ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA: OLD BUSINESS: IX. KELLEY PROPERTY UPDATE APPROVAL OF THE APRIL 19, 1993 MINUTES: MOTION by Deanna Simpson to accept the minutes of the April 19, 1993 meeting with the correction of the adjournment time of 9:05 p.m. SECOND by Jerry Puciaty. Ayes: 7. Nays: 0. MINUTES APPROVED. AUDIENCE INPUT: None. RAAA UPDATE Tom was not able to be at the meeting to present an update. Dave Giliuson let the members know that the sign up for football is coming up soon. SUMMARY OF WORK SESSION OF MAY 6, 1993 Scott Rynerson and Dave Bechtold felt that of the subjects discussed at the meeting such as park vs. holding ponds and the storm water system, the most important topic was ways in which to open the flow of communication between committees, commissions and appropriate departments regarding projects that are in the works or taking place. The idea of a check off system for each project was introduced. The Planning Department would be the hub of the system. The check off system would allow each department to review the project and have input. When the department feels they have completed their involvement in the project they will then be "checked off." It was decided that the Chairpersons of each committee and commission would be contacted to meet and discuss ways to improve communication. A possible date for this meeting will be May 27, 1993. Scott asked the Parks and Recreation Committee members to let him know if they had any questions or concerns they would like him to bring to that meeting. III. SUMMARY FROM CARROLLS WOODS COMMITTEE Dave Giliuson stated that the buckthorn clearing and chipping went well on May 1 st. There were approximately 15-20 people, 10 who represented RAHA. Having the second chipper helped the process go smoother and more quickly. It also allowed the Parks staff who were chipping to have breaks to rest. They were able to clear a large area of the woods. Deanna said it looks great and the wildflowers are beginning to bloom now that there is more light in the area. The committee would like to do another cutting and chipping in September or October of this year. Dave informed the committee members that the housing development on the southwest corner of Carrolls Woods may be starting sometime this summer or next fall, and the trail access to Carrolls Woods will be taken care of with this development. PARKS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE MEETING MAY 17, 1993 PAGE 2 Dave reiterated the process to be taken for requesting funds from the CIP funds. Dave will talk with Rick Cook and Mark Joosten to get a possible list of things requested by the Carrolls Woods committee. The Rosemount Jaycees donated $500.00 to the Carrolls Woods Subcommittee to be used as the committee sees necessary. Linda Ladzun asked the subcommittee members present to let the Jaycees know how the money was used. The Jaycees would appreciate knowing this. Scott Rynerson suggested that any donations should be acknowledged through photos and publicity in the local papers. Dave said he would make an effort to do this. The date for the next meeting has not been set yet. ............................................... NE1f1f <BUSINEBB: ................................................ ............................................... ................................................ ............................................... I. NORTHWEST ACCESS TO CARROLLS WOODS / SHANNON HILLS Dave moved this up on the agenda and addressed it in conjunction with the Carrolls Woods report. He wanted to make the committee members aware that there is a large stand of red and white oak in the proposed development on the northwest corner of Carrolls Woods. Bud Osmundson and Lisa Freese are working with the developer of that area in order to save as many of those trees as possible. One possibility that has been suggested is that the Parks Department may be able to take the land the trees stand on for the park dedication in that phase of the development instead of money. Dave requested a motion from the Parks and Recreation Committee members to support the fact that the park dedication may be altered to help save the trees. After considerable discussion regarding the fact that saving trees should not always be a park issue. It was strongly felt that the Planning Commission needs to get a tree ordinance in place to save trees as areas are developed. The committee members did not pass a motion to support the altering of the park dedication for the development northwest Carrolls Woods, but Scott Rynerson made a MOTION FOR RECOMMENDATION that city staff look into and implement a tree ordinance as soon as possible. SECOND by Deanna Simpson. Ayes: 7. Nays: 0. MOTION PASSED. IV. SUMMARY FROM ERICKSON COMMUNITY SQUARE COMMITTEE The next meeting is scheduled for May 18, 1993 at Big Daddy's Diner. Some of the subjects to be discussed are the progress of Scott Gunhus on the landscaping plans for the square, contacting 49ers about grading of the site, Tom Schultz hopefully will have preliminary plans for the amphitheater, and get an update from Kose on obtaining clean fill from the Diffley road construction site. Dave stated that he and Bud Osmundson are working