PRELIMINARYPLA TREVIEW ANDOVER SENIOR CAMPUS
Parks & Streets Operations Manager Jason Baumunk reviewed the Andover Senior
Campus is a proposed mixed -use development consisting of 1.5 acres of commercial
property, two brownstone buildings with a total of 32 units, 9 slab on grade single living
cottages, and 176 units in a single multi -story building consisting of independent living,
assisted living and memory care. All residential units for the project will be limited to
seniors that are 55 years or older. The project is proposed by J.A. Wedum Foundation and
SilverCrest Properties, LLC and would be located on the southeast corner of Hanson Blvd
NW and Crosstown Blvd NW.
All residents of the development would have access to several private recreational
amenities including indoor pickle ball courts, bistro, salon, club room, multi -purpose room,
golf simulator, crafts room, wellness center, warm water swimming pool, group fitness,
fitness equipment room and therapy spaces. During the previous review of a sketch plan
for this development, the pickleball courts were originally shown as being outside and
potentially accessible to the public. As the review has continued, the pickleball courts are
located inside the facility and are intended to be used primarily by the development's
residents.
The Park Dedication Study does not recommend any additional parkland dedication in this
area. The site is located close to several parks and other recreational amenities including
Sunshine Park, Purple Park, the City Hall Ice Rink Complex and the Andover YMCA
Community Center. The development would also be linked to these facilities through a
new trail on Crosstown Blvd NW and an existing trail on Hanson Blvd NW.
Mr. Baumunk requested the Parks and Recreation Commission review the proposed
development and make a recommendation to the City Council on the park dedication
requirements. Included for Commission review is the proposed PUD Development Plan
and the proposed Preliminary Plat.
Motion by Commissioner Stenzel, seconded by Commissioner Shafto, to recommend the
City Council accept cash in lieu of land for park dedication for the Andover Senior Campus.
Motion carried on a 5-ayes, 0-nays, and 0-absent vote.
DISCUSS PINE HILLS NORTH SHELTER
Parks & Streets Operations Manager Jason Baumunk reviewed the Parks and Recreation
Commission is requested to discuss the updated cost estimates for the proposed shelter at
Pine Hills North Park. The current sketch plan shows a 30' x 26' covered shelter area, two
bathrooms, an area labeled Concession that would be used for food preparation and service
for those reserving the shelter, and space behind the bathrooms for utilities such as
irrigation controls, plumbing and IT equipment.
Regular Andover Park & Recreation Commission Meeting
Minutes — March 21, 2024
Page 3
Staff is expecting cost estimates back for septic and power shortly. The following are the
estimates received:
• $125,967 — Cedar Forest Products Parkaire Building — Steel Room, VCP China
Plumbing Package, Electrical Package and Stamped & Certified Architectural
Drawings.
• $179,523 — Installation including Construction of Building Foundation and Stone
Veneer.
• $7,552 — Comcast Cable Installation.
• $15,225 — 4" shallow well.
• $5,000 — Electric Connection — ESTIMATED, waiting on final design and cost.
• $50,000 — Contingency.
• $383,267 —Current Cost Estimate excluding Septic.
Mr. Baumunk noted the 2024 Capital Improvement Plan has $425,000 identified for this
project from Park Dedication Funds.
The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to discuss the updated proposal for the
Pine Hills North multipurpose building and give staff direction on how to proceed. A verbal
estimate for the septic was received for $20,000 but a written bid has not been received.
Commissioner Stenzel asked if there was a warranty and Mr. Baumunk stated there is for
craftsmanship and materials.
Commissioner Naughton referred to the original estimate for a 30 x 40 building and the
pricing was the same. The size of the structure went down but the price did not. Mr.
Baumunk stated the open shelter area is 30 x 26. The building has not changed in size since
the February Meeting. The storage area was removed from the bid. 30 x 40 is the overall
footprint of the building. Mr. Baumunk displayed the drawing for the Commission.
Commissioner Stenzel asked about picnic tables. Mr. Baumunk stated there is a supply of
standard wooden picnic tables in the shop so there would be no added cost.
Motion by Commissioner Stenzel, seconded by Chair Strombeck to recommend the City
Council approve going ahead with the Pine Hills North Shelter. Motion carried on a 5-
ayes, 0-nays, and 0-absent vote.
OUTSTANDING ITEMS
1. On -going Projects: Mr. Baumunk reviewed Parks and Streets staff have been very
active removing diseased and dead trees in various parks and along trails, mainly
Ash Trees. Emerald Ash Borer has taken a heavy toll on many of the Ash trees in
the area. Trees are treated as deemed beneficial, but treatment does not always lead
to saving the trees from dying. Approximately 200 trees have been removed from
the parks.
2. Updates on 2024 Park CIP Projects:
Regular Andover Park & Recreation Commission Meeting
Minutes — March 21, 2024

New Trail Segment Along Crosstown — The new proposed trail segment along
the south side of Crosstown Boulevard from Bluebird Street to Xeon Street is
currently in the design phase.

currently being put together.
Hills of Bunker Lake West Parking Lot Paving — Design for this project is
complete and bids will be received on March 27. This project is being done in

