NORTH BIRCH CREEK ESTATES
Mr. Hagen presented a revised preliminary plat showing Lots 1 & 2, Block 1, as proposed
park land. They have changed the ponding areas, added Ilex St. and made a few minor
changes. They have received a preliminary concept approval from the Coon Creek Watershed
District. On the sUbject of the county ditch, Mr. Hagen said the Coon Creek Watershed
District saw no problem with terminating easements to public land. They have done two soil
borings, one each in Lots 1 & 2, Block 2, which show a ground water elevation of 897 -
3 - 3 1/2 feet of sandy silt. Chairman Mand noted the park land elevation is for the most
part lower than 897 which means you would hit water in 1 1/2 - 2 ft. He has checked the area
and reported it was impossible to make ~y determination on what type of land it was due to
the snow depth. According to a wetland conservation study, most of the area is termed
wooded swamps. The soil borings seem to bear that out. The entire Commission felt the
proposed park land was much too low to be of any use. Steve Nichols stated, according to
the Comprehensive Park Development Plan, there is no need for a park in this area until
1983, perhaps it should be cash in lieu of land on this plat and look for better land in the
area. The wetlands map in Chairman Mand's possession was then checked. Most of the area
surrounding this plat is termed wooded swampland. In response to a question regarding cash
in lieu of land, Mr. Hagen had no figure from the developer since they were under the
impression the Commission desired park land.
Other park sites were then discussed. d'Arcy Bosell noted Lots 1 & 2, Block 1 and Lot 1,
Block 3 looked pretty dry. The aerial map was checked - Most of Lots 1 & .2, Block. 1 are
clear of trees, Lot 1, Block 3 is wooded. The western part could be graded at the time of
street construction to create a ballfield; the eastern part could be considered a passive
area. d'Arcy Bosell suggested removing Evergreen St. south of l67th La. and extending
Flintwood. They would gain a little less than 1/2 acre for the park and not have the
expense of constructing the road; the lot lines to the ea~ could then change, possibly
creating four lots. However, the resulting street would be longer than the 1320 ft. maximum.
Mr. Hagen stated a variance would then be needed and they were hoping to avoid this
procedure which is why they extended Ilex St. d'Arcy Bosell said if the Commission gave
strong reasons to the Engineer for not extending Evergreen, maybe they would go along with
it. One reason is that it is not wise to have park land on both sides of the street which
creates a safety hazard. When the area is developed to the south, park land could be requested
,()' abutting these lots creating a larger park. An alternative would be to come to some agreement
with the Engineer to put the street in at a future date if the need arises. If, Mr, Klous,
the developer, was agreeable to this, the park would be close to 12 acres. Any shortage
could then be cash in lieu of park land or site preparation in lieu of cash to grade the

the western part as has been recommended in the Pine Hills preliminary plat. Mr. Hagen
asked if any excess fill was generated during site preparation for a ballfield, could they
, ~use it on the residential lots? The answer was yes. Mr. Hagen will check with Mr. Klous
~about this proposal and make some overlays of the proposed changes which would eliminate
drawing the preliminary plat. He will also obtain a suitable cash settlement figure in
lieu of park land from Mr. Klous. Mr. Hagen advised Mr. Klous and he will be present at
the February 13th Planning & Zoning Commission meeting. The Park/Recreation Commission
decided to hold a special meeting on that date at 7:00 p.m. in order to make a recommendation.
PINE HILLS PRELThUNARY PLAT
Mr. O'Malley has incorporated park grading in the grade plans for this plat. About a 150 ft.
row of pine trees will have to be removed. Since many trees will have to be removed for the
street construction, it was felt that Staff should be advised of a starting date in order to
arrange for a tree spade to move the street trees into the park. This should pose no problem
as the Engineers will be in the area at the time. It should take them about three weeks to
construct the roads. Glen Rogers stated in renting the County's tree spade, you only pay
for the County man's time, not for the equipment. Chairman Mand suggested that the pine
trees be replaced and a wind break on the north edge of the park. If time permits, some
could also be transplanted in nearby Fox Meadows.
MOTION by Rogers, seconded by Meyer, to recommend the City Council approve the grading plans
for the ballfield in the proposed park shown on the Pine Hills Preliminary Plat as incorporated
in the grading plans presented to the Commission by Mr. Tom O'Malley on February 1, 1979.
Further, the balance of 1.2 acres be cash in lieu of land, in the amount of $1100.00, and
that this money be spent by the developer for the grading and/or excavating the park as
shown on the previously mentioned grade plans.
Discussion: d'Arcy Bosell suggested that Mr. O'Malley sign and date the file copy of the
grade plans, which he did. Chairman Mand questioned if a money amount should be specified
in the motion. The Engineers have given an estimate of $1.25 per cu. yd. The bill could
run $1500.00. However, possibly that figure included the hauling in of the heavy equipment
which, in this case, will already be there. Mr. Fields agreed to an even trade, they will
do the grading even though it might cost more than $1100.00. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. O'Malley requested the secretary to ask the City Clerk to put this item on the City
Council's February 20th agenda.
PERRY MADISON SKETCH PLAN
This sketch plan consists of 20 proposed lots, 2.5 acres or larger, abutting Hawk Ridge on
the west side. d'Arcy Bosell explained she talked to the developer who is in Texas Saturday.
He wishes to know the Park Commissions feelings on park land or cash in lieu of park land
before proceeding with the preliminary plat. Chairman Mand suggested perhaps the developer
could trade lots with Mr. Carlson and dedicate park land such as Lots 2 & 3, Block 4, Hawk
Ridge, making this park larger. d'Arcy Bosell didn't think this would be feasible as some
of the lots surrounding the park have trees on them making them higher priced. Since Hawk
Ridge park is large and close, the Commission felt they would lean more toward cash in lieu
of park land on this plat. d'Arcy Bosell said she would confer with the developer for a
money amount on non-green acres valuation. The length of the lease for the Hawk Ridge Park
was then discussed. A copy of this lease was not readily available; d'Arcy Bosell said she
would check on the wording of this lease.
VICE-CHAIRMAN
CJ Chairman Mand thought someone should be appointed vice-chairman in case of his absence. The
most logical one would be Glen Rogers. If both of them were unable to attend, who would
chair the meeting? It was decided the person with the most seniority would chair the meeting.

