EDINA SOCCER ASSOCIATION PROPOSAL FOR LEWIS PARK A copy of the enclosed letter of information was mailed to all residents within approximately 500 feet of Lewis Park. The Park and Recreation Department office has received many calls responding to the letter and each caller has been asked to submit their concerns in writing to the Edina Park Board and/or attend the May Park Board meeting. All letters received as of May 4, 1995, have been photocopied and are included in this mailing. Any letters that are received after that point will be photocopied and distributed at the Park Board meeting. Since the April Park Board meeting, staff has consulted with the Edina Engineering Department regarding the feasibility of converting the bandy rink into a soccer field. It is the Engineering Department's professional opinion that the bandy field could be developed into a playable soccer field at a cost of approximately $40,000. This cost -2 - would include proper grading, seeding and irrigation. The Engineering Department suspects that there may be a slow leak in a water main pipe in Lewis Park and they plan to soon take necessary measures to correct the problem. It is the Engineering Department's opinion that the unstable soils beneath the field have been compressed due to earlier filling. Therefore, the ability to construct a soccer field is much more feasible than it was during the park's original construction in the late 19701s. At the April Park Board meeting, it was suggested to consider the possibility of playing soccer and bandy on the same site by planting annual grasses and clover. To address this concept, I have talked with professionals with experience in this area. Michael Schmidt, Director of Maintenance Operations for the Minneapolis Park Board, shared his experience with trying to play soccer and/or softball on fields that have been flooded for ice skating in the winter months. In short, Mr. Schmidt suggests that it is virtually impossible to provide quality or even safe turf for soccer where the field was previously used as a skating facility. The Minneapolis Park Board has recently hired a professional firm, Brauer and Associates, to study their athletic field conditions and make recommendations. In addition, I have talked to Vince Cockriel, Edina Park Foreman, who recalls having tried planting annual rye grass on the Lewis Park bandy field four years ago. The grass did not germinate mainly due to lack of irrigation. Mr. Cockriel will be at the Park Board meeting to give his professional opinion about the feasibility of trying to use the bandy field for soccer and bandy. I have also discussed this matter with our Turf Restoration Consultant, John Hopko. Mr. Hopko will also be present at the Park Board meeting to share his experiences and professional opinion regarding this concept. If the bandy field area could annually be maintained to accommodate both soccer and bandy, my recommendation would be to try both. According to all the professionals with years of experience in this area, it is simply not possible to provide safe turf on grounds that have been flooded during the winter months. Even so, Mr. Cockriel and Mr. Hopko will both be present to explain what is involved in restoring a turf area that has been used for ice skating. As for the issue of parking, there are a total of 106 parking spaces between the two parking lots. Of the 106 spaces, six of them are handicapped parking only spaces. There are a total of 72 spaces in the east lot and 34 spaces in the southwest lot in Lewis Park. There should be adequate parking spaces for park users for most of the time. In some cases, on street parking may be needed, which is the norm at other soccer field sites, such as, Strachauer Park, Pamela Park, and Weber Park. It was also suggested at the April meeting that Todd Park be considered as a soccer field site, however, there are currently no parking lots in Todd Park. All parking for that park must be done on neighborhood streets. As you will notice in all the enclosed letters from neighboring residents, they do not favor the ESA's proposal. Their concerns are primarily parking (legal and illegal parking), increase in scheduled athletic events, noise, inadequate restroom facilities, loss of a very desirable large sheet of ice for general skating and the loss of serenity that comes with unusable turf areas. Several Lewis Park neighborhood residents will likely be at the May meeting to voice their concerns that may even include additional issues that are not listed above. -3 - The Edina Soccer Association's proposal will not be an easy issue to eresolve. As with several Park and Recreation issues, not everyone can be satisfied regardless of the outcome. In dealing with park facilities owned by the taxpayers of Edina, the question becomes, what is best for the majority of residents of Edina and the community as a whole. The issue is obviously more than soccer vs. bandy. If there was an option that would satisfy all interested parties, that would be the best of all worlds. In my opinion, no such option exists. I do not believe that there is an affordable option that will satisfy all parties involved. As staff, it is our job to research the alternatives, present the facts, and suggest a recommendation for your consideration. Please know that you, as Park Board members, do not have to necessarily agree with staff's recommendations. Your job is not to satisfy staff, but rather, to best serve the community of Edina. Hopefully with sufficient information from staff and input from the community, you will be able to resolve this issue with confidence. With that in mind, staff would recommend that the Edina Park Board accept the Edina Soccer Association's proposal for the following reasons: 1) The proposal serves Edina residents and community as a whole. 2) Edina has done its part to promote and provide for the sport of bandy and it is time for this "regional sport," which is comprised of 90o non-resident adults, to be facilitated by another community. 