Kingrey asked if the maximum number of people were getting the most 4 use out of the facility, or whether it was being used primarily by a few. lessen responed: that he felt that the operators of the stable wanted to ; limit the use pretty much to only the serious horseman who is most „s . interested in showing and training and very competent horsemanship skills s, rather than providing basic levels of service to a greater number of people . Kingrey stated that he felt that this should be understood by the Commission and the Council so that in the future the program can be more thoroughly evaluated. No action required. VI. OLD BUSINESS A. .Commission Goals lessen referred to the goals which the Commission had presented to them on June 4, 1976 and indicated that a couple of the items had already been accomplished and that work was proceeding on some of the other matters. Erickson stated that he felt that the adoption of goals would assist the Commission in the direction which they were taking and that the goals should be updated annually shortly after the first of the year. i MOTION: Helmer moved, Piercel seconded that the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission adopt the goals stated on the memo from Marty lessen dated June 4, 1976. Motion carried unanimously. t t , B. Firearms Ordinance - Discussion of Boundaries ; Director of Public Safety, Jack Hacking was present to discuss the rational behind the proposed boundaries on the revised Ordinance. The Commission raised several questions concerning certain areas in the community and the problems which had resulted from hunting on these properties in the past. Included in these areas were the Hidden Ponds area, Minnesota h Tree area, the Cal and Kenny Anderson area, and the Kerber property. w '. The Commission also questioned the possibility of having the landowner t_ post the land for hunting permits required in an attempt to discourage the "drive by hunter" from Just stopping and beginning to shoot without having first secured a permit. Hacking indicated that this would help because ( much of the problem was with people who have not received permits, and that two thirds of the people who do secure permits are non-residents. Minutes - Parks, Recreation & Natural approved Page 2, 1976 Resources Commission MOTION: Anderson moved that the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission recommend to the City Council that hunting be permitted in the areas included in the draft ordinance plus the Cal and Kenny Anderson marsh area of the Major Center south of Highway 5 , and the Kerber property west of Round Lake Park. Kingrey seconded. Motion carried 5-1. "Upton voted " nay" . Mr. Helmer left the meeting at this time. C. 1977 Budget Capital Improvement Items lessen reviewed the information presented at the last meeting for Capital Improvements on park development, equipment purchase , and miscellaneous. He indicated that money was available and encumbered in the Park Bond Fund for the payment of the Grill Contract but that should the City wish to do so they could levy monies in the 1977 budget for payment of the ' City's share of the Federal Grant to purchase this property, and thus have additional money available in the park fund for other expenditures. MOTION: Kingrey moved that the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission recommend to the City Council the inclusion in the 1977 budget the capital improvement items as follows: Capital Improvement Program Park Development $55,500, Capital Improvement Program Equipment Purchases $35 ,700, Capital Improvement Program Miscellaneous $37 ,700. Motion carried 4-1. "Upton voted '"nay" . Kingrey left the meeting at this time. Chairman Erickson observing the fact that a quorum was no longer present indicated that no further action could take place at the meeting. D. Capital Improvements Program lessen reported that he had received a request from.the Metropolitans Parks and Open Space Commission for an updated Five Year Capital Improvement Program for the regional parks within Eden Prairie . He distributed copies of the excerpts from the Metropolitan Parks and Open Space Commissions Five Year Capital Improvement Program developed during 1975 and early 1976 indicating that Eden Prairie would receive approximatley $3 .5 million dollars for Lake Riley, Bryant Lake and Anderson Lakes. He reviewed the Council action on Lake Riley,-when the Schaitberger Property was purchased which was to indicate that the City would not proceed with the regional park at Lake!Riley until further review had taken place. Anderson asked Pierce about the Council's action on this matter and stated his strong feeling that the best interest of the community could best be served by the establishment of a 200 Cacre park at Lake Riley. Minutes - Parks, Recreation & Natural approved Pager 6 Resources Commission August 2, 1976 lessen indicated that at the next meeting he would have a proposal for an updated Regional Capital Improvement Program so as this information could be provided to the Metro Council that they might include it in their revised program.

