APPROVAL OF MINUTES Possible approval of April 23, 2018 meeting minutes Motion by Commissioner McGarry, seconded by Commissioner Christensen, to approve the April 23, 2018 meeting minutes. All in favor, 4-0. Possible approval of May 21, 2018 meeting minutes Commissioner Brandt stated that he would like to amend the minutes by replacing “Commissioner Brandt remarked that Curve Crest is too narrow for existing traffic volumes and is not conducive to pedestrian or bike traffic. He was hoping before any more money is put into Curve Crest, the City would look at how the road is designed and how the road will be used in the next 50 years” with “Commissioner Brandt suggested that before any more money is put into streets in the industrial park, the City should look at how the road is designed and how the road will be used in the next 50 years.” Motion by Commissioner Brandt, seconded by Commissioner Christensen, to approve the May 21, 2018 meeting minutes as amended. All in favor, 4-0. ACTION ITEMS There were no Action Items. INFORMATION ITEMS Dog Park Water Service Request Update Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting June 25, 2018 Page 2 of 2 Public Works Superintendent Moore reported that staff is working with Mid America Environmental to gather information on requirements that would need to be met from various agencies (MPCA and Health Department) to install a water service to the dog park. Preliminary prices for installation of the water service are coming back favorable and he is waiting for pricing on a multi functional fountain. The cost will probably be at least $15,000. He is investigating working with the School District to provide a water connection from their service at the Jaycee ballfields. COMMISSION ITEMS/TOPICS Commissioner Christensen stated that the crossing lights for pedestrians crossing Highway 36 at Greeley and Washington are much too short, allowing only about four cars to get through. This makes it nearly impossible for his cross country/track team and other pedestrians to cross into Stillwater. Council Representative Polehna replied that MnDOT times the lights for different times of day. He will ask MnDOT about making the lights longer. Chairwoman Amrein expressed concern about the three-way stop at Third and Myrtle Streets where there is only one sign stating traffic coming up the Myrtle Street hill does not stop. Many drivers do not read the sign or are confused. She would like to see a flashing sign or something on both corners to draw attention to the fact that westbound drivers going up Myrtle do not stop. Mr. Moore said he will talk to the Public Works Director about the possibility of installing flashing lights on the stop signs. Council Representative Polehna said Public Works Director Sanders will be looking at that intersection and the Chestnut intersection downtown in regard to possibly eliminating the no left turn from northbound Main onto westbound Chestnut Street. Commissioner Christensen asked about the river level. Mr. Moore replied the river is not at flood stage yet but more rain is expected and there will be a double crest. It looks like the river will be at the current elevation for the Fourth of July. Fireworks are still on. Councilmember Polehna explained plans for the Fourth of July celebration. ADJOURNMENT TO PARK TOUR Motion by Commissioner Brandt, seconded by Commissioner McGarry, to adjourn. All in favor, 4-0. The meeting was adjourned to the Park Tour at 6:36 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Julie Kink Recording Secretary PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING DATE: July 23, 2018 CASE NO.: 2018-29 APPLICANT: Dan Thurnes, Cornerstone Land Surveying, representing Craig Wahlquist, property owners REQUEST: Consideration of a fee-in-lieu of land for park and trail dedication associated with the subdivision of land located at 7990 Neal Avenue North PREPARED BY: Abbi Jo Wittman, City Planner BACKGROUND Craig Wahlquist plans to subdivide 1.25 acres of land located at Lot 4, Block 2, Neal Meadow (8080 Neal Avenue North). A total of three lots, to be known as NEAL MEADOWS 5TH ADDITION, are proposed. The property owner would retain the southerly lot that contains his residence. The northern (approximately) 25,000 square feet, adjacent to Creekside Crossing, would contain two new lots which the property owner intends to sell. PARK COMMISSION REVIEW The Comprehensive Plan’s park element shows no planned parks on or through the property. So, the contribution to the park system would likely have to be in the form of a fee in lieu of land, which would be $2,000 per new lot created. In terms of trails and sidewalks, a sidewalk on the west side of Creekside Crossing exists. While a trail is proposed for Neal Avenue North, it is proposed to be constructed on the east side of Neal Avenue. Therefore, no sidewalks or trails are proposed on the property. Therefore, the contribution to the trail system would have to be in the form of a fee in lieu, which would be $500 per new lot created. Therefore, the total park and trail fee would be $2,500 for each of Lots 2 and 3, for a total of $5,000. As with the development fees, this will be payable prior to release of the final plat from City offices RECOMMENDATION City staff recommends a cash dedication of $5,000 for NEAL MEADOWS 5TH ADDITION park and trail obligations.
