INTRODUCTION
This item is in regard to discussing the status of the Park Comprehensive Plan, 06-46D.
DISCUSSION
There are three parts to the Park Comprehensive Plan as follows:
. The Park and Open Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. This is the portion of
the chapter that addresses the goals and policies of the parks and facilities. '
. The second portion is the Park Dedication Study, which is to provide insight
concerning the park dedication fee and the future park needs and dedication
standards. The park dedication fee is determined by the value of the Andover
ultimate park system and distribute the costs of developing this system equitably
to the existing and future households and land uses that benefit from the City's
park system.
. The third portion of the study is the proposed future facilities chart for all of the
City's existing and future parks. This chart does include one larger park facility
that was approved as part of the original park study that was done and accepted
by the City Council in 2002. The future cost of the improvements were used in
determining the park dedication fee.
A copy of the three portions of the plan is in your side pocket of your packet.
o
If the City Council is in agreement with the study, the park dedication fee will be
presented to the City Council as part of the 2008 fee schedule. Any questions
regarding any portions, feel free to contact me or Will Neumeister. '
Note: Attached is the 2007 Park Dedication survey that was done by Hoisington
Koegler Group Inc. for your review.

The City Council is requested to review and approve the three portions of the
Comprehensive Plan as recommended by the Park & Recreation Commission.

EXfI/ff 1/"'$::-11
In February 2007, Hoisington Koegler Group Ine. (HKGi) sent a survey on the use of park dedication to 110
Minnesota cities. A total of 56 cities returned surveys. This document summarizes the results of the 2007
Park Dedication Survey. .
The Survey is part of an ongoing effort by HKGi to understand the implications of statutory changes made in
2006 and to help cities define best practices for the use of park dedication. Later in 2007, we will be preparing
a set of recOmmendations for park dedication regulations and the relationship to park pl..nn;ng
Use of Park Dedication .
Of the 56 cities that returned surveys, four of them do not currently require park dedication. ,The tabulation
of results that follows relates to the 52 responding cities that use park dedication.
Noteverycityappliesparkdedication to non-residential
,development. Eight cities (15%) only require park
dedication for residential development.
Money from park dedication fees is used to both
acquire land and to imprOve parks. Over 80% (42
cities) use park dedication revenues to develop new
parks. Thirty-eight cities (73%) reported using funds
for the improvement of existing parks. Most cities
reported using revenues for multiple purposes. Only
four cities use park dedication monies for a single
purpose. The chart in FIgUre 1 shows the distribution
of survey responses.

Response to 2006 Legislation
Many cities have not responded to the 2006 changes
in the statute governing park dedication. Only 25% of the cities reported making amendments in its park
dedication ordinance in response to the 2006. statutory changes. Among the statutory changes made in
2006 were the requirements to base a park dedication ordinance on an adopted uplan'; requirements to give
Consideration to private uparksD that are open to the public, a determination of need for the dedicated land,
and limitations on collecting park dedication from the uresubdivision" of property.
Fee Adjustments
Cities have worked to keep fees current. Almost half had adjusted fees in 2006 or 2007. The chart in Figure
2 shows the year of the most recent fee adjustment, the number of responses and the percent of survey
responses.

C lIection of Park Dedication
The majority of cities (30 cities/58%) collect park
dedication in connection with the platting process.
Nine cities (17%) collect park dedication fees
through the building permit. Another nine cities
responded that fees collected both platting and
building permit.
Residential Property
The survey did not find a common approach for park dedication requirements. The responses suggest that
approaches are tailored around the unique conditions in each city. The surVey asked the city to select the
response that matched the current park dedication requirements for residential property. The potential
responses were:
The chart in Figure 3 summarizes the survey
responses. The total number of responses is more
than 52 because several surveys checked more than
one method.
Eleven cities reported using a land area/value ratio
other than 10%. Five of these cities use a ratio
between 5% and 8%. Two cities reported ratios
between 11% and 16%. The other four cities did not
indicate a specific ratio.
Some of the other reported methods of determining park dedication for residential property include:
. 1 acre for every 75 residents.
. 1/25th acre per unit.
. Per capita measure of city park system.
. Variable rate based on density.
o
Cities use a variety of criteria as the basis for setting
park dedication fees. The survey responses were:
.
Rate of inflation - 11
Increase in property values - 17
Correlation to other cities - 17
Relationship to CIP - 11
Other -10
.

The number of responses exceeds 52 because some
cities reported using more than one criteria.

