Staff': Kim Stephan I. CALL TO ORDER 1. RoD Call Committee Member Peil called the August 3, 2005 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting to order at 6:40 p.m. IT. SET AGENDA Motion was made by Committee Member Peil, seconded by Committee Member Seeley to set the August 3, 2005 Parks & Recreation Committee Agenda as is. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. IV. APPEARANCES Mr. John Meyer, Finance Director, made an appearance to discuss a Federal Transportation Enhancement Fund Application Draft with the committee. The committee discussed the advantages of the sidewalk connections being proposed by the grant and the concern that these sidewalks/trails tie in to the existing trail plan. Committee Member PeU questioned whether the outcome will line up with the trail extensions planned on the S1. Genevieve property. Mr. Meyer assured the committee that the Parks & Recreation Committee's Trail Plan was reviewed when the grant application was drafted and the final outcome would eventually connect all the trails lof5 . Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes August 3, 2005 and sidewalks as proposed. Mr. Meyer did state however, that the sidewalk connection on the east side of Centerville Road from Heritage Street to the sidewalk in front of Chauncey Barett Gardens will probably not be possible due to the drainage ditch located on that property and the steep ditch involved. Committee Member Peil asked for the time frame on the grant application. Mr. Meyer stated it was due to be submitted by August 19,2005 and would be going before City Council at the next scheduled City Council Meeting. The decision process is lengthy and it would probably be six (6) months before a decision was made by the Grant Committee. Mr. Meyer also stated that the funds would not be available until 2009. One of the issues in the City's favor is that this particular grant application connects all the trail systems, as well as the proposed County Road 14 trail and the regional trail. Motion was made by Committee Member Seeley, seconded by Committee Member Peil to recommend to City Council accepting the Federal Transportation Enhancement Fund Application Draft as presented to the Parks & Recreation Committee as presented by Mr. John Meyer, Finance Director. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. IV. CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES Consideration of Julv 6. 2005 Parks and Recreation Committee Meetine Minutes Motion was made by Committee Member Peil, seconded by Committee Member Seeley to approve the July 6, 2005 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes as is. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. VL COMMITTEE BUSINESS Oath of Office - Ms. Linda Merkel & Mr. Kevin Amundsen Committee Member Amundsen was sworn in as a Parks & Recreation Committee Member. Ms. Linda Merkel was not present. 2006 Budeet The Committee looked at previous budget information supplied by Vice-Chairperson LeBlanc and briefly discussed the modifications that will need to be modified before submitting the budget to City Council. Due to the absence of Chairperson Peterson and Vice-Chairperson LeBlanc, the majority of the items need to be tabled until the full committee is present. Chairperson Peterson discussed the budget prior to leaving on vacation with Committee Member Peil who shared his input with the committee. The concern is the Parks & Recreation Committee has limited funds available to them in upcoming years with the city nearing being built out and the end of Park Dedication Fees. With the possible purchase of the property at 1601 LaMotte Drive, the renovation of Tracie McBride Memorial Park when the old water tower comes down, the addition of trail connections on the St. Genevieve property and connecting the Pheasant Marsh, 3rd Addition Trail to Center Street and the desire to have a play structure at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park, the committee feels it needs to request funs from the General Fund. The committee has not receiver, nor requested funds from the General Funds in 3-4 years. 20f5 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes August 3, 2005 The proposed budget will be supplied to the City Council following the September 7, 2005 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting. Motion was made by Committee Member Peil, seconded by Committee Member Seeley to request $25,000 from the General Fund to be transferred to Parks & Recreation Committee on an annual basis with this year's requested amount to be used for a play structure at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park. The Parks & Recreation Committee will submit a final budget proposal for the September 14, 2005 City Council Meeting. Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park Play Structure This item was discussed under the 2006 Budget. The committee would like to begin planning for a play structure to be installed in 2006. Frozen Fete des Lacs - Parks & Recreation Possibly Takini! Over Friday Nii!ht Event of Skatini!. Horse Drawn Hayride & Bonfire With the Economic Development Committee in the process of reviewing what direction the committee will take and their role in the community, it is a possibility there will not be a Frozen Fete des Lacs in 2006. EDC has discussed in the past whether the Parks & Recreation Committee would be willing to take over the Friday night event of Frozen Fete des Lacs since that has been well attended in the past. Committee Member Peil stated, in her opinion, having the lake flooded was a waste of time, energy and funds when all the facilities are already available at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park.. Ms. Stephan reminded the committee that at the time of year Frozen Fete des Lacs has been held there has not still been ice available on the rinks at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park. Another