City of Lino Lakes Comprehensive Park Plan and Development Guide Brauer & Associates, Ltd., 1991 CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN ii INTRODUCTION ' The City of Albertville has experienced rapid development over the past several years. This development has resulted in the community being dominated with primarily young families and school -age children. A product of this situation has been dramatic increases in pressure on the ' City to provide recreational facilities of varying kinds and to generally expand the types and locations of facilities from those which presently exist. In response to this pressure, the City has opted to prepare a Comprehensive Park and Trail System Plan for recreational development to meet the park and trail needs which have arisen and which are expected to continue as population growth increases. The methodology used in the Plan has been to identify the recreational needs and desires of the community through completion of a resident survey and evaluation of the existing facilities as to how well the recreational needs of citizens are being met at the current time. Following this, the Plan establishes the community's policies/objectives in meeting both current and future recreational needs and provides an integrated implementation plan to accomplish the objectives. ' This Plan endeavors to accomplish three primary objectives. First, the City of Albertville strives to provide for the recreational needs of the residents in the most efficient manner possible. It is recognized that the City cannot provide all desired recreational elements to every citizen, as physical limitations such as land as well as monetary limitations will limit the location and extent to which development of recreational amenities is possible. Efficiency becomes the key to ' planning, developing, and operating a park and trail system which will incorporate other recreational providers such as the St. Michael -Albertville school district, Wright County, and private providers such as golf courses. This balancing of priorities should provide the maximum ' return on the City's investment. A second objective has been to streamline the development process in the City, and provide ' some equity between new and existing recreational development. Since new development places new demands on the City's recreation service provision, the new development is called upon to help provide land to meet the increased demand. The relationship between park and trail ' planning and the development process is one which already exists but one that can be refined to work most positively for both private development interests and the public. Finally, it is an objective of this Plan that a framework is established within which the City can deal with issues that projections fail to anticipate. Any plan relies upon certain assumptions about the ' future environment that can limit the plan's usefulness when the assumptions fail to materialize. This Plan, especially the policies it establishes, seeks to provide the City with guidance when it faces issues which were previously unexpected. CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN C INVENTORY The first step in determining the needs of the City's recreational system is the identification of existing conditions. For the purposes of the Albertville Comprehensive Park and Trail Plan, the Inventory process takes two primary forms. First, the existing park and trail facilities were ' identified through a series of field inspections by Northwest Associated Consultants, Inc. A written record was made with each facility to identify the service area of the park, surrounding land uses, and physical amenities or characteristics which might affect the eventual use of the park site. The items inventoried for each facility were gathered with the goal of being able to place the park or trail within a system of recreational opportunities. The baseline data provided in this effort helps the City to understand how its park facilities fit together and provides the information necessary to identify gaps in or duplication of services. The second category of Inventory data was collected through a mailed survey of residents park and trail preferences. The survey requested respondents to identify current park use patterns, and what changes they would like to see in Albertville's recreational system. This information is then incorporated into the planning and design of park and trail elements. For additional perspective, the survey data has been correlated with data from national publications as to the guidelines for specific types of recreational facility development. rl -I 1 CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN rl INVENTORY EXISTING PARKS The City of Albertville currently contains four parks, each varying is size, location, and service. Existing parks play an important role not only in their overall recreational benefit to the community residents but as a crucial destination point directly related to the establishment of trails. Allure interrelated and each portion from the park land itself all the way down to a single picnic table or foot of trail plays an important role in completing a recreational link, therefore adding to the comprehensive system. Lion's/City Park is the oldest and largest (in terms of usable land area) park in the City, encompassing 5.11 acres. It was established with assistance from the Lion's Club and is the most centrally located facility in the City. Situated on the east side of Lander Avenue adjacent to the railroad, it offers an exercise area/fitness court, sand volleyball court, baseball/softball field, large picnic shelter with 12 tables, small picnic shelter with 7 tables/storage building, gazebo with one picnic table, basketball court, ice rink, playground, benches, drinking fountain/water faucet, grill, port -a -potty, and gravel parking area. It has been suggested that the City expand this park to the west to provide another ballfield, among other things, however, property acquisition and detailed planning has yet to occur. Four Season's Park is located on Barthel Drive on the north side of 51 st Street and encompasses about 5.05 acres. It contains two tennis courts, basketball court, large playground, shelter with 4 picnic tables, paved trails which connect to surrounding neighborhoods, benches, water pump/drinking fountain, volleyball court, port -a -potty, small drainage pond, and paved parking area. Westwind Park is located in the western portion of Albertville within the Westwind development that contains a mix of low, medium and high density residential homes. The park encompasses 14 acres, although only slightly over one acre is buildable. It was developed this past Fall as a neighborhood tot lot/playground facility for children of varying ages. It contains a large play structure and several smaller ones, benches and paved trails which traverse the park perimeter and lead into the adjacent neighborhood. Parkside Third Addition, a newly approved development, is currently being constructed in the City: The development contains a 2.84 acre park area named Oakside which will remain undeveloped into the short term future until time and monies are available for its planning and design development. The land is to be expanded to the south when future subdivisions are implemented to provide adequate area for a neighborhood park facility. Swamp Lake Park, a small playground area located at the terminus of First Street NW in St. Michael serves a small portion of Albertville in the Swamp Lake area. A trail provides access ' around the southern perimeter of Swamp Lake and could be extended within Albertville as land develops in this area.

The ' southern portion of the property contains a playground area inclusive of a large play structure, several swing sets, monkey bars, merry-go-round, basketball hoop, and multi -use paved area. Plans for expansion of the school on its south side have prompted recent plan preparation of a revised/expanded play area, discussed in following sections of this document. The St. Michael -Albertville Area High School also provides athletic facilities for community -wide use, although they may be somewhat more limited, as the student needs take precedent. The school property contains a track/football field, open area to be used as football practice areas, discus, and shotput; numerous tennis courts, and four ballfields (two for baseball and two for softball). I EXISTING SIDEWALKS & TRAILS ' Pedestrian trail facilities such as walking, jogging, bicycling, roller skating or in -line skating are very limited in the City at the present time. Residents typically use local streets and paved shoulders of collector and arterial roadways as pedestrian recreation or transportation routes within the community or pursue off-street trails outside of the community. This is not only inconvenient but can be dangerous as well. A narrow sidewalk exists along portions of Main Avenue and 50th Street in the City. A six (6) foot wide sidewalk is located on both sides of Main Avenue from 60th Street to 57th Street. The trail on the west side narrows to four (4) feet and ends at 54th Street. The trail on the east side also narrows to four (4) feet and continues to 50th Street (CSAH 35). A four (4) foot trail continues easterly along 50th Street to Lansing Avenue. Paved shoulders are located along CSAH 37 on both sides from CSAH 19 to the east end of the 1-94 bridge, along the east side of CSAH 19 in front of the Commercial Park and along the west 1 side of Barthel Industrial Drive from the railroad to 51 st Street. I 1 CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN n INVENTORY Snowmobile trails located within the City provide between five and six miles of connection/access within the overall 225 mile Wright County system. The trails are jointly established, operated and maintained by the Department of Natural Resources, Wright County ' Parks Department, Wright County Snowmobile Association, and local snowmobile groups. Business owners contribute money for preparation of a colored trail route map (in exchange for promotion of their facilities and services on the map) which is available to the public. Furthermore, private landowners provide public easements for the seasonal use of their property by snowmobiles. The map on Page 4 shows the location of existing (winter 1996-97) snowmobile routes. The designated trails are along the southern ditch of CSAH 37, extending west then south through the Kolles and Pilot/Kenco properties. To the east the CSAH 37 trail leads through the industrial park via Barthel Drive right-of-way and south through private industrial properties, extending across 50th Street into St. Michael. A third leg from CSAH 37 progresses east and north across the 1-94 bridge and follows Maclver Avenue into Otsego. 1 1 CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 1 I fl J fl ISSUES & ANALYSIS For any park and recreation system to be successful, it must be developed in a manner in which it fulfills the physical, psychological, and recreational expectations of those it is intended to serve. In many respects resident's perceptions as to the quality of life within a community is directly and indirectly correlated to the quality of the park and trail system and open spaces that surround them. Assessing Albertville's park and recreation needs allows us the opportunity to develop an understanding of the issues and concerns that are confronting the City and its residents. This assessment will provide insight and direction necessary to prepare a plan that will guide the development of the entire park and trail system. SUMMARY OF SURVEY RESULTS Together with the above analysis of park and trail facilities, the following summary of survey results provide the City with a condensed set of factors showing what and where recreation elements are desired or needed and where they're not. This is the foundation from which to build a Comprehensive Park & Trail System Plan. Existing Facilities • Most used: playgrounds, picnic areas, softball/baseball fields, tennis courts • Least used: exercise area, volleyball • City needs to improve: Maintenance/condition of parks, size/design of facilities or equipment • Inadequate aspects of system: Lack of trails, lack of swimming area, poor park maintenance, number of ballfields, playground equipment in Lion's Park, condition of basketball nets/rims, lack of in -line skating area, lack of natural park areas with trees, lack of/poor condition of tennis courts, no permanent restroom facility. • Most exercised trail activities: Walking6ogging, bicycling, roller skating/in-line skating • Location of trail activities at the present time: Local streets • Recreational activities which most often draw persons out of the City: Beach or lake swimming, fishing, swimming pool CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN ' 7 ISSUES & ANALYSIS • Recreational programs most used by residents: Youth: Baseball/softball, hockey, boy/girl scouts, swimming, dancing/gymnastics Adult: Baseball/softball, volleyball, community education Future Facilities • New parks should be developed where they are needed (66%-34%) • Small neighborhood facilities are preferred (61 %-39%) over large, centralized ones • Expansion of Lion's Park favored: 49% yes, 26% maybe i0 Would use more if located in City: Swimming pool, trails of all types, beach or lake swimming • Desired facilities: Trails, swimming pool, hockey/ice skating rink, golf, ballfields 9 • Undesired facilities: Snowmobiles, ballfields, hockey, swimming pool, golf • Trail connections desired to (in order of priority): Residential neighborhoods, schools, city parks and facilities, regional parks and trails • Walking distance preferred: 1 mile or less • Trails of most interest to residents: Walking/jogging, biking/skating • Trails should be constructed using both multi -use trails and separate trails for pedestrian and bicycle traffic • Residents preference for trail location is (in order of priority): All overland, all trails ' off-street, all varying combinations • The majority of residents would purchase/live on a residential lot in the City if it were located adjacent to a park or trail, however, most also wanted to see greater physical separation and fencing and/or vegetative barriers to buffer the recreational use and keep people off of their property. • With regard to spending, residents felt that each area or neighborhood should be evaluated separately and that spending should be at an equal ratio for the establishment of parks and trails. F CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 8 I r� �I ISSUES & ANALYSIS • The majority of residents (65%) would spend between $25-50 per year for a period of 5 years if it meant that parks and trails would be installed faster or if there were an increase in the number, types or quality of recreation elements. Another 20% would spend $75 per year or more. Background Data • Length of time living in Albertville: <1 year 6% 1-5 years 44% 6-10 years 22% 11 + years 27% • Why residents chose to reside in Albertville: Small town 67% Rural/open 50% Location 40% Schools 36% Family 33% Housing 28% Low Taxes 19% • The majority of respondents were young adults with no children or school age children. • Most respondents were home owners rather than renters. • Areas of residence: 40% east of Main Avenue 29% west of CSAH 19 26% between Main and 19 5% north of 1-94 PARK GUIDELINES & AREA REQUIREMENTS According to the National Recreation and Park Association, a park system, at minimum, should be composed of a core structure of parklands with a total of 6.25 to 10.5 acres of open space per 1,000 population. With a 1996 population of 2,213 after recent boundary changes, Albertville should have between 13.83 to 23.24 acres of park land. The existing City parks and their sizes are listed as follows: Lion's/City Park Four Season's Westwind Parkside 3rd (Unnamed) 5.11 acres (plus portion of railroad right-of-way equals about 6 acres) 5.05 acres 1.40 acres (buildable portion of total 14 acres) 2.84 acres CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 9 1 ISSUES &ANALYSIS 1 The combined acreage of the four existing parks totals 14.4 to 15.3 acres which is within the recommended standard, although on the low end of the spectrum. Consistent with the City's viewpoints, this will require that additional park areas be established as additions to existing parks or acquisition of new lands in future years. New park areas will be required to meet the needs of current residents where facilities are lacking and to meet the overall needs of residents as the population continues to grow. Based on population projections contained in the City's Comprehensive Plan, the following table indicates the estimated parkland acreages which should be achieved in future years. Year 1996 2000 2000 2010 2010 Population 2,213 2,499 3,089 3,723 4,892 (E)dssting) (Slow Growth) (Fast Growth) (Slow Growth) (Fast Growth) Projected Projected Projected Projected Acres of Ddsting: Needed: Needed: Needed: Needed: Parkland 14.4-15.3 ac 15.6-26.2 ac 19.3-32.4 ac 23.3-39.1 ac 30.6-51.4 ac Needed: 13.8-23.2 ac PARK CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM This classification system is intended to serve as a guide to planning, not a blueprint. The City of Albertville recognizes the importance of establishing and using park and recreation standards as: 1) an expression of minimum acceptable facilities for the citizens of the community, 2) a guideline to determine land requirements for various kinds of park and recreation areas and facilities, 3) a basis for relating recreational needs to spatial analysis within a community -wide recreation system, 4) one of the major structuring elements that can be used to assist with development, and 5) as a means to justify the need for parks and open space within the overall land use pattern of the City. The following standards are to be coupled with conventional wisdom and judgment relating to the particular situation to which they are applied and specific local needs. Sometimes more than one component may occur within the same site, particularly with regard to a specialized use within a larger park.

CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 14 ISSUES & ANALYSIS ASSESSMENT OF ALBERTVILLE RECREATION AREAS Lion's/City Park is Albertville's main park facility and most heavily used park. At a minimal size of 5.11 acres, the park draws users from throughout the community and functions both as an area for casual activities as well as organized sporting events. While its size is adequate given the current City population, continued growth has begun to put strains on the availability of certain park elements and maintenance aspects related to its overuse. Classified as a Community Playground, Lion's/City Park should at a minimum double in size to encompass 10 acres within three years to provide the necessary space for added active recreation facilities. As the City's only Community Playground within the Plan,. the park should reach a size of 20 acres by the year 2010, although the high school athletic facilities assist with meeting some of resident demands. In the long term, one could envision Lion's/City Park expanding to include areas currently occupied by other land uses. For instance, should the need for the railroad become obsolete as is anticipated, the park could expand northward to include abandoned railroad property and be directly tied to a regional trail system, also utilizing what was once railroad right-of-way. Furthermore, the expected phasing out of existing homes along 60th Street would allow the park to directly abut City Hall property to create a unified public gathering space. Such a configuration could enhance the business park concept envisioned for this area along CSAH 37 and within the downtown area along Main Avenue. While such ideas may seem far-fetched at this point in time, this type of positive thinking is what leads to constructive planning and ultimate accomplishment. Four Season's Park is classified as the City's only existing Neighborhood Park at a size of 5.05 acres. It is well designed and performs its function, to serve the immediate neighborhood area, beautifully. It appropriately contains both active and passive recreation elements and provides a large playground area to emphasize service to ages five through eighteen of the population. It is within the desirable size range of neighborhood park facilities and is easily accessible with r numerous neighborhood trail connections for safe walking and bicycle approaches. The one improvement which would enhance the park is not an internal design factor, but rather an associated matter. Barthel Drive is a major north -south collector route which provides vehicular access to Four Season's and also links a large portion of Albertville residents to the park. The road is heavily used as a walking corridor, however, no grade -separated trail access is present. The recommendation, therefore, would be to implement such a trail on the west side of Barthel Drive as indicated in the Comprehensive Park & Trail System Plan. Westwind Park is the City's most recently developed Neighborhood Playground, encompassing 1.4 acres of upland. It provides a large playground area for young and elementary school aged children, seating for adults and direct connection into adjacent residential neighborhoods to the north and additional residential neighborhoods to the south which are currently being constructed. Westwind Park is heavily used, as it provides the primary elements required of this type of park CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 15 I ISSUES & ANALYSIS Pedestrian/Bicycle Trails Drastically evident on the map showing existing park and trail facilities in the City (page 4), pedestrian and bicycle trails are nearly non-existent in Albertville. The few grade -separated trails which do exist are in poor condition and wide enough to accommodate only a single user. The paved shoulders along portions of CSAH's 37 and 19 and Barthel Drive are viewed as inadequate with regard to safety. Furthermore, none of the trails provide connection to important destinations or between one another. The door is basically wide open for the creation of a community -wide trail system that provides a full range of options with regard to trail type, location and length. Snowmobile Trails As shown on the existing park and trail facilities map, designated trails (winter 1996-97) are located along the southern ditch of CSAH 37, extending west then south through the Kolles and Pilot/Kenco properties. This area is slated for development over the next several years. Developers of the Kolles property have already consumed about 10 acres for the first phase of a residential development and Pilot/Kenco is pursuing construction of a huge mixed residential use development and golf course. Both developments will impact the locations where snowmobiles have been permitted in the past. Similarly, another leg of the snowmobile trail system progresses east and north from CSAH 37 across the 1-94 bridge and follows Maclver Avenue into Otsego and will be impacted by the Swanson and D'Aigle residential developments, potential commercial development adjacent to Hack's Convenience/Liquor Store and by the planned realignment of Maclver Avenue in the future. Another City project to severely impact previous snowmobile routes will be the upcoming improvements to the CSAH 37/19 intersection this summer. In addition to roadway alignments being altered significantly, this intersection will be transformed from a rural section design to an urban section, thereby leaving no ditch area for use by the snowmobiles. The portion of the Albertville snowmobile route to be least affected is that segment located to the east of CSAH 37, leading through the industrial park via Barthel Drive right-of-way and south through private industrial properties, extending across 50th Street into St. Michael. This route too, however, may have to change slightly to accommodate the new building planned for Vetsch Cabinets and possibly_ others within the Industrial Park. In all areas, details as to trail location, trail width, snowmobile speed, and directional signage must be determined and explicitly defined if the two types of trail uses (snowmobile and pedestrian/bicycle [multi -use] trails) are to coexist successfully. CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 17 I I 1 ISSUES & ANALYSIS FACILITY & SERVICE AREA DEFICIENCIES The existing facilities map on page 4 of this document shows the locations of the four existing parks as well as their present service areas. Review of this data illustrates the inability of the existing parks to adequately serve the City under its current physical limits. In a positive sense, the undeveloped areas of the City, primarily north and west of CSAH 19, coincide with those areas in need of a park facility. This will be an advantage to the community to be able to require the dedication of land as specified in the Plan as properties develop. Other, smaller areas of the City such as the properties north of Mud/School Lakes, Greenhaven Estates, and (less critically) the southeast industrial park area also lack park services that must be addressed in the Plan. CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 18 1 a COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN The focus of the Albertville park and trail system is to establish and develop lands devoted to public use to service, as a priority, existing residents and developed areas. Of equal importance, however, is the establishment of park and trail areas to service new development/residents as subdivisions are platted while looking ahead to the long-term overall recreation needs of the community. The Comprehensive Park & Trail System Plan aids in all of these objectives by indicating the optimum location of future park facilities on a general basis, in relation to existing parks and anticipated trail facilities. It is not the intent of the Plan to target specific properties for future park development. Instead, the optimum area for acquisition is shown to work toward the goal of providing the City with the ability to reserve land from development or acquire land as it becomes available. While the chosen locations for park development are based on a multitude of factors, including existing and anticipated subdivisions, residential distribution, neighborhood size, and local/regional facilities, the primary focus of the park system plan is to provide an equitable recreational structure based on park type and service area. Thus, the Proposed Park Locations & Service Area and Proposed Trail maps go hand in hand in guiding all future park development. The Proposed Park Locations & Service Area map, which follows, identifies the varying types of park facilities and their service areas. This directly relates to the park classification system which was outlined in the previous section. The Recreational Facility Names and Locations map on page 21 indicates the names of existing parks, recreational facilities, and plats (some pending) as well as showing names given to some future parks. The park components and special characteristics of this recreation classification represent the core of the future Albertville park system. These types of parks are the fundamental building blocks of the community's park system. Each residential neighborhood should possess equal access and level of facilities for its citizens. Individual parks should have varying physical characteristics, however, their facilities should provide a uniform level of quality recreation and park experience. While site suitability (land type, size, and access) is a critical consideration in establishing park locations, specific park sites for future establishment in the currently agricultural areas of the City are difficult to anticipate. Though proposed park and trail locations are reflective of known development concepts at this time, they can only be estimated until more definitive future plats are submitted and approved which may require deviation, to a certain degree, from the Plan. Other physical constraints such as drainage basins, flood plains, and wetlands must also be considered in association with the expected expansion of residential development areas. While it is assumed that much of the west and northwest areas of the City represent future locations for the establishment of recreational facilities, planning cannot be accomplished too early. The following paragraphs describe individual components of the Plan.