DATE:

Q
INTRODUCTION
This item is in regard to continuing the discussion of the 2008-2012 Parks Capital
. Improvement Plan.
DISCUSSION
As you may recall from the joint meeting between the City Council and the Park
Commission, the proposed 2008-2012 Parks CIP was discussed and was requested by
the City Council that the Park Commission go back and re-evaluate the proposed
improvements proposed in the CIP. The Park Commission did re-evaluate the
proposed 2008-2012 Park CIP at their August 2nd meeting and after very little
discussion, recommended to move forward with the current proposed 2008-2012 Park
CIP, which are attached with this item.
Note: The skate park is still being recommended by the Park Commission to be
constructed in 2008 and located in the northeast comer of Sunshine Park, just north of
the small shelter in the flat area between the ball field fencing and the existing trail.
$100,000 isbeing recommended to construct the park.
Also attached is a projected fund balance sheet that was prepared by the Finance
Department for your review. City staff has made some minor adjustments to the fund
balance sheet due to some things that have come up over the past few weeks. Items
on the fund balance sheet that have been adjusted since the June 14th meeting are as
follows:
o
2008
Andover Station North Ball Field Facilitv - The previous fund balance sheet presented
to both groups indicated a budget of $35,000. But since the playground equipment
location was not determined in time to allow the ordering and installation in 2007, the
$65,000 is shown as a carryover into 2008. $95,000 is proposed to be used to
purchase playground equipment and the necessary fencing/netting to protect the users
o
of the playground equipment and remaining $5000 is to be used to purchase a new 5-
row bleacher.
2009
Andover Lions Park - As you know, Northem Natural Gas will be acquiring property
within the park from the City to install a new gas line through a portion of the park. The
acquisition proceeds that the City would receive are recommended to go back into the
park for improvements. It is recommended by City staff to fence the outfield. This park
improvement was previously identified in the plan for fencing improvements in 2012.
The plan for irrigating the park remains for the year 2012.
Prairie Knoll Park - The park was previously identified in the plan for improvements in
2010. Again, this is the same situation with Northern Natural Gas acquiring property
within the park from the City to install a new gas line through a portion of the park. The
acquisition proceeds the City would receive are recommended to go back into the park
for improvements of paving the parking lots located in the north and south ends of the
park.
o
2010
Hawkrid~e Park - The previous fund balance sheet presented to both groups at the
June 14 joint meeting indicated a budget of $500,000. With the interest from the Park
Commission of eliminating the ball field and adding additional 2-4 soccer fields some of
the improvement costs needed to be revised. Also, with the increased cost of oil and
with the expansion of the existing parking lot that is necessary to accommodate the
additional vehicles traffic generated with an addition of 2-4 new soccer fields it was
necessary to increase the cost to construct the expansion of the parking lots from
$90,000 to $135,000. Also, the playground equipment for ages 2-5 at this time has
been eliminated until such time funding is available. The previous amount on the fund
balance sheet was $500,000. The updated fund balance sheet is $520,000.
Keep in mind when the City Council and Park Commission are discussing the proposed
CIP that there are still a number of items that need discussion which are not included
above. Those items are as follows:
o
. There are some parks that still need playground equipment replaced or updated.
Those include Meadowood North, Oak Bluff, Timber Trails and the tot lot on
138th Avenue NW. Note: It was also mentioned by the Parks Department the
need for playground equipment for ages 5-12 and a swing set.
. Timber Trails, Pleasant Oaks, Hawkridge and Rose Parks still need access to
meet ADA requirements.
. There are a number of parks (mostly to help secure the playground equipment)
and parking lots (such as Sunshine Park) that need security lights.
. Irrigating of parks. As you know, a study is being prepared by SEH that is to be
completed sometime in October that will be addressing if wells or sand points
should be installed or not at all in some of the parks that have been requested to
be studied.
. Kelsey Round Lake Park - The dock that crosses the wetland at the north end of
the park within the next couple years should be replaced. The dock system is to
o
o
o
the point where it is beyond repair and the railing needs to be replaced or some
modification needs to be done.
BUDGET IMPACT
It appears that approximately $458,040.00 will be available for projects in 2008. Note:
The City Council may want to spread some of the funds out over the next few years if it
appears that there will be very little new development activity
ACTION REQUIRED
The City Council is requested to consider approving the proposed 2008-2012 Park CIP
as recommended by the Park Commission.

Description I
Due to the poor condition and current location of the skate board equipment, the City needs to reinvest in a new permanent home for the skate
board park with new skate equipment. The new location will be the northwest corner of Sunshine Park, just north of the existing small shelter
between the existing trail and ball fields.
Justification
I
The existing skate board equipment has weakened structurally over the past few years dueto the moving and set-up each spring and fall. The other
issue is the current location of the equipment at Constance Free Church is not easily accessible by the public (which is usually youth) to either
walk or ride bikes to the skate park. Locating the skate board park near the higher density areas and schools will attract many more users and will
be located in an area where it is safe to get to,

Priority I - High
Description I
With the ball fields completed in the fall of2006 and the building and the lighting of two ball fields completed in 2007, then the addition of
bleachers and playground equipment will complete the park,
2008 . $95,000 for playground equipment ($65,000 is carry over from 2007 CIP),
2008 . $5,000 for one (1) 5 row bleacher.
Note: Overflow parking would be shared with the adjacent businesses.
Justification
I
The five row bleacher is necessary to separate spectators from the building and the bleachers on the west and middle fields, which will allow more
room for individuals standing in line to purchase concessions. The existing 10 row bleachers will remain at the west and middle fields, but will be
relocated along the 1st or 3rd base lines. The playground equipment will allow families With children not playing baseball the opportunity to enjoy
another activity. The playground equipment was not installed in 2007 due to the location not being finalized by the City. The $65,000 of the
$95,000 that is budgeted is a carry over from 2007 along with another $30,000 that has been budgeted to construct the playground equipment.

