From: Brad Martens, City Administrator
Re: Park Planning Proposal Review
______________________________________________________________________
In late 2018 the Parks and Trails Commission discussed the process for master planning park
land in the City including the existing City Park and the adjacent newly acquired land from the
Rockford School District. The Commission recommended hiring a consultant to assist with the
planning which the Council supported.
Staff requested and received proposals from Landform and Wenck for assistance in the master
planning process. Both proposals are attached to this report. The following is a brief summary of
each proposal:
Landform
o Includes the creation of two concepts; once concept is selected a site plan,
grading plan, landscape plan, and budget would be created.
o Good examples of past work which is similar in nature.
o Cost is $23,000 for phase 1 deliverables
Wenck
o Base proposal includes one concept, option for an additional concept.
o Includes grading plan, landscape plan (confirmed via telephone call), and budget.
o Good examples of past work which is similar in nature
o Base cost of $9,500; recommend addition of option #1, option #2, and option #7
which brings total to $14,325 and is a comparable proposal outcome.
Both proposals are well put together and show that both are able to complete the work. Due to
the cost difference, staff recommends the Parks and Trails Commission recommends approval
of the Wenck proposals as outlined above with options #1, #2, and #7 included.

The City of Corcoran is asking for assistance to develop the master plan for City Park, which
includes the 60-acre parcel west of the existing park, which the City recently purchased from
the Rockford School District. We understand that existing conditions have been reviewed
and desired park amenities defined by the Parks and Trails Commission. Landform will review
the existing analysis provided by the City and generate two viable concepts from which one
preferred plan can be chosen as the master plan.
When a preferred plan is selected Landform will provide an overall illustrative site plan, any
applicable analysis drawings, and a grading plan, landscape plan and line item budget. These
items will move forward for approval and Landform will provide any edits necessary based on
Commission feedback.

We’ve pulled together a project team that can address each component of the project with a
high level of experience and expertise. Please find full resumes at the end of the proposal.
Project Lead: Kendra Lindahl
Kendra Lindahl is the Corcoran City Planner and will act as the project lead for Landform. She
will provide planning expertise, project management duties for the Landform team and be the
primary point of contact for City Staff.
Primary Designers: Jared Lee and Emily Osthus
Jared Lee is a registered Landscape Architect and has 18 years of experience working primarily
on site planning for schools and designing athletic fields. His experience in this type of work
provides a couple really critical points of proficiency for this project. The most obvious - he
knows the tricks of the trade for designing and grading athletic fields, including how to best
overlap activities for multi-purpose recreation space. Less obvious but also critical - he has
expert knowledge on best practices for site circulation. On school property, like public parks,
there is typically multi-modal traffic - bikes, buses, cars, scooters, feet - there are people of all
ages and abilities, there are periods of peak use and congestion and periods of quiet, and of
course the whole system must meet the highest standard for safety.
Jared also has familiarity with parts of this project site. He was part of the team who designed
baseball fields for the Rockford School District when they owned the land.
Emily Osthus has over five years of experience as a designer primarily in urban design and
parks planning. Primary design drivers for public parks are efficiency, on-going maintenance,
and experiential components that are safe, comfortable, accessible, and inclusive. These drivers
show up in the design outcomes in that they inform decision making - such as how amenities
are sequenced, how parking is distributed, materiality and circulation systems, and landscaping
and plant choices.
Engineering Design: Tom Meyer
Tom Meyer is a certified engineer and has 19 years of experience in civil and municipal
engineering. He will provide design support as needed.

We’ve outlined our project approach by phase, with related tasks and deliverables. We
anticipate being able to start the project as soon as the City is ready.
We’ll kick off analysis with an information exchange. Landform will review the existing
conditions and hear from the City thoughts about vision, key considerations, expectations for
use and related logistics. From there we’ll launch into concepts designs and work our way to a
final preferred plan and the related documents.

