PARKS,RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION MINUTES October 3, 2016 Page 6 VIL NEW BUSINESS A. RILEY LAKE PARK CONCEPT PLAN REVIEW Lotthammer introduced Jason Amberg, Landscape Architecture Group Manager, and Jeff Deitner, Landscape Architect,from WSB &Associates, Inc. (WSB). He informed the Commission this project has been in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for several years,but the City has been holding off until the pavement had reached its useful life. Driving forces for the improvements have been traffic flow and boat parking. On busy days cars have needed to park on Pioneer Trail. Safety has been an issue with vehicles and boats backing up. In addition,more support for the beach is desired,including utilities, running water,bathrooms, changing areas and replacement of worn out grass in the picnic areas. WSB provided services for Round Lake and Staring Lake Parks so there is a mutual familiarity and respect with City staff. Concept plan development is the first step so WSB met with several City staff and Let's Go Fishing contacts for feedback. Continued feedback will be sought from residents since this park draws from more of a teenage crowd versus a parent and toddler crowd at Round Lake. Historically, this area was used as a lodge or resort. The appeal is for residents to obtain a cabin feel; i.e., sit by the lake, fish, canoe, etc. Ideally, this location could become the community's lake place. Lotthammer informed construction dollars are in the CIP for 2017 so the capability exists to start the project next year. Feedback from the concept plans will be finalized into construction plans for contractors to bid on in early 2017. Since the park is located on a lake, two or three phases will be likely prior to completion due to additional permits and watershed district approval being required. Deitner presented the Riley Lake Park Concept Plan. Key design elements included improved vehicular/pedestrian circulation to reduce conflict, and increased parking and improved ADA access and handicap parking. Building improvements would include increased storage,public changing area and restrooms, a lifeguard building, and a covered patio space overlooking the beach. Beach improvements would include a deeper beach area for lounging, elevated seating, and ADA access. Overall site improvements would include seating, picnic and patio areas, and an open lawn space for games. Two concept site plans were presented with the goal of combining the best aspects of each into one plan for eventual approval. Key elements of Concept One consist of relocating the park entrance to the east; expanding regular, handicap and boat parking; and relocating the primary path for pedestrian users to the east PARKS,RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION MINUTES October 3, 2016 Page 7 side of the park. The boat launch area would remain where it is currently but would include covered seating areas, patio space, and useable space for Let's Go Fishing and general patrons to allow access to their pontoon or boat. Beach area would include two buildings for male and female restrooms. Each building would have a changing area and lockers. A third building would be for lifeguards and storage and could also include rental equipment. The beach would be expanded a little less than double its current size. Concept Two key elements include moving the entrance further northeast; expanding regular, handicap and boat parking; and creating a central lawn space encompassed by a circular walk. A second open lawn space could be used for smaller gatherings and tie into a secondary storage shelter and a boardwalk area with overlook opportunities, as well as covered seating. Pesheck stated he is a heavy user of the park and dock system and would like to see boat parking more isolated from the general population. Spresser agreed that boat and handicap parking need to be separated from general parking. Spresser inquired about pedestrian and biker safety coming off the trail. Pesheck inquired about loss of trees. Deitner stated as many large, existing shade trees would be kept as possible in the central area. Amberg interjected there will be some impact regarding loss of trees regardless of which concept is chosen. Minor grading will be needed for trail construction but not for general open lawn space. Spresser rose concern about possibility of boardwalk area becoming too congested with people and lawn chairs that would block patrons wanting to use the boardwalk for passage. Deitner explained the overlook area of the boardwalk would be deeper to allow for seating and the area for passage would be narrower. Additional discussion ensued amongst Commission members regarding boat access and trailer parking space counts. Link shared he liked how the large green space allowed different groups lots of space and separation from each other. Pellowski shared his preference of one building concept being easier to clean and maintain. Pesheck inquired if changing rooms would have showers. Lotthammer explained there would be one outdoor shower for rinsing and no indoor shower facilities. Lotthammer informed the utility portion of project will use a significant part of the budget. Tenner added she likes the boardwalk as well as the one building concept to cause less confusion for young children. Student Representative Wenc mentioned his concern about boats having to go through entire parking lot in order to get to boat launch area. Consensus of the group appeared to be a preference