Consider 2020-2021 Hockey Rink Schedule DATE: November 20, 2020 This item is in regard to considering the 2020-2021 hockey rink schedule for the upcoming season. DISCUSSION Attached is the application from the Andover Huskies Youth Hockey Association (AHYHA). Anoka, Coon Rapids and St. Francis Youth Hockey Associations have been aware that rinks are available for them to reserve but over the past few years none of them have applied since they have their own outdoors rinks that they use. Attached is the proposed schedule and the rinks that AHYHA plan on using for the 2020-2021 season. At this point AHYHA will be providing warming house attendants on Monday's, Tuesday's and Thursday's at City Hall Outdoor Complex #1, Crooked Lake School and Prairie Knoll Park. The City will be providing warming house attendants on Wednesday's, Friday's, Saturday's and Sunday's for these same locations. At Hawkridge Park the City will be providing warming house attendant 7 days a week throughout the season. % of By -Laws, Certificate Established Name of Group Participants Policies and 501C3 of Grievance from Andover Procedures (State) Insurance Procedures based on 2019-20 season Andover Huskies Yes (no Yes (no Yes Yes (no Youth Hockey 100% changes from changes changes from Assoc.

Consider Fields of Winslow Cove Sketch Plan/Park Dedication Requirements DATE: November 19, 2020 The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to review and recommend the park dedication requirements for the proposed sketch plan of Fields of Winslow Cove. DISCUSSION A copy of the sketch plan is in the side pocket of the packet. Three Hundred ninety-nine lots are being proposed. The proposed sketch plan is located on both the west and east side of Prairie Road NW just about'/4 of a mile north of Andover Boulevard NW. Also attached is the location map of where the new development is being proposed and where the location is in relation to other existing parks in the area. In reviewing the approved 2018 Park Dedication Study, the study indicates that a minimum of at least one additional Neighborhood Park is recommended to be located somewhere in Section 13, 23 and/or 24. The Park and Recreation Commission will need to determine if they would like to continue with that recommendation. Note: The definition of a Neighborhood Park per the Study is as follows: This type of facility is intended to provide areas for intense recreational activities such as field games, courts, apparatus areas, skating, etc. The majority of the City parks fall into this classification. The service areas range from '/4 to %a mile and this type of facility is generally intended to serve a population of 4,000 to 5,000 people. Park sizes for existing Neighborhood Parks within the City range from 1 acre to almost 25 acres. The developer has been invited to attend the meeting to make a short presentation on the proposed development and to answer any questions the Commission may have. ACTION REQUIRED The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to review the proposed sketch plan and recommend on the park dedication requirements for Fields of Winslow Cove Sketch Plan. Respectfully submitted, ''/oi��� Todd J. Haas Cc: Josh Metzer, Lennar (copy sent by e-mail) Attachments: Location map; Letter about the development; Copy of sketch plan (side pocket of packet lljgl pplgw,4,;, F Fj T Fl, nei -..Meg I dm 710, LENNAIT NARRATIVE: Fields of Winslow Cove U.S. Home Corp, dba Lennar, is pleased to submit this Sketch Plan for City review of the proposed single family and villa community located along Prairie Road north of Andover Blvd and south of Crosstown Blvd. Existine Conditions The subject property consists of 244 acres located in eastern Andover bounded by BNSF railroad to the west, single family (rural) to the south, single family (rural) and farm land to the east, and single family (rural) and wetlands to the north. Prairie Road essentially bisects the site in half. The current use of the site is agricultural with much of the upland being actively farmed. A significant portion of the site also consists of wetland and floodplain. There are several clusters of trees mostly located at the edges of the property and within or surrounding the wetlands. The site is relatively flat with very gradual grade changes. Description of Request Lennar is requesting Sketch Plan Review of a proposed residential community consisting of 399 single family homes. The proposed plan contains neighborhoods of varying lot widths including 80-feet, 65-feet, and 55-feet. The property is currently zoned R-1 Single Family Rural. Along with our future preliminary plat application we will be requesting a zoning amendment to Include a planned unit development overlay on the property to allow for the proposed lot widths and areas. The zoning amendment will comply with the City's 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Proposed Lot Types: 55-foot wide lots • Count: 80 homesites; • Homes: 1-story & 2-story Villas; • Garages: mostly 2-car, some 3-car; 80-foot wide lots • Count: 35 homesites; • Homes: 1-story & 2-story Single Family, • Garages: mostly 4-car, some 3-car; 65-foot wide lots • Count: 284 homesites; • Homes: 1-story & 2-story Single Family, • Garages: mostly 3-car, some 4-car; Proposed Homes and Architecture Lennar homes include varying materials and siding styles on most facades including lap siding, shakes, board and batten, and stone accents on some homes. Other architectural features available on selected facades include columns, gables, shutters, accentuated window trim and fascia, and decorative roof brackets and cornices. Architectural renderings of these homes are included with this submittal. Lennar's design team will closely monitor color packages and facades to avoid monotony and to ensure a visually appealing streetscape. Open Space Nearly 48%of the Fields of Winslow Cove community would be preserved as open space and wetlands. We are proposing the installation of a trail system throughout the open spaces to provide a passive park atmosphere for the neighborhood. Schedule The plan is to work through the preliminary plat process, along with associated approvals, during the Winter and early Spring. Grading work will hopefully begin in Spring 2021 with construction of utilities and streets beginning in Summer 2021. Ideally we would have model homes built and ready for the Fall 2021 Parade of Homes. The overall project will likely be graded in two phases and final platted in three to four additions. Lennar has a long standing history of building successful communities throughout the Twin Cities, including similar communities under development at Winslow Cove (Andover), Woodridge, Lexington Cove, Wicklow Woods (Blaine), Woodlands (Ramsey), Watermark (Lino Lakes), and Sundance Woods/Sundance Greens (Dayton). We invite you to visit any of these communities and our website at https://www.lennar.com/new- homes/minnesota/minneaoolis-st-oaul. We look forward to the opportunity to work with the City of Andover again and thank the City for Its support.