DISCUSS — PARK DESIGN FOR FIELDS OF WINSLOW COVE EAST PARK
Parks & Streets Operations Manager Baumunk explained the Park and Recreation
Commission is requested to discuss the design for the new park scheduled to be
installed in 2025 at the Fields of Winslow Cove East Park.
Mr. Baumunk explained a parcel of park land located in the Fields of Winslow Cove
development is identified in the Capital Improvement Plan to be completed in 2025. This
park land is 0.9 acres in size and would be classified as a neighborhood park. Average
playground size for a medium neighborhood park is 2500-3500 square feet. He asked the
Commission to discuss the following items for this park:
• Playground - Layout and location in the park
• Irrigation - Estimated at $20,000 from similar projects
• Sod or planted grass
• Benches, picnic tables, or shelter
• Park Sign
• Other options
Mr. Baumunk noted the current CIP shows $150,000 identified for this project. Once
a design is completed, cost estimates will be obtained to complete the project and the
budget can be evaluated. The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to
discuss the design for the Fields of Winslow Cove East Park.
Andover Park & Recreation Commission Workshop Meeting
Minutes —April 4, 2024
Page 2
The Commission agreed that the playground, irrigation, and seeding should take place. It
was noted that benches should be included, and the question was asked as to whether trees
would also be planted. Mr. Baumunk confirmed that trees could also be included. The
Commission also agreed that this area would be too small to include a shelter.
Mr. Baumunk noted that he would like to complete the irrigation and seeding this year if
possible to establish for 2025.
The Commission recommended that park signs be installed at the time the playground is
installed and a suggestion was made to include wildflower/pollinator plantings.
Mr. Baumunk identified potential locations for benches and picnic tables and the
Commission agreed. The group also agreed on the potential location for the playground.
DISCUSS — DESIGN OF KELSEY ROUND LAKE PARK MASTER PLAN ITEMS
Parks & Streets Operations Manager Baumunk explained the Park and Recreation
Commission is requested to begin discussing the design of the master plan items at Kelsey
Round Lake Park. He noted the master plan identifies serval improvements to the Kelsey
Round Lake Park. The current CIP has $50,000 in 2025 for design and 2026 has master
plan additions including a building w/bathrooms, wayfinding, and interpretive signs - TBD
$180,000. The $50,000 in design can most likely be incorporated with the cost of a pre-
engineered building like the one scheduled for Pine Hills North Park.
Mr. Baumunk stated discussion for this project should include a design plan of where the
listed master plan items will be located and what these improvements will look like. Once
a plan is drafted, staff will get cost estimates for each item. With regard to budget impact,
he noted the 2025-2029 CIP has a total of $230,000 identified for master plan
improvements funded by the Park Dedication Fund. Staff will get updated cost estimates
once decisions on improvements are made.
Mr. Baumunk stated the Park and Recreation Commission is requested to begin
discussions on the design of the Kelsey Round Lake Park master plan improvements
The Commission had discussion related to signage and it was determined that the more
detailed interpretive signage information could be provided through a QR code link while
some brief information could be placed on the sign.
It was asked for details on how the building is operated. Mr. Baumunk replied that the
bathrooms lock and unlock on timers and an outside cleaning company is used for service.
Commissioner Stenzel expressed concern with having regular bathrooms in this location
as it is not a park with high traffic and could lead to unwanted activity.
Andover Park & Recreation Commission Workshop Meeting
Minutes — April 4, 2024
Page 3
The Commission discussed alternative bathroom ideas and agreed upon a pit style
bathroom with no running water such as you see at many county parks.
The consensus of the Commission was to focus on natural items and features as this is a
nature -based park setting. The Commission also agreed on location(s) for play area(s).
Mr. Baumunk stated that he would use the input received tonight to develop a more detailed
concept.
DISCUSS — 2025-2029 CIP PARK CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
Parks & Streets Operations Manager Baumunk explained the Park and Recreation
Commission is requested to continue discussing the 2025-2029 Park Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP). He noted the target date for draft CIP is Friday June 7th. The Commission
should review the future improvements in zones A-D and determine what projects should
be considered for the next 5 years. Below is what was previously identified in the CIP for
2025-2028.
Mr. Baumunk noted that depending on what the Commission recommendations for
projects, the Finance Department has indicated to staff that the ending fund balance for
each of the 5 years should have a minimum positive balance of $50,000 or more.
Improvements are funded by the Park Dedication Fund. The Park and Recreation
Commission is requested to continue discussions on the draft of the 2025-2029 Parks
Capital Improvement Plan.
Commissioner Stenzel stated that perhaps hockey should be consulted to determine if they
would be interested in contributing towards an outdoor sheet of ice. Mr. Baumunk
commented that he could make the ask, but noted that the outdoor ice time reserved by
hockey has decreased since they second sheet of ice was made available. It was noted that
the outdoor ice project as previously discussed would likely not be viable without a
contributor.
Mr. Baumunk confirmed that 2025 and 2026 seem to be solid with the plans, just need to
get updated budget numbers for some of the projects. They will do further review in the
future to consider the items for 2027 and beyond as there will be additional allocation of
funding from development that was recently approved by the City Council.
