(Ms. Sabel ar-r-ived at this tIme. 7:40 p.m.)
Because a concer-n of the Council has been the type of industr-y that
could develop ar-ound the r-ailr-oad. Mr-. Wuor-nos was encour-aged to make
a cepor-t on the types of clean industr-y that would be allowed,
possibly including pictur-es of similiar- industr-ies, and a compar-ison
of taxes to the r-esidents with and without a lar-ger- industr-ial base.
Mr-. Wuor-nos stated he will put together- a technical memor-andum
outlining all of this infor-mation and submit it to the Task For-ce for-
r-ev i ew. 'C-

CHAPTER VIII - PARKS. RECREATION AND OPEN SPACES REVIEW
,~)
Mr-. Wuornos explained that all the changes requested by the Park and
Recreation Commission have been incorporated into the Chapter. He
expected that those areas in the Chapter that stat "requires
additional discussion" will be completed this evening. A copy of the
Five-Year Capital Improvements Plan is to be inserted into the
Chapter.
Because there was no representation from the Park Board. the Task
Force dId not wish to r-eview the Chapter. It was agreed instead to
have a joint meeting with the Park Board to review the Chapter. Later
in the meeting it was agr-eed to meet with the Park Boar-d at their July
18 meeting.
The Task Force questioned whether there are plans for a canoe access
to Round Lake in Kelsey Park. Mr-. Car-Iber-g didn't think so but would
convey that desire to the Park Board. He also pointed out the acreage
shown for Kelsey Par-k is inaccur-ate. He will check on the cor-r-ect
figure. He will also send Mr-. Wuor-nos a copy of the proposed
development of Kelsey Par-k.
Discussion was then on open spaces within the City. Mr. Carlber-g
explained the curr-ent planning concept is that parks and open ar-eas
would be the focal point within residential and commercial
developments. He felt the CIty has the contr-ols to do a good job in
that respect. but that objective should be stated in the Comprehensive
Plan. It was agr-eed to discuss this with the Par-k Boar-d at the joint
meeting.
Discussion was also on munIcipal golf coucses, as sevecal membecs felt
~ ~ that is a gr-owing demand. It pr-ovides the desir-ed open spaces and is
"j a desir-able buffer- to either- r-esldentlal or- Industr-lal ar-eas. Mr-.
Wuor-nos felt a good ar-ea for- a municipal golf cour-se would be In the
nor-theast ar-ea of Hanson and Cr-osstown Boulevar-ds between higher-
density housIng and a pr-oposed industr-lal ar-ea east of the r-ailr-oad
tr-acks. It was agr-eed to discuss this item with the Par-k Boar-d also.

VIII. PARKS, RECREATION, AND OPEN SPACES
A. INTRODUCTION
The City of Andover is concerned with providing a variety of recreational
opportunities to its residents through a cost effective Parks, Recreation, and
Open Spaces program. The City recognizes that the anticipated growth in
population during the ensuing decades will create increased demands on the
existing facilities and programs. The focus of this plan is threefold: (1)
upgrade existing park facilities; (2) identify need for the creation of new parks;
and (3) create an interlocking trail facility.
B. GOALS
~)
The folIowing is a summary of the City's goals related to parks, recreation,
and open spaces.
1. Provide parks, recreation, and open space needed to sufficiently care
for the needs of the community and to distribute the facilities and
programs in an efficient manner to serve its populous.
2. Provide for timely development of community facilities in such a way
as to ensure cost/benefit efficiency as welI as efficient distribution of
facilities and services to its populous.
3. Protect, preserve, and enhance natural resources and amenities.
4. Promote, protect, preserve, and enhance the community's rural, open
space character.

CURRENT STATUS
A community's set of recreational opportunities is typicalIy comprised of a
variety of passive and active programs and facilities. The jurisdictional
responsibility may be federal, state, regional, county, or local.
The City of Andover has no federal or state parks within its boundaries.
However, it does contain numerous local and regional parks and recreation
opportunities. The parks range in size from less than a half acre to over 400
acres of land being used for part of Bunker HiIls Regional Park.
1. Types of Parks
~)
The Metropolitan Council has categorized local and regional parks according
to factors such as size, use, service area, location, and site attributes (Table
VIII-A). AII types of local facilities can be found within the City including
mini-parks, neighborhood parks/playgrounds, community playfields, and
community parks. In addition, two regional parks are partialIy located within
Andover. These are the Bunker Hills Regional Park and the Rum River
Central Regional Park.
For purposes of clarity in this document, adjustments must be made in the
definitions of the size of mini- and neighborhood parks. Mini-parks are sites
less than two acres in size, while neighborhood parks are larger than two acres
to 25 acres. The remainder of the definitions displayed in Table VIII-A are
considered applicable to this document. It should be understood that there
may be some functional overlap of size and use, and that the definitions are
generalized in nature.

