Motion carried on a 5 yes, 1 present (McMullen) vote. Resident Forum Frank Stone reported that Mr. Parks, a resident in Woodland Terrace, asked if something could be dcne about the people going through his yard to get to the park, suggesting a fence on the back of his property. Several different solutions to the problem were discussed, such as a sign or possibly a fence. It was noted that the city really has no control over the situation and perhaps Mr. Parks should take measures to take care of the problem. Mr. Stone felt a temporary snow fence might solve the problem. MOTION by Strootman, seconded by Ferris that we try to help Mr. Parks with the problem by putting a snow fence up for 100 feet for a period of 2 months. Motion carried unanimously. Softball and Soccer Schedule MOTION by Kinkade, seconded by Strootman to table this item to the next meeting. Motion carried unanimously. Oak Bluff Park Layout Commissioner Anderson noted that one of the residents in the Oak Bluff area, Eugene Benson, hBs asked that the park~ng lot be moved. Because a blind spot would occur if the parking lot were moved, some type of screening was suggested. Frank Stone noted that he can buy 15 foot trees for $135.00 each. Mr. stone suggested that the Park Board members go to the site before they make a decision. o MOTION by Kieffer, seconded by Kinkade to table this item to the next meeting and that the Park Board members meet at Oak Bluff Park at 7:15 P.M ~~ Regular Park & Recreation Meeting April 7, 1988 - Minutes Page 2 / o on April 21, 1988. Motion carried unanimously. Brandon's Lakeview Estates Preliminary Plat Park Dedication Commissioner Kinkade complained that the Assistant Engineer is doing the calculations on the park dedications and the Park Board never sees the developer, noting that he does not know if the developer agrees with the recommendation of Mr. Haas. It was the concensus of the Commission that they would like to see the developers before a decision is made. MOTION by Kieffer, seconded by Strootman to accept Todd Haas's recommendation in taking cash in lieu of land in the amount of $1,570 for Brandon's Lake- view Estates. Motion carried on a 5 yes, 1 no (Kinkade) vote. Mr. Kinkade explained that he voted no because the developer was not present. MOTION by Kinkade, seconded by Ferris that the Park Board insists that the developers be present on preliminary plat approval. Vote on Motion: Yes - Ferris, Kinkade, McMullen: No - Strootman: Abstain - Kieffer, Anderson. Deerwood Estates Preliminary Plat Park Dedication Commissioner Ferris felt that it would make sense to have a park in this plat as it is one of the first developments in that area and there are no parks there. Frank Stone noted that all of the lots in this plat have pine trees on them, so if the Park Board wants a ballfield there, they'll have to bulldoze all of the trees. Commissioner Ferris noted that Lot 2, Block 3 looks pretty open. He felt that we should let the developer know that we might want a park in this plat instead of cash. Mr. Kinkade suggested that the Andover Athletic Association be contacted to see how big of a lot they need for a ballfied. MOTION by Anderson, seconded by Ferris to table this item to the next meeting. Motion carried unanimously. Hidden Creek Park parkinq Lot Layout The Commissioners discussed the surfacing of the parking lot with several members questioning whether it could be blacktopped. Chairman McMullen noted that there is $1,000 budgeted for this park. It was also suggested that trees be planted along the north end of the parking lot. , The layout of the parking lot was satisfactory to the Commissioners with some members asking if perhaps the entrance to the lot could be blacktopped. / MOTION by Ferris, seconded by Strootman to approve the drawing as presented by Mr. Haas. Motion carried unanimously. J , / ,-.-J Regular Park & Recreation Meeting April 7, 1988 - Minutes Page 3 Commissioner Ferris felt that the Park Board should direct Todd to see what the cost would be for Class 5 and for blacktop. Mr. Stone stated that the cost for blacktop would be approximately $4,000. Park Comprehensive Plan Mr. Stone recommended having Tim Erikkila work on the plan. It was decided that Todd should contact Mr. Erikkila to come to the next meeting at approximately 8:00 p.m. At this time, Eugene Brown, a resident in Oak Bluff, appeared and stated his concerns regarding the parking lot for the park. He was informed that the Park Board will be meeting at the site prior to their next meeting. Old Colony Estates Preliminary Plat Park Dedication It was noted that the park as shown is not the same as the previous drawing. Commissioner Kinkade felt that the developer should be told that what is shown is not acceptable. MOTION by Ferris, seconded by Strootman to table this to the next meeting. Motion carried unanimously. Park Board Chairman Report Mr. McMullen reported that we have received $4,315 in park dedication for Winslow Hills and $10,000 for Woodland Creek. He suggested that we reserve the $4,315 for the tennis court and to have the $10,000 to cover this year's shortage. MOTION by St~ootm~n, seconded by Kieffer to allow $7,030 to come out of park dedication to cover equipment needed and the balance will go into the tennis court. Motion carried unanimously. Recess 9:14 - Reconvene 9:20 Mr. Stone stated that there is money in the capital budget but we have to let the Council know we're spending it. MOTION by Kinkade, seconded by Strootman to rescind the previous motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Stone asked if the Park Board wants 10 trees planted in the back of the City HaJl park. The Commission agreed. Frank also noted that he is going to try to trade the city's old water truck for additional trees. MOTION by Kieffer, seconded by Ferris to adjourn. Motion carried. J MAeting adjourned at 9:32 P.M. Risp.ectf1,l.lly-"" .submi tted, . /, // ~ ~ ~t:/:~' t../ (. ...... /t._____ Vicki Volk Acting Recording Secretary ;' '\ o ~-.J u \ ) April 6, 1988 Andover Park Board Andover, MN 55304 Subject: Proposed Oak Bluff Park Gentlemen: We are Eugene and Connie Benson, and reside at 1292 NW 148th Lane. This is the corner lot just north of the proposed park. One of the reasons we chose this lot was because of the parcel just south of us being dedicated as a park. Our main concern with the proposed site layout is the location of the parking lot; shown just south of our lot, approximately 15 feet. A few of our concerns are as follow: It will not enhance our property value - Visual effect of a parking lot in our backyard - Overflow street parking along lot line Noise - After hours hangout for young adults We would like the Park Board to look at some alternate locations for the parking lot. Attached are a few sketches we have put together, showing alternate locations of the parking lot. We feel that these alternate locations will keep a good flow through the park, and also enhance the community. We believe that a better flow of traffic will exist if the parking lot is located near the future road for Oak Bluff II. This will also tie the two developments together. - ) We urge the members of the Park Board to consider our concerns when proposing a recommendation to the City Council. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. If we can help in any other way, please don't hesitate to contact us.
