Task 2.6: Project Open House <br />To ensure the community remains <br />engaged in the master planning process, <br />we propose one open house events at <br />city hall. The open house will present <br />key findings from the needs analysis, <br />the current state of the park system, <br />and how the park system should grow <br />in the future. This feedback will inform <br />prioritization of initiatives/improvements. <br />The location of the open house will be <br />important, so it is inviting and easy to <br />access. We will work with city staff to <br />determine the best location and date to <br />schedule the event. <br />The open house events are an important <br />step in seeking consensus from the <br />community while validating that this <br />plan was developed in part from the <br />feedback they provided throughout the <br />process. PTRC meetings will be used as <br />alternative engagement opportunities to <br />share findings and solicit feedback from <br />residents. <br />Task 2.7: Steering Committee Meeting <br />No. 2 <br />The planning team will evaluate and <br />summarize the community survey <br />responses to better understand <br />community needs and desires for the <br />park and trail system. These findings will <br />help guide final recommendations and <br />the importance of improvements. <br />PHASE 3: COMMUNITY NEEDS <br />ASSESSMENT <br />During this phase, we will use the <br />data and input that has been collected <br />and analyzed to evaluate what the <br />community needs in its park system. <br />This determination will be driven largely <br />by the input we gather through various <br />channels. We will assess the park system <br />based on national trends and metrics, <br />but one of the foremost important data <br />points is what the community, city staff, <br />and stakeholders tell us they need for <br />Arden Hills to be successful. Our team <br />intends to listen, learn, and uncover what <br />those needs are. <br />Task 3.1: Community Needs Evaluation <br />Feedback and research collected and <br />analyzed will be summarized for review. <br />This information will be used to begin <br />discussions about improvements, <br />opportunities, and priorities. <br />Task 3.2: Park and Trail Classifications <br />The planning team will work with city <br />staff to review and confirm, modify, <br />or add to existing classifications, <br />and preferred facility level of service <br />standards. Facility standards include level <br />of service standards and the population <br />served per recreational facility and park <br />amenities. These will be based on NPRA <br />guidelines, our team's experience, and <br />comparison with peer/survey agencies. <br />5 PARK SYSTEM PLAN | CITY OF ARDEN HILLS, MNWORK PLAN
