grade teacher at Forst Hills. He wants to establish
a nature trail in the wetland area adjacent to the
school.

Erickson said that D.J. Tieslink had come up with the
idea for students to walk one mile everyday and this
trail would encourage them to study nature, as well
as doing the one mile walk.
Erickson showed the three different areas to be developed.
These were designated on the map by color. The trail
should be completed in 1-3 years. Erickson said the f
trail should be located close enough to the road so
it could be observed by the police to prevent vandalism.
Erickson added that he has written two grant proposals
for a total of $750.00. One is a teacher venture grant
and the other is a student service grant. He would
like the trail to be in memory of a student and her
mother who were killed in an auto accident last year.
Cross said that staff supports the idea of a nature
trail at Forest Hills and commends Chris Erickson for
his idea. The only concerns are that since the trail
will be located on City property, the City should approve
the trail location and the use of construction methods
and also approve any additions to the trail including
signage. Approval and permits from the Corps of
Engineers, DNR and Watershed District should also be
obtained, if required.
Lynch asked how long the trail would be. Erickson
said the first phase would be about a 10-15 minute
walk with the entire trail being about a one hour walk.
Vanderploeg asked if there are any residents in the
area that would oppose the trail. Erickson said the
people he has spoken with feel it is a good idea.
Kuechenmeister agreed that the trail is a good idea
and asked if any permits will be required or if an
EAW will be necessary. Erickson said he hasn 't spoken
to the various agencies yet.
I ,
Lambert added that permits will depend upon the type
of construction that will occur. The trail will most
likely not require an EAW. If fill is done, it may
require a Corps of Engineers permit.
Lynch asked if the trail will be built to withstand
heavier traffic by neighboring children. Cross said � .
that it is intended as more of a nature trail.

Cross added that Phase 3 of the trail will connect
to the trail along Baker Road.
Richard asked if parts of the trail will be covered
by water since it will be located so close to the
marshland. Erickson said he has never seen any standing
water in the area. He added that Northwest Racquet
Club may also be interested in using the trail.
Richard said he would discourage the use of the trail
by the health club because it may be used differently
than just a nature trail.
Lynch asked if funding from the City will be required
if the grant money does not cover the cost of the trail.
Cross said that if it is a wood chip trail, the City
has some wood chips available.
Vanderploeg asked for an estimated cost of the trail.
Cross said she has not walked the area at this point.
Richard requested a report back in about a year on
the progress of the project.
Three of Chris Erickson 's fourth grade students gave
the Commission a brief statement on why they were
interested in a nature trail.
MOTION: Lynch moved to recommend approval of the nature
trail at Forest Hills with the conditions mentioned
earlier.
Lambert told the group that this approval was only
the first step in the process and that this was only
a recommendation that would be made to the City Council
who would make the final approval.
Erickson will meet with staff to review the permits
that are required.
Kuechenmeister seconded the motion and it passed 6-
0.
Kuechenmeister suggested that on an annual basis, the
Commission recognize the schools who put forth this
type of an effort.

B. Request from Hennepin Parks Re: Deer Management Program
Refer to memo dated October 2 , 1991 from Bob Lambert,
Director of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources.
Larry Gillette was present at the meeting requesting
a variance to allow the use of sharp shooters to control
the deer at Hyland-Bush-Anderson Lakes Parks.
Gillette said there are always two sides to this issue
with both sides having very serious feelings about
the subject. He said that during the winter, the number
of deer diminishes at Anderson Lakes. There are 350
deer in the complex and the management program in
Bloomington may cause more deer to move into Eden Prairie.
The request is for deer to be baited into pre-selected
sites and using sharp shooters who would be either
Police officers or Hennepin Parks rangers.
Lynch said that the Commission is currently working
on a wildlife management program for Eden Prairie.
It is not known at this time how many deer will. be
coming into Eden Prairie from Bloomington because of
the deer management program going into effect there.
Lynch asked about the possibility of using transmitters
to track the movement of the deer. Gillette said this
is a possibility, but actual number of deer would be
provided before the program began.
Richard asked why the deer can 't be moved and how
effective this would be. Gillette said that it can
be done although it is sometimes not very beneficial.
The deer would be subjected to hunters if they were
moved to certain areas and less than 20% of the deer
would still be alive after one year.
Lynch asked how this number compares to those who die
of starvation or disease. Gillette said that normally
30-35% of the deer population die on an annual basis.
Bowman asked what happens to the deer carcasses after
they are shot. Gillette said they are turned over
to law enforcement agencies and processed for use at
nursing homes, etc, or they are sold to the public.

