<br />Park & Recreation Minutes <br />May 13.1998 <br />Page 6 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />-Hockey rink 180' in length <br />-300' long soccer field <br />-Ballfield with 250' foul line <br />-Tot lot 40' across <br />-30' x 30' wooden picnic structure with picnic tables scattered throughout the <br />site. <br /> <br />Mr. Hasek reviewed the drainage flow on the site. The hockey rink will be 3 feet <br />lower than the street to reduce its impact on surrounding neighbors. He <br />explained why a sliding hill was not included in the plan. Mr. Hasek indicated the <br />360 acre contains 101 acres of wetlands. He felt the proportion of wetlands and <br />trees in the park was comparable to the wetands and trees on the entire site. <br /> <br />Mr. Hasek reviewed changes made in the park since the Park and Recreation <br />Commissioners' last review of the project. The lots which were previously located <br />south of the park have been relocated to the west with an additional cui de sac, <br />a lot added to the east, the hockey rink and soccer field have been relocated, <br />and the trail connection to the park has moved to line up with the sidewalk to <br />the Trott Brook corridor. <br /> <br />It was the consensus of the Commissioners to eliminate the tennis court at this <br />time due to the cost, and use the court for basketball only. Mr. Hasek noted the <br />fields and basketball court could be flooded for skating. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />Discussion followed regarding the wetlands. Mr. Hasek noted the large wetland <br />area is walkable and is not wet most of the year and canary reed grass is growing <br />there. He added that the City is considering this area for a regional storm water <br />ponding site. Some of the Commissioners expressed concern that the size of the <br />ponding area not be increased. <br /> <br />Mr. Hasek reviewed the proposed trails and sidewalks. A 60' road right of way will <br />be maintained with a 25' setback for homes on the cui de sacs. A 7' widened <br />area along the both sides of the roadway will be included for biking. A sidewalk <br />will be located on one side of the street with a grassy area between the street <br />and sidewalk. There will be a county trail along the north side of County Road 12 <br />and a proposed trail along Trott Brook. <br /> <br />Commissioner Anderson requested that staff ensure the grading in the park will <br />accommodate skating. <br /> <br />steve Wensman explained the proposed trail along Trott Brook. He noted this trail <br />will eventually connect with County Road 12 through Trott Brook Farms <br />development. There also may be a possibility of a trail linkage to the north. <br /> <br />Ed Hasek indicated the park will be included in Phase 1 of the development. <br /> <br />It was the unanimous consensus of the Commissioners to accept the following as <br />park dedication requirements for the Trott Brook Farms plat: <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />-11.2 acre dedicated park land (8.3. acres of upland) <br />-6 acres of trail along Trott Brook <br />-Balance in cash or park improvements as discussed <br />
