Potential spring high water update Commission Items/Topics City of Stillwater Parks and Recreation Commission Dec. 27, 2010 Present: Linda Amrein, chair David Brandt, Scott Christensen, Rob McGarry, Mike Polehna and Solveg Peterson Staff present: Tim Moore, Assistant Public Works Superintendent Absent: Sandy Snellman Ms. Amrein called the meeting to order at 7 p.m. Approval of minutes Mr. Brandt, seconded by Ms. Peterson, moved approval of the minutes of Nov. 22, 2010, as submitted. ACTION ITEMS Lowell Park skating rink — Mr. Moore noted that minutes of meetings where the Commission consider previous requests for a skating rink in Lowell Park were included in the agenda packet. He said the one time a rink was flooded in Lowell Park, it met with limited success, primarily due to the quality of the ice. He said he thought the best location would be at the north end of the park, just south of Mulberry Point, in the gravel; he noted there is a hydrant in relatively close proximity to that location. He said he would likely buy some white poly paper to put down over the gravel to retain the water and said it would be relatively inexpensive to purchase the poly. Mr. Brandt asked about the amount of staff time involved. Mr. Moore said getting the area prepared would likely required about one -half day of staff time, with another quarter of a day to lay the poly. Once the area is prepared, he said crews are out flooding rinks on a regular basis. He did note there is not a lot of lighting in the proposed location. Mr. McGarry and Mr. Polehna spoke of previously proposals. There was discussion of the size; Mr. Moore said the rink likely would be about 60' by 100'. Ms. Peterson suggested signage indicating no hockey or no pucks. Ms. Amrein said she thought it would be a good idea if it gets used. Mr. Moore noted that depending on what happens with the Corps of Engineers project, there might not be a place to have a rink in Lowell Park in the future. Mr. Christensen asked about the reason for the proposal; Mr. Polehna said the issue was raised by a gentleman who thought this would be a good location. Ms. Peterson said she thought not having skating downtown was a big deficit. Mr. Christensen asked about rinks for non - hockey use. Mr. Moore stated there are rinks at Northland, Legends, Benson, Oak Park School, Old Athletic Field and Triangle parks; Northland has the only rink with hockey boards, he said. Mr. Christensen questioned the target audience, whether it was for the downtown condos; in discussion, Ms. Peterson suggested with proper planning, this has the potential of being a big draw for the downtown area. Ms. Amrein moved to approve the downtown ice skating rank in north Lowell Park as presented. Ms. Peterson seconded the motion. It was noted there won't be a lot of amenities this year; Mr. McGarry and Mr. Polehna both spoke in favor of focusing on making this a decent size sheet of ice. Motion passed unanimously. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS Long Lake Natural Area — Mr. Moore spoke of some improvements made to date, including buckthorn removal and widening the access. He said he has talked with Karen Kill from the Brown's Creek Watershed District, and was told the district does have some money budgeted for some prairie restoration. Mr. Moore said he would like to come up with some kind of a schedule for improvements and possibly schedule a public meeting with neighbors. Mr. Moore Park and Recreation Board Minutes December 27, 2010 Page 2 of 2 said he had received several calls with positive feedback while crews were out there working, and said he thinks people would like some improvements, such as a trail, in the area. Mr. Moore said he would try to have Ms. Kill at the next Commission meeting to discuss options. Ms. Amrein asked if anything had been done regarding the Commission opening; Mr. Moore said he would talk with Clerk Ward after the first of the year. Mr. Brandt asked if there was anything new with the Zephyr land; Mr. Moore said he hadn't heard anything. There was discussion of the downtown TIF (Tax Increment Financing) district and possible funding for the pedestrian plaza improvements. There was discussion of how TIF districts work. Meeting was adjourned at 7:30 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Sharon Baker Recording Secretary Ater 'h .. — B . p. ' H° 1. A t: F O F Id I N N F S 0 r A Memo To: Parks and Recreation Commission From: Tim Moore, Assistant Public Works Superintendent -Jo . Date: February 23, 2011 Re: Request to Donate Benches BACKGROUND Bruce Were, 1314 Meadowlark Drive, has requested to donate two benches to be installed on the north side of McKusick Lake near the intersection of Mckusick Road and Amundson Drive (see Aerial photo). He is proposing a precast exposed aggregate concrete bench manufactured by dominion precast (see attached photo). DISCUSSION At this time the only program the city has in place for bench donations is through the Friends of Parks. This bench design does not fit with current standards used by the Parks Department. This would be a good time to continue researching different products and finalizing our park standards. We also have the opportunity to develop a donation program to handle situations like this. STAFF RECOMMENDA7riON The Parks and Recreation Commission should decide whether to accept the donation from Mr. Were.

