Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes March 5, 2008 ~ 92.19 FISHING. No person shall fish from any public park or public grounds. ~ 92.20 BOAT LAUNCHING. No boat or watercraft may be launched from any public park or public grounds. ~ 92.21 SHORELINE PROTECTION The shoreline where any public park or public grounds meets Centerville Lake is a protected area. The shoreline must be protected from vehicular and foot traffic in order to establish and maintain vegetation. Shoreline vegetation will stabilize and protect the shoreline from erosion. This protected area extends fifteen feet from the high-water mark of the Lake level. No person may be present within a protected shoreline area which is so posted. It is a trespass for anyone to be present within a protected shoreline area when the area is posted against entry. No person shall use a public park or public ground to enter or exit Centerville Lake for the pwpose of swimming, fishing, boating, or skating The committee was happy with the above interpretation of the Park Rules and would like Ms. Stephan to relay that information to Mr. Glaser and ask him to proceed with the next step in the process. Hidden Sorin!! Park The committee would like to make sure staff is aware of the signage that needs to be posted at the park in the spring. Ms. Stephan will pass that information onto Mr. Palzer. Vice-Chairperson Amundsen brought to the meeting copies of all emails between himself and all partied concerned regarding the planning, developing and failure of the lake store restoration, rain gardens and artesian weIl, as well as emails reflecting the progress of the wolk and problems as it was being completed. The amount of paperwork is extensive. As staff, council, the committee and the City Engineer, Mr. Mark Statz, have discussed, the work is not satisfactory and all parties hope to have it resolved in the spring. The committee feels the designs provided to Bonestroo from the committee via Mr. Greg Thompson, Anoka County Conservation, were guidelines that were not followed, now Bonestroo would like to charge the City additional funds to fix the problem by using the original design for stabilization submitted by Mr. Thompson in the first place. Mr. Statz reports the problems with the lake shore restoIation are because of high winds and fluctuating lake levels, when the lake levels were actually low, which should have """-iless problems, not more. Vice-Chairperson Amundsen said the bio logs were installed floating and Iater sunk. Also the stakes were not as long as suggested by the specifications. It was questioned whether the dirt that was eroded was going to be put back. The committee would like more information as to exactIy what Bonestroo's plan entails. The committee is also extremely disappointed in the rain garden and wants to make sure it works as it is supposed to. They do not feel the design specifications of Mr. Thompson were followed here either and stated as much as we have paid, why can't we make sure it works? The committee does not want 50f6
