Home My WebLink About1D, Park CIP Discussion ~ MEMORANDUM DATE: March 16, 2009 Agenda Item I.D TO: Mayor and City Council Ron Moorse, City Administrator FROM: Michelle Olson, Parks and Recreation Manager SUBJECT: CIP Discussion - 2010-2014 BACKGROUND Staff has continued to review and revise the City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) based upon previous direction from Council and further financial analysis. Attached are the current CIP worksheets for 2010-2014. DISCUSSION 2010 Projects County Road E Sidewalk Improvement ($290,,000): The City originally approved a sidewalk to go on the north side of the road. The development of this sidewalk/path will depend completely on the bridge improvements in 2009. Old Highway 10 Sidewalk Improvements - CP Rail ($214,,000): If discussions and plans go ahead as planned, the CP Rail pedestrian improvement is scheduled to happen in 2010 on the west side. City Trail Signage ($10,,000): The PTRC will be discussing a trail signage plan at their March 17, 2009 meeting and this amount will depend on how things proceed in 2009 with the first portion of this project. Valentine Park Improvements ($315,,000): On February 9,2009, the City Council received the Valentine Park Drainage Study done by WSB, Inc. The City Council asked staff to review the final report with the Parks, Trails, and Recreation Committee for their input, schedule at least one more public meeting and research possible funding possibilities for this project. The \\Metro-inet.us\ardenhills\Admin\Council\Agendas & Packet Information\2009\03-16-09 Worksession\Packet Information\1.D - Park CIP.doc Park CIP Discussion - 03/16/09 drainage improvements are estimated at $260,000. The play structure at this park is due for replacement in 2010 for approximately $55,000. Cummings Park Irrigation ($17,,000): This item was originally in the 2009 CIP but was removed to be considered at a future date. Staff feels strongly about moving forward on this project in 2010. This field serves as one of the two main sport fields in the City. The field is utilized three seasons of the year by City programs and association programs. In 2001 when the pavilion was built, the City included installation of a pipe for the possibility of a future irrigation system. This field is heavily used and the result is a poor playing field. The irrigation system will help keep the field in playable conditions. Healthy grass is an essential element of any outdoor sport field. Thick, green, lush turf provides a safer surface for athletes, reducing the amount of injuries experienced on the playing field. It is also aesthetically pleasing. An irrigation system is necessary to keep most fields in healthy condition, especially if the field has heavy use. Generally, most fields need to be watered every three days or so from June through September, and as needed the rest of the year to keep the soil moist. Applying at least 1" of water per week will help to maximize grass growth. Dormant or dry grasses do not have any recuperative or competitive potential at all. Without an irrigation system, field use in the summer causes accelerated wear. Hard court and trail resurfacing ($15,,000): Resurfacing of hard court play areas, trail resurfacing, and Goodpointe maintenance fees. The maintenance schedule for the hard court surfaces shows Sampson Park and Arden Oaks basketball courts in need of resurfacing. Sampson Park does not have a court surface, it is a rough pavement. Therefore, the surface would need improvement before resurfacing. Staff will need to do research regarding the cost involved in this. 2011 Projects Hard court and trail resurfacing ($15,,000): Resurfacing of hard court play areas, trail resurfacing, and Goodpointe maintenance fees. Staff will continue to follow the maintenance schedule for the hard court surfaces. The maintenance schedule shows Arden Manor and Valentine basketball courts in need of resurfacing. The court at Valentine Park is rough pavement and staff will need to research the cost involved in this improvement. The Arden Manor court will need to be evaluated to see if a resurface is needed. Staff does not recommend improving the Valentine Park basketball area until park improvements take place. 2012 Projects Lexington Avenue Trail Replacement ($50,,000): This trail extending from Cummings Park Drive south to County Road F is in need of replacement. A general resurface will not resolve the issues. The estimate is for a reconstruct with recycling of the current pavement, which is the most cost effective. The City may consider approaching Boston Scientific to see if they would be interested in contributing to the upgrade of this trail. Hard court and trail resurfacing ($15,,000): Resurfacing of hard court play areas, trail resurfacing, and Goodpointe maintenance fees. Staff will continue to follow the maintenance 2 Park CIP Discussion - 03/16/09 schedule for the hard court surfaces. Floral Park tennis and basketball courts are tentatively scheduled for a resurface in 2012. Staff will evaluate the condition of the court before scheduling the improvement. 