toward the parking lot in Concept One. PARKS,RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION MINUTES October 3, 2016 Page 8 Verley mentioned concern about bike riders on the LRT Trail cutting through the parking lot in Concept One rather than staying on the path to get to the beach area. Jacobson inquired about possibility of an off-leash swimming area for dogs. Lotthammer responded with all the beach area needed for waterski drop-off,boat launch, fishing, etc., he is unsure if a dog area could be accomplished safely. Pellowski inquired how boaters would know if there were any parking spots available without having to drive through the entire parking lot. Deitner responded he has seen both concepts work in larger boat launch areas. It can be useful to have to drive through to get a general idea of parking available. Spresser mentioned possibility of having staff post a"lot full" sign at the entrance for boaters. Lotthammer explained a choice does not need to be made between the two concepts but could be a combination of the best parts of the two presented.The next concept plan will take into consideration comments from the Commission as well as other feedback received. Link invited commission members to email any additional thoughts for consideration. B. TRENDS In response to Spresser's request from a few months ago, Lotthammer introduced a presentation consisting of a review of trends by Division, including an overview of significant cultural, demographic and technological drivers. Next steps will eventually be discussed to develop a document to give Staff and the Commission direction and a thoughtful process of how to move forward. Verley began with a presentation of statistics at the Community Center.Family memberships have increased 26 percent from 253 in 2015 to 312 through September 2016. Due mainly to new tot program offerings, the Community Center hosted 390 non-member participants ages 1-5 years from January through September. The hope is for these attractions to lead to new memberships. Group fitness attendance continues to increase with BodyPump being the most offered group fitness class and SilverSplash having the highest average attendance per class. Data is tracked to help determine what is offered,when it's offered,in which studio it will be offered,etc. Tuesday is the most popular day for attendance at the Community Center, as well as a national trend.Verley noted most holidays occur on Monday which may affect its coming in second.The fewest number of classes are offered Friday through Sunday since attendance is also lowest on those days. Specialty fitness classes (yoga and pilates) are the only classes for which participants pay since instructors are paid at a higher rate. They continue to be a popular option with steady attendance generating revenue of$19,140 year to date. PARKS,RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION MINUTES October 3, 2016 Page 9 With the assistance of maintenance employees, the Department is starting to more heavily track fitness floor equipment use to help determine lifespan of equipment. Average pace of treadmills and bikes can be equated to miles and how many years remain in useful life to determine equipment replacement plans. Senior healthcare insurance-subsidized memberships (Silver &Fit and Silver Sneakers) increased from 1,263 in 2015 to 1,432 from January through September 2016. Silver & Fit memberships have increased 71.5 percent since January 1, 2016 and will most likely be over 900 memberships by year end. Spresser suggested tracking what classes and when seniors take classes, in addition to obtaining data from the schools regarding anticipated enrollments. Dryland room use has increased from 13 average uses per week in 2015 to 22 average uses per week in 2016 with the addition of fitness classes using the room. Community Center room rentals, specifically the Cambria room, have increased slightly in 2016. Late night ice rental hours have increased from 700 in 2016 to 750 from January through September 2016. Youth hockey rentals remain flat or slightly decreasing. Adult pickleball continues to grow. New player clinics average 20 to 25 players each. The Department offers four summer leagues at Franlo and Riley Lake Parks. In addition,two fall indoor leagues, indoor open pickleball and early weekday morning skills clinics all fill to capacity. Swimming lessons remain a popular offering. 93 percent of the summer parent/child classes were full and 80 percent of the year-to-date swim lessons were full. In addition,adult lesson participants have increased from 41 in 2015 to 74 from January through September 2016. Swim lesson revenue increased from just under$120,000 in 2015 to almost $150,000 year to date in 2016. Average open swim attendance before Phase II completion was 42 swimmers. After Phase II completion, the average attendance is 116 Swimmers. Participation is 17,000 swimmers year to date. Park use has experienced slight increases. In 2015, there were 53 Riley-Jacques Barn rentals. From January through September 2016, there were 57 Barn rentals. In 2015 parks hosted 21 walk/run events. From January through September 2016, parks hosted 24 walk/run events with 16 of those at Purgatory Creek Park. Regarding the customer base, Brink addressed the number of new households created in the past year. When creating the Division's new database, 2,500 community center members were imported from the old database. After that time, if a person or family was not a member and wanted to register for a class or