Consider Draft 2021 Park Dedication Study/Recommend Park Dedication Fee DATE: November 19, 2020 INTRODUCTION The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to consider the draft 2021 Park Dedication Study. An updated draft copy of the 2021 Park Dedication Study is in the side pocket of your packet for review. The $888,537 that is left to pay off towards the Andover Community Center has now been included in the future Park Facilities Chart. With this new addition in the chart, the revised calculated fee is $5,725 per unit for residential and $17,175 per acre or 10% of the market value of the land for commercial/industrial property (whichever is less). The current Park Dedication fee is $3,475.00 residential and $10,424.00 per acre for commercial/industrial. The main highlights of the report are as follows: • The Rural Reserve area is not included in the study. If the Rural Reserve area develops, a separate study will need to be developed which will provide recommendations on the various types of parks that could be included in the area and what the park dedication fee should be for developing those parks. • Based on the Metropolitan Council predicted buildout of the City and the surplus of Mini parks and Community Playfields, it is recommended that no additional land for Mini parks and Community Playfields be taken as part of the park dedication requirements. See Table 2 of the study. • Based on the Metropolitan Council predicted buildout of the City, there is shortage of 10 acres of Neighborhood Parks (see Table 2 of the study). The Park and Recreation Commission will need to determine if the recommendation in the last study (2018) of one additional Neighborhood Park near the east -central part of the City somewhere in Sections 13, 23, or 24 Township 32 Range 24 still stands and should be included in the 2021 Park Dedication Study. This was also noted in the 2011 Park Dedication Study. • Based on the Metropolitan Council predicted buildout of the City, Community Parks are deficient by about 94 acres (see Table 2 of the study) but as indicated on Page 8 of the study, Bunker Hills Park does make up for some if not all the acreage to satisfy NRPA suggested recommended acres. • Based on the Metropolitan Council predicted population buildout of the City and the surplus of Community Playfields as identified in Table 2 of the draft study, it is recommended that no additional land for Community Playfields (example like Sunshine Park) be taken as part of the park dedication requirements. The actual household count from the 2019 Metropolitan Council estimate and the estimated 2040 household buildout count is indicating the City is approximately 78% developed (not including the Rural Reserve Area). The City has completed approximately 70% of its identified 2040 park system based on estimated value and future improvements. This indicates that the current park system is behind with the City's current population. In 2018, the park system was on schedule with the population which was based on the Metropolitan 2016 household numbers. Note: The reason for this is due to the number of households based on the Metropolitan Council's estimate in 2016 of 15,400 for full buildout has now been reduced by Metropolitan Council to a new estimate for buildout for 2019 to 13,500. Based on the draft Park Dedication Study and the new calculated fee that has been identified, the substantive 64% fee increase will not be well received by the City Council and development community. The Council may be willing to increase a percentage of the current fee based on history of increases but until the Council weighs in it may be hard to determine what that percentage would be. Based on past park dedication fees approved by Council since 2009, the highest increase of the fee was 9.25%. To bring the proposed fee of $5,725 down to a more palatable fee, the Park and Recreation Commission will need to consider options to be recommended to the City Council. Possible options are as follows: • Reduce Future Improvements by $4.4 million or more. This would get the fee increase to 10%. • Reduce Future Improvements by a specific amount and by phasing in Park Dedication fee increase (for example by 10%) over the next several years. • Propose a percentage increase from the existing 2020 fee of $3475 and re-evaluate in 2 years. Note: If the Park and Recreation Commission members have other options that they would like to recommend to Council, please be prepared to provide those options at the meeting for discussion. The following items are included in the draft 2021 Park Dedication Study: ➢ Exhibit A - Park Service Area ➢ Exhibit C - Park Facilities Chart ➢ Exhibit E - Survey of Park Dedication Fees based on 2020 results The following items are not included with this item: ➢ Exhibit B -- Andover Parks Map ➢ Exhibit D - 2020 Existing and Future Park Facilities Chart ACTION REQUIRED The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to review the updated 2021 Park Dedication Study. Respectfully submitted, -! WAftft , Todd J. Haas Attachments: Updated Draft 2021 Park Dedication Study (side pocket of packet) MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council Members Cc: Park and Recreation Commission Jim Dickinson, City Administrator/Finance Director David D. Berkowitz, City Engineer/Director of Public Works FROM: Todd J. Haas, Assistant Public Works Director/Parks Coordinator DATE: November 10, 2020 RE: 2021 Andover Park Dedication Study (Draft) INTRODUCTION The purpose of this report is to provide the basis for an update to the park dedication fee. A significant portion of the report remains unchanged from the last erigiaal study done in 2018 -9^4' and hlast updated in 2011. The biggest change is the update on the amount of improvements that have been completed the past 2 6 years since the study was last updated in 2018 204. The recommended 2021 28:lig park dedication fee will be based on these new calculations. The City authorized a park dedication study to be conducted by Northwest Associated Consultants, Inc. back in 2002 to review city regulations and dedication requirements to determine if current practices were adequately provided for existing and future anticipated park demands. This update to the eFig. a' Fepert d to the 2911 updated study will summarize the objectives of the current Park Plan chapter of the Comprehensive Plan and provide updated inventory information to establish a base line for future dedication needs. Factors including property valuation, service area needs, facility cost analysis, future development and implementation strategies will be reviewed. Recommendations will be set