RE: Chain of Lakes — Bald Eagle Regional Trail Master Plan
Dear Dallas:
The Anoka County Parks and Recreation Department would like to invite you to review and
comment on the proposed Chain of Lakes -Bald Eagle Regional Trail Master Plan, which is
attached with this letter.
As you are aware, the proposed trail is approximately 3 miles long and follows CSAH
21 /Centerville Road north -south through the cities of Centerville and Lino Lakes. The proposed
trail provides a critical link between the two cities and it connects the Central Anoka County and
the Bunker -Chain of Lakes regional trails, as well as the Ramsey County bikeway system, Bald
Eagle -Otter Lakes Regional Park and Tamarack Nature Center.
The County is requesting input and comment on the master plan from the local cities and
regulatory agencies, as well as the public. The County will conduct an open house to receive
public input on the proposed trail master plan on March 25 2014 from 4:30pm to 6:30pm at
Centerville City Hall.
Please provide any comments regarding this master plan in written form to my attention at the
address listed above or via e-mail at karen.blaska @co.anoka.mn.us, by March 26 2014. Any
comments received will be incorporated into the final Master Plan. Once the master plan is
complete, the County will request the City pass a resolution of support for the plan.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me at 763 - 767 -2865.
Thank you and regards,

FIGURE 5
Anoka County will be building a portion of the Chain of Lakes -Bald Eagle Regional Trail in
2014/15 as part of a road reconstruction project along CSAH 21 between Dupre and
Heritage Streets in Centerville. Refer to Figure 3 for extent of trail construction. The
draft layout for the project is illustrated in the Appendix of this report. Any additional
right of way needed for this reconstruction project will be acquired as part of the road
project and will not be considered for reimbursement through a future Metropolitan
Council's Regional Parks Capital Improvement or Parks and Trails Legacy grant funding
request.
The remaining proposed trail will be completed when the rest of Centerville Road south
of Dupre Street is reconstructed and expanded. Right of way acquisition for this ••
segment of the trail would affect 22 parcels. A list of potentially affected parcels is '
shown in Table 1. Straight right of way acquisition is estimated to be $294,000, but, once
this Master Plan is approved, the County will work with the cities to require future
development of these parcels to include enough rights of way for the trail or to provide
trail easements across the parcels to keep acquisition costs to a minimum. While it is not
anticipated that right of way or easement acquisition will be an issue, if the small
amounts of right of way or easement cannot be dedicated when development occurs or
acquired, the County would then purchase the entire impacted parcel, designate the
needed right of way and sell the remainder of the parcel at market value. If whole parcel
acquisition is required, the estimated cost is approximately $4,367,80o based on the .;
current assessed value for 2014. Market rate appraisals have not been conducted to
date, but will be conducted prior to any acquisition or funding request to the
Metropolitan Council.

TABLE
Demand Forecast
Regional parks and trails have been increasing in popularity, and as the population grows
the need for additional recreation sources and amenities grow as well. The populations
in the City of Centerville and Lino Lakes are anticipated to grow steadily, as is the overall
population in Anoka County.
Population Forecast'

Year Centerville Lino Lakes County
2010 4,918 20,216 330,844 •
2040 5,700 28,000 415,750
According to preliminary Metropolitan Council forecasts for 2040, the metro regional
area is anticipated to grow by 31% between 2010 and 2040 and in the metropolitan area,
seniors are expected to equal one -half of the total population growth. As the population
increases and ages demand for easily accessible outdoor recreation opportunities and
open spaces will increase. •;
The outdoor recreational use patterns in the metropolitan area have also been growing
steadily. Recreational visits to Anoka County regional trails have increased from 583,600
to just over 870,000 in 2012.
In addition, according to the Outdoor Foundation:
E.`
Outdoor recreation reached the highest participation
level in five years. Outdoor recreation added three ;
million participants in 2011 — a significant
improvement over the past few years when .
participation either dropped or remained stagnant.
In addition, the Statewide Health Improvement Program p -
(SHIP) is promoting living longer, healthier lives through the
reduction in obesity and increased physical activity. Anoka

County has received past SHIP grants to increase access to parks and trails and increase
education regarding health, wellness and outdoor recreation. Refer to Figure 16 for an
example of a SHIP funded project. This project, in cooperation with the Blue Cross Blue
Shield "Do" campaign, provided park and trail wayfinding and healthy lifestyle
information.
In addition, user demand and the SHIP program has allowed the County to create the Go
Anoka County website (goanokacounty.org),
which is a site created to provide information
related to parks and recreation facilities, GO ' ANOKA COU
promote access to those facilities to make is •

