DATE: May 19, 2016 INTRODUCTION The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to consider a proposal from SW Land, LLC regarding the park located in Country Oaks North 2 "d Addition. DISCUSSION This item was tabled from the last meeting on May 5, 2016 to allow the developer to itemize the proposed improvements along with estimated costs for review by the Park and Recreation Commission. The itemized list proposed by the developer is attached. Staff has also provided an itemized list that is slightly modified from the developer's list that the Park and Recreation Commission is requested to consider. If the Commission agrees with the list provided by staff or would like to make modifications to the list, it will be necessary to determined how much the developer is willing to contribute toward the improvements. Once that amount has been identified by the developer, the Park and Recreation Commission will need to determine if they are in agreement with the amount being offered. The City's portion of the improvements would be funded from the Park Improvement Fund. Any contribution from the Park Improvement Fund will have an impact to other projects the Park and Recreation Commission has been considering as part of the 2017 -2021 Park Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Note: There are three (3) developments that are coming due in 2016 as far as paying off the remainder of the park dedication fees. The developer's will have the option to pay the fees in 2016 or the fees will be assessed to each of the properties (in this case it may take another 5 years to collect the remainder of the park dedication fees). SW Land, LLC will be present at the meeting to discuss the proposal. ACTION REQUIRED The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to consider a proposal from SW Land, LLC regarding the park located in Country Oaks North 2 "d Addition.

Consider Naming of Park Property/ Country Oaks North 2 "d Addition DATE: May 19, 2016 INTRODUCTION The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to consider naming the park property that is located in Country Oaks North 2 "d Addition. DISCUSSION Attached is the location of the park. This parcel will be dedicated as park on the plat of Country Oaks North 2 "d Addition in the very near future with Anoka County. The park will also need to be added to the Andover Parks and Trails Map. The Maple View open space property is located adjacent to the park on the north side. The Commission may want to consider naming the new park area as Maple View Park since the main access to the open space will be through the proposed park. This arrangement is very similar to the park and open space at Martin Meadows located in the northwest part of Andover (Park 7A on the Parks map). If it is recommended to name the park Maple View Park, this will be presented to the City Council at the next available meeting for final approval. ACTION REQUIRED The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to recommend the naming of the park located in Country Oaks North 2 "d Addition. Respectfully submitted, Todd J.

Review Outstanding Items/Maintenance Update DATE: May 19, 2016 Issues list as of 5/19/16 COMPLETED PROJECTS — ON -GOING PROJECTS - • Update of Park Dedication Improvement Fund Quarterly Report — Next quarterly report will be in July. • Update of Quarterly Sheriffs Department Report on Park Patrol & Vandalism — Next quarterly report will be in July. • Andover Lions Park — Nothing new to report. The City Council has approved the 2015 funding for replacing the playground equipment be carried over into 2016 along with the installation of the irrigation system. The backstop and sideline fencing will also be done in 2016. The existing monument sign will be relocated further back outside the right of way so a sidewalk can be constructed. The water service and irrigation system will also be done in 2016. Staff has met with the neighborhood representatives to discuss playground equipment options and we are still waiting to hear back from them. It is staff s understanding that the neighborhood has been out and about gathering donations for the playground equipment. Pine Hills South Park Update — As mention by staff at the last meeting on April 7th, the Parks Maintenance Department has indicated that the playground equipment will require parts of the playground equipment to be replaced or refurbished (there is a chance the entire structure may need to be replaced). After further investigation the existing playground equipment will most likely need to be replaced due its age and condition (paint is peeling and the platforms rubber coating is wearing out). Staff is waiting for the playground supplier to respond as to the condition of the entire structure to determine if the entire structure should be replaced or refurbished (replace the existing equipment but possibility keep the posts and rebuild with a new playground structure). If it is determined that the playground equipment needs to be replaced or can be refurbished, Parks Maintenance Department will be requesting that this replacement or refurbishment be done in 2017 along with the installation of the wood chips and the additional concrete borders. Forest Meadows Park — The Parks Maintenance