• <br /> --A EN HILLS <br /> May 3, 2012 <br /> Dear Resident: <br /> This letter is to inform you that the City Council at their April 30, 2012 meeting awarded a <br /> construction contract for the Valentine Park redevelopment. As you are aware, the park <br /> redevelopment planning process has been lengthy. Based on this process, the main <br /> components of the park have been identified. A diagram is attached for review. The park <br /> components are summarized below: <br /> • New Parking Area <br /> • Half Basketball Court <br /> • New Play Structure with Swing Set(graphic included—page 2) <br /> • Picnic Shelter(graphic included—page 2) <br /> • Outdoor Bathroom Enclosure/Benches/Picnic Tables/Trash Receptacles <br /> • Bituminous Trail on Lake Valentine Road connecting park to Glenview/Crystal Ave. <br /> • Trees and Landscaping <br /> • Rain Gardens <br /> • Stormwater ponds <br /> The construction will take place in two phases. Phase one will include site preparation and <br /> grading and is scheduled to begin in the next week and continue into early July of 2012. <br /> Phase two will include preparation of parking lots, installation of park amenities, installation <br /> of rain garden plants and trees. Due to the existing organic soils found (up to 14 feet), the <br /> park will need to sit for a period of time before amenities can be installed to allow the soils to <br /> consolidate. Phase two is scheduled to begin in early spring of 2013 and be completed by <br /> the end of June, 2013. <br /> If you have any questions please feel free to contact myself at 651-792-7848 or email at <br /> michelle.olsonkci.arden-hills.mn.us or Terry Maurer at 651-792-7847 or email at <br /> terry.maurer ,ci.arden-hills.mn.us. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> */-� d .�a.o-•c> <br /> Michelle Olson• <br /> Parks and Recreation Manager <br /> City of Arden Hills ! 1245 west Highway 96 ® Arden Hills,MN + 55112-5743 <br /> Phone 651.792.7800 !
