financing were used. However, recent discussionswith Olympic Hills people
had indicated that they would be receptive to revenue bondina for this
purchase, and in this case, no referendum would be required. .

Bye stated that he felt the*Olympic Hills opportunity was deservina of a
strona look on Eden Prairie's part, and he felt the $2 million askina price
was not exorbitant and the potential for community development could be j
enhanced by this purchase. He suaaested that an expert on aolf course
construction be employed to do this study, and it is his feelina that Brauer
& Assoc. are as aood a choice as anybody in this area for this project.
M/Bye, S/Berkland that the Park and Recreation Commission recommend to
the City Council that Brauer & Assoc. be employed to conduct a detailed
study of the Olympic Hills Golf Club area at a price of $4,500; that an
immediate meeting be set up with representatives of Olympic Hills Golf
Club to explain the City's interest and outline the time framework within
which this work might be accomplished; that Brauer & Assoc. furnish a .
contract proposal to undertake this study immediately for the Council's
consideration at the June 11 , 1974, meeting, and that upon execution of
the contract and the completion of the study, Brauer & Assoc. be required
to furnish a detailed accountina of all time and costs incurred in this study.
The reason for selection of Brauer & Assoc. to conduct this study is because .
of their outstanding credentials in the crolf course field, particularly their
past record in planninq and developina municipal aolf operations. Motion
carried unanimously.
C. Riley Lake Park Report.
Jessen reviewed *the natural features of the Riley Lake area as they related
to park and open space planning and also pointed out manmade factors as
they relate to any park concept in the southwestern Eden Prairie area. Of
primary importance in the manmade area is the future North/South Parkway
road which is proposed to run just east of Riley Lake and connect to the
future 212 alignment. This North/South Parkway was discussed at some
lenath by the Plannincr and Development Subcommittee at its meeting. on
Wednesday, May 29, 1974, and basically three alternatives were reviewed.
Alternative A leaves the park boundary road at essentially the existing Riley
Lake Road alignment past Dutch's Resort; Alternative B pulls the road back
away from the lake; and Alternative C pulls the road further from the lake.
The acreages involved in these three alternatives are as follows;
Alternative A 56 acres
Alternative B 240 acres
Alternative C 290 acres
The Plannina and Development Subcommittee discussed the possibility of �(
park acquisition at Riley Lake being limited to that area north of Dutch's
Resort and thus, not requiring the acquisition and relocation of the three
houses and bar which would fall within that area.

Minutes - Park & Recreation -5 June 3 , 1974
Commission Mtq.
Scherer stated that he felt the City was presently involved in adult
organized activities and that this was not necessarily good, that much
more could be done for young people, and sugcrested that the provision
of facilities at the neighborhood level rather than programs would accom-
plish much in this need area. Anderson replied that he felt there was
another area of service required in the community, and it isn't just for
toddlers who could go to a small park in their immediate neiahborhood
to climb on a swincrset, but rather for children eight years old and up
who are in need of space for them to play baseball or softball, soccer
or football, tennis, etc. He said he felt the needs of toddlers were
beina taken care of by people havina swinasets in their back yards and
by small neiahborhood Groups providing totlots, and that he viewed the
City's responsibility as providina these 10 acre or more neiahborhood
playgrounds which could be used for both organized and unorganized
play activity. Sue Keller agreed that it is the elementary aae youngsters
and j unior�hiah youngsters who need the activities. She said that she
felt the mother aenerally supervises the toddlers in their own yard and
the youngsters of eight years and up need an area they can ride their
bike to, enaaae in different leisure pursuits, and that this requires
bigger land areas than two to three acres.
Bye asked if Eden Prairie is short of land or facilities, i.e. , do we need
to buy additional land areas or do we need to develop some recreational
facilities somewhere for residents of the community. He said it is his
feeling that the people in the community would find the tennis courts no
matter where they were put. He suacrested that the question that needed
to be asked is how many facilities do we need in Eden Prairie today, and
then go on to where to we put them and can we put them on existing land
holdinas. Helmer suggested that while that was a legitimate approach
to the problem, he felt that as a resident of one of the neighborhoods
which is totally devoid of park service that location was as important as
the facilities developed. Anderson stated that he felt the City would get
land areas in all parts of the community sooner or later. The question to
be asked is should we spend money today to provide service tomorrow or
should we wait and get land later and provide service some time in the
future.
Penzel asked three ladies representing the Lochanburn Addition what their
neighbors wanted in the way of a neighborhood facility. Their response t
included skating facilities, ball fields, tennis, open space, pathways,
and areas to just look at and enjoy. Penzel then said that he felt the
demand is for neighborhood facilities, and that unorganized play is the
most important factor of the neighborhood facility and that is related
1 areatly to the location of the facility. Oraanized athletics and other
organized programs are secondary to the use of the neighborhood facility.
Anderson agreed that it is imperative that youngsters be able to get to
an area of this type without beina driven by their parents.

