DATE: June 7. 2007
INTRODUCTION
This item is a continuation from the last meeting in regard to the Park Chapter of the
Comprehensive Plan and the future park improvements the Park Commission may want
to consider.
DISCUSSION
In your side pocket of the packet is the existing and the proposed future park facilities
chart for your review. The parks that will need special attention when this is being
discussed with the City Council at the joint meeting are as follows:
. Hawkridge Park (#2) - This park is proposed to be redeveloped. The existing
ball field would be eliminated and converted into soccer fields. Also, a second
outdoor hockey rink would be added along with a new
warming/storage/concessions building similar to the building that was
constructed at Prairie Knoll Park with additional soccer fields. Additional parking
will be necessary.
. Kelsey Round Lake Park (#20) - This park is proposed to include an interpretive
center, restrooms and plaza area. In addition, other improvements include
playground equipment and irrigation around the new interpretive center.
. Sunshine Park (#23) -There is really not anyone costly improvement, but just a
bunch of future improvements the Commission would like to do.
. Rose Park (#39) - This is another park that is proposed to be redeveloped. The
existing ball field would be eliminated due to lack of space needed due to the
new hockey rinks, parking lot and free skating rink. As you recall from the last
meeting, a medium sized soccer field could be built at the south end of the park
(a copy of the layout was in your May 17th packet). If this park is agreed to be
redeveloped by the City Council, the hockey rink and free skating area at
Crooked Lake Elementary School would be eliminated.
Note: The list of proposed improvements does not include a future larger facility of
some sort, which has been approved by the City Council as part of the park
dedication study that was in 2002. The type of facility has not been determined.
The study is included in your information packet Section G. If you are not
familiar with this study, it is recommend to review this section so that each of the
Commissioners is aware of how the park dedication fees were calculated. as this
report will be discussed with the City Council at the joint meeting. I have
discussed this further with the Planning Department and it is their opinion that
this future larger facility should be City wide responsibility and not be the
responsibility of the future development of the rural reserve area. It is our
understanding from the City Planners that the development of the neighborhood
or community parks be financially responsible by the developers of rural reserve
areas.
If there are other parks that the Commission feels needs special attention by the City
Council, please let me know at the meeting so that staff can rewrite the agenda item to
include those parks for the joint meeting. Otherwise, please spend some time
reviewing the proposed improvements.
ACTION REQUIRED
No action is required unless the Commission has a change of heart on the development
of any of the parks.

INTRODUCTION
This item is a continuation to the Parks & Open Space Plan Chapter of the
Comprehensive Plan.
DISCUSSION
At the last meeting the Commission review recommended changes to the chapter that
were suggested by City staff. Since the last meeting Planning staff performed one
more detail review of the chapter and has suggested some additional revisions. Those
changes are underlined and bolded. These changes are intended to update the plan to
reflect changes to the park system since the plan was last adopted, to reference the
various plans and policies that are utilized in park planning, to remove duplicate
language, to include content required by the Metropolitan Council and to organize the
information to fit the structure of the overall Comprehensive Plan. Please review the
attached revised version one more time to ensure the Commission is on board with the
suggested revisions.
Note: This most current version will be presented to the City Council at their joint
meeting on June 14th for discussion. If you have any questions, feel free to
contact me or Courtney Bednarz, City Planner at (763) 767-5147.
ACTION REQUESTED
The Park & Recreation Commission is requested to review the revised version of the
Parks & Open Space Plan.

3. Reqional Trails
The two reQional trails that pass throuQh Andover are the Central Anoka
County ReQional Trail and the 7th Avenue ReQional Trail (FiQure C).
FundinQ for these trails is provided by city. county. state and federal
sources. FiQure D shows the location of these trails in the city. A county

West County Park in the City of Anoka and east into Linwood
Township. Presently there are two Qaps 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 proiect.

