final recommendations forwarded to the Council. The committee's recommendations include eliminating all activities in Lowell Park on Sunday; moving concert start times one hour ahead, so concerts conclude at 10 p.m. He suggested there still will be issues regarding policing and the beer garden. There was a general discussion of the event. Mr. Milbrandt expressed some of his concerns regarding media publicity, site plans and the beer garden area. Ms. Snellman thanked Mr. McGarry for serving on the committee. Park planning updates Included in the agenda packet were memos from Planner Sue Fitzgerald summarizing neighborhood meetings with residents near Settlers Glen Park and Schulenberg Park, as well as a summary of comments received at the first meeting for the planning of the park area at the Munkelwitz property. Mr. Russell referred to an item in the Settlers Glen meeting regarding the naming of the park. He suggested that the Board consider developing a policy regarding naming/dedication of parks. Mr. Milbrandt suggested names should have an historical connection. Mr. Russell said natural resources or environmental features also would be appropriate to consider in naming. Mr. McGarry asked if other communities have such a policy. Mr. Russell said he would look into that and report back. Mr. Milbrandt said the Munkelwitz meeting illustrates the importance of designating parks/trails and other amenities in development plans before the development is occupied. Otherwise, he said, it becomes a matter of not-in-my-backyard. Other items Judy Gulden, a member of Friends of Stillwater Parks, asked that the Board consider the idea of putting together a parks booklet. The booklet might include maps, old photos, historical narratives of the park properties, etc. She provided a letter outlining her request. Ms. Gulden also noted Friends of Stillwater Parks is celebrating its loth anniversary; she briefly enumerated several special events that are planned in the coming months. Mr. Milbrandt suggested the City's new web site might be an appropriate place, both to highlight parks and to use to inform the public of Friends of Stillwater Parks' activities/events. Mr. Dona asked for a clarification of Stonebridge's share of the block grant money, asking if all the grant money would go to the playground request. Mr. Russell stated Stonebridge's part of the request is about $70,000. Mr. Milbrandt said there was a comment made during the Munkelwitz property meeting about providing wireless Internet access in parks and suggested that is an issue the Board might want to think about for the future. Mr. Dona asked if the Millbrook developers could be required to install and pay for improvements to the public park. Mr. Russell said that is something the Board could consider in future negotiations and discussions with the developers. Adjournment: Ms. Snellman, seconded by Mr. McGarry, moved to adjourn at 9:20 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Sharon Baker Recording Secretary .

The following is a list of the projects that were recommended for funding: 1. Washington County Owner-occupied Rehabilitation Program 2. City of Lake Elmo, Cimarron Gas Service Rehabilitation 3. City of Landfall, sidewalk, Curb and Gutter Replacement 4. City of Cottage Grove, Crestview/79th Street Sidewalk Installation 5. Lee and Rose Warner Nature Center, Accessibility Improvement 6. Woodbury Community Land Trust, The Village at City Walk 7. Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity, Retreat at Garden Gate-Woodbury 8. Two Rivers Community Land Trust, Acquisition and Rehabilitation Project These projects are now the basis of the 2005 Annual Action Plan and have been released for a public comment period from March 8, 2005 to April 26, 2005, when the County Board will vote whether to approve the 2005 Annual Action Plan.

Tim, We (SCVBA) propose to make some improvements to the Croixwood/Northland upper field, at no cost to the City of Stillwater, and subject to the approval of the City of Stillwater's Park Board, the following. 1) Cut in a larger infield. 2) Add Ag-lime to grade. 3) Provide weed control where necessary. 4) Add new benches on both sides. 5) Add new backstop or add onto to the existing backstop. 6) Add bases and pegs for a 12 year distance @ 67.50 to 75.00 feet. Tim, I know you cannot approve this. We would provide all the work and materials. Can we make this proposal to the Park Board, without seeming to be too pushy? I understand this would not give us exclusive access to the field, once improved. Best Regards, Pocky John J.

Subject: McKusick Lake I received a call and met with a gentleman today by the name of Tony Mudder, who lives on McKusick Lake right behind Nancy Brown's old trolley station home. Tony is interested in having the canoe access, which was in the plan for the park across from Gannon's developed. He has also spoken with the DNR about stocking bass into the lake and they will not do that until there is a fishing pier for the public on the lake. The lake has previously been stocked with pan fish as part of their fishing in the neighborhood program. He also discussed aerating , the lake. He also inquired about the dredging that was to be completed on Lake McKusick, as part of the watershed project. Steve, I told him that I would like him to discuss his ideas with the parks commission and that he needed to discuss the dredging with Klayton.

MEMORANDUM TO: Park Board Klayton Eckles, Director of Public Works ~ FROM: DATE: April 25, 2005 SUBJECT: Proposal to Install Park Benches in Pioneer Park DISCUSSION The Park Board just received a request to install additional memorial park benches in Pioneer Park. In the past the City staff has turned down a number of requests for additional memorial benches in the park. Instead we have suggested that interested parties supply a memorial bench in other locations where the City has a great need for benches. Before approving this proposal for additional benches in the park, staff recommends that the Park Board consider the following. . The City has a need for approximately 8 new benches downtown The City has a desire to install another dozen or so benches in other various parks. The City has numerous locations along trails that could use additional benches. There are currently 5 benches without backs under the pergala in Pioneer Park that are not memorial benches and could be. All in all there are 40-50 locations in town for memorial benches, which could be installed. Additional benches in Pioneer Park could conflict with the steep slopes of the parks or trashcan locations. . . . . . Given that there is no shortage of existing benches in Pioneer Park, nor is there a shortage of locations for other memorial benches, staff recommends that the Park Board encourage interested parties to consider other locations for the city for a memorial bench. Also as a other alternative, the five benches that don't have backs and currently not memorial benches could be replaced with a memorial bench. Then the non-memorial benches could be moved to other locations in the city. Tim Thomsen has reviewed the bench placement in Pioneer Park and has determined that there could possibly be one more bench added to Pioneer Park. Tim and myself will both be present at the May Park Board meeting if the Park Board wishes to discuss this issue farther.