Project Approach
In addition to providing scaled drawings - the
master plan, grading plan and landscape plan
- we’ll also work in 3D, generating a model
as part of the process and using it as a tool
throughout.
This is a simple task and cost effective for
it’s return on information synthesis, site
comprehension, and communication. We’ll
use it extensively as an internal tool, but as
it’s helpful, the model, or images from it can
be shared.
In analysis we’ll generate a quick topography
model with our understanding of all the site
constraints. This will very quickly give us a
clearer understanding of the site and critical
components such as scale, topography, and
drainage.
Through this portion of the project we’ll add
information as needed or as questions arise.
In design we’ll use the model again to
quickly test and confirm design decisions on
those same critical systems - topography,
stormwater, and drainage - and to better
understand key experiential components
such as viewsheds (in, out, and through), site
sequencing, wayfinding, scale, sun and shade.

Webber Park Master Plan
Minneapolis, MN
for Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board
Landform led the master
planning process for Webber
Park in North Minneapolis.
Our work included an intensive
community design process
with a community survey, a
multi-day design charrette and
additional public meetings.
We also developed a project
advisory committee of park
board staff and a technical
advisory committee of other key
stakeholders to gather feedback
and provide design input.
The current 22 acre park
includes an outdoor swimming
pool, wading pool, tennis courts,
playing field, playground, pond,
basketball court, and recreation
center.
Phase I of the master plan
improvements includes a
new aquatic facility. This
facility is planned as the first
natural swimming pond in the
United States. It will include a
constructed wetland treatment
system rather than a typical
chlorine treatment system. The
new pool facility will have a
natural pool edge with spaces
for lap swimming, wading and
open swimming.
As part of the master planning
process, we worked with the
community to develop priorities
for future improvements as funds
become available.

This project included a master
plan for park reconfiguration of
recreational amenities, parking,
and trails.
Field improvements were
designed for natural grass
soccer fields, baseball and soft-
ball fields, hockey rink, and an
open skating area. A synthetic
turf soccer field was added to
the South side of the side.
Much of this site lies within a
floodplain. Because flooding
and poor drainage can signifi-
cantly reduce the life span of
playfields, renovated fields were
raised to be out of the 100-year
floodplain. Open space around
each field was slightly lowered
to balance flooding storage.
The new synthetic turf soccer
field has underground drainage
designed to both rapidly drain
water from the surface, which
aids in field maintenance and
life-span, and also slow down
the water before draining into
the City stormwater system,
which helps filter sediment and
pollutants.

Existing Conditions
Concept Plan Options Analysis
Landform designed a master
park plan and provided a
phasing plan and cost estimate
for a new central, community
park in Oak Grove. The park
was to include new amenities
as identified by stakeholders,
including a pavilion, wetland
boardwalks, skating pond,
sledding hill, playground,
restored prairie and sports fields.
Landform’s design team worked
with stakeholders to protect the
site’s natural resources. Part of
that effort was improving the
existing wetlands and restoring
a portion of prairie. These natural
amenities were integrated
with the new ones to provide
a healthy and unique park
experience.

This project included renovat-
ing existing baseball, softball,
and football fields to improve
playability and to build multi-
functionality into fields.
The challenges in this project
were limited space, heavy clay
topsoil, and heavy daily use by
the school and community.
A standout success is the
efficiency of the site and design.
Without expanding the footprint
5 practice fields were added and
each game field was renovated.
To fit everything in the site, a
large turf baseball field was
installed with two practice
footballs fields overlaid. A
removable fence changes the
field from game-day baseball to
practice football. New bleachers,
dugout parking, and storage
facilities were also created.
By reworking the layout of the
west and east side of the site,
two additional softball fields
and a practice soccer field was
added.
As a solution to the heavy
clay soil and heavy daily use,
synthetic turf was chosen for the
baseball field and football field.
Drain tile was installed under
natural grass fields.
Stormwater wasn’t particularly
challenging on this site beyond
best practices for field drainage.
An outlet control device was
modified to accommodate a
slight change in drainage.