Kuechenmeister asked if an increase in the deer population
will be noticed. Gillette said it would not unless
there were more road kills.
Kuechenmeister said he does not see a reason for this
type of control based on what we know at this point.
Gillette said Bloomington is depending upon Eden Prairie
as being a good neighbor to cooperate with them in I '
making their deer management program successful.
Bowman said he feels that it is an assumption that
deer coming into Eden Prairie would move back to
w Bloomington.
Lynch said she understands the request, but is hesitant
to approve it because Eden Prairie is still in the
middle of working on its own wildlife management plan
which would include deer. i
Kuechenmeister said he feels this could be a component
to the wildlife management plan, but that it would
be premature to approve it at this time.
Vanderploeg agreed and recommended that the issue be
tabled pending further study.
Bowman said that the Commission is sensitive to wildlife
issues and should be able to respond quickly when and
if a problem with deer arises.
Lynch invited Gillette to participate in work on Eden
Prairie' s wildllife management program.
Gillette recommended doing an aerial survey of the
area to determine how many deer there are. Cost is
approximately $250.00 per hour.
Richard said he feels that Anderson Lakes is a unique
area because of its proximity to Bloomington.
Lambert said that the ordinance would require City
Council approval. If it is proven that there is an
unmanageable number of deer in the area, the request
could be reconsidered.

Gillette added that Jay Macinich, the DNR wildlife
specialist based in Madelia could be contacted thru
John Parker.
Vanderploeg seconded the motion and it passed 6-0.
C. Letter from Senior Center Advisory Board
This is an information item only.
Cross said that this letter was received in response
to the newspaper article about concerns by the baseball
and softball association on the shortage of athletic
fields. The seniors want to be more involved in the
decision-making process.
CD. Petition from Hidden Ponds Neighborhood for Trail Access
to Hidden Ponds Park
Refer to memo dated September 25, 1991 from Bob Lambert,
Director of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources.
This is an information item only.
Lambert reported that this request was submitted too
late to be included in the 1992 budget, but can be
added to the list of needs to be considered by the
Facility Needs Study Committee. It will be determined
whether it will be funded out of the general fund or
included in the next park bond referendum.

Lambert introduced Bruce Gaertner of Ingle and Company.
Gaertner has proposed building a nine hole par 3 golf
course on the northwest corner of the airport at the
intersection of Pioneer Trail and Flying Cloud Drive
in partnership with the City. This golf center would
complement a future 18 hole golf course. The City
would have the option of buying the golf course based
on 150% of construction and development costs during
the first ten years and 125% during the second ten
years. At the end of 20 years, they would have the
option of a buy-out by paying off the unamortized cost
of construction and improvements approved by the City
throughout the term of the agreement.
Lynch asked if the golf course would be impacted by
the proposed expansion of, Flying Cloud Airport. Lambert
said it would not be affected.
Gaertner said that Ingle is a family owned company
that was incorporated last year. Both he and his wife
are bankers and the family has owned a similar business
in California. Gaertner said that golf is one of the
fastest growing sports in the world. Golf courses
are crowded and there is a shortage of golf courses
in the Twin Cities. Driving ranges generally are not
run very well and this would be one of the best quality
facilities in the Midwest. The course is designed
with kids and beginning golfers in mind and would be
1100 yards long with seven par three holes and three
par four holes. The entire facility is approximately
90 acres with 10,000 feet for a putting course which
would be entirely synthetic.
Lambert said that if the concept plan is approved,
the second step would be for Gaertner to come back
to the Commission with a site plan review. If the
concept plan is not approved, the plan would not go
any further.
Richard asked when the course would be open. Gaertner
said it would be open next summer.
Richard asked if there is any financial commitment
on the part of the City. Lambert said there is none
at this time. City crews may be able to do some of
the work such as grading and seeding to keep costs
down which would lower out buyout costs in the future. .