Lion's/City Park (Community Playground) From its current size of 5.11 acres, Lion's/City Park should at a minimum double in size to encompass 10 acres within three years to provide the necessary space for added active recreation facilities. As the City's only Community Playground within the Plan, the park should reach a size of 20 acres by the year 2010, although the high school athletic facilities assist with meeting some of resident demands. In the long term, one could envision Lion's/City Park expanding to include areas currently occupied by other land uses. For instance, should the need for the railroad become obsolete as is anticipated, the park could expand northward to include abandoned railroad property and be directly tied to a regional trail system, also utilizing what was once railroad right-of-way. Furthermore, the expected phasing out of existing homes along 60th Street would allow the park to directly abut City Hall property to create a unified public gathering space. Such a configuration could enhance the business park concept envisioned for this area along CSAH 37 and within the downtown area along Main Avenue. While such ideas may seem far-fetched at this point in time, this type of positive thinking is what leads to constructive planning and ultimate accomplishment. Winter Park (Neighborhood Park or Community Park) The Comprehensive Park & Trail System Plan designates a Neighborhood Park in the west central portion of the City at a gross size of approximately 18 acres. This park as shown would encompass part of the Pilot Cedar Creek North Development (8 acres inclusive of wetlands) and Kolles (Little Mountain Development - 10 acres) properties. The park has been established on a preliminary basis, pending approval of plats for both properties which will dictate the final land configuration and size of the park. While it has been questioned whether the City should acquire the full ten acres for a park as indicated in the approved Kolles concept, without the designation of a Community Park in the City and the limited size of Lion's/City Park, the Kolles/Pilot park may serve a dual purpose. It is recommended that Albertville take advantage of the opportunity to acquire the land while the area is still unimproved and until the City determines what types of specific recreation uses are needed in the area. The Subdivision Ordinance requires that where land is to be dedicated to the City for park use as part of a plat, the area must be at least five percent of the plat's gross land area. For the Kolles property, this amounts to 158,994 square feet or 3.65 acres. This leaves 6.35 acres of land that the City would need to acquire on their own through purchase or some other agreed upon alternative. This 6.35 acres in combination with the net Pilot land area (5-6 acres) would provide developable recreation area up to approximately 12 acres. However, should the City opt to increase the park dedication CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1 9 9 7 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 22 V �{` N — j��i !..✓. vy,i.+T 4n'4.r /art' y,:r t".p.'-:" T�F G 4+Rf fA v0,�L Q f O� J a.

Oakside Park (Neighborhood Park) At its current size of 2.84 acres, this park is not adequate to serve future development in areas surrounding it. For this reason, it has been shown as being expanded to a minimum size of five acres thereby encompassing land to the south with direct access to a public street (cul-de-sac) and trail connection to 53rd Street. The Pilot Center Oaks Development which was recently approved by the Planning Commission proposes to add 2. 17 acres to the area platted as part of Parkside Third. The two areas will together provide 5.01 acres for Oakside Park. The Meadows (Lyman Development) plat provides grade -separated trail connection from Oakside Park to 53rd Street. Four Season's Park (Neighborhood Park) Through analysis of existing park facilities, Four Season's Park was shown to be a well -designed and functioning recreational facility. Aside from grade -separated trail connection along Barthel Drive, no other improvements have been recommended in this area as part of the Plan, Hamburg Park (Neighborhood Park) A third Neighborhood Park area has been located on the Balfany property or in the general vicinity between CSAH 19 and Mud Lake as part of the Plan. The planned park will serve the majority of the northeast portion of the City in combination with a small Neighborhood Playground (Crow River Park) located somewhere on the D'Aigle property. Hamburg Park is shown to encompass a portion of the School Lake shoreline in order to provide more diversity in the City's recreational system, with potential for development of a fishing pier, wildlife observation point, or some other water -oriented activity/ facility. Southside Park (Neighborhood Park) A fourth Neighborhood Park has been located in the southwest corner of Albertville to serve the area which is generally segregated from the rest of the community by County Highway 118. This location is not within the City's sanitary sewer service area and will most likely be one of the last areas to develop. Neighborhood Playgrounds Five new areas for the establishment of Neighborhood Playgrounds have been designated on the Plan. They are located on the D'Aigle property (Crow River Park), near Greenhaven Estates (Frankfort Park), on the Marx property (Hidden Park), and on the Sybrant property (Knights Park). Each will serve the recreational needs of children in the immediately abutting (future) neighborhoods. CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 24 11 COMPREHENSIVE PARK &TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN Private Facilities (Future Golf Course and Future Ice Arena) The Albertville City Council recently approved plans for an indoor ice arena to be constructed within the commercial park near the intersection of CSAH's 37 and 19. The project will be jointly funded, operated and utilized by the communities of St. Michael and Albertville and the St. Michael -Albertville Youth Hockey Association and School District. Conceptual plans have been approved pending submission of site data such as soil tests and wetland delineation and detailed drawings of the site elements and building. Another private recreational facility, a golf course, is currently being planned for a large area west of CSAH 19, proximate to County Highway 118. The 18-hole golf course, clubhouse and driving range have been integrated with large lot single family and twinhome residential development. The project would likely be processed as a planned unit development, incorporating curvilinear streets with varying lot widths, parks and trails. Conceptual plans have not been approved to date. School Recreation Areas The St. Michael -Albertville school district has two facilities located in the City. As mentioned earlier, the Albertville Primary elementary facility contains a playground area inclusive of a large play structure, several swing sets, monkey bars, merry-go-round, basketball hoop, and multi -use paved area. Plans for expansion of the school on its south side have prompted recent plan preparation of a revised/expanded play area concept by the City Engineer. In order to accommodate the building addition, the proposed play area is shown behind the building in association with an auxiliary parking area. The plan also shows a park shelter, turf playing field for soccer/football and two little league ball diamonds. Lastly, the plan serves to improve drainage on and adjacent to the property by installing a drain tile beneath the play areas, leading to a ponding area at the rear (east side) of the property. One item lacking from the concept plan is trail access which would provide through access to residential neighborhoods north and south of the school property as well as direct connection to Main Avenue. The St. Michael -Albertville Area High School also provides athletic facilities for community -wide use, although they may be somewhat more limited, as the student needs take precedent. The school property contains a track/football field, open area to be used as football practice areas, discus, and shotput; numerous tennis courts, and four ballfields (two for baseball and two for softball). At this time there have been no proposed changes to this configuration.