on negotiations to obtain fill from the Diffley site. He also updated the committee members that the development proposal presented by Kerry Johnson at the last meeting has had a significant change made to it. Instead of requesting an additional 7 ft. on the east of the Repairs Inc. property, they are now requesting an additional 22 ft. This could cut dramatically into the amphitheater and shelter area. Bud Osmundson and the Planning Department are working with the developer on this now. Dave has gone on record with Bud as saying this new change may not work, and when the plans are set Kerry will need to return to and readdress the Parks and Recreation Committee members on any changes. Scott Rynerson suggested that the Erickson Community Square Committee should address the issue and bring it before the Parks and Recreation Committee only after a decision has been made or if a decision cannot be made. The Erickson Community Square Committee members were in agreement on this. A MOTION was made by Deanna Simpson that Kerry Johnson give the Erickson Community Square Subcommittee a presentation when a detailed concept plan is available. SECOND Jerry Puciaty. Ayes: 7. Nays: 0. MOTION CARRIED. PARKS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE MEETING MAY 17, 1993 PAGE 3 A donation of $7,000.00 has been given to the Erickson Community Square Subcommittee from the Rosemount Jaycees. It is currently held in a foundation that has been set up by the Northern Dakota County Chamber. The committee will have to go through the Chamber in order to access the funds. Dave will be sending a thank you to the Rosemount Jaycees for the $500.00 and $7,000.00 donations. V. WORKSHOP MEETING FOR JUNE 3, 1993 After considerable discussion by the committee members it was decided that the next workshop meeting will focus on the Parks and Recreation Committees appropriate role in the check off and how to keep the lines of communication open to all commission, committees, and staff. VI. SUMMER BROCHURE AND PROGRAM UPDATE Lisa Jost referred to the brochure of summer programs and informed the committee members that it had been distributed to Rosemount residents by Direct Market Media with the Rosemount Thisweek paper. It will also be distributed in the next week at Rosemount Schools, and Diamond Path Elementary. She pointed out several additions to existing programs, such as additional parks or times. Several of the committee members commented that the staff did a nice job on the brochure. VII. SUMMARY OF RAP MEETING OF MAY 13, 1993 Dave Bechtold and Scott Rynerson met with Sheila Klassen and several members of the RAP Group on their request to develop a park near the Rosemount Greens area. Several issues addressed were to discuss what facilities are already available, how they are currently being used by the RAP Group, and what needs that RAP foresees for the future. They discussed ways in which to approach their request in a logical process, and one of the first things that RAP was asked to do was to make a list of their needs and how they are utilitizing the current facilities that are in place. Scott stressed that the meeting was set simply to exchange ideas, and no planning has actually been started. The committee members felt it is important to make RAP aware of what is currently available for sports and recreation to Rosemount residents and how they can utilize them. VIII. JAYCEE PARK STATUS REPORT The shelter was completed approximately 6 weeks ago, but it is not in use yet because of construction being completed around the shelter. The chairs and tables have been delivered. Linda has asked that the Jaycees be notified that the chairs are in and available to be used. The irrigation specs for the hockey rink and grassy area have been sent out. The department hasn't had any notification regarding the tree grant yet, but some trees have been planted. Trail specs have been written and have been sent out. The lighting will be going in before the trails. The concrete work around the shelter is done. The landscaping will be built up with fill and sod placed on top. Hopefully, the park and shelter will be in full use by the end of July. IX. KELLEY PROPERTY UPDATE Scott requested an update on the feasibility study on obtaining a portion of the Kelley property for park use. Dave is working with Ron Wasmund and the city attorney on this. Scott Rynerson expressed a concern that the city attorney was involved this early in the process. Dave explained the process of the Kelley land acquisitions and how they are all handled through one city representative; not on an individual department basis. Dave said that he will work cooperatively with Ron Wasmund to begin the process of negotiating land from the Kelley Trust. PARKS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE MEETING MAY 17, 1993 PAGE 4 .................... ........................... ES f€USI N ESS................................................ ............................................................................................... ............................................... II. CHAIRPERSONS REPORT DAVE - None. DEANNA - Had some suggestions for locations for the covered picnic tables (Schwarz Pond Park, Carrolls Woods, Winds Crossing), and asked if any of the committee members or staff had any suggestions. The spigot in the community garden appears to be leaking, and Deanna asked that someone look into that. She requested that the drip irrigation be removed from the rose bed, they are not irrigating as well as they had hoped. She thanked the staff for helping with the plant sale and signs, putting out tables and setting up the area. The sale brought in $860.00 to the garden club some of which will be used for the community garden. SCOTT - None. JOHN - Read excerpts from an article in the "Minnesota Malitia" regarding the guard getting more involved in the community with staff and equipment. He questioned whether the guard is a source we could utilize for large labor projects, or perhaps Ron or Bud could use them. A suggestion was made to possibly have the guard look into regrading Schwarz Park to better suit the park uses and to accommodate the armory site. LINDA - The Armory Commission hasn't started yet, but she will keep the committee members updated. She had received a phone call regarding the trail on the SW corner of Carrolls Woods possibly being a road. She informed the caller that it was her understanding that it was a trail not a road. JERRY - Suggested planning the summer outing in July to be held at Jaycee shelter. The committee members all agreed. III. DIRECTOR'S REPORT A meeting will be held with the Tree Trust people on Tuesday, May 25, 1993 to discuss Tree Trust volunteering on projects. The city needs to supply equipment and supplies. There will be no cost for labor that is available from mid -June until mid -August. Scott thanked Dave for his time and efforts on extra projects, such as extra meetings for RAP, etc. ADJOURNMENT: MOTION by Jerry Puciaty to adjourn the meeting. SECOND by Linda Ladzun. Ayes: 7.

BECHTOLD, DIRECTOR PARKS AND RECREATION I. ATTACHMENTS: NONE APPROVED BY: Bud Osmundson, the City Engineer, and Lisa Freese, the Director of Planning, are working on a development plan and agreement for the Shannon Hills development. They have identified a growth of mature trees in the northeast corner of that development that we might like to discuss. Our Carrolls Woods plan calls for a small land area to be used for an access to the woods in its northwest corner. In a coordinated effort with the developer it might be possible to identify a mutual arrangement to save some of that tree growth on his property. This area in question would possibly be about the size of one developed lot. This is a discussion item. The intent of the item is to inform you that staff of other departments have met with me to point out tree growth that might be considered very valuable. Those staff members are meeting with the developer to identify more closely the area involved and to discuss the item with him. Since those staff members are meeting today with the developer I will bring a summary of their comments to our meeting. The location of the wooded area involved is the land adjoining the northwest corner of Carrolls Woods. RECOMMENDED ACTION: NONE REQUESTED PARK AND RECREATION COMMITTEE ACTION: PARKS & RECREATION COMMITTEE WORK SHOP / MAY 6, 1993 "UTILITY COMMISSION JOINT WORK SESSION" Meeting was called to order by Scott Rynerson (Chairperson) at 7:35 PM. ATTENDING: UTILITY COMMISSION: Sawn Mulhern and Joe Walsh Parks & Recreation Committee: Scott Rynerson, Linda Ladzun, John Howard, Dave Giliuson STAFF: Ron Wasmund (Director of Public Works), Bud Osmundson (City Engineer/Asst. Public Works Director) Dave Bechtold (Director of Parks & Recreation) INTRODUCTION: Everyone identified themselves and indicated their role in the units of government here this evening. OPEN DISCUSSION: I. INVENTORY AND IDENTIFICATION Importance was given to putting together an inventory of ponds and parks. We should identify the main uses that they were intended when they were developed. We should list the ponds and parks that are jointly used and the ones that should/could be jointly used. ie; The 56 acres obtained through efforts of the Utility Commission many years ago was, and is, continuously being developed as a park. Schwarz Pond Park was purchased as a park. It was and is used as a pond area. Twin Puddles Park has a double title attached to it. It is both a park and a utility pond. Citizens would expect that we make the best uses of the properties. The joint uses should make them pleased with the efforts that we have made. II. STORM WATER SYSTEM Water that is dumped from one storm water district to another should be identified. Water that runs into Schwarz Park will collect and eventually be directed into the S6 acre site of Erickson Park. Storm water districts that have paid for ponding sites and systems in the past may not be pleased if they would be asked to pay again for a system that helps another district with their storm water situations. This would be due to the storm water being directed from one district to another. Water quality needs to be worked on with the park and pond development. Places like Schwarz Park will have water directed into it from roadways and driveways. That water will bring with it oils and chemicals that could destroy the water quality that we now have in