Discuss SW Wold Sketch Plan DATE: July 18, 2024 DISCUSSION SW Wold Construction, Inc. has submitted a Sketch Plan application for a proposed residential development located at the unaddressed property at PID 11-32-24-41-0003. The site is generally located north of 167th Ave NW, east of the BNSF railroad tracks, south of 170th LN N, and west of Ward Lake Dr NW and is approximately 33.7 acres in size. Through a Planned Unit Development (PUD), the applicant is proposing 21 single-family rural lots as shown on the attached Sketch Plan. No park is being proposed as part of the Sketch Plan. The Park Dedication Study does not identify any parkland dedication in this area of the City and would recommend cash -in -lieu of land for park dedication requirements. ACTION REQUESTED The Park & Recreation Commission is requested to review the proposed development and provide informal feedback to the applicant on park dedication requirements.

Andover, Minnesota 55304 RE: Project Narrative Request for Subdivision Sketch Plan Review of SW Wold Andover Low Impact Development. SW Wold is proposing a Low Impact Residential Development in the City of Andover. The project is located along Ward Lake Dr NW and 167th Ave NW. The Parcel is approximately 33.70 Acres in size and is current zoned R-1, Single Family Rural Residential. The property requires flexibility from the zoning standards to allow for a Low Impact Development (LID) to be developed. The Low Impact Design will allow for onsite trees and other natural features to be preserved. This design will incorporate natural and engineered stormwater treatment methods to treat and control stormwater onsite. This development will deviate from the R-1 zoning standards with the minimum lot dimensions, minimum lot area, and using a rural residential road section with a 60-foot right of way. The development will incorporate high -end design elements and a variety of lot sizes that creates a transition between R-4 zoning (west) and R-1 zoning (North, South, East). This project follows and ensures the establishment of appropriate transitions between differing land uses as intended in the zoning ordinance & Comprehensive Plan. The transition and variety of lot sizes also allows for the remaining developable vacant land within the city to be used in an efficient way. Andover has a finite amount of land that remains to be developed and a LID style of development allows for us to be stewards of the land. A LID will provide conservation of nature and sustainable development with the overall design to manage and protect the land in ways that benefit the environment and future generations. This development will ensure and maintain a development pattern. The flexibilities will create a more efficient design to allow the preservation of natural features of the property and ensure economic viability & general welfare of the City. The Purpose of Each District for R-1 Single Family Rural Residential: This district is intended to provide a residential atmosphere for those persons desiring to retain a large parcel of land. Such large lots are logical in areas where development into smaller lots would be difficult, or where public utilities will not be available in the foreseeable future. Furthermore, larger houses are more costly and require larger lots. Thus, to provide an area to accommodate those persons with the financial means to erect a large house, it is necessary to have an area of large lots. Land which is wooded, or which has a changing topography, and low land which tends to be poor agriculturally is also the most expensive to develop for residential sites and, after development, the sites tend to be expensive to maintain. Such areas are the most interesting and most susceptible to large lot development. The district also is intended to preserve productive land for agricultural use. (Amended Ord. 314, 10-4- 05) Page I 1 Maximum impervious surface area and stormwater management standards - o The total area of all impervious surfaces on a lot shall not exceed 15,000 square feet over the lot. o Development will minimize the extent of disturbed areas, runoff velocities, erosion potential, and reduce/delay runoff volumes, and stabilize and protect disturbed areas. The proposed SW Wold Andover Low Impact Development requests the following of the PUD to allow greater flexibility of design by incorporating design modifications and/or alternative uses into a conventional zoning district's requirement. It is our intension to meet all R1 front, side and rear setbacks. • Lot sizes ranging from 1.0 to 2.5 acres • Varying lot widths to accommodate road curves and cul-de-sacs • Use of rural residential road section • 60 foot right of way Preliminary soil borings show that standard septic systems can be installed with adequate separation to wells for each lot. Summary: We believe this is a very conservative transition from 3 lots per acre in the R4 district to the West to 2 % acre lots to East of our plat. We have eliminated most of the tree removal on this site and have added many tree planting as buffers to existing roads and railroad tracks.

Discuss Andover Football Association Multipurpose Building DATE: July 18, 2024 INTRODUCTION The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to discuss the proposal from the Andover Football Association (AFA) representatives for a multipurpose building located at Prairie Knoll Park. DISCUSSION At the April 181h Park and Recreation Commission meeting, members from AFA presented a concept plan for a multipurpose building located on the small north field at Prairie Knoll Park. At that meeting, the Commission was in favor of AFA pursuing the concept further including details such as project cost, city funding involvement, operations, maintenance and logistics of operating the building. This facility would not only be used as a football complex, but as a multi- use building available to other users. Although this building is being funded and pursued by AFA, being located in a City park, it must be city owned and available by other users. If the City is receptive to the proposal and for this project to move forward, staff has a list below of initial concerns that must be discussed and addressed. • Ownership arrangement on how the building must be owned by the City but possibly run by AFA through a lease agreement. The City Council and Park and Recreation Commission need to provide guidance on this arrangement. • The building would need to meet all State and Local building codes. With it being located in a R-1: Single Family Rural zoning district, this could provide challenges and increase the estimated cost of the project to meet code requirements. • Occupancy must be determined to then determine parking lot, fire suppression, and ADA requirements including possible needing to expand the parking lot to accommodate occupancy. • The building must meet all State Fire Code requirements that would also require fire suppression. It must be determined if this can be supported by a well or if it must be connected to the City water main that is scheduled to be installed along Prairie Rd. • Funding for the project. Will there be a request for the City for partially fund the completion of this project if project costs rise out of the anticipated budget set by AFA? Operation and Maintenance costs. What are the anticipated operation and maintenance costs and who is responsible for long-term replacement costs of items such as structural and mechanical. ACTION REQUIRED The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to discuss the proposed multipurpose building with the representatives from AFA and give them and staff direction on how to proceed.