Existing destination points in the City, shown on the following map, include schools, existing parks, retail businesses and services, residential neighborhoods, lakes/wetlands, and neighboring communities. Arterial and Collector Roads (Grade -Separated Trails) All County or City roads designated as either arterial or major/minor collector routes contain a grade -separated trail along at least one side of the paved surface as shown on the Plan. The only exception to this is the oldest portion of 57th Street located east of Main Avenue and those portions of 53rd Street which are currently in place and have developed properties adjacent to s them. Arterial and collector routes as designated in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan have been identified below. The Plan states that arterial and major collector routes shall provide trails ten (10) feet in width while minor collector streets need only to provide eight (8) feet of trail width. In some areas, however, the Planning & Zoning Commission may recommend deviation from these width standards where existing development will be impacted by the acquisition of land, establishment of access easements, and/or construction of trails. t 1 h Street Arterial 10 foot trail on one or both sides of street as required Major Collector 10 foot trail on one or both sides of street as required Minor Collector 8 foot trail on one side or 6 foot trail on both sides of the street Local 8 foot trail on one side of the street or as required CSAH 19 X CSAH 37 X CSAH 35 (west of Main) X County Highway 118 X Main Avenue X CSAH 35 (east of Main) X 53rd/57th Streets X Kalland Avenue X Barthel Drive X 70th Street X All other streets X CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 27 1 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN Local Roads (On -Street Trails) All local roads in the City will be used as trail routes, most commonly as connections between other parts of the trail system or for short local trips. As shown on the Plan, some local streets may be designated as on -street trails through the use of striped pedestrian lanes (no parking), signage, and/or some other indicator. These will simply indicate to unfamiliar users that the road provides an alternative (through) route and that it will return to meet with another portion of the rgrade -separated trail system or a park facility without being dead -ended. Overland Trails As an alternative to on -street or grade -separated trails which typically are associated with vehicular rights -of -way and usually run close/parallel to streets, overland trails have also been designated in the Plan. Although slightly more difficult to establish because of the additional need for land (designated right-of-way in residential areas and easements in commercial/industrial areas) and their relationship to adjacent properties, these types of trails in many cases provide access to areas which would otherwise be inaccessible or privately owned (ie: through school or park property and adjacent to wetlands). A small percentage of the overall trail system plan has been designated for overland trail establishment. These areas are interspersed throughout the community, predominantly adjacent to natural wetland areas and through City parks. Trail Construction When being established as part of a newly subdivided area, the Plan indicates that all types of trails shall be installed by the developer to satisfy a portion of the park dedication requirement. Trails may be located on -street (requiring no developer action or cost), within the street right-of- way as a grade -separated trail (requiring the developer to construct the trail within the street right- of-way) or may lead through certain blocks of the subdivision as overland trails. When trails are designated overland in residential areas and located along the side or rear of lots, the Plan requires that a minimum thirty (30) foot corridor be established as dedicated land within which the trail shall be located. In commercial and industrial areas developers will also be required to construct trails but, when located outside of the street right-of-way, easements will be required rather than dedicated _corridors to allow the property owner maximum use of his/her land. Railroad Corridor The Burlington Northern Railroad currently operates and maintains the railroad tracks which pass through Albertville. Should the need for train transport become obsolete and Burlington Northern wishes to abandon the tracks, the Plan indicates the establishment of a future (long term) overland trail within this corridor for potential connection to a continuing regional trail system. Many unneeded rail corridors have been transformed in this manner through assistance from the Rails to Trails Conservancy. CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 29 COMPREHENSIVE PARK &TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN Snowmobile Trails The Proposed Trails map has identified several routing options for the continuation, relocation and/or establishment of snowmobile trails in the community. The Wright County Snowmobile Association as well as local groups work with land owners on a yearly basis to gain access to private property desired as part of a snowmobile trail route. The trail plan cannot begin to anticipate specific snowmobile trail locations, thus only suggestions have been made as to how the trails might be accomplished without interfering with established pedestrian and bicycle trail routes. As city development progresses and population increases, establishing snowmobile routes for seasonal use will become a greater challenge. The key to a successful existence will be open lines of communication and positive relationships between snowmobile associations and landowners. Even more critical, however, will be the careful management of trail corridors and proper utilization by riders to avoid conflicts with Albertville residents. Connections to Adjacent Municipalities The City of Albertville Comprehensive Park & Trail System Plan provides for extension or connection of trails in all directions, to all adjacent communities. In the case of St. Michael, trails on the south side of Swamp Lake extend toward the joint municipal border, making connection opportunities obvious. In all other areas immediately surrounding Albertville trails are non- existent, thus to a large degree, future trail connections will be the responsibility of Otsego and St. Michael. However, Albertville should continue to promote trail connections and will need to evaluate design options to ensure that trail routes as shown on the Plan are attainable in the field. CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 30 I POLICY PLAN Park and recreation planning in any community occurs at three levels. Maps and plans provide graphic visualization of physical resources. But no matter how extensive, they cannot anticipate every eventuality. Growth in the City may occur in new locations which the Comprehensive Park ' & Trail System Plan does not expect or it may occur much faster or slower than originally thought. Proposed land use types and streets may have to be changed in response to present day circumstances which will in tum alter the planned park and trail system. For this reason, policies are developed which can be applied to new situations. The Policy Plan is the first and most critical part of the planning process. It is a strategic ' management tool which reflects the community's general treatment of its recreation facilities and services, and provide more detailed guidance on park/trail development and maintenance ' standards. Community recreation standards are the means by which a City can express their goals and objectives in quantitative terms, which in turn can be translated into spatial requirements for physical resources. ' OVERALL SYSTEM POLICIES ' 1. Develop an on -going planning process for the establishment of parks and trails which responds to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan Policies as well as those identified herein. 2. Develop goals and priorities for park/trail acquisition and development. 3. identify present and future park/trail needs on a continual basis for evaluation by the Planning and Zoning Commission as development proposals are considered and recommendations are made to the City Council. 4. Update physical plans and related documents as necessary to respond to changes in goals, needs, priorities, and budget. ' 5. Plan for recreational facilities and budget needs by preparing a master plan for each component of the park/trail system to be used as the basis for development. ' 6. Promote public participation in the planning process via the Planning and Zoning Commission to host a forum for open discussion of issues. 7. Promote integration with other City activities, services, and facilities. ' 8. Identify the means by which to implement park/trail administration and operations (ie: by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council policies, procedures, and ordinances). CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 31 POLICY PLAN 9. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall review and make recommendation to the City ' Council on all aspects of park/trail planning, design, acquisition, development, and maintenance. 1 10. The City shall achieve an equitable distribution of park lands, trails, recreational facilities, and programs throughout the community. ACQUISITION POLICIES ' 1. Acquisition of land for future park and trail development will be a high priority for the City and shall be acquired (preferrably through dedication or purchase) in advance of actual ' need in order to ensure its protection, availability, and to avoid future development pressures which may result in lack of prime land area or higher acquisition costs. I 2. Land shall be acquired to serve all recreational, open space, and transportation needs of the residents on both a neighborhood and community -wide basis. 1 7 Ll 7- L 3. Lands shall be acquired according to need in differing areas of the City in compliance with the Park Classification Guidelines contained herein which dictate the appropriate park size and corresponding service radii and neighborhood populations to be served. 4. When determining park size, unusable land areas such as wetlands, drainageways, floodplain areas, etc. should not be included in the acreage calculation, but may be accepted as a portion of the recreational system for aesthetic or environmental or wildlife preservation purposes. 5. Land acquired will remain as easily maintainable open space until it is financially feasible for the City to develop and maintain more intense recreational facilities. 6. Besides the standard recreational programs and facilities typically recognized by the City, consideration should be given to the following areas: a. Areas for nature preservation. b. Historic preservation. C. Cultural enrichment. d. Facilities for the handicapped/disabled. e. Public activity areas and facilities in employment centers or privately owned developments. f. Organized sports and recreational activities. g. Teen programs and facilities. h. Senior citizen programs and facilities. CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 32 ' POLICY PLAN 7. Land shall be acquired from developers or land owners when it is consistent with the ' adopted Park and Trail Plan or when alternate areas have been evaluated based on park and trail policies and are in keeping with the intent of this Plana In other areas which serve no system purpose, owners of land shall contribute cash to be used in the purchase and/or development of community recreational areas when the need for land is not apparent. However, the City may consider through special agreements the dedication of equipment or services which assist in achieving the overall park and trail plan objective. 8. Where possible, the Cityshall consider acquiring through dedication or purchase high q 9 9 P 9 amenity landscapes or park land which includes unique or limited features such as lake frontage, wetlands, quality views or special attention areas such as a portion of the Central Business District which may act as a welcoming entrance monument or business center focal point. 9. Land for parks or trails may be acquired through dedication, purchase, eminent domain, donation, or other means appropriate to the situation including easements or leases. 10. The sources of funds to be utilized for acquisition may include park/trail dedication fund, general fund, capital improvement program, bond issuance, grant programs, or any other source appropriate to the situation. ' 11. Access to park and trail areas within residential subdivisions must be provided by developers from public rights -of -way and/or adjacent lands at minimum standards established within this document (refer to following policies for details regarding this provision). 12. With the exception of trails and passive/unobtrusive facilities or activities, park areas ' acquired shall be of sufficient size to provide no less than a twenty (20) foot setback from private property lines to the activity or equipment to be located within the park. PROGRAMMING/DEVELOPMENT PO LICIES 1. Create and maintain an attractive, diverse, and interesting system of urban and rural parks/trails including but not limited to multi -use trails (for pedestrians, bicycles, roller- skates/in-line skates, and skate boards), sidewalks, nature or hiking paths, snowmobiling trails, and cross-country ski trails (multi -use trails during the winter). ' 2. Create a City-wide park and trail system designed to minimize conflicts between pedestrians and motor vehicles. 3. Minimize construction costs whenever possible by installing parks or trails in conjunction with other planned improvements at the state, county, and city level. ' CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN ' 33 I POLICY PLAN 4. Upon development of recreation facilities, they shall be appropriate to the areas in which they are located, both with respect to their integration into the social/physical setting and to their potential for creating conflicts with neighboring property owners. 5. Park and trail development should minimize impacts on adjacent properties through P 1 p P 9 provisions for, but not limited to: ' a. Adequate of -street parking q P 9 b. Appropriate orientation and location of buildings and activity areas C. Screening, buffering, and landscaping d. Adequate setbacks and physical separation 6. Where parks and trails lie adjacent to existing or planned home sites, the City shall promote the installation of buffers such as vegetative plantings or fencing to screen views and noise from recreation system users and to define the boundaries of public -private areas. 7. Utilize abandoned railroad rights -of -way or utility easements for trails or linear parks where appropriate to promote space conservation and aesthetic improvements. ' 8. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall review park dedication fees on a bi-annual basis to ensure compatibility with land costs (to be equitable with developers required to dedicate land) and with the City's needs or planned improvement costs. ' 9. Promote the establishment of parks and trails within new subdivisions and redevelopment areas which are proportionate to the impacts of additional homes/people on the park and trail system and which are to be installed by the developer/landowner. J 10. Through the utilization of park dedication funds or other possible means, work to upgrade existing trails and establish new trails within existing neighborhoods and developed portions of the City which complement and provide connection to other community or regional trails. . 11. Encourage the private sector and community organizations to provide recreational opportunities, facilities, equipment or services whenever possible. 12. Unsolicited gifts and donations toward the community recreation system will be accepted by the City if they are free of obligations or impacts which limit use later, do not offend other segments of the community, do not have hidden costs for development or maintenance which is beyond the City's financial resources, and are in the City's best interest. CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 34 G POLICY PLAN 13. Volunteer efforts shall be utilized when possible to help in the implementation, maintenance or expansion of the City's recreational elements. 14. Coordinate facility development with the needs of community residents, athletic associations, civic groups, etc. 15. Preserve existing physical site amenities (natural or man-made) and encourage the establishment of new site amenities when planning and developing park areas. 16. Consider the long term costs of maintenance and operation in a facility's design and development. 