Staff members present were Bill Mangan, Director of Parks and Recreation, Bret Woodson, Program Specialist, and Nancy McGill, Parks and Recreation Secretary. Bill Mangan introduced Bret Woodson, our new Program Specialist, to the committee members. He indicated that Fiona Keel has resigned as Program Specialist effective May 24, 1993. She has plans to .pursue a teaching profession. Bill then updated the committee on the Summer Program. The brochure will be in the Prior Lake American on Saturday, May 29, 1993 with registration beginning on Tuesday evening, June 8th from 6:30-8:30 p.m. and resuming again on Wednesday, June 9th at 9:00 a.m. at City Hall. The summer program is our largest registration of the year. We are still in need of at least five (5) park leaders. At this time, Bill Mangan introduced a couple of students that were sitting in on the meeting for a school project; Erin Prindle and J ermy Hoy. On June 7, 1993, the Parks Advisory Committee and the City Council members will have a joint bus tour beginning at 5:00 p.m. at City Hall and ending with a picnic at at Memorial Park at 6:30 p.m. The tour will consist of the city community and neighborhood parks used for the summer playground and tot lot programs, dance studio, park maintenance shop, nursery and the greenhouse. This joint meeting/park tour will serve as the June meeting unless members feel an additional meeting needs to be held on June 14. In addition to the above activity, Bill noted a few other dates that the members are invited to and encouraged to attend. The Volunteer Appreciation picnic at Memorial Park on Wednesday, June 2 at 6:00 and the Dedication Ceremony at Sand Point Beach (Shelter #2) recognizing the Prior Lake Lion's Club contribution of $100,000 on Monday, June 21 at 6:30.

'.' Bill Mangan indicated that he attended the March Lions Club membership dinner at which time the Lions expressed an interest in funding the fishing pier at Sand Point Beach. The 88 foot galvanized steel pier cost would be $16,500. The City had $5,000 of unallocated funds originally intended for use towards trails to the playground structure and possibly a small shelter. However, he told the Lion's Club that this money could be used towards the pier. The Lion's proposed to split $11,500 with the City. Bill presented this proposal to the City Council on May 17 and they unanimously accepted it. The pier should be completed by June 15. Bill expanded on the dimensions of the pier and there was some discussion. Sam Emond asked who was responsible for setting restrictions. Bill stated that a permit is obtained from the DNR. Ron Ceminsky asked the cost comparison between galvanized steel and wood. Wood would cost approximately $12,000 plus labor to build it. Galvanized steel will last a lot longer. . Sam Emond raised a concern that parking might be at a premium with the addition of the fishing pier. Bill stated that 26 trailers can be accommodated in the back overflow trailer parking area and that there are about three weekends that the overflow parking area is opened (between parking lot and buildings) to accommodate more parking. He is not anticipating a real problem. At this time, Doug Berens asked to review the minutes from the April 12, 1993 meeting. Ron Ceminsky asked if a letter had ever been sent to Kathe Abrams regarding her resignation. Bill indicated that none had been sent yet but would take care of it. SAM EMOND MADE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE MINUTES FROM THE APRn... 12, 1993 MEETING. RON CEMINSKY SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Bill Mangan introduced and welcomed the new Parks Advisory Committee members, Sam Emond and Robert Rykken to the committee members. Each of the new members told a little about themselves and why they were interested in the Parks Advisory Committee. Bill Mangan continued on with New Business; the review of the Cardinal Heights plat; name changed to Cardinal Ridge. Sienna Corporation is the developer. The parcel is 153 acres of which there will be 55 acres of open space (ponding easement, parkland, woods area and open spaces). Fish Point Road will be a collector street with a bikeway and a walkway on both sides. Driveways will not be located on this collector street. There will be two 18 foot wide streets (one going north; one south), a median - more like a parkway lined with trees & shrubbery. The developer had intended to put in a sidewalk to connect with Fish Point Road; Mangan requested that this be extended to Crossandra Street thereby giving residents a safe way to get to the park without walking in the street. The Planning Commission supported Parks Advisory Committee Minutes - May 24, 1993 - Page 2 -...."....... -.,._""."._,._,_.._--~,......,,~._----_.._.".----~--,....----~.."t'"''''".----"-,~"-"~,.-...,-.-.-,,...".---,~-...,............,,.,''~,-.,---~~.",.",.>.~._.-~-."'--.~,.-.-.~,' ",_.'^...._..,._.."~"~-_.."'-.----_...._--.- r this concept and made it one of the plat requireme~ts. Mangan continued on to explain that there will be 223 lots; a four-phase development with Phase I (approx. 55 homes) to be ready for a home review in August. Homes will range in price from $135,000-$200,000. The Planning Commission accepted this plan with a 3-1 vote. It will now go to the Council for approval on June 7. There was some discussion. Sam Emond was concerned about traffic congestion at the intersection of County Road 44 and Crossandra. Mangan anticipates a traffic signal at this point as the plat is fully developed. County Road 44 is scheduled to be widened in 1994. At this time, Bill Mangan asked for a motion from the PAC on the gift from the Lion's Club so a copy can be sent to the Lion's. SAM EMOND MADE A MOTION TO ACCEPr THE DONATION FROM THE LION'S CLUB FOR THE FISHING PIER AT SAND POINT BEACH AND THE PARKS ADVISORY COMMITrEE WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS THEIR GRATITUDE FOR THIS GENEROUS DONATION. PAT HEANEY SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Kathy Smith questioned why the Council approved the allocation of funds for the fishing pier before it had been discussed by the PAC. Bill Mangan agreed that the normal procedure would be that the PAC would make the recommendation to the Council first, and that this would have happened if the PAC had met on May 10; the council meeting was on May 17. The next item of business was the review of Woodridge Estates, Second Addition. The second phase (54 lots) will include a neighborhood park. Each lot will be assessed a $350.00 park dedication fee (used to offset the capital park fund). A trail will be connected off of Toronto Avenue, along Mushtown Road, through the park area and into the Pond. Art Schoot asked if the Fire Department has any input into these developments. Bill Mangan said that the Fire Department does review the street names, etc. so that there will be no confusion as to the location of the address. Robert Rykken asked if the ordinance had been changed whereby the house can only occupy a certain percentage of the lot size. Mangan indicated that the ordinance used to be 18% but the Planning Commission and the Council approved 22% lot coverage. Bob Emond asked how this would affect older lots in Prior Lake. Mangan indicated that anything on a "lot of record" are usually unconditionally granted variances.

