Update Regarding Dog Park(s) /10 -23 Date: August 19, 2010 INTRODUCTION This item is just an update from the last meeting of the Park and Recreation Commission. DISCUSSION At this point the Dog Park Committee does not have anything to report to the Park Commission until City staff gets word back from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) if the City will be allowed to fence the area between the ASN ball fields and the WDE Landfill site for a dog park. As you recall from the last Commission meeting, it has been suggested by the Dog Park Committee representative Jen and Rob Frisby that area between the ball fields and the WDE Landfill site would be great area to have for a dog park similar to what was done at the City of Ramsey. City staff is still waiting on a response from the MPCA. We hope to hear something prior to Thursday's Commission meeting. Note: The Dog Park Committee has also mentioned that Eveland Fields is a potential site. The existing ball field fencing that is currently in place could be utilized along with additional fencing to enclose the area. For those Commissioners that have not been to the website ( http: / /andoverdogpark.comn please check it out. The website has created a lot of interest since the Andover newsletter went out to residents. Staff is still looking at possibly of discussing the dog park at a joint meeting between the Park Commission and City Council that most likely will be held in September along with the discussion of the skate park. ACTION REQUESTED No action is necessary as this is for updated purposes only.

Berkowitz, City Engineer/Director of Public Works FROM: Todd J. Haas, Assistant Public Works Director SUBJECT: 5. Discuss Skate Park Improvements /08 -08 DATE: August 19, 2010 INTRODUCTION The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to continue discussing a location for the skate park that was suggested by the City Council at the recent workshop meeting that was held on June 29 . DISCUSSION As mentioned at the last Commission meeting, Chairman Butler attended the June 29"' meeting on behalf of the Park Commission to make a presentation and answer any questions the City Council had regarding the skate park. After a long discussion, the City Council did make a suggestion to the Park Commission to consider having the skate park located in one of the hockey rinks which now appears both rinks will be constructed yet this summer west of Public Works buildings. The City Council would prefer that the Park Commission try to make every effort to utilize existing City owned property or parks as a year round facility. As been mentioned the past few months to the Park Commission, the Community Center parking lot will be seal coated next summer that makes it difficult for the boarders to skate on. Note: City Staff has been contacted by the property owner to the west of where the new hockey rinks will be constructed expressing their concern regarding noise since the park would be available to the skate boarders from basically sunrise to sunset. The property owner also expressed concern including their secluded backyard that may be an attractive nuisance and unsupervised activity that may affect them. They did mention that they would prefer Sunshine Park as a better choice. In regards to the estimate costs to construct a bituminous or concrete surface, install a fence around the perimeter and to purchase new or replacement skate park equipment is estimated to be as follows: • For a 75'x75' bituminous pad for the skateboard park, the cost of gravel and bituminous would be around $13,000 with today's costs. That is assuming PW would be doing the site work so the contractor would just be placing the gravel and paving. • For a 75'x75' concrete pad for the skateboard park, the estimated cost would be around $37,000 with today's costs. That is assuming PW would be doing the site work so the contractor would just be placing the concrete. • The estimate for a fence to enclose the skate park if the skate park is located at Sunshine Park would be approximately $14,000. • The amount of funds that could be used to purchase skate park equipment will depend on the surface that would be used to set the equipment on. if bituminous surface were used, approximately $43,000 would be available to purchase equipment. If concrete surface were used, approximately $19,000 would be available to purchase equipment. Attached are some estimated costs for certain types of equipment for the Commission to consider that have sent to the City from American Ramp Company. BUDGETIMPACT The Park and Recreation Commission is recommending $70,000 be used to fund a new skate park for 2011 as part of the CIP. ACTION REQUIRED The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to discuss the location of where they would like to recommend to the City Council where the skate park should be and the type of surface (either bituminous or concrete) that should used to set the equipment on.
