highlighted areas of the updates including the multi-use field, parking lot, playground splashpad,
pickleball courts, and park building. HKGi Landscape Architect Grinde noted that the tennis courts,
Diamond Lake Regional Trail, and amphitheater were shown as alternatives. Commissioners
discussed trail design and crossings, noting the crossing at County Road 10 as mentioned during
Open Forum. HKGi Landscape Architect Grinde noted that information was provided to Three Rivers
Park District regarding the cost estimate and design thus far, but continued work would ensue to
determine if it would be a phase 1 project. Commissioner Schmidt inquired about having a
destination playground, to which Recreation Supervisor Christensen Buck noted that additional
photos and models of the playground would be presented at a later meeting but the current
renditions were to provide a visual for the park design. Commissioners discussed considerations
towards the entrance and exit, elevation of the building, and a rinse off station by the splash pad.
Recreation Supervisor Christensen Buck highlighted the need for turn lanes from County Road 50
as a requirement from the County for the main entrances. City Administrator Tobin spoke to his
experience with splashpads and the benefits of recirculation systems versus pass thru splashpads
which can develop mold. Chairperson Christenson asked about expanding pickleball courts to the
west and allow for for further curve of the Diamond Lake Regional Trail. Commissioners discussed
the trails around the splashpad and playground area, looking to limit the amount of pavement while
still allowing for accessibility for strollers. Commissioners discussed the elevations and viewpoints
with the hillsides, noting they will likely be a popular place for people to watch their kids enjoy
recreational activities at the park. City Administrator Tobin noted having double doors on the
mechanical/storage room and catering kitchen at the park building, room dividers for the main
space, and storage in the kitchen. Discussions occurred regarding City functions and events
occurring at the new building, including firearm safety classroom sessions, recreation programming,
and as an election precinct. Commissioners expressed an interest in a farm aesthetic for the park
building, highlighting potential use of a hip roof, wood aesthetics, and overhangs on the sides.
Commissioner Anderson requested a focus on the air quality inside of the building, while being
mindful of the sound levels for the system to allow for attendees to be able to hear clearly while
inside. Commissioner Anderson brought up considerations for sustainability, noting the potential for
solar panels on the roof of the building. City Administrator Tobin noted as aesthetical preferences
are raised, there would be costs that add up quickly. Commissioners discussed giving up some
building space as necessary to allocate funds towards other amenities. Chairperson Christenson
inquired about funding options, to which City Administrator Tobin highlighted prioritized amenities
and careful considerations when installing add-ons to amenities.

______________________________________________________________________
Summary
Following the meeting on August 15, 2024, staff have continued working with HKGi,
Stantec, and Oertel to update the plans for the park and building during the schematic
design phase. The soil borings have also been completed since the last meeting.
Attached are the current plans for the park and building for review from the Parks and
Trails Commission.
Shown on the park plans, in coordination with the legend shown on 7a1., are the
following:
1.Multi-use field area
a.Shifted slightly to accommodate potential future pickleball to the south and
include storage to the north as an alternate.
b.The soccer field layout has been modified to accommodate the existing wetland
in the northwest part of the open fields. This wetland will need a buffer that is
approximately 25 feet wide.
2.6 pickleball courts
a.Potential future phase expansion shown to the south but would be green space
during phase 1.
b.Direct parking lot access.
3.Stormwater/Trail
a.Trail is curved to accommodate stormwater and possible pickleball expansion
b.Direct connection of trail to the parking lot.
4.Parking lot
a.Removal of western bump out of parking lot to reduce cost.
7a.
8200 County Road 116 Corcoran, MN 55340
763-420-2288 www.corcoranmn.gov
b.Additional parking around curved edges of the lot.
c.Removal of eastern parking area to reduce initial paving costs but allowing for
overflow parking in the grass area.
d.Both accesses to the parking lot along the entranceway are dual in and out
purpose.