Please place this item on the agenda. 1 would rather not speak or be on public record for this matter. 1 am requesting a yes or no vote - on this night - for my purchase and donation to the City of Stillwater. Park Benches for Citv Land - Not a Citv Park or Trail I would like to purchase two (2) benches and donate them to the City of Stillwater for a designated placement. The benches we wish to purchase are pre cast concrete from domin ion precast. com ( attached ) These concrete benches have a polished top, weigh 350lbs, virtually indestructible and are very beautiful. I have chosen not to purchase the benches through the Friends of Stillwater Parks for several reasons. Period. I understand through an email sent to us from the City Attorney - Dave Magnusen, that there is no contract or written policy with The Friends of Stillwater Parks and the City of Stillwater. ( attached.) The area in which I would like to have these benches placed in not in or near a park or directly next to a trail but is on city land. The location is on a elevated knoll overlooking McKusick Lake to the south of the intersection of McKusick Road and Amundson Drive - a short distance off of the trail. Because of the street work that is planned for Amunsdon Drive this summer, it is my opinion that concrete and or bituminous would be available for anchoring and any cost to the city would be minimal. Myself and my family would volunteer for maintenance of this site. As with the two existing concrete benches on Meadowlark Drive ( on city property ) I see these proposed benches as a great addition to view McKusick Lake. Current and future generations will have everything to gain from this simple gift to the City of Stillwater.

The compelling reason for their formation was to receive and administer a large gift made by Jennifer Easton for the betterment of Pioneer Park. Most of the play equipment now in that park was purchased with those funds. Gradually, the Friends began developing standards for the installation of both Pavers and Benches in Pioneer Park, and eventually were given control over the type of pavers and benches to be placed in all the parks. The records that I have show that Tim Thompson was the contact for the City and Judy Gulden and Colleen Eddy were the contacts for the Friends. Although I searched my office and had Diane Ward search City files, I find no written contract or agreement that defines this policy or the relationship between the City and the Friends. Tim Moore, who has taken over for Thompson, tells me that annually he gets a bill from Rose Floral for plantings done by the Friends, but he is not sure where the flowers were planted. He also hears from Colleen occasionally regarding the placement of a bench. Tim and I think that it would be a good idea to review the relationship and perhaps have a written memo that would be available to the public. Perhaps the best way to initiate a review would be for Bruce to ask to be placed on the agenda for the next Park Board meeting. His desire to place memorial benches of his choice on City property would certainly frame the issue. And, if someone from the Friends could be invited, the Park Board could give direction for the future. We could then prepare a short written agreement for going forward. Tim Moore can be reached at 275 -4102. Let me know if you need more from me on this. Dave David T.

Date: February 23, 2011 Re: Croixwood Natural Areas Prairie Restoration BACKGROUND On the Parks and Recreation Commission tour last summer, the commission toured the natural areas along the east side of Long Lake. The potential for developing a natural walking trail was discussed on site, since then other natural locations in the neighborhood has been explored (see map). The City of Stillwater has been working with the Browns Creek Watershed District on developing a prairie restoration program in the Crioxwood neighborhoods for these walking trails. DISCUSSION The restoration project would consist of killing the turf grass and restoring with native prairie grasses. The City would then establish turf grass trail through these areas 8' -10' wide similar to the trails in the Browns Creek Nature Preserve. This will enable the City to cut down on the areas we mow on a regular basis, reducing fuel consumption and cost, staff time can be used for other activities and create more trails for neighborhood to use. Karen Kill from the Brown's Creek Watershed District will be present at the meeting to give a presentation and answer any questions. The Watershed District has budgeted for this project in 2011. STAFF RECOMMENDATION If the Parks and Recreation Commission wish to pursue this project further, the Commission should schedule an open house for an upcoming meeting to gather input from the neighborhood. • SI NITS ici i' %i - (•`:1_ i� •/: -- . — — POND r �' • `�=� • 1,;;;/c``4 � ` ^+ _ /��� � • i ' • \ � J •, �. ���`� R:IW R'uH" ft19W I 'r� J , • r� ^ "T J • • • f !-� • •' �`r� All my nn �� (� ,I- �Nt,�,1p I {� • , J p `I i\ ntil.uema • • . f I p r�) b .I • I �^ ' • i • • • • I I _ 7301 r_w r_Hv _ --_ i TIN III \ aO t i Vicinity Map \6�=— • • +•j• •1 , — _ ��J • ~ � e _ o- if LIJ I� !�; 7 • e - �� � �.