2013 Projects Snelling Avenue Regional Trail (Segment 1)($309,,000): This segment extends from Highway 51 to County Road E. This segment of the trail could be constructed with the PMP reconstruction, which is currently programmed for 2013. The pedestrian improvements to the west side of the CP Rail Bridge are proposed for 2010. Further discussions will need to take place to determine what side of the road segment 1 should go. The City could potentially look for federal funding to complete the entire corridor at that time. If the trail were constructed entirely on the west side, it is estimated to be an additional $1,975,149. If the trail is constructed on the east side at any point, costs would be dependent on where the crossing occurs. West Round Lake Trail ($120,,000): This is a proposed trail to link two sections of trail that exist behind the businesses along Round Lake. The missing trail is .46 mile or 2,421 feet. This gap in the trail system is due to the breakdown of negotiations between Nott Companies and the City on a potential easement. All other easements have been obtained. If the City Council is interested, staff could attempt to reopen negotiations. This trail also would help access issues in maintaining sanitary sewer in that area. Hard court and trail resurfacing ($15,,000): Resurfacing of hard court play areas, trail resurfacing, and Goodpointe maintenance fees. Staff will continue to follow the maintenance schedule for the hard court surfaces. Royal Hills tennis and basketball courts are tentatively scheduled for a resurface in 2013. Staff will evaluate the condition of the court before scheduling the improvement. 2014 Projects Hard court and trail resurfacing ($15,,000): Resurfacing of hard court play areas, trail resurfacing, and Goodpointe maintenance fees. Staff will continue to follow the maintenance schedule for the hard court surfaces. Johanna Marsh tennis court is tentatively scheduled for a resurface in 2014. Staff will evaluate the condition of the court before scheduling the improvement. Year Undetermined Projects: Hazelnut Outfield Fence (16,,500): This was originally in the 2009 CIP but was removed for consideration in a later year. This field is used by adult softball and youth softball and often balls are hit onto the trail in the outfield. It is a safety hazard for the pedestrian and for the ball player running for balls in the outfield. The estimate is for an 8 foot high outfield fence. Each spring, the City puts up a temporary green fence to keep balls from bouncing down into the woods/tall grasses. The neighbors may not be in favor of permanent fencing as they have voiced displeasure regarding the temporary fencing. Aesthetically, they would prefer that there be no fence at that location. City staff would prefer not to use Hazelnut Park for the adult leagues and 3 Park CIP Discussion - 03/16/09 i~ trying to shift league offerings to avoid the use of that park. However, our league is full of returning teams that have been in the league for years and switching nights has not been appealing to our managers up until this point. 2009 Projects Update In the approved 2009 CIP there are seven projects that staff is continuing to work on. Below is an update on the status of each of the projects. City Trail Signage ($15,,000): The City Council asked for the Parks, Trails, and Recreation Committee (PTRC) to prepare a trail signage plan and present this to them before proceeding with this project. 'Staffbudgeted $15,000 in 2009 and $10,000 in 2010. The idea behind the split was that the committee could provide recommendations to the City Council and if approved, the design could proceed with the first signs being designated for the Elmer L. Andersen trail. The PTRC will be discussing a trail signage plan at their March 17, 2009 meeting. Lexington Avenue Trail($62,,645): Staffbudgeted $62,645 from the Special Revenue Park Fund for a portion of the Lexington Avenue trail that would extend from the railroad north to the entrance at the Shannon Square shopping center and potentially to Grey Fox Road. The City Council directed staff to approach the businesses along this corridor to seek a fifty percent cost sharing for the construction of this trail. Staff has obtained updated business lists and plans on contacting the businesses to discuss this project, including the benefits, costs, interest, and timeline. While it would be desirable to have this project move forward in 2009, it may take more time for the businesses to make their decision and budget appropriately. Hard court and trail resurfacing($15,,000): The maintenance schedule for the hard court surfaces shows Arden Oaks, Ingerson Park, and/or Freeway Park basketball courts in need of resurfacing. Staff has budgeted $10,000 for these projects. Staff will go out for quotes on this project sometime in spring. We also set aside $3,000 for trail resurfacing and $2,000 for Goodpointe project fees. Old Highway 10 Sidewalk Improvements - CP Rail ($37,,000): At the March 9, 2009 City Council meeting, Bolton and Menk received direction to proceed with design on the west side of the bridge and begin working with CP Railroad to prepare for possible construction in 2010. Further discussion regarding the future of a pedestrian trail or bike lane will be discussed with the PTRC at future meetings. County Road E Bridge Improvements ($450,,000) - Request for Quotes have been received from the City's engineering pool. Staff is reviewing the proposals and will be bringing back recommendation.sat an upcoming City Council meeting. DNR Trail Connection Grant ($56,,250) - The City has a fully executed contract with the DNR and will be able to proceed with preliminary engineering in the next few months. The schedule has not yet been established and will depend greatly on the Safe Routes to School project status. Safe Routes to School Proiect - This project is being reviewed at tonight's meeting. 4 Park CIP Discussion - 03/16/09 CONCLUSION Staffhas provided project updates and information for discussion purposes. 5 Capital Improvement Plan City of Arden mils, Minnesota 2010 thru 2014 Type Improvement Useful Life Ca tego ry Park Capital Improvements Priority nla Contact Park & Recreation Mgr Department Parks Department Project # 09-Park-OOl Project Name City Trail Signage Description Total Project Cost $25,000 The new signs will have the City logo, trail name, and distance of the path.