Vanderploeg asked if this is the best location in Eden
Prairie for the facility. Gaertner said it is not >
planned for the golf course to be lighted at this time
and the airport has no problem with its location.
The land is ideally suited for the facility and the
driving range should be the safest in the Twin Cities.
Kuechenmeister asked if there are any environmental
issues involved because of the chemicals that are used
on golf courses. Gaertner said that there should be
no runoff of chemicals from the golf course and and
area has very good drainage. He added that more
fertilizer is used when farming the land and that the
most fertilizer will be used at the beginning.
Lynch asked what considerations have been given to
the wildlife in this area. Gaertner said that although
geese do like the mowed grass of a golf course, they
also like to be near water and there will be very little
water here.
Gaertner added that the facility would be made available
for City sponsored golf lessons on an unlimited basis.
Kuechenmeister asked if it would be possible for MAC
not to renew the lease on the land where the golf course
is located. Lambert said that the law would allow
doing this but there are no plans by MAC to develop
the land at this time.
Kube-Harderwijk said that the golf course will be located
in close proximity to Cedar Hills and asked what effect
it would have. Gaertner said it should have no effect
on Cedar Hills, as there is only one golf course per
243 golfers in the Twin Cities with no more than 25%
of the golfers able to play at any one time.
Gaertner added that the same concerns occurred when
Rich Acres opened so close to Braemar; however, there
was no negative impact on Braemar.

Bowman said that since this will be a partnership,
there will be some potential liabilities. If geese
gather on the golf course in close proximity to the
airport, there may be some danger to aircraft involved.
He asked also if the City had checked into the financial
stability of Ingle and Company. In addition, the costs
to maintain the golf course may be higher than
anticipated.
Lambert said that the financial stability of the company
has not been reviewed at this time. If the company
went bankrupt, the City would have the option of taking
over the golf course or leasing it to someone else.
Bowman asked what the projected investment would be.
Gaerter said it would be about $250,000.
Bowman asked if the City would have any control over
what is being spent. Lambert said that reimbursable
( costs would have to be provided to the City.
Gaertner said that driving ranges are the number one
revenue producing facility on the golf course with
golf carts coming in second. The driving range at
Braemar brings in $275,000 revenue annually.
Vanderploeg asked if this was the only site that was
considered. Gaertner said that it was, but there are
many advantages to the site. The price of land in
other areas would be cost prohibitive.
Kuechenmeister asked if an EAW would be done on the
site. Lambert said if it was required, it would be
part of the site plan.
MOTION: Richard moved to recommend approval of the
concept plan for the golf center and authorizing the
City attorney to work with MAC on a lease agreement.
Kuechenmeister seconded the motion and it passed 6-

Lambert said that the Commission had already recommended
proceeding with this idea. Lambert has spoken to the
principals and community education who had no specific
recommendations. Staff is recommending that a maximum
of two students be appointed to each commission with '
a one year term. A letter would be sent to the principals
of all schools and it would also be advertised in the
newspaper. Students would submit letters of application
and be interviewed.
Lynch said she is concerned with the length of the
meetings at this point and is hesitant having two students
participate.
Kuechenmeister said he feels that it would be easier
for the students to participate during the school year
only because it would be difficult not knowing which
classes or other activities they would be participating
in.
Lambert said he feels it would be more beneficial to
C have the students participate for an entire year, as
the announcement must be made during the school year
in order to get any response.
Richard said he feels it would be more comfortable
for the students if there were two participating.
MOTION: Kuechenmeister moved to recommend approval
for two students to participate on an advisory basis
on the commissions for a one year term. Kube-Harderwijk
seconded the motion and it passed 6-0.
B. Staring Lake Amphitheater Building
Refer to memo dated October 4, 1991 from Barb Cross,
Landscape Architect.
Cross reported that $17 ,000 was budgeted for a storage
building at Staring Lake Park. A double garage type
building was proposed, but the Performing Arts Committee
suggested a building on the stage which would serve
as a multi-purpose building both for storage and as
a backdrop.
The building faces southwest and to keep the roof on
during heavy winds, it will be necessary to use special
laminated beams and three S' square foundation pieces.