Project Name Hawkridge Park Improvements
Description , I
The project includes reconstructing the existing park. The proposed reconstruction of the park (as recommended by the Park Commission) is to
include eliminating the existing ball field and regrade most of the park to allow for at least 2-4 new soccer fields in place of the existing ball field,
one additional hockey rink and additional parking stalls to accommodate for the additional soccer fields,
Storage buildingfrestrooms/concessions. $209,000; drill well with pump & controls - $100,000; septic system - $7,500; pave existing parking
lot - $135,000; irrigation for 4 fields - $50,000; bleachers with concrete pads (for the soccer fields) - $15,000; security light. $2,500; park
signage and landscaping - $1,000,
Justification I
By continuing to improve the park system in Andover, the City is providing high quality parks and recreation complex to meet the growing needs
of an active community, These improvements will provide high quality athletic and recreational opportunities to the residents. A new building
provides shelter, storage and a restroom facility that can be used year round. The well and irrigation provide for a high quality athletic surface for
soccer fields and water for the restroom. There will be other items such as playground equipment and a basketball court that provides activities for
younger children that will need to be considered by the City at some point in the future.
This proiect has been recommended bv the Park & Recreation Commission.

Operational Impact/Other I
The construction ofa warming house and restroom facility will increase the use and enjoyment of the park. Also, the construction of the
storage/warming house/restroom facility will eliminate the need to rent a portable warming house and portable bathroom. The well construction
will give the ability to flood the rinks from the on-site well and eliminate the need to "tanker" water to the site from the Public Works facility on
Crosstown Blvd. Routine maintenance will still be required for upkeep of the park.

SUBJECT: 4. Discuss Andover Station North Ball Field Facility/Status of
Playground Equipmentl07 -16
DATE:
September 20, 2007
o
INTRODUCTION
This item is in regard to the potential locations for the playground equipment at Andover
Station North.
DISCUSSION
The Park & Recreation Commission has been discussing options for the location of the
playground equipment based on direction from the City Council at the June 14th
meeting. One of the options discussed at the joint meeting was to contact Bruggeman
Properties about locating the playground equipment within the residential portion of the
Parkside at Andover Station (see attached letter dated August 1,2007 from Bruggeman
Properties). The Park Commission, has reviewed the site options that have been
presented by Bruggeman Properties. After review and discussion of those options by
the Commission, it was decided that the playground area remain at the ball field facility.
o
Note: Jim Dickinson, City Administrator and I have been to the site and it appears that
the only location that will work better (if the City Council agrees with having it at
the ball field) is along the 3rd base line west of the new building between the
parking lot and the field itself. Anywhere along the 3rd base line will work. The
further west the playground equipment is located the better. If it is
recommended to locate further west of the new building the playground
equipment will be closer to the residential area for them to use, but yet still
provide an opportunity for the other youth at the park to use the playground when
their siblings are playing or practicing at the ball fields.
Note: The area between the west and middle fields has been regraded and seeded to
allow the drainage to work better. With that happening, this location is not a
good choice.
o
o
o
ACTION REQUIRED
The City Council is requested to consider the location of the playground equipment
along the 3rd base line of the west field as recommended by the Park & Recreation
Commission.

Re: Parkside at Andover Station
Dear Jim,
PROPERTIES
----.---...--.----....-.
ities Since 1959
As you requested, Bruggeman Properties has reviewed our Parkside at Andover Station neighborhood for
possible locations of a City Park. We understand the park would consist primarily of playground
equipment currently planned for the adjacent ballfield area. Attached is an exhibit depicting two possible
locations for the park. The sites are further described as follows:
Site 1
This site is located adjacent to Jay Street on land owned by the homeowners association. Conveyance of
the land for park purposes will require the approval of the association.
Site 2
This site is located north of 13Stl1 Street on land owned by Bruggeman Properties. The park layout may
have to be re-configured to minimize impacts to proposed adjacent housing and existing trees within the
conservation easement 4 existing private parking spaces are adjacent to the site. It would be desirable to
convey these parking spaces with the land for the park.
Please contact me upon your review to discuss this issue in greater detail. Thank you.
Sincerely,
"
