4. COMMUNITY GARDEN DISCUSSION:
Friedges: The PAC asked staff to research the Community Garden options in the City at the
March 19,2009 PAC meeting and present their research to the City Council at the April 20, 2009
City Council meeting for consideration. The findings from staff are as follows:
Historv
Over the course of the last few years, City Staff has received calls from citizens
inquiring on the possibility of a community garden. In recent years, public
gardens have been established in numerous communities with active
participation from their citizens.
In January of 2006 a plan was created for the Kop Farm property (Heritage
Farm), which included the component of a community garden component (see
attached exhibit).
On March 19, 2009, the Parks Advisory Committee (PAC) held a meeting and
invited the public to discuss the concept of establishing a community garden.
The PAC stated that they supported the concept and asked Staff to begin
researching what would be involved in creating a community garden and where
it would likely be established.
Current Circumstances
Staff has visited numerous sites throughout Prior Lake, but due to limitations of
space, sunlight, access, water availability, etc, there are limited locations that
would be conducive to a community garden. In the end, the Kop Farm site
would serve as the best location for a community garden.
In an attempt to determine just how much public interest would be garnered by
the garden, Jane Keough, a Prior Lake citizen and gardener made contact with
citizens over the course of the last two weeks. In this time, 55 citizens gave
their contact information and indicated an interest in renting a plot within the
community garden. A number of emails were received as well, indicating
people's desire to have a place to garden.
In order to understand all aspects of establishing a community garden, City
Staff has met with other communities and organizations involved with
community gardens to ask questions and to formulate a recommendation
based on their successes and challenges. Some of these resources have
assisted us in answering the following questions:
What would the community garden look like?
Various configurations of garden plots could be utilized, but a standard grid
layout would allow for approximately 200 - 10 foot x 10 foot plots with
woodchip trails delineating the outside borders of the individual plots. Initially,
it is anticipated that less than half of the 200 possible plots would be prepared
for planting and rental (depending on demand).
How would people rent a plot in the garden?
The plots would be rented through the Park and Recreation Department,
similar to how citizens currently rent boat slips. All plots would be first come-
first serve for Prior Lake citizens. After a specific date has passed (yet to be
determined), the remaining plots could be rented to non-Prior Lake residents at
a slightly higher nonresident rate. All gardeners would be required to attend an
annual spring meeting where their plots would be assigned and basic policies
regarding use of the garden would be reviewed.
How would the community garden be funded?
There would be two areas of funding necessary for the garden:
1) Upfront initial site-prep costs:
. Gravel for entrance and parking
. Water line & Spigot:
. Tree removal (labor)
. Garden tilling (labor)
. Chip trail to garden/walkways
. Signs
. Garbage and recycling bin
. Soil test
. Wooden picnic table
Total
$2,750
$850
$800
$400
$200
$350
$100
$50
$350
$5,850
Staff has met with the Prior Lake Rotary who has been very supportive of the
project and indicated they would be willing to financially assist with covering a
portion of the necessary initial site-prep costs. Staff has also met with the Prior
lake Optimists and Lions Club, whose representatives have expressed support,
but still need to discuss the concept with their members and board. It is
anticipated that Staff will have a confirmation of any assistance these
organizations can provide no later than May 5th. In the meantime, Staff will
continue to look for additional community partners to cover these initial costs.
If the initial costs cannot be fully funded by a combination of community
partners, staff will not proceed with the community garden project for 2009 and
will instead look for additional funding sources for a 2010 season opening.
2) Ongoing annual costs
. Yard light and electric pump - $120
. Parking lot maintenance - $1 00
. Pump replacement - $140
. Garbage pick-up cost - $300
. Portable toilet - $360
Total $1,020
These ongoing costs would be covered through a rental fee for each 10 x 10
garden plot. The specific cost of the rental fee has yet to be determined, but
based on initial estimates; it would likely be approximately $35 and could be
adjusted accordingly after the first season.
In addition to the annual rental fee, gardeners would likely be required to pay a
minimal deposit, which would be refunded to them at the end of the season
when their plot sign is returned and their plot cleared for the season.
If the demand exists, the following elements could be added to the garden as
financially feasible:
. Raised bed (to accommodate handicap accessibility) - $ 350
. Lumber for a community compost bin - $ 350
How would the community garden be governed?
The City would provide basic rules for the gardeners to follow (draft rules
attached). In addition, the Heritage Farm Garden members would need to
establish a governing body that would be responsible for coordinating and
maintaining the overall garden and assuring overall long term viability of the
garden. The governing body and their scope will need to be approved by the
City Council after considering the recommendations of the PAC.
If the initial start up costs are covered by an outside sponsor/organization by
May 4th, and all ongoing annual costs are covered through a fee to individual
garden plot renters, there would be no financial impacts to the City budget.
However should no outside sponsor step forward to fund the initial start-up
costs, the Staff would recommend that this program be initiated in 2010,
assuming sponsors could be committed by that time.
For 2009 staff has already identified nearly $500,000 in reductions and freezes
to meet anticipated revenue shortfalls. This amount includes more than
$20,000 from the Parks operating budget which will result in the delays to
repairs of existing park facilities scheduled for 2009. At this time there is no
City funding available for the startup costs unless an existing program is
reduced or eliminated.