Department has graded the site. The concrete borders and access is completed. The playground equipment install will begin soon. The existing shelter frame will be repainted since the paint is starting to peel. • Timber Trails Park — The grading of the site has started to allow the fencing contractor to get started. The majority of the grading will start around May 19,'. • Kelsey Round Lake Park Master Plan — The final draft Master Plan will be discussed by the City Council at their May 24 h Workshop meeting. Chairman Stenzel will be attending the meeting. The remainder of the Commission has the option to attend if you like. • Sunshine Park Scoreboards — The scoreboard install is under way and will be done shortly. The electrical contractor will be notified to begin installing the wiring. • City Campus Expansion Master Plan — Nothing new to report. Now that the Master Plan has been approved by the City Council, the City Administrator and the various departments will continue looking at improvements that are a priority and identify them in the 5 year Capital Improvement Plan. • Update on Parks Department Website — The City of Andover's website was updated a few months ago. Staff would appreciate it if the Park and Recreation Commission could review the updated website and let staff know what your thoughts are at http://www.andovermn.g_ov/131/Parks- Maintenance -Dept (This will be removed from the list) ON -HOLD PROJECTS — None at the time. UPDATE OFANDOVER COMMUNITYCENTER ADVISORYBOARD — Commissioner Butler OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST — Prairie Knoll Park Cell Tower — Nothing new to report. Still waiting for them to indicate when they are planning on starting on the construction. (This will be removed from the list and will be brought back if there is any activity) Prairie Knoll Park Turf Improvements — Just as a reminder, the west field will shut down for the 2016 season. The field has been already reshaped and reseeded since the weather was pretty decent in early November. The east field has also been worked on. Staff has notified the soccer, lacrosse and football associations about the east field being shut down for a while in the spring and possibly into summer. The Park Commission will need to discuss the use of the fields and the number of games /practices that would be allowed per week to prevent overuse of fields for the upcoming fall season at all game fields. Staff will provide a recommendation as part of that discussion. Update of Park Signage Alone County Roads /City Streets — Nothing new to report. The County has indicated that it is possible on larger sized parks (for example Kelsey Round Lake Park or Pine Hills North) but not for neighberhood or smaller type of parks. Staff will prepare a plan over the winter months. Once a plan has been drafted, staff will meet the Anoka County Highway Department for their review and approval. If the sign locations are approved they would be installed sometime in the spring or summer of 2016. Update of Pedestrian Trails — The trails that are planned for 2016 are as follows: ➢ 8 foot Bituminous trail along Crosstown Blvd (west side) from Coon Creek Bridge to South Coon Creek Drive. Note: The City did not receive any funding from the Safe Routes to School grant for this project. This project will be paid for from the trail fund. ➢ 5 foot Concrete sidewalk along Bunker Lake Blvd (south side) from Yukon Street NW to Hidden Creek North Park. Note: Item is on agenda to recommend to the City Council the trail locations as part of the 2017 -2021 CIP. Update of the Reconstruction of Bunker Lake Boulevard from Crane Street NW to Jefferson Street NE in Ham Lake — It is anticipated that the road reconstruction will begin in mid to late June. The tree removal has been completed. As part of this project trail segments along the north side of Bunker Lake Boulevard will either be left in place or portions reconstructed. A pedestrian underpass will be constructed near the Bunker Hills Activity Center. Also the trail will continue on the north side to Jefferson Street in the City of Ham Lake. A new trail on the north side of Bunker Lake Blvd NW will be constructed from Crane Street NW, crossing the railroad tracks to Andover Lions Park. Also a new trail segment will be constructed on the south side from the Anoka County Highway Department, crossing the railroad tracks, tying into Bunker Hills Regional Park. An overpass will not be constructed over the railroad tracks due to the cost of the bridge. Update of Scheduling Park and Recreation Commission meeting at a City Park or Facility — As of right now the Commission is interested in having a meeting at Rose Park shelter in September to discuss the shelter and any other items that will be on the agenda. If you have any questions or comments regarding any of the items mentioned above or any items relating to parks or projects, feel free to contact Todd Haas or Dave Berkowitz at the City. Staff recommends the Commission continue reviewing the City Council meeting minutes that you receive by e -mail as to discussions of various projects the City Council has been working on or is considering. Note: If you have any items that you would like to add to the list, let me know at the meeting.

