Home My WebLink AboutItem 4City of Lakeville Parks & Recreation Memorandum To: Mayor, City Council and Justin Miller, City Administrator From: John Hennen, Parks and Recreation Director Date: October 19, 2017 Subject: Antlers Park Master Plan Review BACKGROUND As the Mayor and City Council are aware, the City acquired approximately six acres of property which abuts Antlers Park that will allow for the park’s expansion. City Staff has been working with WSB and Associates over the past number of months on developing a Master Plan for Antlers Park. Staff and the consultant have received numerous comments and input from the community on the types of amenities they would like to see added or improved upon at the park. These comments were received through a Public Park Visioning Meeting, community events, an online survey completed by 914 individuals and finally, a second online survey which was completed by 277 individuals on three Master Plan concepts. These three concepts and ultimately a Preliminary Master Plan for Antlers Park was reviewed by the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Committee (PRNRC). The PRNRC reviewed and recommended approval of the attached Antlers Park Preliminary Master Plan on at their Sept. 20th, 2017 meeting. PRELIMINARY MASTER PLAN Attached is the Antlers Park Preliminary Master Plan along with an estimated construction budget. Staff along with Candace Amberg of WSB will present the Preliminary Master Plan to the Mayor and City Council which includes items such as; a central plaza, historical displays, children’s playground, ornamental splashpad with fountain, regional trailhead, and historic grande promenade drive and drop-off area along with many additional features. As you will note the estimated cost to construct the Antlers Park Preliminary Master Plan is $7.4 million. Staff and the Council will be discussing funding options for the project as a separate discussion item as part of the Work Session meeting. DIRECTION Staff is looking for feedback and direction regarding the Antlers Park Preliminary Master Plan.