The neighborhood park in Woodridge Estates, Second Addition, will be funded for development in 1994. Trails will be graded and paved prior to houses being built. Bill Mangan then reviewed the Carriage Hills, Second Addition plat. The neighborhood park will be included in Phase 3, to be developed in Fall, 1993 or Spring, 1994. There are 10 different contractors in this area, and the present plan is to build homes in Phase 2 for the Fall, 1993 Home Preview and use the neighborhood park location for parking. Therefore, the park area will be graded and seeded by the developer before Fall, which will be a savings to the City. He then reviewed the location of the trails. Fiilal approval for Carriage Hills, Second Addition, will go to the Council on June 7. There was some discussion on The Wilds project concerning parks and trails. He reviewed the trail system as indicated on the map and general information of the proposed plans. The two hundred acre golf course has been approved; however, the housing development has not yet been approved. Some discussion followed. Pat Heaney asked about the Sioux Community Center status. Bill Mangan indicated that Shakopee did not support the paving of the McKenna Drive. The Sioux community have decided to put this project on hold for awhile. Shakopee has a 4.5 million dollar referendum for a new ice arena and community center scheduled to be voted on in June. There was some discussion regarding the community center. Doug Berens asked for Old Business. Mangan gave the highlights of the Spring Dance Recital which was held on May 1 and 2. The performance was excellent, and a great success. For the new members, Mangan informed them that this is our largest park program with over 200 students enrolled in the program. Mangan reviewed the Spring recreation activities. He noted that a few of the adult trips were cancelled; overall, registration has been up over last year. The Summer brochure will be in the Prior Lake American on Saturday, May 29th with registration beginning on Tuesday, June 8 at 6:30 p.m. Ron Ceminsky questioned when the stop light on Franklin Trail and County Road 21 was to be installed. Mangan stated that the bid was let last Fall and installation was to be this Spring. There was some discussion concerning the dangers at this intersection. Kathy Smith asked when the grass was to be mowed at The Pond. She indicated that it was very long a few weeks ago when soccer was being played there. Ron Ceminsky said that he noticed that garbage was being mowed over and suggested that something be attached so that garbage could be picked up.

Pat Heaney suggested that correspondence from the City should be printed back to back to conserve paper. Mangan felt this certainly could be done, but indicated that our paper is recyclable paper. Sam Emond asked if he and Bob could receive a listing of the new members, etc. Bill Mangan said he would check to see if the City Manager's office would be handling this. The next scheduled meeting will be July 12. The joint meeting/park tour with the City Council on June 7 will serve as the June meeting. KATHY SMITH MADE A MOTION TO ADJOURN THE MEETING. PAT HEANEY SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED.