PETITIONS, REQUESTS AND OOMMUNICATIONS Southwest Bloominzton DeveloMggt`P,�ouosal Fritz Bahr Isaac Walton League Jessen introduced Mr. Fritz, of the Isaac Walton League, who had requested an opportunity to discuss the Southwest Bloomington ppo y Development Proposal, in conjunction with our Anderson Lakes Park Plan. +. Rahr spoke to the proposed development and its relationship to Eden Prairie. He explained that Orrin Thompson plans to put in houses of the "strip" or "row" type. There is a question as to actual number of homes. He said this would involve quite a bit of altering of the land by lowering hills and moving fill into lower area. He spoke to the significance of the major deer crossing going down to the Purgatory Creek and the studies made documenting location of the { ' deer during the various seasons. He added that about 250 deer have been seen. Rahr continued that Orrin Thompson is preparing an environmental statement to be submitted to the Technical Advisory Committee of the Environmental Quality Council, which will, in turn, be considered at the full meeting of the F-QC on Sept. 24. 7" He added that the Bloomington City Council has approved the proposal, but a grad- ing permit must be malved by the pd jolter $efore he can continue, and that he r must hear from the rr11 efore the a ven. k r Minutes - Parks, Rec. & Natural Page 2 Resources Commission iapproved August 16, 1976 1 Sguthw,�st H1ooa z' n Deyelouonent Proposal (Cont'd) A. Kingrey asked whether the City'a action was taken subject to environmental } statement? Rahn responded negative, and added that even though it was approved. the EQC can say "non. Garens expressed his opinion that he did not feel that we should tell- Bloomington M1> how to do its job, but felt that since this corridor has always been part of our plan, we do have enough interest in it to take some action. _ , Middleton commented that the Bloomington Park members have always supported us in the past, such as when we were first proposing the Anderson Lake Park or when the highways were widened, they have always taken the deer corridor into considera- tion. Kingrey questioned Rahr as to the status of the Environmental Assessment. Rehr responded that a developer can apply for grading permits, but must submit the environmental assessment before the Technical Advisory Committee, and the EQC can stop the project at any point. Kingrey asked whether the City of Bloomington would stand on the decision of the assessment. Rehr answered that they will abide by the u ' EQC's decision. Rohr added that petitions have been presented to the EQC with two groups of signa- tures: 1,400 from Bloomington and 400 from surrounding areas of Bloomington. Jessen asked to what extent the Hennepin County Reserve District Board has been involved. Rehr responded that Mr. Weaver, representing that body, had written a letter to the City Council expressing approval of the corridor. 4 Rater suggested that a copy of the environmental assessment be requested by Eden Prairie. Jessen felt that we would receive a copy because we are involved. He 1: added that at the time the assessment is filed with the W.. they mast, by law. distribute a copy to all affected persons giving these parties a certain length of time to comment. He indicated that he did not feel we should get into Bloomington's land use decision making, but felt that Eden Prairie was definitely involved. sf '. Choiniere expressed his opinion that it was important that we make a reoommendation, regardless of Bloomington's 'building plans, because of the importance of what we are �+ trying to preserve. MJTION:Kingrey moved that we recommend to the Council that Eden Prairie issue a statement to the EQC that we support a complete and thorough Environmental Assess- ment to determine the effect of the proposed developments so that the goals of the �k Anderson Lakes/Tierne!r's Woods/Hyland Lake Parks Complex, which have been the basis of a great amount of public investment. can be achieved,; that the proposed Minnesota N River Valley Wildlife and Recreation area may be affected by this proposalt and that the City of Eden Prairie will be a participant in the review and receive notice of the assessment in the related matter. Upton seconded. motion carried with a vote of 5-1, with Choiniere casting the dissenting vote, because he felt the statement of support should be sent directly to the EQC from the PR & N Commission. Kingrey added a request that copies be distributed to the Metro Council, Highland Park Resez", Bloomington Council, Bloomington Natural Resomcces Commission: and Senator F_.. Mondale's office. Mimtes - Parks, Race & Natural Page 3 Resources Commission Aapproved August 16, 1976 Southwest Bloomington Dem Ig ►ent Provosal (contid) Garen commented that he preferred to take the action and inform the Council, but Would support the Motion. Rahr indicated that he would[ keep the Commission informed on any further developments. V. RECOMMENDATIONS AND Rffia0RT8 A. &Mrta of GommissI20= 4 1. CounQiltpw eras No Report. Middleton spoke to the item of concern expressed during the last meeting concerning representation by a City Staff mamber on the building•committee. She said they have a good dollar amount and the facilities to be inoluded, and at the preliminary design stage they will request participation by the City, Community Bd, and general community. She indicated that the date set for the bond issue was October 19, pending approval of the finan- cial picture. She added that a community use type swimming pool will be a separate issue. She spoke to an intensive one session kind of planning meeting which was often used in planning facilities, at which a strong recommendation or alternatives are worked out for road plan :location etc.. C to be held at Forest Hills Mamentary in the UtG. Helmer questioned the issue of co—mity pool. Middleton responded that this was pending some agreement with the City on the operation and main- tenanoe of the pool, and that it Would have to be located at Round Fake rather than as an addition to the present high school because it is a commainity use type. Jessen added that the School Board has appointed six representatives to participate in