Motion passed unanimously. NEW BUSINESS ADOPT A TRAIL PROGRAM Klayton Eckles, Director of Public Works and Parks Secretary Beth Neeck put together an Adopt A Trail program for Stillwater trails. Two groups have approached staff interested in the program thus far. Board member Snellman will mention this program to the Stillwater Youth Service Bureau who is looking for sites for students to do community work service. The Bureau will supervise the students. HISTORIC STILL WATER BRIDGE MONUMENT Mr. Karl Weissenborn, a landscape architect, is part ofthe MnDot committee working on the $5 million renovation ofthe lift bridge. As part of that project it is proposed to commemorate the brid~e with a monument in Lowell Park. Mr. Weissenborn presented the Sept 18t and October 6t\ 2003, concept plans both of which are generally the same plan except the October 6th plan has a footing detail change. History was given how the process for the monument was designed. $10,000 was allocated for this project. The design process resulted in the selection of Concept Z. The proposal is to have a low podium, which is about 2Y2 feet in height and two small wing walls on either side of the walk to the main flag overlook. Graphics and medium were presented. Plans will be available to contractors in August 2004 and work should start in late summer 2005 for the rehabilitation of the bridge. Once the monument is finished a maintenance agreement will be needed with the City of Stillwater. . . . Motion made by Board Member Flinn seconded by Board Member Amrein to accept the plans of the interpretive sign age for the Stillwater Lift Bridge. Motion passed unanimously. GORDON SITE Council accepted a donation from Tom Armstrong to design and construct a park in the City of Stillwater. The park concept will be presented to the Park Board at their November meeting. It is currently going through the Historic Preservation Commission and Planning Commission. Some of the park will be designed for revenue-generating opportunities for park maintenance. OLD BUSINESS SETTLERS GLEN PARK Community Development Director Russell stated that the play equipment the developer has selected goes beyond what our park dedication policy states. The plan includes a smaller park being designated the neighborhood park and includes a playground structure. The larger park is the active park where the soccer field and junior ball field will be located. There is also 312 miles of trails in this development. Another park area is located in the townhome area of the development and the Brown's Creek Nature Preserve is located in the north. Also, a City park is located across Boutwell Road next to the Public Works facility. There was discussion about handicap accessible playground equipment. BANDSHELL USE POLICY The guidelines for the use of Pioneer Park bandshell were discussed. No reservations will be allowed on 4th of July, Memorial Day or Labor Day. No sponsor promotional signage will be allowed in the park. Events are not to exceed three hours excluding setup and takedown. Sponsor shall be non-profit. The event shall be free and open to the public. Sponsors are allowed to ask for free will donations during the event. A letter will be sent to notify surrounding residents ofthe draft bandshell policy and allow input at the November 24th Park Board meeting. The Board recommended increasing the refundable damage deposit to $100. OLD ATHLETIC FIELD Community Developer Russell provided information on the status of the Old Athletic Field lighting. Dave Magnuson, City Attorney is researching the rights the City has on the property and the relationship of the school ownership with the City. This will be presented to Council at their next meeting. ~ " . . . TOBACCO FREE POLICY Council decided against the policy at their October 21 st meeting however due to miscommunication the item was tabled to their next meeting so representatives could make a presentation to Council. PUBLIC WORKS BASKETBALL COURT Continued to a later meeting. OTHER BUSINESS Community Developer Russell stated that the tennis court lights were installed and working in Staples Park. It was discussed that the basketball hoops weren't moved from Staples Park to Lily Lake Park because the backboards didn't fit the structure they needed to go on so instead new nets were installed. Council Member Milbrandt reported that the railing was constructed and was waiting to be rust coated on the McKusick Ravine Trail stairway entrance. Board Member Flinn reported that the Amundson Woods event with the Stonebridge Elementary students went very well. Horses drug out about 100 trees. Many people turned out for the event. Chairperson Polehna raised the question why was the prairie grass mowed in the Brown's Creek Nature Preserve and that there are conflicting uses for this area, prairie grass and Frisbee golf. Community Developer Russell asked the Board to look for some skateboard enthusiasts who are looking for skateboard facilities and want to work with us to develop a skateboard facility. The next Park Board meeting is scheduled for November 24th. The December Parks Board meeting will be rescheduled for Monday, December 15,2003 in the City Council Chambers at 7:00 p.m. ADJOURNMENT Motion made by Board Member McGarry seconded by Board Member Snellman to adjourn the meeting at 8:30 pm. Respectfully submitted, Beth Neeck Parks Secretary . Memo