reason Friday night's activities were moved to the Anoka County Park was to use the bonfire pit available at the regional park. In the past the bonfire at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park was held in the parking lot, but once the parking lot was paved the fire had to be moved to another location. Committee Member Peil stated she would like to have the bonfire & hayride at one of the committee's annual Skate Nights at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park and suggested the soccer fields might work for a bonfire. The committee will discuss this further at the next scheduled meeting. VB. UPDATES Acorn Creek Park Satellite There were no residents in attendance to verbalize concerns in this matter. This item will be removed from the agenda and the satellite will remain where it is currently placed. Tracie McBride Memorial Park Renovation The committee previously budgeted $30,000 for renovations at this park. A clarification needs to be made as to when the old water tower will come down and a timeline for when renovations can start at the park. 30f5 . Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes August 3, 2005 Park Dedication Fees for Centerville Redi-Mix This information was included in the packet as an FYI to the committee members. Mr. Dennis Shudy addressed City Council at the June 22, 2005 City Council Meeting concerning Commercial Park Dedication Fees for Centerville Redi-Mix. Mr. Shudy asked Council to consider reducing the park fee for his building as when he started this process there were no fees for commercial park dedication. Council Member Lee indicated that after Mr. Shudy purchased his property, but before he obtained the permit, the fees were created. Council Member Lakso indicated she is concerned with reducing park fees as the City needs the money to fund park maintenance. Council Member Lee also stated the park fees are important to the City. Mayor Capra commented that there was an exception for the town home development because the process was in the works. City Attorney Hoeft indicated that the fee structure is set and if the City is going to deviate :from that then it needs to be a unique situation. Council Member Paar indicated this is a unique situation as the fees were raised and created for commercial development during Mr. Shudy's development. Mayor Capra agreed under these circumstances to reduce the park fee to $2,100. Council Member Terway indicated the City has a schedule of fees and asked whether this would set a precedent for reducing fees upon request. City Attorney Hoeft indicated that unique circumstances could justify the fee reduction and then said that the fact that this project was underway when the park fees were created for commercial development could be found to be a unique circumstance. Motion by Council Member Terway. seconded by Council Member Lee. to aoorove a reduction in Dark dedication fees and require Mr. Shudy to oay $2.100 and the rest of the fees remain the same. The reduction is based on the fact that the olans for the orooertv were submitted orior to the creation of the commercial Dark dedication fees. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. St. Paul Water Utility Prooertv on Centerville Lake The 2006 DNR Local Initiatives Grant Application for the Outdoor Recreation Grant Program for the purchase of 1601 LaMotte Drive was not approved for funding per notice the City received July 18, 2005.

Wheels Skate Park Equioment Chairperson Peterson was unavailable for an update.

The lights will be installed when the parts are available. 40f5 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes August 3, 2005 Church of St. Genevieve Trail Added to the packet were the recommendations to City Council from the Parks & Recreation Committee regarding the trail easements on the S1. Genevieve property and excerpts from the City Council Meeting Minutes with Council's responses. This was included as information for new members, but also as review. This will be added to the next committee agenda to be discussed as to when and how the committee would like to proceed with this item. Pheasant Marsh, Phase Three - Trail Added to the packet for review was information regarding the Parks & Recreation Committee's recommendation to City Council for the trail in Pheasant Marsh, Phase Three. This development was put on hold due to litigation in October 2003. The development is now moving forward, though a timeline is not currently available. In preparing a budget for 2006, the cost of the trail extension from the Pheasant Marsh, Phase Three Trail to Center Street along the west side of Outlot A, Center Oaks 2, will need to be added. IX.

As the Outdoor Ice Coordinator, I will take care of the initial scheduling of the rinks for outdoor practices and scrimmages. I will pass that information on to you, as well as the final coaches list, once the scheduling is complete. The scheduling should be completed by mid Uecember. Also, the coaChes/parents vvm once again be asked to help shovel the ice surface before and/or after using it. If at all possible, we would like to extend the time available for CYHA, aDowing whole sheets of ice for both hours. At a minimum, we would like to reserve the same hours at LaMotte Park for the 2005-2006 season, as we did in 2004-2005. Any additional ice time CYHA can schedule would be much appreciated. The days and times from the 2004-2005 season are as follows: Rink Days of the Week Time LaMotte Park Mondays - Thursdays 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. (half sheet ice) 8:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. (whole sheet ice) CYHA would also like to request to use LaMotte Park for fall dry land practices. Dry land training begins in October and runs until the start of outdoor ice. We use two other city parks for dry land season, and were hoping we could offer a third choice.

