RESIDENCY OF ATHLETIC PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS: The Master Parks Plan
meeting brought up the question of what type and how many of each type
of fields are needed.
A study was made by Lisa and the RAAA board and they determined from a
study that the inhouse youth soccer program has approximately the
following break down of participants; 26 from Rosemount, 12 from
Lakeville, 41 from Apple Valley and the remaining percent from various
other cities.
RAAA asked that we do a study of the adult programs also. Lisa found
that approximately 38 were Rosemount residents with about 62% being non-
residents. consideration of a rule allowing for Rosemount residents as
the main participants might be needed with the out of town residents
paying a certain participating fee. But allowing for out of town
participants who work in Rosemount not be required to pay the fee.
A study of the percent of adult residents and non-resident numbers for
softball was also done by Lisa. Part of the discussion related to
additional possible regulation rules that relate to out of town
participants. Those rules might also include a special fee for those out
of town participants.
Jerry Puciaty recommended that two or three Committee Members should meet
with the School District #196 staff and Raaa at least twice each year to
discuss schedules of field renovation and construction. Similar meetings
are held during the year with the Park Director, his staff, RAAA, and
District #196 staff.
A joint meeting of Park Committees of all area cities was suggested to
be looked into. The one we had a few years ago was a very rewardinq
experience for everyone.
LARRY WALSH talked about the weed ordinance. Larry questioned if this
committee should belong to the Minnesota Horticultural Society. Right
now Mark Joosten, Deanna Simpson and Larry Walsh are members. If there
are a total of 11 members in a club they get video library use from MHS.
Review should be made to see if it would be appropriate for this
committee to join.
DEL LORENTZSON wished everyone a Merry Christmas! No other comments.
LOIS MCKINLEY noted that the new Christmas decorations in town,
especially along Hwy 3 looked very nice.
DEANNA SIMPSON, JOHN HOWARD, and TOM RELLER had no comment.

Dave Bechtold said the National Parks & Recreation Association this year
is allowing for a city association membership for a price of about
200.00. this allows for 11 names to be submitted for individual
membership as a part of this fee. This can be for the Director of the
department and 10 additional people. Each of the Committee Members will
be listed for individual membership when the fee is paid along with our
council liaison, the mayor, and the Director.
The Council did accept the general budget outline at a public hearing.
They are conducting a study relating to personnel and finances at this
time and when that study is completed they will make further comments on
the 1991 budget items. Jane Mollmann will be presented for her delayed

STAFF PRESENT: Dave Bechtold, Rick Cook, Lisa Jost, Boyd Bailey and
Stephan Jilk, city administrator.
CALL TO ORDER: The meeting was called to order at 7: 35 p.m. by
Chairperson Lois McKinley.
ADDITIONS TO AGENDA: None
APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF OCTOBER 15, 1990 MINUTES: MOTION by Jerry
Puciaty to approve the minutes of October 15, 1990. SECOND by Del
Lorentzson. Ayes: 7. Nays: 0.
AUDIENCE INPUT: Grayme Bartuli, 12685 Dodd Ct. , was present. He is
interested in being involved in the Master Park Plan.
RAAA UPDATE: Tom Neumann and Steve Reischauer presented plaques to
Dave Bechtold, Lisa Jost and Rick Cook in recognition for the support
of past and present years and a job well done, a relationship they
believe will continue. The followinq RAAA members were also honored
for their help and leadership: Lynn Ostroushko, Deb Langenfeld, Linda
Goergen, Rose and Rich Ledin, Joyce Tonkin, Jaan Wood, Bob Rein, Tom
Joseph, Craig Francois, and Tom Neumann.
PARR EVALUATIONS AND WORR: Rick Cook advised they have done some
grading at Shannon Park and fill prior to the winter so grass can be
started. At least three fields will be ready for soccer in 1991 at
Shannon Park, the weather has been cooperative. The ice rinks are
being prepared.
MASTER PLAN UPDATE: Director Bechtold said that City Council approved
the Master Park Plan Committee. Brauer and Associates will be
conducting the meetings, the first one to be Dec. 3, 1990.
REPORT ON THE HAIINTED WOODS PROGRAM: Larry Walsh reported that an
estimated 8000 people attended the Haunted Woods this year. There were
465 children at the Halloween Party. There was only one disturbance
with older youth destroying some props, the police responded
immediately with very little interference to the program. Lisa Jost
added that there were 197 volunteers, 30 more than last year. Two high
school 9th graders, Amy Anderson and Jenna Finkenhoeffer, donated many
hours of preparation work. The final expense report for the program
will be submitted next month. The food shelf donations were good, 18
boxes. Also, $92 was given at the entrance toward the program.
BIRGER POND/COUNTRY HILLS DEDICATION: Dave Bechtold reviewed the five
plans for Park Dedication. Originally Orrin Thompson said the land by
the pond is worth twice as much so they would only give half of the
required land dedication. Negotiations have not produced any result.
Steve Jilk, city administrator, advised the Park Committee to decide
what they would like to see happen with Birger Pond and possibly it can

be negotiated. Ideally all the land surrounding Birger Pond (approx.
20 acres) would make a good park. Tom Reller felt any land near a body
of water would be valuable park land. The west side boarders the Apple
Valley boundary so joint cooperation would be necessary.
Some concepts considered:
1) 4.1 acres with title to the property, with a minimum of 2-3 acres
above the 904 ' high water mark.
2) Lots 28-31 with title to property, 5. 1 acres or the $4, 000/ac X
4.1
MOTION by Jerry Puciaty to begin negotiations for the 5. 1 acres with
the title for land above 904 ' not to exceed the difference of 4 . 1 acres
and 1.3 acres (about 3 ac. ) . 3ECOND by Del Lorentzson. Ayes: 7 .
Nays: 0.
BUDGET UPDATE: Dave Bechtold said review of salaries and operating
budget has been ongoing. The 1991 Budget will have a public review
December 13, 1990. Budget meetings continue with city staff. Dave
recommends staying with part-time employees to keep expenses lower and
give flexibility to the program.
TERMS E7CPIRE: Lois McKinley, Deanna Simpson and John Howard terms will
be expiring December 31, 1990. The city policy now states that an
application and interview process is necessary to be on any
committee/commission. Al1 three requested this information be sent to
them.
BY-LA S UPDATE: The By-Laws were reviewed.
MOTION by Del Lorentzson to accept the Constitution and By-Laws for
1991 as written. SECOND by Deanna Simpson.

Reller, Dianna Simpson, Jerry Puciaty, Del Lorentzson, and John
Howard.
Staff Present: David Bechtold, Lisa Jost, Eric Carlson, Boyd
Bailey, Linda Jentink, Jim Koslowski, Mark Joosten and Rick Cook.
Eric Carlson was introduced by Lisa and Dave. He is a new
employee that will be working with Lisa and Jane on activity
programing. Welcome!
Director Bechtold explained the Country Hills park dedication by
Orrin Thompson in the Birger Pond area. We would like to have
the title to the property to control it rather than a cash
dedication. The following concepts were put together as
acceptable options:
A. Lots 28 through 31 as park dedication. They are next to an
access lot and would allow for a bike trail connection to
Shannon Parkway. Playground equipment could be placed here
also. Jerry Puciaty.
B. 4 acres for park dedication at accessed value ($15, 000/ac. X
4 = $60, 000) . Larry Walsh.
C. Lots 16, 17 and 18. There is no room for active sports, it
would be passisve play area with playground equipment. We
would want title to easement with this.
D. 4. 1 acres of land only. Outside of ponding area (904 . 3 ft.
or below) .
E. Lots 15, 16, 22 & 23 and title to land on south side of
pond.
A recommendation for a plan will be decided at the next regular
Parks & Recreation meeting.
Some notes on this issue. Only 1. 3 acres of land are over the
high water mark are considered aeceptable on the south side.
Country Hills has given $30, 000 for park dedication and Connemara
Park land. There should be 4. 1 acres above the holding pond
easement for dedication. 5.1 acres of holding pond is Orrin
Thompson's on the south side of pond. There are about 20 acres
remaining that belongs to the Kelly property around pond at 904 . 3

feet and below. If land bsecomes utilitq easement, no building or
scheduled use ean take plaee on this land. It is estimated that
the water level maq r3se 15 f et from run off after all the homes
are built in the development, If cash is taken at the o1d value,
only $4000 per acre, $16,000 would result,
The November meeting must include nominations of inembers for
offices in the Parks & Recreation Committee.
Also at the next meeting consideration should be given to raising
the Park Dedication fees from $10,00 to $12,000 in the formula.
Boyd Bailey will check on the park dedicatic n options with USPCI
and report at the next meeting.
Some funding for the Master Parks P1an, $25,00, may have to come

TOM RELLER - None
JOHN HOWARD - None
DEANNA SIMPSON - None
LOIS MC KINLEY - A resident mention that the Dayton Hudson Co. had a
listing showing that Rosemount had received $40, 000 in a grant from
them. Dave Bechtold said he was not aware of this and possibly it was
Roseville.
DEL LORENTZSON - None
LARRY WALSH - Noted that 40o to 50% of the lottery money goes back to
preservation of wildlife and habitat. Only the interest earned is
available for use in a trust fund. A state Music Trust Fund has helped
with funding for the Sunday Nite Band program in the summer.
In the "Space Needs Study" it states that the top four departments are:
fire, police, public works and utilities. Dave Bechtold commented that

parks fall under the public works department and it should be noted
that although parks play an important roll for the community on a
priority need list they would fall after the essential departments.
JERRY PUCIATY - None
DIRECTOR S REPORT: Dave noted that on a walk through the Schwarz Pond
area and Carroll 's Woods with the DNR that the woods in Schwarz Pond
has been preserved more than Carroll 's Woods. There are no trails
there and perhaps it would be a better "preserve" area. The DNR said
that the wood chips work well and are safe for trail use. The trails
were used by the High School for a area cross country met, Rosemount is
the conference champs!

CITY OF ROSEMOUNT
PARRS & RECREATION COMMITTEE
INSERVICE/BUSINESS MEETING SUMMARY
October 1, 1990
7:30 P.M.
Committee Members Present: John Howard, Lois McKinley, Tom
Reller, Dianna Simpson, Jerry Puciaty, Del Lorentzson, and Larry
Walsh.
Staff Present: David Bechtold, Lisa Jost, Jane Mollman, Boyd
Bailey, Linda Jentink, Jim Koslowski, Steve Strese, Mark Joosten,
council liaison, Harry Willcox, city planner, Mike Wozniak and
consultant Jeff Schoenbauer from Brauer & Associates.
Director Dave Bechtold thanked Council Member Harry Willcox for
his support of the Parks and Recreation Committee and department
at the last council meeting along with Council Member 5heila
Klassen.
Jeff Schoenbauer, vice-president of Brauer and Associates, gave a
presentation on the scope of services his firm would offer as
consultants for a Comprehensive Park Plan for the City of
Rosemount. His firm began in 1963, has five full time landscape
architects and has specialized in parks and open space planning
including many services for cities in the area. This process
normally takes from five months to a year.
Committee selection will have to be done as soon as possible.
People to consider will be Parks and Recreation Committee
members, Town Green Committee members, newly formed Garden Club
members, and some noted people interested via council contact. A
recommendation to council by a motion would be in order for the
next regular P & R meeting. Mr. Willcox's input and leadership
will be welcomed.
Also, the proposal by Brauer & Asso. will need a recommendation
by the Committee in a motion to accept the development guide for
the Comprehensive Park Plan. The City Council would then act on
the project at either Oct. 16 or Nov. 6th meeting.
The motion made regarding the Heuer property park dedication
needs to be rescinded because the city planner found that the
City Code Book defines that when property lines are changed but a
new lot is not formed park dedication is not required.
Dave Bechtold reported that the Armory has found additional
funding for a theater and large gym. That committee is moving
ahead with enthusiasm. The new P & R offices will be included in
the original armory building.