that park. There is now a water quality plan being put together that will address this concern. In the 56 acre site of Erickson Park the ponding priority has always been considered in the park development. This was done in the past just after the park was purchased and it is true today. The water levels were identified in the Parks Master Plan and were a major part of the concept Plans. If the water level does go up in Erickson Park it will possibly cover parts of the soccer fields etc.. This did not seem to present itself an item that had not been recognized and would be handled as the water levels might change. The area of the new hockey rinks and a possible future amphitheater are also in the area that meets closely to the highest level of the 100 year storm mark. The decision to make the S6 acres into Erickson Park took place some 20 years ago. The ponding aspects of the area remain while at the same time a community park was started and• -continues to be developed. III. COMMUNICATION Communication was identified to be the most important subject this night. It was the lack of communication as well as the positive communication that meetings like this produce. It is good to recognize the things that were done in the past. It will help us to understand how things got to be the way they are. But, what we need to do is to meet with each other and to inform each other as to what is taking place. This meeting would be to not only let others know of what is taking place, but to request and to obtain input to the project. A check off system for projects should be developed and followed. Prior to Council action on items each committee and commission should have signed off on the project. It is at the same time important to note that items that are not of a major significance should be handled by staff and council and should not be required to go through the check off system. An example of a minor item that could have been handled by staff and Council was the Connie Wenzel lot split. Rather than having her come to the Parks & Recreation Committee staff could have handled it. One thing that we don't want to have happen in setting up a check off system is that causes more bureaucracy. East Grand Forks has a system that a member felt we could look at for a possible model. Communication is very important at all levels. But, of a major importance is to work with the people at the top to be active in this process. We need to information to the community and from the community. We need to get information to and from the Council to the commissions and committees. A meeting should be considered to discuss communication and a possible formal check off system with the Planning Department as the center of that system. Each department head and each chairperson of the commissions and committees would be invited to get together to share their ideas and concerns about how to better communicate with each other. This -meeting tonight is a good example of open discussions and communication. More such meetings should be scheduled. Scott Rynerson will contact the chairperson of each of the commissions and committees to get input regarding a possible meeting to discuss communication issues. A special thank you was expressed to Shawn Mulhern and Joe Walsh for meeting with us. This meeting is an example of open communication that can take place when people take the time to get together to with each other. Carroll's Woods Meeting April 19, 1993 1. It was decided to set up another "Chipping Party" for May lst from 9:00 to 1:00. Ron Pederson will contact RAHA for extra help. Rick Cook will obtain two chippers. 2. Discussion took place on the status of the $15,000 that our committee might have available to use. There also was an understanding that the Jaycees were to donate $5,000. to the Carroll's Woods Committee. A budget showing how we are to use the money needs to be established. Several suggestions were made: Trail conditioner $6,000. Additonal herbicides, Crushed rock or fill for designated areas, Handtools, Funds could be used to pay for wages for part time help, Reforestation dollars necessary to re -plant certain devastated areas. An item by item listing including costs needs to be established as soon as possible and presented to the Park Board for approval. 3. It was discussed that we cannot cut down or work in the woods too much after Maylst do to the Oak Wilt problem. 4. Herbicides were discussed at some length. A concern by Tom Reller was expressed that "Tordon" does leach somewhat and that we might kill a little more plants than we might like to. Crossbow does not have this problem but does not do as good a job of killing the buckthorn. Several test plots will be established to determine the effects. We need to designate someone to monitor the various areas that were treated and document growth or the lack of growth on a weekly basis. 5. The Parks Crew can only continue working in the woods until the ballfields dry up. At that time they will move out of Carroll's Woods except for normal maintenance of the trails. Dave G. suggested that we review the various trails and determine what maintenance will be required in the near future and also to look at which ones are to be abandoned. 6.