Please inform me as soon as possible, if there are any changes to this procedure and/or the schedule above.

Paul Water property near Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park. You are aware that discussion has gone back and forth about the purchase of the property and the Water Board seems to think it's appraisal is better than ours. The City has looked for grant funds to buy the parcel, but has not been successful in that regard. The Council passed a motion to prepare a purchase agreement to buy the S1. Paul Water parcel for park use at the City's appraised value. The Purchase Agreement will be prepared by the City attorney and presented to the Council at the next meeting to authorize that it be signed and sent to the S1. Paul Water Board. The purchase agreement would not have any contingencies. It is expected that the cost will be paid from park fees charged to developments. It is the Council's belief that the Park Board would concur with the decision to buy the property. If that is not the case, please provide a response before the next City Council meeting on September 14, 2005.

Proiect Overview The City of Centerville is proposing to construct pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages that complete the regional/local trail system by linking the downtown, the elementary school, the proposed CSAH 14 pedestrian-bicycle trail, the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve Trail, Chauncey Barett Gardens and Centerville Lake. More precisely, 8,770 lineal feet of trail will be constructed with appurtenances beginning at the existing trail on Lamotte Drive; continuing northeast on Lamotte Drive; intersecting at Heritage Street; continuing east on Heritage Street; intersecting with Centerville Road; proceeding north on Centerville Road; connecting and crossing CSAH 14; continuing north to Westview Street; and, ending at elementary school trail. Additional trail segments will be constructed adjacent to the City Hall site with a pedestrian bridge crossing the Clearwater Creek and adjacent to 20th Avenue from Fairview Street to CSAH 14. A trail rest park is also planned as a component of these linkages. Design and construction of the pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages will be coordinated with the CSAH 14 reconstruction and the downtown redevelopment. The pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages will allow trail users to travel between recreational areas, residential areas and employment centers. The City of Centerville currently has plans for the addition of new park amenities that will be complemented by the pedestrian/bicycle trial. The planned amenities include lake access and a fishing pier. The proposed pedestrian/bicycle trial segments, in combination with the new trail along CSAH 14, will provide access to the County trail system, including the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve trails, as well as the existing and proposed system in the City of Centerville (see Map 1). The City of Centerville participated in the completion of a North Metro Trail Plan in 2003 that proposes an overpass to I-35E. Implementation of the overpass will allow access from the CSAH 14 trail system to trails in Washington County. Within Washington County, in the City of Hugo, trail users will eventually be able to access a trail that will extend as far north as Duluth, Minnesota. The continuity of the trail system will enhance multi-modal travel between residential areas and employment centers in the project area. This application is being submitted for federal funding under the Transportation Enhancement category. The proposed project will: . Provide a safe/secure crossing for pedestrians/bicyclists utilizing city and county trail corridors for recreation and access to local and regiollal parks. · Conform to the Transportation Enhancements Purpose and Vision that trail corridors are designed to proVide for recreational opportunities within a metropolitan area. · Conform to the Metropolitan Council's 2030 Regional Development Framework. This policy promotes the implementation of fully interconnected arterial and local street, pathway and bikeway systems by local governments. · Conform to the Anoka County 2015 Transportation Plan and regional trail corridor plan (approved by the Metropolitan Council). · Conform to the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve - Master Plan approved by the Metropolitan Council. .