Commission Mtq.
Scherer said that the Eden Prairie Jaycees are on record as wantina to
head 'up the bond issue proposal for park development but that he feels
the inclusion of a Great deal of land acquisition would have a detrimental
effect on any proposal of this nature.
Bye suaaested that perhaps we are dealinq in terms of a perfect
solution to the problem when talking about additional land acquisition
and that sometimes tryinq to accomplish the perfect solution causes
nothina to aet done. Perhaps we can't afford the perfect solution at this
time so we should do something to make a better solution, and perhaps
this somethina to be done is to develop facilities on existing land
holdings of the City.
lessen reported he had talked to Shelter Corp. and they had indicated
they would sell 12 acres for approximately $90,000
M/Helmer,' S/Berkland that the staff prepare a list of all lands owned by
the City, the status of all dedications in development proposals presently
before the City including any provision of open space, and further that
the staff prepare some concept plans for the development of those lands
includina cost estimates. Motion carried unanimously. lessen replied
that it would be difficult to do this type project without factoring in
some intuitive judaments on the staff's part for development planning and
that if development planning included the four immediate acquisition areas
mentioned previously, the facilities included on each parcel micrht be
quite different. He stated that the staff would develop these plans as soon
as possible, includina whatever intuitive judgments they felt appropriate
and return this item to the Commission at the earliest possible date.
i '
Penzel asked the ladies from the Lochanburn area about the petition which
they presented to the Commission informally at the meeting, as to their
desire to specify the provision of the neiahborhood facility on the Edina
Builders site and sucJgested that perhaps it might be more appropriate for
the petition to just read, "a neiahborhood playground facility in their
area" rather than specifying the site that they suaaested. The three
ladies were in aeneral agreement that it was not absolutely necessary
that it occur on the Edina Builders site but only that it occur somewhere
in close proximity to their neighborhood so that it could be used by the
elementary-aced school children livina there. {i
E. Report on Status of Grants Programs. I •
lessen reported that on Monday, June 3 , 1974, he had received copies of j
the Federal contract for the 1972 and 1973 LAWCON funding of $542,115
for the Bryant Lake Park acquisition as well as a contract for the 1974 i
LAWCON funding of $150,300 for the Anderson Lakes Park acquisition. !

Commission Mtcr.
Both of these grants will be used to fulfill Contract for Deed commitments
made previously by the City. Bye suaaested that a concerted effort be
made to cret some good publicity on this matter in the Minneapolis Star
and Tribune as well as the Eden Prairie Sun and the City "Happenings"
Newsletter.
lessen also reported that he had appeared at a Metropolitan Open Space
Commission meetincr on Monday, June 3, 1974, to present Eden Prairie's
needs and time schedule for acquisition of the Anderson Lakes Park area.
The 1974 dollar amount was estimated to be approximately $1,500,000
with approximately $450,000 needed in 1975. This Commission is still
hopeful of meetincr their July 25th deadline for havincr the Metro Council
approve the immediate action expenditure procrram.
lessen reported that the deadline for the filincr of 1975 LAWCON and State
.Natural Resource fund applications is July 12 , 1974. He suaaested
that the City's application ought to include finishina up the Starina Lake
Park project and also might include a request for funds to purchase land
at Riley Lake if the Commission and Council approve a plan for this area.
No action required on this matter at this time.
III. DISCUSSIONS.
A. Consideration of renamina Anderson Lakes Park to Blacklock Park.
Berkland brouaht this matter before the Commission as it was included in
the discussion which took place two weeks aqo and suaaested that rather
than it being named the Les Blacklock Nature Center,it should be named
Blacklock Park in honor of both Les and Fran for their efforts in the City.
Bye said that it was fine with him if this is the case and further, that it
was his intention to call the whole area Blacklock Park, not the Blacklock
Nature Center at Anderson Lakes Park.
M/Bye, S/Helmer that the Park and Recreation Commission recommend
to the City Council that the Anderson Lakes Park area be renamed
Blacklock Park in recognition of Les and Fran Blacklock's efforts in
seeing this project accomplished for the City of Eden Prairie. Motion
carried unanimously.

