Public Works Director Mattson also updated the Commission of the maintenance planning for trails that the City will be taking ownership of within the coming years. Public Works Director Mattson informed the Commission of utility planning including the purchasing of the plant and municipal well land. Vice-Chairperson Meister asked if the Public Works Department had spoken with other Public Works Departments about the equipment they use, to which Public Works Director Mattson informed the Commission that they connect with surrounding communities and Three Rivers Park Districts to determine what equipment is necessary for proper maintenance. Chairperson Anderson requested more information about the City’s salt usage compared to surrounding cities, to which Public Works Director Mattson informed the Commission that staff attends trainings to manage salt usage and staff was using their best judgement on salt usage. Public Works Director Mattson updated the Commission of the utility stubbing that took place from Rush Creek Reserve to City Park that would save money that could later be reallocated for other items at the park. c. Corcoran Police Department Director of Public Safety Gottschalk informed the Commission of the BCA audits, hardware and software security, and consulting with CIT for data protection measures. Director of Public Safety Gottschalk discussed employee retention and recruitment following some turnover and new hires.

Commissioners thanked Director of Public Safety Gottschalk for the service of the officers, and he thanked the community for partnering with the police department. 7. Unfinished Business – None 8. New Business a. Site Plan, Preliminary Plat and Administrative Permit for “Corcoran II Substation” Recreation Supervisor Christensen Buck provided an overview of the proposed substation located on County Road 116 and Larkin Road that would create one lot and two outlots. Recreation Supervisor Christensen Buck informed the Commission that the applicant would acquire 4.37 acres from the existing 36.92 acres, but due to the City’s proposed linear park along 116, staff suggests accepting the land for park dedication. Commissioner Hoffmann requested additional information on the linear park, to which Chairperson Anderson informed the Commission that the park would be a wide trail with a vegetation buffer. Commissioners requested more information about the purpose of the substation and if it was replacing a previous substation. Curt Cordt, Director of Engineering with Wright-Hennepin Cooperative Electric, informed the Commissioners that it would help relieve some of the pressure being put on the other substation. Commissioners requested more information regarding the vegetation buffers and safety measures in place to prevent people from entering the substation land. Cordt informed the Commissioners that this substation would have vegetation and safety measures in place to deter people from entering. Commissioners reviewed the artist renditions of the vegetation buffer brought forward by Wright-Hennepin Cooperative Electric. Eli CITY OF CORCORAN Sack, GIS Technician with Wright-Hennepin Cooperative Electric, also noted that the vegetation would be shorter than the electric lines going into the substation. Motion: Made by Christenson, seconded by Meister, to accept the land-in-lieu of cash for park dedication. Voting Aye: Anderson, Christenson, Hoffmann, and Meister. (Motion carried 4:0) 9. Reports/Information a.