RE: City Park Design Assistance Proposal
Mr. Martens:
Wenck has prepared a proposal to assist the City of Corcoran with the preparation of a park
design to begin to layout the future vision for the Corcoran Community Athletic Park. This
plan will include locating all desired sports facilities, a draft grading plan and a budget cost
estimate. Wenck is excited to be invited and considered for the City park project and is
committed to delivering a high quality project on time.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Wenck understands that the City is looking for the conceptual design of a community
athletic park and amenities with layouts for up to eight sports fields, sports dome,
equipment areas, trail connections, multi-use building including bathroom facilities,
concessions, warming house and storage, parking, stormwater conveyance, landscapes,
sight lines, and natural areas. From discussions with the City, we understand that access to
the park off of both County Road 10 and County Road 50 should be explored and include
the estimated cost of turn lanes. We understand that the play structures are to be placed
near the athletic fields, similar to Northside Park in St. Louis Park, with trail connections
between all of the athletic fields. The draft grading plan is to be designed utilizing LiDAR
topography. The City stated that they would like to show the residents progress in the
planning and design of the park in 2019 and would like to start some construction efforts in
2020.
CORCORAN PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Wenck has created the proposal for a “Base Project” along with several options to consider
to increase the detail of the final product, but still allow budget flexibility. Wenck will
develop a concept “footprint” plan organizing the requested park features for discussion and
review. The package will be presented to the City for review by the Parks and Trails
Commission.

City Administrator

Base Project: “Footprint” Plan, Grading Plan and Budget Estimate
Wenck will start by creating a base plan with LiDAR topo, aerial, wetland delineation, zoning
overlays and existing features. Utilizing this plan, Wenck will create a draft landscape
“footprint” design laying out the athletic fields, play structures, parking and multi-use
building and access points linked by a series of trails. From this layout a draft grading plan
will be created followed by a line item budget estimate for the features proposed. It is
assumed the City will provide the required amount of parking spaces.
The City will present the concepts to the Parks and Trails Commission, Planning
Commission, and Council for review. Based upon the comments received, Wenck will adjust
the plans as needed to yield a final plan as Phase 2 of the project.
Base Project (Phase 1) Deliverables:
• Draft “Footprint” graphic master plan (map) $6,000
• Draft Grading and City Utility Location Plan drafted in AutoCAD $3,500
and overlaid on the final “footprint” graphic master plan (map)
• Line Item Budget Estimate Included
• County Turn Lane Locations and Estimate Included
Average hourly cost for additional services under Phase 2 $110
Note: all project and concept narrative will be illustrated on the plans or included as key
note call outs.
Optional Additional Services
Wenck has presented additional services that we believe would enhance the end product
Options 1 and 2 below would add an additional level of site understanding that we believe
are crucial to creation of highest quality concept plan. Likewise, including additional survey
information beyond that of LiDAR would expedite the process from concept to construction
by utilizing the most accurate information from the onset and creating a grading plan from
it. If the concepts are to be used in any meeting to present to the public, we would
recommend renderings to explain the design to the widest audience possible.
Below are the list of additional services Wenck believes are appropriate to present for this
project:
Option 1: Kickoff Meeting & Walkthrough with Pat Meister - $1,200
The creation of concepts first involves reviewing the goals, budgets, and limitations in an
iterative fashion to create functional and affordable design. Wenck proposes to hold a
kickoff meeting and site walkthrough with Pat Meister to review the 30+ years of experience
maintaining parks facilities in the City. We would incorporate the City’s experience with
future vision and combine it with our existing knowledge of the site’s limitations (existing
wetland & stream) and review the adjacent properties for proposed connections. This would
add another level of thoughtfulness to the design and future function of the park.