Prioritizinq Criteria Transportation Enhancement Category Criteria - Bike and Pedestrian Group 1. Urgency Takes advantage of a time-sensitive opportunity, e.g., a willing landowner, cost savings, affiliation with another project, competing development opportunities. The proposed pedestrian/bicycle trial project takes advantage of the current design and review work being completed by the Anoka County Highway Department for the reconstruction of CSAH 14: I-35W to I-35E. As part of the CSAH 14 project, the City of Centerville is also working with the County to coordinate the addition of trail links along CSAH 14 to community parks, residents and employment centers. The two projects can be simultaneously and efficiently considered by the County and the City. Significantly addresses a strong un-met need or area of concern/problem associated with the development of an integrated bicycle or pedestrian transportation network or providing a safe bicycle or pedestrian route. Centerville does not have a safe roadway pedestrian/bicycle routes and crossings between amenities, employment centers and residents. A safe crossing is particularly important on this roadway between the residential neighborhoods and the elementary school. The posted speed limit as high as 45 miles per hour, as well as high traffic volumes, does not afford pedestrians and bicyclists a safe opportunity to cross CSAH 14. The absence of a safe crossing affects the use of the proposed CSAH 14: I-35W to I-35E trail and the use of the extended system of existing and future Anoka and Washington County pedestrian and bicycle trails. The pedestrian/bicycle trial will provide a continuous connection between the portions of parkland east and west of CSAH 14, including existing and future park amenities. 2 2. Readiness · Evidence of community support for project The City of Centerville is supportive of the pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages and trail system, proposed in this project. Refer to Appendices for the support letters. In 2004, the city began meeting with other local government officials form the City of Lino Lakes and Anoka County to discuss and receive input for the proposed reconstruction of CSAH 14 between 1- 3SW and I-3SE, which included plans for the proposed pedestrian and bicycle pedestrian/bicycle trial. Private citizens in the city have also shown their support for the project. Early in the project review process, persons were invited to public meetings, where information was presented for the CSAH 14 reconstruction project. Many of the meeting attendees commented on the need for pedestrian and bicycle facilities in the project corridor and their concern for safe roadway crossings. The city continues to meet with the local governments to plan for the CSAH 14 project and also welcomes additional public comments and questions. · Willing partners and landowners identified The general public and the local government support the proposed pedestrian/bicycle trial as part of the overall CSAH 14 roadway and trail project. The City of Centerville Park and Recreation Committee support the proposed pedestrian/bicycle trial and trail project. Refer to the support evidence in Appendices. 3. Impact A. Bike/Pedestrian Infrastructure · Fills gaps, overcomes barriers, and/or connects system segments in pedestrian/bicycle network There is a substantial gap in the pedestrian/bicycle network in the Centerville. These gaps are in critical locations. More precisely, these gaps include the link between Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve / Lamotte Park the elementary school crossing CSAH 14. In addition to this link, gaps exist between residential neighborhoods, employment centers, the downtown, community parks, CSAH 14 and regional parks and trails. CSAH 14 presents a barrier in the pedestrian/bicycle network. Pedestrians and bicyclists accept a substantial safety risk crossing from one side of CSAH 14 to the other. The pedestrian/biCYcle trial linkages will eliminate the barrier that CSAH 14 presents to pedestrians and bicyclists crossing the roadway. The proposed project fills these gaps by connecting the local trails to the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve/ Lamotte Park to the elementary school crossing CSAH 14. In addition to this link, the proposed project links residential neighborhoods, employment centers, the downtown, community parks, CSAH 14 and regional parks and trails. The proposed pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages will provide a missing trail network link for pedestrians and bicyclists traveling between Centerville, Anoka County and bordering counties. 3 · Project provides a high-demand facility or program Centerville is rapidly developing into an employment and residential center contiguous to I35E. The proposed pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages will be situated in this high-demand recreational area and will benefit from the proposed pedestrian/bicycle trial. Centerville is adjacent to Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve which has documented approximately 78,200 visitors per year on the park trails. This annual use estimate was taken from the Annual Use Estimate of the Metropolitan Regional Parks System for 2004. A substantial portion of these visitors can be estimated to originate from the greater metropolitan area. Use of the proposed pedestrian/bicycle trial links, along with the addition of new trail along CSAH 14, can only be anticipated to increase based on the improved ability to circulate between park amenities east and west of CSAH 14. The pedestrian/bicycle trial will also support trail users along CSAH 14 traveling between residential areas and employment centers. · Provides/supports multimodal transportation The pedestrian/bicycle trial linkage project will support multimodal transportation by providing an alternative to motorized vehicle circulation within the city, the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve and between the residential areas and employment centers along CSAH 14. The safety and improved access proVided by the pedestrian/bicycle trial will also promote the pedestrian and bicycle use of existing and future City and County trails in exchange for motorized vehicle