Mr . John Buckley , Superintendent

Arden Hills , MN 55112
Dear Mr . Buckley :
I ' ve recently had the surface of my lot on Karth Lake cleaned up
and I ' d like to bring up the subject again of Arden Hills using
my lot in your park system . With the surface now clean , you
could get a better idea as to whether or not you ' d like to do
anything with it .
What I would suggest is that several picnic tables , with or
without an open shelter , would go nicely on the site . I don ' t
think you ' d want to do much more because the site won ' t
accommodate large crowds .
I ' m not a lawyer , but I have drafted a document that I envision
both parties signing . Enclosed is a copy for your review.
If this sounds like something you ' d like to pursue , please let me
know, I ' ll be happy to meet with you and/or your park board to
discuss it further .
Sincerely ,
David M . Eichers

Arden Oaks Park Development
Background Information - In 1984 and 1985, concept plans for this park were
developed by Planner Miller, and a meeting held with neighborhood residents.
Using this plan and guidelines developed with the neighborhood, grading and
seeding was accomplished in 1985, and a play structure erected in 1986. Plans
• for 1987 included construction of a back stop, hard surface playing area, and
picnic shelter. It was anticipated that the back stop would be a
smaller-than-regulation structure, used only for neighborhood play. The picnic
shelter was deemed desirable for parents watching their children, and possibly
for program scheduling, since, although trees have been planted, there won't be
much shade for ten to fifteen years.
When construction began several weeks ago on the back stop, two of the
neighbors contacted Buckley asking that no further development take place in
the park, and subsequently circulated a petition in the neighborhood which they
sent to him, asking that the back stop not be constructed, and the picnic
shelter not be constructed. (There is no objection to the hard court area).
An equal ii?bei of neighbors submitted a p..a aiv^ to �U.kl aJ ;nSk4
ci I = - - g that the
back stop and picnic shelter be constructed as planned.
In an effort to help the neighbors reach a consensus on their desires for park
development, the neighborhood was invited to this meeting of the Parks
Committee to discuss the best possible development for the park.
Those opposed to further development stated as their reasoning, (a) Park area
is too small; thought batters could hit balls as far as the play structure, and
might hit balls into the street, would prefer no ball playing in the area; (b)
Back stop and picnic shelter would detract aesthetically from the area; (c)
Back stop too close to detractor's back yard; (d) Picnic shelter could lure to
the area the "type of people we don't want around".
• Rationale of those anxious for installation of the back stop and picnic shelter
was (a) there are over 40 children in the neighborhood under age 12; (b) play

Park Maintenance - An approximate $6,000 increase in this budget is in the
capital outlay area, for replacing a 1 ton truck and the tanker truck. These
items were included in the five year capital outlay plan prepared earlier.
Funds are also requested for an additional seasonal employee; the addition of
North Snelling Park and an increased emphasis on trail maintenance necessitate
this increase in manpower.
Shade Tree Disease Control - this budget remains about the same; provides for
one inspection yearly for diseased elm and oak.
Self Sustaining Recreation - This budget increases to include provision for a
1/2 time program supervisor. Buckley feels strongly that in order to continue
to maintain the programs we presently have, and hopefully increase program to
levels of other communities of like size, it is essential that personnel be
added. The Committee concurred with his request; felt Arden Hills' citizens
are paying a tax rate close to that of surrounding communities without offering
the amenities offered by them. Buckley was asked to provide supporting data
for this request, i.e. level of programming in neighboring similar-sized
communities, number of personnel, and ideas for additional programs, especially
for adults and elderly.
Committee also requested that he review all fees charged to see if they are in
the ball park with those charged in surrounding communities. (Our surveys in
• prior years indicated A.H. rates as high or higher than others. )
Park Fund - The bulk of the $105,450 in expenditures in this area goes to
development of North Snelling Park, and upgrading of trails. Resident
sentiment is strongly in favor of upgraded trails. Residents of newly
developed areas are no longer content to have their parks developed in three to
four year increments as has been done in the past, so most of the North
Snelling development is planned for next year.
Last year the Park Fund received $36,000 in donations from pull tab
operations. This amount is not included in the budget as a revenue item since
it is not a "certainty". Rautio suggested it be used to pay the "park
salaries" portion of the Park Fund budget, since dedicated funds can not be
removed from the fund and donations (such as the pull tab money) conceivably
could.
Miscellaneous/New Business
The Fall Festival will be held September 12, 1987.
Yard Beautification Contest - Messerly and committee will be touring the
Village shortly to make recommendations. Mulcahy asked clarification on basis
for awards. . .Committee consensus was to define the criteria as "any unusual or
beautiful front yard treatment".
Council Report
Mayor Woodburn reported on Council items of interest to this committee,
including purchase of land on Hamline and Highway 96.
Adjournment
Motion was made by Enrooth, seconded by Otto, that the meeting adjourn at 10:05
p.m. Motion carried unanimously.