The meeting was called to order at 8:00 p.m. by Chairman Marvin Erickson, who
announced that due to lack of a quorum no action could be taken by the Commission.
and asked the people in attendance at the meeting from the Riley Lake area if
they would be interested in hearing the Staff proposal for a park planned in the area.
�. The consensus of the people was that they would like to hear what was being
! considered at this time and then would return in two weeks when the Commission
\ would take action in considering the proposal.
It was agreed by the Commission that all of the other items on the agenda would
be held over and that the presentation of the discussion on the Riley Lake park
would occur.
Mr. lessen presented information dealing with the long range population projections
for the City showing the acreage for residential development, the total population,
and the child population in the different sectors of the community. The long-range
projection for the Southwestern section is that the population will be close to
30,000 people and that the total population of the community would be somewhere
between i30,000 and 160,000 people.. Riley Lake because of its size and shape is
the most desirable water recreation lake in the southwestern sector of the
Metropolitan region. Mr. lessen suggested that the uses to which it would be put
would not be too unlike those at Bryant Lake but that Riley Lake was actually more
suitable for boating uses etc.
i
In addition to the water oriented uses proposed for the lakeshore area, the Staff
suggested that land be purchased for community playfield uses in the Southwestern
sector. . The total area proposed for inclusion in this park includes a total of
C 185 acres. The uses for the land are swimming and boating on the East shore of
the lake, day camp or resident camping on the North shore of the lake in the former
( Westminster . Heights camp property, and community playfield uses on much of the
property extending North from Riley Lake along Riley Creek and East of it.
f
Park & Recreation Commission -2- June 17, 1974
Minute s
Proposed in the plan was the alignment for the North/South parkway Road and
a re-alignment of Riley Lake Road which will provide much greater park area
between the Road and the Lake than presently exists.
Jerome Jacques asked why Eden Prairie would want a park in this area at this time.
Bill Garens responded by indicating that in looking at the long range plan it was a
very desirable location for this type of facility and there would be a need for it
and it would be advantageous to buy it now rather than wait until the prices got
even higher. Jim Thomas said that people in the area were upset about losing
their homes and the fact that they would be forced to move 'from what is the
best lake in the community. Penzel replied by saying that we're not trying to
displace people but trying to look at the long term goals and develop the best
possible community and that arrangements could be made for people to continue
to live there for a reasonable period of time. Penzel further said that there was
always the chance that the land might be developed and in fact utilities could be
extended into the area by private action and that the City can control land use but
only to the extent that they are not arbitrary and capricious.
Mrs. Tessness asked if rqpre boats might use the lake as a result of public
ownership. Penzel replied by saying that public ownership might reduce the
' traffic on the lake because profit wouldn't be the motive rather public recreation
benefit would be. He stated that presently private landowners are charging peopl �'k
to launch boats and the more boats that are launched the more money they make.
( This would not necessarily be the case under public ownership.
Elaine Jacques asked what theCity would intend to do with Dutches in the short
term if it were purchased. lessen replied that no decision in this regard had
been made but that several alternatives existed. It might be used as a park area
or it might be closed, the buildings razed,,etc.
i Joe Doleisi Jr. asked about the CitV s ten percent of land dedication requirements
and suggested that this might provide enough open space in the southwestern
sector and that there was really no need for the City to acquire land at Riley Lake.
Penzel replied by saying that the ten percent land dedication generally includes
protection open space such as flood plain.,slopes,plus linear corridors, etc. and
that the only way for the Gityto acquire community park space was through a
land acquisition effort.
Penzel suggested that the staff notify the Lake Riley Improvement Association
members and all residents of the area,of future Commission deliberations on this
item which would occur on July 1 , 1974 and he further suggested that the staff
send reminders to all Park and Recreation Commissioners of the meeting so that
we can get a quorum at the July 1 meeting and take action on this proposal.
