<br />Parks & Recreation Committee <br />Meeting Minutes February 7, 2007 <br /> <br />located at. Committee Member Amundsen said the plans have changed regarding the fence, which the St. Paul <br />Water Utility will move as soon as they are able this spring, relocating it to their pump house property on the <br />northern property line. Also, the pavilion may need to go where the house used to be so that area will not be <br />completely reseeded. Vice-Chairperson Seeley stated that the committee would certainly like to work with Mr. <br />Weigel, but the park plans are currently still evolving and asked whether he would be interested in working on rain <br />gardens, lake shore erosion or other landscaping projects. Mr. Weigel said he would be interested and is meeting <br />with the Eagle Scout Council in the next month and will have a better idea of exactly what type of requirements are <br />necessary to meet his goals. He will keep the committee informed. <br /> <br />Mr. Doug Porter, Field Director for the Centennial Soccer Club, made an appearance to discuss the use of the <br />fields at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park. Mr. Porter presented a letter requesting the use of the fields. This will be <br />added to the March 7, 2007 committee meeting agenda for a recommendation to City Council. It was briefly <br />discussed whether parking would be a problem with the Centennial Soccer Club using the facilities at the same <br />times as Centennial Lakes Little League. Mr. Porter and the committee members did not think it would be a <br />problem, but will ask both groups to let the City know if parking does become a problem. <br /> <br />Mr. Mark Statz. City Enl!ineer & Mr. Paul Patzer. Public Works Director. 1601 LaMotte Drive <br /> <br />At the January 10,2007 City Council Meeting, City Council approved up to $1200 for engineering services to the <br />Park Committee for the 1601 LaMotte Drive park planning. Council Member Lee gave the following update to the <br />committee: There is an existing easement, for a water pipe, running through the new park property. We can not <br />build within this easement. Council has funded and requested that the City Engineer, Mr. Mark Statz, attend the <br />next Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting to identify the location of this easement and assist in locating an <br />allowable foot print for the pavilion. Mr. Statz was also instructed to assist the committee in determining the <br />feasibility, technical requirements, specifications and design elements of the desired artesian well fountain. <br /> <br />Mr. Dallas Larson, City Administrator, contacted the St. Paul Water Utility regarding moving the fence at 1601 <br />LaMotte Drive and was told the St. Paul Water Utility would like to relocate the fence from the front of the property <br />to the new property line between the pump house property and what the city now owns. They will do the relocation <br />in the spring, as soon as possible after the frost is out of the ground. Mr. Larson also reported that the surveyor that <br />did the original work for St. Paul Water Utility wanted about $1,200 to locate the trees on a plan and to stake the <br />water main location. Bonestroo's firm will do it for about $500. <br /> <br />The following was an outline for the discussion, prepared by Vice-Chairperson Seeley and Mr. Statz. <br /> <br />Park Improvement Plans for 1601 LaMotte Drive, Centerville <br /> <br />1.