We compared building style and function and how they could be conformed to our site and needs. North Park had a good concession layout. We would need to consider storage space no matter which facility design was chosen. We thought it would be nice to have access to the building plans. Perhaps the cities of Lakeville and Burnsville would let us have copies/blueprints for our use. APRIL 13, 1993 MEMBERS PRESENT: Jim Koslowski, John Loch, Deanna Simpson, Cathy Busho. We reviewed our tour of the park shelter buildings and amphitheaters. Tom Schultz who works in building maintenance at the zoo led us on that tour and indicated he could draw up a rough draft plan for tiers and slopes for our amphitheater site; possibly have that ready for next month. That could be given to Bud Osmundson to approximate a rough calculation for fill and grading purposes. It was mentioned that there may be fill available from the Diffley road construction and also some from the armory site. We discussed the amphitheater platform. John Loch volunteered himself for Joe Walsh to drive down to Cannon Falls to take pictures and measurements of their bandshell. We also should check with local theater groups or musicians to get their input on that type of staging. Donations from Jaycees of $7,000. Goals for this year: We would like to get the whole site, including the amphitheater graded. We would also like to have preliminary plans for 1) the amphitheater, 2) shelter, 3) landscaping, 4) ornamental feature. Before the next meeting: 1) Check with Scott Gunhus on the progress of his landscaping plans for Erickson Community Square. ERICKSON COMMUNITY SQUARE SUBCOMMITTEE MEETINGS April 6, 1993 and April 13, 1993 Page 2 2) Check with Del Lorentzson and ask him to talk to the 49er's about grading the site. 3) Check with Tom Schultz about his preliminary plans for the amphitheater and getting those to Bud Osmundson for his review. 4) Check with Bud Osmundson on ability to get clean fill from local construction projects as previously mentioned.

PAGE 2 OF LIST OF PROGRAMS OF NEIGHBORHOOD & FACILITY NEEDS a committed and persistent effort by the various governing bodies, city staff, and, most importantly, the residents themselves to see the park system: plan through the implementation phases. Given these "criteria for success," the importance of y assessing the needs and attitudes of the City residents and then using that information as the impetus and driving force in developing the park system plan cannot be overstated. With this persp,ctive in mind, the information gathered from the various sources will, in affect, be used as a "check List" of issues which will, in some form or fashion, have an impact on this planning exercise and the development of the park system plan. Although there is a temptation to summarize the findings of this section in a concise paragraph or two, it is prudent to refrain from this as to avoid leaving out seemingly minor, yet critical issues. Finally, it is important to recognize that a planning effort such as this is not static, but instead in a state of constant change and evolution. Our purpose with this study is to set the process in motion so that the demands of today, based on our educated perceptions of the community, will be appropriately addressed without forfeiting the opportunity to adjust to the demands of the future. Is essence, this planning effort is the beginning as opposed to an end of a long and involved planning process. 2-11 Section 7 - Park and Trail System Plan ):,gone 73 (Part 1 of 2) City of Roscrnount aw Trail Systcm Plan a.'!::�: '.. a:.. ;,.. n r . r: -(,., ;•i: N.•nl.

