ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION—NOVEMBER 18, 2024 6 <br /> greenspace because the greenspace would not hold up. He recommended the City Council <br /> consider installing dedicated pickleball courts within the new parks. He stated if competitions <br /> would be held in this park, more parking may have to be considered. <br /> Councilmember Rousseau thanked Mr. Shearen for this information. She stated she could <br /> support removing the adult soccer field and would be interested in seeing how this would impact <br /> the park design. <br /> Mayor Grant suggested the Council consider the large scope items for this park, noting the <br /> alignment could be considered in the future. <br /> Councilmember Rousseau asked if there was a likelihood in the southwest corner of the <br /> development. She commented on how there would now be 500 more homes in this area. <br /> Councilmember Fabel stated there would be, noting it was within the design. <br /> Interim City Administrator Jagoe explained this could be discussed with the developer, noting <br /> there was currently no open space dedication in this area. <br /> Ms. Kvilvang stated a privately owned HOA park may be located in this area. <br /> Councilmember Monson questioned what type of ballfields or amenities were most needed in <br /> the community. <br /> Recreation Supervisor Johnson reported he met with the youth baseball associations and noted <br /> there was a need for the intermediate sized ballfields. He discussed how a turf field could become <br /> a flagship field and noted soccer fields were also in need. He recommended if an all inclusive <br /> park were pursued that fencing be considered around the entire play structure. He indicated <br /> pickleball would be another amenity that would be used in the community. <br /> 'Councilmember Monson stated the council would have to consider if the City wants to have <br /> community recreational parks or if a high end competition turf field space should be created <br /> within TCAAP. <br /> Councilmember Fabel asked if football space was needed. <br /> Recreation Supervisor Johnson explained youth tackle and flag football has been taken over by <br /> the associations due to the number of children needed to play. <br /> Councilmember Holden questioned how much space would be needed for a competition turf <br /> field. <br /> Mr. Shearen estimated the City would need to have 10 to 20 acres for a competitive sports <br /> complex. <br /> Councilmember Monson indicated the City does not have enough land to pursue this, which <br /> meant the idea of a competitive turf field/complex could be eliminated. <br /> Mayor Grant questioned where the City could accommodate pickleball courts. <br />