MEETING ATTENDANCE
- ) Gary Anderson has missed three consecutive regularly scheduled meetings, therefore, there are
'- now two positions open on the Commission.
Break 10:00 p.m. - Reconvene 10:15 p,m.
Chairman ~Aand suggested the rest of the agenda items be carried over to another meeting with
the exception of Park Ordinance Discussion.
PARK ORDINANCE DISCUSSION
Add 1.6 - Fees and deposits shall be reviewed by the Commission on an annual basis and a
recommendation made to the City Council. 2.15 - change to read, "...motor vehicles as
defined in Minnesota Statute, Chapter 169, other self-propelled vehicles, go-carts...".
2 .16 - delete word "motorized". 2 .19 - d' Arcy Bosell thought the wording "alms or
contributions" was redundant. 2.20 - change approved by Park Commission to approved by
City Clerk. The Park Commission cannot approve anything, they can only recommend. In
the exclusive use portion, delete specified money amounts for deposits and user fees and
incorporate the words "as set by City Council Resolution". The reasoning behind this is
that it is much easier to change a resolution than an ordinance if such fees have to be
raised due to inflation. An exception to this is the user fee of $5.00 per person for
the season and $1.00 per person per scheduled game under Nonresident Nonsanctioned Leagues;
the season deposit could be raised. 2.2l-A.-2. - A sentence,. or clause, should be added
allowing for a public hearing with the Council in the event there is a dispute between Staff
and the reserving organization over the condition of the facilities upon departure. This
will be researched. 2.2l-A.-5. Delete the words "of all". Legally you cannot reserve
an entire City park and exclude people not involved in the organized activity. Change
the words "or its, to "and their guests." 2.2l-B. Add "adhered to: 1. The reserving
party must make a reservation at least two (2) weeks in advance of use and change the
other numbers accordingly. The secretary was asked to check on the length of the Lions
Club lease. 2.2l-B.-5. Delete the second sentence and add it to 6. 7.- Discussed was
adding a per tournament cost or pro-rating the license. Glen Rogers said in Coon Rapids
there was a case of one beer license purchasffiand ten tournaments held; they have since
changed their ordinance. It was felt this could be covered in the resolution and not
spelled out in the ordinance. Add at end of sentence as set out by City Council Resolution.
The secretary was asked to check out the length of the Lion's Club lease. 9. Change to
read Local athletic associations or other.... C. Add 1. A. to read "All dep9sits and/or
fees shall be set by City Council Resolution. This would eliminate the need of repeating
this statement throughout the paragraphs. Add a separability or a validity clause.
Also type the option first and the entire exclusive use portion after the option.
CO. RD. 9 REALIGNMENT
This seems to be a dead issue. No action was taken.
SEEDLING PURCHASE
The secretary was asked to order 600 green ash seedlings.
PARK SITE PLANS
Chairman Mand stated plans should be made so problems such as the tennis court wiring could be
()eliminated. Glen Rogers commented perhaps the City could erect a combination well house/
~_ warming house behind the existing hockey rink. This would be a cost shared item between the
Fire Department and the Park/Recreation Commission.
MOTION by Nichols, seconded by Meyer, to adjourn. Meeting adjourned 12:05 a.m.