Approval of Minutes
Sand noted that, since the last meeting of the committee, Council had
approved the 1987 Park Development Plan. Buckley is appearing at the next
Council meeting to request approval for ordering the two shelters, play
• structure, grills, picnic tables, etc. on that plan.
The minutes of the March 24 meeting were approved as submitted.
North Snelling Park Development
Buckley explained to the residents present Arden Hills' aim of a
neighborhood park within each neighborhood. Planner Miller's total
development plan for this park was reviewed with the residents, showing a
neighborhood playing field (which will not be large enough for organized
teams, but can be used for neighborhood soccer, t-ball and informal
softball), play equipment, picnic area, tennis court, and walking trail.
An informal skating area is planned, and a sliding hill. Current plans
are to seed the area this year, establish the playing field, and next year
put up the play structure. The Parks Department' experience has shown
that in a new neighborhood, it's best to install play structure first, and
other amenities later.
A petition from the residents (filed in the City Hall) urged early
development of the park area. Resident comments included:
. . .almost all the residents are eager for tennis courts.
. . .could we have an informal skating rink (over the playing field area)
next winter? We don't need any warming house or boards, just open
skating.
• . . .with the play structure situated near the storm water holding area,
will there be a danger of small children wandering into the marsh area
below? Buckley assured them that the area will be left in a natural state
which will discourage children from venturing into the area; if this does
not prove an adequate barrier, more natural barriers will be planted.

• June 23, 1987 - Page 2
. . .The sliding hill appears to be near Highway 10; will there be barriers
there? Buckley stated the sliding area runs back towards the park, will
be some distance from Highway 10 and perfectly safe.
. . .Residents suggested a hard court area for basketball. Buckley replied
that if tennis courts are installed, a hard court area will be provided in
connection with the courts.
. . .Residents seemed pleased with the park plans, agreed with Buckley's
plan to install playing field, then play equipment, but reiterated their
strong desire for tennis courts. In obtaining signatures for their
petition for park development, they stated that every homeowner was eager
to sign, and every homeowner asked for play equipment and tennis courts.
Much interest in winter activities was also expressed (informal skating,
sliding hill).
Buckley pointed out the trail which will run through the park, connecting
the area with Colleen Avenue, hence to Floral Park and Cummings Park. The
trail, because of the topography of the area, will be a walking trail
only.
Before leaving, two residents of the area who participate in organized
• hockey, commended Buckley and the Parks Maintenance staff on the excellent
grooming on Perry Park Hockey Rink last winter; felt maintenance much
better than in Shoreview or New Brighton parks.
Council Report
Councilman Sather reported that agreement for park dedication had been
reached with the Eibensteiners for Keithson Addition, at 10% of raw land
value, $10,400.00, payable by July 1, 1987.
Litigation concerning Lindey's Triangle was settled; the area will remain
as highway easement; the Council, for $5,300, became the underlying fee
owner of record, subject to easement of the highway. . .essentially, Arden
Hills now owns the property.
The Council is currently considering a Charitable Gambling Ordinance,
which would gradually phase out all charitable gambling in the Village.
Sather noted the income which the Park Fund had gained from this source,
the dwindling dedicated funds available; stated the Arden Hills
establishments with charitable gambling (Big Ten, Blue Fox, Pot 0 Gold
Bingo) were being well run.
Undeveloped Land - Parkway Study
Committee discussed the undeveloped land located at the Cleveland and D
entrance to the City, Highway 96 and Hamline, Lexington and Highway 96.
They discussed whether a subcommittee of this committee should be formed
•
Minutes of Regular Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting

• to make recommendations as to how these should be developed. Their
particular concern was land that will not lend itself easily to attractive
development. . .would it be advisable to recommend the City purchase it to
assure it's being developed in an attractive manner, particularly those
areas that are designated as city gateways. No action was taken.
Crepeau Park
Committee discussed the blacktopped path which MSI constructed on their
land bordering Crepeau Park; recommended that the oak trees which seemed
to be disturbed by the construction be monitored closely and treated if
necessary to prevent oak wilt.
Arbor Day Report
Buckley reported that while there didn't seem to be as much citizen
participation, several Scout groups were involved this year and thoroughly
enjoyed the experience. He recommends directing future Arbor Day
activities into involving more of these groups.
Parks Tour
Committee recommended that, in the fall, a tour of trails only be held.
Summer Program
Buckley reported all summer activities almost "exploding" this year.
There are 76 teams in adult leagues, 20 more in CDC league (10 more than
• last year). T-Ball is up by five teams; there are 21 youth softball
teams. It was necessary to add additional sessions and instructors in the
tennis and golf programs. The track program this spring had 650
participants.
Sand stated that several of his neighbors complained that they didn't hear
from their children's coaches until right before the program began. . .were
not sure their application had been processed. It was explained that all
programs are operated on the basis that if an application is not returned,
the applicant should assume he is in the program; programs in the school
district and all surrounding cities are operated on this basis.
It was asked if it would be possible to send a confirming note to
participants. Buckley schedules all activities himself, with a minimal
amount of help, and felt there was not time or funds to spend in sending
confirming notes.
Committee suggested that a statement be included in the Parks brochure
stating that unless you hear otherwise, you are registered, and in the
case of a class, appear at the designated time, and if a team, that a
coach will contact you.

Lot Offer
The owner of the lot at 1134 Amble Drive has written, saying he does not
wish to sell or develop the lot, and offered to lease it to the Parks
Department until he decides to develop it. Buckley checked the lot; found
it littered with cement pieces, brush, grass clippings; felt it of minimal
use to the Parks system, and would take a lot of time to clean up.
Morrison also mentioned the liability incurred when using someone else's
property. Committee requested Buckley to inform the owner that Arden
Hills was not interested in leasing the lot.
Meeting Notice
Unless it appears necessary, the July meeting will be cancelled. The next
regular meeting will be held August 25, 1987, 7:30 p.m.
Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned at 9:15 p.m.

structure has been excellent; however, there is nothing for children much over
the age of 7 and a back stop, for soccer, softball, baseball, is badly needed
for that age group. (b) At present they have to cross busy streets if they
wish to play ball. (c) The back stop could be repositioned, from the southwest
corner of the park, to the northwest corner of the park, and balls then could
not possibly reach the play structure or any homes; (d) without a back stop,
there is a danger to children of running into the street to chase balls; (e)
shade from picnic shelter would be helpful for parents; (f) summer programming
at Arden Oaks Park for youngsters would be possible with a shelter.
Questions asked of Buckley by residents included whether the picnic shelter
could be of wood (not practical, high maintenance costs); could it be smaller
(size planned was 22' x 24' ; a smaller shelter doesn't afford a lot of shade).
Residents asked size of proposed back stop; Buckley said that the traditional
is 12' x 20' with back and two wings; this one would be about 10' with no
wings.
Interest was expressed in a tennis court in lieu of shelter and hard court
area. Buckley explained a tennis court, with its necessary fences, obstructs
visibility and is aesthetically probably less pleasing in an area this size,
and would bring more traffic to the area.
All possible alternatives in development of this park were discussed with the
residents in an attempt to help them reach a consensus, and make Arden Oaks a •
park they'd all enjoy. This proved impossible.
Buckley explained the Village's plan to provide facilities appropriate for all
age groups in each park.
Final agreement was that Buckley, and Parks Committee members, would meet with
the residents at the site on Monday, August 3, at 6:00 p.m. The Parks
Committee will then make a final decision. Residents were asked to visit
Hazelnut Park to see the shelter there since it's identical to the one planned
for Arden Oaks Park.
The pro-development residents were extremely anxious that the back stop, at
least, be installed this year while their children could still utilize it.
(This group seemed willing to forego the picnic shelter, if this would aid in
reaching total agreement among the neighbors. )
1988 Budget Discussion
Summer Playground Program - No increase in this budget is anticipated. A six
weeks program was conducted at 4 sites this year; attendance was high and
program very successful.
Skating Rinks - The increase in expenditures from 1986 to 1987 was attributable
to addition of Cummings Park hockey rink and free skating area. No increase in
expenditures is anticipated in 1988. Expenses in 1987 will be below budgeted
amount due to the warm winter.
