chairperson, Scott Rynerson.
ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA: There were no additions to the agenda,
but two "NEW BUSINESS" items were moved up on the agenda to
accommodate those who came to give presentations. The meetings

NEW BUSINESS: I. "RAP" Group Park Proposal, II. Kerry Johnson
Concept Plan; OLD BUSINESS and NEW BUSINESS then followed as
printed.
APPROVAL OF THE MARCH 15, 1993 MINUTES: MOTION by Scott Rynerson
to accept the minutes of the March 15, 1993 meeting as printed.
SECOND by Linda Ladzun. Ayes: 7 Nays: 0. MINUTES APPROVED.
AUDIENCE INPUT: None.
I. RAAA UPDATE: Tom Neumann was present at the meeting to give a
brief update on RAAA registrations and the future of the joint
athletic complex proposed for Apple Valley. Registrations are
being completed for baseball, softball, and track at this time.
Soccer registrations are starting a week from April 19, 1993. The
parks have been arranged and should be set.
He also reminded the committee members about the decision by the
Apple Valley City Council to allocate half of the money for the
arena to buy down bonds of the Maintenance Facility. He felt that
this spelled out the fate of the future athletic complex on 160th
Street in Apple Valley. He then read an excerpt from the minutes
of the Apple Valley Parks and Recreation Committee which stated
that the Finance Department of Apple Valley would be willing to
float $150,000 to $180,000 per year for the maintenance of the an
ice arena to the cities general fund. The Valley Athletic Board is
divided on whether they should pursue the arena. In Toms opinion
he is not sure if the arena is fated to be built or not. He
encouraged a more aggressive approach to lobbying in favor of the
athletic facility by the RAAA members.