Total 51,973400
There may be some cost savings on this estimate, if this trail can be constructed as part
of a future roadway reconstruction project or if right of way can be dedicated as part of
the future parcel development.
The schedule for construction of this trail will depend on right of way acquisition,
roadway reconstruction, future development along the trail corridor and funding
availability; therefore, no schedule for trail development has been determined. The Parks
and Recreation Department will continue to work with local cities and the Anoka County
Highway Department to implement this trail as development and redevelopment occurs.
Conflicts
Conflicts related to trail redevelopment will be kept to a minimum through proper
planning and community involvement. With any new development or redevelopment in
existing residential areas, there are common concerns among the area residents that are
adjacent to the trail.
One of these concerns is the effect the increased usage of the trail will have on their
safety, security and privacy. Generally, regional trails in the metropolitan area do not ;
have a high number of criminal activities related to use. A typical concern is vandalism
and damage to vehicles. The County provides Park Ranger patrols and works with the
local police and the Anoka County Sheriff's Office to ensure the regional trails are safe
and secure.
Privacy is also a concern and Anoka County typically works with affected residents to •
minimize the perceived impacts. Because the majority of the trail is adjacent to county
roads, development of this trail will most likely occur when the roadways are upgraded
and resident concerns regarding the trail can be addressed with any concerns regarding
the roadway construction. Anoka County does not anticipate there to be conflicts with
the area residents. If issues do arise, a variety of methods for mitigation techniques can
be utilized, with the best methods being determined by Anoka County.
Conflicts between pedestrians and vehicular traffic will be kept to a minimum by working
with the County Highway Department and the local cities to ensure safe crossings at road
intersections and driveways for pedestrians and bicyclists. In addition, signing along the
trail will alert users of potential conflict areas, i.e. street crossings, driveway crossings,
pedestrian cross - traffic, etc., and will provide way- finding and interpretive information.
Public Services
There are no new non - recreational related public services that will be required for the
completion of this trail. Both local and regional parks in the north segment of the trail
and the local and regional parks in Ramsey County will provide the necessary facilities
required for trail users, i.e. parking lot, restrooms, drinking fountain and benches.
Limited services will also be available at retail establishments near downtown Centerville.
Operations
The Anoka County Park Ordinance, dated January 24 2012 regulates parks and trails
under the jurisdiction of Anoka County. Education and enforcement is provided through ••
the Anoka County Park Rangers, the local police departments and the Anoka County '
Sheriff's Department.
Anoka County typically partners with the local cities through either a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) or a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) to provide for the
maintenance of regional trails. Typically, the MOU or JPA is executed prior to trail
construction and outlines what agency is responsible for general routine maintenance of
the trail and what agency is responsible for capital improvements to the trail in their
jurisdiction.
The County is typically responsible for the daily and general routine maintenance of trails
within regional or county parks. This includes mowing, sweeping, plowing, clearing,
debris removal, etc. Outside of regional and county park facilities, the local cities are
responsible for daily trail maintenance. Solid waste is typically collected from trash
receptacles located along the trail at regular intervals by the local agencies. Anoka
County will inspect the trail annually and will provide the capital improvements that are
needed and will provide the long -term maintenance required, such as bituminous
overlays, crack - sealing, etc. Trail signage is provided and maintained by the County.
Annual maintenance costs for the Chain of Lakes -Bald Eagle Regional Trail are estimated
to be about $10,000. This includes dollars for sign replacements, minor bituminous repair
and crack - sealing. Revenue for the operation and maintenance of the trail comes from
the Anoka County Parks and Recreation Department's annual operations and
maintenance budget, which includes revenues from picnic shelter rentals, room rentals,
programs, parks entrance fees and the County general fund. Supplementary funding is
provided through the Regional Park Operations and Maintenance Grant Program.
Citizen Participation
Anoka County worked is currently working with regulatory agencies and local units of
government in the master planning process of this trail. In addition, an open house is
scheduled for March 25, 2014 to receive public comment on the proposed plan. A notice
advertising the open house will be published in the local weekly newspaper and on the
Anoka County website. Post card invitations will also be mailed out to adjacent residents
and local city and county officials.
Comments received from the public and the local and regulatory agencies will be _
incorporated into this master plan.
Refer to Appendix for the public notices, letters requesting comments, comments
received from the public and from the municipal and regulatory agencies that responded.
Public Awareness •'
Public awareness is an important component to regional park and trail systems. The
County will provide public education efforts through the Metropolitan Council's regional- •'
wide awareness program, as well as, public information maps, websites
( kn!wkA,,anokacountyparks.com & www.anokacounty.us), social media, publications and
brochures provided by Anoka County Parks and Recreation Department.
Accessibility
Anoka County continually strives to provide
equal access to all residents of Anoka County
and the region. Park and trail use is open to
any and all citizens. While there is a nominal f - - -- -.=
parking fee in some of the regional parks, 285
there is not a fee for trail use. This eliminates 275
any economic barriers for trail users. A a
portion of the trail corridor is located along
the 275 and 285 transit routes, with three park
and ride lots along the trail corridor. See
Figure x for map of transit access. In addition,
the Anoka County Traveler Transit Link and
Metro Transit's Mobility Link provide
transportation services for a minimal fee. This

service offers rides-to specific locations and is available to those in need.
The facilities and amenities along the trail will conform to the standards mandated by the
Americans with Disabilities Act.
Joint Powers Agreements
Since regional trails cross multiple jurisdictions, a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) or
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is generally executed prior to construction of the
trail. The JPA or MOU addresses who has control over the trail right -of -way, how that
control is exercised, who will operate and maintain the trail and how operations and
maintenance will be accomplished. The JPA outlines that the trail is open and available to
all users (not restricted by residence) with only controls on the type of use and
timing /season of the permitted use(s). JPA's are in place for the duration of the trail's life
cycle.

IV. OLD BUSINESS - Reconsider Findings and Decision on Interim Use Permit -
Rehbein Black Dirt
Administrator Larson reported that DNR had finally offered comments on the proposed
Interim Use Permit. He had asked them back in August, 2013, whether they had concerns
about continuing of the black dirt operation, and they responded "no" at that time.
However, their recent reply was that the location in the floodway would be a potential
problem and that the operator should provide a "No Rise Certificate" indicating that the
use in the floodway would not cause an unacceptable increase in flood stage upstream.
Larson met with Mr. Rehbein who stated that he would rather move the dirt pile out of the
floodway than spend the money on an engineer to do the "Certificate." The revised
Interim Use Permit gives Rehbein the option of supplying the "No Rise Certificate" or
moving the pile out of the floodway, but either way must complete his choice by July 1,
2014. DNR is okay with the revised language in the permit.
Motion by Commissioner Wood, seconded by Commissioner Lee to adopt the findings and
recommendation in favor of the interim use permit as revised and recommending the IUP
with the changes noted. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously.
