_ _ __
_ _ --____ __ _--_ _____
$5Q,000.00, there would be appro�mately $100,000.00 for each park. The money could
be used for City park improvements such as: playground equipment, picnic shelters,
concession stand, soccer fields, benches, trash receptacles, lights, BBQ stands etc., at both
parks.
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 a.re in the form of graphs and charts indicating what the
neighboring residents would like to see in the pa.rk, 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 Pa.rk being geared more towazds adults. Ms. Fairbrather 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 an further to explain the neighborhood {63%) wanted the park to be named
Aeorn Creek Park.
Ieff Gibbons (7203 Clear Ridge) questioned_the open space - he fett Acorn Creek P�,rk is a
very la.rge park.
k i urh is
Loren Abrahamson 1 Sb8 Revoir uestioned whax the _avera e size ar s and at
� )� g p
normal in a park the size of Acorn Creek?
Intern 7ames Bownik suggested that 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 Fairbrather (1844 Revoir Street) questioned parking, and if it would be required to
have designated parking.
James Bownik felt it would be required to have a-minimum of hand'scap parking / off
street pazking versus no parking.
Dale Larson stated the Park and Recrea.tion Gommittee is trying to gear the City parks to
a11 residents of Centerville. Mr. Larson listed several parks and their amenities, adding it
would be nice ta have a park for adults and famil� reunions, etc. Not tha.t the adults using
, the parks wi11 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 othez "proposed" park by the lake could
be designed more for adults - it would be a perfect spot for adults and reunions, etc..
� Jill Lien 1810 Ha eld Road uestioned wh the Acorn Creek Park cannot be desi ed
� Yfi ) 9 Y �
f r h I hil r n. Addin if adult use th ark for reunions then their
o bot adu ts and c d e g, s e p ,
grandchildren will be using the piayground equipment. This park is large 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 are 20
acres north of Acorn Creek that aze 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 paxking would be. Adding, there is a proposed trail
and perhaps paxking could be at a different location. She questioned if grant funds could
be used to secure a parking lot.
Da1e Larson thought parking was planned all along ax the Acorn Creek Park. There are
currently three (3) parking spaces at Acorn Creek Pa.rk.
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 will offer.
Michael Navin mentioned the.City is to keep in mind that with the new developments
corning 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 a.ccess to
the parks in the future.
Michael Navin stated thax ihis 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.
Dale Larson felt, in looking through the information submitted hy 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 it_ems.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 Dorn (183b Revoir Street) added tha.t basketball courts may bring more adults into
the park area.
Tom Fairbrother (1844 Revoir Street) stated the most difficult thing for the Neighborhood
Network Committee is not knowing how much money the City has to work with as far as
developing pa.rks.
3
__ _
Da1e La.rson questioned if the basketball court would be a full court or ha�f court. Also,
Mr. Larsan 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 Ac�rn.Creek Park should be an adult park - not just
geared for athletics and yaung children.
Aimee Fairbrother (1844 Revoir Street) mentioned the park has three (3) acres af Iand,
and that there should be plenty of room to do everything as long as the Park and
Recreation Committee take the Neighborhood Network Cammittee seriously.
James Bownik stated that the next step would be to put an application together and submit
it for a DNR gz James thanked Aimee FairbrQther for her efforts. Adding that the
City would have a great chance for both of the grants. The deadline is March 3 l, 1999.
If the City doesn't receive the grants, it can resubmit them again next year.
Michael Navin questioned the amount of the grants again. James Bownik reiterated �hat
they are_$50,000.00 each with the City rnaxching $SO,Q00.00 for ea.ch park. Michael
added that the City would need a list of items for the pa.rk showing the total cost. Also,
Michael questianed if someone from the.NeighbQrhood Network Committee would be
willing to meet with the Park and Recreation Committee.
Terry Sweeney (council liaison) coneured. with Mr. Navin regarding the. attandance of a
Neighborhood Nework liaison meeting with the Park and Recreation Committee.
Tom Fa.irbrother (1844 Revoir Street) questioned who designs the equipment for the ,
parks. Mr. Fairbrother also ques�ioned whether the City wouId have one person or several '
design_the parks? '
MichaeL 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.tha.t she has been gathering information
from several vendors. Ms. Fairbrother has the name of the vendor used by the City of
Lina Lakes. She stated that they are a fantastic campany and they do it all.
Dale 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) statecl that all residents within 350 feet were
included in the survey and tha.t is how the residents were notified - by word of mauth.
JeffGibbons (7243 Clear Ridge) felt it was-very helpful having the Neighborhood
-
Network Committee. He cautioned the Ci thou he felt if the City let local residents
tY �
, design the park, that the residents should. ha.ve experienced guidelines, taking into
consideration the ultimate development, future trails and the comprehensive plan.
Michael Navin questioned if the comprehensive plan was ta,ken into consideration.
Aimee Fairbrother replied: "Yes, the comprehensive plan was looked at."
Da1e Larsan requested that the Neighborhood Network Committee submit a"thumb
sketch" of their vision of Acorn Creek.
Terry Sweeney agreed with Mr. La.rson,- adding tha.t the Neighborhood Network
Committee should submit a concept plan to Ms. Lien who will then forwa.rd it on to the
appropriate people of the Park and Recreation Committee and Administrator, Jim. March.
Micha.el Navin motioned 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 $50,000.00 and the City matches.$SQ,000.00 i,
then the Neighborhood Network Committee and Pa.rk and Recreation Committee should
use $100,000.04 as a benchmark. '
Jeff Gibbons ('7203 Cleaz Ridge) commented tha.t 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 developer
gave for Acorn 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 Recreation account.
Micha.el 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. Mr. Navin added the City will need to have a professional look at the
5
plan. Also, noting that what the City puts in for_a grant will not dictate what goes into the
� park. Park and Recreation will submit the plans to the City Engineer. �
Jeff Cribbons (7203 Clear Ridge) xecommended. writing a narrative explaining why the
Neighborhood Network Committee put things where they did and the lagic behind the
concept.
Dale Larson added that Mr. March will_be. e�laining why the City wants things where it
does. A narrative wi11 help him "flower it up".
Michael Navin motioned to close the Public Hearing for Acorn Creek Park,_further
questioning if anyone had anything to say about LaMotte Park. Mr. Navin explained
LaMotte Park is approximately 15 aeres. The City is pursuing a Trail Linkage_ Grant
offered by the DNR in the amount of $31,800.
Jeff Cribbons {?203 C2ear Ridge) commented that_he is very interested in the Tra.il Linkage
Grant. 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."