this process to resolve the road conflict, because there is a difference of opinion on the process of the road. Middleton added there are community members in additon to school and city people represent•• ed, and Jessen will represent the City Council and Erickson the PR & NR Commission. Choiniere requested that his opinion be forwarded to Erickson, that he was opposed to a four lane highway going through Bound hake PArk,and pre- ferred minimal access roads. Be Z=rte of St d 1. Devela=gat Pro22sals a. Area H P�e,�,erra Jensen spoke to the Staff Memo of August 13 and to the su=iarization of the major question for this area -- public ve, primate open space along the oreek, and to the Draft Agreement between the City and the Preserve. He said that at the time the original PDD Concept Plan r .. Minutes - Parks, Rea. & Natural Page 4 Resources Commission ,approved August 160 1976 Area H_PrAqeM(cont'd) received approval, most of the committments to public open space had been made, and these have served as a basis for action taken since then. He added that the original Plan did not contemplate my public open space on Area H, but that the Purgatory Creek Study indicates that this area would be appropriate for a public recreation open space eonneat-tng by major trail between Major Center Area and Staring Lake, and therefore is the basis for this recommendation. In referring to the Memo of August 139 he suggested that the Commission might consider modifi- cation of nos. 10 & 11. Discussion took place on the filling of part of the land and whether it met with requirements of the Watershed District. Commission membera concurred that we should have some idea of implementation of the Purgatory Creek Study, which Jessen stated was the intent of this recommendation. Jessen said there is a possibility that the Riley/Purgatory Creek Watershed District and LAWCON may contribute toward the funding•,of this Area. Middleton inquired as to the value of this land, and whether the City can afford to purchase it. Jessen responded that he will secure tbis' iniformation. Choiniere commented that he felt we should maintain some kind of idea and ob- jective for acquisition of open space and let people see and evaluate what it Cis we are trying to do. Choiniere asked whether that ood plain ordinance protects private parties from invading entire flood plain and do we have to go public? Jessen responded that it does provide for public use and that there are provisions for filling, but does not provide for goals that the Purgatory Creek Study sets up for. Garens expressed his opinion that we should find out the value of this land and whether we can afford it, and feels there are other areas that would be more appropriate to purchase. He asked what was so critical about these particular 20 acres. Jessen responded that the land is right in the middle, and that for the City to purchase it later after it was filled would be very expensive. He gadded that the flood plain ordinance was for the benefit of the public, and it has provisions where land can be re-claimed and made buildable, and that it does not give an undebatable mandate that it cannot be filled later. MTION: Choiniere moved to accept the recommendations as outlined on Staff Meow of August 13 pertaining to Preserve Area H. Middleton seconded, motion carried with a vote of 5-1, with Upton:-casting the dissenting vote. Garens called a five mirm a recess, and the meeting reamed at 9:30 P.M.. 2• Conga derat on of Aezau s t1 on of T_Oo Lund PrORSCIZ Jessen spoke to Memo of August 13, 1976 which stated that the property wax in fact tax delinquent from the year 1969 and that the property owner is now being served tax forfeiture paperer. He added that the City does not intend to proceed with any acquisition in this situation. MTION: Kiugrey moved to receive and file Memo of August 333s 1976, and to con- tinue discussion with the gentleman and report back. Choiniere seconded, motion carried uwU2J seoua1Y* I Minutes - Parks, Roo. & Natural Page 5 Resources Commission approved August 16, 1976 3. RReai nnn'1 Parka Cani_tal_Jg►orovement Proms Jessen referred to four parcels (Nagengast, Kopesky, Ingram, & Hoeft) that have not been acquired and where we have made no pro- gress. He said the City has not fulfilled its contrao-hwl arrange- ment with the Metro Council on these parcels, and they have requested from us our intentions. If steps are not taken to acquire these par- cola., we will have to return the money received for noquisitlen•of parcels at Anderson Lakes. There was agreement that condemwation procedure was not a vary satis- factory method, but there was no other alternative because of. failLure to receive any response from property owners. MOTIONS Kingrey moved that the City commence"eminent domain proceedinge" to acquire the four parcels owned bys Nagangast, Kopesky, Ingram, & Hoeft, and that the City request from the Metro Couuncil additional fwad- ing of 01.75,000 for these purchases. Choiniere seconded, motion carried unanimously. Jessen spoke to the request by the Metro Council to revise figures on the Capital Improvement Program for regional parks. He referred to figures on Pg. 2 of Memo of August 13, 1976. He continued that because of Council action regarding Lake Riley, he would suggest that further hearings be held with people from the Lake Ailey area, as well as other citizens in.the community prior to re-submitting a request for Regional Funding for this area. Jessen added that he had talked further with the Metro Council and they have indicated they may ask the Hyland Park Reserve District to act in absence of Eden Prairie's proceeding. He said that the feeling of the residents of Lake Riley was'that the City would lose all control over the park, which he did not agree would happen. He felt•that if the Hyland Park ReseraBDi.strict were to step in, we would lose that control. NDTIONs Choiniere moved to re-state the Capital Improvement Program for Regional Parks as recommended by Jensen in Mena of August 13, 1976, exclud- ing Lake Riley at this time to leave open for further deliberation. Heiner seconded. Helmer withdrew his second. Kingrey seconded, and the motion carried with a vote of 3-2•-1.