17. Ensure that the proper right-of-way widths are dedicated or easements are established for sidewalks and trails during the subdivision process. I TRAIL FACILITY PURPOSE & DESIGN POLICIES fl I' i 1 1. Establish trail facilities which provide recreational as well as functional uses. 2. Establish trail corridors that minimize stop signs, cross traffic, and mixing with other modes of transportation 3. The types of trails to be used as the basis of planning and development are as follows: a. On -Street Trails/Paved Shoulders: These trails share the same paved surface as the roadway that they follow. They are designed for multiple uses and may be located on Une or both sides of the street. b. Grade -Separated Trails/Sidewalks: These trail segments are separated from the adjacent roadway by a strip of land/plantings or physical structure (preferably not less than five feet wide). They are designed for the integration of a variety of compatible non -motorized trail uses including pedestrians, bicycles, skate -boards, roller-skates or in -line skates. They shall generally follow street rights -of -way, but may be setback varying distances from a road for aesthetic, safety, maintenance, or snow storage reasons depending upon the classification of roadway with which they are associated (traffic volumes, speed, etc). C. Overland Trails/Linear Parks: These trail segments shall provide a standard trail width within a significantly wider right-of-way and shall be located away from street corridors, not typically parallel to the street surface. They should be designed to incorporate vegetation, seating, picnic areas, and playgrounds or other supporting CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 35 I POLICY PLAN site elements and may serve a dual purpose as a buffer strip or separated bikeway. Abandoned railroad rights -of -way and many utility easements fall into this category. 4. All trails located along arterial and major collector streets should be a minimum of ten (10) feet wide. 5. All trails located on or along local or minor collector streets should be a minimum of eight (8) feet wide for two-way traffic (one side of the street) or six (6) feet wide on both sides of the street for one-way traffic, although lesser widths may be necessary in established residential areas and where space is limited. In no case, shall a trail be installed at less than a four (4) foot width. 6. In cases where trails lie adjacent to new residential development or are not located within public rights -of -way, a minimum corridor size of thirty (30) feet shall be provided which , in addition to the required trail, may be used for the establishment of vegetative screening or accessory park/trail elements. Distances to existing homes may be less in cases where I� space it tight. I 7. The required thirty (30) foot corridor shall be dedicated as parkland in residential areas or in special cases an easement may be established provided lot depths are increased to accomodate the width of the corridor. Within commercial and industrial areas an easement will be required, but the establishment of such will not necessitate a change in the required lot size or setback requirements. 8. In residential areas (local streets only) on -street trails may be unmarked, paved with a stripe, or identified by a sign. On -street trails associated with collector or arterial streets are not desired for long term use, however, where necessary they should always have a specially marked shoulder area and/or be sign identified. 9. It shall be the City's responsibility to implement new trails in existing neighborhoods or to redevelop insufficient facilities where necessary over time. 10. Trails shall be constructed according to the standards established in the City's Standard Detail Plates document dated September 12, 1996 or as otherwise specified by the City Engineer. 11. Developers who wish to subdivide land which includes designated new trail corridors in the comprehensive system plan will be required to dedicate and construct trails in the location and manner approved by the City Council. Those land owners who abut areas designated for trails will be required to plan for and accommodate such in the event that development/subdivision of their property occurs. CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 36 I POLICY PLAN 12. The longitudinal slope of trails along their length should not exceed five (5) percent to be considered handicapped accessible and eight (8) to ten (10) percent in areas where access would otherwise be limited. 13. The cross sectional slope of trails shall not exceed two (2) percent and shall be convex (raised to slope toward each side) or sloped in one direction to allow for proper drainage. 14. Lines of sight should be considered when planning trail development both for aesthetic reasons as well as for safety. Unobstructed forward and rear views should be provided for each type of user: fifty (50) feet for pedestrians and one hundred fifty (150) feet for bicyclists and skaters. 15. Unless safety factors prohibit such, the City shall promote the establishment of trails through all areas of the City and among all land use types according to the intent of the system plan associated herewith. 16. It is the intent of the City that all trails be paved with bituminous or concrete surfacing in the long term, however, interim trail surfaces of vegetative ground cover, gravel, stone or wood chips may be necessary in some areas as dictated by available monies. Unless otherwise approved by the City Council, all trails shall be paved. PARK FACILITY PURPOSE AND DESIGN 1. Every reasonable effort will be made to improve and expand parks located in areas with inadequate facilities. 2. Establish park facilities which provide recreational as well as functional uses. 3. Consideration shall be given to safety, visibility, and emergency access into parks when acquiring land or planning for their development. ' 4. Long term costs -of maintenance and operation in a facility's design and development shall be recognized. 5. Land for parks will be acquired, planned and developed according to the Park Classification Guidelines contained herein which specify the appropriate sizes, locations, service areas and equipment to best serve the City. 6. Prior to the development of each park area, a design plan will be prepared which shows the types, locations and sizes of proposed facilities and estimated costs. CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 37 u L� I POLICY PLAN 7. Park facilities and buildings should be compatible with surrounding urban or rural activities with regard to scale, design, color, setbacks, and materials. 8. Maximize park accessibility by city residents to best serve the area in which the facility is located by requiring either vehicular or pedestrian access or both (depending on the size and classification of the park). MAINTENANCE & OPERATION POLICIES 1. The City will provide for the efficient maintenance and operation of clean, orderly, controlled, safe, and attractive parks and trails. Park maintenance and operation shall safeguard the physical condition of trails and equipment from deterioration or damage due to weather, vandalism, or other natural or human causes. 2. The City may implement different maintenance techniques to provide for different levels of maintenance depending upon the intensity of use and purpose of the site/trail. 3. Park access driveways, parking lots and trails will not be plowed during the snow season unless specific locations or segments are designated by the City Council. 4. Trails not plowed may be used for winter sports during the snow season such as cross- country skiing or sledding; not snowmobiling. 5. All park and trail areas shall be clearly marked with signage, utilizing a clear and concise system of graphics which is consistent throughout the community. Rules for park and trail use shall be posted at the site. 6. Snowmobiles shall only be allowed on designated routes and shall not be operated within public parks or on trails designated for use by pedestrians and bicyclists. 7. The operation of all -terrain vehicles (ATV's) within the City on park property or established trails shall be prohibited. 8. The City shall make every effort to use park and trail facilities for their originally intended purpose. If changes to the system are necessary in the future to resolve problem areas, expand the facilities, etc., the City shall provide compatible new uses that will require minimum alteration of the facility. 9. Inform the Wright County Sheriff as to the location of parks and trails so that they may be watched over as part of the daily surveillance route in order to maintain user safety. CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 1 1 1 1 POLICY PLAN PUBLIC RELATIONSICOMMUNITY POLICIES 1. Develop ways in which to promote citizen interest and involvement in the City's park and trail system. 2. Consider publishing a pamphlet available to residents that shows the trail routes, parks, service and other public facilities. 3. The City shall continually monitor characteristics of park and trail use, safety, and maintenance to identify where improvements or changes are needed. 4. Develop ways to utilize recreation programs and provide facilities to maximize participation and overcome physical or economic limitations which may prevent equal opportunity, regardless of race, sex, religion, or place of residence. Maximize park accessibility by city residents to best serve the area by requiring either vehicular or pedestrian access or both (depending on the size and classification of the park). CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 39 F1 -1 IMPLEMENTATION The final phase of the Park and Trail System Plan establishes a process of projecting land acquisition and park/trail improvements, setting priorities, and scheduling for their provision and financing over a period of time. This process produces a long-range guide for recreation and requires that the City look toward the future to anticipate capital expenditures and to provide revenues to meet them. This section does not take the place of a capital improvements plan in that precise costs are beyond the scope of this document, however, the City must begin thinking about establishment of a five year priority list, analyzing their financial situation, and obtaining cost estimates for the desired short term improvements. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROCESS Capital improvement programming provides an instrument for carrying out the objectives and recommendations of the Albertville Comprehensive Park and Trail System Plan. Through prioritization of five year capital needs for the City's park and recreational facilities and identifying the amount of money available to finance the improvements during this period, the City will be able to determine which improvements are necessary in terms of their ability to pay. The capital improvement program (CIP) is a flexible process, in that as the social, physical and financial conditions change within the City, the priority of the scheduled projects may also change. In response to the changes in the City, the CIP must be an on -going process. Each year the CIP should be re-evaluated for consistency with the Plan, current recreational needs, and fiscal condition of the City. The following process should be utilized by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council when reviewing potential park capital improvement projects. Establish a five year priority list of park/trail capital improvements that reflects current and projected recreation demands. Annually review and revise the five year priority list to reflect current demand and needs. 2. Analyze the City's current financial situation. 3. Obtain up to date cost estimates for high priority items. 4. Develop project descriptions and plans for the desired improvements which include proposed scheduling and phasing. 5. Make copies available of the CIP for public inspection prior to the City Council's presentation of the annual budget at the required public hearing. 6. Begin the process over again following approval of the CIP and the beginning of another calendar year. CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 40 fl 1 I L I IMPLEMENTATION It is recommended that a specific annual CIP review schedule be established for the review of potential park/trail projects. This will enable persons who wish to request consideration of new items to present their position in ample time to change the CIP, if necessary, in a manner consistent with community needs and reducing or eliminating financial commitments being made for projects which might not proceed to the final construction stage in the event that they are deleted or moved back on the priority list. 1997-1998 PARK PRIORITIES Parks shall be constructed on a priority basis, according to the City's capital improvement plan and available funds. The following park projects represent the top priorities (in the order listed) as determined by the Planning and Zoning Commission at the time of document completion in the Summer of 1997. The projects shall be budgeted into the City's 5-year Capital Improvement Plan and shall be completed as time allows. 1. Overall Recreation System - Better maintenance of land (ie: weed problem and sand under playground apparatus) and equipment; Resolve current staffing problem and plan for additional staff as the recreational system grows. 2. Lion's/City Park Land acquisition from Marx 3. Lion's/Ciw Park - Upgrade or replace playground equipment. 4. Oakside Park - Plan for development and purchase of equipment. 5. Winter Park - Plan for development. 1997-1998 TRAIL PRIORITIES Trails shall be constructed on a priority basis, according to the City's capital improvement plan and available funds. The following trail projects represent the top priorities (in the order listed) as determined by the Planning and Zoning Commission at the time of document completion in the Summer of 1997. The projects shall be budgeted into the City's 5-year Capital Improvement Plan and shall be completed as time allows. 1. ' Require trails to be constructed as part of subdivisions (by developers). 2. Highway 19 (west sidel, - CSAH 37 to 53rd Street 3. CSAH 37 - Kalland Drive to 60th Street 4. 57th Street - Between Main Avenue and CSAH 19 (Marx property) 5. Barthel Industrial Drive - North of railroad to Large Avenue to CSAH 37 6. Barthel Industrial Drive - South of railroad to 50th Street CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 1 41 IMPLEMENTATION ILOCAL FUNDING SOURCES Park Dedication Fees For the most part, it is this Plan's intention to provide parks and trails which will not burden the City with high acquisition and construction costs. Land and right-of-way for construction of new recreation facilities will be acquired as part of the dedication process of a subdivision, as donations/gifts, or as an improvement (in the case of trails) to be included as roads are built or upgraded wherever possible. Due to the obstacles that may arise through acquisition of land for parks and trails, the Comprehensive Park and Trail System Plan provides a general layout of proposed park locations and trail routes which may need to be altered at the time of property development and acquisition. At the present time, park land dedication contributions required of developers as a cash donation is $500 per single family residential unit in the City. This fee is charged in those areas where no park land is required or where only a portion of the land dedication amount has been met, and is used for acquisition and development throughout the City. While this process is fairly consistent with neighboring communities, the fee amount as it stands in relation to land costs makes it more advantageous for developers to pay the park dedication fee rather than dedicate land. Furthermore, the current park dedication requirement does not take into account the resident needs (highlighted in the recent survey) and expanded facilities shown in this Plan, both of which will be used as the basis for construction of recreation elements. Without an increase in the park dedication fee, the source of funds budgeted by the City annually for maintenance, development and improvement of parks will be consumed without having met resident needs at a time when population is on a continual rise and development is rampant. An analysis of the proposed system plan, including both parks and trails, in terms of project costs and its impact on the overall system must be determined. Using this data, the necessary increase in park dedication fees can be justified and equitably applied to future subdivision development. Park & Trail System Cost Analysis An estimated cost of city-wide park and trail improvements has been provided as follows and demonstrates the rationale behind increased fees. Both the process of cost estimating and resulting recommendation for fee increases were endorsed by the City Attorney. Also in consideration of park dedication fee and land dedication requirements, an analysis of requirements in surrounding area communities has been provided (Appendix B). Additionally, Appendix C includes example site improvement costs for various park and trail elements to assist in the planning and budgeting process.