requesting a contract be signed by the City. Michael e�lained 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 alrea.dy approved the
Chain of Lakes Little League's use of the field, _�ve_ are just finalizing it on paper.
Terry Sweeney commented that the Cha.in of La.kes Little League wants a place they can
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.

In addition to these priorities, the Parks, Trails, and Lakes group has developed a set of
plans that they will be submitting to the Park and Recrearion Committee for approval.
Once the Park and Recreation Committee approve the prioritized plans, the goup wouid
like them brought before City Council. This approval would provide direction and
assurance that these plans go forward with the backing of the City.
Mr. LeBlanc continued by reviewing the prioritized lists. The 1 st goal would be to
connect the Anoka County Park Trail System, to LaMotte Pa.rk. The ne� thing woutd be
to work with the Church to get a traii t�ugln, ar on the edge af the properly currently
owned by St. Genevieve's. The next thing would be to ensure that we have some
connection to the Wargo Nature Center, follawed by a trail connection in Hugo. The
group would also like to see a complete circle tra31 around Centerville Lake. The reason
this item is ranked lower on the priority list, is because its pragress will depend on County
Road 14 improvements. Mr. LeBlanc added that there are also other possibilities that �
could be looked into at a later time.
Mr. LeBlanc then reviewed the groups priorities in reference to the lakes. The groups
first priority wouid be providing lake access anrl a fishing pier at LaMotte Park. Mr.
LeBlanc stated St. Paul Water has some properry right by LaMotte Park on the lake, that
they may want to sell. This opportunitywould give the City the property needed to build
a fishing pier and an overlook spot of the downtown area. The third priority is to build a
connection between the Ia.kes with a bridge that would a11ow small boat traffic to go
between the lakes.
In regards to parks, the Parks; Traits and Lakes group would like to ensure that we get the
equipment and shelters that residents want. Through the submittals of grants, the goup
fe�ls that the city parks can be praperly c�evelop�d �and redeveloped. A brief riiscussion ,
was held on the Acorn Creek grant and the efforts that went into the grant application.

Update by Monica Travis
Ms. Travis stated that City Clerk Ry-Che1 Gausta� �nd �herself ha.ve met a couple of tin�es,
and when they last adjourned Ms: Travis agreed to gather information about a large
community center cutrently being dev�toped in Ms. Travis' home city of Crossby '
(population approx. 25�0). Ms. Travis reported tha.t the city of Crossby was able to begin
the project because somebody had donated a large parcel of property to Crossby. This
donation along with a grant received for approximentaley $600,000 gave the communtiy
center a financial start. A�ong with the tand dvnatian �nd the grant, people also donated .
money. The center has a running track, a pool, hockey rink, which a11 will be able to be
rented out for revenue. NL�. Travis stated that basically they completed the whole project

the city did decide to do a bond; s�re is very fa�niliar on howro set up th� bon$� Ms.
Travis commented that we should begin working on the bond soon if we were going to go
that dir�ction. Ms. Travis stated that she daesn't knowif a bond is the right thing
actually ask for. Ms. Travis feels that the city should loak at every other financial
opgortunity first without having to ask the citizens to pay for this. If phasing needs to be
considered, tha.t would be a1I right.

little place. The teens l�ave given Ms. Brenner the feeling that teens won't use the

stated that when she talks to adults they say to put it aIl together, that we don't need two
segarate buiidings. Ms. Brennerfeels trta�t she� is in the rniddle, because the teens are
telling her that they want their own place, it is important to them. Ms. Capra added that
Morey And�rson who works for the New Brightvn Recreation Departm�nt; has been in
the business for 35 years and commented that in dealing with youth centers, you will see
children from grades 5-9 using the facility oft� but y�u will not get thase teerrs from a�e
15 and up because they do not wa.nt adult supervision. Lucy Thompson suggested
checking out the internet to find other ciries that have had the same conversatic,n that we
