Dakota Heights Park Development Plan Suggestions and recommendations to Council will be these:
rth side will require rough grading of approximately two days, $1,000; a drainage Swale exist
rough the middle of the Park and this will be re- routed. This will give baselines for soft-
ball field, and add a natural amphitheater; the remaining acreage will have to be plowed at
$21 per acre for 6 acres; grading work will be done by Lakeville's Street Dept, possibly.
This will be two- day's time using both graders, with cost of machinery and gas; misc. costs
will amount to $500/ surveyor's fees will be $250; $400 will be needed for blacktop, benches,
and mix; approximately $100, and materials, for parking lot; playground equipment wd,l l be
$2,000 to install. There is a total of x$4,376. A possiblity of five days labor by the Street
Dept for hauling black dirt, etc., is planned. Steve went on to say that "much of the work
can be completed this fall."

(2) PARK REC 3 AUGUST 1977
85" PUD -S. Michaud reported that he had received a schedule yesterday, of reviewals of
"385" PUD application, with times set for informational meetings for other Committees, but
at P R was not listed.
77.53 Motion by•NF1WMTj "due to an oversight of the Planner in his memo dated July 29th,
the P R Committee is excluded on the preliminary meetings to consider the "385"
PUD application. A recommendation to the City Council is that this Committee does
wish to be included in these preliminary sQhedulings." Second was by Christoffers.
Voting "aye" were Christoffers, Nelson, Enright, Trued, Lange, and Lovelace. Motion
carried.
LAWCON grants applications have now been received by the Park Director. There are four-
written on different alors. The "yellow" application seems to be appropriate for asking for
funds to put lights on the Middle School tennis courts. There could be six poles, which
wouldlight three courts. (This is the amount that has the wing necessary for such a project.)
S. Michaud has explored costs and it would cost- $1,000 per pole. In paying for the use
of the lights, Steve does not recommend money boxes, as they are so readily vandalized. A
reservation system, such as Burnsville uses, might be better used here, also.
77.5+ Motion by Christoffers to recommend approval of above LAWCON grant application.
Lovelace seconded. Motion carried.
The "blue" application for LAWCON funding has to do with hiking, bicycling, and
cross country trails. September 15th is the deadline on this.
The "white" copy is the one that is being used presently. This is one used for
development. Committee is asked to come to next meeting with their suggestions.
This funding is all based on 25 -25 -50 basis: 25% City, 25% school, and %0%
4 LAwCON funding.
S. Michaud will give the Committee a summary of his proposed budget at the next
meeting, August 17t4. ID jackets will also be an item on this agenda.
77.55 Motion to adjourn the meeting was made by Trued and Lovelace. Motion carried.
Respectfully submitted,
D. Christoffers, Secretary mek