PARKS,RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION MINUTES October 3, 2016 Page 10 program, a new account needed to be created. On the first day, 376 new accounts were created.Over the next two weeks, 500 more accounts were created. After the first year of new programming, new accounts are still being added. These are not necessarily new community center members but new participants in recreation programming. First day of spring/summer registration revenue has increased steadily over the last few years. Revenue for the first day in 2015 was a record at approximately $130,000 and in 2015 it was another record at approximately $150,000. Brink continued with raw data of summer camp enrollment including how many enrollments are at each location. In general, eight-week summer preschool playground camps registrations were 151 in 2015 and 190 in 2016. The department will review this information to determine how the data will affect future programming. Brink noted an increased demand for drop-off and parent/child programs including soccer, multi-sports camps, art classes and spring nature preschool camps. Tennis camp participation remains strong. Participation was 650 in 2015 and 550 from January through September 2016, although indoor tennis continues through the end of the year. Organized adult athletic league participation is decreasing not only in Eden Prairie but also across the state and nation, with the exception of pickleball. League participants numbered 8,000 in 2014 and just over 6,000 participants in 2015. Numbers may be affected by construction and the down time of some fields. The Department is paying close attention to this downward trend and creating alternatives to reverse the trend.Examples could include offering different team sports, offering the same team sports but to participants aged 50+ or 60+, offering leagues during the day rather than evening only, as well as offering non-traditional sports. Senior Center visits have increased from 27,569 in 2015 to 30,312 in 2016, which equates to approximately 100 people per day at the facility. Senior center room rentals have increased directly related to year-long clients holding classes weekly. Brink continued with a presentation of how the Department reaches customers, how customers want to be contacted,how the Department responds, etc. Digital marketing has increased thus resulting in cost savings. The number of printed pages in the spring/summer brochure was 160 in 2015, 136 in 2015 and 128 in 2016. For the first time, no backpack flyers or specialty camps brochures were printed for school distribution in 2016 and increased registration was experienced. Bourne continued the trends presentation with information on the condition of paved trails. The Department has contracted with a company who has conducted a PARKS,RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION MINUTES October 3, 2016 Page 11 survey of all paved trails every two years. The pavement management and condition index report indicates a baseline of 60 is deemed as acceptable trail condition.Most recent data is from 2014 since the results of the 2016 survey have not yet been received. Approximately 92 percent of trails are 60 and above. Many trails are in the 10- to 15-year-old range and are at the 60 to 79 index,which means they are reaching the end of their life expectancy. The trail restoration budget has been increased for rehabilitation, preventative maintenance, seal coating, etc. Other trends in parks and natural resources are in sustainability and being aware of environmental issues. Park maintenance has seen a shift toward drought and wear-tolerant turf species on newly renovated ball fields,incorporating more native species pollinator-friendly plants in landscape beds, and converting mowed areas with limited use to native prairie areas. Bourne is seeing more grant opportunities available to cities and is hoping to benefit from the cost sharing. Parks water use has either stayed the same or decreased even though the City has added a number of systems through the years. Lotthammer concluded the trends presentation with an explanation of significant drivers affecting the forecasting of the Department's future:population demographics including the aging who currently pay the least, new families, diversity and emerging interests;health care including reimbursement and fitness trends; climate changes; economy/funding, energy consumption and conservation; and technology. He stated the next steps in forecasting will include refining trends,refining categories, creating an outline for a draft document,segmenting into divisions and service areas, and reviewing the draft document with the Commission. VIII. OLD BUSINESS REPORTS OF STAFF A. PARKS AND NATURAL RESOURCES MANAGER Bourne provided a presentation which was also recently given to City Council regarding the updated Tree Ordinance No 7-2015, Section 11.55 —Land Alteration, Tree Preservation and Stormwater Management Regulations. He distributed a draft update to the ordinance and invited the Commission to review and send input via email or phone call. The ordinance was originally created to promote preservation through replacement. The tree replacement plan requirements include an inventory of PARKS,RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION MINUTES October 3, 2016 Page 12 significant trees, list of trees removed, tree placement requirements, location of replacement trees, sizes and types of replacement trees, and the time to perform the improvements. Per the