I __ _ _ NQT APPROVED CITY OF CENTERVILLE PARK AND RECREATION COMMITTEE March 3, 1999 Pursuant_to due_call and notice thereof, the Park and Recreation Committee of the City of Centerville held their regularly scheduled meeting on March 3, 1999 at City Ha11, 1880 Main Street. Chairperson Michael Navin called the meeting to order at 6:35. p.m. Present: Chairperson Michael Navin Don Bahneman Da1e Las Terry Sweeney Absent: Steve Brown Doug Porter , Staff: Jill Lien James Bownik I ROLL CALL Michael Navin opened up the Public Hearing by requesting James Bownik, City Intern to , give a brief summary of the two (2) grants offered by the DNR. The City is applying for � two of the same grants one to be used at the Acorn Creek Park and one to be used at the ' LaMotte Park. Mr. Bownik explained they aze a 50% matching grant - each in the amount of $50,000.00. The City would contribute $50,000.00 and with the match of $50,000.00, there would be approximately $100,000.00 for each park. The money could be used for City pazk improvements such as: playground equipment, picnic shelters, concession stand, soccer fields, benches, trash receptacles, lights, BBQ stands etc., at both pazks. Michael Navin mentioned receipt of a packet of information submitted by the Centerville Neighborhood Network Committee which included surveys taken the week of February 20th. The results of the surveys are in the form of graphs and charts indicating what the neighboring residents would like to see in the pazk, the name of the park, other statistical information and letters of support. . . Aimee Fairbrother (1844 Revoir Street) stressed her and the neighborhoods concerns about what was mentioned at the last Park and Recreation meeting about the vision of Acorn Creek Park being geared more towards adults. Ms. Fairbrother mentioned how the ' City is very focused on youth and a possible youth center in the City. She went on further � to explain that the Neighborhood Network Committee went to 76 homes in the immediate area surrounding Acorn Creek Park. Out of the 76 homes, 63 were available for comment. The survey included the number of children per household which totaled 114. Aimee went on further to explain the neighborhood (63%) wanted the park to be named Aeorn Creek Park. Jeff.Gibbons (7203 Clear Ridge) questioned_the open space - he felt Acorn Creek Park is a very large park. Loren Abraha.mson (1868 Revoir) questioned what the average size park is and wha.t is normal in a park the size of Acorn Creek? Intern James Bownik suggested thax the City could choose to have the City Engineer do a survey of the park. Michael Navin felt the Tracey McBride Park is about half the size of the Acorn Creek Park. Mr. Navin stressed the Park and Recreation Committee needs to consider what the City has in mind as far as athletics. Tom Fairbrother (1844 Revoir Street) questioned pa.rking, and if it would be required to have designated parking. James Bownik felt it would be required to have a.minimum of handicap pazking / off street parking versus no parking. Da1e Larson stated the Pa.rk and Recreation Committee is trying to gear the City pa.rks to all residents of Centerville. Mr. Larson listed several parks and their amenities, adding it would be nice to have a pa,rk for adults and family reunions, etc. Not that the adults using , the parks will be hobbling around with canes - we could still have playground equipment for the children. Tom Fairbrother (1844 Revoir Street) stated that the adults have the ability to drive to any park they choose to go to. The children aren't able to drive to other parks like the adults are, and that no matter what goes into the Acorn Creek Park, the children of the area will be there - no matter what. Adding, the other "proposed" park by the lake could ' be desi ed more for adults - it would be a erfect s ot for adults and reunions, etc.. � P P 7ill Lien (1810 Hayfield Road) questioned why the Acorn Creek Park cannot be designed for both adults and children. Adding, if adults use the park for reunions, then their grandchildren will be using the playground equipment. This park is lazge enough to serve all ages. Why does it have to be one or the other? 2 Monica. Travis (7335 Brian Drive) was in agreement with Ms. Lien. Adding, there aze 20 acres north of Acorn Creek thax are being developed - this will bring more kids. Monica felt this park should be designed for kids and adults to use. Monica. questioned if there would be additional traffic and where parking would be. Adding, there is a proposed trail and perhaps parking could be at a different location. She questioned if grant funds could be used to secure a parking lot. Dale Larson thought parking was planned all-along at the Acorn Creek Park. There are cunently three (3) parking spaces at Acorn Creek Park. Loren Abrahamson (1868 Revoir Street) added that his idea of a neighborhood park is defined as a park for neighborhood use - consisting of some adult fixtures and play equipment for children. Dan Nelson (1828 Revoir Street) questioned if there would be another park north of Acorn Creek Park, and the amenities that witl offer. Michael Navin mentioned the City is to