forth establishing mechanisms for the City to provide park facilities in a manner that meets Comprehensive Plan goals, establishes a relationship between park need and development impact and that will build out the system in an equitable manner consistent with Minnesota Statutes and case law. This study excludes analysis of the community regional trail system. ISSUES / ANALYSIS The City's existing park system has been developed based upon the current Comprehensive Plan (which describes land use, transportation, parks and community goals and objectives as well as demographic projections to the year 2040). Andover has been successful in acquiring land during the subdivision process to provide neighborhood and mini parks throughout the community. Athletic fields and other recreation improvements have been provided based upon a combination of City, school district and regional park facilities. The City is in a good position with respect to its park and recreation system in that the variety, location, number and facilities provided by the system meet the national guidelines. The existing Parks and Open Space Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan utilized both Metropolitan Council and National Recreation and H: ENGI NEERING/PARKS/2021 PARKSTUDY.doc Parks Association' Guidelines to develop the park system standards identified in the Comprehensive Plan. The current City park system meets the national standards (based upon the number of acres of park land provided per 1,000 population), identified by the existing Comprehensive Plan. The City has provided parks throughout the community which allow residents good access to the system and there are a variety of recreational facilities to choose from including natural areas, linear parks, playgrounds and athletic facilities. Andover has also done a good job of mapping and maintaining an inventory of its park facilities and providing clear guidance through the Capital Improvement Project (CIP) process for implementation of future facilities. The purpose of this update to the original park dedication study is to update the cost or value of the Andover ultimate park system and distribute the costs of developing this system equitably to the current and future households and land uses that benefit from the City's park system. The following points summarize the key issues that will affect the City's park system: 1. The Metropolitan Council's build out population forecasted for Andover for both urban and rural areas of the City is anticipated 39,800 41,900 in 2040 and 13,500 15,499 households. Once the Rural Reserve Area population and household numbers have been identified, the park system will be determined at that time along with the gross land area and the number of acres that is considered buildable. When that occurs a separate Park Dedication Study will be required for this area. 2. The community has done a good job of acquiring land for park and recreation purposes and providing equipment/facilities to serve the recreation needs of the City. The location and type of parks within the existing system generally meet the national standards (suggested by the National Recreation and Park Association), based upon the current population of 32,882 32,335 residents 2f 019 24�6 Metropolitan Council estimate). 3. Based upon a staff review of the existing land areas which have been acquired or dedicated to the City over time, staff has identified about 61 acres (Meadowood South, Hartfiel's, Dehn's, Cedar Crest Estates, Creekridge, Birch Ridge, White Oaks, Valley View, Redwood, Landlocked, River Trails, and Cedar Crest) or about 9% of the current total parkland that may never be developed due to topography constraints such as steep slopes, wetlands and/or lakes. 4. The existing park system is predominantly comprised of smaller mini and neighborhood parks which are located throughout the community. Staff has indicated that the number and proximity of smaller parks are expensive to maintain and as such, the City may choose to limit further acquisition of small park sites within the community in favor of larger neighborhood parks or community playfields. Previous National Recreation and Parks Association (NRPA) guidelines were utilized to analyze the park system by park type and the number of acres of parkland per 1,000 population because these guidelines were utilized in the 1999 Park Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. The NRPA is a professional association that provides accreditation programs for universities and advises national lawmakers on policy matters, programs and legislation related to public parks and recreation. H:ENGINEERING/PARKS/2021 PARKSTUDY.doc 2 5. The 2010 U.S. Census indicates that over 57.8% of the City's population is comprised of young residents between the ages of 5 to 44 years of age. About 14.3% of the population is comprised of children under 10 years old. The Census figures indicate that the community has a large population of young active residents who typically generate park and recreation demands on the community. Considering the large number of children, teens and young adults, it is anticipated that park and recreation use will be strong for the foreseeable future. The final 2020 U.S. Census is not scheduled to be completed by the time this Park Dedication Study is done. 6. As the community develops and land within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) decline, future growth will occur in the rural service area and the density of development will ultimately decline. While the need for parks will continue to be strong, the financial resources that will be dedicated to the park system are expected to decline. The anticipated decreased density of development in the rural areas will result in a decline in the amount of park dedication fees that will be collected over the long-term. The land supply within the MUSA is limited and the cost of land for park acquisition could be higher than it currently is at some point in the future. 7. The current City park system as calculated by staff contains a total of about 631 acres of parkland, which is divided into 69 separate park facilities, (including Andover Station North Ball Field Facility and City Hall Outdoor Hockey Rink Complex). The total value of the park system based upon full build out (including existing and future planned facilities, land costs and 30% design/administration costs) approximates $54,995,874 $49, . The existing park system (including land costs and 30% design/administration costs) is valued at $38,422,815 $13,477,067 with approximately $16,573,059 $16,626,336 (including future land purchases and 30% design/administration costs) of future improvements to be constructed to complete the 2040 Comprehensive Plan park system. 