Option 2: A Second Alternative Concept - $2,875
Based on our experience working with the City of Corcoran on the Ravinia Park project, we
developed two concept plans that were presented with different layouts fostering discussion.
This exercise yields more input than a single concept and usually ends with a hybrid of ideas
of both concepts.
Option 3: Hybrid Drone/Conventional Topo Survey - $5,000/$2,500
Wenck has the ability to survey through both conventional methods or we can incorporate
the use of drone technology to capture topography either for 60 acres or entire site
snowmelt and prior to leaf out. The drone survey will also capture current aerial orthophotos
which will be used as the base map imagery making it the most accurate depiction of the
site. This becomes an economical way to accurately represent the site at a more affordable
survey cost. Cost is broken up to allow more detail on the 60-acre only ($5K) if desired. The
The City would select Option 3 or 4. Not both.
Option 4: Conventional Topo Survey - $4,500/$4,500
Wenck has the capability to capture topographic information utilizing industry standard
equipment able to generate highly accurate 1-foot contours either for 60 acres or entire
site. This information is critical to gain and would be utilized for any construction grading
plans. Cost is broken up to allow more detail on the 60-acre only ($4.5K) if desired. The
City would select Option 4 or Option 3. Not both.
Option 5: Utility Survey - $1,100
Capturing the utility information while the survey crew is on the site allows the site
designers the most accurate information during the design process. This is especially
beneficial when planning for sewer and water services for a proposed restroom and
concession building.
Option 6: Additional Grading Effort based on Option 3 or 4, Site Survey - $900
Utilizing the most accurate survey information to design the draft grading plan will reduce
the amount of rework needed to go from concept to construction. However, it takes
additional setup to integrate the survey information into the base files.
Option 7: Color Rendering of Site Plan - $750
Color rendered site plans tell a more visually compelling story when being presented. People
who are not accustomed to viewing design in plan view have an easier time visualizing the
end product when color is added to differentiate park features.
Option 8: Rendered Perspective of Concept - $1,090
Like the color rendered site plan, rendered perspectives allow more people to understand
the proposed final design by showing how a space will feel once constructed. The objective
of a rendering is to invite the viewer to see what a space will look like, feel like and what
materials are proposed to be used in a photo realistic representation.

Option 9: Design of Natural Features – Scope Negotiated
Wenck has extensive design of natural features, tree preservation, upland restoration and
natural stream protection. This could be developed at City direction, but at this time Wenck
assumes the City focus is on “footprints”, connectivity, constraints, phasing, and costs.
FEATURED PROJECT EXAMPLE
Wenck views the Corcoran Park most similar to the work on Delano Central Park. See
Attachment A for plans and example documents. Central Park was constrained and highly
used and developed over several years as funds became available and amenities were
planned and executed. The City infrastructure (utilities, parking, stormwater) were also key
components of the final outcome. A summary of Central Park includes the following
components:
Leadership –Commissions, Council, and Staff
• Multi-year project and extensive planning
• Youth organization input
• Park budget considerations
• Land Acquisition
Use – City coordination, Youth Organizations and Citizens
• Baseball, soccer and softball
• Splash Pad
• Playground
• Connectivity - Trails and sidewalks
Constraints and Infrastructure – Public Works and Engineering
• Wetlands and floodplain
• Parking and resident screening
• Stormwater and treatment

SPLASH PAD & CONCESSION BUILDING (2018)
Central Park in Delano has a large greenspace surrounded by multiple baseball fields and
has long served as the center of the 4th of July celebration and hosted the State Baseball
Tournament. In recent years, the City of Delano has made multiple improvements to the
area within and surrounding their Central Park (See Attachment A for youth fields, parking,
etc.). The most recent improvement was the construction of a community splash pad and
concession building. Wenck staff worked with the City and coordinated the construction of
these facilities. The splash pad is approximately 10,000 S.F. in size, consists of three
separated age appropriate splash zones, is ADA accessible, and is one of the largest
currently constructed in Minnesota. A 3,300 S.F. building was constructed directly adjacent
to the splash pad to serve concessions during operations and may be rented out for private
events. Improvements to the main ballfield have also been completed recently including
regrading the ballfield to improve drainage and a complete replacement of the irrigation
system. The City is currently replacing the ballfield lighting with an LED lighting system in
preparation for the 2019 baseball season.
With the increased usage and activity at Central Park, the City has reconstructed the
existing gravel parking lot to a paved lot providing 90 parking spaces and is in the process
of expanding the parking lot to provide an additional 130 parking spaces.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE
City of Marshall, MN
PROJECT/TYPE: Red Baron Arena/New Construction
LOCATION: Marshall, MN
SIZE: 78,200/SF; $16,352,089
REFERENCES: Darin Rahm, Director of Marshall Convention & Visitor Bureau
507- 829-5806
Wenck partnered with the City of Marshall to build the new 78,200 square-foot Red Barron Arena & Expo center
which opened in May, 2016. The new facility features two indoor ice sheets, ten locker rooms, two meeting rooms, a
club room, and capacity for up to 1,400 spectators.
What makes the Red Baron Arena unique from similar ice arenas is the multi-use function of its main rink. The main
rink can transform from an ice arena in winter, to an indoor convention and sports center in summer. To make the
most of this space, Wenck installed a retractable bleacher system along the main rink, similar to what can be found
in many gymnasiums. These bleachers can be retracted to maximize the floor space used for convention and indoor
sports events during warm months, or extended during skating season to maximize seating capacity.
With a fixed budget, it was critical that Wenck provide accurate cost information before final designs were
completed and bid. Our team helped the City to make informed design options by providing line item costs for
individual building features for their consideration. Since aesthetic was important to the Owner, they chose to install
a thin-brick facade over exterior precast walls at a cost of approximately $260,000. The retractable bleachers noted
above were installed at a premium of $50,000 compared fixed bleachers. To minimize up-front construction costs,
the city elected to use fluorescent light fixtures in lieu of LED for a savings of $140,000.
In December of 2016, WCCO news viewers voted the Red Barron Arena to be the “Best Hockey Rink in Minnesota”. A
clip of the news story can be found at: http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2016/12/15/best-hockey-rink/

