PARKS, TRAILS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE MEETING <br />September 18, 2007 Page 4 <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Lehnhoff stated they anticipate having a plan that would be ready to share with the adjoining <br />communities by April. Ideally he would like to start roughing a draft after the October 16 <br />meeting and have the draft approved by the Council end of April or early May. He also <br />indicated he anticipated changes to the zoning ordinance to help implement the new <br />Comprehensive Plan as well as the Shoreland Ordinance. <br /> <br />6. BOCCE GOLF COURSE UPDATE <br />Ms. Olson and Committee Member Baumann gave a brief update of the new Bocce Golf Course <br />at Lindey’s Park. Ms. Olson gave an update on changes she made to the web page for trails and <br />Bocce Golf. She is working on a project right now that provides information on the trails in <br />Arden Hills. She added Bocce Golf on the web page under Announcements and Information, <br />which links to the Parks and Recreation Bocce Golf page.. <br /> <br />Ms Olson is going to check to see what the lawyer suggests be done regarding the covers being <br />put back on the holes for the Bocce Golf in case of liability issues. She is thinking the City may <br />want to possibly add some signage. <br /> <br />7. SHEEHY TENNIS COURT DISCUSSION <br /> <br />Ms. Olson indicated that the Sheehy Tennis court was going to Council. The current fee is set at <br />$10 per year and Ms. Olson has put together a draft on what she feels are the 4 viable options <br />with the tennis court: <br />Option 1 would be to either increase the fee to a number agreed to by Council or keep the lease <br />at $10 a year but include a maintenance agreement that would require the association to be <br />financially responsible for regular maintenance on the court. <br />Option 2 would be to open up the area as a public park with tennis courts. The city would then <br />need to assume liability, which is one of the reasons they didn’t want to keep the court public <br />because then improvements would have had to be made. She would recommend that we <br />resurface it on a regular basis and keep it up. <br />Option 3 is to tear out the tennis court and maintain that area as open green space. In 2002 the <br />parks, trails and open space plan did propose to remove the tennis court and maintain as an open <br />space and explore the possibility of adding unpaved trails. The estimate for City staff to take out <br />fencing, remove the court and seed comes to $9,000. <br />Option 4 would be to order an appraisal of the area of the land that the tennis court is located on <br />and offer that portion be sold to the association if they are interested. <br /> <br />Ms. Olson has had discussions with the association and is under the impression the association <br />does want to continue the lease and keep as a court. <br /> <br />Committee Member Crassweller made a motion that the PTRC recommend to the City Council <br />that Sheehy become a public tennis court. The motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />In addition, the suggestion was made for the City to add benches for nature observation. <br /> <br /> <br />