Attached you will find a cost estimate for initial installation as well as two additional years of maintenance. I've also attached a custom seed mix for the City that I believe will result in a successful stand of prairie based on the site conditions. The cost estimate assumes that a contractor would be hired to do all work - from start to finish. If the City was able to complete mowing and spot spraying of herbicide, the cost estimate could be lowered by taking out those tasks. The project outlined in the cost estimate provided would result in a high -end restoration project. If you feel the cost is higher than expected, let me know and I will make some modifications to reduce the cost (mostly by modifying the seed mix). Prescribed burning is included in the total cost, but is optional. This item could be removed to further reduce the total project cost if needed. Please take a look at the information provided, and call or e-mail Karen Kill or I with any questions. I would be happy to make any modifications you see fit. Sincerely, Amy Amy L.

DISCUSSION Staff has reviewed the site and has come up with a few location issues. 1. Potential impact on neighboring properties 2. Parking 3. Fencing 4. Maintenance of the site such as mowing of the tall grass The property is located in Stillwater Township. Shawn Sanders, Public Works Director has contacted Stillwater Township's planning department. While not opposed to the idea of a dog park on this property the Township would like to see a plan of how the dog park would be developed. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff is looking for direction from the Parks and Recreation Commission on whether to pursue the potential for a temporary Dog Park on the Armory site. If the Commission wants to continue staff will work with the friends of Stillwater Area Dog Park and Stillwater Township on development of a temporary Dog Park. i "I ter . .. P ... ` ._ a; A '!

Date: February 23, 2011 Re: South Lowell Park Improvements Update BACKGROUND As part of the Lowell Park improvement plan staff presented a memo regarding improvements to the Lowell Park Bathrooms at the July 26, 2010 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting. Staff was instructed to present the improvement to the City Council and recommended that the council enter in to an agreement Mark S. Balay, AIA from BALAY ARCHITECTS to develop some preliminary plans that could be used to research the feasibility of these improvements. DISCUSSION Mark Balay has finished the plans and I have been working with a local contractor developing a preliminary budget. Preliminary estimates have come back very favorable and fit well within the budget for Lowell Park improvements. Attached are the preliminary plans for your review. Also attached is a map showing overall improvements to Lowell Park. As of this date the city has approximately $500,000 in the Lowell Park Improvement Budget. Currently the estimated costs for Lowell Park south of Chestnut are: Bathroom Improvements $150,000 Irrigation $ 30,000 Landscaping $ 20,000 Concrete Repair $ 50,000 The next step will be to present a preliminary Lowell Park Improvement Plan to the City Council and HPC. z, of Q W J W H10S3NNA 831VM11115 SWOOdHiV2 >1 J]Vd TAAA01 a o o o -wi (iesl w O O O O � Q Q m � m -. -� ao� 3niieua3nr 1d3�NO� nacN;wn3ad v w Lo d a � � n O: J z, of Q W J W Z6 O° Q W J W O z m z6 Q J� d Ze Q J= W O O O O Q Q m � z w Lo d �s O n O: J Q W W J Q � Z6 O° Q W J W O z m z6 Q J� d Ze Q J= W "•P'`" 4 1 , w,� E ULUE 1 I -- � }} i 4 ,'-.; yi � • d � : fit' ` '' � - '�•!�_! + � 1. � E � f _ •��.�'�� i ' • �.'''

T °:ACE OF MINNESOTA Memo To: Parks and Recreation Commission From: Tim Moore, Assistant Public Works Superintendent Date: February 23, 2011 Re: Potential Spring High Water As Parks Commission members may be aware, from media reports and following this winters weather the potential for spring flooding is very high. Attached are some maps and graphs from the National Weather Service showing snow totals from the storm of February 20 and 21 maps showing snow depth and water equivalent state wide and graphs showing the potential for flooding on the St. Croix at Stillwater. In recent past events Lowell Park has been flooded with 5' -7' of water and been out of service from the middle of March until the middle to end of May. It appears that this coming spring may put the city in the same scenario. City staff has been meeting and preparing for several weeks now. To date the City has purchased and had delivered jersey barriers used for flood fighting. Additionally sandbags and poly have been purchased and the City has begun working on a plan for volunteers to fill sand bags. The weather service will be coming out with more updates on March 3 rd and March 10 If you should have any further questions feel free to contact me.

One to 2 112 inches of snow water were added back into the model across most of this area, mainly due to overaggressive snowmelt. In southeastern Minnesota, and northern lower Michigan, 1 to 1 112 inches ofwater were removed due to lower - than- observed snowmen. On February 14, a model adjustmentwas done for the northern West and the Cascades through the Sierra Nevada for overdone snowmelt by the model.