keep in mind that with the new developments coming into town, the police department wishes to have access to the parks. Jeff Gibbons (7203 Clear Ridge) questioned if the City will have leverage to get access to the parks in the future. Michael Navin stated that this is the perfect opportunity for citizen involvement in the future. Adding that new developments have to go before City Council. The City Council takes into consideration what is best for the City, i. e.: land for parks or money. At this time, it is premature to assume what the City will get - land or money - when the next ', development comes to town. Da1e Larson felt, in looking through the information submitted by the Neighborhood Network Committee, that what the neighborhood wants would also be suitable for adults. Michael Navin questioned the survey taken by the Neighborhood Network Committee. Specifically, asking which of the items on the survey are mandatory? Is a basketball court something the residents really want to see? Adding, bouncing ba11s are very loud, and is this something that fits into what the City wants? Lori Dom (1836 Revoir Street) added that basketball courts may bring more adults into the park area. Tom Fairbrother (1844 Revoir Street) sta.ted the most difficutt thing far the Neighborhood Network Committee is not knowing how much money the City has to work with as far as developin� parks. 3 _ . _ _ _. Da1e Larson questioned if the basketball court would be a full court or half court. Also, Mr. Larson questioned the gazebo versus a pavilion or shelter. Lori Dorn (1836 Revoir Street) stated the Neighborhood Network Committee was trying to follow through with the Design Team flow. Don Bahneman was in agreement that Acorn Creek Park should be an adult park - not just geared for athletics and young children. Aimee Fairbrother (1844 Revoir Street) mentioned the park has three (3) acres of land, and that there should be plenty of room to do everything as long as the Park and Recreation Committee take the Neighborhood Network Committee seriously. James Bownik stated that the ne� step would be to put an application together and submit it for a DNR grant. James thanked Aimee Fairbrother for her efforts. Adding that the City would have a great chance for both of the grants. The deadline is March 31, 1999. If the City doesn't receive the grants, it can resubmit them again ne� year. Michael Navin questioned the amount of the grants again. James Bownik reiterated that they are $50,000.00 each with the City ma.tching $50,000.00 for each park. Michael added that the City would need a list of items for the park showing the total cost. Also, Michael questioned if someone from the Neighborhood Network Committee would be willing to meet with the Park and Recreation Committee. Terry Sweeney (council liaison) concured with Mr. Navin regarding the attandance of a Neighborhood Nework liaison meeting with the Park and Recreation Committee. Tom Fairbrother (1844 Revoir Street) questioned who designs the equipment for the parks. Mr. Fairbrother also questioned whether the City would have one person or several design .the parks? Micha.el Navin explained that the Park and Recreation Committee designs the park layout . and the playground equipment is brought in by vendors. Dale Larson mentioned that the structures were already designed and brought in, while residents dug the holes and put them in. Aimee Fairbrother (1844 Revoir Street) stated that she has been gathering information from several vendors. Ms. Fairbrother has the name of the vendor used by the City of Lino Lakes. She stated that they are a fantastic company and they do it all. Da1e Larson suggested letting the Neighborhood Network Committee design the Acorn Creek Park and submit it to the Park and Recreation Committee. Michael Navin questioned who was notified, and if anybody can be on the Neighborhood Network Committee? 4 ` Aimee Fairbrother (1844 Revoir_Street) stated that all residents within 350 feet were included in the survey and that is how the residents were notified - by word of mouth. 7eff Gibbons (7203 Clear Ridge) felt it was very helpful having the Neighborhood Network Committee. He cautioned the City though - he felt if the City let local residents design the pazk, that the residents should haue experienced guidelines, taking into consideration the ultimate development, future trails and the comprehensive plan. Michael Navin questioned if the comprehensive plan was taken into consideration. Aimee Fairbrother replied: "Yes, the comprehensive plan was looked at." Dale Lazson requested that the Neighborhood Network Committee submit a"thumb sketch" of their vision of Acorn Creek. Terry Sweeney agreed with Mr. Larson, adding that the Neighborhood Network I � Committee should submit a concept plan to Ms. Lien who will then forward it on to the appropriate people of the Park and Recreation Committee and Administrator, Jim March. 