TASK B: PARKS AND RECREATION NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND TRENDS ANALYSIS
The parks and recreational needs within Rosemount, both as it exists now as well as projected for the future,
is undoubtedly going to be the driving force in the development of the park system.As such, it is important to
cleazly assess and understand the current and anticipated needs of the community. Additionally, analysis of
regional and national trends in parks and recreation will also be undertaken and used as a basis of comparison.
It is important to note that this Task will run concurrently with Task C below as deemed appropriate.
Spe cally, this would include:
a) meetings with City staff, Park and Recreation Board, and commuaity committees/leaders to
analyze their perceptions of parks and recreational issues, concerns (both strengths and
weaknesses), needs, and the type of parks and recreational facilities that are most desired by
the community.
b) review and analysis of data from previously conducted community surveys.
c)public meetings(anticipate 3 meetings)to discuss relevant parks and recreation issues,concerns,
needs, and determine the type of parks and recreational facilities that are most desired by the
community.
d) review of current and projected regioaal and nationaI parks and recreation trends and comment
on how these trends may impact the development of the Rosemount Park System.
e}analyzing population growth pattems and anticipated changes in user demographics/socio-
economic pattems to determine their respective impact on the development of Rosemount's
Park System.
assessing the-Cit3 s existine land use guide plan, zoning requirements; MUSA line; etc. to -
determine their impacts to the park system plan (or vise versa).This assessment will also take
into consideration the results of the Comprehensive Plan Update currentty being prepared by
the Hoisington Group, Inc.
g) preparation of written/graphic documentation to illustrate the results of the parks and
recreational needs assessment and trends analysis, the results of which will be instrumental in
guiding the planning, acquisition, and development of the park system.
TA.SK C: MISSION STATIIvIENT, GOAIS, OBJECTIVES,AND POLICY STA'F'F N[ENTS
The establishment of the Park and Recreation mission statement, goals, objectives, and policy statements is
important in the sense that it establishes the"vision"of the Rosemount park s}stem and sets the basic parameters
by which it is govemed.The mission statea ent describes, in a relatively short verse, the duty or function of the
parks and recreation system in Rosemount:Goals are the defined manner in which the mission will be achieved
or carried out.A set of objectives (one or more) is the manner by which a goal can be qualified or more clearlydefined. (i.e.-provide a more detailed measure of achievement toward a specific goal).Policy statements define
the appropriate action and political position that mnst be taken in order to achieve specific objectives.
Additionally, clarifying and/or defining the role and responsibility of the Farks and Recreation Board will also
be undertaken. Current City by-laws and ordinances relating to the Board's authority and responsibility will beusedasthebasisandstartingpointfordiscussionandreview.
It is important to note that Task C wilt be run concunently with other tasks, particularly Task B, sa that
pertinent information gained tt roughout the varies tasks can be properly reflected in the formulation of the
mission statement, goals, objectives, and policy statements.
Specifically, this would include:
a)preparation of a structnreci guide to assist participants in development of a mission statement,
goals,objectives,and policy statements for ttze Rosemount Park System.The guide will also give
guidance to clarifying and/or defining the role and responsibility oE the Parks and Recrea ion
Board.

b) meeting(s)with City staff,Park and Recreation Board,and community committees/}eaders for
the purpose of developing a mission statement,goals, objectives, and policy statements for the
Rosemount Park System. The structured guide will be used as the general basis of discussion
and expanded as required to take into consideration circumstances present within Rosemount.
c)preparation of written/graphic documentation to illustrate the adopted mission statement,goals,
objectives, and policy statements for the Rosemount Park System as well as defming the role
and responsibility of the Parks and Recreation Board .
TASK D: PARK SYST"r.M FRAMEVJORK DEVFI.OPMENT
The park system framework is defined as the "guidelines for establishing the park system within the City ofRosemount". This framework is based on the infra-structure of the community, established park planning
methodology, national park planning guidelines/standards, and previous p2r- system studies.
The framework consists of four essential components:
Community Infra-Structure: Defines the set of:tructural elements which have a direct impact on the
de elopment of the park system. This would typically include, bu[ not necessarily limited to, the
municipal boundary,land use guide plan,and public facilities plan.This will also take into consideration
the results of the Comprehensive Plan Update currently being prepared by the Hoisington Group,Inc.
Park System Classifications: Depic.s the park"types" which will be used within the communities park
system. Properly defined park system classifications will insure that sufficient facilities are planned
within a reasonable service area of a recreational need. The existing park system classifications tithin
Rosemount should be affirmed, modified, or expanded as determined to be appropriate througa the
needs assessment. Typical park system classifications would include neighborhood parlcs, community
parks, athletic complexes,linear parl:s/traiis,special-use parks/facilities,wetiands/water resources, etc.
Park System Facility Standards: Defines the type and number of recreational facilities necessary to
accommodate a communities needs (i.e., number of ballFields, golf courses, tennis courts, etc.). These
standards, as set by organizations on the national,state, and locai level (such as the National Parks and
Recreation Association), must be tempered by ]ocal conditions and needs. As with the park system
classifications, existing park standards for Rosemount should be affirmed, modii"ied, or expanded as
needed to meet current and future requirements.
Park S stem Elements:Describes the physical characteristics of each park site as well as the par:system
as a whole. Specificall}, these elements describe the cultural, omamental, conservation, reserve, and
recreation orientation of the park system,whereby the relative balance of these elements within the park
system can be cietermined.
Specifically, this would include:
a)re 7ewing, assessing, and documenting the impacts (both positive and negacive} that the infra-
structure of the commnnity will have on the park system.As previously stated, this review and
assessment will be structured to coincide with the Comprehensive Plan Update currently being
prepared '}the Hoisington Group, Inc.
b)preparatior_ of a structured gu de (based on the fore-me tioned components) to assist
participants in the development of th. park system framework.
c)meeting(s) with City staff,Park and Recreation Board, and community committees/leaders for
the purpose of reviewing the development of the park system framework. The structured guide
wilI be used as the general basis of discussion and expanded as required to take into
consideration circumstances present within Rosemount.
d)preparation of written/graphic documentation illustrating the adopted par:system framework.

TASK E: PARK SYSTEM PLAN DEVELOPMENT
The Park System Plan describes, in detail, the components of the Rosemount Park System. The plan is based
on the needs assessment, planning considerations and park system framework established as part of the study.
The pl a consists of the following major coL ponents: existing and future community and neighborhood parks;
special-use parks (such as nature preserves, swimmin ponds, golf courses, etc.) and facilities (such as indoor
arenas, community center, etc.); linear parics and trails; and wetlands/water resources.
Additionally, the plan will review such issues as park system acreage totals, facilities tabulations,
estimated development costs, maintenance costs, and administrative development.
Specifically, this would include:
a)development of an overall pazk system plan which depicts the individual park sites and faciIities,
what type of park it is (i.e., community, neighborhood, special-use, etc.), developmental status
i.e.,acquired/proposed and developed/undeveloped),the park's location,and overall acreage.
b) review and inventory of ex•stine community/neighborhood parks and special-use parks/facilities,
including a general analysis of the existing site characteristics and facilities.
c)preparation of an updated development pro ram for each e cistinQ community/neighborhood
park and special-use park/facility, including seview of the estimated development and
maintenance costs.
d) an analysis of each exi'stine community/neighborhood park and special-use park/facility to affirm
it's suitability for current and.future uses, based upon an updated park-program for each site: -
e)review and inventory of proposed community/neighborhood park sites and special-use park sites,
including a general analysis of the existing site characteristics.
preparation of a developmeat program for each proposed community/neighborhood parks and
special-use park/facility,including review of the estimated deveIopment and maintenance costs.
g)development of an overall linear parks/trails system plan which depicts the individual trai]
types/developmental criteria (i.e., such as trail development through private property, etc.),
general locatians, and developmental status (i.e., acquired/proposed and developed/
undeveloped).
h) development of an overall wetlands/water resources plan which depicts the individuai
wetland/water resource types, locations, status (i.e., protected f unprotec[ed) and jurisdiction.
i)a review and inventory of state and regional park systems which are in or near Rosemount to
assess their contribution to community recreation needs.
j)a review and inventory of private recreationat providers availabte in or near Rosemount to assess
theu contribution to community recreation needs.
k)meeting(s)with City staff,Park and Recreation Board,and community committees/leaders for
the purpose of reviewing the development of the park system plan.
1)a public meeting to review and discuss the park system plan and i[s impacts on the community.
m) preparation of written/graphic documentation illustrating the park system plan and it's
components,including an aerial photograph of each e cisting f proposed park site and/or facility.
TASK F:_FINANCIIJG pqRi{Lp.ND ACQUISITION AND DEVEIAPMENT
Financing sources,which would potentially be available for financing park land acquisition and development,will
be reviewed and listed under several categories,including local initiatives,debt financing,and intergovemmental
sources.
Specifically, this would include:
a)review of financing sources available for financing park land acquisition and development.
b) preparation of written documen[ation illustrating potential financing sources for park land
acquisition and development.
4
TASK G: IlviPLEME?NTATION PLAN
The implementation plan will define the manner in which the Park System Plan is put into action, wherebyplannedimprovementstotheparksystemactuallybecomereality.
The implementation plan has a couple of major objectives,including: 1) the development of a methodology, or
process,which allows for an on-going and systematic method of evaluating the various park system components
and their relative importance to the park system;2) development of an implementation schedule for acquisiiion
and development of park land based on the previously established methodology.
Specifically, this would include:
a)development of a methodology which allows for an on-going and systematic process of evaluating
the various park system components and theu relative importance to the park system.
b) establishment of evaluation criteria for prioritizing the acquisition and development of park land.
c)preparation of priority ranking matrix for pazk land acquisition and development of park land.
d) preparation of a phasing program and implementation schedule which deFines the appropriate
phasing of acquisition and development of specific park sites/facilities,including estimated costs.
e)preparation of written and/or graphic documentation.
TASK H: FINAL DOC'UMENTATION
The Comprehensive Park Plan and Development Guide will be prepared using a format similar to that which
was used for a similar study underta}:en for the City of Inver Grove Heights and previously submitted to the
CLIENT for review.Naturally, certain format changes are likely ua order to address issues and concerns which
are unique to the circumstances present in the City of Rosemount.
The expressed intention of the final document will be to clearly document the findings associated with the tasks
previously defined in this proposal. All information relevant to the preparation of this Comprehensive Park
Plan and Development Guide will be included in the finai dacument.
TASK L• SPECIAIrUSE PARK AREAS
As part of the overall park system study, a couple of special-use park areas rec lire additional review and

about $500 at a tournament. More steel is being bought for soccer

basins have been installed to handle the storm waters. Also the
sidewalk was modified for handicap access. September 22 the RAAA is
going to repaint the hockey rink walls. There is no maintenance
allowed in Shannon Park at this time; this will delay the field
preparations for one full year.
RECREATIONAL UPDATE: Lisa Jost reported that Tiny Tots has four
classes this year. One new class is just for five year olds. Cindy
Schumann and Kim Vinge are the instructors. Volleyball programs have
begun, there are 24 recreational teams, 16 power teams, and 12 women

HALLOWEEN PROGRAM UPDATE: Larry Walsh reported that the same trail
will be used as last year for the Haunted Woods and the senior high f4r
indoor games. A haunted puppet show will be added and the tunnel will
be made differently. Kathy Buchow is organi'zing by making
presentations at different community clubs to request volunteers.
Hastings High School donated items from their all night party for a
pirate scene. The Jaycee's would like to do an area on Ninga Mutant
Turtles or space cantina. More volunteers are needed inside and out.
FEE POLICY: Lisa recommended a $25 fee for park use. Non-profit
organizations do not pay a fee. This would help insure park clean up
by users. There would be a two week cancellation policy after which no
refund would be made. Parks without shelters are not reserved very
often. There is a shortage of tables now, but more are being planned
to be built. Rental kits are available for outdoor sports.

25 for non-residents which would be refundable or could be waived upon
directors approval effective October 1, 1990 to September 30, 1991.

and a contact number if any problems arise.

reason for building due to a home fire in view of park dedication fees.
MOTION by John Howard to waive the park dedication fee for the Heuer
Subdivision as long as the resident remains on the property. If the

needs to be changed. Rick said he will take care of this when the
signs arrive.
DEL LORENTZSON - Would like to see a hot air balloon race or rides for

be used to publicize this. Everyone thought this was a great idea.
LOIS MCKINLEY - no comment.
DEANNA SIMPSON - Charlie's Park nets are in need of repair or
replacement. Lisa and Dave will check into this for next spring.
JOHN HOWARD - no comment.
TOM RELLER - Reported that friends said Erickson fields are the best.
Bluebirds are gone for the winter. New areas will be selected to put

IN3ERVICE/BUSINESS MEETING SUMMARY
September 10, 1990
7:30 P.M.
Committee Members Present: Lois McKinley, Tom Reller, Dianna
Simpson, Jerry Puciaty, Del Lorentzson, Larry walsh and John
Howard.
Staff Present: David Bechtold, Lisa Jost, Jane Mollman, Boyd
Bailey, Carl Dahnke, Jim Koslowski, Steve Strese, Mark Joosten
and council liaison, Harry Willcox.
Director Bechtold explained how these inservice/business meetings
would be used to review the budget, set policy, and do goal
setting for the future of the Parks and Recreation Department.
He encouraged positive interaction and the need to be a team.
Council Member Harry Willcox discussed the relationship of the
Parks and Recreation Committee as a valued Ad-Hoc committee. The
guidelines and policies need to be defined which will be
accomplished by the Master Plan Project.
Land use policy for park dedication needs direction. There was
agreement that usable land, not water, swamp land covered by
water, temporary or permanent holding areas, without negotiation
and agreements would not count toward acreage of park dedication
land.
A clear process should be in place so that motions and
information flows between council, planning department, and parks
department. The Parks Department would not be in favor of
shifting park funds because citizens are expecting planned
improvements throughout various parks in the city.
Hopefully the Master Plan will address this communication issue.
Brauer and Associates is the firm scoping the rough draft now.
We will have a "red pencil day" to add detail and make choices.
Harry Willcox and Ron Jacobson left the meeting.
AGENDA ITEMS
Jerry Puciaty has a letter to put in the next meeting agenda.

through a process, seeing various sides of this and other issues and
then make a recommendation to proceed.