Agenda Item: 8a. TO: Corcoran Parks and Trails Commission FROM: Kevin Shay through Kendra Lindahl, Landform DATE: March 10, 2022 for the March 17, 2022 Parks and Trails Commission Meeting RE: Preliminary Plat Application for “Kariniemi Meadows” at 23185 County Road 10 (PID 18-119- 23-11-0002) (City File No. 22-013) 120-DAY REVIEW DEADLINE: June 28, 2022 1.Description of Request The applicant is requesting approval of a preliminary plat to create 10 rural residential lots on the 124.5- acre property. Lot 10 does not show a home site and should be platted as Outlot A. It will retain three development rights and may be platted in the future. 2.Context Background The site is an existing 124.5-acre lot with a single family residential structure on the northeast corner of the site. There are 13 development rights on the property. Zoning and Land Use The site is guided Rural/Ag Residential in the Comprehensive Plan and is zoned RR (Rural Residential). A shoreland overlay district and floodplain overlay district runs through the center of the property for Rush Creek. Surrounding Properties The properties to the east, south and west are guided Rural/Ag Residential and zoned RR (Rural Residential). The properties to the north are guided Rural Service/Commercial and zoned CR (Rural Commercial). The public works facility is surrounded by this property on the western portion of the site. Natural Characteristics of the Site Rush Creek runs through the center of the site and creates a larger floodplain area. There are natural plant communities on the site identified as a high-quality maple/basswood area on the Natural Resource Inventory Areas Map in the Comprehensive Plan. Multiple wetlands are shown on Hennepin County’s Natural Resources mapping software as shown on the Site Location map. Kariniemi Meadows PP (22-013) 2 March 17, 2022 3. Analysis Trails and Sidewalks There is an existing on-road trail in the County Road 19 right-of-way and this trail is separated from the street by a landscaped boulevard. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan has a proposed on-road trail shown along northern boundary of this property on County Road 10. We are waiting for confirmation from the county to ensure there is adequate right of way being dedicated for this trail. The Parks and Trails Plan map in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan identifies a proposed off-road trail that runs along the Rush Creek corridor. A proposed off-road trail is shown along the western side of Rush Creek. Staff is recommending the trail connection be extended from the south side of the property at Rush Creek out to County Road 19. City policy is to require an 8-ft. wide trail in a 20-ft wide easement for off-road trails and give credit for the net area (gross area minus wetlands and areas below the 100-year ordinary high water elevation) of off-road trails shown in the Comprehensive Plan. The trail easement is located almost entirely within the floodplain and the majority of the current easement location will not qualify for park dedication. Furthermore, the location of the trail in the floodplain means it will be susceptible to flooding. At the time of this report, the city engineer was still reviewing the data provided by the applicant. It appears that additional topographic data and floodplain data is required. We recommend that the applicant provide a cross section showing how the trail could be built at a grade that would not flood. If the trail cannot be raised above the flood elevation, the City has three options: a) Build a boardwalk in the floodplain. Staff does not recommend due to costs. b) Build a wood chip or mown trail that can flood. This type of trail would limit accessibility to residents with physical challenges and is more challenging for bicyclists and people with strollers to navigate. c) Move the trail to the west side of the property. Staff does not recommend moving the trail away from the creek toward public works. • The Parks Commission should discuss if this location is appropriate for the trail easement as the trail would need to be raised or constructed as a boardwalk or woodchip trail to avoid regular flooding. As the City continues to obtain trail easements in support of completing the off-road trail along Rush Creek, the Commission should be thoughtful about the location of the easements and trail easements should be acquired on predominantly one side of the creek to reduce the number of crossings. In the rural areas, the City has typically accepted the trail dedication, but not required the developer to construct the trail. However, in this case the trail is recommended to connect from County Road 10 to the County Road 19 trail. Therefore, staff recommends that developer construct the trail as part to the project. Section 955.020 of the Subdivision Ordinance requires the developer to provide finished grading and ground cover for all trails within their developments. No credit toward the required dedication shall be given for this work. The City reserves the right to pave the trails or require the Kariniemi Meadows PP (22-013) 3 March 17, 2022 developer to pave these off-road trails. Should the City require the developer to pave the trails, the City shall reimburse the Developer for the costs for paving of the trail. • The Parks Commission should provide a recommendation on whether or not the trail should be constructed by the developer with reimbursement for the pavement according to the City fee schedule (if a paved trail is recommended). Park Dedication Calculation Under the current ordinance, park dedication of land is required at 4% of the net pre-development area for Rural/Ag Residential land. Park dedication is only taken for newly created lots (9 new lots). The ordinance would require 1.98 net acres of park dedication for the 49.5 net acres (124.54 gross acres) being platted. The applicant would need to provide the final acreage as part of the final plat application. As requested through the sketch plan, the applicant provided a trail easement along the western side of Rush Creek. This easement measures approximately 3,107 ft. long and 20 ft. wide. The applicant’s proposed trail easement is 1.43 (gross) acres in size. A large portion, approximately 1.3 acres, of this trail easement is located within the floodplain and will not receive park dedication credit. Staff is recommending the trail easement be extended to County Road 19. This would provide roughly 1,250 additional feet or 0.57 acres to the trail that would qualify for park dedication. The applicant will need to provide calculations for the portion of the trail easement located within the floodplain as part of the final plat application. The developer would pay park dedication as cash-in-lieu for the remaining value of park dedication required. If the applicant were to keep the trail easement running along Rush Creek and add the connection to County Road 19 then the approximate area qualifying for park dedication would be 0.70 acres or 35.4% of the park dedication requirement. For residential developments, the current cash-in-lieu of land fee has been calculated on the per capita share of park system costs at $4,628 per single family unit. This calculation is shown below. The proposed trail easement provides a connection between the existing trail easement and the proposed public right of way. The calculations below outline the park dedication fees for each use based on the current plan and the staff recommended plan. Staff recommends the City accept the amended trail easement and the remainder of the park dedication be cash-in-lieu of land. If the City followed the adopted policy to only give credit for net trail area and pay the remaining as cash-in lieu of the park dedication fee would be as follows: 9 Single Family Units x $4,628 = $41,652 35.4% Dedicated Park Land Credit = $14,725.45 TOTAL = $26,926.55 The final park dedication calculation will be based on final land area calculations and the fee schedule in place at the time of release of the final plat. Kariniemi Meadows PP (22-013) 4 March 17, 2022 Staff will continue to work with the applicant between the preliminary and final plat to update plans to appropriately accommodate the proposed off-road trail. 4.

To create that plan, the first steps are to determine the information that the Commission is looking to include on these signs. In previous discussions, there has been conversation about three different kinds of signs: 1. Entrance signs: Generally located at the entrance of a park and contains at least the name of the park, but can also include items such as a logo, city name, address, etc. 2. Rules signs: Located throughout the park and educates users of the park rules. 3. Educational/interpretive signs: Located in certain areas of the park and highlights specific trees, paths, flowers, or other natural resources to encourage engagement by users. Internally, staff have discussed the number of signs that would be allowed on-site per the City’s code. Below is the information that was determined: • Every public or institutional property (city hall, parks, churches, etc.) gets one 64 square foot freestanding sign that must be 10 feet from all property lines (lighting standards also apply, but were not discussed at this stage). There is currently a limit of 1 freestanding sign on-site at the parks. • Detached freestanding signs smaller than 4 square feet in area and less than 4 feet in height, are exempt from a permit. There is not currently a limit to the number of freestanding signs that would be allowed on-site at the parks. While the intention of this discussion is not to determine locations for signs, staff wanted to note that due to City Park being made up of two parcels of land, the location would allow for two freestanding/entrance signs. 8b. During 2021, the Parks and Trails Commission recommended updating the park rules/ordinances to Council. By updating them, it will help prevent future changes to the signs and the plan. Attached to this memo is the updated park rules/ordinances that can help guide the discussion about what the Commission would like to see on the signs. The second attachment has examples of various signs from different cities in the metro area. Shown are a variety of entrance and rules signs. The purpose of the discussion on March 17, 2022, is for Commissioners to determine what information they would like to see on the entrance and rules signs. The educational/interpretive signs, locations of the signs, and specific design specifications are scheduled to be brought to a later meeting. By determining the information that the Commission would like to see on the signs, this will assist staff in finding appropriate options for design. Attachments: 8b1. Ordinance No. 2022-452 8b2.
