PARKS AND OPEN SPACE COMP PLAN, GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
DISCUSSION
Chairperson Kieffer led the discussion regarding the five year plan. A
summary, based on the consensus of the board, is as follows:
1 ) pool
2) Deluca/Round lake Park established
3) trail system throughout, connecting to Bunker Hills
4) upgrade all existing parks to quality parks
5) lighting ball fields
Melanie Deluca expressed that the idea of a "central hub" development, which
the board has discussed previously, is excellent. A tennis court located at the
Andover City Hall complex and more soccer/baseball fields were projected as
future needs to serve the city. In regard to making bike paths under power
lines, Deluca Deluca contacting Councilmember Don Jacobson for inquiry.

Chairperson Kieffer focused on the priority of developing Kelsey/Round lake
Park. The board hopes to hire a professional developer for the layout of the
park this winter, start work next year and apply for a matching grant in 1992.
Because Kelsey was acquired with federal money, the MN Dept. of Trade and
Development (Marcia Tauber) will be closely monitoring the development. It
appears as if the grant can be used over a three year period.
Chairperson Kieffer spoke about the need for acquiring access from County
Road 22 to the park and meeting with Wayne Bachman, owner. The board
agreed that Chairperson Kieffer, Todd Haas and another board member would
make up a delegation to approach the owner about acquiring access to the
park and land around the pond, too. Commissioner Wood volunteered to be a
part of that delegation. It was decided to arrange a meeting in January with
the owner. Todd Haas was asked to consult with the City Administrator, Jim
Schrantz, to discuss options.
