Development Factors <br />The following development factors should be considered in order to create useable, <br />manageable and maintainable facilities: <br />Athletic fields/green space shall be irrigated. <br />Parking lots and/or off street parking should be provided for all parks. <br />Prairie natural areas should be considered for medians/islands/open areas, where <br />appropriate. <br />All parks shallbe completely ADA compliant. <br />All ball fields shall be sand based and built with drain tile and proper <br />grading/drainage for easy maintenance. <br />Park signs should match the current Arden Hills park signs unless TCAAP has a <br />theme throughout. <br />Where appropriate, rain gardens should be considered <br />Access to main roads should be considered. Driving through an entire <br />neighborhood to play a soccer/baseball game could be problematic. <br />If pocket parks are located within the neighborhoods,they shouldbe private parks <br />managed and maintained by the neighborhood associations. <br />Other Items Discussed <br />A 1 acre dog park was discussed as a possibility. However, discussion noted <br />the proximity ofTCAAP to the Shoreview dog park. <br />A 1.25 acre model aviation area was discussed. There is a noise factor for this <br />activity. This is a potential activity on multi-use fields and open green space. <br />Need for interconnectivity between neighborhoods, parks and natural features <br />through a comprehensive trail network(See attached 4/18/14 subcommittee <br />recommendation). <br />An observation deck or overlook on the water feature, where appropriate. <br />Splash Pads have both positives and negatives. The maintenance of these type <br />of facilities can be high. However, having a splash pad or water feature of some <br />sort would be popular for families. <br />22 <br />Page of <br />