Berkowitz, Director of Public Works /City Engineer FROM: Todd J. Haas, Assistant Public Works Director SUBJECT: A. Discuss 2017 -2021 Parks Capital Improvement Plan, Cont. DATE: May 19, 2016 INTRODUCTION The Park and Recreation Commission are requested to continue discussing the 2017 -2021 Parks Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). This item is being continued from the last meeting. The Park and Recreation Commission has raised the question to the Finance and Engineering Departments about increasing the number of residential building permits for each of the years. Based on what staff knows as of right now, we are not anticipating any large residential plats to be submitted in the next 3 to 5 years. Therefore, it is not recommended to increase the number of residential platted lots that are identified in each of the next 5 years. In addition, the park dedication fees that are due for recent platted residential lots will be assessed over 5 years, so staff cannot recommend committing to those revenues as part of the Park Improvement Fund. The Park and Recreation Commission will need to determine what approach should be considered, either leave the Projected Fund Balance sheet as is or revise the spreadsheet to phase the Fox Meadows Park improvements into 2 phases (install the well in 2017 and complete the remaining improvements in 2018). Even if the project was proposed to be phased in 2 years, the ending fund balance for 2018 will have a deficit. A copy of the draft layout of Fox Meadows Park is attached to this item. The proposed basketball court at Nordeen's Park on the draft Park Improvement Fund is included in the spreadsheet. As you may recall, a petition from the neighborhood was submitted last year to construct this. The draft Park Improvement Fund spreadsheet identifies the City Campus Hockey Rinks (pave rinks and parking lot) along with the Langseth Park Trail Improvement being removed. The target date for draft CIP is June 3rd. Attached is a projected fund balance sheet that was prepared recently by the Finance Department. The Commission will need to make revisions for 2017 -2020 so that the ending balance for each year has a positive balance of $50,000.00 or more. The only significant improvement that is planned for 2017 is the renovation of Fox Meadows Park. Listed below are the current projects listed for 2017 -2020 and the recommendation of each: 2017 • Small irrigation project - $20,000 (no recommended changes from staff). • Pine Hills North/Construction of storage building - $100,000 (to be funded by donations) Note: At this point no association has stepped forward to offer to build a storage building. Leaving this on the spreadsheet does not impact the park improvement fund balance. • Fox Meadows Park - $457,300. • Nordeen's Park - $7,500 (new based on petition from 2016). • Annual Misc. Projects - $15,000 (no recommended changes from staff). 2018 • Small irrigation project - $20,000 (no recommended changes from staff). • City Hall Hockey Campus/Pave rinks and parking lot - $150,000 (has been identified to be removed from the Park Improvement Fund). • Annual Misc. Projects - $15,000 (no recommended changes from staff). 2019 • Small irrigation project - $20,000 (no recommended changes from staff). • Langseth Park/Trail improvement - $20,000 (has been identified to be removed from the Park Improvement Fund). If property owner at some point has a change of heart to allow the trail to be constructed through their property then the City can look at using the park improvement funds at that time. • Annual Misc. Projects - $15,000 (no recommended changes from staff). 2020 • Pine Hills North/Parking lot with curb - $120,000 (the Commission will need to determine if this project will be done in 2020 or beyond or if the project should be removed from 5 year plan). • Wild Iris Park Irrigation Project — $42,500 Irrigation and water service. 2021 • No projects identified as of yet. As mentioned in the past there are a number of parks that do not have security lights. Also keep in mind the Public Works Parks Department has expressed concern in the past that some of the parks need to be updated with a paved surface parking lot throughout the parks system. If the Commission is interested in knowing the planned improvements for all the parks, review Section F of the Information Packet (2010 Existing and Future Park Facilities Chart). BUDGETIMPACT Depending on what the Commission would like to recommend for projects, the Finance Department has indicated to Public Works that the ending fund balance for each of the 5 years should have a minimum positive balance of $50,000 or more.