use. · Addresses safety concerns The proposed pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages address safety concerns on CSAH 14 between I-35W and I-35E which carries high volumes of traffic at posted speed limits as high as of 45 miles per hour (mph) and can present an unsafe condition for motorized and non-motorized travelers. Currently, traffic volumes of approximately 6,000 vehicles per day, are experienced along the portion of CSAH 14 near the pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages. In 2030, the anticipated daily traffic volumes for this same area are anticipated to be 13,300 vehicles per day. The opportunity for motorized/non-motorized vehicle conflict is substantial without the proposed pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages. B. Bike/Ped Programs For the proposed project, it is appropriate to respond to A. (Bike/Ped Infrastructure) but not appropriate to respond to B. (Bike/Ped Programs). 4 4. Context Applicant community's/agency's demonstrated commitment to and experience in bike/pedestrian facilities and programs The city has demonstrated their commitment to and experience in bike/pedestrian facilities and programs, with the abundance of trails provided throughout the city. Consistent with the city park and trail plan and the Rice Creek Chain of Lake Regional Park Reserve - Master Plan, the city continues to demonstrate it's commitment to recreation and transportation trail facilities through the planning and implementation of these facilities as part of roadway projects and as part of the transition of park property from passive use to active use. · Commitment to operation and maintenance The City of Centerville ensures that trail facilities are properly operated and maintained either by direct responsibility. The city has provided a letter of support and commitment to operation and maintenance for this project. Attention to other facilities The proposed pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages have been planned as part the downtown redevelopment and the CSAH 14: 1-35W to 1-35E reconstruction project mindful of other facilities in the area including trail plans for CSAH 14 west of 1-35W and recognizing the trail resources available in Washington County, east of 1-35E. At a local level, the trail takes advantage of the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve amenities, including trails, the Centerville's local trails and sidewalks. The pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages will also provide an enhanced connection to transit facilities. The CSAH 14 corridor currently serves two commuter bus routes for Metro Transit. Reconstruction plans for the 1-35E interchange to the east include a new park- and-ride in the southeast quadrant of the interchange. Transit service in this area currently connects to a large transit hub located near the junction of TH 242/CSAH 14 and US 10. From here, Centerville residents have access to the rest of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Project compatibility with surrounding land uses / management/ facilities The project is compatible with surrounding land uses, including the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve, residential areas, the City of Centerville elementary school and existing and planned retail, commercial and industrial land uses in Centerville. Pedestrians and bicyclists will have the opportunity to safely travel to, from and within the city, the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve, to connect to transit facilities and to travel between employment centers and residential areas with the construction of the pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages. The proposed pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages are consistent with the management of the city trail system. The pedestrian/bicycle trial will also complement the large regional park with designated active areas (including recreational and educational areas) and passive areas for natural preservation. The overall trail use will be consistent with the City of Centerville's intended use for the area. 5 The pedestrian/bicycle trial will be compatible with planned trail facilities in the city by providing an un-met need for a safe and continuous trail system. 5. Relationship between Categories · What is the relationship to the Scenic and Environmental group? The proposed project is related to the Scenic and Environmental group due to its location within and access to the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve and Clearwater Creek. The pedestrian/bicycle trial linkage will provide easy access from the future CSAH 14 trail to community and park resources. The Clearwater Creek! Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve contain significant native wildlife habitat as identified by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Native plant and animal life abounds. Park visitors may see muskrats, red fox, grey & red squirrel, woodchuck, weasel, deer, resident birds such as pheasant and pileated woodpeckers, and a variety of migratory waterfowl. Habitats are rich and varied and include heavily wooded areas, wetlands, prairie, lakes, flood plains, and open fields. Park visitors can view wildlife from the interpretive Wargo Nature Center or by using the easily accessible self-guided trails within the park. The overall project area is also known for its numerous water resources including Peltier Lake and Centerville Lake. Species known to inhabit the area include blandings turtles, blue heron and bald eagles. What is the relationship to the Historic and Archaeological group? The proposed pedestrian/bicycle trial linkage is related to the Historic and Archaeological group because of its connection to the CSAH 14 trail, which will cross areas of significant archaeological history in the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve. More precisely, a segment of the CSAH trail from the park entrance to 1-35E is known for its archaeological history including a remaining Native American burial mound. Study of the area's archaeological resources is ongoing and may further identify archaeological resources and opportunities for the park to use the resources for educational purposes. General/Integrative