MRS.
I. "RAP" GROUP PARR PROPOSAL
Council Member Sheila Klassen introduced the "RAP" Group (Rosemount
Activities Program) and the Chairperson, Lucinda Adams.
Lucinda informed the committee members of some of the history and
goals of the group. The concern they bring before the committee
members this evening is the request for support of allocating land
for a small one acre park to be built in the immediate area of the
Rosemount Greens Apartments and Limerick Way Townhomes. She
briefed the members on the number of children located in the area
and the need for a park that can be accessed safely for play and
RAP activities. She then introduced Kim Cardelli who gave some
ideas the group had regarding contacting area businesses such as
Koch Refining, and government offices that may be willing to
contribute money toward this project. Kim also gave some ideas of
perhaps working together with the Parks and Recreation Department
for maintenance of the park, etc. After considerable discussion
regarding the issue in relation to the Parks Master Plan and
possible exceptions because of the dense population of multi-
dwelling homes in the area a MOTION was made by Scott Rynerson to
support a feasibility study for a park (private or public) in this
area. SECOND by John Howard. Ayes: 7 Nays: 0. MOTION CARRIED.
The RAP representatives asked for input from the committee on what
procedure to use to introduce this idea to the appropriate city
committees and commissions. Scott Rynerson and Jerry Puciaty
volunteered to meet with members of the committee for this purpose.
A meeting was set up for May 13, 1993 at 6:30 p.m. to begin
preliminary discussions on this issue.
II. KERRY JOHNSON CONCEPT PLAN: Rosemount resident, Kerry
Johnson, came before the committee to give a presentation on a
proposed development plan for the land now occupied by Repairs Inc.
This land is located directly southwest of Erickson Community
Square. Mr. Johnson gave a brief presentation on the office
building he and his father are proposing for the area and the plans
of land use for the area to accommodate parking for the building.
According to the current architectural plans more land would be
needed than is available at the present time. Kerry came before
the committee to propose the allocation of approximately 43 ft. X
160 ft. piece of land to the north of the Repairs Inc., now part of
Erickson Square, and another 7 ft. wide area to the east of
Repairs Inc. be allocated for his development project. At the
present time this land is proposed for fill to make an ADA
regulation walking path for access to Erickson Park. This path
would need to be moved more to the north, and Mr. Johnson stated he
would be willing to work with the Parks committee to make the
Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting
April 19, 1993
Page 3
landscaping of the proposed development a part of the park. He
also stated that he was willing to share the parking area for the
office buildings to be used for park events. A conflict was seen
with the landscaping and the new location of the proposed
amphitheater for Erickson square, but Deanna stated that the
Erickson Square Subcommittee would be willing to look at options
with Mr. Johnson that may benefit both parties. After a short
discussion the committee members concurred that they could discuss
the issue and make further recommendations after Mr. Johnson has
made his presentation to all committees and commissions involved.
Mr. Johnson told the committee that they are looking at breaking
ground in the late summer, and he would appreciate if a decision
could be made in a timely manner.
II. SUMMARY OF WORK SESSION OF APRIL 1, 1993: Scott Rynerson
stated that he felt the workshop meeting was very informative.
RAAA Treasurer, Steve Reischauer, was very interesting, and brought
up a couple points about the RAAA program that the committee
members were not aware of. One being the RAAA group that has a
purpose of looking at hardship cases and deciding who to help with
funding sports fees, etc. Scott felt that, perhaps, the RAP group
could benefit from this aspect of the RAAA program. Linda Ladzun
stated that she was not aware of this part of the program either,
and felt that it was a great benefit for those that needed it.
Mr. Reischauer voiced his thanks for Dave and the Parks and
Recreation Department for the great cooperation and efforts they
give to make the RAAA programs work.
III. SUMMARY OF CARROLLS WOODS AND ERICKSON COMMUNITY SQUARE
MEETINGS: Carrolls Woods: Ron Pederson was on hand to update the
committee members on the current status of Carrolls Woods projects.
A target area has been cut in Carrolls Woods and they are readying
to apply a couple different herbicides to this area (Tordon or
Crossbow) to see the results of both. Another session is planned
to chip buckthorn on May 1st. Volunteers are needed again for
this. The subcommittee has been busy planning ways in which they
can use the $15,000 from the CIP funds for each park. He listed
several ways in which the committee would like to use the money or
part of the funds, some being trail groomer, various hand tools,
hiring of staff, etc. The next meeting is scheduled for May 17,
1993 at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers. Ron also notified the
Parks and Recreation committee members that he will be resigning
