ITEM 4 Citizen comments There were no citizens present. ITEM 5 Hosanna! 4th Addition preliminary and final plat Hosanna! Lutheran Church submitted an application to develop in conjunction with Ebenezer Management Services, a 93 -unit senior living facility west of the existing Hosanna! Lutheran Church. The plans also propose a 397 -seat chapel and future classrooms on the west side of the church building. After review of the site, there are no park and trail facilities identified that would be affected by the proposed expansion. A park dedication fee will be required. The facility proposes to build 69 units, consisting of 22 independent and 47 assisted living units. There will also be 24 memory care units. Using a reduced formula established by the Parks and Recreation advisory committee and approved by City Council when the Highview Hills facility was built, the Hosanna! project will be required to pay a total of $140,163.75 to meet the park dedication ordinance requirements. The reduced park dedication formula is spelled out in the planning report.

The project location is east of the Chart House Restaurant on the north side of Klamath Trail, west of Kenrick Trail. State statutes require a platting action, whether it be commercial or residential, to enact the park dedication ordinance. If a platting action is not enacted the City may not require the developer to comply with the park dedication ordinance. The property, on which Kingsley Shores Senior Living will be constructed, will not be platted. The property was platted several years ago and the owners paid a Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Committee Meeting Minutes, February 16, 2011 Page 2 park dedication fee. The developer will be required to work with the City to provide trails along the south side of Klamath Trail from Kenwood Trail westerly to the facility's west boundary. The developer will also work with the City in providing a crosswalk adjacent Kings Court. Also, due to the proximity to Kingsley Lake, there will be a 30' buffer around the shoreline. (11.04) Motion made by Boerschel, seconded by Peterson to recommend City Council consider approval of Kingsley Shores Senior Living preliminary and final plat. The developer will be required to construct a 10' bituminous trail adjacent the property along Klamath Trail. Finally, the developer is required to follow other recommendations outlined in the Planning and Engineering reports as they pertain to this plat. The developer is also required to follow the natural resources requirement detailed in the Planning and Engineering reports associated with tree preservation, grading, drainage, and erosion control and further recommendations by the Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District, if applicable. Ayes -6 Nays -0 Motion passed. ITEM 7 Parks Committee brainstorming session Staff informed the group that the notion to implement a round -up program at the liquor stores and on utility bills as part of a new initiative to develop revenue to help fund major community special events may be considered. Staff will talk to Liquor Director and Finance to discuss if and how the program could be implemented. Committee members propose that this money would be put into a separate account to fund community special events such as the Puppet Wagon, fireworks and others, yet to be determined. Staff and committee members decided that details of this program would need to be clearly defined and presented to City Council for review and approval. Boerschel commented that it's important to keep the cost of the trees low for the Tree Sale and to not increase the current profit margin. Staff will get details on the upcoming sale from John Hennen and share it with committee members. Committee members requested that the option of donating a tree(s) be prominently located in the literature this year and the donation process be easy to navigate. (There was some frustration last year for those who donated trees.) Member Peterson's kids attend Parkview Elementary and inquired why Lakeville flyers are not distributed in that school even though there is a large population of Lakeville residents attending that school. Staff replied that District 196 has denied our requests to distribute information at that location. Peterson will contact the principal/district and see what she can do. Peterson also suggested the possibility of working with the schools and/or contacting social workers in the school regarding opportunities for scholarships. Judy Hayes left the meeting at 6:39 p.m. ITEM 8 Parks & Recreation annual report Staff briefly reviewed the annual report and thanked committee members for all the work they do. ITEM 9 Unfinished business • Scholarship program has received $500 from the Lakeville Rotary Club. • Athletic facilities update: Football Association has requested an additional six fields due to 7th and 8th grade programs being cut from the school district. They have also inquired about a potential storage facility for their equipment. Zell inquired about using open space at Lakeville South High School for additional fields. Hayes commented on the condition of the turf with new practice/game schedules. Staff will work with school district and Football Association and keep committee members informed. Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Committee Meeting Minutes, February 16, 2011 Page 3 • Stoneborough Park update: Council approved the contract with Brauer & Associates to proceed. Staff is meeting with Brauer on Thursday. Trail will be bid separately. ITEM 10 New business Per Council's request, staff is conducting an analysis of the proposed re -use of the old Police Station. Senior Center funds will be used to conduct an appraisal of the current Senior Center ($1,300) and a survey of 200 members by Decision Resources ($2,000). Staff will present the findings at a Council work session in March. Due to rising popularity of the sport, staff is researching the possibility of constructing a frisbee golf course on the 33 acres south of Lakeville South High School. Staff estimates the entire project will cost between $15-$20,000 and believes it is feasible to have it completed this year using park dedication funds, grant funds, donated funds and sponsorships. Staff is in contact with someone who has designed 100 courses and according to him, Minneapolis has the highest concentration of Frisbee golf courses in the nation, but is lacking facilities in the Lakeville area. Concrete tee boxes would be installed the second year after player patterns are established. Fees would not be charged the first year.