Criteria 1. Relationship to Intermodal/Multimodal Transportation System a. The proposed project will be related to surface transportation through its association with motorized traffic and its ability to directly improve safety by reducing conflicts between motorized and non-motorized vehicles. The pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages that cross CSAH 14 are currently experiencing volumes of approximately 6,000 vehicles per day. These volumes are anticipated to double by 2030. The pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages will provide safe crossings and therefore reduce the potential for motorized/non-motorized vehicle conflicts along the high- volume roadway. The pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages are also related to surface transportation through its connection with the County walkways/bikeways. The pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages and the overall trail system contribute to the areas multi-modal transportation system by providing a pathway for pedestrians and bicyclists. The proposed project will improve circulation and access between the existing and future planned trails in the City of Centerville, Anoka County 6 and Washington County, including the City of Hugo. The pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages will also as part of the city trail system and provide a connection between residential areas and employment centers. b. The proposed pedestrian/bicycle trial linkage project will function as a component and enhancement of the transportation system due to its ability to provide a safe crossing of CSAH 14 for pedestrians and bicyclists and its ability to reduce conflicts/accidents between motorized and non-motorized travelers. CSAH 14 has and will continue to experience increased traffic volumes which pose a safety concern for pedestrians and bicyclists wishing to cross from one side of the park to the other. The implementation of pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages along CSAH 14 will increase travel efficiency and safety by reducing the potential for conflicts between motorized and non-motorized travelers. Many modes of transportation will have enhanced ability to appreciate the area's natural scenery and access to the park. Pedestrians and bicyclists will also be encouraged to use the local and County trail systems because of the safety improvement. The proposed project will benefit users of the transportation system and multiple modes of transportation by increasing pedestrian and bicycle safety which should in turn support the use of alternative travel modes to the car, between recreational, residential and work locations in Anoka County and beyond. While pedestrians and bicyclists will benefit from the conflict-free crossing, motorists will also have a reduced risk of hitting a pedestrian or bicyclist. 2. Extent of Public Benefit from the Project The proposed pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages will provide more than a local benefit. Trail users throughout the city and County will experience benefits from the pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages due to its key contribution to the Regional Trail corridor. Trail users traveling between Centerville, Lino Lakes, Anoka and Washington Counties, including travel on the vast system of Washington County trails immediately east of the CSAH 14/I-35E interchange, will benefit from the proposed pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages. From the City of Hugo in Washington County, trail users will eventually be able to travel as far north as Duluth, Minnesota. While the local trail systems provide a vast array of opportunities for pedestrians and bicyclists to circulate to/from the local area, the pedestrian/bicycle trial also benefits those wishing to visit the area to use non-motorized amenities. Many opportunities are available today for such use in the Rice Creek.Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve plus future plans for lake access and a fishing pier. In 2004, it was estimated that approximately 78,200 visitors used the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve trails in this area. This estimate was taken from year-round usage. A substantial portion of these visitors can be estimated to originate from areas beyond the local area. The draw to visit the Centerville area for its environmental resources is immense with the parks and trails providing the most significant native wildlife habitat in the metropolitan area. A visitor has the opportunity to encounter muskrats, red fox, grey & red squirrel, woodchuck, weasel, deer, resident birds such as pheasant and pileated woodpeckers, and a variety of migratory waterfowl in their varying habitat including heavily wooded areas, wetlands, prairie, lakes, flood plains, and open fields. Visitors can also visit the interpretive Wargo Nature Center or take a self-guided tour to learn more about the wildlife and habitat in the area. The existence of an intact Native American burial mound along the CSAH 14 also 7 allows trail users the opportunity to recognize the archaeological history of this area laden with lakes. The overall public safety benefit of the pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages must also be recognized. At least three modes of transportation will have a reduced chance of conflict with the addition of the pedestrian/bicycle trial. Pedestrians and bicyclists will be able to safely cross CSAH 14 from one side to the other and motorists will have a reduced chance of hitting these pedestrians and bicyclists while they are doing so. 3. Development Framework Implementation a. Employment, Housing and Transportation Integration The Metropolitan Council's 2030 Regional Development Framework identifies Centerville as a "developing community". Therefore, following are responses consistent with an urban area project. 