Camfield Park needs more signage for handicap parking and access.
The seniors praised Lisa and Jane for the planning of the senior
citizen trips. Good job.
DEL LORENTZSON - Would it be possible for curb and gutter at

programs. Softball and soccer tournaments have been great. In-
house soccer starts today. Golf tournaments have also started.
I.S.D. #196 and the Parks & Rec Department are close to a

system of distribution of informational flyers for RAAA in the
school district is being worked on.
IIPDATE ON CARROLL S WOODS: Director Bechtold said that

PARKS & RECREATION COMMITTEB
JULY 16, 1990
PAGE 2
PARR ORR: Director Bechtold said that the Park crew has been
keeping the softball fields maintenanced for tournaments (and
they are in excellent shape) ; working on timber landscaping
around playground equipment; and the upkeep on the various
irrigation equipment.
TOWN GREEN REPORT: There have not been any meetings in four
months because the committee is waiting for direction from the
consultant being hired for the Parks and Open Space RFP.
FLOWER GARDEN UPDATE: Deanna Simpson reported that the Twin
Cities newspaper, The Pioneer Press, plans to do a story with
pictures on the Community Flower Garden in their "Neighborhood"
section. Deanna stressed the success has been due to the
cooperation with the Parks Department, Minnesota Green
Horticultural Society sponsorship (Rick Bonlender} , and city
business donations. Minnesota Green commented that Rosemount is
doing a lot more than other communities in the area. Deanna made
a pictorial display of the progress of the garden. Some fund
raising has begun, Ed McMenomy donated the first $100 for the
flower garden. The committee would like to raise $3,500 for
benches, arbor, tulip bulbs, etc. The Utility Commission will
help with a sign attached to Well No. 1. Discussion was held on
what the sign should say. Director Bechtold advised that city
staff and council should be consulted. Two suggested names were:
Erickson Park Community Square" and "Rosemount Community Flower
Garden" .
E;:<:;1;:`:
COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN REVIEA: Director Bechtold will be
researching surrounding city's procedures for parks and
recreation issues. He will make them available to this committee
for examination. Definitions are needed for what a community park
should be; what a neighborhood park should be; what a pleasure
rink is; Green Way trails specifics; etc.
This should be a five year plan. New information will be
distributed prior to the next meeting.
BIIDGET SOMMARY: Personnel will increase by one part-time person
for next year. This is justified by the increase in park area.
There are no new items for the 1991 CIP budget. The Erickson
park shelter and moving of the hockey rinks will be delayed until
1991, those funcls will carry over.

JERRY PUCIATY: Over the 4th of July some parents mentioned that
the little league field needed to be dragged. Dir. Bechtold
explained that the rain may have prevented the crew from doing
this, normally it would be done Monday and Wednesday .
LARRY WALSH: Larry asked about the bike trail on Cty Rd 42
connecting the corridor system. The city agreed upon the north
trail being completed with the businesses (as they develop) being
required to install the south trail. Construction should begin
in the fall. The city will maintain it. Safety for pedestrians
at the cross walks must also be considered.
DEL LORENTZSON: Del observed the crosswalk in Apple Valley at
140th Street. There are several signs that help make this safe.
Also the police patrol it. The crossing at Dodd Blvd. could be
identified similarly with speed limits at 30mph or 45mph when no
kids are there. Signage is very critical to a safe cross walk.
The signs on Cty Rd 42 and Canada and Shannon are out dated. The
stop lights really do not allow enough time for a pedestrian to
cross the entire road, often kids become stranded on the median.
The County sets the timing on these lights. Dave will contact
Dave Ivers with the Highway Dept. in Physical Planning. Also the
cross walks need painting.
LOIS MCKINLEY: Lois was disappointed that Rosemount along with
Savage was not mentioned at the picnic for the Torch Runners.
Lisa did mention this to the organizers who indicated it was an
error.
DEANNA SIMPSON: No additional comments.
JOHN HOWARD: Also checked the crosswalk in Apple Valley to
compare to use in Rosemount. He felt enforcing speed limits and
have visible patrols would help. He received several positive
comments on the field maintenance this summer.
TOM RELLER: Tom said there are more bluebird eggs hatching. A
person to check the bluebird houses is needed in Erickson Park.
DIRECTOR S REPORT: Picnic with a tour will be planned for P & R
Committee for the August Committee meeting. There aren't any
budgeted funds for consultants; funding will have to be
researched.

Boyd Bailey reported the easement was obtained on Dodd Blvd. and
Chrome Ave. from Hubert Uitdenbogerd for $4,450. Picnic tables
with canopies are planned for Schwartz Park to be built by our
staff carpenter, Jim Koslowski. Examples of these tables can be
seen at the Apple Valley golf course. Timber landscaping for
erosion with built in benches are planned for several parks.

RAAA REVIEW: John McMenomy, RAAA representative, is looking forward to
having the City Hall available for hand outs and program information
sheets. This may help parents when the football sign up starts in
July. The City and RAAA have each donated $500 to the school district
toward maintenance of fields. Last weekend the fields were not ready
for a tournament. Director Bechtold said he would hold the check to
the school district until clarification of "field ready" for adult and
children's sports are made.
UPDATE ON CARROLL S WOODS: Dan Newbauer and Pat Jostead, both
naturalist, have been hired to do separate reports on Carroll 's Woods.
Dan Newbauer gave his report saying that the City and Parks &
Recreation Committee should be commended for looking ahead to set aside
this land for public use. There are many positive things about the
trails and development. Newbauer estimated 120 different types of
birds and 15 species of mammals in the park. There are some hardwood
cherry trees of an unusually large size that should be reported to the
state for recording (or Meg, at Heritage Hamlet) .
To obtain the maximum recreational public use and natural resource
improvement, a long range use plan should be developed. The plant life
in the woods is currently in a state of rapid deterioration because the
European buckthorn and honeysuckles are overtaking other plant life.
In 100 years there would be almost no other species surviving. So
maintenance of these plants should be a priority. Schwarz Pond play
area should be enlarged along with the shelter. Some trail grades are
steep and could be improved. The bird houses could be placed more
appropriately with more platform nesting areas.

PARRS & RECREATION COMMITTEE

Involvement of ISD 196 for use as classroom programs is advised.
Newbauer is developing school programs now for use by high school age.
High schoolers could do an excellent job on a maintenance program for
the buckthorn removal and habitat refurbishment. More community and
county involvement is available (i.e. Master Gardeners) . Visitor
Occasion programs such as maple syrup program could be conducted in the
park. The exercise trails could be refurbished or redone for better
use.
Other agencies are available for additional information, advise and
money grants. A sub-committee should be formed just for this because
of the time needed in writing and researching grants. The LMCR will
have funds available for fall of 1990. Rapture Center could use this
for return of red tailed hawks and owls. Minnesota Naturalist club,
Dodge Nature Center, and others can do co-op programs. Scout troops
and church groups could be involved also.
Newbauer advised that the area is too small to be a major wildlife
preserve and there should not be any more trails added. Again, he
commended the City of Rosemount for setting aside this land and hoped
many other cities would do so in the future. He thanked the committee
for the chance to help with such a worthwhile project.
Pat Jostead handed out her report to committee. Jostead felt that more
emphasis should be given to the main entrance to Carroll 's Woods as
being the Schwarz Pond parking area. Then Carroll 's Woods would be an
animal and plant sanctuary, a "special" place at the end of the trail
for quiet observation. This would allow active open space at Schwarz
to flow naturally to trails for observation in the woods. Signage can
often be subtle management to control people using the parks. "Keep On
The Trail" and "Poison ivy" signs keep children from tramping plant
life. Jostead advised that right now there are parallel paths that
should be combined near the hockey ring area. Also a neighborhood
entrance without a parking lot on the southwest corner of Carroll 's
Woods would be advisable. Neighbors are allies, they help take care of
the park like it was their own backyard and can report abuse and fire
dangers.
The trees around Schwarz Pond create a good buffer area to surrounding
land. Water run off could be a problem; a hydrologist should be
consulted. Fencing is a possibility for protection of Carroll 's Woods
to restrict entrance on other than a main use trail. A gate and lock
may not be necessary at all.
The forest is a renewable resource. If it is a preserve, then fire or
disease would not warrant any action, other than maintaining the trail
for safety.
Jostead set forth a management plan in her report including doing a
site description" and making a "statement of objective" . Information
should be clearly listed for comparisons and decision making.
Director Bechtold suggested this "naturalist aspect" be included in the
Parks & Open Space Consultant Overview which the City is in the process
of accepting. Carroll 's Woods and Schwarz Pond are adjacent to the
proposed armory site, high school, and across Hwy 3 from Erickson Park
and City Hall. A complete program plan would be called for of all of
these areas. .
PARRS & RECREATION COMMITTEE
JUNE 18, 1990

Jostead suggested that even if there is a low budget many community
volunteers could do a great job. She encouraged high school student
participation, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Tree Trust, etc. A small
committee of about six people with ane naturalist or parks professional
if formed, could help promote many programs.
Ron Jacobson noted that the Parks and Open Space Consultants should be
aware of the provisions of the Minnesota Grant Office relative to land
use. Jacobson would like Carroll 's Woods preserved as the City's
forefathers would have liked it.
Director Bechtold assured the committee that Mr. Sames from the Grant
Office would be involved with the upcoming study and has offered his
in utp . We must keep in mind that there are several interpretations of
the grant applications. The past intent, the present plan and future
plans for the park must all be considered.
HAUNTED WOODS LOCATION: Joe Walsh asked the committees feeling as to
whether or not Carroll 's Woods would still be used for the Haunted
Woods. Jostead suggested the trails near Schwarz Pond more appropriate
with guided tours Halloween night. The Committee stated that because
the children safety would be in question near the water, it would not
be acceptable and it would be hard to find more volunteers as guides.
At this time the committee feels that the positive community
involvement out weighs the wear and tare on the trails for this one
evening. The program should remain as it is.
INDS CROSSING PARR: By definition of our own 1990 Land Use Plan,
Winds Crossing Park no longer fits the description of a "neighborhood"
park. It has been noted that the parking is inadequate. There is an
additional approximately three acres available through land dedication
from the developer. Bechtold recommended that "land only" be accepted
from that developer, no cash dedication. The park could then be
redesigned to allow for more parking and expand the playground.
MOTION by John Howard to request land dedication and not accept cash
for park development. 8ECOND by Larry Walsh. Ayes: 7. Nays: 0.
LEPRECHAUN DAYS IIPDATE: Lisa Jost reported Leprechaun Days will be
from July 20 - 29th. It is the tenth anniversary which will be
celebrated with a larger parade, additional fire works and some
extras" during the week. Joe Walsh added that Koch Refining donated
3000 toward the purchase of sound equipment with a portable trailer.
This will be used for the Sunday Night Specials in the parks and many
other community events. I
A large chest freezer was donated to Parks & Recreation. It will be
used for the sale of ice cream and popcicles during Leprechaun Days.
It will also be used to make ice for the summer programs.
New reusable signs for "Run for the Gold" showing the one and three
mile turnaround spots and a "Start/Finish" sign have been purchased.
Also some plastic tarp canopies have been purchased for the City to
use. About $7,000 worth of equipment in all has been purchased.
A resident has indicated he would be willing to work on building a
portable stage that would possible be ready for next years summer
events.
PARRS & RECREATION COMMITTEE
JUNE 18, 1990
PAGE 4
The planning schedule for Leprechaun Days is ahead of schedule.
lendors will be allowed at events.
RECREATION REPORT: Lisa reported that about 80 kids participated in
the parks programs. Six Girl Scouts volunteered their time helping.
Cindy Schumann organized the Puppet Wagon which Jim Kolwalski built.
Tennis lessons and softball tournaments have begun. Rick Cook and his
crew do an excellent job on the field maintenance. Many participants
volunteer compliments that Erickson fields are the best in the
surrounding areas. Sunday Night Specials begin this week.
PARR WORR: Rick Cook advised that a lot of work has been done in the
flower garden; the nursery is finished; Twin Puddles is being
updated; the Puppet Wagon has been built; and the grass is being cut
continually. Some dead trees across trails in Carroll 's Woods need to
be removed.
TOWN GREEN REPORT: The plans for the hockey rink relocation and
shelter have been postponed until the consultants that will be hired by
the City have had time to consider their placement. Funds budgeted for
this will be held and made available when needed. The flower garden is
progressing well. Larry Walsh, Del Lorentzson, Deanna Simpson and staff
have spent 3 to 4 months working on the garden. Native and prairie type
flowers along with some annual flowers have been planted. Rocks have
arrived for the rock garden. Many donations from nurseries and
residents of plants. Donations of seven hybrid roses and some are
heritage" roses, ones that are from founding families of Rosemount. A
sign should be added at the entrance on 145th St. W. to help identify
the entrance. The work remaining includes weeding, benches, an arbor,
and add a hedge row. Parks assistance and some involvement by Public
Works is greatly appreciated.
CLARIFICATION OF MOTION: The motion on page 6 of the Rosemount Parks &
Recreation Committee of April 16, 1990 should be amended as follows:
MOTION by Larry Walsh that if a Carroll 's Woods Concept Plan Committee
is formed then each Parks and Recreation Committee Member will submit a
name to serve on that committee. SECOND by John Howard. Ayes: 7.
Nays: 0.

COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN REVIEW: Director Bechtold will be researching
surrounding city's procedures for parks and recreation issues. He will
make them available to this committee for examination. This should
help give ideas on how and why park development occurs. We must
continue with our ideas and can use the input from others programs as
additional support for our procedures.

LARRY WALSH - no comment.
DEL LORENTZSON - Connemara Park was complimented by a youth group from
St. Joseph's. They thought it was great. They did ask if a basketball
hoop could be added, Director Bechtold commented that a basketball half
court is planned for this summer on the east side of the parking lot.
The Twin Puddles parking lot could be paved next year. The gate on the
fence around the holding pond is now locked.
LOIS MCKINLEY - Reported that the Bike-A-Thon went great with
beautiful weather and a great route. Some children were asked by
police to remove their remote control cars from a parks parking lot
area. Is there a law against this? Director Bechtold will check on
this. There are some trees near Schwarz Pond that have barb wire
growing through them and are dangerous, please check.
DEANNA SIMPSON - reported that the wild flowers planted in Erickson
Park last year have germinated.
JOHN HOWARD - no comment.
TOM RELLER - Reported that there are no bluebirds at this time in
Erickson Park. There are plenty of wrens, tree swallows and sparrows.
A new person is needed to check the bluebird houses weekly in Erickson
Park.
DIRECTOR S REPORT: Director Bechtold will ask City Engineer Hefti to
report on the safety of the street crossing on Dodd Rd. . Bechtold
recommends that Dodd Road Bike Trail that goes from Shannon to
Chippendale to Chili and 145th St. should end at Chrome Ave. with
accesses to Dodd Road from Tom Thumb.
Arrangements with Hubert Uitdenborgerd are being pursued for easement
land. He has been very cooperative.
The RAAA had its Irish Little League tournament with approximately 60
teams. Our staff was reported to have done an excellent job on
maintenance. They will be commended.
Budget process has begun. We may have to slim our budget back, but we
will continue to emphasize the need for activities and facilities.
Priorities must be set as dollars and demand change.

STAFF PRESENT: Dir. Dave Bechtold, Lisa Jost, Mark Joosten, and Boyd
Bailey. Guests: Tom Neuman and John McMenomy from Rosemount Athletic
Asso. (RAAA) , Howard and Jacobson for Carroll 's Woods, and a small
group for Winds Crossing Park.
CALL TO ORDER: The meeting was called to order at 7:34 p.m. by
Chairperson Lois McKinley.
ADDITIONS TO AGENDA: Armory Committee Update.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF APRIL 16, 1990 MINUTES: Larry Walsh requested
the wording of the motion made on page 6 be researched. MOTION by Tom
Reller to approve the minutes with exception of the motion mentioned.
SECOND by Del Lorentzson.
NO AUDIENCE INPUT
il:'':::.I.;
RAAA REVIEW: Tom Neumann, RAAA representative reviewed their programs
for the upcoming session. There are over 2500 children participating
in softball, baseball, and soccer this summer.
The "in-house" soccer program is donating $1500 to the Rosemount Parks
and Recreation Department toward the purchase of a stripper. This is
in appreciation for the equipment and services received from the City.
RAAA has had very good cooperation with the City (not so with the
school district) . Tom feels that fees and roles should remain the same
and that our process does not have to be like other cities.
Director Bechtold said that P & R is planning to promote sign-ups with
the programs. Some other cities charge for some services i.e. portable
toilets. Fees vary. We are happy with the interest and concern that
RAAA has for working together.
PARR EVALUATION: Dir. Bechtold reviewed the park work; new pins have
been placed in the softball fields. Mark Joosten reported that a
nursery is being reestablished at Erickson Park due to the increase in
parks. It is also being used for educational purposes in the
community. Some seventh students (36) from St. Joseph's planted 780
seedlings; 460 shade and ornamental and 320 evergreens (red pine, white
spruce) . The nursery is half full. Mark will be staggering plantings
3-5 years. Next year larger trees (ash, maple and oak) will be
planted. The Vo-Tech is letting us use their land for a nursery also.
Some seedlings will be planted this year, but not a lot. Jane Mollmen
and Cindy Schumman have assisted in these plantings. Irrigation has
been extended to the nursery in Erickson Park. An automatic irrigation
gun has been purchased with council approval at the last council
meeting. 45 trees have been planted in area parks. Connemara, Winds
Crossing and Jaycee parks have had ash and sugar maple planted in them.
The trees in the nursery won't be ready for 3-4 years.
CARROLL S WOOD3 UPDATE: Tom Reller met with Dave, Mark ,and Pat Jostad
and Dan Newbauer, naturalists. They walked the Carroll 's Woods Park to
look at the wildlife and plant life. They found that buckthorn, a non-
PARRS & RECREATION COMMITTEE
MAY 21, 1990
PAGE 2
native species, has over grown the woods in the northern area. Once
the buckthorn is controlled the native trees will come back, like the
elm. The Dutch Elm disease destroyed the woods and the trees were
removed by a logging company that left wide trails throughout the
woods. Some large black cherry trees are in the woods. A rare bird was
spotted by Dan Newbauer, he will report that to the state DNR. Pat
Jostad is interested in working with the small plant life found on the
floor of the woods.
Dave suggested that we request some naturalists to observe the woods
and draw some direction from what we learn from them. Tom Reller
suggested that we decide want the park will be used for, such as hiking
and cross country skiing. Jerry Puciaty said before a committee is
formed more information should be collected. Dave said that the Parks
Recreation Committee should discuss hiring a naturalist and have
specific items to discuss at the next meeting such as what should be
left alone in the woods and what should be changed. The naturalist can
lay out criteria of what can be done and guidelines for that.
Deanna Simpson commented that the woods are being used for education
and this should continue and increase. Study of the ecosystems for
biology classes from the school are important. Also, Deanna felt that
the cross country skiing is beneficial and should be allowed.
Aesthetics and safety need to be combined when planning the trails.
The naturalists should be able to advise us of some alternatives with
suggestions on possible uses and species to be careful of.
Larry Walsh commented that the Recreational Dept. also should be able
to use the park for programs.
Ron Jacobson would like to see the long range plan developed. The
process should be defined and fair public participation for the
preservation and use of the woods.
MOTION by Jerry Puciaty to hire two different naturalist for a maximum
of eight hours each, not to exceed $200 each, to give us a
determination and direction in writing. SECOND by Tom Reller. Motion
carried.
WINDS CROSSING: (Dir. Bechtold requested it be moved up on the agenda,
Chairperson McKinley agreed. ) The original park dedication was 6. 5
acres with a holding pond within this area. Some complaints were made
about parking on the streets so a parking lot was put in on the eastern
boarder of the park. The land is rock and gravel base which has poor
drainage. A cut slit seeder was used in the park to improve the soil.
The ground is not landscaped or level. Dave asked for audience input
regarding this park, a special mailing was sent to 1600 area residents
asking participation and three guest attended this meeting.
Larry Walsh commented that the holding pond looked terrible and
wondered if the Parks Dept. was responsible for maintenance. Dave said
the Utility Dept. is responsible for that. Jerry commented that
possibly the area should be fenced, as we did in Connemara Park. A
beautification project for the holding pond area will be addressed at a
department head meeting.
Park Engineering Tech Boyd Bailey said the land south of the park is
potential land for park expansion. It is 3 .5 acres which is 700 feet
PARRS & RECREATION COMMITTEE
MAY 21, 1990
PAGE 3
in length and 105 feet in width. This would be enough room for
redesigning the park.
Jerry Puciaty said we should address Winds Crossing Park as a semi-
active park also as well as some other neighborhood parks. Right now
the emphasis is on the parking area and land plat dedication. Someone
in the audience complained of the parking. With two games going at
once the cars line Chippendale and Cornell Trail. This also makes it
dangerous for children walking to the playground area.
Tom Reller agreed it is a hazard driving "through" on Cornell at times.
Chippendale is a state aid road. Reller suggested doubling the parking
lot size to 50 cars next to Chippendale Ave.
The guests would also like to see a hard surface basketball court, more
swings, better slides, and more playground equipment.
Bailey commented the park is "set" for electricity and water. A
transformer is needed in the southeast corner of the park. The water
is to the southeast corner by the parking lot. Chippendale is a state
aid road.
The Comprehensive Guide Plan is being revised. In it we can define
what a neighborhood park is and what direction development should
take. Then the purpose of the park will be clear as to who and how
many the park could service.
McKinley thanked the audience for their input.
FLOWER GARDEN: Deanna Simpson reported that rain has postponed
planting. A group of 12 citizens gathered at "Big Daddy's" to discuss
the project. Nurseries will be contacted for donations and plantings.
The grading needs to be sloped for visual effect. Wood chips will be
used as mulch. Parks & Rec Committee members, volunteers and those who
donate items could celebrate with a gathering when the project is
completed. Joosten said the Arboretum has some kind of marker that can
be used on trees saying, "This Tree Has Been Donated by . . . " . A list
is being kept of contributors. Irrigation for this area was approved
by council May 15, 1990. At that meeting Marie Jensen commented that it
was very exciting to see the progress in the garden.
Deanna inquired if there was insurance covering the volunteers. Dir.
Bechtold will check on this.
TWIN PODDLES: The parking is inadequate and should be increased to 30
vehicles. Because of the issue of it being a holding pond it wouid be
necessary to inform the Utility Department. A shelter is also planned
for this park in the 1992 budget. A general upgrade for playground
equipment is also needed. Puciaty commented that it is unsafe crossing
Dodd Blvd. More signs and road crossings could improve this. The city
engineer will be requested consider this in a report to committee on
the safety of the Dodd Blvd. crossing because of the concerns of the
Parks & Rec. Committee. If a safe crossing can not be provided, other
considerations for park uses should be considered. This could be to
abandon the park. The Director stated that although this might be a
consideration, it would set a very unhealthy president. Rather we
should continue to work to correcting and developing a safe crossing.

JAYCEE PARR: The Jaycees have donated more than $70, 000 toward this
park. John Howard, a member of the Jaycees, said it would not hurt to
have someone solicit funds at one of their meetings. He also felt that
once the shelter is built donations will be directed to youth
development. January 1991 would be the best meeting to go to. More
discussion will take place on this issue before anyone goes to solicit.
MOTION by John Howard to have a Parks and Recreation Committee member
solicit the Jaycees for funds at the January 1991 meeting and report
the donation goals of that group. SECOND by Jerry Puciaty.
ARMORY UPDATE: A levy is being considered that would provide $95, 000
a year. There will be a public hearing set for the end of June.
BUDGET PURCHASES: Dir. Bechtold gave members a list of additional
equipment purchases and staff changes. See attached document. He will
present this to council for approval at the June 19, 1990, meeting.
R Q:;:>:<:'i R:
Jerry Puciaty: The informational signs are in need of repair in
Erickson Park.
Larry Walsh: The soccer field in Connemara Park looks great but down
toward the holding pond there is nothing but dirt. Dave explained that
the water level comes that high and the grass seed won't germinate.
Larry would like the Park Dept. to have access to the aerial
photography being done by the county for future planning. At the next
meeting he would like to address the plans of Winds Crossing to form a
statement regarding the park, then advertise the next meeting to bring
in neighbors from a different area.
Del Lorentzson: Nothing at this time.
Lois McKinlev: reported that the "Bike-a-thon" has been rescheduled to
June 9, at 9: 00 a.m. Prizes have been donated by area businesses.
Flyers have been posted.
The boulevards are easements that the public works department has
access to.
Buckthorn has ov rgrown the Carroll 's Woods Park. Please have someone
identify the plant so we know what to look for.
McKinley noted that the ballfields in Winds Crossing are situated so
that children can walk between the fields to get to the playground
equipment, which is safe. She supported a redesign of the park area
when more land is obtained.
John Howard: Fields #4 and #5 (in Erickson Park) are not going to have
lighting because the distance is too long and costly to bring in the
electricity. The cost would be too great to get just an hour per night
on the fields additional use.
Deanna Simpson: Request that the Shannon Hills development plat should
be addressed at the next meeting. Please put it on the agenda.

SECOND by Deanna Simpson. Motion carried.
AUDIENCE INPUT: Tom Neuman, representing Rosemount Athletic
Association (RAAA) would like the Parks & Recreation Committee to
be represented at their monthly meetings. The meeting day has
been changed to the third Tuesday of the month hoping to include
a few more people from the City. RAAA has been able to work
together with the City very successfully in the past. Three new
goal stands have been made with the help of the Parks Dept. ; the
in-house soccer team raised $1100 a set, the City welded them and
Tom Neuman got the material at cost. Director Bechtold remarked
that this cooperative relationship has been beneficial for both
organizations and we would like to see it continue.