from the Carrolls Woods subcommittee due to other responsibilities
with the new arena. The committee members thanked him for his time
and efforts on the Carrolls Woods subcommittee.
Erickson Community Square: Deanna told the committee members about
the tours the Erickson Square Subcommittee took on April 6, 1993 to
Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting
April 19, 1993
Page 4
the Minnesota Zoo to view their amphitheater, Terrace Oaks Park in
Burnsville, North Park in Lakeville, and Jaycee Park to view their
shelters. From these tours they have gotten some good ideas on
some things that would meet the needs of our community for the
amphitheater proposed for Erickson Square and the new shelter to be
built there also. The subcommittee also met on April 13th to
discuss the tour and to set some goals for the coming year as far
as landscaping ideas, fund raising ideas, etc. The next meeting is
scheduled for May 18, 1993 at 7:00 p.m.
Dave informed Deanna that he had contacted Corcoran Equipment
regarding the water flow problem that is destroying areas of the
community garden. Corcoran is willing to work with the Erickson
Square Subcommittee on improving this situation. Deanna suggested
that perhaps the problem could be solved easily by digging trenches
and lining them with plastic and rocks. Maybe Corcoran could help
them dig the trenches to divert the water away from the garden
area. Dave agreed since Mr. Corcoran said he was willing to help
out on this item. The water flows from the Highway #3 area and
across the gas station and Corcoran Hardware to this flower garden
area.
IV. STAFFING: Dave informed the committee that on April 4, 1993
the City Council approved the promotion of Lacelle Cordes to the
position of part time parks programmer. Also, Wendy Foreman, who
has been working for the department as a seasonal staff member for
a couple years, has been recommended and approved for the position
of part time athletic program director. She will also be finishing
her college work and will be interning with our department this
summer for that purpose. The Parks and Recreation Departments are
both in the process of hiring their summer staff.
Scott Rynerson took this time to tell Lisa that the Egg Hunt was a
big success and thanked the staff for doing a great job at handling
the volume of children that were at the egg hunt this year.
V. WORKSHOP MEETING FOR MAY 6, 1993: Dave referred the committee
members to the copy of the memo that Ron Wasmund sent to the
Utility Commission. The meeting will be held with the members of
the Utility Commission at 7:30 p.m. on May 6, 1993
III. CHAIRPERSON'S REPORT:
DAVE GILIUSON - Invited the committee members and staff to join
the Carrolls Woods Subcommittee in Carrolls Woods on May 1st to
help with the chipping of buckthorn.
Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting
April 19, 1993
Page 5
DEANNA SIMPSON - Deanna inquired that when it is necessary for
trees to be cut down would it be possible to invite the community
to haul away any wood that they would like vs paying to have the
wood hauled away. Dave reminded Deanna of the liability of having
citizens working on the park property with saws, etc. It might be
a possibility if the wood is cut small enough for the public to
simply haul and then work later at a different site of their own on
the cutting. The disposition will be looked into further.
SCOTT RYNERSON - Expressed a concern about the stakes that are on
either side of the portable toilets in Charlies Park due to the
traffic of kids in the area. Rick stated that these can be
removed. He also wanted to inform the committee and thank Linda
Ladzun for volunteering to serve on the Armory Committee.
JOHN HOWARD - Inquired as to the procedure needed in order to get
bike trails repaired. Dave informed him that he would need to
notify the Public Works Department to take care of this since the
trail maintenance comes under public works.
LINDA LADZUN - Congratulated the staff on the small business grant
they received for trees in Jaycee Park. Dave briefly explained the
grant as being a matching grant of $5,000.00 from the state to
finance the planting of trees bought from a small business and
planted by a small business. Asked that a Thank you card be sent
to the Jaycees for their donations to Carrolls Woods ($500) and
Erickson Community Square ($7,000) subcommittees, and also their
donations for Jaycee Park.
JERRY PUCIATY - They are down to four candidates for the Armory
Manager position. The position will be offered by Friday with an
alternate candidate being named as a backup.
IV. DIRECTOR'S REPORT: Dave Bechtold and Mark Joosten went to the
zoo a couple weeks ago and received the award, a large plaque, for
the Tree City U.S.A.
Park Improvement Day is planned for May 22, 1993 in conjunction
with the city clean up day. This will be promoted in the near
future.
Dave asked to have the committee members clarify what subcommittee
members are attending at this point in time. Also, if there are
members that are listed, but not coming to the meetings. Please
let Dave know and the decision can be made if new members need to
be invited to join or can the committees function without any
further members. Linda Ladzun is on the Erickson Community Square
subcommittee. That committee is satisfied with the membership
list.

