EN HILLS <br />MEMORANDUM <br />DATE: October 18, 2011 <br />TO: Parks Trails and Recreation Committee <br />FROM: Michelle Olson, Parks and Recreation Manager <br />SUBJECT: Park Project Updates <br />Agenda Item: 3.A. <br />Background <br />VALENTINE PARK UPDATE <br />At the September PTRC meeting, the committee was briefly updated on the status of the <br />Valentine Park Improvements. The agenda item that was presented to Council at the September <br />19, 2011 work session is included for review (Attachment A). After a lengthy discussion on the <br />budget and concepts, the Council consensus was to direct Staff to proceed with final design, the <br />financing component, and detailed cost estimate for Concept Plan 1 and bring it all back to the <br />Council for further consideration. <br />FLORAL PARK NO PARKING UPDATE <br />A request from Rick Morphew, a resident of Arden Hills was brought to the PTRC for <br />consideration for the no parking restrictions on Floral Drive and Royal Lane. After discussion <br />and review of the item, the PTRC made a recommendation to the City Council that the parking <br />for Floral Park on Royal Lane and Floral Drive be changed from the south side to the north side <br />(park frontage) of the road and to provide "no parking" for a reasonable pick -up /drop -off <br />distance at the advisement of the Public Works Director /City Engineer. The Public Works <br />Director and Parks and Recreation manager met on site and identified an approximate seventy <br />Y <br />(70) foot area directly in front of the park and also identified a small ten (10) foot area directly in <br />front of the walking trail to be identified as "no parking" for access purposes. The PTRC <br />recommendation was brought to Council for consideration at the October 10, 2011 meeting. <br />The agenda item that was presented is included for review (Attachment B). <br />10182011 project updates.doc <br />