CARROLL 3 WOODS CONCERNS: Director Bechtold introduced Mr. Dave
Sames from the State of Minnesota Economic Trade and Development
Department. This was the office that issued the grants for
Carroll 's Woods in 1976 and 1981. Mr. Sames was not working in
that office at that time the grants were approved, but he has
pieced together chronologically the events relating to these
grants.
The 1976 grant of $100, 000 was primarily for acquisition of the
land. The Environmental Assessment Statement said that the
primary purpose was to protect the natural character of the
forest area and pursue educational and recreational areas as
well. A conceptual site plan was required which showed a one
loop trail system with picnic areas through Carroll 's Woods.
The 1981 grant of $50,000 had a conceptual site plan showing
picnic and rest stop sites, paved trails for handicap use in
Carroll 's Woods and future development of trails on the eastern
boarder. The City is obligated to those plans.
ROSEMOUNT PARRS & RECREATION COMMITTEE
APRIL 16 1990
PAGE 2
A drainage ditch was installed in the park which should have
received approval from the grant office prior to its
installa tion. Mr. Sames commented that this is subject to review
and "possible" conversion if the recreational area is adversely
affected. A conversion is lengthy and expensive so the grant
office would like to work with the City in a mutual concerns
effort. The drainage ditch was a Utility issue and the Parks &
Recreation Committee was never consulted.
The 1981 site plan would be counter to the 1976 site plan. Mr.
Sames would not like to see that amount of development done. A
woodchip trail would be appropriate. He recommends that we
consult with a naturalist, move away from the 1981 site plans,
and re-evaluate the long range purpose for this property. The
Regional Hydrologist for Dakota County could assess the changes.
Mr Kranz, the area representative will help re-write the grant
and put in it a "purpose statement" . The City is under no
obligation to the grant office to continue with the picnic areas
or parking lot.
It was recommended that a three year time period would be normal
for completion of site plan work submitted for a grant. However,
it is fairly common for cities to take longer. This grant took
until 1984 to be worked with paved trails, the bridge, and other
renovations of logging trails.
Mr. Sames can not determine if the 1976 grant was ever compared
to the 1981 grant. Their office was much busier at that time.
Now they do require that previous grant information is supplied
with the application for comparisons of interest and intent.
Ron Pederson, representing the citizen's group supporting the
preservation of Carroll 's Woods, requested an overall intent
statement. An examination of other area parks would be helpful
in knowing what is expected. Mr. 5ames office does not keep that
type of information. Some surrounding cities that have similar
park lands are Bloomington, Eden Prairie, and Burnsville. There
would not be any funds available from Mr. Sames grant office for
planning. The Land and Conservation Dept. may be of some help.
Mr. Pederson wanted to stress that they want the woods left as
natural as possible. The Parks & Recreation Committee should
research and take time to investigate so the total purpose for
the land can be detailed with guidelines as to how replacement
trees and underbrush can be handled. Also communication with the
community at large must be maintained.
Director Bechtold maintained that we all want about the same
thing. The five year concept determined by the city budget does
not explain the intent to those who are not totally involved. We
have learned that the purpose statement is needed and will be
used with any future development. This statement will take some
time to complete properly. The final decision will remain up to
ROSEMOONT PARRS & RECREATION COMMITTEE
APRIL 16, 1990

the Parks & Recreation Committee to make. That statement will be
adhered to. It will be recorded and any deviations will require
a motion by the Parks & Recreation Committee for the chance to be
approved. All changes will then also be recorded.
Pat Jostead who designed the Highland Nature Center said that the
natural resources don't just stay if the surrounding area is
changed. They have a very delicate balance in nutrients, sun
light and moisture. First, what needs to be done is the
identification of plant and wildlife down to the littlest of
plants. A site analysis is necessary to show soil-chemical
combinations; the biological balance must be kept. She suggests
not summarizing but starting over. She also believes that hiking
and cross country skiing trails should not be combined.
A site analysis would help bring management steps forward. There
is an art to finding where trails can go with losing a minimum
amount of rare or hard to generate plant life. A naturalist
would have to be consulted for a minimum of six hours for a
consultation. Then observation during each season to see
pattern.
Ron Jacobson commented that he is encouraged by Dave Bechtold's
and the Parks & Recreation Committee's response. He said "Even
our group does not agree on what should be done. " He would like
to suggest that the process be defined, long range development
policy plan be started and a recommendation be given to the City
Council for all parks not just Carroll 's Woods. Marge Ryan of
Shannon Hills asked about the parking lot and play area to be
placed in the south end of Carroll 's Woods. She would like to
see the plat changed as far as the park dedication land there.
This is being researched, it would not be a simple matter.
Director Bechtold related the fact that the park land in the
Shannon Hill Plat also is needed for providing play area for
children. . He recommends no change from this plat. The design
could best be changed from parking to a larger play area.
It was also noted that a entry on the south would be a natural
short cut to the school and increased pedestrian traffic. All
students who live within one mile of the school must walk.
Council Member Willcox was on the Storm Water Master Plan
Committee and he commented on the drainage of Carroll 's Woods.
Only natural local rain would drain into it, none is diverted
from nearby land.
Director Bechtold said his office is always open for discussion
and ideas.

carried.
Chairperson McKinley requested volunteers to be on a committee to
determine a plan for Carroll 's Woods. At the next meeting each
Parks & Recreation Committee member will select a person to be on
this committee. A newspaper ad should be run for interested
people. It will be determined at the next meeting if a sub-
committee will be formed.
Director Bechtold thanked Mr. Sames for coming and the audience
for their input.
TWIN PUDDLES UPDATE: Mr. Hefti, Public Works Director, will
present to the Utility Commission a safe pedestrian crosswalk on
Dodd Road. Parking will be scheduled on the south side only when
the parking lot is constructed. .
DODD ROAD BIRE TRAIL UPDATE: Surveying has begun. The
feasibility report and surveying cost of $4, 100 is for
Chippendale to Shannon. . It will include areas from Chippendale
to Shannon Parkway and Shannon to Diamond Path.
SUMMARY OF RECREATIONAL PROGRAMS: Lisa Jost presented the new
Park Reservation Forms. This will be the first year we have
charged. There will be an evaluation at the end of the year to
determine its effectiveness. The Park Ordinance does not allow
alcohol which is stated in the Park Rules that are handed out to
each user.
Jane Mollman headed the Easter activities for about 60 kids.
They went bowling, to the Science Museum, played mini-golf and
had an egg hunt at Camp Sakajawea.
The Jaycees also sponsored an egg hunt for about 250 kids. Next
year Lisa would like to expand the program and work with the
Jaycees on possibly combining the Easter Programming into a
larger schedule.
The area city's program directors had a meeting. The middle age
children have a great need for further program development; i.e.
trips, outings, sports. The programs we have need to be promoted
more; the school district does not allow flyers to be passed out
at school. Student council can help get the information out.
Earth Week activities includes Arbor Day. On May 19th there will
be a tree planting seminar at 10:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Parks
Improvement Day is May 19th. June 2nd the Flower Garden near
City Hall will be worked on. A series of runs will begin with
the May 5th Run at Eagan. Cindy Schumann will be in charge of
the puppet wagon this summer.

UPDATE OF ARMORY COMMITTEE: Dir. Bechtold reported that a larger
facility has been committed to our area. Legislation is in
process for a levy which would raise $95, 000 a year for
additional costs. Then a bond issue would not be necessary.
Larry Walsh thought that there is not sufficient land for the
larger armory.
UPDATE ON TOWId GREEN: At the last meeting the official name was
chosen, "Erickson Park Community Square" .
FLOWER GARDEN - ERICRSON PARR: The time frame must be
coordinated with Rich Hefti in Public Works because some sewer
lines need to be brought up to grade in the area. Water will be
available. Some large trees will be planted with scoops and then
the flowers. We want this to be a permanent site. City Council
made a motion to accept this area as the Perennial Gardens. 15
people have already volunteered to help. It will be about 75 ft.
by 60 ft. to start with. Some rocks will be moved for use in the
garden.
BUILDING TRADES STAFF REOUEST: Applications for the Maintenance
II - Building Trades Position are pouring in. Over 100 have been
received. Interviews will b e conducted in about three weeks.
ADDITION OF PARRS III TO STAFF POSITIONS: A supervisors position
which was promoted within current staff was approved by City
Council.
SPECIAL INVITATIONS FOR RESIDENTS TO ATTEND MEETINGS: Dir.
Bechtold felt that a park could be targeted and then residents
near that park could be mailed an invitation to attend the Parks
Recreation Committee meeting. Surveys could be done to find out
how people feel about the size and type of play ground equipment,
dogs in the parks, policing the parks, etc.
MOTION by John Howard to have Dave Bechtold and/or Lisa Jost do a
brochure or an article for the newspaper for the Winds Crossing
Park residents to attend the next meeting. SECOND by Deanna
Simpson. Ayes: 5. Nays: 0. Motion carried.
UPDATE ON SHANNON PARR SPRING WORR: Dir. Bechtold advised that
the grading of the park was incorrect but the irrigation had
already been put in so the contractor will make the changes with
the School District being liable. This contract is not signed
yet for maintenance between the City and school on the site when
it is finally completed.
REFORESTATION UPDATE - NIIRSERY & CONCEPTS: A water line for
irrigation to Erickson Park will be installed for a nursery and
reforestation program from park dedication funds.

LOIS MCKINLEY - How did park land "revert back to developer"? If
a plat is altered for park dedication at our request it would be
at our expense.
DEANNA SIMPSON - Sighted a bluebird using one of the new houses
in Erickson Park. It's a good sign.
JOHN HOWARD - Has concerns about Jaycee Park land. Dir. Bechtold

represented by Kary Johnson, have given $22, 000 toward the park
shelter this year. The total of their donations towards this
shelter are approximately $75, 000.
TOM RELLER - He reminds us that for every naturalist there is a

DATE: Apri1 13, 1990
R: Items on Apri1 16, 1990 Agenda
There will be additional discussion of Carrolls Woods Park at the April
16th meeting. Mr. Sames from fihe grant office will be attending to meet
with us and othe r citizens that might be attending the meeting.
Although there will be a continued interest in the past intents for use
of the park there is also a need for discussion of the present state of
the park and "where we go £rom here".
Attached you will find "draft" of a general policy statement that I
wrote pertaining to the park. I feel it does a more than fair job of
identifying our thoughts and eoncerns pertaining to several issues.
Use of this park must be available to all of our citizens. To
accomplish this and yet to focus attention on the preservation of as
many trees as possible is our mission.
The meeting on Apri1 16th will serve as one of many meetings where open
interaction between the Committee and residents of our city will take
place. As we discussed at the last meeting "t}iis may be the time to
once again send letters to residents invitin.g them to join us to spend
an evening discussing issues that pertain to the park that is in their
neighborhood".
This memo serves to remind you of the meeting on the 16th and to also
wish each of you a very happy Easter .

CARROLLS_WOODS
1990
Park land located west and northwest of the Rosemount High School shall
remain known as "Carrolls Woods".
This park will remain a semi park preserve while allowing for walking
trails and cross country ski trails. Use of the park will be promoted
for all citizens of Rosemount.
Maintenance of the park is the responsibility of the Parks & Recreation
Department. Many of the programs and functions that take place in the
park such as the Haunted Woods program will be coordinated with the
Parks & Recreation Department.
I. TRAILSs
1. Design of the rails will be woofl ch:p trails to serve as walking
trails. These trails will also serve as cross country ski trails in the
winter months. Maintenance of these trails will be done on a timely
basis ta assure safe, well groomed surfaces.
2. The paved trail that exists from the parking lot area of Schwarz
Park through Carrolls Woods will continue to exist as paved trail.
Regular maintenance will be done on this trail to assure safe use.
3. A map will be drawn of all existing trails. No further trails will
be cut into the woods. Upgrade of existing trails will be done as
required. Ie; washouts along paved rail or across wood chip trails.
4. Trail width will be maintained at approximately twelve feet to
fourteen feet (12' - 14') in width. The width will be from the bottom
of the plant not the branches. Overhead branches will be trimmed so
that they are no closer than twelve feet (12') from the ground.
5. Trail location signs will be designed and installed for placement
along the trails. The signs will depict actual location in the park
where any particular sign is placed. It will also depict sign location
in relation to other trails and park amenities. The number of signs and
locations of signs will be at the discretion of the Parks & Recreation
Department.
6. Trail from park dedication on the southwest corner will be
completed to meet the existing wood chip trail. That trail will be
completed in a line starting at the top of the hill, down the slope of
the hi11 in an alignment that crosses the drainage ditch. This will
require and make use of a culvert in the area of the drainage ditch
t that the trail will cross over.
7. Trails wider than twelve to fourteen feet (12' - 14') will be
f identified for safety of skiers and walkers. In areas where new plants
s' . could be added the tyges and the process for adding will be discussed
with consaltant saurces such as the Carpenter Nature Center, Dakota
County Vocational School, the Zoo, etc. .