Local Facilities
a. Parks
An inventory of local parks (Figure VIII-A, Table VIII-B and Appendix VIII-
A) reveal that the City of Andover has 50 local parks ranging in size from 0.34
acres in size to 99.2 acres. The total amount of land designated as parks is
approximately 410 acres (approximately 1.8 percent of the City's total area).
Nineteen of these parks (approximately 110 acres) are currently undeveloped.
~)
Of the 50 local parks, most are considered to be neighborhood parks, which
range in size from 1.4 acres to 16.8 acres. Although the sizes of these parks
are smaller than the defined size according to the Metropolitan Council
classification, the service area and functional use fit the criteria. These parks
are for intense recreational activities such as field games, courts, apparatus
areas, skating, etc. The service radius ranges from 1/4 mile to over 1/2 mile.
The activity level of these parks ranges from minimal in some of the smaller
parks to very active at the larger Stroot man and Hawkridge Parks.
Andover has two recreation sites designated as community service facilities.
Kelsey Round Lake Park is 99.2 acres in size and belongs in the category of
community "park." The City is in the process of developing this site with a
focus on nature oriented outdoor activities. Andover City Park (36 acres)
belongs in the community "playfield" category. This park accommodates
intense recreational activities such as softball, hockey, soccer, and tennis. It
includes lighted tennis courts and hockey rink.

Trails
A trail system within Andover does not exist at this time. However, the City's
residents do have access to a trail system developed within the Bunker HiIls
Regional Park'in the southeast corner of the City. This trail system is
designed to provide access to Andover residents at two points along Bunker
Lake Road.
3. Regional Parks Relationship
Pursuant to specified requirements of the Metropolitan Council, the foIlowing
information is provided:
a. Existing and proposed federal, state, regional, local or other
recreational open space facilities and their function
:J
1)
There are no existing or proposed federal parks within or
adjacent to Andover.
2) The State of Minnesota has designated the Rum River, which
flows along the western boundary of Andover, as a Wild, Scenic,
Recreational River. The intended purpose of this designation
is to provide river-oriented recreational activities such as
boating and canoeing, camping, rest stops, etc. In conjunction
with the State's efforts, Andover has designated on its zoning
map land adjacent to the Rum River as "Scenic River" land.

3)
There are parts of two Regional Parks located within Andover.
The Rum River Regional Park (Figure VIII-B) is located in the
northwest corner of the City along the banks of the Rum River.
Although there is a designated boat access on the Andover side
of the river, it has not been developed. Most of the formally
designated activity areas are currently developed on the west
side of the river. There are no existing or proposed trails at this
site with which the City's trail system can link. All land adjacent
to this park within Andover is zoned for residential use. This
zoning is also proposed for future land use.
Bunker Hills Regional Park (Figure VIII.C) is located in the
southeast corner of Andover and extends into the City of Coon
Rapids. This park includes numerous recreation facilities such
as picnic areas, playgrounds, camping, swimming, bike trails, and
hiking trails. The trail system is accessible to Andover residents
at two points along Bunker Lake Boulevard. The current and
proposed land uses adjacent to this park and within Andover
are zoned for residential use. The proposed future land use
surrounding Bunker Hills Regional Park is also low density
residential.

D. ISSUES
The City is faced with a variety of issues related to parks, recreation, and open
space. The rapid population growth of the City has created greater demands
on existing recreational facilities. In turn, with the projected growth, there is
a projected need for strategically located additional facilities, and upgrading
of existing facilities.
Andover's Park and Recreation Commission has identified a set of concerns
to be addressed in this plan. These include:
1. Kelsey Round Lake Park - expansion and upgrade of this 99
acre site as a community park.
2. Andover Central Park - expansion and upgrade of this 36 acre
site as a community playfield.
,J
3.
Addition of two neighborhood parks, one in the northwestern
part of the City and one in the central part of the City.
4. Addition of one community park surrounding Ward Lake in the
northeast part of the City.
5. Upgrade of all existing parks on an ongoing basis.
6. Planning and implementation of a formal trail system for
bicycles.
7. Lighting of baIIfields at various locations.
In addition to the issues and concerns of the Park and Recreation
Commission, the Metropolitan Council requires the identification of local
recreation needs to the year 2000.