8. The planned park system (based upon the 2040 Comprehensive Plan), is about 70% 6"1 (see Table 6) developed at this time and has been paid for by existing development (through taxes, Community Development Block Grants, other grants and park dedication fees, donations, etc.). As the City is currently about 78% 67°6 developed (10,605 48,391 households based upon the 2019 2OU Metropolitan Council's estimate out of the potential 13,500 15,400 projected 2040 build out households), existing development has already paid for over 70% 66°k of the total planned system. Future development should be responsible to pay for the remaining 30% 3"0 ($16.573,059 $16,625,336) plus a percentage of the existing system (including some facility upgrades), in order to provide for their proportionate share of the total system costs. PARK COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The City of Andover Comprehensive Plan including the Parks and Open Space -Chapter sets forth goals and objectives for the park system. The objectives of the plan are to: RENGINEERING/PARKS12021 PARKSTUDY.doc 3 Provide areas that meet present park needs and plan for future needs of the City. 2. Maintain, upgrade and expand community recreational facilities_ and trail systems to serve all residents of the City. 3. Promote, protect, preserve and enhance the City's rural and open space and amenities. The City of Andover contains 69 parks (including Andover Station North Ball Feld Facility and City Hall Outdoor Hockey Rink Complex), ranging in size from under 1 acre to over 152 acres (Kelsey Round Lake Park). Anoka County operates only one Regional Park within the corporate limits of Andover. Anoka County also operates Rum River Central Regional Park that abuts the City along the Rum River near the northwest end of the City. Exhibit A (Park Service Area Map) indicates the location of all of the existing parks and developable planned future parks within the City. The park system contains land areas that are designed to meet varying recreational needs of residents. The parks are classified according to factors including size, use, service area, location and site improvements. These classification systems for local and regional facilities as identified by the Metropolitan Council 2040 Regional Parks Policy plan are as follows: Mini Park. This type of park is intended to provide specialized facilities (facilities include improvements such as playground and fitness equipment) that _serve.. a concentrated or limited population or specific group such as tots or senior citizens. Mini parks are typically located within neighborhoods and serve people living within less than % mile of the Park and have an area of 1 acre or less. Note: For the purpose of this study, some parks that exceed 1 acre have been identified as a mini park since the park cannot be developed any more than a specialized facility. Neighborhood Park. This type of facility is intended to provide areas for intense recreational activities such as field games, courts, apparatus areas, skating, etc. The majority of the City parks fall into this classification. The service areas range from % to mile and this type of facility is generally intended to serve a population of 4,000 to 5,000 people. Park sizes for existing Neighborhood Parks within the City range from 1 acre to almost 25 acres. Note: For the purpose of this study, parks that have specialized facilities and 1 field or court have been identified as a neighborhood park. Linear Park. This type of facility is typically developed for one or more varying modes of recreational travel such as hiking, biking, skiing, canoeing etc. There is currently only one Linear Park within the City (Coon Creek Park). The park contains bituminous trails (Tom Anderson Trail) that follows Coon Creek between Hanson Blvd. NW and the Burlington Northern Railroad. Non -motorized uses including biking, hiking, roller blading and cross-country skiing are permitted in the park. Coon Creek Park contains 44 acres of land. Special Use Park. Special Use Parks are generally areas established to provide specialized or single purpose recreational activities such as golf course, nature center, H:ENGINEERINGIPARKS/2021 PARKSTUDY.doc 4 marina, zoo, display gardens etc. The Crooked Lake Boat Landings and Round Lake are designated as Special Use Parks. Crooked Lake Boat landing has a picnic shelter and boat ramp. Round Lake contains only a boat ramp. Undeveloped Parks. The City has a number of Undeveloped Parks where land has been dedicated or acquired but facilities have not yet been installed or may not have the ability to be installed. The Undeveloped Park areas range from less than 1 acre to over 10 acres in size. Many of the areas contain wetlands and are unsuitable for active plan and/or recreational equipment. Larger areas may be suitable for future trail development. Community Plavields. These types of parks or facilities are areas for intense recreational facilities such as athletic fields, hockey rinks, skate parks, courts and swimming pools and are in close proximity to secondary schools and other public facilities. These parks serve 3 to 5 neighborhoods or one community. Hawk Ridge Park, Timber Trails Park, Fox Meadows Park, Sunshine Park, Prairie Knoll Park, Shadowbrook East Park, Eveland Fields, Andover Station North Ball Field Facility, Pine Hills North Facility and City Campus Outdoor Hockey Complex would be considered in this category as both are active use parks with recreational facilities designed for league play in baseball; softball, soccer, lacrosse, football and hockey. Note: For the purpose of this study, if a park has at least 2 or more athletic fields and/or rinks, the park -has been classified into this category. Community Parks. Community Parks are generally intended to provide areas_ of natural or ornamental quality for outdoor recreation activities including walking, picnicking. These types of parks could also have some fields and court games. They serve the City as a whole and typically include between 25 to 100 acres of land. Currently one park is designed for community park use which is Kelsey Round Lake Park. This park is designated as a Community Park since it is a passive use park. that has extensive natural areas that also contains bituminous, gravel and wood chip nature trails. Regional Parks. Currently there are only two Regional Parks and one Park Conservation Area within or adjacent to Andover and are operated by Anoka County. About half of Bunker Hills Regional Park is located within the