PARRS & RECREATION COMMITTEE
REGULAR MEETING OF MARCH 19. 1990
MEMBERS PRESENT: Tom Reller, Jerry Puciaty, Larry Walsh, Del
Lorentzson, Lois McKinley, Deanna Simpson, and John Howard.
3TAFF PRESENT: David Bechtold, Boyd Bailey, Rick Cook, Mark
Joosten, Lisa Jost, City Administrator Stephan Jilk and Council
Member Sheila Klassen.
CALL TO ORDER: Chairperson Lois McKinley called the meeting to
order at 7: 35 p.m.
ADDITIONS TO AGENDA: Review Park Reservations. Update on Broback,
Birger Pond, Shannon Park. Shannon Park Bike Trail Installation.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF FEBRUARY 15, 1990: MOTION by Jerry
Puciaty to accept the minutes as printed. SECOND by Del
Lorentzson. Motion carried.
AUDIENCE INPUT: Ron Pederson spoke in behalf of a group of
citizens regarding Carroll 's Woods park. The area is near 143rd
Street and Cimmarron in the Shannon Hills Development. They are
not just a "self concern group" but are truly concerned about
what is happening to the preservation of Carroll 's Woods. Mr.
Pederson was chairperson for the Parks & Rec Committee in 1972 -
1974 . A bond issue with grant money from the State of Minnesota
was used to purchase the land for Carroll 's Woods. Lee Knutson,
former mayor of Rosemount, was in the audience and confirmed
this. The purpose of Carroll 's Woods and Schwarz Park are to
preserve the woods and save the natural elements. Mr. Pederson
asked that we please work together to solve this seemingly
difference of purpose.
Ron Pederson owns Ground Development Inc. which is a home
construction business, so admittedly he has a special interest in
the area. Mr. Pederson read a report compiled by Ron Jacobson.
In it he stated that the city had not followed the rules of
notification for changes in the submitted plan in regard to the
grant from the State of Minnesota. A drainage ditch was placed
in the park. Some trails range in width from 6 feet to 13 feet
wide. He asked why the city has to chop down trees? The grant
application approved in 1982 was in violation of the 1972 grant.
Plan changes included a parking lot on the south side of
Carroll 's Woods. The passive recreation area is decreasing. The
trees need to be protected by a naturalist. The preserve is in
jeopardy.
Mr. Jacobson requested the following:
1. Moratorium for 90 days for investigation of grant
compliance.
2 . Moratorium for 90 days on the parking lot.
3 . City of Rosemount to provide weekly status reports.
4. Make Carroll 's Woods a preserve.
5. More Open Space Parks.

The background information was left with Chairperson McKinley.
Deanna Simpson commented that the grant application stated that
the 60 acre site be used for outdoor education easily available
as ark land, not a preserve. Jerry Puciaty said we have had
naturalists recommendations and that the area is considered a
high fire risk" area because of the thick brush and no
assessablity. Deanna Simpson mentioned that the neighborhood
access is the maintenance entrance and is not used.
OLD BUSINESS
CARROLL S WOODS CONCERNS
Director Dave Bechtold said that in 1975 the bond issue was for
land acquisition, not park. The grant application began in 1976
and continued through 1977 to 1979. The City Council advised the
architect Bouer and Associates to design the park. The 1979
concept plan shows picnic areas and tent camping. The Director
talked with the State Grant Office today and they indicated they
were willing to redesign the park with the city so it would be
acceptable to their office.
Ron Jacobson talked with that office on Friday and he said the
drainage ditch was in violation; the access points can not be
changed; the picnic sites can not be changed; and he supports the
trails in the 1981 grant. The State should have been notified of
any and all changes. Mr. Sames in that office is researching the
background also.
Jerry Puciaty agreed that the woods should be preserved as much
as possible, but emergency access is also necessary.
Facts
1975 - 60 acres purchased; $100, 000 by city bond
100, 000 State Grant
1981 - Park Improvements; $ 50, 000 from City
50, 000 from State Grant
The Director showed on the overhead projector the park plan. He
emphasized that the Parks and Recreation Committee is a credible
board that has invested knowledge, time and concern for the parks
in Rosemount. We really want the same results, the best for the
people of Rosemount. We can work together, replanting trees and
shrubs where necessary, installing bird houses and making
improvements.
Ron Jacobson contends that the original grant should supersede
the 1981 grant and be enforced for all time.
Director Bechtold said the original intent has not changed for
ROSEMOIINT PARRS & RECREATION COMMITTEE

PAGE 3
the park and the State Grant Office is willing to work with the
City. The woods can't be everything to everybody. We need to
responsibly determine the intent for the park.
John Howard commented that a common access would be better than
dozens of trails leading through the woods, trampling the growth.
Other options can be consider; a boardwalk could be built over
the swamp area, the trail could go further up the hill.
A MOTION to have Ron Jacobson and Dave Bechtold meet with Mr.
Sames of the Trade & Economic Development Office at the next Park
Recreation Committee Meeting; only necessary maintenance will
continue in the park, all pruning will stop after April 1st;
further studies of the overall intent for Carroll's Woods will be
done. The motion was made by Lois McKinley. SECOND by John
Howard. Ayes: 6. Nays: 1, Del Lorentzson. Motion carried.
The audience was invited to give their input at any upcoming Park
Recreation Committee Meeting which meets the third Monday of
each month or to contact any of the committee members for
information.
OUTDOOR SWIMMING POOL REQIIEST: Ed Barloon lives on the south side
of Cty. Road 42. He would like to recommend for the City of
Rosemount an outdoor swimming pool. The pools at the middle
school do not allow enough open swimming time for residents. Del
Lorentzson explained that we are not against such a project but
would be looking for more community support. The Armory
Committee survey showed only 25-30 of the community interested
in a swimming pool. Possibly dealing with the school district
would result in obtaining more hours.
Mr. Barloon's property adjoins Jaycee Park. There is a steep
hill that washes silt down and fills the drainage area. Rick
Cook and his crew will check this for cleaning. The Utility
Department will have to address the drainage area, a concrete
culvert collector may be needed. The development of Jaycee Park
will include two soccer fields and one little league field.
3UMMARY OF PARR WORR: The skating season was finished up. The
crew will help the street crew for the next month and continue to
work on trail improvements.
SUMMARY OF RECREATIDNAL PROGRAMS: Lisa reported that the
broomball season was finished up. The softball leagues sign up
began. There are about 124 teams. Umpire classes will be held
Wednesday and Thursday. A discussion of the Park Reservation
Procedure will be on next months agenda.
UPDATE ON ARMORY COMMITTEE: Del Lorentzson said that New
Brighton has rejected a new armory which the Guard would like to
relocate to Rosemount. It is much larger than the one originally
discussed and would allow more needs to be met for Rosemount. He
will bring up the swimming pool request by Mr. Barloon at the
ROSEMOUNT PARRS & RECREATION COMMITTEE

next meeting. Funding is still a question, the state may be able
to help with a grant. It will be discussed at the next meeting.
IIPDATE ON TOWN GREEN: Minnesota Green Seminar in Alexandrea will
be coming up. It will give input to assistance, grants, awards
and streetscapes. The last Town Green meeting was cancelled
because of bad weather. There is an 8 foot wide boarder area by
the Bus & Ride lot on Hwy. 3 where Deanna would like to plant a
flower garden with annuals. The next meeting will review what
Prior Lake has done with an "entry way" idea.
FLOWER GARDEN - ERICRSON PARR: A map was distributed of the
flower garden location. Some volunteers and business donations
have been aranged. The Park Dept. has promised the water would
be made available. An irrigation system is being discussed for
future plans, it was estimated at $2000. Ginny Christiansen from
Rosemount Gardens has volunteered to do the drawings. Mayor
Napper has volunteered compost. They would hope to do some
screening with vines. Also any donations of plants or time are
encouraged.
NEW BUSINESS
BUILDING TRADES STAFF REOIIEST: A Level II position with building
trade background has been requested. An Entry Level I would do
basic carpentry, i.e. hockey rinks; an Entry Level II would be
a b l e t o s o f i n i s h i n g c a r p e n t r y a s w e l l. H e w i l l b e u s e d ab o u t
50 in carpentry and 50 in general maintenance.
REVIEW PARR RESERVATION: This will be reviewed in detail next
meeting. Dog exercise areas will be posted.
BIRGER POINT IIPDATE: No further action has taken place.
Research is being done to find why the right to cash for land
can't be taken. The 100 year storm mark would be used for land
area figuring compared to the high water mark.
BROBACR DEDICATION OPDATE: The attorney is in the process for
acquisition of the land.
SHANNON PARR MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT: Last November I.S.D. 196
could not reach an agreement with the city. The School District
is short staffed now, but the Parks Dept. will not maintenance
the school grounds other than the athletic fields. A 10
retension has been held from payment until finalized.
SHANNON PARRWAY BIRE TRAIL: Only the east-west trail has been
completed to the park. The trail should be completed up to 160th
Street. The trails from now on will be completed on the north-
south trail as development occurs.
ROSEMOUNT PARRS & RECREATION COMMITTEE
MARCH 19, 1990
PAGE 5
Tom Reller made a MOTION to have trails extend to 160th Street on
Shannon Parkway. SECOND by John Howard. All in favor. Motion
carried.
COIINTY BIRE TRAILB: The county corridor system from Cty Rd. 42
at Hwy 3 to Diamond Path will no longer pay for maintenance after
this year. The city is obligated to put in the connecting
trails. Inver Grove Heights, Mendota Heights, and surrounding
park directors did not agree with this change. They requested a
new formula from the county. A response has not been returned
yet.
John Howard made a MOTION after discussion and considerations
given to the present maintenance agreement for county corridor
bikeways, we move to recommend to the Dakota County Commissioners
that no change be made. We feel it appropriate for the agreement
that has been used to run its course. We conclude that no change
be made to give the present agreement and trail design plan time
to work. SECOND by Deanna Simpson. All in favor. Motion
carried.
CHAIRPERSON S REPORTS:
JERRY PUCIATY - no comment.
LARRY WALSH - Would like to see the bike trail completed on
Chippendale from 151st Street to 160th Street. The final plans
of the reconstruction of Hwy 3 and Cty. Rd. 42 did not include
bike trails. The city does not own enough easement to complete
the trail at once, similar to Shannon Parkway. We could get
temporary easement to do the ground work.
Erickson Park area is to be designated as the Town Green Area
which will be bounded by Hwy 3, behind Corcoran Equipment to City
Hall and along the drainage pond, up to the Park & Ride to the
used car lot.
Council Member Sheila Klassen requested a motion of approval by
the Parks and Recreation Committee. John Howard made a MOTION to
designate the Town Green Project of Erickson Park to be the
south-west corner bordered by the drainage pond and city hall.
SECOND by Del Lorentzson. Ayes: 6. Nay: 1, Larry Walsh.
Motion carried.
LOIS MCKINLEY - wondered why Ron Jacobson is so hostile. She
felt the group attitude was NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) . In 1988
the same discussion was held with explanations that did not
satisfy him then either. When Mr. Jacobson was on the Parks &
Rec Committee he helped plan the parking lot and design a waiting
area near it with a swing for small children and parents.
DEANNA SIMPSON - no comment.
ROSEMOUNT PARRS & RECREATION COMMITTEE
MARCH 19, 1990
PAGE 6
JOHN HOWARD - Saw a motorcycle in Carroll 's Woods. There is some
heaving of the bike trails by Chippendale and Cty Rd 42.
TOM RELLER - The bluebird houses should be placed east and north
for best usage or to open areas about 100 feet from woods. We
can see how many are used this year and change location if it
might help. The DNR tries to encourage nesting for ducks and
geese, but the ponding area needs a consistent water level. He
will keep us informed about any programs that may apply to us.
DIRECTOR B REPORT: Director Bechtold congratulated the committee
on a meeting well maintained. A cooperative and positive
attitude is needed for community involvement. We should try
inviting residents again to meetings as we did three years ago,
going house to house.
Park and Rec Committee members are invited to attend a seminar at
Maddens Resort on beautification of park lands. The Park Dept.
would pay for the committee member. Additional family members
could attend at their own expense. Contact Lisa or Dave for
additional information.
MOTION by Jerry Puciaty to adjourn the meeting. SECOND by John
Howard. Motion carried. The meeting was adjourned at 10: 35 P.M.

Mr. Ron Jacobson
3647 - 143rd Street West
Rosemount, MN 55068
Dear Mr. Jacobson:
After meeting with you on Thursday morning I discussed the Carroll ' s Woods park
situation with one of my staff. He pointed out to me that we have funded other
projects in the area referred to as Rosemount Community Park and suggested that
I check our files on those projects to see whether any of them related to the
original Carroll ' s Woods project. I did check them and, sure enough, a project
entitled Rosemount Community Park and involving the original Carroll ' s Woods
property was awarded a grant in 1982. The approved project was a trail running
parallel to the eastern boundary of Carroll ' s Woods, just inside the woods, and
running northward to the athletic field area. The site plan for this project
was essentially the same as that which you provided me a copy of. It showed the
east-west trail through the southern part of Carroll ' s Woods as proposed future
development. I have enclosed an original copy of this site plan for your
information. While I do have extra copies of this site plan, I would appreciate
it if you could return it at some point.
I apologize for not having this information when you stopped in to see me. I
had not bothered to check the other Rosemount project files because there were
no others Tabeled "Carroll ' s Woods." Apparently the park complex has had
different names through the years as it was put together.
The other file material for this project was recently sent to the state records
center to be microfilmed. I am attempting to get the finished microfilm back as
soon as possible.
The site plan does indicate, however, that the city apprised our department of
their future plans for the park. By funding the trail project that was
accompanied by the site plan showing future trail deve]opment in Carroll ' s
Woods, our department was indicating at least general approval of that future
development. The fact remains, however, that we should be notified by the city
before any such development in Carroll ' s Woods actually takes place. We are
also concerned, of course, with the drainage ditch and holding pond which were
apparently completed without our prior review and approval .