1Vlichael Navin moiioned to close the Public Hearing noting that the Neighborhood 'I Network Committee submit a concept plan. Park and Recreation will need to be advised of its direction - without knowing budget amounts. Terry Sweeney felt that if the grant was. for $SO,OOQ.00 and the City ma.tches $SO,OOO.OQ then the Neighborhood Network Committee and Park and Recreation Committee should use $100,000.00 as a benchmark. Jeff Gibbons (7203 Clear Ridge) commented that there may be additional grants secured � at a later date. Adding, once you come up with a plan, you can strategize getting funds from other sources. I , James Bownik agreed, come up with a plan, submit it, and wait to see what the DNR is willing to fund. Lori Dorn (1836 Revoir Street) questioned what happened to the money the aeveloper gave for Acom Creek. Michael Navin explained the developer for Acorn Creek gave land, not cash for this development. Adding, we still have $25,000.00 in park dedication fees from the Buechler Development in the Park and Recrea.tion account. M'ichael Navin suggested Park and Recreation give the Neighborhood Network Committee a deadline of two (2) weeks - March 17, 1999, to submit their concept.plan for Acorn Creek Park. N1r. Navin added the City will need to have a professionallook at the 5 plan. Also, noting that what the City puts in for a grant will not dictate what goes into the park. Pa.rk and Recreation will submit the plans to the City Engineer. Jeff Gibbons (7203 Clea.r Ridge) recommended- writing a narrative explaining why the Neighborhood Network Committee put things where they did and the logic behind the concept. Da1e Larson added that Mr. March will be explaining why the City wants things where it does. A narrative will help him "flower it up". Michael Navin motioned to close the Public Hearing for Acorn Creek Park, fiuther questioning if anyone had anyChing to say about LaMotte Parlc. Mr. Navin explained LaMotte Pazk is approximately 15 acres. The City is pursuing a Trail Linkage Crrant offered by the DNR in the amount of $31,800. Jeff Gibbons (?203 Clear Ridge) commented that he is very interested in the Trail Linkage Cnant. Adding, Wayne LeBlanc who is very involved in the sub-committees of the Design Team wants to submit a letter to the DNR supporting the grant. Michael Navin ended the Public Hearing on a positive note .... "Our mission is to be the good stewards of the land." CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES A.

Jeff Gibbons (7203 Clear Ridge) questioned plans that had been submitted.years ago by Carol Pelton, and if there was resistance from the Park and Recreation Committee to use those ptans. Were any of her plans adapted? Mr. Gibbons also suggested that the City check with the designer responsible for Rice Creek and the Anoka County Park System to see if the City coutd get a laok at any drawings available. Michael Navin explained that none of Carol Pelton's plans had been adopted; however, the City has used a lot of her ideas. NEW BUSINESS Michael Navin mentioned_ receipt of a letter from the Chain of Lakes Little League requesting a contract be signed by the City. Michael explained that the Chain of Lakes Little League wants to help develop LaMotte. Park, but would like some type of guarantee that they will be able to use the park in return. Adding, we have already approved the � Chain of Lakes Little League's use of the field, we a.re just finalizing it on paper. Terry Sweeney commented that the Chain of Lakes Little League wants a place they can I ' count on using. Lino Lakes doesn't have much for the Little League. The Little League is � willing to purchase and donate equipment for the City to use at the park - including lights. The Little League is looking for field use primarily during the week.

Goetz is advising ium on whicli trees would be best for transplanting. Ms. Fairbrother wanted to confirm the intent of Mr. Larson's comments regarding Acorn Creek Park ancT keeping the "adult" �heme in mind. 1V�s. Fairbrother felt that since the G�ty doesn't know yet if we have received the grant from the DNR or not, that the Paxk and Recreation Committee could let it rest until then. . Mr. Larson e�ressed that the pazk couldJshould be able to accommodate both adults and clii2dren. Also, Mr. Larson commented �he 1Veighborhood Networlc �ommittee should re-title the name "gazebo" to "shelter". Mr. Larson explained that his perception of . a sTielter all along has been a basic steerµs�ielter" with tables and B�Q's in �t, nothiug fancy. Adding, Lino Lakes has severa) steel shelters that have lasted for 20 y�ars without being damaged or tost in storn�s. Mr. DeVine (1837 Revoir St.) menrioned that the "adult" theme seems to vary a lot from whax Mari l�fielson is suggesting. Ms. Fairl�rother explained�th�t�e grant doesn'� includ� a shelter, at least is not in-the plans of the Neighborhood Network Committee. 5he questioned if there were plans bf a ' shelter at I;aMotte Park? N1r. March explained that the Lions are planning to put a shetter at LaMotte Park someday, but currently there is nothing in the works. They don't have the funds available. Mr. March added the City should hear back from the DivR sometime at the b�ginning of 7uly. � ' Ms: Fairbrother stressed tl�at the l�eighliorhooc� Network Committee just wants to keep� in touch with the Park and Recreation Committee and make sure we are all on the same pa�e.