Small soccer field overlay (approx. 100' x 120') 3 Low area and culvert inlet. Existing Natural Features/Site Conditions The topography of the site is relatively flat. The drainage pattern is generally from the outfield toward the infield, ultimately flowing into the existing culvert behind the backstop. Not an ideal drainage situation. Site vegetation is largely manicured grass. Tree and shrub planting is relatively small, limited and generally found near the south side of (lie play area and scattered along the perimeter of the site. Pedestrian access is available from either Dodd Blvd. or 146th St. Access from the neighborhood is very good. Curb side parking along 146th. St. provides the best vehicle access to the site. The location and placement of (lie timber container around the play equipment does not provide adequate safety zones, and as such, is (lie major maintenance concern on this site. Future Development Issues As with M-2, this park is somewhat over - programmed for active recreational uses. Future development should focus more on passive recreational activities and the aesthetic quality of the park. The use of the informal playfield should be limited to neighborhood pick-up games and limited youth team use (T-Ball, etc.). The park is not intended to service community -based recreation and athletic programming. Future Development Program Along with maintaining and upgrading the existing facilities as warranted, one or more of the following facilities would be appropriate for this park: • volleyball (grass) • shuffleboard • letherball • hardsurface games area (i.e., hopscotch, four squares, c(c.) • horseshoe pit • a small picnic shelter Typical site amenities such as benches, picnic tables, trash containers, game tables, pedestrian level lighting, etc. arc also appropriate (and recommended) site amenities. Adding a drinking fountain should also be considered in the future. A well -designed planting scheme would add significantly to the overall appeal of the park. As with all future park developments, residents living wi(hin the park's service area should be involved in determining which facilities would best serve (heir sliccific recreational needs and desires.

The following defines the park system classifications which are appropriate and applicable to the City of Rosemount. Mini -Park Use: Specialized facilities that serve a concentrated/ limited population or specific group such as tots or senior citizens. Mini -parks can also be used in areas where distances or geographical barriers prevent the use of a neighborhood park Although typically focused on active recreational activities, passive activities, such as picnic and seating areas., should also be considered. A mini -park can be either publicly or privately owned and :maintained. Joint ventures are also a possibility with respect to mini -parks (if so, appropriate agreements should be signed to assure that the park site functions as intended). Service area: Less than ; mile radius. Desirable size: 2,500 square feet to 2 acres Acres/1000 population 0.25 to OS Desirable site characteristics: Within neighborhoods and in close proximity to apartment complexes, townhomes, or housing for the elderly. Ease and safety of access is an important design consideration. Typically located in high density housing areas or areas which do not have easy access to neighborhood parks. Typical Facilities: See Figure 4.2- Park System Facility Standards. Application to Rosemount: In general, the concept of a mini -park should be limited to circumstances whereby a recreational need cannot be effectively met by a neighborhood park. The circumstances which would dictate the need for a mini -park should be largely avoidable in the future through proper land use planning and park land acquisition. Isolated instances such as areas with high density housing or developed areas not effectively served by neighborhood parks may be justification for a mini - park site. Neighborhood Park Use: Neighborhood parks are the basic unit of the park system and often function as the social focus of the neighborhood. Typically, they are developed for both active and passive recreational activities geared specifically for neighborhood use. Although historically developed for those between the ages of 5 and 17, recent trends in recreation clearly illustrate the need to accommodate a much wider variety of age and user groups, particularly adults, the elderly, and special populations. Additionally, consideration must also be given to the specific recreational needs of the particular neighborhood in which a park is being developed. Active recreational activities, such as field games, court games, crafts, playground apparatus, skating, etc. should be developed for use by a wide variety of user groups. Site lighting should be very limited (i.e., tennis courts, hockey/skating rinks, and perhaps walkways). Given the trend toward passive recreational