Mr. Ron Jacobson

I cannot account for tne disparity between the original site plan presented to
us for Carroll 's Woods and the later site plan that accompanied this trail
project other than that the city had opted for a somewhat higher degree of
development for the area than originally envisioned. Our department apparently
agreed that such development was still consistent with the original purpose for
acquiring the area. I 'm not sure I would agree with that, but it is a difficult
call to make.
I do feel that the original purpose for acquiring the land is still valid, if
for no other reason than we may not have funded the acquisition project if it
were proposed for some alternative recreational use. Acquisition of natural
open space areas is a high priority. Future use of the property must take into
account the original reasons for acquiring the area to begin with.
Please give me a call if you have any questions about this information. Again;
I apologize for not having this information available when you stopped in to see
me.
Si ncerely,
v

3647 143rd Street West
Rosemount, MN 55068
Dear Mr. Jacobson:
Enclosed is the information you requested regarding the state Outdoor Recreation
Grant for the acquisition of the Carroll 's Woods area. It appears from a
reading of the brief environmental assessment statement that the original
purpose of the project was to acquire the wooded area to protect it as a natural
area with limited -recreational use (trails, picnic area and environmental
education). The ranking and subsequent selection of this project for funding
was presumably based on this information.
All of our grant agreements stipulate that the areas assisted remain in public
recreational use in perpetuity. It is possible to request a change in the
project scope, but such changes must receive prior approval from the state and
are usually made before the project period has ended (usually three years from
the awarding of the grant). A project sponsor may add additional facilities to
an assisted park if such facilities are compatible with the original plans for
the park. The sponsor should always check with this office, however, before
proceeding with any changes to the original project.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions or would like additional
information.
Sincerely,
l'e

The primary purpose t be acr.ieved wzroug' the acquiaition of this
60 acre aite ia the pro*ec icn of t:e na:rnl xooded area that ia beeoenir.g
less and leae in the met^c li an aree a. Roaeaou tt in Particular. Other
purposes are to provide cros •s docr rec^e3 ion and outdoor education
to the citizer.s o! Rosemolr:t ^at ia eas32y accessable to theae same
citizens.
A. Impaet
The acquisition of the acre rarcel will oro ride the City of Rosemcu.z
with its only natura2 area. i+ .ri12 result in the preservatior. of
woods that almost po i i•rley will be part of the residential sprawl
within fi Te years +less protected at ',.t.is time. `2:ere are no buildir.gs
or homes to be moved th•ss not creating a.y !ona of r.ardship for any
citizen. The acquisition of a .^.ature nr_a with traila will provide
the citi2ens o RoseWo:ri :o en oy t2:e peacs:til haz ony that onlp a
natural area can provi e. These woods also will serve as an education
tool for sc2:ools in Rese o t vr h sIl sc!:ools located within a mi:e
of the proposed park a.z thus L*:e par c o d e:12:ance their outdoor
education curriculum. :1ith no :a,jo: develoc rent in the plans, this
means that there ill be no dis:urba.Zce to .e existing land. Actually,
a maintenance pro8:'a a ef clear:ing up dead brush ri l enhance the beauty
of the area. Such items a erosin ar d diseased tres ori.11 be Wa tched
much cloaer by the city 'an would be i` privated ownership cor.trolled
the land.
k'ith proposed developraent all around.the proposed park, this acquisit on
will enhance the beauty and deeirability for people to build in F.oaemoiu:t.
This park will be a lasting tribute to the city because ',.his wooded
land will stand forever. As park land, }t:is property r rill give the
City of Rosemo t its largcst park and only natural area park• It
rnriill add in the education t;; the achool andcenhance the outdoor
edueation of the people of R.aeme.ult. It will icaprove the desirability
to live in Rosemount and thus ::elp private3 enterprise by bringing
more people to our hopptzg area.
B. Becnu e of the limit d plans for an; develepment in the area, existing
conditione xill not be disturbed. Clearing away of brush Prom the area
rill add to its beauty rather than take away. There will be no roads
conatructed in the area. Also, there is r.o induatry to causs any
kind of pollution to the drea. Ehviroruaental education will be part
o! the overall plan of the park. With the many fozms of vegetation
it will olfer a laboratory of laiowledge.
I
C. Taxes payable in 975 are estimated to be l62,706.00 on the market
value of 681,000.00 on *he 60 aerea being con idered in this application.
The school district will also lose taxes from this purchase.

E. Irrevereible Cortmit er.ta
The loss to the C:ty t.t:rcugh reao al of the tax roles ia tt:e only
irrever ible eoc 1 t'eaenC eonrt eted wiLh this partioular portSon
of the 60 acre park.
F. Alternative
Because this parcel ia t.e only wooded area in Roaaa ount, re feel
it i imperative •..hat re acquire no r. In our Comprehensive Guide
Plan pub2i hed ia 1971, this wooded area a mentiened ae s parcel
that should be acquind.
The only other alternate +ould be ',.he "do nothing" course. Ho rever,
to ineure that the land i ueed a *yhe C mprehensive Flan describe,
it is conaidered aeceaaazy to acquire the property.
If thi propertp is not acquired, then there rould be no recreational
benefits xithin a fe+ years time.

PARRS & RECREATION COMMITTEE
REGULAR MEETING OF FEBROARY 19. 1990
MEMBERS PRESENT: Jerry Puciaty, Larry Walsh, Del lorentzson,
Lois McKinley, Deanna Simpson, and John Howard; Tom Reller was
absent.
STAFF PRESENT: David Bechtold, Boyd Bailey, Rick Cook and Lisa
Jost.
CALL TO ORDER: Chairperson Lois McKinley called the meeting to
order at 7:30 p.m.
ADDITIONS TO AGENDA: None.
APPROVAL OF MINOTE3 OF JANUARY 15. 1990: MOTION by Jerry Puciaty
to accept the minutes as printed. SECOND by Deanna Simpson.
Motion carried.
AUDIENCE INPUT: None.
OLD BUSINESS
PARR WORR: Dave Bechtold reported that staff has been cleaning up
the Armory site, working on clearing wood except for stumps of
which will be removed in the spring. He suggested a sign, "Future
Site of Rosemount Armory", to be placed facing Hwy. 3 . Other
work included getting the bluebird houses ready and putting the
circles on the ice rink for the official broomball court. Along
with other general rink maintenance.
RECREATION PROGRAM3: Lisa Jost gave a summary of the Spring
Brochure, which will be mailed out this week. The Jaycee's are
having an egghunt the Saturday before Easter and Park & Rec has
scheduled one for the Thursday prior to Easter. Next year they
will coordinate their programs. A Minnesota Twins game is
scheduled for April 7th in conjunction with the German students
visit.
This year we had the largest broomball league with a tournament
which was a tremendous success. Jeff Folley was the tournament
director; he did an outstanding job of planning. City staff was
present to maintain rinks, which were in great shape, and aid in
organizing. The competition was excellent. Dave commented that
it was the best broomball tournament he has attended.
Congratulations to Lisa for a job well done! ! !
The ice skating lessons went well this year. Only one lesson had
to be cancelled because of weather. The Pom Pom program is going
well. We are organizing activities to go along with "Earth Days"
in April 22 - 28. Tracie Pechonick is coordinating USPCI, the
City, and Knutson Rubbish on some recycling issues to add to
this. Mark Joosten, our forester, may include some information
about Arbor Day during this "Earth Days" week.

The seven surrounding cities will coordinate the U.S. Olympic
Torch Run. July 2nd the torch will be carried through Rosemount
in the afternoon. The First State Bank and McDonald's are
sponsoring this in Rosemount. Anyone who would like to register
to run with the torch can fill applications out at McDonald's and
return them there also. The "run" will be from the VFW on 120th
St. down Hwy 3 to McDonald's. People who are selected to run with
the torch will only go about 2 blocks eaeh.
BIRGER POINT: Lee Johnson, Mike Wozniak and Dave Bechtold met to
negotiate Birger Point park dedication land or cash from Orrin
Thompson. Lee Johnson would not accept Dave Bechtold's
alternatives of land or cash. Dave insists that clarification be
made whether the right to negotiate for cash is still available
in this case.
IIPDATE ON ARMORY: Del Lorentzson said estimated prices were
received on items of interest from Boarman & Associates. He
commented that everything seemed very expensive. Next meeting
they will lay out realistic goals.
OPDATE ON TOWN GREEN: Deanna Simpson attended the last meeting
where the process and project were discussed at length. Town
Green is the name of the beautification process and the
committee. The name given to the project in Erickson Park will
be decided on at the next meeting of this Committee. She also
advised the committee that she will no longer be able to be a
member so she can devote more time to her flower planting for the
City. Rather than request money, the City Administrator would
like the City Council to sponsor a contest between architects
and/or have the Urban Design Team from the University of
Minnesota help with the design.
Fund raisers are being considered. None will be tossed out,
however, the people interested in them should move ahead on their
own. Each member might have an idea that he/she can follow
through on. Amounts to be raised should be within reason;
possibly to be used to purchase tables, grills, benches, etc.
rather than paying for engineers or architect fees.
There was a discussion on properties that could be added along
Hwy 3 to the park system of open space. Deanna felt that we
should not act greedy, we already have close to 125 acres of
combined park area which should be enough in this section of the
City.
MOTION by Jerry Puciaty that "Projects of Town Green should not
be paid for out of Parks and Recreation funds set in the budget.
Projects should be on a city-wide basis and paid for out of a
city-wide budget, independent of the Parks and Recreation
Budget. " SECOND by John Howard. Al1 voted in favor. Motion
carried.
ROSEMOUNT PARRS & RECREATION COMMITTEE
FEBRIIARY 19, 1990
PAGE 3
Town Green projects on a city-wide basis should be put into a
five year plan just like the other projects, including parks,
must do.
Deanna said that the Celebrate Minnesota campaign that was
mentioned in an article in a twin city newspaper indicated it was
proving to be an expense to cities with very few receiving grants
that they applied for. The Town Green idea originated from the
Celebrate Minnesota campaign.
Erickson Park Update: A shelter and two ice rinks are scheduled
to be added this year. These will be put on hold for about two
months until the results of the architectural study involving
Town Green is completed. The locations will also depend on the
city hall "Space Studies Project" being completed.
Shannon Elementary Maintenance Agreement: The City would like to
be able to do all the maintenance for the park and school at
Shannon. There are two athletic soccer fields and two little
league fields on the school property. No shelter will be allowed
by the playground equipment, only on the northeast side of the
school building. The City will not pay for the playground
equipment near the school. No agreement was reached. In three
years a shelter and picnic tables could be placed in the
northeast area. When the park fields are added there will be six
soccer fields and five little league fields here.
Bike Trails: Boyd Bailey handed out new Park Manuals which will
be updated as needed. County Road 42 bike trails have been
delayed from the budget for the last five years. City Council
voted to build it with consideration of further safety details
and desiqn. We are requesting bike/pedestrian trails on the
north and south side of CR 42 with the elimination of the Canada
Ave. cross walk on CR 42. The State Highway Dept. has plans to
update the lights and crosswalks on Hwy 3 and CR 42 in 1992. The
County has $62, 000 in their budget for bike trails. After this
year the county will only pay for bike trails that are on the
shoulder of roads. Dave suggested diverting the bikers and
pedestrians along Canada Ave. through Camfield Park to Hwy 3 .
Then the proper cross walk would have to be used. It was the
consensus of the Park & Rec Committee to support this concept.
Larry Walsh mentioned that because of the many turn lanes on the
south side of CR 42 it would be difficult to have pedestrian use
on the south side of that road.
It was mentioned that the traffic lights do not allow enough time
to cross the road even if you hurry at CR 42 and Chippendale.
The county will be alerted so that young children or older people
could cross without worry. Also it was suggested that additional
Pedestrian Cross Walk" signs should be added on CR 42 to alert
drivers.

