Staff reports and summary of current projects. With the recent constant rain, the Maintenance Dept. is struggling to keep up with ? mowing and herbicide applications. Crews have been working overtime to keep everything cut at least once a week. All seasonal maintenance positions have been filled. ? There seems to be a shortage of lifeguards in the metro area. Qualified persons are ? still needed to fill remaining positions at Lakeville?s three beaches. The new Aquatics Director has been able to recruit several persons for these openings but more lifeguards are still needed. Other recreation staff has also been hired and training is underway. ? Staff has been marking locations for park ID signs, which are being built and ? should be installed by the beginning of June. The STS will assist Park Maintenance with construction of keystone landscaping walls around the signposts.

ITEM #6. Review final plat of Zweber Farm Sixth Addition and make park dedication recommendation to City Council. The entire plat of Zweber Farm Sixth Addition consists of 41 single-family lots and is located north of Dodd Boulevard and west of Highview Avenue. Phase One final plat consists of six single-family lots. Parkland was dedicated with the original Zweber Farm Plat. The developer, however, is required to pay a trail dedication fee under the old rules. Staff recommends a cash contribution for trails only. 99.14 Motion was made by Lulf, seconded by Bonn, to recommend City Council approve Zweber Farm Sixth Addition the final plat of and accept a cash contribution for trails as previously agreed upon under the existing development contract. Motion passed. ITEM #7. Review final plat of Cherry Highlands Third Addition and make park dedication recommendation to City Council. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee reviewed Cherry Highlands Third Addition preliminary plat at their March 31, 1999 meeting. Cherry Highlands Third Addition final plat includes 33 single family lots, 40 townhouse units and three commercial Outlots. The single-family lots and townhouse units are proposed to be developed in one phase, with the commercial Outlots to be developed at a future date. The plat will include the extension of 175th Street to Dodd Boulevard and the extension of Glacier Way to 175th Street. The developer is required to construct a six-foot wide concrete sidewalk on the northwest side of Glacier Way with the development of Cherry Highlands Third. A six-foot wide concrete sidewalk will be constructed on the southeast side of Glacier Way with the future development of the adjacent commercial property. The developer is required to construct an eight-foot wide bituminous trail along the north side of 175th Street from the trail?s present terminus to Glacier Way. Staff is proposing additional land be donated to Cherryview Park to meet the park dedication requirements. The land proposed for dedication is currently zoned commercial and staff and committee members felt that additional parkland would be a better use of the property. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee, at their March 31, 1999 meeting recommended City Council accept the dedication of 2.13 acres of parkland to satisfy the park dedication requirements for the 33 single-family lots and commercial Outlot A. It was further recommended a cash contribution be accepted to satisfy the park dedication requirements for the townhouse portion of the development. Other opportunities may be available to add parkland to the west of Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee Minutes of: May 19, 1999 Page -3- Cherryview Park when that property is brought into the MUSA and is developed. The th commercial Outlots between 175 Street and Cedar Avenue will contribute park dedication fees when they develop. 99.15 Motion was made by Manias, seconded by Lovelace, to recommend City Council Cherry Highlands Third Addition approve the final plat of and accept land in lieu of cash for the single-family portion of the plat and commercial Outlot A and cash for the townhomes portion. In addition a cash contribution is being recommended to satisfy the park dedication requirements for the remaining commercial Outlots in the plat when they develop. In addition the developer will be required to construct a six- foot concrete sidewalk on the northwest side of Glacier Way and an eight-foot wide th bituminous trail on the north side of 175 Street from the trail?s present terminus to Glacier Way. Motion passed. ITEM #8. Review final plat of Harris Acres Third Addition and make park dedication recommendation to City Council. Harris Acres plat is located between Flagstaff Avenue and Pilot Knob Road on the north side of 170th Street. The third addition consists of 82 single-family lots. Review of the area for park needs indicates that a park will be needed, but staff feels it would serve residents better if it were more centrally located north of this plat and slightly east. The area preliminarily chosen for a future park site is outside of the MUSA as it exists today. In review of the Harris Acres Third Addition preliminary and final plat, staff is recommending the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee consider a cash contribution to satisfy the park dedication fund ordinance. 99.16Motion was made by Raymond, seconded by Larson, to recommend City Council Harris Acres Third Addition approve the preliminary and final plat of and accept a cash contribution to satisfy the park dedication requirements. It is further recommended that a park search area be identified west of Pilot Knob Road and north th of 170 Street when the area is brought into the MUSA due to the high population density in the area. Motion passed. ITEM #9. Discuss date and itinerary for annual Spring Park Tour. Parks and Recreation Committee members set June 2, 1999 for their annual Spring Park Tour.
