CITY OF ARDEN HILLS • MEMORANDUM DATE: February 17, 1998 TO: Parks and Recreation Commission FROM: Cindy S. Walsh, Parks and Recreation Director (� G SUBJECT: February Agenda Report Comprehensive Plan I have enclosed copies of the preliminary trail and park map that will be included in the City's Comprehensive Plan. It is in rough draft form. Please take some time to review it for content rather than format. We will be discussing it in more detail at the March meeting. Joint Athletic Facility Plan I have been working with the School District and the Cities of New Brighton, Mounds View, and Shoreview on a plan for new athletic facilities. Since the most likely location is the TCAAP property, it appears that a joint facility will not happen in the near future. Consequently, we are looking possible upgrades and changes to our existing facilities. I have been meeting with the • youth associations to involve them in this process. I will keep you updated as we continue to develop a plan. A large part of the plan will have to include upgrading the school facilities. Some of the school facility sites are in such poor condition that the school teams do not even practice on site. Department Reports The Commission talked about having a member of the Public Safety Commission come to one of our meetings to talk about cross walk striping across trail area. Does the Commission want to invite someone to attend the March meeting? I have also received some request for the renaming of Lindey's Park area. The suggestions I have received are as follows: Hick's Park, Wagon Wheel Park, Joseph Hackney Park, and Arden Farms Park. Are there any other suggestions? This will be an item for discussion at the March meeting. A recommendation will then be forwarded to the City Council. As requested by the Commission members, I have enclosed a copy of the proposed Tony Schmidt Lake Johanna Park redevelopment plan for trails. •