activities, attention must also be given to facilities such as internal trails, picnic/sitting areas, general open space, and "people watching" areas. An appealing park atmosphere and aesthetic quality should also be considered an important design element. Service Area , to � mile radius and uninterrupted by principle, heavily used roads and other physical 4-6 Section 4 - Park System Framework For our purposes here, the pedestrian/bicycle transportation system is defined to include two important components: the designated trail system as defined in this plan. safe pedestrian/bicycle linkages from all development areas to lire designated trail system. The latter of these two components will be accomplished through City ordinance which requires developers to provide safe pedestrian linkages (via sidewalks, etc.) through development areas and sub- divisions which tic into the designated trail system. Although defining specific sidewalk locations and location requirements is a subdivision planning issue which goes beyond lite scope of this planning exercise, it is important to recognize the importance of sidewalks within the context of the overall trail (and park) system. Providing pedestrians and bicyclists with safe linkage from development areas to the City's designated trails and parks can only add to the overall success of the park system. Additionally, as defined in Section 3 - Governing Policies, the designated trail system (as well as the overall park system) is intended to play a significant role in shaping the design of future development in Rosemount. Given this objective, the design of future developments and subdivisions should be based, in part, on providing functional pedestrian and bicycle linkages to the designated trail system and, quite naturally, the overall park system as well. General Trail System Standards General Trail System Standards which apply to all designated trail classifications include: T 'Trails (of various classifications) should be v ' • constructed in conjunction with future development projects (residential and non- residcn(ial) and/or roadway construction/ upgrading to assure that trail development keeps pace with overall community development. Trail support facilities should be provided as warranted (including (rail signage and striping, benches, picnic tables, bridges, restrooms, parking, shelters, c(c.) • Trail design must be sensitive to the natural environment and character of the area it traverses. Trails should be integrated into the design of subdivisions in a manner which is mutually beneficial to both the overall trail (and park) system and the subdivision it traverses. Potential impacts to residential properties (e.g., privacy, etc.) should be carefully considered during trail design. • Trails should be designed to be accessible to special populations (i.e., handicapped, elderly, etc.) • Trails should be designed and constructed to require minimal maintenance and in a manner which limits vandalism opportunities. • Adequate screening and berming should be provided as necessary along trail corridors to provide a physical and psychological separation lx tween the trail and adjacent land uses. • With the exception of designated snowmobile trails, mo(orized vehicles should be prohibited on all trails throughout the trail system. It is important to note that the (rail standards defined within this text are intended to serve as a general guide to trail design and not a substitute for technical design and engineering (based on accepted design/engineering principles). Specific site circumstances affecting the development of a par(icular' Irail segment must be taken into City of Rosemount consideration during actual design and engineering to assure that the trail will be safe and functional. Park Trails Park trails are perhaps the most desirable type of trail within the park system because they meet most of the established criteria for recreational travel, including: • Emphasizing harmony with the natural environment. Often associated with park sites, nature areas, lakes, wetlands, creek and river bottoms, bluff lines, scenic easements, etc. • Safely protecting users from urban developmental encroachment and associated vehicular traffic. • Allowing for relatively uninterrupted pleasure hiking and biking to and through the City's pork system. • Effectively tying the various park sites together into a comprehensive park system in a manner which enhances the recreational experience of the user. Naturally, it would be ideal to use park trails throughout the park system, both within individual park sites as well as trail corridors between park sites or development areas. Unfortunately, both physical and economic constraints preclude this from being entirely practical or even possible in developed or developing communities. However, given the City of Rosemount's relative abundance of undeveloped land and often outstanding natural resources, a rather unique I opportunity exists to establish park trail corridors prior to eventual development. 