Prepared By: Northwest Associated Consultants, Inc. July 10, 1997 / Updated September 2, 1997 Residential Analysis: Existing Residential Units* in the City at 9 or less dwelling units per acre: 779 1 (*Includes available vacant lots) Existing Residential Units in the City at greater than 9 dwelling units per acre: 216 Total Existing Dwelling Units (36% of total anticipated units) 995 Future Residential Units in the City at 9 or less dwelling units per acre: 1,755** ("Based on conceptual plans where complete; includes all land shown as low or medium density on the City's current land use map) Future Residential Units in the City at greater than 9 dwelling units per acre: _0 Total Anticipated Dwelling Units in the City 2,750 If the total park and trail costs of $4,768,800 were to be divided equally among all residential dwelling units in the City (2,750) the per unit cost would be $1,734. If a 10 percent dedication amount were used for land dedications, the City would save $162,500 in acquisition costs thereby bringing the amount per unit cost to $1,675. The dedicated lands acquired at 10 percent of the developers property area would provide parks slightly larger than shown on the plan and all parks would remain within the desirable range of acreage. If at any time, the amount of land was deemed excessive, the City may always require a combination of land and cash. CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 47 IMPLEMENTATION While the cost of $1,734 per unit as calculated above takes all residential units in the City into account, the amount is deceiving for two reasons. Because units within subdivisions where land is dedicated (acreage based on current plans) do not contribute to the cash fund, the amount per unit is actually higher. Furthermore, the total 2,750 dwelling units includes those which already exist and also won't be contributing dedication monies. Therefore, the total park and trail cost of $4,768,800 divided by only new units (1,755) yields a per unit cost of $2,717. If the City of Albertville were to rely on strictly new residential dwelling units, it would need to raise its park dedication fee to $2,717 based on the analysis above to implement the park and trail improvements indicated and "break even". However, this is neither a realistic nor fair expectation and is excessive in relation to neighboring communities and other municipalities in the region. Furthermore, this does not take into commercial and industrial dedications, account donations, grant awards, or bonding amounts which may be obtained. The use of these and other methods will be critical to the success of the park and trail implementation process. A recommendation is also necessary for the percent of land area required from residential developments. Currently the requirement is 5% for less than 9 units per acre and 5.5% for 9 or more dwelling units per acre (plus 1/2% increase for each dwelling unit per acre over 9). Our office recommends 10 and 11%, respectively, based on the calculated park/trail costs with which land dedications must be parallel so as not to make cash dedications more desirable or profitable to developers than land dedications. Commercial & Industrial Analysis: The City as currently zoned contains 343 acres of commercial and 215 acres of industrial land. In addition to this, is the +/-100 acres of land designated Planned Unit Development in anticipation of the outlet mall. Comparing the existing 5% requirement with a (proposed) 10%requirement, the following dedication fees would be collected as shown below: Land Designation & Undeveloped Estimated 5% of fair market 10% of fair market Total Acreage Property Only cost of land value dedicated value dedicated Commercial W4 acres $20,000/acre $334,000 $668,000 343 acres Planned Unit 100 acres $20,000/acre $100,000 $100,000 Development 100 acres Industrial 215 acres 169 acres $15,000 $126,750 $253,500 TOTAL $560,750 $1,021,500 CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 48 I i 1 IMPLEMENTATION At 5%: Total Improvement Costs 4 768 800 less $560,750 = $4,208,050 divided by the total number of residential units expected (2,750) = $1,530 per residential unit cost At 10%: Total Improvement Costs 4 768 800 less $1,021,500 = $3,747,300 divided b the total number of residential units expected (2,750) = $1,362 per residential unit cost Recommended Dedication Fee Increase: It is recommended that the increase in park fees should be at a total cost of $1,300 per unit, based on the analysis above. This equates to an amount comprising about 50% of the unit cost (per new residential units) of $2,717 calculated initially. In reality, new or expected residential units in the City make up 66% of the total anticipated dwelling units in the community. The City must consider several things when deciding at what amount to set the park dedication fee. Most obviously is the speed at which development is desired. If in fact the City is in no hurry to increase its residential population and associated maintenance costs, then a raise in the park fee should be viewed positively in that it may tend to slow development (to a certain degree, depending upon how high the fee is set). Political viewpoints and Land competition also play a part in the decision, but should not cloud the real picture. Lastly, the physical need/demand for and prioritization of park and trail facilities will impact the decision, showing how badly the parks/trails are wanted or needed. Most importantly, however, is the fact that through this cost analysis, we have shown the recommended increase of $1,300 to be equitable and proportional to the development's impact on the recreational system. Regardless of the fee amount, it is assumed that levy amounts, grants, donations, etc. will cover the remaining costs such as design/planning of individual park areas, administrative time for ordinance amendments and review as well as inflated construction costs. Maintenance would be covered by the recommended $50 per year user fee to be charged to existing households (see draft ordinance). User/Service Fees Although historically limited to special use recreational facilities, such as hockey arenas or swimming pools, the use of user/service fees as a financing tool is being expanded by many communities to include other facilities and programs. User/service fee revenues can be generated on a user basis for such activities as golf, tennis, swimming, and team sports such as softball, baseball, soccer, football, etc. A key component required for instituting user/service fees as a revenue source is having a defined and identifiable user population. The decision to use these types of fees will generally reflect considerations such as projected costs, availability of other sources of funding and local recreation policies. Rates for residents may differ from those outside the City and should be set at a level which will, at least in part, off -set the costs of developing and maintaining public facilities. CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 49 1 IMPLEMENTATION CONCEPT PLANS Usually prepared in a series, concept plans are site -specific and serve as the basic documents for the layout, facility mix, landscaping, and construction details for a park or recreation facility. For this reason, they are best prepared once the Comprehensive Park and Trail System Plan has been completed and location of individual park sites determined. They are based upon a well- defined program of recreation facilities and services to be provided and the overall physical arrangement of such. The City opted not to include such plans within this document, but rather pursue completion of such in future years. Their preparation will become a necessity in defining project costs as part of the yearly budgeting or Capital Improvement Process. LAND ACQUISITION Park and trail land dedication will play a major role in acquiring and developing park/trail facilities, particularly in the western and northern portions of the City, although is not possible in all cases. Acquisition through dedication is a long-term process since land can only be obtained as the abutting land is developed. While the outright purchase of land is many times prohibitive due to investment costs and anticipated benefit per capita through the City, it will be necessary where developments are already in place and lack recreational facilities or to acquire special, distinct pieces of land which would otherwise be difficult or impossible to obtain through park dedication. While portions of Albertville contain developments that are already in place where several of the trail corridors are proposed and will likely require land acquisition through purchase or the establishment of easements, the utilization of road rights -of -way can also provide an easy alternative for establishing public trail routes. CONSISTENCY WITH PLAN ELEMENTS & ORDINANCES Parks and trails have a positive, but often intangible, effect on the economy and quality of life in suburban areas. A healthy attractive neighborhood results when a combination of factors are present, for example, well kept homes, adequate jobs, quality public services, including well planned and maintained recreation facilities. Many communities are encouraging the rehabilitation of older homes in established neighborhoods where, congruently, parks and trails can also be upgraded or expanded where necessary. In this regard, it is important that the Park and Trail Policy Plan contained herein is followed in association with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan Policies. In fact, the Park and Trail System Plan will actually be adopted as an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. Implementation programs involving capital outlays, levied fees, zoning and related actions must be consistent with the Plan's policies. Arbitrary departure from adopted or endorsed policy statements could lead to litigation. The focus of attention on a broad policy framework provides more flexibility for CITY OF ALB ERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 50 1 1 IMPLEMENTATION guiding governmental response to rapid physical, economic and social change. Since the Plan documents a continuous planning process and records this evolution only for a given segment of time, regular review and updating are critical. Along these lines, the City's Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances must also be consistent with established Plan elements or they will be difficult, if not impossible to command and execute. Ordinance amendments are a critical part of the Implementation process which should directly follow completion of this Plan. Without update of existing code requirements, the City may miss out on opportunities to realize potential benefits of newly established policies, particularly when the development season is upon us and the rate of growth is accelerating throughout the community. Specific ordinance criteria to address includes: park dedication requirements, trail width and location standards, tree planting requirements, etc. PROGRAM ASSISTED FUNDING OPTIONS While parkland acquisition and development are capital outlays that are typically financed with the revenues from City dedication or general funds, there are other methods available to assist the City in raising necessary money for large projects. The following grant programs may be available to the City if the intended project(s) comply with the submission criteria. DNR Outdoor Recreation Grant Program (LAWCON - Land and Water Conservation Fund) The goal of the Outdoor Recreation Grant Program is to assist communities in acquiring, developing, and/or redeveloping facilities for outdoor recreation use. The grants can fund up to 50 percent of a total project cost, while the remaining local share can consist of local funding, materials, labor, and equipment through local sponsors or donations. The land must be owned by the applicant and must be developed completely within three years from the date of fund acquisition. One or more of the following facilities must be included in a proposed project. Baseball/Softball Fields Boat Launching Sites Canoe Access Sites Fishing Piers/Shore Fishing Nature Study/Observation Areas Playgrounds Swimming Beaches Trails Basketball/Hard Courts Campgrounds Cross -Country Ski Trails Football/Soccer Fields Picnic Shelters Skating/Hockey Rinks Tennis Courts Volleyball Courts In addition, support facilities are also eligible for funding provided at least one facility from the above list is provided. Support facilities include drinking fountains, fencing, fire pits/grills, landscaping, lighting, roadstparking, benches/seats, trash receptacles, restroom/shower/storage buildings, signs, sledding hills, warming houses, utilities, and design/engineering costs (up to 10 percent). CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 51 I IMPLEMENTATION DNR Cooperative Trail Grant Program The emphasis of this program is to promote trail access between people and desirable destinations, not to develop significant new recreation facilities. Its primary purpose is to complete trail connections or remove barriers to use between where people live (residential areas within cities and communities) and significant public recreation facilities (parks and other trails). Priority will be given to residential connections to state and regional facilities. A secondary purpose is to link existing trail segments. The project must result in a trail linkage that is immediately available for use by the general public. There must be demonstrated compatibility of the uses provided by the project proposal with uses provided by the recreation facility. Local/area support must be demonstrated. This program requires a fifty percent local funding match of between $5,000 and $50,000. Costs must be incurred and paid for before reimbursement can take place. Further information may be obtained from the Recreational Services Section of the DNR in St. Paul. II DNR National Recreation Trail Fund Program (ISTEA - Bicycle Transportation and the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991) This program aims to increase the importance of bicycles and pedestrians as part of an intermodal transportation system. It provides financial assistance for the development and maintenance of recreational trails and trail -related projects. The following types of projects are eligible for funding. 1. Construction of new trails on federal (with limitations), state, county, municipal or private lands. 2. Development of urban trail linkages near homes and workplaces. 3. Maintenance of existing recreational trails, including snow grooming and maintenance. 4. Restoration of areas damaged by recreational trail use. 5. Development of trail -side and trail -head facilities (ie: drainage, crossings, stabilization, parking, signage, controls, shelters, and utilities). 6. Provision of features that facilitate access and use of trails by persons with disabilities. 7. Land acquisition from willing sellers when consistent with the State Trail Plan. 8. Environmental awareness and safety education programs relating to the use of recreational trails. CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 52 1 IMPLEMENTATION This program requires a fifty percent local funding match of between $5,000 and $50,000. Costs must be incurred and paid for before reimbursement can take place. Further information may be obtained from the Recreational Services Section of the DNR in St. Paul. DNR Regional Trail Initiative Grant Program (ISTEA - Bicycle Transportation and the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991) This program is intended to promote local development of trails and encourage utilization of federal ISTEA Enhancement funds. No less than sixty percent of the funds would be directed to regionally significant trails, no more than forty percent of the funds would be directed to trails within/between communities. Priority would be given to ISTEA Enhancement projects. Eligible projects include land acquisition and trail development, however, the acquisition of right-of-way will only be eligible when it is proposed in conjunction with trail development. This program requires a fifty percent local funding match of between $5,000 and $250,000. Costs must be incurred and paid for before reimbursement can take place. Further information may be obtained from the Recreational Services Section of the DNR in St. Paul. Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources The LCMR program works toward enhancing and protecting Minnesota's natural resources. One or more of the following strategies must be met in order to be considered for available funds. The list is a partial list of strategies and represents the order of priority in which funds are given. A complete list of project components, application requirements, and funding cycles can be obtained from the State Offices. Rehabilitate state and regional parks/trails. 2. Acquire and develop state and regional parks and trails. 3. Acquire, protect, and enhance critical habitat, native prairies, unique and/or sensitive areas, scenic bluffs, aquatic resources, old -growth forests, and historic sites. 4. Expand rural and urban revegetation with native species, including community shade tree programs. Implement native species tree planting for energy conservation, carbon dioxide abatement, erosion control, wildlife habitat, and other benefits. 5. Research and demonstrate ecologically sound methods to control or eradicate exotic species of plants or animals which are or may become a threat to the environment. 6. Accelerate the implementation of measures to reduce non -point source pollution. 7. Provide for all types of wetland purchase, restoration and easement acquisition to enhance wildlife habitat, erosion control, water storage, flood control, and water quality. CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 53 IMPLEMENTATION 8. Accelerate the use of farming practices consistent with wildlife habitat and environmental and human health protection. 9. Create qualitative and quantitative benchmarks, including biological indicators, for key natural resources to permit effective monitoring and assessment of environmental trends. OPERATION & MAINTENANCE One of the final levels of recreation planning addresses the operation and maintenance plan for parks, trails, recreation and open space facilities. Part of the Implementation process is to provide tools for the development of facilities and delivery of services necessary for the provision of recreation experiences. These action plans include capital improvement programs, operations manuals, personnel tracking plans, zoning, scheduling and maintenance standards. Albertville, along with professionals in the field, must combine the art and science of park management in order to balance park and open space resource values with the provision of needed recreation facilities. The park and recreation standards which were utilized herein serve as one of the bench marks against which the quality of life within a community can be measured. COMMUNITY EDUCATION An important aspect of park and trail development is user knowledge of the recreational facilities. To promote the use of the community recreational system, the City should provide informational material to residents as the facilities are implemented. A newsletter and map mailed to each household or an article in a local newspaper are probably the best means by which to accomplish this. At the same time, the City should work to establish a list of rules and encourage community awareness of such. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION The development or improvement of parks and trails in the City is an excellent way to energize and direct the resources and talents of community volunteers, who are becoming more important in the delivery of quality leisure services. This approach can result in higher quality recreation opportunities at a more reasonable cost to the taxpayer. Under this scenario, it is essential that the City organize projects and cooperate with the volunteers of non-profit, private, industrial, commercial, or religious groups in the planning, financing, maintenance, and scheduling of projects. CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 54 I_ l IMPLEMENTATION IDENTIFICATION & SIGNAGE A clear and concise system of park and trail signage is beneficial in any recreational system to assist users in finding and using the facilities. Many times signage is also beneficial when installed to identify future park or trail improvements as a means of informing prospective owners of adjacent/nearby property and for general public knowledge to let citizens know of work in progress. Most commonly associated with existing facilities, directional graphics may be in the form of painted pavement symbols/lettering or any variety of regulatory, warning, or guidance signage. Signage should include general identification of an area, layout and types of facilities present, directions for specific points of interest such as handicapped areas, restrooms, or connections to destinations, trail distances, and user/safety rules. The best location for much of this information is near the entrances to parks/trail segments or near parking areas. The signage should be consistent throughout the City and should be easily understandable and maintainable. The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration has outlined size, shape, and color criteria for signs in -the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).

' CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 60 k l� J PSI APPENDIX A - COMMUNITY RECREATION SURVEY & RESULTS SURVEY RESULTS A total of 678 surveys were mailed and 109 of them were returned. This is a sixteen percent sample of the Albertville population. For reference, a fifteen percent return rate is considered good. Generally speaking, respondents were thorough and answered each question as instructed. Questions which had inappropriate responses or were incomplete could not be counted, so in fact the total number of respondents falls below 109 in some areas. Question One asked residents which of the park facilities located in Albertville they have used within the last year. The most used park facilities were playgrounds and picnic areas with 69% and 40% of the respondents using each, respectively, followed by softball/baseball fields at 32% and tennis courts at 309/6. The volleyball court (15%) and exercise area (8%) were used the least by respondents. Write-in comments which specify other facilities used by respondents included the warming house/ice rink, the walking path in Four Season's Park and the high school track.

The majority (70%) of respondents were very satisfied with (c) the location/proximity of park facilities to their homes. In all other categories, the majority of residents were somewhat satisfied with the City's park facilities, although many people (28%) were very satisfied with all aspects of the City's park facilities. Respondents were least satisfied with (d) the size/design and (e) maintenance/condition of facilities and equipment, with 14% stating so in each category. The second part of Question Two asked respondents to identify any aspects of the park system which they feel are inadequate at the present time. Comments included (in no particular order) the number of ball fields, lack of all types of trails, lack of swimming area, poor park maintenance, playground equipment in Lion's Park, lack of grass area in Westwind Park, basketball nets/rims are damaged or missing, lack of/poor condition of tennis courts, hockey and in -line skating area, no permanent restroom facility, and lack of natural (trees) park spaces.