K. Haugen: The Rotary has approved spending $2,000 toward this project.
Friedges: The City is waiting to hear from the Prior Lake Optimist Club and the Prior Lake
Lions Club as to whether they can supply any funding. Staffwill proceed with the City Council
recommendations that will be received at the April 20, 2009 City Council meeting.
5. PROJECTSIUPDA TES BY AI FRIEDGES
Friedges: The following parks maintenance projects were discussed:
. Due to the deep frost we had this year there has been a lot of heaving with fence posts at
the parks. The Ponds field # 3 fence has been completely replaced this spring due to the
heaving problems.
. Since the City adult softball leagues changed over to USSSA from ASA the base
distances needed to be changed from 65' to 70' on the fields where league play was
occurring. We decided to clean up radiuses and re-crown these field at the same time
these base distances were changed
. We started to turn on irrigation systems throughout the City. This can take about 2 weeks
to complete because of the number of lines we have as well as the repairs and
maintenance that has to be completed on the entire system.
. As part of the Lakefront Restoration Project we conducted a controlled bum at Lakefront
Park on 4/15/09 with the SMSC. This was done to kill the invasive species of plants in
the area. Weare hoping to have another controlled bum this fall.
. Turf management will be starting shortly. This includes fertilizing, herbicide application,
and re-seeding.
. We laid out and striped 21 soccer fields for the Prior Lake Soccer Association.
. We ordered 125 bare root trees to replace diseased or dying trees in the City.
. The City clean up day is scheduled for 4/18/09 from 8am - noon at Twin Oaks Middle
School.
. We are preparing for the DARE bikeathon which will occur on Saturday, May 2nd
. The compost site that the City operates with the SMSC will open on 5/23/09 for the
season. The compost site will be open lOam - 3pm the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each
month until October.
Larson: What is the status of the Emerald Ash Borer?
Friedges: It has been reported from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture that the Borer has
been discovered in Victory, WI. This insect is getting closer to us each year. It is difficult to
detect this insect because of the length of time it takes for a tree to show the damage signs. The
City of Prior Lake does not plant ash trees, and hasn't done so in over 2 years. We recommend
that homeowners plant a variety of trees in their yard so no one disease or insect could kill all of
their trees.
In late fall the Parks Maintenance Department will be presenting their recommendations to the
City Council on what the City should do when the Emerald Ash Borer reaches Prior Lake. As
part of this presentation the Parks Maintenance staff will be inventorying all of the Ash trees that
are in Prior Lake.
No formal action required.
7. RECREATION UPDATES BY ANGIE BARSTAD
Barstad: We had a very successful Egg Hunt on 4/4/09. We had 3,000 - 4,000 attendees this
year. A good time was had by all. There were a few egg "hording" issues but we will put a limit
on the number of eggs each child can have next year to avoid this.
The skate park opens for the season on Saturday May 2nd. It will be open weekends only until
Friday, June lih. It will be open 7 days a week from noon - 8pm beginning June lih.
The beaches will open for the season on Saturday, June 13th. We will not have lifeguards but we
will have concessions and parking attendants at Sand Point and concessions at Watzls. The
Watzls concession hours will be noon - 3pm Monday - Friday and noon -7pm Saturday and
Sunday.
Recreation now has a new blog for people to put program/trip ideas or comments on. It is on the
www.cityofnriorlake.com web site under the Recreation Department.
No formal action required.

POLICY
FOR THE NAMING AND RENAMING OF CITY STREETS,
PARKS, FACILITIES, STREETS WITHIN PARKS, AND PUBLIC PLACES
INTRODUCTION
The City desires that the selection of a proper name for City streets, parks, facilities, streets within a
park or public place be done through a thoughtful process by which all submissions will receive careful
consideration. For this reason, the procedures and guidelines contained herein have been adopted.
RESPONSIBILITY
The renaming of City streets, a park, facility, street within a park, or public place is the responsibility of
the City Council. The City Council will normally act on a recommendation that has been considered by
appropriate City staff and Advisory Committee who may at their option appoint other members to
temporarily serve to assist with a specific naming.
RENAMING OF STREETS WITHIN THE CITY
The naming of streets within the City of Prior Lake is initially completed as part of the development
process. Consideration of applications for renaming City streets shall be processed by City staff and the
Planning Commission with the input of public safety officials and the public input as necessary. The
Planning Commission shall submit its recommendations on renaming applications to the City Council
for final determination. This policy does not pertain to the extension of existing streets or those
proposed to be connected later. Streets in the latter category shall take on the name of the current
street.
EXISTING PARKS, FACILITIES, STREETS WITHIN PARKS AND PUBLIC PLACES
Any park, facility, street within a park, or public place named prior to the approval of this policy shall
retain the name previously given.
RENAMING PARKS, FACILITIES, STREETS WITHIN PARKS AND PUBLIC PLACES
Prior to the completion of a park development or comprehensive redevelopment, a working name may
be used to label a park, street within a park, or public space for identification and reference purposes.