4-12 City of Rosemount ection 4 - Park System Framework -igures 43, 4.4, & 4-5 - Class I, 11, & 111 Park Trails Ilustratcs the three classes of park trails and defines hcir recommended development standards. Transportation Trails rho significant difference between transportation trails and park trails is largely based on their locations. Whereas park trails emphasize a strong relationship with the natural environment, development of a park -like atmosphere, and separation from vehicular traffic, transportation trails emphasis is on safe travel for pedestrians and bicyclists to and from the various parks, as well as in and around the City. Transportation trails are typically an asphalt trail (8' wide) for pedestrian/bicycle use and most often associated with roadway r.o..w.'s. In heavy pedestrian and bicycle traffic areas, a separate trail for pedestrians and bicyclists may be necessary. These separated trails can either both be asphalt or asphalt for bicyclists and a concrete sidewalk for pedestrians. Separated trails are often on opposite sides of the road. Designated bikeways (typically consisting of a widened road shoulder with appropriate signage and striping) arc also considered transportation trails. With respect to all levels of transportation trails, safe separation from vehicular traffic is the most important design consideration. Transportation trails arc usually, but not exclusively, constructed along collector, minor arterial, and major arterial roads (typically taking advantage of existing r.o.w.'s, property lines, and casements as long as some form of separation from vehicular traffic can be achieved). I.rgurc 4.6, 4.7, & 4,8 - Class I, III & II[ 'C'�&rrsportation Trails illustrates the three classes of transportation trails and defines their recommended development standards. Cross -Country Ski Trails, Ilorse, and Snowillobilc "trails Wcll-maintained trails featuring a variety of scenery, topography, and distances arc the keys to establishing cro s-c unl i skiin as a viable recreational pursuit within the community. With this in mind, dcvclopmcnt of ski trails should be limited to one or perhaps two locations which meet the stated objectives and can be maintained & groomed on a regular basis. Currently, there is a demand for h r n snowmobile trails within the City. As such, trails should be established in an area where they are accessible to the user groups while limiting their impact to other park systcm components or park users. Trailhcads should be established for both the horse and snowmobile trails to serve as staging areas. A parking area and corral should be provided near the horse trail trailhcad and a parking area should be provided near the snowmobile trail trailhcad. The snowmobile trail should tic into the regional snowmobile trail system. Irtgurc 4.9 - Cross -Country, Ilorsa, Snawmolrilc Trans - Classifications and Standards illustrates these classes of trails and dcfincs their recommended development standards. Population Information Park System Acreage Standards Ilased on Nalibnal ltccrcation and Park Association Standards and other metropolitan park systems, the 4-13 typically accepted standard for overall park system acreage ranges from a minimum of 10 acres/10(]U population up to 20 (or more) acres/1000 population. These figures typically pertain to the core system of parks, exclusive of trail corridors, special -use facilities (such as golf courses), regional parks, and cooperative efforts where the land is not owned by tile City. It is important to recognize that of all the standards to an that are appliedY given park system, the overall acres/1000 population is perhaps the most difficult to uniformly apply simply because the developmental circumstances and park needs within each community are often vastly different. Servicing the needs of the community and protecting significant natural resource areas within the City should be (lie primary factor in determining overall park system acreage. The overall acrcagc/1000 population should then be used as a barometer to determine whether or not the overall park system acreage totals are within appropriate parameters. In determining the overall acres/1000 population, the population figure itself should be lasted oion on 11e projected ultimate or saturation pop City. This figure represents the maximum population that the community could support under full development, given certain parameters and expectations related to the total developable land area, anticipated population densities, and residential housing patterns. With respect to tile ' lion figures a�cnt, tile as follows: and projected pop g Year EQ"IAfin 1990 8,622 (Actual) 200 15,000 (Projcctcd) 2010 18,400 (Projcctcd) to 22,000 (Projected) Ultimate 20,000 These population figures are based on City staff and metropolitan Council projections.