tables/shelters. He asked Deanna for her input on what locations
would be best for these shelters.

the Utility Commission to attend. The purpose of getting together is
to identify topics that need joint discussion and decisions. One of
the suggested topics is joint use of holding pond facilities.
I would ask that each of you think of items that are of particular
a-nt.erest to you. If you provide me with a list of items I will pass
them on to Park and Recreation Director Dave Bechtold for inclusion in
their workshop packets.

"RAP" (Rosemount Activities Program) representatives will be at our
meeting to discuss possible park development in the area of the
Rosemount Greens apartments and the Limerick Town Homes development.
Identified in the local newspaper articles is information relating to
a large numbers of children in the Rosemount Greens area, a need for
additional play area, etc. Also stated is the fact that there is
great parent interest in working to generate programming for the
youth.
This area was discussed for additional park amenities during the
Limerick Town Homes development. Identified was the demand of the
Parks and Recreation Committee for a private one (1) acre park to be
included in the next phase of the town home development.
Kim Cardelli and other parents have been invited to meet with us and
to share their ideas with us.

PARK AND RECREATION COMMITTEE ACTION:
�t;itizens group works to get
park in
WEVELYN HOOVER
their neighborhood
With their initial goal of helping
their children learn to get along
better accomplished, a Rose-
mount citizens' group has set its
sights on another goal, that of get-
ting a park located near their
apartment complex.
Organizers of the Rosemount
Activities Program (RAP) say
the large population of children in
the area warrants a park near the
intersection of Shannon Parkway
and 145th Street.
i Residents of the Rosemount
Greens apartments organized
RAP to provide activities and
foster a spirit of cooperation
among the children living there.
Now they say a park is needed
for the estimated 400 children liv-
ing in the three neighboring
apartment/townhome complexes
in the area.
RAP organizers say the need
for a park in the area is even
more pressing given the proximi-
ty to the proposed fire station.
(Rosemount voters will decide
he fate of the proposed fire
station in a May referendum.)
"We just want a positive diver-
sion for our kids," said Kim
Cardelli, one of RAP's
organizers.
"You can't condense all those
kids in such a small place and not
have a place for them to play,"
Cardelli said.
Cardelli and other RAP parents
i said they fear the fire station, es-
pecially during construction,
would be attractive to small
children who don't have other
nearby areas in which to play.
City Administrator Steve Jilk
said the Citizens Advisory Com-
mittee discussed the situation
and several steps will be taken to
mitigate safety concerns ex-
pressed by RAP, if the referen-
dum is approved. He said land-
scaping and fencing will be used
to create a physical barrier that
is aesthetically pleasing.
In other cities, residential
areas located near fire stations
haven't been a safety problem,
Jilk said. However, vandalism
has been a problem in a few of
those cases, he said.
Council Member Sheila
Klassen has been working with
RAP to address what she called
THE ROSEMOUNT Activities Program has organized a
number of events including arranging for weekly visits
to Rosemount Greens by the Extension Office's
mobile teaching center. Photo by Brenda Haugen
"legitimate concerns."
She wants to arrange a meeting
between the group and the Parks
Board to discuss how a park in
that area would fit in the master
plan and to discuss the scope of a
park if one were constructed in
that area.
RAP members say they are
more than willing to help out and
would even raise funds to help
defray the costs of land acquisi-
tion and construction.
Their willingness to work to
that end pleases Klassen. "I give
(RAP) a lot of credibility for real-
ly taking an active stand and try-
ing to create a (positive) at-
mosphere for their families,"
Klassen said.
Helping their families and
themselves is the basis under
which RAP formed in February
1992 when parents got together as
an Early Childhood Family Edu-
cation group and started discuss-
ing what they noticed as a large
number of children fighting
within the Rosemount Greens
community.
After contacting the United
Way to get help with organization
and to apply for a grant, the
group sprang into action, survey-
ing parents and children to find
out what teaching skills parents
had and what types of activities
children were interested in.
Along with providing input into
potential activities for the group,
the survey also helped residents
get to know one another better.
(See RAP, p.13A)
•
RAP...................................
(Continued)
"You could live here for a year
and not know your neighbors,"
said Kathy Pince, one of RAP's
organizers.
Once the survey was complete,
RAP sponsored a variety of ac-
tivities: A Laotian minister was
brought in to address cultural
differences; a talent show was
arranged; and children marched
in the Leprechaun Days parade.
RAP also arranged to have the
Dakota County Extension Of-
fice's mobile teaching center
make a. weekly stop at Rose-
mount Greens. Through the
teaching center, the children
learn about a variety of topics in-
cluding nutrition and self-esteem.
C]
is
The activities didn't stop there.
To teach children to give, RAP
organized a public service pro-
ject, raising funds for victims of
Hurricane Andrew. The children
eagerly participated, according
to Kim Cardelli, another of RAP's
organizers.
"One little boy came up to me
and said, `I don't care how hard I
have to work as long as I'm help-
ing people," " Cardelli recalled.
RAP organizers say they are
satisfied with the program's
success. "We've really solved the
problem we set out to solve," said
DeAnne Lindeen. "(The kids) are
able to see what they have in
common and see beyond colors
and cultures."

ERICKSON COMMUNITY SQUARE SUBCOMMITTEE MEETING
Tuesday, March 16, 1993
7:00 p.m.
MEMBERS PRESENT: Mark Joosten, Linda Ladzun, John Loch, Joe Walsh,
Cathy Busho, Jim Koslowski, Deanna Simpson, Scott Gunhus
I. We reviewed data given to use by Bud Osmundson from Public
works regarding the high water mark elevation at 944.6 ft. We
discussed underground utility and sewer lines from the overlay
map. These were given to Scott Gunhus who indicated they
would be helpful for the design plan. He also had received a
layout of the community flower garden. The 949 ft. elevation
for level of electrical line may affect staging area in
amphitheater. Bud said he could also stake out the area to
give us a better idea of size, etc.
II. Mark Joosten gave us a list of trees and shrubs in the city
nursery. We also can count on receiving more trees, shrubs,
and flowers from MN Green Horticultural Society donations.
They already donated nearly $1,000.00 worth of plant material
which is currently in the Erickson Park warming house.
III. We will need to establish some criteria for donors names and
amounts donated, and how those people will be recognized.
Scott Gunhus brought in some bricks with inscriptions for
donors names. John Loch will show these to the chamber.
(They're setting up the foundation.) The price was $14.00 per
brick. Scott also had some suggestions for benches - concrete
aggregate base with wood seating. He will bring a brochure
next meeting.
IV. The city has $85,000 budgeted for the Erickson Shelter,
Jaycees have donated $74,000 for the shelter, total of
$159, 000. We will need to present specific costs and projects
in the Erickson Square area to be approved by City Council
regarding the $15,000 of encumbered funds we have discussed
previously.
V. John Howard will speak to Tom Reller regarding a visit to the
Minnesota Zoo to check out their amphitheater. Date set for
this is Tuesday, April 6, 1993 at 6:30 p.m. Jim K. will
reserve the city van. We can all meet at city hall. Mark
Joosten will arrange it so we can also tour North Park Shelter
in Lakeville.