The Historical and Cultural Commission wants to stay
with the dual purpose building even if it means
constructing it later. Total cost of the building
is estimated at $48,000.
Lynch asked if it is typical to start a project and
wait for funding. Lambert said it has not been done
before and was only being recommended now because of
the radical (positive) changes in the prorject initiated
through the public input process. ' `
Lambert added that the footings for the building would
be laid now and the civic organizations might be
approached to make donations to complete the project.
Kuechenmeister asked what would happen to the cost
if pillars were added. Cross said that the architect
felt it would be more difficult to build and would
stress the building more to use pillars.
Lambert added that the overhang on the building would
serve several purposes including projecting sound,
protection during rain and a curtain can be added.
The roof can be shingled or made of pitch and gravel.
It is recommended that the roof be shingled.
MOTION: Kuechenmeister moved to recommend approval
of the concept plan of the Staring Lake Ampthitheater

Lambert said that petitions have been received from
various athletic associations expressing concern about
the shortage of athletic facilities. Staff has reviewed
the projections for the next ten year period. A survey
was sent to the presidents of the athletic associations
and these numbers were compared with the school district' s
Vision 2001 report which projects the number of children
that will be enrolled in the Eden Prairie school system
by age group classification every year from now until
2001. The number of each age group that was enrolled
in various associations were compared to total enrollment.
Staff projected the same percentages of participants
for each association for 1994-1995 and 2000-2001 against
the Vision 2001 report although staff used more
conservative projections.
Lambert reviewed the football and softball/baseball
fields that could be used during this time period.

Richard mentioned the possibility of splitting the
season.
Vanderploeg suggested using some neighborhood parks

Lambert reported that the survey indicated that there
would not be a sufficient number of participants to

Staff is requesting authorization to form a Park and
Recreation Facility Needs Study Committee as an ad
hoc committee to the Commission. It would include
representatives from all youth athletic associations,
senior citizens, someone representing the mentally
and physically handicapped, representatives from each
neighborhood that has petitioned for park and trail
improvements in the past year and possibly representatives
from all neighborhoods in the City.
The purpose of the committee is to identify needs and
determine cost estimates and prioritize the needs prior
to recommending a plan. Staff is recommending that
an organizational meeting be held on November 18.
An outside firm would survey the community to verify
the needs as the committee sees them.
Lynch asked why the time frame for completion is set
up as it is. Lambert said he wanted to allow sufficient
time to complete a recommendation prior to a park bond
referendum in May of 1992. Also, the large number
of people that would participate on the committee would
not allow it to go on for a long period of time.
MOTION: Richard moved to recommend approval to form
a Park and Recreation Facility Needs Study Committee
to begin with a November 18 organizational meeting
following the time frame recommended by staff to make
recommendations to the Commission and City Council
with a report to be completed no later than March 15,

Kuechenmeister said the the committee will do the

review them with the Commission. Vanderploeg is
working on the first set.
Kuechenmeister said the plan will also include
a map showing the wildlife management zones and
screening criteria. The wildlife management plan
is meant to be a framework and guidance policy.
Lambert said it appears that a nuisance will be
judged by the number of complaints and asked who
is going to create this number. Lynch said that
Bloomington has numbers and the committee hopes
to come up with numbers for Eden Prairie as well.
Lambert asked what the next step will be. Lynch
said she believes that it is time to bring the
experts in to talk to the Commission.
Kuechenmeister said the zones and screening criteria
should be established first.
Lambert feels this needs to be done at a sub-committee
level and should not be discussed during a regular
Commission meeting.
Lynch feels more people should be on the