Future facilities shall continue to be named in accordance with this procedure. Once a park, facility,
street within a park, or public place is named in accordance with this procedure, it will retain that name,
unless an application is submitted, considered by the Parks Advisory Committee, and recommended for
renaming to the City Council.
If a facility is renamed by the City Council, any such name shall remain in effect for a minimum of five
years. The City staff and Parks Advisory Committee shall be responsible for considering any application
for a name change consistent with this policy, and making a recommendation to the City Council.
PROCEDURE
The following procedure will be followed for the renaming of City streets, naming parks, streets within
parks and public places:
(1) The City staff, City Council, Advisory Body or City resident may make an application for the
renaming of a street, park, facility, street(s) within a park, or public place.
(2) City staff collects a list of potential names by soliciting public input from neighborhood groups
and residents in the area, the general public, and City staff. This list will be formulated based
M:ICity PolicieslPark and Street Naming Policy,doc 1
on the criteria contained herein. In the event that the renaming is in response to a petition
where a name has been proposed, City staff shall determine it if is appropriate to solicit
additional names, or to consider only the proposed name submitted.
(3) The Advisory Committee established in accordance with this policy will review the list of
potential names and discuss each name and its relative merits. Potential names may be
added or eliminated from the list at this time. A recommendation may be made at this or any
subsequent meeting of the Advisory Committee.
(4) The recommended name together with the rationale therefore, will be provided in a report for
placement on the next City Council meeting agenda. If the City Council does not approve the
recommended name, it may refer the question back to the City staff or Advisory Committee
with direction.

. Agenda Title: Conducting Public Hearing to Consider Extension of Hours for Ryan Park
Prepared By: Kelly Meyer, Asst. City Manager
o Presentation, No Action Required
o Requires Discussion and Direction to Staff
o Final Review I Prepare Recommendation to City Council
History: Through the purchase and development of Thomas Ryan Memorial Park, the City
conducted nine public and neighborhood meetings to solicit input from surrounding property
owners who would be most impacted by the development of the park. In August 1999, the
City Council adopted an ordinance that took into account the concerns of the neighborhood
and balanced those concerns with the needs of park users. The ordinance addressed two
primary issues:
o Park Hours - The adopted park hours for Ryan Park are 8am to 10pm. The
rationale for having an earlier close than The Ponds or Memorial Park, was
that those parks were adult facilities. This park is for youth. The later open
time and earlier close time were to limit the impact on the surrounding
neighborhood.
o Alcohol- No alcohol is permitted since this is a youth facility.
Since that time, the park has been developed for soccer and baseball fields, and PLAY and
the soccer association have been using the facility for youth baseball, soccer and fall football
programs.
In 2006, the City was asked by PLAY to consider installing lights for four baseball fields at the
park in order to extend the time the park was useable for games and proposed a change in
the park close time to 11pm. The PAC conducted a public hearing in November 2006 to
solicit feedback from the public. The primary concerns raised at the public hearing were (1)
light spillage onto adjacent properties, and (2) hours of operation of the park. As the PAC is
aware, the field lighting, parking lot lighting, shelter and other field improvements were
completed at Thomas Ryan Memorial Park in 2007 largely due to a donation by the SMSC of
$450,000, and a $300,000 commitment from PLAY. The park hours of 8am to 10pm did not
change.
Current Circumstances:
May 21, 2009
1. Puroose: PLAY is requesting that the park hours be extended to 11 pm in order to
accommodate those instances where there are game delays. Currently PLAY is
concluding scheduled games by approximately 10:15pm. The City Council has
asked the PAC to conduct a public hearing to solicit feedback on the proposed
change.
2. Timeline: Staff is proposing for discussion the following timeline -
Action Item
City Council directs Parks Advisory
Committee to conduct public hearing.
PAC reviews process, timeline and sets
public hearing date.
May 22 - week of 6/8 Post notice of public hearing. Including letters
to property owners in area and PLA Y, City
Enews, Prior Lake American, web site, and
PLTV-15.
PAC conducts public hearing
PAC to discuss and finalize recommendation
to the City Council.
City Council
amendment.
Publication Date (effective date) if ordinance
is amended.
The proposed timeline accelerates the PAC's regular meeting date by one week. In
order to have any impact for PLAY during this baseball season, the PAC would need
to make a recommendation before the Council's June 15th meeting. The PAC should
discuss the proposed process and timeline, make any changes, and then provide
staff with direction.

**It remains unclear at this time what land and easement acquisition costs will be for
assembling the fully envisioned Pike Lake Park. However, much of the easement
MPP-Passive/Natural Areas
portion of the acquisition will take place as a way of meeting future PUD criteria or park
dedication requirements as land along Pike Lake is developed.
** Staff intents to utilize the facility as an educational center to showcase green
materials and demonstrate how citizens can incorporate them into existing structures.
As part of showcasing these materials, staff would work with companies to have these
materials donated or purchased at a reduced rate. Proper acknowledgement of the
material and the donation would be provided within the facility.
Other Possible Site ImDrovements:
Geothermal installation (adequate space will exist when the septic drain field is
removed). Approximately $120,000 cost.
