ATTACHMENTS: Description Staff Report: Fred Richards Park Master Plan Update Community Engagement Log 2016 Athletic Field Utilization March 2 Open House Feedback March 2 Open House Concept Designs - Fred Richards Park Tuesday, April 4, 2017 Mayor and City Council Ann Kattreh Parks & Recreation Director Fred Richards Park Master Plan Update Information / Background: This meeting is a joint work session with the Parks & Recreation Commission. The first half of the meeting will provide a brief presentation and an opportunity for discussion and feedback on the Fred Richards Park Master Plan preliminary concepts. The second half of the meeting is the annual Parks & Recreation Commission joint meeting with the City Council. The Fred Richards Park Master Plan process is progressing well and according to plan. Attached please find the Community Engagement log as well as the concept plans that were presented to the public at an open house on March 2 and to the Parks & Recreation Commission on March 14. Options A, B and C each provide interesting amenities and different recreational opportunities. Individual amenities can be selected from any concept to create one final concept plan. Staff requests City Council feedback on the options to be used toward the direction of creating one final concept plan. On March 14, 2017 the Parks & Recreation Commission received a presentation of the three concepts and provided excellent and clear feedback and direction. The following brief description of each concept was given by Confluence’s Terry Minarik: • Concept A o “Pathways to Play” Concept focusses around movement and activity – move through the park and interact Provides trailhead, watersports for activity, bike skills course, wetland area for education Natural area favors west side and accommodates marshy portion of site Repurposed clubhouse Defining entry drive that comes directly into park which creates direct access into site while utilizing existing parking in surrounding area STAFF REPORT Page 2 Athletic fields Small neighborhood gathering area in east side of park • Concept B o Environmental learning experience, environmental education, maximizing ecological benefits o Uses areas for water storage o Integrates technology and reuses clubhouse as a nature center/community gathering space o Wetland cells are interconnected o Viewing tower concept for users to observe overall symbiotic relationship of entire site o Nature play as opposed to traditional playground(s) o Great lawn instead of sport field o Water access/touch points o Wildlife viewing o Some open space and some interactive space • Concept C o Most aggressive re-development/development of site o More active uses of space o Wetlands in geometric forms o Park pavilion creates gathering space for outdoor eating and dining o Parkway is a space for people and cars o Sledding hill o Dog park o Interaction between seating, resting and nature o Sculpture o Interactive water play o Clubhouse as an event center with an expansion of the structure that is there today o Emphasis on parkway/entrance into site o Larger hill creates sledding hill, a viewing point of entire site and sculptural element as focal point o Drumlins provide buffer from residential area Every Parks & Recreation Commissioner preferred Option A as their overall preferred concept. Commissioners had an extensive conversation about the need for more and improved quality athletic fields for both youth and adults. Commissioners agreed on the need to create a large athletic field space (as large as we can accommodate), a trailhead facility for community gathering, possibly with food and beverage at the clubhouse, and trails for walking. Commissioners were interested in considering a youth mountain bike skills park on the north part of the park and were also interested in the ice skating trail concept on the open water part of the park. They also wanted STAFF REPORT Page 3 to make sure that the park would be a year-round recreational amenity. Commissioners liked the original (2014 Vision Plan) parkway concept on the south side of the park and continue to be concerned about adequate parking and easy and visible access to the park from the south side of the park. Commissioners are also interested in providing amenities and recreational opportunities for teenagers at the park. Commissioners also discussed the pros and cons of field lighting at the proposed athletic field area. On March 15, Commissioners McAwley, Good and Gieseke joined Parks & Recreation and Engineering departments, Confluence and environmental consultant EOR to discuss Parks & Recreation Commission feedback and recommendations moving toward narrowing ideas from three concepts to one concept. Jason Naber from EOR explained potential wetland banking opportunities on the site and also discussed opportunities for environmental restoration including improved wetlands, enhanced storm water management and environmental education opportunities. Wetland banking is a tool for maintaining the overall functional benefits of wetlands in a geographic area, while allowing development to occur. If wetlands are filled or impacted by a development in the area, that development will need to purchase wetland banking credits within the same geographic region. Hennepin County wetland banking credits are in demand with a recent purchase value of $60,000+/acre. There is a potential for 5-15 acres of wetland