REFERENCES: DeeDee Kahring, Director of Finance & Operations; 952-556-6261
Wenck served as Construction Manager for a single rink addition at the Victoria Recreation Center. The new rink
opened to the public for the 2009/2010 Hockey season, and houses the Chanhassen High School team as well as a
private school and local hockey association teams.
The new rink features one sheet of ice with capacity for 514 spectators, eight (8) locker rooms, a mezzanine level
club room, and space for the efficient addition of two meeting rooms in the future within the new mezzanine area.
Parking capacity was also increased to account for the new rink.
With initial estimates exceeding the available funds, Wenck performed significant Value Engineering. In order to
preserve the building features and function, the new rink was designed with a sand base as opposed to concrete.
This change resulted in a savings of approximately $100,000. Our team also evaluated the capacity of the existing
rink’s refrigeration system and found that the new rink system could be downsized and combined with the
existing system for a savings of approximately $50,000. Up-front savings were also developed by omitting two new
classrooms at the mezzanine level, but installing mechanical and electrical supply lines to allow these spaces to be
efficiently added in the future.

JORDAN SCHOOL DISTRICT # 717
PROJECT/TYPE: Jordan Middle School & CERC/Addition and Renovation
LOCATION: Jordan, MN
SIZE: 49,000/SF Additions, 119,000/SF Renovation; $34,564,000
REFERENCES: Mr. Matt Helgerson, Superintendent; 952-492-6200
Serving as Construction Manager, Wenck partnered with the Jordan Public School District to plan a successful bond
referendum in 2014. Voters overwhelmingly supported the referendum to complete additions and renovations
to the existing Jordan Middle School; creating a 21st century learning environment for students as well as a new
Community Education and Recreation Center.
Our Team worked with District staff over a six month period to develop phasing options that effectively met the
district’s needs. We identified construction limits and completion dates associated with each phase to develop
a bidding/procurement schedule unaffected by material lead times. Contracts were bid in three phases, or “Bid
Packages”, allowing work to begin as final designs were being completed. We carefully monitored the design and
budget, resulting in a final cost as-bid that was approximately $500,000 below budget.
The original 1960s era building did not include a commons area, so the District’s vision involved creating a new
“Heart” of the building. The new “Heart” features a 15-foot raised roof with storefront windows running from the
main entrance into the center of the building to provide natural lighting in the commons area.
The new three station gymnasium and Community Education and Recreation Center features a secure entrance for
the general public to access during the school day. The Center amenities include rubberized multi-purpose flooring,
an elevated walking track, large group meeting space, an open exercise room; and indoor tennis, volleyball and
basketball amenities as well as a concessions area.
Rosemount – Apple Valley – Eagan School District #196
PROJECT NAME: Apple Valley High School
PROJECT LOCATION: Apple Valley, MN
PROJECT SIZE: 14,500/SF Addition, 85,000/SF Remodel; $11,801,890
PROJECT COMPLETION DATE: August, 2018
Apple Valley High School was one of the larger, and perhaps the most complex of the 35 projects Wenck completed
on behalf of the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District over the past five years. The project combined the
complexity of a phased project inside an occupied building, with an extremely aggressive summer schedule for
completing significant portions of the 85,000/SF interior renovation.
The first phase consisted of renovating the existing library and was completed as we began work on the new
addition. Once the addition was completed and occupied, Wenck began work on a substantial portion of the 85,000/
SF renovation which was completed between May and August of 2018. The new addition houses a commons area
and office space. Renovated areas included much of the building circulation space, classrooms, and a series of
learning stairs in the center of the building.
Safety, traffic planning, and building egress presented additional challenges. The project involved a large addition
at the building’s main entrance which required Wenck to develop a separate Construction phase traffic and bus
circulation plan as well as a temporary egress plan which was communicated to all building occupants and the Fire
Marshall to ensure that staff and students could safely exit the building in the event of a fire.

Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District #191
PROJECT NAME: Burnsville High School
PROJECT TYPE: Addition and Renovation
PROJECT LOCATION: Burnsville, MN
PROJECT SIZE: 137,000/SF; $52,000,000
PROJECT COMPLETION DATE: August, 2016
The 13-month, $52,000,000 expansion to Burnsville High School addresses the growing academic needs of the
community, and brings all grade 9th through12th grade students under one roof, providing a 21st century learning
environment for real world learners.
Collaboration, natural light, air purification, and sustainability initiatives are all built in to the new spaces at
Burnsville High School, allowing learners to reach their full potential. The major expansion began with the
conversion of an annex building to house new industrial technology classroom space. Once the former industrial
arts space was vacated, work began immediately on three (3) simultaneous additions which included a new science
wing, 9th grade classroom wing, and athletic facility expansion.
Today, after overseeing an average of nearly $200,000 in construction per day for almost 13 consecutive months,
our team is a matter of weeks from completing the project on-time and below budget. The tremendous planning,
scheduling and coordination of work has led to a project that most others would not conceive as possible within the
given time frame.
PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Prior Lake-Savage Area School District # 719
PROJECT NAME: Prior Lake High School
PROJECT TYPE: Science and Classroom Addition
PROJECT LOCATION: Savage, MN
PROJECT SIZE: 33,000/SF Addition; $8,300,000
PROJECT COMPLETION DATE: August, 2014
We have been working with the Prior Lake-Savage Area School District to complete new construction, addition, and
renovation projects for more than 18 years. In 2003 we were hired to build the Prior Lake High School, and recently
we partnered with the District to build the 33,000/SF addition.
Flexible space was a key component of the District’s plan for expansion. Classrooms were built with little or no fixed
furniture. Every component of these new classrooms is movable and every occupied area within the new addition
has access to natural lighting. Group work areas in corridors are used throughout the day for collaboration and
docking stations are available allowing students to charge devices as they work in common areas.
The three-story addition was built to match the layout of the existing High School, and the project design included
two science labs, three general-purpose classrooms, a small office room on each level, a central resource area
with a conference room as well as a technology/laptop cart storage room, and a custodial closet on each floor. The
project also included a major kitchen expansion, security upgrades at all entrances, and significant exterior work.
The project was completed within budget and on schedule.

Other Wenck Natural Park Areas
CITY OF PLYMOUTH – PLYMOUTH CREEK (2017)
Combined the concepts presented in a previously completed Feasibility Report by others
with our onsite investigations of the park and its users to design and construct to finalized
design for a 2,700 foot reach of Plymouth Creek that flows through Plymouth Creek Park &
Frisbee Disc Golf Course. Park users were degrading the creek and the vegetation on its
banks while playing the course. The stabilization strategy included strategic tree removal
and several bioengineered practices to stabilize the stream and enhance the experience for
the golf course and the surrounding community by locating stream barbs and cross vanes
near bridges, tees, and baskets to control flow paths, increase oxygenation and also create
sensory experiences, such as the hearing of rippling water passing through the proposed
boulder cross vanes. Wenck designed a boardwalk as part of the project to decrease
vegetation trampling and erosion in low light areas of the disc golf course. The project was
constructed in the winter and spring of 2018 and included 2 additional years of vegetation
monitoring and maintenance.