corporate limits in the southeast part of Andover and extends into the adjacent cities of Blaine, Coon Rapids and Ham Lake. The Rum River Central Regional Park abuts the City along the Rum River east of County Road 7 and the north side of the Rum River in the City of Ramsey. The Cedar Creek Conservation Area is located just to the west of Aztec Street NW with access from 181st Avenue NW (located on the Andover side of the Rum River across from Rum River Central Park). This Conservation Area is located in both the Cities of Oak Grove and Andover. The portion located in Andover is approximately 93 acres in size. Bunker Hills Regional Park includes numerous recreation facilities such as picnic areas, playgrounds, camping, swimming, walking/biking/hiking and cross-country skiing trails. Rum River Central Regional Park includes numerous recreation facilities such as picnic areas, playgrounds, camping, canoeing, walking/biking/hiking and cross-country skiing trails. H:ENGINEERINGIPARKS/2021 PARKSTUDY.doc 5 Trails. The City has developed a comprehensive regional trail system for the community. This plan is included with the City of Andover's Transportation Plan. The study does however contains interior trail access for the individual parks (where necessary), which is needed to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. Open Space. The Comprehensive Plan identifies open space as a part of the overall park system. Open space is defined as areas set aside for the preservation of natural open spaces to counteract the effects of urban congestion and monotony. Many new citizens cite Andover's natural amenities as a reason for moving into the City. As such, an objective of the Comprehensive Plan is to protect, preserve and enhance the open space character of the City. Currently there are four properties that are identified as Open Space (Martin Meadows Preserve, Dalske Woodlands Preserve, Maple View Preserve and Northwood's Preserve). Note: For the purpose of this study, these four preserves are not included in the determination of the park dedication fee and are funded through the City General Fund and through grants. Scenic Parks. Within the existing park system, there are twelve parks totaling 61.55 acres, currently shown on Exhibit C (Andover Park Facilities Chart) and illustrated on Exhibit B (Andover Park Map) that will not likely be developed due to the fact that the land dedication consists primarily of wetlands, lakes, or steep slopes and there is insufficient upland area to develop an active park. These scenic park lands generally fills the classification of Mini and Neighborhood Parks. The specific parks and acreage are identified in Table 1.

The system is adequate to provide for lands within the projected MUSA boundary. The bulk of the land outside of the ultimate MUSA are planned to develop with 2.5-acre residential lots. The acreage lots provide land area for private recreation purposes that is larger than that typically dedicated for mini parks (1 acres or less). As such, the City may choose to add additional property to some of the mini park areas or look to acquire neighborhood parks in the future. Table 2 and Exhibit A (Park Service Area Map) illustrates that as the City grows within the 2040 MUSA, the current neighborhood parks system provide sufficient acreage and distribution to accomplish the Comprehensive Plan recommendations. Additional community parks or community playfields must yet be acquired and developed. ANDOVER PARK ACREAGE COMPARISON WITH NATIONAL STANDARDS The existing park system was further analyzed in terms of the service area per 1,000 population guidelines established by the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA). The 2019 2846 Metropolitan Council's population figure of 32,882 32,336 was used to evaluate the park system acreage. The following Table 3 indicates there are sufficient mini parks, neighborhood parks and community playfield areas. The city is RENGINEERING/PARKS2021 PARKSTUDY.doc short of community parks. It should be noted that even though Table 3 is deficient in community parks, Bunker Hills Park located in the southeast corner does make up for some of the acreage to satisfy NRPA suggested acres. It also should be noted that the park acreages listed in the "Existing Park Acres" column in Table 3 represent the number of acres of park owned by the City and net park acres that will or do have facilities. However, even when the existing scenic acres are deleted, the existing park system for mini parks, neighborhood parks and community playfields meet or exceeds the park acres suggested by the National Recreation and Park Association Guidelines.

S. Communities still determined there needs for various types of parks as indicated in the Table 3, NRPA has determined Agency Performance Standards should have an average 1 park for every 2281 residents. Park acreage is recommended to be 10 acres per 1000 residents. Based on this NRPA standard, Andover should at least 14 parks with at least a total of 329 acres based on Metropolitan Council's current estimate of 32,882. 3 National Recreation and Park Association Guidelines (Based upon 2019 2046 Metropolitan Council's estimate of 32,882 32,336). COMMUNITY GROWTH The City's existing and future population and household growth will be compared to City park system value estimates to provide a proportionate park dedication fee. The Andover 2040 Comprehensive Plan forecasts a 2040 population of approximately 39,800 41,900 people in 13,500 46,400 households. This anticipated future development is in both the 2040 MUSA and the City's rural residential areas. Andover's 2019 2046 Metropolitan Council's household count of 10,605 49,391 represent approximately 78% 6704 of the City's 2040 population forecast. As a requirement of Metropolitan Council approval of Andover's 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the City will be evaluating a Rural Reserve Area Study that identified a Rural Reserve Area for potential future urban growth beyond the current 2040 MUSA. For the purpose of the Park Dedication Study, the Rural Reserve Area is not included here within and will stand on its own if and when the Rural Reserve Area is ready for development. H:ENGI NEERING/PARKS/2021 PARKSTUDY.doc E Table 4 illustrates the population and household estimates of the City based upon 2000 and the 2010 U.S. Census data along with the 2019 2016 Metropolitan Council's estimate and 2040 Metropolitan Council's estimate for population and household projections cited in the Comprehensive Plan. The projections for the Rural Reserve Area population and households will be determined at a later date.

