Home My WebLink About9A - Heritage Farmstead Plan 16200 Eagle Creek Avenue S.E. Prior Lake, MN 55372-1714 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT MEETING DATE: AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: September 5, 2006 M :~ank Boyles, City Manag~~ CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING A MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR HERITAGE FARMSTEAD AGENDA ITEM: DISCUSSION: Introduction The purpose of this agenda item is to request Council approval of a master development plan for Heritage Farmstead. Historv The City Council established the Heritage Committee for the purpose of encouraging an appreciation of our community's history and small town values in accordance with the 2030 Vision and Strategic Plan. Councilmembers Dornbush and Millar serve on this committee. Prior to the establishment of the committee, the Council had approved a plan to preserve the "ruins" of the Kop farm house on the property. The master plan proposes that additional work be done to the property consistent with the heritage theme. To further underscore the family farm theme, the master plan proposes that historic turn-of-the-century farm equipment be placed outside as a sort of outdoor museum for visitors both young and old. A barn is also proposed to be added to the property to act as a shelter for use and as a stage for an outdoor events lawn. Parking is accommodated in a unique manner by creating an orchard look to avoid a modern parking lot. Some of the natural growth on the property is accentuated through proposed prairie and forest restoration. A community garden is also proposed for residents who may want to grow vegetables but cannot do so on their own property. The farmstead was given year around appeal by the addition of a fire pit, warming house and a skating pond. Paths connect various portions of the property to one another and to Lakefront Park and the downtown. Current Circumstances Bruce Chamberlain of HKGI will review the proposed master plan (attached) in detail and entertain questions the Council may have. He will also summarize the budget estimates for implementation of the plan (attached). ISSUES: The master plan for Heritage Farmstead attempts to consolidate on one property all of the elements one could find on an historic farm property. The elements are also intended to be usable year around so the farmstead is not I, ':.cou t',JC! ~ \jJ, Gf'~ R PTS\2006",f9050iJ www.cityofpriorlake.com PianPI1Bn'~~52~4\q.'1.~0 / Fax 952.447.4245 FINANCIAL IMPACT: ALTERNATIVES: RECOMMENDED MOTION: limited to a seasonal attraction. The master plan also provides for additional meeting space for special events or casual socializing. Both seem to be very important community themes. The estimates for completion of the proposed Heritage Farmstead work are conservative and are estimated if the work is done completely by a contractor, or with the assistance of city crews. The staff believes that in many of the estimate areas the work can be accomplished at a more modest price. The master plan is intended to provide for incremental farmstead development. This will allow us to complete elements of the farmstead most cost effectively as we finish similar work for other city parks. A later item on the Council agenda proposes that the ruins and the barn be the first steps in 2006 and 2007 to get the project underway using donated funds. The City Council should determine if the Heritage Farmstead master plan is consistent with the 2030 Vision and Strategic Plan. If so, the Council should consider adoption of the plan which would clear the way for implementation of the improvements. Since the need for Heritage Farmstead is not related to community growth, it will need to be accomplished with funds other than Capital Park. This means that donations, grants and/or a tax levy would be needed to proceed with the project. The good news is that the project can be done over time as funding becomes available without undermining the objective of Heritage Farmstead. 1. Adopt the Heritage Farmstead master plan as proposed or with amendments. 2. Take no action.