KANDIYOHI COUNTY – GAMES LAKE PARK (2016)
Games Lake is a popular destination park for camping, day-use, swimming and fishing near
New London, MN. An upcoming road reconstruct required the addition of a second entrance
to the park and the County wanted to use the opportunity to develop a master plan for the
park to address conflicting uses, parking and drainage issues, and desired improvements.
Wenck partnered with the County to unify a vision for the Park that could be accomplished
in multiple phases, ensuring the most efficient completion of each phase with confidence
there would be no rework and wasted money to complete each phase of the plan. After
completing the master plan, Wenck designed the first phase of the project, the second
entrance and parking lot improvements.

Re: Dog Parks Discussion
______________________________________________________________________
On January 15th, 2019 the Parks and Trails Commission requested that staff put together a
report about dog parks. The following is what staff found:
Dog runs vs. dog parks
Dog run: a minimum of 5,000 square feet, fenced-in space, dogs can run, socialize, and
exercise.
Dog park: Larger than dog runs, with architectural/landscaping features, furniture, and
amenities for dogs and patrons.
Process for obtaining a dog park:
Establish a community need
o Survey
o Community input at events
Find out what amenities are necessary for the community
o Agility training
o Open space
o Fenced vs. non-fenced
Fence should be a minimum of 4 feet high2
Galvanized or vinyl coated chain link fence is common2
Who handles maintenance?
o Public Works
How frequently?
What are the standards?
o Citizen volunteers
8a.
o Adopt-a-Spot program?
o Combination of the three?
Mock-up of design ideas
o Where does everything go?
Garbages, entrance(s), baggie stations, water station, shaded areas, etc.
o What surfaces should be used?
Grass? Turf?
Wood fiber?
Decomposed granite?
Gravel?
Asphalt is hot – some organizations covered it with tennis court paint for
color and to help with the heat1
Combination of surfaces is ideal to challenge their brains and their bodies –
dogs like variety2
o ADA Compliant
Logistics of the dog park
Rules (common examples)
o Dogs must be leashed prior to entering and leaving the park. Owners must carry a
leash for each dog at all times.
o Dogs must be accompanied by an adult (16 or older) at all times.
o Dogs must be healthy, fully immunized, de-wormed, and wearing ID tags.
o Keep your dogs in sight and never leave dogs in the park unattended.
o No littering. Place all trash in receptacles.
o Female dogs in heat and dogs under the age of four mo nths are prohibited.
o Use at your own risk. Owners are responsible and liable for the actions and
behavior of their dogs at all times.
Size
o No true industry standard; Depends on the community
o 1 acre is common – large enough to support many dogs at a time
Hours
o Dawn to dusk is industry standard2
Design of the entrance
o Dual-gated entrance to allow removal/placement of leash and avoid crowding
Separating large and small dogs
o Small dog areas are utilized less – people don’t like to be separated from the
action1
o Rather than “small-dog areas” potentially label it a “special-use area” to
accommodate shy or older dogs as well2
Bulletin board
o Place to post rules, announcements, upcoming events/information
8a.
Dog park location
Many times, they’re placed at public parks or connected to trails
o Pros:
Brings people to the park that wouldn’t normally use the park
Allows patrons to use multiple amenities at the park
Easier access when they’re located on a trail system
o Cons:
Some individuals fear dogs
Noise level of dogs using the park
Additional notes:
Grant opportunities are available
o Bark for Your Park (through Pet Safe - $25,000 towards new build)
Asphalt trail3
o People with strollers and individuals with disabilities are better served
o Less erosion on grass surfaces
Dog baggies
o Would the City provide the bags or strictly the garbages?
o Varies from city to city

Pros: Durable, easy to maintain
Cons: Hot during the summer months
Turf
Pros: Durable, weather resistant
Cons: More expensive, slippery for dogs