5.Youth Ballfield
a.Distance from the back of home plate to the outfield border is shown as 200’.
i.Would be usable for the Little Leage (Majors) which includes 9–12-year-
olds.
ii.This would accommodate programs that are currently run for youth
baseball (offerings through 10-years old).
6.Playground
a.Limited the amount of extra concrete paths.
b.Three containers for the playground – 2–5-year-old, 5-12-year-old, and ziplines
are shown.
c.Hillside allows a shaded area to see t-ball and the playground.
d.Direct pathway to the playground from the northeast section of the parking lot.
e.Trails connecting to the north, to allow access to the east-west navigating trail.
7.Splashpad
a.Recirculation system is preferred following conversation at the August 15, 2024,
Parks and Trails Commission meeting.
b.Additional building shown near splashpad for mechanical, due to the elevation
difference between the splashpad and the building. There is an opportunity to
include additional cold storage in this structure, if desired.
c.Direct pathways to the splashpad from the parking lot.
8.Patio and Pavilion
a.Disconnected from building to eliminate some cost.
b.Provides overview of the playground, splashpad, t-ball fields, and Lions Field.
c.Is there interest from the Commission to leave the area uncovered for the first
phase to provide outdoor gathering space and reduce cost?
9.Park Building
a.2 indoor single occupancy gender neutral restrooms.
b.1 outdoor-accessible single occupancy gender neutral restroom, 1 outdoor-
accessible family restroom with adult changing table.
c.Storage added to the catering kitchen.
d.Mechanical/storage reduced in size with the removal of splashpad mechanical.
e.Vestibule to accommodate two events, with a removable divider.
f.Storage shown next to the main gathering space for table and chair storage, with
double doors for accessibility.
g.Gathering space would comfortably accommodate 75 people seated, with a
maximum capacity of 100 individuals within the full room.
10.Parking lot green space
a.Overflow parking can be used in this space, but the green space helps to reduce
the cost of the parking lot.
11.Trailhead
a.Shown as a future phase.
b.Initial regional trail access following phase 1 would be from the main parking lot
from the southeast.
8200 County Road 116 Corcoran, MN 55340
763-420-2288 www.corcoranmn.gov
12.Amphitheater
a.Shown as an alternate due to prioritization of other amenities.
13.Tennis Courts
a.Shown as an alternate due to prioritization of other amenities.
Trails
•A proposed new pedestrian trail connection is shown near the t-ball fields and the
potential Domino’s at the intersection of County Road 10 and County Road 50.
Staff is requesting feedback for the layout of phase 1 and the building plan. Additionally,
staff is requesting consideration for a motion to Council requesting approval of
schematic design (with any final updates) and approval to proceed with design
development (DD) and construction documents (CD)
Next steps as part of DD and CD would include materials, sizing and quantities, vendors
and products, details, specifications, and more refined plans from all disciplines.
Following construction design, 100% design sets would be complete and the next phase
would be bidding and construction. The estimated cost for DD and CD ranges between
$450,000 and $550,000, and is dependent upon the final construction budget for park
improvements.
3D models are anticipated to be shown at the meeting, however, at the time of packet
printing they were incomplete and unable to be included due to turnaround times.

and the item is not currently scheduled for any upcoming meetings.
2.Commercial and Industrial Development Standards (Citywide) (City File 23-023)
The purpose of this zoning ordinance amendment is to address and evaluate the
allowed uses and use specific standards within commercial and industrial
developments. The Council adopted a work plan at the November 20, 2023, regular
meeting, and requested the Planning Commission to provide their initial feedback. The
Planning Commission discussed this item at the December 5, 2023, meeting and
expressed their desire Commercial and Industrial Development Standards address a
number of items such as: specific architectural standards, infrastructure investment
incentives, encouragement toward sustainable development practices, proper
transitions of intensities and height, the permitted and conditional uses of each zoning
type, verbiage, and lighting standards.
City Staff prepared a survey for current landowners and lessees to express their
opinions on items addressed with this update. Staff mailed the online survey invitation
to property owners and tenants whose property is either currently zoned, or guided for