The City will have a 2040 population of 39,800 41,900 people and a 2040 household count of 13,500 45,400 according to the City's Comprehensive Plan. RESIDENTIAL PARK DEDICATION ANALYSIS Exhibit C (Andover - Park Facilities Chart) identifies the park sites pursuant to the City Parks Map. The name and address of each park including existing and future acres, facilities and values are also identified. City Staff provided the list of facilities and corresponding cost estimates. The park system analysis included a land use review to determine the service areas for the existing parks and to identify the proportion of existing and future development that will impact the system. As stated earlier, the current park areas are spread throughout the community and are relatively evenly distributed. Many of the existing parks are located in areas of the community where future development will occur and as such, a proportion of the park infrastructure should be paid for by new development. In fully developed areas in the southern part of the City, improvements to existing parks should be and have been paid for by current development within the service area of the specific park facility. City Staff provided a list of existing and future planned park facilities, which was used to establish the value of the existing park system and to identify costs reasonably expected to complete the future park system based upon full build out contemplated by the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. It should be noted that the information contained herein is the best estimate of future facilities that can be made at this time and that the specific facilities and dollar figures may be subiect to chanoe/revision as time goes by and market conditions fluctuate. See Exhibit D (City of Andover 2020 2018 Existing, Future Park Facilities and Replacement Items Chart) for reference. Based on the estimated value of the complete 2040 park system, Table 6 illustrates that the park system is 70% 66% developed and has been paid for by existing development through taxes, park dedication donations, grants etc. Future development will benefit from the infrastructure H: ENGINEERING/PARKS/2021 PARKSTUDY.doc that is currently in place and as such, should also be responsible to pay a proportionate share for replacement of the existing system through general taxes, donations_, grants, etc. A major component of the park system is land and to determine present land values for Andover. Recent sales indicated that the average value for land within the MUSA approximates 7$ 0,000 $69,090 per acre and average land value in the rural service area approximates 1$ 3,000 $14,600 per acre. The Anoka County Assessor's database was utilized to establish the land value for park areas that contain a large percentage of wetland or lakes (generally the 61.55 acres of parkland that staff believes will not be developed due to topographic or other constraints). Based on the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) Guidelines, the 2040 park system is sufficient in mini parks and community playfields _ 94 aorpy of Gnmmwimty Playfield be available by 204 as illustrated in Table 2. It should also be noted based on the NRPA recommendations the City should consider adding 10 acres of Neighborhood Park. As far as the 94 4" acres of Community Park to fulfill the NRPA recommendations it should also be noted that even though Table 3 is deficient in community parks. Bunker Hills Park located in the southeast corner does make up for some of the acreage to satisfy NRPA suggested acres (see page 8). As neted eaN*eF an the study, (see definition eR Page 5) these typee Table 6 illustrates the value of the planned park system based upon the current Comprehensive Plan which includes the additional Community Playfield (similar to the Sunshine Park). To calculate the values of the existing and future system, staff utilized the City of Andover Directory of Parks, City Capital Improvements Plan, and research of facility vendors as well as comparable improvements within the City. A list of the future facility acquisitions and values is attached as Exhibit D (City of Andover 2020 2M Existing, Future Park Facilities and Replacement Items Chart). TABLE 6 PARK SYSTEM ESTIMATED VALUE BASED ON EXHIBIT D NOT INCLUDING THE RURAL RESERVE AREA Total Park System Estimated Value of % of Estimated Value of % of Total Value (including Existing Park Facilities Total Future Park Facilities Park land values and (including land values Park (including land values and System to 30% and 30% Design/Admin System 30% Design/Admin Fees) be Design/Admin Fees) Developed Fees $54,995,874 $38,422,815 70% $16,573,059 30% coo o�85 $32,647,649 6"0 $16,625,336 34% Park dedication is collected as conditions of subdivision approval. In this respect, the park land dedication fee is estimated on the basis of new housing units or households. Currently, the City has completed approximately 70% 66% of its 2040 park system based on estimated value and future improvements. The actual household count from the 2019 2016 Metropolitan Council's estimate and the future 2040 household count is RENGINEERINGRARKS12021 PARKSTUDY.doc 10 approximately 78% 674 developed (not including the Rural Reserve Area). This indicates that the current park system is behind sn Gale in facilities for its current population. Future household growth should pay an equitable share in providing the City's ultimate park system (not including the Rural Reserve Area). To determine the equitable distribution of future park system value to residential units, the ultimate system value is divided by projected household counts. Table 7 represents park dedication fees based on the build out of the 2040 Andover park system. TART C 7 ESTIMATED PARK VALUE AND DEDICATION FEE W/ 1 ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY BALLFIELD COMPLEXES Estimated Value of # Housing Units yet Park Dedication Fee Future Park Facilities to be built Per Unit 2040 $16,573,059 - 2895 = $5725 $16,626,336 69W $3319 rwce: lilt: current du1-u Awns parK aealcatlon tee per the Uty of Andover's 2020 2048 fee schedule is 3475 $3180 per unit Exhibit E provides a comparison of park land fees from other metropolitan communities. The suggested fee in Table 7 is comparable when compared with