ordinance, the definition of a significant tree is any deciduous hardwood tree (except elm, willow, box elder and aspen)measuring twelve inches in diameter or greater, or a coniferous tree measuring eight inches in diameter or greater. Trees that are exempt from being replaced are trees that are dead or diseased,trees that are totally or partially lost due to natural causes, and elms, willows, box elders and aspens. A heritage tree definition was added as any living deciduous hardwood tree (except elm, willow, box elder and aspen)measuring 34 inches in diameter or greater, or a coniferous tree measuring 24 inches in diameter or greater. General exemptions from the Ordinance allow for the cutting,removal or killing of less than 10 percent of significant trees within a five-year period in non- residential lots. For residential lots, 10 percent or one significant tree, whichever is greater, is allowed within a five-year period. Any new developer's agreement must include the amount of caliper inches needed to be planted to meet the tree replacement requirement and is memorialized in the development agreement for the project. Any tree lost or that was not included in the tree replacement plan is replaced on an inch-for-inch basis by the developer, not the City. Non-residential development is basically the same but also allows for additional trees beyond tree replacement to be required as part of landscaping requirements. New storm water management rules have, in most cases, increased the number of trees being removed and/or limited the area for replacement trees to be planted. Bourne added that most of the remaining parcels within the city to be developed are infill projects on heavily wooded sites, making tree preservation difficult.A developer's only option is to ask for a variance/waiver if they cannot meet the requirements. Projects in the past have been overplanted to meet requirements but are now experiencing maintenance issues due to overcrowding. To recap, Bourne explained proposed updates to the City Code include adding a definition and regulations for heritage trees; lessening replacement requirement for significant trees,but increasing replacement for removal of heritage trees; and adding the ability for payment into a fund to be used for reforestation and other environmental projects for requirements not able to be met. PARKS,RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION MINUTES October 3, 2016 Page 13 Bourne mentioned the Landscape Ordinance is currently being reviewed as well. B. RECREATION SERVICES MANAGER C. COMMUNITY CENTER MANAGER Aquatics Supervisor Tina Eide provided a presentation on the City's aquatics and beaches activity in the last year. Lake Riley beach was open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. from June 18 through August 28. Round Lake Beach was open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. from June 18 through August 16. Staff returning to college makes it difficult to keep Lake Riley beach open past the final week in August. The same staffing issue plus an e-coli problem that usually develops in Round Lake after heavy rains, result in an earlier closing date for that beach. Rentals at Round Lake generated over $1,200 in revenue included paddleboards, youth kayaks, canoes, and corcls, which were new this season. Utilization is estimated at 1,222 in June; 3,061 in July; and 1,255 in August. The busiest day at Round Lake beach was the 4th of July with 150 patrons. Canoe rentals are offered at Lake Riley but are not heavily used. A goal with the renewed beach area is to offer more rental opportunities in the future. Utilization at the beach is estimated at 825 patrons in June; 2,539 in July; and 1,927 in August. The busiest day was the 4111 of July with 227 patrons. Eide explained the aquatic center addition has provided for additional partnerships and new offerings. Since the equipment was already owned,water polo drop-in availability was offered on Sundays at 10 a.m., with estimated 8-10 participants each time. The Splash N Dash event held on August 20 included 20 youth participants. Commission discussed increased interest in triathlon-type events for youth.Flick N Float, a program showing movies on the second Friday of each month throughout the fall offers family fun in the recreation pool area via an inflatable movie screen. Approximately 75 participants enjoyed the first offering. Rental to the Northland Scuba group since February has resulted in $3,500 in revenue to date.YMCA summer camps resulted in $17,000 in open swim revenue from June-August at the EPCC and Oak Point pools. The Special Olympics group, Western Wings, practices January through March and has resulted in increased revenue the past few years: $1,804 in 2015, $3,700 in 2016 and an estimated $4,200 in 2017. Practice and meet rental to the Eden Prairie High School boys and girls swim and dive teams resulted in $16,000 in revenue in 2016. Team Foxiet rental resulted in PARKS,RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION MINUTES October 3, 2016 Page 14 $55,000 in revenue in 2016. Link inquired if the senior-aged population could assist with college-age staff shortage at the end of summer. D. PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR Lotthammer stated 2016 PRNR Work Plan would be updated for the November meeting. IX. NEXT MEETING Next PRNR Meeting—Monday,November 7, 2016, at 7 p.m., Heritage Rooms X. ADJOURNMENT Motion: Spresser moved, seconded by Jacobson, to adjourn the meeting at 9:22 p.m. Motion approved 6-0.