Begin Discussions on Parks and Open Space Plan Update DATE: May 19, 2016 INTRODUCTION The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to discuss the Parks and Open Space Plan. DISCUSSION The City of Andover along with other Metro Cities has been notified that it is time again for the Cities to begin updating their City Comprehensive Plan. Chapter 5 of the existing Andover Comprehensive Plan is in regards to the Parks and Open Space Plan and is attached for your review. It is recommended to determine if any changes and/or updates should be made and/or if there is a new vision the Park and Recreation Commission would like to consider. A copy of the Met Council Regional Parks Statement for Andover and Table 3 -1 (Classification System for Local and Regional Facilities) was in your March 17th, 2016 packet for your review. The Park and Recreation Commission have until December 2016 to prepare a draft to the Andover Planning Department so this Chapter can be included with the other Chapters of the Andover Comprehensive Plan. Once all the Chapters have been received from the various departments, the draft will be sent to Metro Council for their review most likely in early 2017. ACTION REQUIRED The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to discuss the Parks and Open Space Plan. Respectfully submitted, Todd J. Haas Attachments: Chapter 5 (Parks and Open Space Plan) I I I I �iVDOVE - 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update Chapter Five: Parks and Open Space Plan l' I 'I' Y 0 4' ����^ 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update Chapter Five: Parks and Open Space Plan The City of Andover provides a variety of recreation opportunities to its residents through implementation of the Parks and Open Space Plan. The City recognizes that the anticipated growth in population will increase demands on existing facilities and programs. This chapter provides description of the various parks and recreation facilities, the tools used to plan the park system and also establishes site selection criteria for both parks and open space. Goals, policies and objectives are presented in Chapter One: Foundation of the Comprehensive Plan. Parks The City contains 65 parks ranging in size from under an acre to more than 100 acres. Anoka County operates two regional parks that serve Andover residents. There are no State or,Federal parks within the city limits. Figure 5.1 shows the location of all parks and trails within the City. Figure 5.2 identifies the type of facilities in each park. 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 (Figure 5.3). All types of local facilities can be found within the City including mini - parks, neighborhood parks \playgrounds, community playfields, and community parks. The City uses these categories in the selection of park locations to ensure a variety of park types and facilities are available to serve the needs of residents. Regional Parks The two regional parks that serve Andover residents are Bunker Hills Regional Park and Rum River Central Regional Park (Figure 5.4). Bunker Hills Regional Park Bunker Hills Regional Park is a 1600 acre regional park reserve located in the southeast corner of Andover and extends into the adjacent cities of Blaine, Coon Rapids and Ham Lake. The park includes a variety of passive and active recreation facilities such as picnic areas, campgrounds, playgrounds, an indoor and outdoor archery range; a water park with multiple slides, a sand play area, a proposed lazy river, plus a wave pool; native prairie, wetland, oak savannah areas, a small lake, shade plant gardens, abundant wildlife, hiking, biking, horse and. cross country skiing trails, a veterans memorial, and an 18 -hole professional golf course. A horse stable and arena offer riding lessons, trail rides, hayrides and campfire opportunities. An activities center offers public meeting rooms and offices full time park staff. A year -round full service restaurant with banquet and meeting facilities offers seasonal theatre and serves as the golf course clubhouse. An overall master plan for the park is available from the Anoka County Park & Recreation Department.

Rum River Central Regional Park Rum River Central Regional Park is a 434 acre regional park located adjacent to the northwest corner of the city on the west bank of the Rum River. A substantial improvement project completed in 1999 allowed the park to reopen with picnic areas and pavilion, playground equipment, boat launch and fishing deck, as well as hiking, biking, horse and cross country skiing trails. Expansion of the park area has been discussed by the Metropolitan Parks and Open Space Commission. This expansion would likely not affect adjacent residential property within Andover due to the park being separated by the Rum River. An overall master plan for the park is available from the Anoka County Park & Recreation Department. More information can also be found on their Website: www.anokacountyparks.com a Regional Trails The two regional trails that pass through Andover are the Central Anoka County Regional Trail and the 7th Avenue Regional Trail (Figure 5.4), as identified in the Metropolitan Council's 2030 Regional Parks Policy Plan. Funding for these trails is provided by city, county, state and federal sources. Figure D shows the location of these trails in the city. A county wide trails map is available from the Anoka County Parks Department and also from their website: www.anokacountyparks.com Central Anoka County Regional Trail This trail extends along Bunker Lake Boulevard and will connect Bunker Hills Regional Park west to the Mississippi West County Park in the City of Anoka and east into Linwood Township. Presently there are two gaps in the trail within Andover. One exists between Bunker Hills Park and Hanson Boulevard to the west. A portion of this trail will be constructed with the Hanson Boulevard Improvement project with completion in 2008. However, a safe crossing of the Burlington Northern Railroad needs to be resolved before the trail will connect with Bunker Hills Regional Park. The second gap is between Round Lake Boulevard and 7th Avenue. This trail segment will likely be constructed at the time this section of Bunker Lake Boulevard is reconstructed by Anoka County. 