In some instances, a complete reconstruct may be needed to resolve foundation cracks. Justification I The City has a 5-6 year resurface schedule. This is a tentative schedule. The courts that are scheduled for a resurface will be inspected the fall before the scheduled improvement to determine if the court truly needs to be resurfaced. Resurface projects for tennis/basketball courts and trails are considered maintenance and therefore cannot utilize the Special Revenue Park Funds.

The CP Rail Bridge is a bottle neck for the potential Snelling Regional Trail. The project includes adding a passage on one side of the existing bridge structure. A CP Rail Study has been completed to identify potential impacts for this project. The City Council must decide which side to put the trail on. Pending Council Action, it is anticipated Bolton & Menk, Inc. will be retained by the City to work with the railroad on the final design. lustUfication I The PTRC has identified the Snelling Regional Trail as a priority in its 2006 Strategies. The CP Rail Bridge is a major bottle neck and needs to be done before or at the same time as the trail. The Canadian Pacific Railroad is willing to discuss bridge improvements. Staff recommends moving forward while this relationship is positive. MSA funds could be utilized for this project, however, the City Council needs to prioritze projects for this funding source.

Justification I The Parks, Trails, and Recreation Committee identified this trail as a priority in the 2002 Open Space Plan and their 2006 Strategies. The bridge widening would need to be done before or at the same time as this trail. This is a key connection that would meet a proposed trail on Lake Johanna Blvd, leading to Tony Schmidt Park and underpass and also would meet the proposed Snelling Regional Trail.

The cost includes a cast in place retaining wall on the west side of the bridge. It will also include ornamental railing, concrete pilasters, and form liner surface treatment. Justification I The bridge along County Road E is very narrow and pedestrian travel on this stretch is very dangerous. The. Parks, Trails, and Recreation Committee identified this project as a priority in the 2002 Comprehensive Park Plan and 2006 Strategies.

The play structure will be designed for the 4 to 9 year old age group. The City recently completed a drainage study of this park. The City will ask for the PTRC to review and recommend potential park improvements as well as seek neighborhood input. Justification I The play structure was installed in 1990. On the City's 20 year replacement schedule, it should be replaced in 2010, however, the decision regarding Valentine Park and it's drainage issues will be a factor.

The PMP reconstruction project is tentatively scheduled for 2013. The CP Rail Bridge improvements are planned for the west side in 2010. Therefore, it may make the most sense to pursue the trail on the west side for this segment. To complete the rest of the segments and the entire corridorfrom County Road E to Highway 96 (going with the west side), it is proposed to be an additional $1,975,149.00. The City could potentially seek federal funding assistance for this corridor. Justification I The PTRC has identified this trail in it's 2006 Strategies as apriority. It is identified as a key north-south regional connection. The Snelling Avenue PMP reconstruction is currently schedule for 2013. That project may factor into when this trail is constructed. Staff needs to continue to research the various funding possibilities.