Categories (a) through (c), walking/ jogging (830/6), bicycling (80%), and skating (81 %) were all performed most often on local streets by respondents. Very few (less than 10%) of respondents utilize trails or sidewalks, most likely due to their limited existence in Albertville. Snowmobiles most often used established trails for travel. Fifty-three (53%) percent of respondents use undeveloped and natural areas for hiking and nature walks. Several people stated that they must leave town and/or utilize regional park areas for hiking purposes.

Youth activities included baseball/softball, football, gymnastics, bowling, biking, swimming, basketball, volleyball, girl/boy scouts, dancing, community education classes, tennis, cross-country, hockey, and karate. The locations for youth activities were most often in the St. Michael -Albertville area, as well as in Buffalo, Hanover, Rogers, Elk River, Delano, Monticello, and Minneapolis. Adult programs included baseball/softball, biking, volleyball, golfing, community education, aerobics, basketball, tennis, and football. These activities were located in the same cities as the youth activities as well as Brooklyn Center, Champlin, Brooklyn Park, Rockford, Dayton, Waverly, Anoka, and Maple Grove. Question Seven asked residents whether the City's current park facilities should be expanded. The majority (66%) of respondents feel than new parks should be developed in areas of the community where they are needed to serve the growing population. Question 7 A B Total = 101 67 34 Question Eight asked residents whether they preferred a large, well equipped centralized park facility located farther from their home or several, small, neighborhood facilities with less equipment but which are nearer to their homes. The majority (61 %) of respondents preferred small, neighborhood parks. -Question 8 A B Total = 98 38 60 Question Nine asked residents if they would support a plan to expand and improve City/Lion's Park to be used as the City's community -wide recreational facility. The majority (49%) of respondents said 'yes', while 25% said 'no' and 26% said `maybe'. Those who stated they might consider the project wanted more information regarding costs and what types of facilities would be included. New ideas included an in -line skating park, connecting trails, more activities than just playground, swimming pool area, and running track. Many questioned the need for additional ball fields.

The second part of Question Eleven asked residents to state what types of recreational facilities they definitely do not want. There were no answers to this question which stood out to a large extent over others. The most popular answer was snowmobile trails, but this included only 5% of respondents. Hockey rink and ballfields were tied for the next most unwanted facility (4.5%), followed by swimming pool (4%), and golf (3.5%). Other answers included: dirt racing track, horseback riding, gym/health club, tennis courts, volleyball, basketball court, volleyball, motor boating, water skiing, cross-country skiing, camping, and exercise area. CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 64 1 APPENDIX A - COMMUNITY RECREATION SURVEY & RESULTS Question Twelve asked residents to what areas of the City they would like to see trails expanded by numbering them in order of priority. Residential neighborhoods were most often the first choice of respondents (31%), followed by second choice (24%) and fourth choice (15%) in the list of priorities. City parks and facilities were also high on the priority list for respondents whose responses were third choice (29%), second choice (28%), and first choice (25%). Regional park and trail connections were most often the third choice (26%) of respondents, followed by second choice (18%) and a tie for fourth/fifth choice (14%). Schools were viewed as important connections to respondents who listed this as their first choice (27%), fourth (21 %) and third (17%) choices. Commercial/industrial areas were not a high priority for respondents who most often listed this .item as last (58%), or second to last (14%). Neighboring communities were also not viewed as a critical connection and were most often listed as sixth (34%) on the priority list, followed by fifth (24%), and fourth (14%). Lakes also did not take precedent over other locations and were most often listed as fourth (22%), fifth (200/6), or sixth (26%) in order of priority. In summary, residential neighborhoods, city parks/facilities, schools, and regional parks/trails were the most desired locations to which to expand trails.

The second most popular answer (at 31 %) was a combination of a multi -use trail system and separated bicycle/walking trails. Twenty-five (25%) percent of respondents want to see all pedestrian and bicycle trails separate. Ten percent of respondents do not want any trails. Question 15 A B C D Total = 102 35 25 32 10 Question Sixteen asked respondents where they think the best location would be for trails. Most (58%) want all trails overland, completely separate from roadways, although another 23% said that this location was their second priority. Respondents most often listed off-street trails as their second priority (39%), although this response as a first priority followed closely behind at 36%. Pedestrian trails off-street and bicycle trails on -street was the answer that respondents most often listed as their third (38%) or fourth (25%) priority. About one third or 35% of respondents want to see all varying combinations of trail locations. A large majority of respondents (79%) listed on - street trails as their last priority.

The majority of respondents (63%) said they would buy a lot that was located adjacent to a park. The majority of respondents also stated that they would buy a lot that had a trail adjacent to it, however, they felt most comfortable with a trail in the front like a sidewalk (64%) versus a trail adjacent to the side yard (52%) or rear yard (58%). The majority (61 %) of respondents were concerned about a possible lack of privacy, too much traffic flow, loitering/kids hangout, ease of accessibility to yard or house/night time intruders, vandalism, noise, or littering/animal debris. In these instances, the majority of respondents felt that a natural vegetative screen or greater amounts of space/setback to the public park or trail would be the best solution. Others felt that a fence would do the job or that such public areas should only be established in new subdivisions or that collector streets should be installed wide enough to accommodate trails. Another recommendation was made to check into what the City of Maple Grove does (close trails after dark) and keep trails visible for safety reasons.

I prefer a parallel system of trails where bikes and walkers are separated, but in proximity to one another. 19 Taxes are not low like they used to be. 22 We would love new facilities but we can't afford the taxes as it is. 29 Affordable housing 37 Try not to use local streets for trails, keep them on main roads. 39 Overall, I feel our City and parks are adequate and quite functional. 40 We need trails, not little playgrounds. I won't pay anything for little playgrounds that aren't kept up. 46 No more parks unless the existing ones are improved first. Trails should be provided as cheaply as possible between neighborhoods and parks. 50 We don't need new parks, just need to change and update existing ones. Why does it take so much longer for Albertville to establish amenities? Maybe if we were a community open to progress, such as letting new businesses and industries into the area without making it difficult (its obvious they're not wanted), we would be able to afford more fro our community and schools. Businesses bring tax money - wake up! 73 Easy access to 1-94, large yard. 96 I'm not interested in seeing my property taxes increase so we duplicate what is readily available in nearby communities (ie: swimming pool), but maybe some enhancements to current facilities would be okay. 101 1 would not buy another home in Albertville, taxes are too high for what we receive 104 It is important to develop a park area around the lakes somewhere. The center of the city (highlighted area shown on Marx property) could be developed into a park area which would connect the area west of CSAH 19 to the Main Street, downtown, primary school area, expand Lion's Park to provide additional ball park, provide trails and GREEN SPACE. This is important for mental and physical being of the people. The Psyk property was shown as an area where connection should be made to high school for walking and recreation. CITY OF ALBERTVILLE 1997 COMPREHENSIVE PARK & TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN 79 1 APPENDIX B -FEE INVENTORY Rogers 10% $560 (plan on 10% Commercial: None, but raising to $2,000/acre currently $650 to 675) Industrial: pursuing $1,400/acre St. Michael 8% $300 None, but City is considering None Winstead None None None (a) Combination of land/cash also possible where such dedications are required (1) Maple Grove has over 70 miles of paved trails and many are located along the side or rear lot lines of residential parcels. They require a 30 to 100 foot corridor within which an 8-10 foot trail is constructed according to the Plan. The dedicated land is part of the required 10% land area. In addition to this requirement, 5 foot sidewalks are required on both sides of the street in all new subdivisions. They have not had any problems with resident complaints. (2) Monticello requires cash dedications in an amount equal to 10% of the raw land. Monticello requires trails to be installed by developers as shown on their Plan. The Policy requires a trail on one or both sides of the street (depending upon the situation) along all roads which exceed 500-700 vehicle trips per day. Monticello has an established commercial and industrial dedication amount (10%), but it has never been used. (3) Plymouth has over 75 miles of paved trails, with many located in rear and side yard areas of residential lots. A minimum corridor size of 30 feet is required to be dedicated land, so as not to lessen the required setback from property lines (an easement would allow the trail to be located closer to the home). The required trail width Is 8 feet. They have had very few complaints, but recommend getting the trails installed before homes are built, However, in commercial and industrial areas the opposite method of trail establishment is used: easements are required to allow the owner to maximize r` use of his land. The cash dedication amount is $4,200/acre in commercial and industrial areas.

They require a 30 to 100 foot corridor within which an 8-10 foot trail is constructed according to the Plan. The dedicated land is part of the required 10% land area. In addition to this requirement, 5 foot sidewalks are required on both sides of the street in all new subdivisions. They have not had any problems with resident complaints. (2) Monticello requires cash dedications in an amount equal to 10% of the raw land. Monticello requires trails to be installed by developers as shown on their Plan. The Policy requires a trail on one or both sides of the street (depending upon the situation) along all roads which exceed 500-700 vehicle trips per day. Monticello has an established commercial and industrial dedication amount (10%), but it has never been used. (3) Plymouth has over 75 miles of paved trails, with many located in rear and side yard areas of residential lots. A minimum corridor size of 30 feet is required to be dedicated land, so as not to lessen the required setback from property lines (an easement would allow the trail to be located closer to the home). The required trail width is 8 feet. They have had very few complaints, but recommend getting the trails installed before homes are built. However, in commercial and industrial areas the opposite method of trail establishment is used: easements are required to allow the owner to maximize use of his land. The cash dedication amount is $4,200/acre in commercial and industrial areas.