restoration opportunities that could be sold for banking, all located on the west side of the site. These wetland areas typically need to be more natural and passive and wetland banking in an active, popular park is not common. The project team will need to work with regulators to emphasize the environmental education components of this site. The consulting team recommends keeping these wetlands functionally separate from main stormwater treatment areas to maintain water quality. The whole site would be connected and flooded during large flood events. It was decided to move forward with exploring the opportunity for wetland banking on this site. EOR completed and submitted a scoping document to provide baseline information for regulatory agencies to evaluate the site’s suitability for banking. If site conditions are determined to be favorable for banking, subsequent steps would include a concept plan and a full wetland bank plan application. In summary, the Parks & Recreation Commission and staff recommendation is as follows: 1. Western Side– a. Pursue the wetland banking approach on this side b. Smaller scale play and rest elements c. Pathways to play concept was well received d. Pursue canoe/kayak feasibility e. Pursue ice skating loop 2. Eastern Side- The neighborhood playground was well liked, focusing on the surrounding residential areas but maintaining connections to the larger park. This would be more of a traditional playground facility. Other aspects discussed were: a. Look at adding a smaller picnic shelter to serve adjacent residents STAFF REPORT Page 4 b. Look at adding a few parking stalls if they fit with the overall plan c. Stormwater amenity would be a good addition to reduce neighborhood flooding in this area, provide greater water quality, and an additional park amenity d. Discuss parking lot/parking sharing in the east-south area to serve the field area 3. Central/Athletic Field Area – The discussion around this item is the most controversial inclusion. Neighbors on the north and west are generally opposed to large scale athletic fields due to the crowds, potential parking issues, noise, lack of open space availability and lights. The commission members and staff felt that the need for athletic space in the city justified including field at Fred Richards. A large open lawn should be included with a size that would accommodate soccer, lacrosse and other field sports. Other elements to be considered in this area include: a. Pickleball – near the building b. Sand volleyball c. Basketball The central mound was discussed in a couple options. This feature will be examined more closely regarding its need. The group was concerned that it may take space away from other amenities. Arguments for the mound include potential reduced grading costs, winter sledding, park overview, informal amphitheater, vertical interest, etc. Consultant team will re-evaluate and examine whether the mound could be reconfigured or reduced in size. 4. Northern Area – The group discussed this difficult area regarding programming. The bike skills loop focused on kids was well liked at the open house but needs more clarification on how it would look and function. Confluence will provide more information. Pickleball was discussed in this area but it was agreed to move closer to the building. A general open area, natural area with walking paths and native area were also discussed. A skate trail was discussed but the consensus leaned more toward the bike trail. 5. Building – There is interest in renovating the clubhouse for a restaurant/vendor for food and beverages, as well as teaming with Three Rivers Park District for programming and creating trailhead features. A potential craft brew pub type facility similar to Crooked Pint in Chaska was given as an example for continued revenue to support park maintenance. Staff liked the idea of a nature play area close to the building. Pentagon Park/Border Basin Regional Stormwater Management Plan – Barr Engineering Concurrent to this project, the City of Edina is participating in a stormwater management project with Barr Engineering, the City of Bloomington and the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District (NMCWD). Given the increased flood risks and active redevelopment in the area, the cities of Edina and Bloomington requested assistance from the NMCWD to develop a regional flood and stormwater management plan for this area and to identify options to alleviate flood risk and guide stormwater management for future redevelopment. This plan includes consideration of storing additional stormwater upstream and/or on Fred Richards Park, planning for regional stormwater STAFF REPORT Page 5 management opportunities and developing site development best practices to guide stormwater management as redevelopment occurs. This study is approximately at the half-way point. The problem has been clearly identified and possible solutions are being explored. The third stakeholder meeting will take place in mid-April. Private property owners will be invited to this meeting. This project is scheduled for completion in May or June. Current Athletic Field Conditions Over the past five years the City of Edina has improved some athletic fields. The addition of artificial turf at Pamela Park and Braemar Field and improvement of the grass fields at Pamela Park have helped; however, there is still a need for additional field space. A combination