Discuss 2024 Movie in the Park DATE: July 18, 2024 INTRODUCTION The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to discuss the 2024 Movie in the Park date and select movie to be shown. DISCUSSION The Park & Recreation Commission is requested to discuss when they would like to do movie in the park in 2024, and which movie. At the June 6th meeting, Friday August 2nd or 9th was discussed for the date along with possibly partnering with the Andover Lions Club. • June 71h — Champlin • June 81h — Ramsey • July 26th — Ramsey • August 2°d or 91h - Andover • August 30th — Ramsey • September 6th — Champlin With the timeframe left before the 2024 event, it is staff s suggestion to start conversations with the Andover Lions Club about possibly partnering with this event for the 2025 movie in the park. BUDGET IMPACT City Council has identified $10,000 in funding for programming opportunities in the Parks each year. This event is estimated at $1,500 depending on the movie selection. ACTION REQUIRED The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to discuss the Movie in the Park event and determine date and movie selection.

Outstanding Items DATE: July 18, 2024 Current items as of 07/08/24 ON -GOING PROJECTS — • The contractor finished the resurfacing of the tennis/pickleball courts at Northwoods West Park. The project turned out great and is open to the public. We will likely need to replace the courts next time instead of resurfacing. They were able to build up the low spots as far as possible, but it still holds a little water. UPDATES ON 2024 PARK CIP PROJECTS • Pine Hills Multipurpose Building — The contract for the building has been signed and the building ordered. We are still expecting work to start this fall. Staff will give an update on the timeframe as soon as we get any new updates. • New Trail Segment Along Crosstown — The new trail segment project along the south side of Crosstown Boulevard from Bluebird St. to Xeon St. has been awarded to North Valley Inc. The pre -construction meeting was held this week and work is tentatively scheduled to start mid -July and be completed mid -August. • New Trail Segment Alone 7t1 Ave — This trail is being constructed with the 2024 Street Reconstruction project. The trail is paved but will not open until the street reconstruction project is completed. • Irrigation Improvements — Irrigation improvements in Sophie's South and Hickory Meadows Parks were planned for spring of 2024. Work has been completed on the addition at Sophie's South Park. Work on establishing better turf grass will begin now the irrigation is complete. Hickory Meadows installation will be done in-house by Parks Staff as time permits. • Hills of Bunker Lake West Parking Lot Paving —This project is being done in conjunction with the Full Depth Reclamation roadway project taking place in the surrounding neighborhood. Work has started with the curbs and catch basins. The base later of asphalt will be paved in the next few weeks. The remaining work will be completed with the street project. The baseball field there will remain closed during construction. • GameTime Playground Grant — The grant was awarded, and the three playgrounds are completed. The grant will be applied for again as soon we are eligible to apply. OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST • New Trail Segment Along Coon Creek — The easement has been secured and a DNR Local Trail Connection Grant was approved in the amount of $250,000. The grant funds must be used by June of 2026. Staff will begin design work after Council approval. 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 Jason Baumunk or Dave Berkowitz. 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.

AALA Field Maintenance Discussion DATE: July 18, 2024 INTRODUCTION Andover Area Lacrosse Association (AALA) has requested to discuss the possibility of the Parks Maintenance Staff providing increased field maintenance, specifically painting of the lacrosse field lines. DISCUSSION I was approached by AALA inquiring about the possibility of the association paying the City to do the field layouts and paint the lines on the six lacrosse fields. Based off estimates on how much time an average layout takes, number of fields, and weekly maintenance to repaint lines, it was estimated that it would add roughly 200 hours of staff time annually to paint and maintain the 6 lacrosse fields. Staff would need to purchase field painting equipment and maintain that equipment. The average cost of ownership of this type of equipment is $1,500/yr. based on a ten-year replacement cycle. Using estimates from Beacon Athletics, it would require an estimated 400 gallons of field marking paint per season for six fields over a 22-week season. Estimated cost for paint is $2,640 per season. The concern staff has is this would require one of the full-time staff members to perform this task. The lacrosse season is outside the timeframe of our seasonal staff and is considered outside the realm of what tasks we allow our seasonal staff to perform. To accomplish this would require the addition of an additional full-time staff member due to the current responsibilities the full- time Park Maintenance Staff is already committed to. The added staff member would need to be approved by City Council and budgeted for the remaining 1880 hours per year outside of the 200 hours of AALA paid field maintenance time. Currently, City Staff only mow, maintain irrigation, fertilize, weed control, and maintain the ag- lime infields of the baseball/softball fields. Painting of the fields and chalking of the base lines are taken care of by the associations. BUDGET IMPACT Staff feels they could only accomplish these additional tasks with an additional full time Park Maintenance Staff. Some of the hours could be covered by fees charged to AALA for the requested maintenance. The remaining annual hours and benefits would need to be budgeted for by the City Council. ACTION REQUIRED The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to discuss the field maintenance request with the Andover Area Lacrosse Association representatives.