C. RECREATION FACiliTIES
Recreational 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 (Figure 8.10)
provides guidelines for such development. The city of Andover shall use these
standards as guidelines for the development of recreation facilities. has used
these Quidelines in the preparation of a Park Study. This document
evaluates the present park svstem and facilities and uses Qrowth
proiections from the Land Use Plan to determine the steps necessary to
complete the park system. The plan is amended periodically to document
chanQes to the park system and to adiust the park dedication rate.
Additionally. the city maintains a detailed list of park facilities includinQ
their type. aQe 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.
D. OPEN SPACE
Open Space is defined as areas set aside for the preservation of natural open
spaces to counteract the effects of urban congestion and monotony. Increasing
urbanization has led to a decline in open space areas of the city. Many new
citizens cite /\ndover's natural amenities as a reason for moving into the city. As
more people discover Andover these rosources become scarcer. An objective of
this plan is to preserve, protect and enhance the open sp3ce ch3racter of the
City for future gener3tions.
Page 5 of 14
@ City of Andover Comprehensive Plan - Chapter Eight
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
preserve wildlife habitat. The city has worked cooperative Iv with a variety
of resource protection orqanizations and qovernment aQencies to enhance
natural areas within the existinq park svstem and to protect floodplain and
wetlands in areas outside of the park svstem. In 2006. the voters approved
a bond referendum to provide a dedicated fundinq source for the
preservation of open space. . INSERT PROGRESS PRIOR TO FINAL

Commission. prepared a community wide natural resource inventory and
established policies to Quide this effort...

SUBJECT: 2. Discuss 2008-2012 Parks Capital Improvement Plan

INTRODUCTION
This item is in regard to begin discussing the 2008-2012 Parks Capital Improvement
Plan.
DISCUSSION
As you may recall from the last meeting, due to the absence of three Commissioners
the item was tabled until the June 7th meeting. Also, the Commission requested this
item be placed as a work session item. Attached is a projected fund balance sheet that
was prepared by the Finance Department for your use. The projects listed on the fund
balance sheet are from the 2007-2011 CIP, which will most likely be revised based on
the Commission's recommendation of projects for 2008. Remember to bring your
information packet with you to the meeting.
The projects recommended to be considered for 2008 are as follows:
· Woodland Crossinqs Park - $50,000 is needed for playground equipment
for both ages 2-5 and/or 5-12 year olds. As you may recall, this is a new
park that already has an existing new shelter and basketball court.
Other parks to consider for 2008:
· Hidden Creek East Park - As you may recall from last year during the
same time $10,000 was requested by the neighborhood to construct a
basketball court at the park. Kevin Starr from Public Works has indicated
that the court could be constructed in the free skating rink area. The
estimated cost to construct a half court basketball will be around $17,000.
Note: As always, $25,000 has been budgeted every year for miscellaneous items.
Some of the parks with playground equipment that need to be replaced or updated as
recommended by the Public Works Parks Department are as follows:
· Playground equipment at Meadowood North, Oak Bluff, Timber Trails and
t-1S-, 000..:, the tot lot park on 138th Avenue NW. Note: It was mentioned by Public
Works that Sunshine Park needs playground equipment for ages 5-12
year olds and a swing set.
o
Some of the parks that still need access to meet ADA requirements are as follows:
~ Timber Trails, Pleasant Oaks, Hawkridge & Rose_ iif'lD ~. '
1" ' ~"'()
Also there are a number of parks that need security lights. Public Works has also
expressed concern that some of the parks need to be updated to provide decent
parking by paving them.
BUDGET IMPACT
It appears that approximately $353,619.00 will be available for projects for 2008.
Note: The Park Commission may want some of the projects identified in 2008 to be
spread out 2009 or beyond. The projects that are identified in the year 2010
(Prairie Knoll and Hawkridge Parks) may need to be pushed out to beyond 2012.
The Finance Department has indicated to the Engineering Department that the
Ending Funding Balance should for each of the years have a minimum positive
balance of $50,000.00 or more. (I was able to discuss this with the Finance
Department and it was agreed that the end funding balance could be reduced to
this amount.) As you can see the years from 2010-2012 have a negative
balance.
ACTION REQUIRED
The Park & Recreation Commission is requested to begin discussing the 2008-2012
Parks Capital Improvement Plan.
Respectfully submitted,
