NELSON LOCATION: SE-11... SECTION 17, T27N, R23W, 3690 BLACKHAWK ROAD EXISTING ZONING: R-1, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE DISTRICT DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: NOVEMBER 25, 1980. DATE OF REPORT: NOVEMBER 20, 1980 REPORTED BY: KURTIS G. ULRICH, PLANNING ASSISTANT APPLICATION SUBMITTED An application for waiver of plat has been submitted to allow for the subdivision of an unplatted parcel for a single family lot. CON.ENTS 1. The applicant has requested to split a 1.5 acre parcel into 2 lots in order to construct another single family home. Presently there is an existing home on the west portion of the property, and the waiver would allow the applicant to construct a second home. 2. Staff recommends that the applicant put together a site plan to see how the overall area could be developed in the best possible fashion. Once a site plan is complete, the applicant should plat the property in accor- dance with Ordinances 10 and 52. 3. The newly created lot would consist of 25,650.square feet. 4. A waiver of plat would prevent the City from obtaining the desired 100-foot right-of-way along Blackhawk Road at this time. 5. Staff recommends that the applicant be required to plat the property in conformance with existing City policy regarding the development of unplatted land. If approved, the application should be subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant should be required to plat the entire property at this time rather than split off a portion of the property. i 2. No variances should be granted for the newly created lot. 3. Drainage and utility easements should be required along all lot lines. 4. Park dedication shall be required for the newly created lot(s).

The committee determined that it would continue the discussion at the December meeting to allow for further thought and additional suggestions by members. Further, after all suggestions had been offered, the committee would prioritize the suggestions and then make a determination which items it would pursue. Review of suggestions: (1) Develop a uniform inventory of existing park land and the various pieces of equipment/amenity on each park. (2) Tour park areas twice yearly; Comment: The committee may want to combine a tour and inventory program by developing a "check-off sheet" to be used when a visit is made. This could help the committee in reviewing future park development needs. In addition the committee may want to visit on going recreational programming, i.e. winter programs, Tots, Summer Play- grounds, Special Events, etc. (3) Meet with the City Council (twice) during the year to discuss park problems/City objectives. Comment: The chairman has contacted the Mayor to determine if the Council has suggestions for the Advisory Committee at this time. (4) To get some of the best park land possible. (5) A "trails program" developed and reviewed. (6) Meet with representative of the D.N.R. and U.S. Fish and Wildlife to learn of their plans and development proposals for Fort Snelling Park and the Minnesota River Valley. (7) Develop C.I.P. for parks and facilities. Comment: The five year C.I.P. has been completed for parks. How- ever, revision and the next 5 year program (1982-1987) of the C.I.P. could be undertaken. Further, the committee may wish to consider the need.for a,park bond as a means to finance these C.I.P. costs while working on a C.I.P. The Parks and Recreation staff has also considered objectives for the committee and submits the following for consideration: (1) Development of a "recreational guide" to help determine what recreational programs the City should look to as trying to provide, i.e. after school programming, archery, adult volleyball, etc. (2) A study committee on facilities. (3) Study committee on "teen programming." MEMO T0: ADVISORY PARK AND RECREATION COMMITTEE December 1980 FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS $ RECREATION RE: PRELIMINARY DRAFT - MATCHING GIFTS Background: At the time the Advisory Committee discussed the South Oaks soccer kick board, (October 1980) the Advisory Committee questioned if it should not develop some type of policy guidelines, when approached to "match" neighborhood requests for parks development/equipment. Staff was asked to review this possibility. Issues to be Considered: Generally, the City will want to be sensitive to the desire of a neighborhood group in planning and developing a park. This is also true of "special interest groups," who may desire some type of special equipment to enhance a program. When a group proposes to pay for a portion of the develop- ment/purchase costs, the City should review both the positive and negative impli- cations. First, it shows genuine interest by the group by its willingness to fund the development. This interest will have a positive impact on how the park/equipment is cared for. The feeling of ownership generally translates into one of care. Two, it allows the City to accomplish park development with less tax dollars. Three, it encourages local groups to take pride in their parks while providing a service to the community. There is some negative implication of "cost matching" for parks development: 1. Matching may lead to "possession" attitude towards the park to the extent that the park or fixture is not a City or neighborhood facility/ fixture but for the exclusive use of the few who may have helped finance the gift. 2. The "gift" may be used as leverage in obtaining future park/City considerations by the use of the argument "after all we paid for this we want - - - - " 3. In some situations a gift may cause future development problems in the park. "You can't take that (piece of equipment) from the park, our neighborhood paid for that 15 years ago." 4. "Lower priority" items may be developed in one park prior to a higher priority item in a distant park. This may lead to the feeling that one neighborhood group is being favored over another. For these reasons, the following ideas for guidelines are proposed for consideration. 1. Each matching request should be reviewed on its merits. The development should be consistent with the established park development plan or C.I.P. 2. Matching money should be provided so as not to take away from committments to other parks or developments. 