Parks and Recreation Commission Special Work Session Minutes Page 4 <br /> August 14,2024 <br /> others.The PT Complex is used for the older kids and DAAC is for younger kids. DAAC is <br /> dangerous for foul balls and one field has water build up. Commissioner Loidolt said that he is <br /> concerned about the train noise at Oak Knoll. Commissioner Niziolek said that he wants a sound wall <br /> to put into the plan and budget since nothing is currently listed addressing the issue. <br /> Mr. Paige pointed out that with this phasing plan so far is all rationalized with or without that piece of <br /> land north of the city being addressed.There wouldn't be anything wasted following this plan. <br /> Commissioner Niziolek asked if they could just do three rectangular fields at DAAC. Mr. Stremcha <br /> reviewed the current plan for DAAC and explained the reasoning for what the design is. <br /> Commissioner Niziolek suggested contacting the Sherburne County Fair to see what the plan is with <br /> their property so considerations could be made to create a core for all the fields or not have the ball <br /> fields near there at all. <br /> Mr. Paige pointed out that the plan for DAAC fits into the plan for programming for Parks and <br /> Recreation,not just as fields for tournaments and associations.The shared parking and fields there <br /> contribute to large events as well. <br /> Commissioner Niziolek reiterated that he thinks there should be talk with city staff and the <br /> fairgrounds about the future of that land. Mr. Stremcha said that if they are adding land acquisition <br /> considerations, the cost estimates will grow. He asked the commission what the size and scope of <br /> their comfort was. <br /> Mr. Paige said that relying on the fairgrounds for parking right now is dangerous considering they <br /> could sell and move.The value of that land is very high. Commissioner Goodwin said that one `, <br /> consideration she heard was something like a grocery store going in there. <br /> Chair Anderson asked the commission if they were comfortable with the seating arrangements at the <br /> PT Complex. He also asked Mr. Stremcha if the next step was approving the plan at a meeting and <br /> Mr. Stremcha confirmed the plan would come back to another meeting and be voted on. <br /> 3.