They have been talking about an adult swing that overlooks the pond z -- _ _ _ _ . � June 2; 1999 P�rk and Recre�tion Meeting , which shouldn't cost a lot of money. They felt this swing and possibly a shelter could go in at the whole other end t�f the park._ Mr. Navin expressed it is premature to talk anymore about shelters or anything going into the pazk until we know if �e City gets t�ie grant., Mr. Navin wanted to address the issue of children fishing around the pond at Acorn Creek. I�aturaliy, it is a c�rawing point �r chtYctren to come t� fish. Legally the pond.is not connected to Acorn Creek Park, so the kids shouldn't be �ble to fish there. Adding if we coutr� figure out some way to appease tlye prop�rty owners, this couYct be the key to the success of Acorn Creek Park. The City needs to use a pro-active approach. l�tr.

If they ' � are interested, we can pursue from there. If tlt�y are nor imerested, it witl have to be dropped. Mr. March didn't feel the Council would be willing to pursue condemnation: It was determined that Lisa and I.aren Abrahamson are the property owners of 1a� 9. Mr. Navin requested permission to write a letter to the Abrahamsons on behalf of the City. It was determined that it would l�� bett�r to dtop the Yetter o�in person: A�so, Mr.1<Tavin ! could answer any questions the Abrahamsons may have.

Shelter is more for a"family theme" park with BBQ, picnic tables, and "nothing fancy". The "famity theme" park would work well in connection with the "children theme" park of Acorn Creek. While we are an the subject, I ha�•e heard comments made in favor of the Acorn Creek Park being a"family theme" park, such as Mr. La��son is suggesting. I think, the community needs that kind of park too. A place far the whole family to have fun, cookouts, play grounds, etc. I understand from some members of the Nei�hborhood Network Comrnittee (who were not present at the June 2, Park & Recreation Meeting} would like to meet � with Park & Recreation, as a whole group to talk over the ideas azound the "family I theme". I Mr. DeVine (1 S37 Revoir Street) is correct in saying "the adult theme seems ! to vary a lot from what Maxi Nelson is suggesting". � I am requesting a quiet, (yes, fancy) with flowers and gazebo, peaceful park. Just a smai] meditative park, that's beautiful and peaceful, with a soothing stream or lake. It's the atmosphere that is essential. Like I've said, we need a place for adults to go to search out their personal direction. Active young parents who need a quiet pl�ce to be alone and taik with each other, to plan the direction of the:r family. Older parents dealing with teen-agers, making life changing decisior�s. ,4nd empty nesters to evaluate their life and what comes next. A place for two friends to sit and talk. Just a small beautiful place to be in.

Theresa Brenner 7246 Clear Ridge Centerville, Minnesota 55038 ` (651) 653-9172 June 14, 1999 Dear Mayor Wilharber and Council members, With regret, I have decided to resign fxom the Centerville City Council for personal reasons. I have enjoyed serving Centerville for over six years. However, since I resumed my career in Mazch, my life has drastically changed. . � I have tried to juggle everything---full-time job, City Council duties, and family responsibilities---but I find it difficult to maintain a healthy and well- balanced life. For now, I really need a break from City Council business. , My family strongly supports my decision. Although I'm leaving the Council, I will continue to be involved with the I ' I Design Team ideas and subcommittees. Maybe I'll be ready to run for Council again after my daughter graduates from high school. O , I I will miss being a part of the decision-making process. I especially wanted to see the completion of the water interconnect and a new public works �, building before I left. Yet, I am confident these will be accomplished. � i Centerville is foriunate to have excellent and dedicated leaders on the City I � Council and all the committees. I also appreciate our fantastic city staff who work so hard for us. It makes it easier to leave knowing the city is well managed and in such good shape. It has been an honor and pleasure working with all of you. You have my deepest adnviration and respect. Sincerely, �T��-e�c',c' � ��.-�,��►„^-e-� Theresa Brenner cc: Jim March and staff EDC,P&Z,P&R .