PLAN
The Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan has a long, medium, and short
range component. The long range component serves as the master parks plan
for the City which. the medium and short range components serve as
intermediary steps. The goals for this plan are identified in Section VIII-B of
this document. The following provides a discussion of objectives, standards,
and policies of this plan.
1. Objectives
The parks, recreation and open space plan consists of five specific objectives.
These include: the acquisition and development of appropriate lands, the
acquisition of necessary funds, upgrade and maintenance of parks and
recreation facilities, trails development, and the designation and maintenance
of open space (Table VIII-C).
:J
a.
Acquisition and Development of Land
The Andover Park and Recreation Commission has identified three
generalized locations for future parks. These include two neighborhood parks
(5 to 15 acres) and one community park. The two neighborhood parks will
be located in the northwestern and central areas, while the community park
wiIl be located surrounding Ward Lake in northeast ^ndover (Figure VIII-E).
The timing of these acquisitions has not been established.
Kelsey Round Lake Park is planned for expansion prior to 1995. The
acquisition of land for this expansion wiII occur at the north end of the existing
park. This expansion will provide an access corridor between the existing park
and 157th Avenue Northwest.

Acquisition of Funds.
The acquisition of significant funds is necessary to implement the parks,
recreation and open space plan. The targeted resources for fu~ds include:
(1) development agreements for "cash in lieu of land" (Section
9.07.5 of the City's Code);
(2) grants and gifts;
(3) user fees; and
(4) special assessments.
c. Upgrading and Maintenance of Park Facilities.
;.J
Continuous upgrading and maintenance of park facilities are required to
implement this plan. The short range objective is to gradualIy upgrade
existing park facilities based on population needs and available resources.
Two focal points of this effort include Kelsey Round Lake Park and Andover
Central Park.
Themedium range plan (year 2000) calIs for the continuous upgrade of mini-
and neighborhood parks in conjunction with directed residential development
and population expansion. The plan caBs for the completion of Kelsey Round
Lake Park and the expansion and completion of Andover Central Park.
The long range plan (beyond year 2000) calIs for the development of a
community park surrounding Ward Lake in northeast Andover. Also, the plan
includes the development of a neighborhood park in northwest Andover. The
size and use intensity of each of these parks is yet to be determined.
d. Trails Development.
An important feature of the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan is the
integration of existing and proposed recreation areas with a trail system. The
trails plan (Figure VIII-F) provides a series of loops throughout the City. This
loop arrangement is designed to connect human activity centers (such as
VIII-IS
,',
i---.J
~J
DRAFf - 6/20/91
parks, schools, and commercial centers), and to provide access to residential
neighborhoods.
The primary focus of the trail system is for bicycle and pedestrian use. The
long range plan is to have a totaIly grade separated trail system with all
identified component links in place. The medium range plan calIs for a
mixture of grade separated and nonseparated trails with the major
components in place. The short range plan calIs for the identification of
component links (Figure VIII-F) and signage and separation where possible.
The major component links are identified as those having high potential for
use prior to the year 2000. The focus of these links are the commercial area
at Bunker Lake and Round Lake Boulevards, Bunker HiIIs Regional Park,
and the City HaIl/Central Park area. The links include:
\:J
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
Bunker Lake Boulevard
Hanson Boulevard
Round Lake Boulevard
Crosstown Boulevard
Prior to the year 2000, the plan calIs for sign age and line separation of all
component links on roadways which currently have paved shoulders. As
roadways are upgraded, the trails are to be grade separated from the
roadways.
Most of the trail system can be developed within existing road rights-of-way.
However, there are some links for which land acquisition wiIl be required.
This acquisition wiII be accomplished through land dedication and purchase.

Standards
DRAFT - 6/20/91
Table VIII-A provides a set of criteria for classification of parks and open
space. These criteria are generalized in nature and do not address activity
specific needs within a community.
The development of recreation facilities requires an understanding of
community needs based on population, service radius, and space requirements.
Standards established by the National Recreation and Parks Association
(Table VIII-D) provide guidelines for such development. The City of Andover
wiII use these standards as guidelines for the development of recreation
facilities.

The City Council has adopted the following refund policy:
"Fees for tournaments shall be paid eight weeks prior to the
tournament date. If the tournament is cancelled up to eight

returned. If the tournament is cancelled within eight weeks of
the tournament, neither the Park Usage Fee nor the Non-
intoxicating Liquor License Fee will be returned. In the event
that another sponsor requests the use of the facilities after a
tournament has been cancelled, the new sponsor must pay the full
amount and the original sponsor will be refunded the total minus
any administrative costs incurred by the City."
If further information is needed, please contact the Assistant City
Engineer at 755-5100. Application forms may be obtained from and
