Pagel of 8 <br /> Moore, Tom <br /> From: Billie & Pam Ashton [theashtons@usfamily.net] <br /> Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 9:44 AM <br /> To: tom.moore@ci.arden-hills.mn.us <br /> Subject: Re: Disc Golf Proposals for Arden Hills: ( Ingerson Park, Floral Park, Future Park) <br /> Tom, <br /> Just a short note to let you know that I've looked over the three potential park sites (Ingerson, Floral and the <br /> Future Park area) <br /> for Disc Golf. See below for a short summary of my view on things. Let me know what you think when you've <br /> found the time to respond. <br /> In my opinion, I like Ingerson Park's potential the best. It's more suitable with having the parking lot <br /> accessible. <br /> I've found a document online in regards to the minutes of an Arden Hills Park Board meeting back in June of <br /> 2002. In the minutes, <br /> there was a motion to approve $7500.00 for a Disc Golf Course at Ingerson Park. The motion carried <br /> unanimously. Here's the link <br /> to the minutes of that meeting http://www.ci.arden-hills.mn.us/Council and Comm ittees/PTRC/Minutes/06-11- <br /> 02.pdf <br /> I believe Disc Golf is mentioned on page 4. <br /> I'm looking forward to hearing your feedback and working with you on developing a Disc Golf Course for the <br /> Arden Hills area. <br /> Please let me know when you would like to set up a time to discuss the next plan of action. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Bill Ashton <br /> Minnesota Disc Golf Consultant <br /> 13114 Parkwood Drive <br /> Burnsville, MN 55337 <br /> 952-432-4628 (Home) <br /> 952-215-7046 (Cell) <br /> DISC GOLF SUMMARY OF SUGGESTED PARK AREAS FOR ARDEN HILLS: <br /> Performed By: Bill Ashton and Steven West <br /> BASED ON A RATING SYSTEM WHICH TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THESE 18 FACTORS: <br /> (land-owner wishes; traffic safety; safety of other users; size in acres; parking; <br /> bathrooms; ease of development; fit to expected disc golfers; fit to <br /> non-disc golfers; number of holes; terrain; discouragement of trespassing; <br /> protection from erosion; ADA facilities; bicycle access; maximum tournament <br /> size; protection against basket theft; relationship to other disc golf <br /> • courses). <br /> Floral Park (parcel # 223023340052) rated slightly higher than Ingerson Park <br /> (parcel # 343023410001).