1) a development with an interconnected system of local streets, pedestrian, and bicycle facilities. The pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages, while located in the City of Centerville, will also connects via the CSAH 14 trail system to the to the interconnected system of local streets in the City of Lino Lakes and county roads in Anoka County. The pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages in association with the CSAH 14 trail will also interconnect with the system of trails in the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve and the local in the Cities of Centerville and Lino Lakes. Land uses in the immediate vicinity of the pedestrian/bicycle trial linkage will be provided a safe connection to downtown Centerville (to the east) and the developing portions of Centerville. Centerville is currently experiencing rapid planning for the development of currently vacant or undeveloped land. The pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages will benefit circulation within the city and complement the existing and planned local street systems. 2) a neighborhood revitalization area. The proposed pedestrian/bicycle trial linkage will serve the downtown revitalization area in Centerville. The City has received two Community Development Block Grants and created a tax increment financing district to revitalize downtown Centerville at CSAH 14 and Centerville Road. Together with the City sidewalk system, the pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages and the trail along CSAH 14 will provide a connection to this area. 3) a redevelopment area of increased intensification and integrated land uses. The proposed pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages in association with the CSAH 14 trail will reach a redevelopment area in Centerville. The City has received two Community Development Block Grants and created a tax increment financing district to revitalize the redevelopment area (downtown Centerville) at CSAH 14 and Centerville Road. Land uses in the redevelopment area, whether residential, commercial or retail, will be enhanced by the access to/from the CSAH 14 trail and associated pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages. 8 4) an existing or proposed center of economic development. The proposed pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages in association with the CSAH 14 trail will reach the City of Centerville which is currently experiencing the development of vacant land along CSAH 14. The City views this development as an expansion of the existing economic center. 5) a center of development on a transit way or a high volume transit facility. The trail along CSAH 14 and the associated pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages will benefit development along a high-volume transit way. The transit service along the 1- 35E corridor reaches into the downtowns of Minneapolis and St. Paul as well as the greater Metropolitan Area. Transit demand for this area is only anticipated to increase with current development plans for Centerville. As identified by the Metropolitan Council, the City of Centerville is a "developing" city. 6) a brownfield revitalization project. The project will not serve or benefit a brownfield revitalization area. 7) Access between housing and employment. The pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages in association with the CSAH 14 trail will proVide access between the area's residential land uses, which are primarily comprised of single family homes, and employment. As the City of Centerville responses to increased housing demands in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, including an increased demand for life-cycle housing, the trail and associated pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages will provide a connection between housing and employment centers in downtown Centerville and along the 1-35E corridor. The connection to the 1-35E corridor also provides a connection between housing and employment, including employment in a broader segment of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. 8) Access to existing or planned affordable or life-cycle housing development. Access to existing or planned affordable or life-cycle housing development will be met with the proposed project. The City of Centerville has the opportunity to respond to the housing demand with the development of vacant land just beyond Main Street (CSAH 14) in downtown Centerville. 4. Maturity of the Project Concept The proposed project has developed to the stage of preliminary design with plans being coordinated with the 2006 to 2007 construction plans for CSAH 14. A preliminary design for the pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages, have been prepared by the City of Centerville. The design for the pedestrian/bicycle trial linkages have been reviewed by the city's park and recreation committee as well as the city council. 9 Appendix K Project Implementation Schedule 1 Project Scope Stake Holders have been identified ~ Meetings or contract with Stake Holders have occurred 2 Layout and Preliminary Plan Identified Alternatives Selected Alternatives _ Layout or Preliminary Plan started ~ Layout or Preliminary Plan completed Anticipated date or date of completion 3 Environmental Documentation EIS x EA PM Document Status X Document not started Document in progress, environmental impacts identified _ Document submitted to State Aid for review (date submitted ) Document approved (need copy of signed cover sheet) Anticipated date or date of completion 4 R/W X No R/W required R/W required, parcels not identified R/W required, parcels identified R/W has been required Anticipated date or date of completion 5 Construction Documents/Plans ~ Construction plans have not been started _ Construction plans in progress Anticipated date or date of completion _ Construction plans completed/approved 6 Letting Anticipated Letting Date Aug-09 10 Appendices Appendix 1 - Maps Project Map Centerville Parks and Trails Map Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve Map Lino Lakes Parks and Trails Map Appendix 2 - Support Materials Appendix 3 - Redevelopment & Revitalization Plans Livable Communities Demonstration Account Project Tax Increment Financing District 1-6 (Downtown Redevelopment) 11 Appendix 1 Maps Project Map Centerville Parks and Trails Map Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve Map Uno Lakes Parks and Trails Map 12 Appendix 2 Support Materials 13 COUNTY OF ANOKA Public Services Division HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT 1440 BUNKER LAKE BLVD.

Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes August 3, 2005 PARKS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, August 3,2005 - 6:00 p.m. Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the Parks and Recreation Committee of the City of Centerville held the regularly scheduled meeting on August 3, 2005, at City Hall, 1880 Main Street. Present: Committee Member Suzanne Seeley Committee Member Kathy Peil Committee Member Mr. Kevin Amundsen M[ill@~~[J@\YJ@@] Absent: Chairperson Tedd Peterson Vice-Chairperson Wayne LeBlanc Committee Member Linda Merkel Council: Absent - City Council Work Session being held at the same time. Staff: Kim Stephan I. CALL TO ORDER 1. Roll Call Committee Member Peil called the August 3, 2005 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting to order at 6:40 p.m. II. SET AGENDA Motion was made by Committee Member Peil, seconded by Committee Member Seeley to set the August 3, 2005 Parks & Recreation Committee Agenda as is. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. IV. APPEARANCES . Mr. John Meyer, Finance Director, made an appearance to discuss a Federal Transportation Enhancement Fund Application Draft with the committee. The committee discussed the advantages of the sidewalk connections being proposed by the grant and the concern that these sidewalks/trails tie in to the existing trail plan. Committee Member Peil questioned whether the outcome wi11line up with the trail extensions planned on the St. Genevieve property. Mr. Meyer assured the committee that the Parks & Recreation Committee's Trail Plan was reviewed when the grant application was drafted and the final outcome would eventually connect all the trails 10f5 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes August 3, 2005 and sidewalks as proposed. Mr. Meyer did state however, that the sidewalk connection on the east side of Centerville Road from Heritage Street to the sidewalk in front of Chauncey Barett Gardens will probably not be possible due to the drainage ditch located on that property and the steep ditch involved. Committee Member Peil asked for the time frame on the grant application. Mr. Meyer stated it was due to be submitted by August 19, 2005 and would be going before City Council at the next scheduled City Council Meeting. The decision process is lengthy and it would probably be six (6) months before a decision was made by the Grant Committee. Mr. Meyer also stated that the funds would not be available until 2009. One of the issues in the City's favor is that this particular grant application connects all the trail systems, as well as the proposed County Road 14 trail and the regional trail. Motion was made by Committee Member Seeley, seconded by Committee Member Peil to recommend to City Council accepting the Federal Transportation Enhancement Fund Application Draft as presented to the Parks & Recreation Committee as presented by Mr. John Meyer, Finance Director. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. IV. CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES Consideration of Julv 6. 2005 Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes Motion was made by Committee Member Peil, seconded by Committee Member Seeley to approve the July 6, 2005 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes as is. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. VI. COMMITTEE BUSINESS Oath of Office - Ms. Linda Merkel & Mr. Kevin Amundsen Committee Member Amundsen was sworn in as a Parks & Recreation Committee Member. Ms. Linda Merkel was not present. 2006 Budget The Committee looked at previous budget information supplied by Vice-Chairperson L~Blanc and briefly discussed the modifications that will need to be modified before submitting the budget to City Council. Due to the absence of Chairperson Peterson and Vice-Chairperson LeBlanc, the majority of the items need to be tabled until the full committee is present. Chairperson Peterson discussed the budget prior to leaving on vacation with Committee Member Peil who shared his input with the committee. The concern is the Parks & Recreation Committee has limited funds available to them in upcoming years with the city nearing being built out and the end of Park Dedication Fees. With the possible purchase of the property at 1601 LaMotte Drive, the renovation of Tracie McBride Memorial Park when the old water tower comes down, the addition of trail connections on the St. Genevieve property and connecting the Pheasant Marsh, 3rd Addition Trail to Center Street and the desire to have a play structure at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park, the committee feels it needs to request funs from the General Fund. The committee has not receiver, nor requested funds from the General Funds in 3-4 years. 20f5 City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes August 10,2005 2.

Dock Installation on Drainage Ponds - League of MN Cities Insurance Trust Memo CouIl;cil discussed the potentialliability the City would face should there be an accident or injury on a City pond and agreed that all docks must be removed. The City Attorney suggested requiring a natural buffer of non-mowed vegetation around the ponds to discourage anyone from playing near them. He also said the City has the option of fencing but it has not been the policy to do so. City Attorney Hoeft said from a policy standpoint the policy is that the City does not fence the drainage ponds first, because of the costs and maintenance of doing so and, secondly, because the ponds are not of a design or nature that really raise the concerns of the type of dangers that might exist for animals or small children.
