<br /> <br /> PARK and RECRETION RENEWAL PROGRAM PRELIMINARY PLANS <br />6. <br />Preliminary Plan Review: <br />Jeff Evenson & Michael Schroeder presented preliminary plans for Central Park Victoria West, <br />Central park Victoria Ballfields, Central Park Legion Field, Bruce Russell Park, Howard Johnson <br />Park, Roseville Skating Center, Materion Park and provided updates on Tamarack Park, the B2 <br />Sidewalk and the request for proposals for final design, plans and specifications. <br /> <br />Commissioners inquired into; <br /> <br /> <br />Agreements with Roseville Lutheran Church for the shared properties and amenities. <br /> <br /> <br />The possibility of including landscaping with playground improvements and wondered <br />about the possibility of “themes” when planning play areas. <br /> <br />Staff explained that the Tamarack Park project is on hold until future meetings with the neighbors. <br />In recent years Roseville Rotary had made improvements at Tamarack Park to allow for soccer play <br />in the open space. This has led to the need to look at coinciding issues from expanded park use <br />including additional traffic and added noise. As a result of community input in the park planning <br />process it is apparent that additional neighborhood meetings in this area are needed before renewal <br />program plans are finalized. <br /> <br />B-2 Sidewalk Update: <br />Engineering has completed the survey and identified areas with potential issues. Renewal Program <br />staff will be meeting with the Engineering staff to meld engineering processes with design concepts <br />in hopes of creating a project everyone can be pleased with. Renewal Program staff recognize the <br />varying context of conditions along B-2 and see that a series of solutions may be necessary to <br />reflect the character of the neighborhood. <br /> <br />Natural Resources Update: <br />Evenson talked to the Commission about the Langton lake restoration work and shoreline <br />stabilization. We have also begun work on removing Buckthorn in the area. Thanks to a significant <br />donation by a Roseville Resident volunteers and staff have begun to remove Buckthorn from a <br />selected area in Reservoir Woods and have also begun a treatment process. <br /> <br />Villa Park Update: <br />th <br />Project to start as soon as May 20. First work will include the removal of the shelter building and <br />hockey boards. <br /> <br />Brokke explained next steps; <br /> <br /> <br />The preliminary plans discussed tonight will be going to the Council for their review and <br />approval at the next Council meeting date. <br /> <br /> <br />Staff will be asking for final approval for the final Design s and Specification Consultant <br />May 6. <br /> <br /> PARK BOARD DISCUSSION <br />7. <br />Wall summarized changes to preliminary document on Park Board consideration and shared the <br />updated version of Park Board pros and cons. Wall talked about how he and Brokke had the <br />opportunity to visit with the Board Chair from Maple Grove to talk about how the Park Board <br />operates in their community. A key component to come out of their discussion was how transparent <br />expenditures and operations are within their Board structure. <br /> <br />Commissioners discussed how the current document is not a Commission recommendation but a <br />document that responds to recent requests from the Council. Commissioners felt the information <br /> <br /> <br />