7t" Avenue Regional Trail This trail presently exists south of the intersection of Bunker Lake Boulevard and 7�' Avenue and continues south to the Mississippi River Regional Trail to provide a continuous route that connects with the Minneapolis park system. The 7th Avenue Regional Trail is planned to extend north along 7th Avenue to the Rum_ River Central Regional Park in the future. Recreation Facilities Recreation facilities are an essential component of active use parks. 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 provide guidelines for such development. 6 l' 1 T 1' O P N&M 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update The city has used these guidelines in the preparation of a Park Study with community input. This document evaluates the present park system and facilities and uses growth projections from the Land Use Plan to determine the steps necessary to complete the park system. The Park Study is updated regularly and determines not only community park needs, but also establishes the annual park dedication fees that pay for the needed park improvements. The park dedication fees are based on a combination of needs from all new development, including residential, commercial and industrial. Additionally, the city maintains a detailed list of park facilities including their type, age and expected life. This list aids routine maintenance of facilities and is used to determine the types of facilities and improvements that need to be included in the Capital Improvement Plan. Open Space A plan for the preservation of open space is necessary to protect natural areas from development, as well as to protect water and air quality and to preserve wildlife habitat. The city has worked cooperatively with a variety of resource protection organizations to enhance natural areas within the existing park system and to protect floodplain and wetlands. In 2006, Andover residents approved a bond referendum to provide a dedicated funding source for the preservation of open space. The Council subsequently established an Open Space Advisory Commission to develop preservation recommendations. The Commission, in cooperation with the Anoka Conservation District, prepared a natural resource inventory as a basis for these recommendations. Open Space Evaluation and Site Selection Criteria The city has established criteria to evaluate sites for preservation opportunities. The following criteria are used to properly evaluate sites for open space preservation. The City of Andover will evaluate sites for open space preservation opportunities based on the following criteria: 1. The area provides an opportunity to protect and preserve significant local natural resources, including: a. Sensitive groundwater areas b. Natural hydrological systems c. Native plant communities d. Buffer areas adjacent to lakes, streams and wetlands e. Buffer areas adjacent to upland natural plant and animal communities f. Lands important as wildlife or corridors g. Threatened or endangered species of plants or animals h. Other notable features, including historical, educational, archaeological, aesthetic, and other features 7 mkv2008 Comprehensive Plan Update Park Land Site Selection Criteria The city has established criteria to evaluate sites for their potential to fulfill the needs identified by the plans and studies described earlier in this chapter. The following criteria are used to properly evaluate sites for the location of parks, recreation facilities. 1. The area is in close proximity to particular natural resources, such as lakes, rivers and other unique features 2. The area is sufficient in size to allow the user to experience the natural resource and enjoy compatible recreation activities without degrading the natural resource or the visitor's experience 3. The area is suitable for recreation opportunities that complement those provided by other city parks and county and regional agencies 4. The area is geographically located to fulfill and not duplicate the type of park and facilities needed to serve the present needs of residents and the needs of the long range projected population in the service area 5. The area is located where it will be easily accessible 6. The area is physically suitable for types of facilities that are needed in the service ■ area 2. The area to be protected is sufficient in size to preserve and enhance natural resources 3. The area presents an opportunity to protect significant natural resources that would otherwise be negatively affected by development, land use change or negligence 4. The area provides opportunities for passive recreation and observation of the natural environment 5. The area provides views of the natural environment along transportation corridors including roads and trails 6. Other factors may be considered, including the amount of similar resources that exist, the location of the area, the amount of funding available, and others. The Open Space Commission will establish an objective system for recommended selection of Sites.

The area has sufficient size and flexibility to provide a variety of recreation opportunities and the capacity to be adapted to the changing needs of residents in the future 8. The area can provide linkage to the trail system, open space corridors or other parks Implementation The Park Study summarizes the types of parks and facilities that are needed to complete the park system. The park facilities maintenance list and policies track the condition and useful life of existing facilities. These documents are used to determine the improvements that need to be included in the city's Capital Improvement Plan. As described earlier in this chapter, the Park and Recreation Commission and City Council make decisions about the location of new parks based on the needs identified in the Park Study, the goals, objectives and policies of this plan and the selection criteria established in this chapter. These goals will be implemented based on overall public policy and finance considerations. Acquisition of Parks and Open Space To assure protection and availability of public land, the City of Andover shall utilize various methods of acquisition, including but not limited to: 1. Park Dedication 2. City purchase 3. County, regional, state or federal funding 4. Conservation easements 5. Purchase or transfer of development rights 6. Assistance and /or cost - sharing with other agencies 7. Donations /bequests 8. Actions by conservation organizations and foundations 9. Tax forfeited land - M 6