Re: Ordinance 10D
Dear d'Arcy:
I have had an opportunity to review the proposed'Subdivision
Ordinance Amendment 10D and offer the following comments.
First is merely a procedural item concerning the heading of
the ordinance. We are not amending Ordinance IDA, Band C
since.they do not refer to Section 9.07. Therefore, the
title should be An Ordinance Amending Section 9.07 of Ordinance
10. Also, in Section 9.07.1 reference is made to Minnesota
Statute 462,358, as amended in Chapter 176, Laws 1973.
Minnesota Statute 462,358 was originally adopted in 1966 and
has been amended a number of times including Laws, 1973 and
years thereafter. I would merely make reference to the
section by saying "pursuant to Minnesota Statute 462.358, as
amended."
~J
In Section 9.07.1 of the proposed ordinance, it indicates
that the City may require developers to dedicate land for
park and playground purposes. The statute under which the
City has the authority to require a dedication of property
upon subdivision also allows the City to require dedication
for public open space, storm water holding areas or ponds.
Since it is conceivable that in some subdivisions we may
want to require dedication of ponding areas if City storm
sewer is not available, the Planning Commission may consider
adding these additional purposes. Also under Section 9.07.1
it indicates the form of contribution could be cash or land,
or any combination thereof upon decision of the City. The
enabling legislation which authorizes municipalities to
require dedication states that we have the authority to ask
for a reasonable portion of the proposed plat to be dedicated
'for parks, etc., or that the subdivider contribute an equivalent
amount in cash based upon the fair market value of the
undeveloped land. There is no other additional language in
this statute that would seem to indicate the City would have
the authority to ask for a combination of land and cash.
Therefore, I would recommend that the reference thereto be
stricken from the proposed ordinance.

Upon reading 9.07.3, I initially understood that to mean
that the Park and Recreation Commission would adopt standards
for determining what size of land area from each development
would be required to be dedicated. I did not understand the
purpose of that section since 9.07.12 seemed to indicate the
area requirements. Upon second reading, I now interpret
this section to mean that the standards relate to which area
within a plat the Council will consider for land dedication.
If this is the intent, perhaps this section could be clarified
slightly to avoid confusion with 9.07.12.
In Section 9.07.7, it provides the City shall not be required
to act or disapprove the plat for a period of 90 days after
all of the provisions of the Subdivision Ordinance have been
met in order to consider a possible acquisition of additional
property for parks by the City or other governmental units,
Minnesota Statute 462.358, Subd. 3, requires that a city
approve a plat within a period of 60 days following the
pUblic ,hearing. These two time periods would appear to
conflict and, therefore, I would recommend that this section
be revised to conform with the 60 day requirement. It
should be noted that Section 9.07.9 does conform with the
provision of Minnesota Statute authorizing communities to
take into consideration areas provided by the subdivider for
the exclusive use of the residents of the subdivision.
Section 9.07.10 provides that Park and Recreation shall
establish a separate fund into which all cash contributions
received are to be placed. The City Council is the only
body which has the authority to establish the separate fund
and the ordinance should be amended accordingly, Also, the
statute requires that the monies received fron park dedication
be held in a separate fund only for the purposes set out in
9.07.10.
Finally, under the section dealing with dedicated land, the
proposed ordinance provides that for residential areas with
dwelling units per acre of six or less you are to add one
per cent of the dedication requirement for each additional
dwelling unit per acre over five. I would interpret this to
mean the addition of one per cent of the original ten per
cent requirement. Is this the intent of the Planning Commission
or are you planning on adding on one per cent to the ten per
cent, i.e., eleven per cent for each additional dwelling unit
over five acres.

FROM:

DA TE::
February 8, 1979
REFERENCE:
Pine Hills Preliminary Plat
The following motion was made at the ParkjRecreation Commission meeting February 1, 1979
and is for your consideration:
MOTION by Rogers, seconded by Meyer, to recommend the City Council approve the grading
plans for the ballfield in the proposed park shown on the Pine Hills Preliminary Plat
as incorporated in the grading plans presented to the Commission by Mr. Tom O'Malley
on February 1, 1979. Further, the balance of 1.2 acres be cash in lieu of land, in
the amount of $1100.00, and that this money be spent by the developer for the grading
and/or excavating the park as shown on the previously-mentioned grade plans.
Note: This motion is basically the same as the motion made on January 4, 1979, however,
overlooked were the words "and that such leveling be inspected by the City
Engineer before final approval is made". The Commission does recommend the
site inspected so please incorporate both motions.

REFERENCE:
Misc.
Haste makes waste - there are three correctiorsto be made on the 2-1 minutes.
1st page, second~ragraph - eas should be east and Mr. Hagen stated a variance,
not Mr. O'Malley - Perry Madison sketch plan - 2.5 acres or larger not 215 acres.
Enclosed is the overlay Mr. Hagen was talking about. AI Klous wants to get fill
in there as soon as possible since the equipment won't be able to get in after it
thaws because it is so wet. Also if they don't get some other revision in before
Tuesday they are not on the agenda. Once the fill is in, it has to settle for
a long time - I heard 6 months at one point and 2 years at another - before any
building permit can be issued - has to do with depth of septic systems.
According to the City Attorney, any money in lieu of park land has to be placed in
escrow if it is set aside for the development of a certain park. This affects
Wobegon Woods and Kadlec for dredging White Oaks; Pine Hills for ballfield and
possibly North Birch if you decide on park land.
The Council appointed two park board members. Sharon Anderson and Gary Longbella,