To: From: Date: Subject: Pa rks Boa rd Steve Russell, Community Development Director November 20, 2003 Downtown Area Plan Update (CPAj03-01) ~ Background. In July, the Downtown Plan Update process began with a kickoff meeting of design processionals to brainstorm opportunities for use of the heart of the Downtown. (The area bounded by Myrtle, Main, Mulberry and the St. Croix River.) It became apparent from the discussion that this area was a valuable piece of ground and could become a major contributor to the visual attractiveness and public enjoyment of the Downtown. . The initial design meeting resulted in many initial concepts, comments and some sketches of what the area could look like in the future. That initial meeting was followed up with meetings with City Committees and Commissions (Planning, Heritage Preservation, Parks and Downtown Parking) and the Downtown businesses and property owners. At those meetings Downtown planning issues and objectives were discussed (D-l attached). Comments were received about the significance of the area and its importance located between Main Street and the river. Concern was expressed for flood protection, parking structure and the current lack of attractiveness of the area. From the Committee meeting and Downtown Business interests meeting, a Coordinating Committee was established to work with the consultants and staff to develop a draft plan (see Coordinating Committee members list and Plan Alterntatives A-l, 2 and 3). The Coordinating Committee meet in September and October to discuss a future vision for this Center Downtown location and to address concerns and priority use of the area. After much discussion, concerns and information exchange a consensus plan was recommended for future consideration. The consensus plan is Plan "D" attached. Plan D Summary ~ Plan D expands the Lowell Park area by .76 acres and extends the park to Water Street. ~ Plan D organizes and consolidates parking into three public areas that accommodates 154 public parking spaces and 110 private parking spaces (currently . 440 parking spaces). . . . ~ Plan D provides the opportunity for a visitor center/restroom/hospitality center for Downtown visitors. ~ Plan D locates a liner landscaped trail connects the area to the north and south Main Street areas. ~ Plan D locates an invisible flood wall along Myrtle and Water Streets. ~ Plan D provides for a strong pedestrian connection between Main Street and the river. ~ Plan D is designed to accommodate community festivals, farmers market, and special arts and crafts events. ~ Plan D provides a plan for the expansion of Lowell Park so park improvements can be made in 2004. Attached to this report are the alternative plans that were not selected A, Band C along with a brief description of key components of the alternatives (B-1 attached). Parking has long been a priority need for the Downtown. Plan D reduces the supply of parking by 176 spaces. The idea is to replace the lost spaces with a parking structure west of Main Street possibly and 2nd and Mulberry or between the Lowell Inn and Rivertown Commons at the end of Commercial Street. It may make sense to phase improvements to minimize the loss of parking (see E-1 attached). Parks Board Action. As an element of the Downtown Plan, the action before the Parks Board is review, comment and recommendation to the City Council. .

I /) T ?L-~ r> Cbr7 Le,e rJ-S Over the years, the following observations have been expr . .". about the Downtown . . . and the study area and may be useful in considering the future of the area: How can we better connect Main Street with its cultur(,ll, historic and commercial activities with the river and its recreational and scenic~beauty. Provide parking and reduce the visual impact of parking. Lack of pedestrian amenities, trails, restrooms, information. Lack of landscaping between Main Street and the river. Minimize separation between park and downtown created by new flood wall. Create framework for special events regional, community and neighborhood. Need restroom and visitor information. Public/private partnerships. Maintain historic context and fit into physical environment. Preserve river views. Connect study area to surrounding downtown areas and neighborhoods. Protect rail corridor for future possible people mover use. Accommodate auto circulation and access. Create pedestrian landmark and meeting place. Others Plan Objective Visually and physically connect Main Street with the St. Croix River and Lowell Park. Reduce the visual impact of parking while providing parking opportunities. Provide pedestrian amenities such as landscaping, restrooms, trials and sidewalks and small and large scale meeting and event areas. Improve area appearance Provide 100 years flood protection Provide setting location and design for special Downtown festivals and events. . Fit into and complement the natural and historic/cultural setting of the study site. . Meet dty parking obligations to Valley Co-op and Lumber Bar6n's: Link study are to surrounding downtown areas with pedestrian improvements. Secure city owned planing area lands for public use. Preserve railroad corridor as pedestrian corridor and long term pOSSible transit corridor. Coordinate planned area improvements and activities with surrounding businesses. Develop logical implementation strategy and phasing as an element of the plan. . . .