3. An understanding or policy that the match is seen as being something that may have to be changed, removed, modified, etc., as future park develop- ment occurs or as the equipment ceases to provide the type of use originally intended. 4. The "gift" is consistent with the City wide systems priority for development. 5. A limit on the dollar amount the City would be willing to match for any one group/park area. Action: The Committee may wish to discuss the implications of a matching program and possible guidelines to determine if an adopted review procedure is necessary. MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS & RECREATION COMMITTEE FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION RE: PARK NAMES Recently, the sub-committee on naming of parks met to discuss a format for proceeding with the official naming of parks. Currently there are seven parks which have been officially named by the City. These include Highview, Blackhawk, Patrick Eagan, Bur Oaks, Lexington, Cedar Pond and the most recent,Evergreen. The remainder of the parks to be named were "categorized" into four general categories. The first category are the Community Parks which is Northview Athletic, Rahn, Coachman, Thomas Lake, Well Site and the Blue Cross/ Blue Shield Park yet to be acquired. Category two consists of parks identified as lineal park ways such as the Highline Trail, the park dedication from the Windcrest Addition, the gas line trail from Johnny Cake Ridge Road through the Orin Thompson develop- ment, and the Oak Pond Park dedication. Category three consist of the newly acquired park areas where residential development has not occurred as of yet to any definitive degree. These consists of Capricorn, Wedgewood, Ches Mar, Deboer, Windtree, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, and the area currently identified as Carriage Hills by the comp plan. The remaing park areas have been identified as neighborhood parks in which community involvement and suggesting of park names would be included as part of the naming process. These parks and the strategy for gaining neighborhood input is as follows: In the case of Ridge Cliffe Park and River Hills 9 Park, the Director of Parks and Recreation will be meeting with residents of these neighborhoods within the next few weeks at which time he will solicit their input into the naming process. Contact has been made with the residents of the South Oaks neighborhood requesting that they to provide some input into the naming of their park currently identified as South Oaks. In the instance of Woodhaven Park, Carnelian Park, Country Home Heights Park, leaflets or flyers will be distributed by the program leaders in the "Summer in the Park" program to residents of the neighborhood soliciting their letters or calls to the department for name suggestions. With Pilot Knob, Donnywood, Carlson Lake, and Lakeside Park areas, efforts will be made to contact representatives of organized neighborhood groups or known neighborhood leaders who will then be requested to make contact with neighboring residents for their input and suggestions as to feasible park names. At the advisory meeting on May 7th, members of the parks naming sub-committee will briefly review the progress made and additional steps to be followed in the naming of the parks. December 1980 MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARK COMMITTEE FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION RE: INFORMATIONAL ITEMS For your information, I've attached the job responsibility write-up for the warming house attendant position. The write-up is part of the "packet" of materials given to each attendant prior to the start of the season. An orientation session is tentatively scheduled for the 17th of December for all attendants, in which the write-up, first aid, attendance reporting pro- cedures, etc. are reviewed. The selection of attendants is nearly completed with approximately 30 applicants from which eleven are to be chosen. Another item, which is attached, is a "Division of Responsibilities" developed for the operation of the men's softball program for 1981. As you are aware, department staff has been working with the existing men's softball league, by which the department would be the responsible agency for the operation of the softball leagues. This write-up as well as rules and procedures have been developed to guide the league. There are currently 36 teams in the association. The Evergreen Park sign has recently been constructed and is now installed. As you will recall, Randy Smith agreed to constructing the proto type sign as part of his Eagle Scout requirements. Randy did make some minor changes from the approved design plans. But, the finished sign does reflect the style of sign being proposed. Members may wish to go by Evergreen Park to see the sign for review and comment. Staff is of the opinion that the height of the sign is too high. And, if lowered from a foot to a foot and half, it would improve upon its appearance. The third attachment is the copy of the winter programs being offered through the department. A completed flier will be distributed to residents through the local schools. A news release will be prepared for local news sources. Kurt Ulrich, Planning Assistant, who has been working on the City's bikeways proposal, has not as yet completed the written material for the proposal. Kurt will return in mid-December to complete the work on the plan. When the proposal has been completed a Special Advisory Committee meeting may have to be called to review the plan. A C.E.T.A., "Forestry Aid" has been recently added to the staff. This individual will be assisting in the removal of diseased trees in the parks throughout the coming months. Currently, he is assigned to Woodhaven Park to do tree trimming, clearing and brushing out. During the summer months he will work in tree maintenance and tree nursery care. i POLICIES AND JOB DESCRIPTIONS WARMING HOUSE ATTENDANTS 1980-81 • PERSONAL CONDUCT Your personal conduct on the job reflects upon the entire Eagan Park and Recreation Department.