RE Active Corcoran Planning Applications
Projects/Comments in blue italics are new
Project marked with an * have moved from active to approved
The following is a summary of project status for current, active projects:
1.2040 Corcoran Comprehensive Plan (City file 17-001). This year-long process was kicked off with
a joint City Council/Commission work session on March 16th followed by three community open
houses/events and several commission meetings and Council work sessions. The Parks and Trails
Commission reviewed at their March 20th meeting, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on
April 5th and on April 26th the City Council approved the 2040 Comprehensive Plan for distribution to
adjacent jurisdictions for comment. The adjacent jurisdictions have six months to review and comment
and then Corcoran will send to the Metropolitan Council to review for compliance with regional
systems. City staff met with Metropolitan Council staff to discuss their preliminary comments, is
working to address comments and intends to bring the final draft to the February 28th meeting where
the Council will approve for formal submission to the Metropolitan Council.
2.Animal Ordinance (city file 17-038). The City has received questions about allowing animals in
commercial areas, specifically bees and chickens. The Council considered this item at their January
25th meeting and established a subcommittee to review the issues and bring back a recommendation
to the City Council. Staff has the subcommittee recommendation on bees and is awaiting feedback on
chickens. This item was reviewed by the Council on December 27, 2018 and is scheduled for a public
hearing at the February 7th Planning Commission meeting and Council action on February 28th. .
3.Southeast District Master Plan and Design Guidelines update (city file 18-012). The draft 2040
Comprehensive Plan anticipates significant changes to the transportation network that make it
necessary to update this plan, which is adopted as Appendix B of the Zoning Ordinance. At the April
26th meeting, the Council authorized staff to begin this work . Staff met with Hennepin County and is
now drafting road alignments for incorporation into updated plan options. This item was discussed at
the November 8th Council Work Session. The Council will review the revised draft at a February 28th
work session.
4.Development Rights and OS&P ordinance updates (city file 18-014). One of the implementation
strategies from the Draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan was to consider amendments to the OS&P
ordinance to better reflect City goals. The Council is also considering changes to the development
rights program. Staff presented the City Council with a work plan and schedule at the May 24th
meeting. The Council discussed at the October 11th Work Session and staff will bring a revised draft to
the January 24th Work Session.
5.Preliminary Plat, Preliminary PUD and Rezoning for “Pheasant Ridge Second Addition”. (PID
0311923310003, 0311923430005, 0311923410002) (City File 18-029). The Council has reviewed

December 11, 2014 and granted the applicant 2 years to apply for the final plat and final PUD
development plan. Peachtree Partners did not buy the property, but a different developer could still
proceed with the approved plan. On December 9, 2016, the applicant submitted a written request to
extend the approvals for an additional year. Staff recommended that this request be reviewed by the
City Council, but adequate time was not provided to place this on a Council agenda prior to expiration.
Staff administratively approved an extension until February 28, 2017 so that this request for extension
could be considered at the February 23, 2017 Council meeting. At that meeting, the City Council
approved a one year extension. The City Council approved another one year extension at the
January 25, 2018 meeting.
4. Commercial Door Addition at 7670 Commerce Street (City file 15-010) The City received an

The City will release the remaining escrow when the planting is completed.
5. Private Drive Ordinance Amendment (City file 16-003). The City Council approved an ordinance
amendment allowing private drives in the Rural Residential district, subject to certain conditions.
However, after adoption the City Council directed staff to revisit this issue and consider an ordinance
amendment to eliminate the requirement that private drives off paved roads must be paved. The City
Council approved the amendment on May 26th. The Council also identified additional issues that
should be reviewed and discussed at a future date.
6. Natural Resource Protection Ordinance (city file 18-010). The Council directed staff to look at
options to preserve trees and natural resources to maintain the rural character of the community in
both rural and urban areas. Staff presented for Council review at the May 24th meeting and the Council

Re: Bellwether Trail Planning Update
______________________________________________________________________
Over the past several weeks discussion on trail planning in the Bellwether development have
been taking place. The discussion was escalated due to an opportunity to co -locate stormwater
infrastructure in trail corridors as opposed to installing them through wetland areas. Public
Works Director Kevin Mattson took the lead on the conversation and involved staff as well as
Parks and Trails Commissioners Tom Anderson and Sharon Meister.
The result of this effort is that a significant portion of the trails for the open space park have
been located with tree removal taking place. A benefit of this is that the developer is paying for
the cost of the tree removal instead of the City of Corcoran.
Attached is a trail plan created through the alignment planning process mentioned above. Staff
will provide additional information at the meeting.