Flower Garden: Deanna Simpson explained that the areas needed
would have to be someplace that would not be disturbed so the
perennial flowers could be started and remain for at least five
years, especially if volunteers are going to give their time and
seed. Some people have contacted Deanna wishing to help. A good
soil base is needed and bulbs and seed have been ordered. Adds
have been placed in the seniors brochure and the Park & Rec.
spring activities brochure to recruit volunteers. Hopefully this
group can meet with the landscape team. Rick Cook and Dave will
examine the area next to city hall for a possible flower garden
space as soon as weather permits.
NEW BUSINESS
Softball Requlations: A rule has been implemented stating no
beer drinking during games. Most cities now do not allow alcohol
in their parks at any time. Conduct during games can be
controlled more easily if the drinking is more regulated.
Park Reservation Policv: There will be a $25 fee for reserving
the park shelter. A $25 deposit will be needed to reserve the
park without use of the shelter. A copy of the complete rules
and regulations are attached for review and discussion at the
next meeting. Larry Walsh asked about security needs, Dave
responded that we have not had a major problem to warrant that
yet.
Citizen Requests: A request for an outdoor pool in Rosemount
came from a resident. Pools are not a profit making venture,
they are almost always an expense. A petition is being
circulated by a resident to find interested people. A young
resident requested a skate board arena. Because of insurance and
safety factors the City would not care to be responsible for a
skate board arena.
Purchase Tables and Benches: There is a shortage of tables in
the parks. Rick Cook will take inventory for each park and
provide information of needs. Benches are suggested by the
playground equipment also.
Request For Maintenance Position: Two positions were scheduled
in the budget this year in maintenance, a building trade person,
Level II; and a park maintenance person, Level 1. Dave will be
requesting the building trade position to begin April 1 and the
street maintenance Oct. 1 so that construction maintenance could
begin on several park shelters. Authorization to advertise will
be requested at the March 6 Council meeting.
ROSEMOUNT PARRS & RECREATION COMMITTEE
FEBROARY 19 1990
PAGE 5
CHAIRPERSON B REPORTS:
JOHN HOWARD - Asked about the difficulty at Jaycee Park with land
ownership. Broback Westridge Addition had 8 -1/3 acres park
dedication land and Wensmann had six adjoining acres. Brobacks
contract had a clause that if platting had not occurred by Jan. 1,
1990 a cash dedication of $50,000 would be made. Negotiations
with the City have begun and the City Administrator assures us
this will be resolved so park development can continue.
DEANNA SIMPSON, LOIS McKINLEY, nothing to add at this time.
DEL LORENTZSON - requested that city signs "Welcome to Rosemount"
be maintained with low maintenance plantings, wood chips and keep
grass trimmed near them. The "Park" signs which the City of
Eagan has offered to make during this slow season of year with
their router machine will be maintained by city staff depending
on easements and location.
Del would like to see more improvements on the cross country ski
trails. Direction arrows along with the "you are here" signs
would help. The one trail down the paved path to the bridge is
too short to make the turn and quite dangerous. A new trail
should be cut around to the north along the boarder by the
pasture going north and south by Schwarz Pond. Rick will work on
this.
LARRY WALSH - Voiced a concern that the ice rink bang board in
Chippendale should be rearranged to face east-west next year. It
was going north-south this year and many times the puck would be
hit out of the area toward resident cars and homes.
JERRY PUCIATY - requested additional playground equipment for
older kids, such as a basketball half court in Camfield. The ice
rink in Camfield was great this winter, many children used it.
DIRECTOR S REPORT: Director Bechtold explained that bike trails
had been agreed to be built from 160th Street to County Road 42
on both sides of Shannon Parkway. For on reason or another
trials were not constructed in the manner agreed to.
The change was that the trails were only constructed from CR 42
to Jaycee Park.
The Director would like to have the trail sections completed on
both sides on the section as yet not finished, that is from
Jaycee Park to 160th Street.
Committee members are asked to consider this project for
discussion at our March meeting.

The Parks Department will make a presentation to the City Council
on February 20, 1990 highlighting this years goals. In it the
Director asks for the continued support of the Parks and
Recreation Committee and cooperation of City Staff for a
successful year.
Park and Rec Committee members are invited to attend a seminar at
Maddens Resort on beautification of park lands. The Park Dept.
would pay for the committee member. Additional family members
could attend at their own expense. Contact Lisa or Dave for
additional information.

REGULAR MEETING OF JANUARY 15, 1990
MEMBERS PRBSENT: Lois McKinley, John Ho ard, Tom Reller, Deanna
Simpson, Larrp Walsh and Jerry Puciaty. Council Liaison: Harrp
Willcox. 2 qCt'V' r= i':_ .
STAFF PRESENT: David Bechtold, Boyd Bailey, and Lisa Jost.
CALL TO ORDER: Chairperson Lois McKinlep called the meeting to
order at '7 :32 p.m.
ADDITIONS TO AGENDA: A. Deanna Simpson added the topic of
perennial garden in Erickson Park. B. Boyd Bailey added the
topic of updated park maps. Dave Bechtold introduced Harrp
Willcox as the Council liaison to the Parks Dept.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF DBCEMBER 1$, 1989: MOTION by Larrp Walsh
to accept the minutes as printed. SECOND by Jerry Puciaty.
Motion carried.
AUDIENCE INPUT: Harry Willcox explained a proposal being voted
on by the City council in the next 2-3 weeks. The proposal is on
the process of selecting commission and commit'tee members when
their term is eoncluded. They are proposing to have the members
re-apply each time their erm is up. The idea is to increase
iconsistency in reappointing members to the committees. Most
often board members stay on the same committee, It is being
proposed that ci.tizens (already committee members) serve on a
diffexent board. This would broaden the idea' s to be shared bp
members because theq are in contact with different boards and
concep s relating to each board. (The ernphasis was on fi.he
consistency of the process of reappointing members. ) The
Committee members were not pleased with this proposal,
OLD BUSINESS
PARR WOR: Dave Bechtold reported that staff has been working on
keeping the ice rinks in good shape . Other worlc included working
on the specs for a six foot lawn mower, cutting dead trees on the
slope of Erickson Park by the rinks and doing maintenance on
equipment .
RECREATION PROGRAMS: Lisa Jost gave a brief summary of the on-
going programs. A new co-rec recreational volleyball league
started Jan. 5, 1990 at Diamond Path Elementary School. Five
teams are in this league. The mens 3-on-3 basketball league did
not get formed. There were five teams that voiced an interest,
however some of the teams fell through. therefore, the gym
remained scheduled for open gpm through April 7 , 1990 at RMS on
Wednesday night. One of the problems we had was that the plapers
were already playing in another league so two nights were
scheduled. Dave discussed briefly how this gym time had been
used by Rosemount in previous years for basketball league and how
the league was turned over to Eagan Park and Rec. in the "pinch"
for gym space. Park & Rec is not guaranteed to receive this gym

space i the future (this fall) . Community Ed. will re-evaluate
the community needs. If Park & Rec. receives the spaee, Lisa
will offer another basketball league.
The spring brochure deadline is Friday, January 19, 1990. Anp
member wishing to put an article in the newsletter should contaet
Lisa by Thursday, January 18.
BIRGER POINT: Dave Bechtold handed out maps of Birger Point. He
reviewed the highwater marlc and commented that Park & Rec. needs
the land up to the high water mark plus fiftq (50) feet. This
additional land is needed to be able to landscape and maintain
this property properlq. Administrator Steve Jilk supports the
Park and Rec proposal for this land.
Rich Hefti, City Engineer, advised Dave that utilities would need
the land to the 100 year storm water mark for use as a holding
pond. If Orrin Thompson fails to negotiate in good terms, then
we would obtain the land as easement for storm water runoff.
The Park & Rec Committee requested the developer to answer the
following questions:
1) Where can houses be built?
2) Drainage easement?
3) Park land?
4) Could we purehase the land? Having title would allow
us to do what we wish.
5) Has access road to property been determined?
UPDATE ON ARMORY: Del Lorent son commented that no meetings have
been scheduled for the last months. Nothing new at this time.
IIPDATE ON TOWN GREBN; Dave met with Council ember S, Rlassen.
She agrees there is a lack of understanding abo t what the "Town
Green" is. The concept was taken from Celebrate Minnesota.
Erickson Park has $106,000 budgeted for development and the Town
Green Committee would be matching that amount according to the
past Mayor if project would continue.
Dave has been appointed as a member of the Town Green Committee
by the Citp Council. He believes that although th idea stemmed
from Celebrate Minnesota, the timeline does not allow Town Green
to be completed this year, and so the two ideas can not be the
same project. Town Green needs to be a continuous effort not
just one project. Rosemount should continuously work to beautifp
the town. The Town Green can' t only be Erickson Park. It needs
to be citp wide. When the committee meets there wi l be a
reorganization" of the committee. This will include two major
areas ; 1) Town Green Committee and the citp staff working
together. 2) Establish a timeline, inel de financing,
scheduling of projects, staff , budgeting and the "process" .

Jerry Puciaty voiced his concern about where the money wil. come
from for the project(s) for Town Green. Dave replied that a lot
of groundwork needs to be done and a coordination of efforts,
Town Green is a term that has been given to a process hat has
been on-going in various ways and will continue to be a part of
communitp life.
Larrp Walsh asked who was representing the citp . David Bechtold
will be.
Lois McKinley commented that the ideas expressed by the Town
Green Committee haven' t necessarilp been bad, it just needs
direction.
IIPDATE OF GERMAN STUDENT PROGRAM: Lisa informed the committee
that one or two trips are being set up to offer to the German
students and the community. Sandra Sanberg has been the contact
person for the students' families. T el Lorentzson commented that
the students will be here earliex beginning March 28 through
April.
PSRENNIAL GARDEN IN ERIC SUN PARR: Deanna Simpson brought up the
project of a perennial garden in Erickson Park. Various ideas
were discussed. it was agreed upan that no vegetable block
gardening would be offered. Jerry Puciaty supports the idea of a
perennial garden.
Deanna will be advertising in the Elder-News and working with Jan
Stoven to find volunteers to seed, weed and design the garden. A
source of water is needed. Dave said with the shelter and rinks
being built in this area, water will become readily available.
Deanna will work with Dave when planning the specific site at
Erickson. The Town Green ideas {concepts) will be taken into
consideration in the planning stage for the perennial garden.
NEW BUSINESS
BUDGET SUMMARY: Dave discussed the budget in a brief
presentation.
ERIC SON PARg DBVELOPMENT PROJBCTS: Bopd passed out a concept
map and revised map of Erickson Park. The improvements planned
will be to take out the two hockey rinks at the latest possible
date, then to build two new rinks on the hillside east of the
current rinks. A multi-purpose shel er is planned to be used for
iny Tots, recreation programs, and a warming house for skating.
There wi11 be an add-on to this building in a couple of years .
Dave suggested that s ding be put on the MN Dot building that
would match the shelter . He wi11 be discussing hiring a
landscape architect to draw the proposed plans for this area.
These drawings should give us a be ter indi ation and direction

for the project. Nothing is established or set in the budget for
these plans.
Jerry Puciaty asked what the reason would be for taking the
present rinks out. Dave replied that the light poles are in poor
condition with some of the poles rotting and the control switches
are "shot" . The rinks are also set in the wrong direction.
Larry Walsh asked if there were still plans for the "bike stop"
in Erickson. Dave replied that the shelter is to be a multi-
purpose shelter and could serve as a rest stop for bikers.
Bopd Bailey handed out the complete park booklet with a map of
each park to the Park and Recreation Committee.
CHAIRPERSON'S REPORTS:
JERRY PUCIATY: He asked about plans for Biscayne Park and Twin
Puddles Park (southside of park) . Dave discussed the background
of Twins Puddles. It has been argued that Twin Puddles is both a
holding pond and a park combined; however, the Parks Dept. cannot
do anything for land improvzments. The area has to be identified
either as a holding pond or a park. First the park is considered
a holding pond and secondlp it is considered a park.
Improvements have to be discussed wi h the Utility Commission.
There are plans to level off Biscapne Park.
LOIS MCKINLEY: Twin Puddles has no parking on the north side of
it. People won' t parlc on the south side where the parking lot
for the park is located. It can endanger your life walking
across Dodd Blvd. at that site. Lois mentioned that the cover of
the Park Maintenance magazine had Eagan' s shelter at St. Thomas
Lake Park on the cover.
HARRY WILLCOX: He briefly reviewed the purpose of the land
purchase and design in 1974. At that time the citizens wanted it
to have a dual purpose. The city attorney said the land had to
be de ermined as either a holding pond or as a park. At that
time it was determined as a holding pond.
Dave commented that it is a public works situation to figure out
how to get people across the road. We don' t have jurisdiction on
where parking is located but Public Works has to help us "get
across the road" .
JERRX PUCIATY voiced his conce n about the parks begin
continuouslp worked on/improved. Dave is looking at a moveable
irrigation sgstem. This would be for watering the neighhood parks
and other uses.

LARRY WALSH; No comments.
DEL LORENTZSON: Asked if scoreboards were going to be put in any
of the parks. Dave replied that they are scheduled for 1992 in
the CIP.
DEANNA SIMPSON commented that there are sti11 some signs in
Carroll' s Woods that haven' t been replaced since they were
vandalized. The waq they are put in this year seems to be 0..
TOM RELLER said bluebird boxes should be ordered now if hey are
to be put up this spring. Dave approved of ordering 25
constructed bluebird houses. The estimated cost per house was
6. 50 for fully assembled houses.
People wi11 still need to check and clean these bluebird houses
regularly . Tom will contact people who have them and see if they
will help with this job. We can advertise in the local
newspapers, bulletin boards, cable T,V. , etc. , for our park
facilities.
JOHN HOWARD said there is a need for playground equipment for
older youths in Camfield Park. The equipment in the park now is
for tots. John and Lois will investigate what tppes of additions
might be best and report back to committee. John has received
feedback from neighbors about the equipment in various parks. If
the next park person hired has building trades, this person can
construct these canopies (roofs) over the park benches that will
be purchased .
DIRECTOR'S REPORT: Directox Bechtold handed out a diagram of
departmental roles. He briefly reviewed these roles for the Park
and Rec staff. Those were discussed with the staff in the past
months, Dave continued to sap that a11 the staff should have
input in projects ; and that a strong part of the department is
good communication between the staff and getting more involved in
projects and sharing of ideas. This includes all members of the
committee as welll