of growth in our existing sports programs, the addition of new sports and loss of some school district field space have continued a field shortage for both youth and adult sports programs. Recreation Supervisor Eric Boettcher will be present at the work session to answer any questions regarding athletic field utilization. Listed below is a brief summary of current field issues and concerns. New Sports and the Growth of Existing Sports: - Rugby is growing in popularity. The Edina High School boys club team has won five straight high school state championships and is always trying to find practice space. - Ultimate Frisbee is growing and there is no field space available for this program - The Edina Football Association added Flag Football to age levels that include 4th and 5th grades. - Soccer and Lacrosse continue to grow. - Edina Girls Athletic Association currently limits its Flag Football program due to lack of field space at lighted fields. Overuse of Neighborhood Parks - Weber Park uses the open rink area for a practice Lacrosse field. - Walnut Ridge Park’s field used by Lacrosse is in poor condition due to poor soils and lack of irrigation. - Wooddale Park is used by Lacrosse for youth fields and has poor field conditions due to overuse and lack of irrigation. It was originally designed for Softball/Baseball. - Heavy use of Creek Valley has increased parking problems and residents’ concerns of field use. Insufficient Lighting and Overuse: - Unlighted fields provide very limited use in fall. - Lewis Park fields are now being used for both practices and games. STAFF REPORT Page 6 - Lewis west is one of three senior Soccer fields that were converted into two intermediate size fields in order to accommodate that age group. - The outfields of Courtney 1, Courtney 3 and all three Van Valkenburg Park outfields are used for Football in the fall. This prohibits Baseball and Softball use. Poor Field Soil Conditions: - Creek Valley is often not available due to flooding. 96% of the Edina Soccer Club games that were scheduled in fall of 2016 were cancelled or moved. 80% of all ESC activities were moved from that site. - Creek Valley field conditions could deteriorate further if water is not able to sufficiently exit the Soccer fields due to the Nine Mile Creek Trail being added between the creek and the fields. - Lower high school fields are in a flood plain which limits use to dry weather conditions. - Walnut Ridge has peat based soils that retain water and are very uneven and unstable. Loss of Field Space: - Cornelia School expansion has eliminated use of five youth-sized fields for the Edina Soccer Association Pre K/K level program. - Loss of the front field area in the front of Creek Valley Elementary School for the new EHS tennis courts has also impacted the K-2nd grade program. This “field space” was added in the last few years, but is also highly undesirable as it is a storm drain basin. - Lower Creek Valley fields will be losing one field due to the Nine Mile Creek trail that will cut through that area. - Lower Creek Valley fields already lost one field due to sinking and poor field conditions. Private Field Rental: - Edina Soccer Club currently rents field space from Our Lady of Grace School for $5,000 a year. Adult Programs: - Current field levels limits adult sports offerings and open field time. - Open field sports such as Soccer and Lacrosse are growing. We averaged 30 participants per night at Pamela turf on Monday evenings during the summer of 2016. - Braemar Field’s Open Soccer that started in January had an average of 18 participants on Sunday evenings with a high of 63 participants on Sunday, March 5, 2017. School District Field Renovations STAFF REPORT Page 7 The school district is improving fields that will definitely benefit the community, but generally they are replacing natural grass fields with artificial turf. This will improve access to fields, especially during periods of rain and will provide a significantly higher quality field than the existing grass fields. The new fields will not have lighting. School programs are scheduled to use the fields until 6:30 p.m., so the time for athletic association use will be limited. In addition, as high school programs like ultimate Frisbee and Rugby continue to grow, less time will be available for athletic associations. - The upper community center field is the same size, but will now be artificial turf. - The lower high school field replaces an existing baseball field and tennis courts, but will become an improved artificial turf multi-sport field. Tennis courts are being relocated to Creek Valley School. - An upper high school grass field will be replaced by a parking lot. - Athletic associations will be charged $13/hour for the use of new school district artificial turf. Fred Richards Project Plan After feedback is received from the City Council on April 4, one draft concept plan will be designed. This concept will be presented to the public at an open house and also to the Parks & Recreation Commission. The draft concept along with a survey will be provided on the city’s Fred Richards Park Master Plan project website. After feedback is received and final edits made, the Parks & Recreation Commission will recommend a final master plan to the City Council in June or July. The final master plan will include construction cost estimates and an estimate for annual maintenance and operations.