neighboring communities like Blaine. However, the fees are lower than some of the larger, fast- growing communities such as Brooklyn Park, Eden Prairie, and Plymouth. The current system and future planned improvements are consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Plan. It is fair to assume that the park system will likely continue to be upgraded in the future to maintain the user capacity of the system. The 5725 $3319 per unit charge should reasonably cover the costs for complete development of the system and carrying costs through system build out (not including the Rural Reserve Area). The charge of 5725 $3349 per residential unit is the level of funding that will need to be generated to provide for the planned park system for Andover, based upon implementation of the plan with the lands and facilities described in Exhibit D (City of Andover 2020 29-1-8 Existing, Future Park Facilities and Replacement Items Chart) which are based upon the Comprehensive Park Plan. The 5725 $3319 figure takes into account the park service areas (% of park need associated with new vs. existing development), existing and projected costs for the park system, design/administrative costs and future population/household projections and is therefore our best estimate of park need per unit. It is important to note that the City should continue re-evaluating the system value; current land values and system needs on a periodic basis and adjust the park dedication accordingly. City Staff suggests that park facilities costs be reviewed and updated annually based upon the Engineering News Record Cost Index. Park maintenance/replacement items and future improvements above and beyond those identified in Exhibit D should not be financed using park dedication funds. The operational and future replacement costs must be budgeted within the City's general funds with costs shared by all community residents. H:ENGINEERINGlPARKS12021 PARKSTUDY.doc 11 COMMERCIAUINDUSTRIAL PARK DEDICATION ANALYSIS Minnesota Statutes and recent case law have identified that Cities must now be able to articulate and justify dedication requirements on a project -by -project basis. Cities have the burden of determining that the park dedication requirement is related to the park benefit that will be derived due to the development. Individualized determinations must be made for each project and the City has the responsibility to demonstrate that there is a reasonable relationship between the dedication requirement and the park needs generated by the development. As illustrated in Exhibit E, many metropolitan communities have a commercial/ industrial park land dedication. The general issue in establishing a commercial/ industrial park land fee is establishing a nexus between commercial and industrial use and the benefit they receive through the City's park system. In the case of Andover, City staff has indicated that the City has no commercial or industrial league programs, with the exception of a couple of local bar/restaurant sponsored tournaments that have occurred in the past. In this respect there is no empirical data that currently illustrates a direct park benefit to the commercial and industrial properties that exists or does not exist. There are discussions that suggest that there is intrinsic benefit to all land uses from a quality park system related to quality of life within a community. The issue at hand is to determine the proportionate need that commercial/industrial developments generate for the community park system. As City Staff have indicated that there is some tournament play use of athletic fields in the past, it is reasonable to state that commercialfindustrial developments have some benefit from the City park system. It is likely that employees of local businesses use parks for lunch breaks, walking and/or recreating. The question is does the commercial development generate the same need on the park system as an equivalent residential development? The proportionate benefit is unknown for the City of Andover, due to the lack of information about the degree to which the commercial/industrial developments use the system. If the City desires to continue collection of commercial/industrial park dedication fees it is suggested to continue collecting a fee structure that approximates charges of other similarly situated communities. Table 8 illustrates commercial park dedication fees which are currently charged by other developing communities. TABLES COMMUNITY $ PER C/1 ACRE (BASED ON 2020 5046) Blaine $8704 flat fee Brooklyn Park $8000 flat fee Coon Rapids $5000 flat fee for Commercial/$4000 for Industrial Eden Prairie $11,500 flat fee Maple Grove $11,000 flat fee Plymouth $8000 flat fee Shakopee $"W $9500 flat fee Woodbury $6000 flat fee Andover $8949 $10,424 or 10% of Market Value of Land (whichever is less H:ENGINEERING/PARKS/2021 PARKSTUDY.doc 12 The commercial/industrial park dedication fees should follow a calculation equated to residential development on the same property (if followed would increase the current fee of $10,424 $9534 to $17,175 $9957 (3 residential unit's X 5725 $3319) per acre or 10% of market value of the land (whichever is less). SUMMARY • Case law and Minnesota Statutes provide that dedication requirements can only be applied to facilities that will be impacted by the specific project. Future park dedication fees cannot be utilized to maintain existing park and trail systems in fully developed neighborhoods unless a correlation can be made between the new development and park use. However, park dedication fees cannot be used to replace equipment within City parks. The current park system is now following behind OR SGhedale in facilities for its current population. In the event that the City extends the MUSA pursuant to the Rural Reserve Area on Exhibit A (Park Service Area Map), additional facilities and land will be needed to accommodate the projected future population. For the purpose of this study, the Rural Reserve Area is not included in the determination of the parts dedication fee and will stand on its own if and when the Rural Reserve Area is ready for development. • A minimum of at least one additional Neighborhood Park (GeMpaFable to the GUFFS SuF;shiae Pafk) is recommended for the 13,500 15,489 households projected for 2040 (not including the Rural Reserve Area) to be located somewhere in Section 13, 23 and/or 24, Township 32, Range 24. • The total planned park system is estimated to cost $54,995,874 $49,2a-2,955 based upon the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, land values, current and projected facility costs. • While the Metropolitan Council's estimated household count represents 78d/o 67-% of its 2040 build out, the City has about 70% 6"0 of its 2040 park system in place. The park system that is in place has been paid for by existing development through taxes, park dedication, donations, grants, etc. • As illustrated in Table 7 the City's residential park dedication fees will depend on the City Council's decision on future park improvements and community growth options. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. The current park system and plan is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Plan and as such, the park dedication fee structure for new residential developments should be based upon the analysis provided for in Table 7. Based upon this analysis, a park dedication fee of approximately 5725 $3319 per residential unit and $17,175 $0957 per acre or 10% of market value of the land (whichever is less) for commercial/industrial developments should be instituted to cover build out cost of the City's planned park system and to develop one additional H:ENGINEERING/PARKS/2021 PARKSTUDY.doc 13 neighborhood park (location to be in the area of Sections 13, 23 and/or 24, Township 32, Range 24). A periodic review of land values and facility costs should be done every 5 years (next updated study would be done in 2025 2M once the U.S. Census has been completed or as directed by the City Council) to ensure that the park dedication fee remains current based upon market conditions. Staff recommends that the Engineering News Record Cost Index (ENR Cost Index) be utilized in other years as the source to annually update facility values to account for inflationary factors. 2. The City should continue incorporating park redevelopment infrastructure planning as part of the 5-year Capital Improvements Plan. Minnesota Statutes specify that park dedication fees may not be used for maintenance purposes and therefore it is important for the City to continue to provide a separate budget fund for maintenance. However, any park improvements above those identified in Exhibit D will need to be financed outside of the park dedication funds. As the park system ages, there will be an increased need to retrofit existing facilities, as they will have aged beyond their useful life in the older parks. The City will need to continue to pay for replacement of the park system facilities in full developed neighborhoods or park service areas through the general fund or other sources that are available. 3. In the event that the City is contemplating park or facility improvement upgrades in the future that have not been identified in Exhibit D, the City should include these improvements in the Capital Improvement Plan and budget for such improvements out of park dedication fees or other sources that are available. 4. In the event that the City is contemplating park replacements in Exhibit D, the City Council shall approve such replacements and budget for such replacements out of the City's general fund or other sources that are available.

Haas, Asst. Public Works Director -ra*' SUBJECT: 8. Review Outstanding Items/Maintenance Update DATE: November 19, 2020 Issues list as of 11/13/20 UPDATE OFANDOVER COMMUNITY CENTER ADVISORYBOARD — Commissioner Strombeck will provide an update at the meeting. COMPLETED PROJECTS — ON -GOING PROJECTS - • Update of Park Dedication Improvement Fund Quarterly Report — Item is on the agenda in January. • Update of Ouarterly Sheriffs Department Report on Park Patrol & Vandalism — Item is on the agenda in January. • Prairie Knoll Park North Parking Lot Improvements — The plans and specs for the parking lot will be prepared over the winter months. The construction of the parking lot is scheduled in 2021. As far as lighting of the north parking lot, input from the neighbors has been provided to the City Council and it has been approved to install 5 Traditionaire Security Lights as per the original plan. The lights will be installed as part of the construction of the parking lot. • Update of the 2021 Park Dedication Study — Item is on the agenda. • Sunshine Park Playground Equipment Replacement — The playground equipment has been selected by the Park and Recreation Commission. Staff will order the equipment with the Hawkridge and Woodland Meadows Park playground equipment replacement projects so all the equipment can be delivered at the same time which should provide some savings on freight costs. • Hawkridge Park Plavground Equipment Replacement — The public informational meeting with the neighborhood has been scheduled for the December 3, 2020.

The survey results from the neighborhood will be discussed. • Bike Youth/Trail — The City Council has reviewed and approved the recommendation from the Park and Recreation Commission to move forward with constructing a trail through the wooded area at the south end of Sunshine Park near Well Pumphouse #6. Location of the trail has been identified and tree and brush removal will begin over the winter months. Signage identifying the rules/guidelines and direction of travel will be made over the winter with installation to be done sometime in the spring. To keep the bikers from crossing and damaging the maintained lawn areas by the Well Pumphouse #6, a fence may need to be installed. Staff will be looking at where the trail entrance should be located which most likely will be located on the east side of the wooded area by the existing paved trail and parking lot area. Pickleball Update — The City Council has approved to move forward with hiring a consultant in 2021 to prepare a study to look at costs and identify options for the location of the courts and how many courts should be built along with other amenities that could be considered (parking lot and access, benches, shelter, etc.). The cost of the study will be funded from the Park Improvement Fund. The City Council is not requiring the pickleball community to help fund the study. ON -HOLD PROJECTS — None at the time.