3) Edina can continue to facilitate youth bandy on Edina's outdoor and indoor hockey rinks. 4) It has long been the philosophy of the Edina Park Board to facilitate the recreational needs of resident youths before (and at the expense of) fulfilling the recreational/athletic needs of resident and non-resident adults. 5) In my opinion, there is no better and reasonably affordable alternative to facilitate the Edina Soccer Association's growing program. 6) Since the early 19801s, the following bandy rinks have been created to facilitate the adult and youth bandy program: A) Lewis Park, Edina B) Bohanon Park, Minneapolis C) McCrae Park, Minneapolis D) Goat Hill Park, Eagan E) Dred Scott Park, Bloomington F) Central Park, Roseville G) Central Park, Shoreview H) John Rose Minnesota Oval, Roseville Of these eight sites, only two remain, Lewis Park and the John Rose Minnesota Oval. The other six sites no longer exist. These six sites were all discontinued mainly due to the expense involved in providing a large ice facility for primarily non-resident players. 7) There is now a more "regional facility" available to facilitate bandy on a user fee basis. I use the term "regional facility" because the John Rose Minnesota Oval was funded in part by the State of Minnesota because the facility was recognized as a facility to serve "regional needs." Even so, the City of Roseville owns the facility and pays the operating expenses. m 8) It is staff's opinion that to continue to maintain a large sheet of ice at Lewis Park simply for the sake of general skating would not be fair to other neighborhood park residents (such as Strachauer Park and Todd Park) who have requested and been denied outdoor skating facilities due to lack of available resources. In addition, the general skating rink at Lewis Park (north of the warming house) is actually the same size or larger than other general skating rinks at other parks, such as, Highlands Park, Normandale Park, York Park and Weber Park. Lastly, Edina currently provides the best outdoor pleasure skating facility in the Twin Cities area at Centennial Lakes Park. The outdoor ice at Centennial Lakes Park is maintained with an ice resurfacer, and the beautiful Centrum Building has fireplaces indoor and one outdoor and is equipped with a concessions stand and accessible restroom facilities. In addition, to date there have not been any hockey sticks or pucks on the Centennial Lakes ice surface to interfere with the general skater. 9) Lewis Park is classified as a "community playfield park," which is defined in the Jupiter And Beyond Report as follows: "..as a park greater than 20 acres (21.04 acres to be exact) that is designed to provide facilities for diverse recreational activities for young people and adults, although a section is also typically set aside for smaller neighborhood children." The master plan for this park has always included three large soccer/football fields for scheduled activities, which is part of the purposeful use of a community playfield park. I understand and appreciate the neighbors of Lewis Park not wanting more scheduled activities in Lewis Park, however, this particular park is designed to serve the leisure needs and desires of a larger segment of the community than just the immediate neighborhood. Please know that my recommendation is made with mixed emotions because I believe that bandy is an excellent life-long team sport for youth and adults. I share the same pride as you in the fact that Edina took the lead to introduce bandy to America and get it established. If there were no other alternatives for bandy, staff's recommendation would be different. The fact is that there is a state-of-the-art world-class outdoor bandy facility in Roseville to serve the program's needs. Bandy players will undoubtedly have to pay more to play their sport if limited to the Oval. I can understand the financial hardship that bandy players may experience, however, hockey players, figure skaters and speed skaters have become accustomed to paying their share of the expense to use facilities. Hopefully, bandy will continue to grow in spite of the increased costs. One final thought, I suggest that the Edina Park Board may want to consider delaying action on this matter until the June meeting for two reasons: 1) Seek more input from other residents who do not live near the park. 2) Request staff to research and provide more information regarding other areas of concern to the Park Board. It is staff's recommendation that Park Board action should not be delayed any later than the June meeting to allow sufficient time to implement ESA's proposal or begin planning for the 1995-96 Bandy Program. -5 - PARK IMPROVEMENT PLAN UPDATE As mentioned at previous Park Board meetings, the City Council has asked staff to present a plan for repairing and upgrading Edina's park infrastructure. As you may recall, staff's original "vision" for repairing and upgrading the park system had a cost of approximately $9.3 million. Since that report to the Park Board in 1994, a few additional needs have been identified, such as: 1) The increased interest in building a third indoor hockey rink. 2) The urgent need to renovate the Courtney Fields and Garden Park baseball field. 3) The need to irrigate more athletic fields under the new Turf Management Plan. 4) The urgent need to permanently correct an identified design problem in the pool filter room. 5) Various other needs as recently identified by enterprise facility managers. Therefore, staff will have an updated copy of the current Park Improvement Plan to distribute at the May meeting. It is staff's recommendation that the Park Improvement Plan/Long-Range Planning Subcommittee review this plan and have a meeting prior to the June Park Board meeting. The Subcommittee would then make recommendations to the Park Board at the June meeting. SUBCOMMITTEE MEETINGS Staff would like to suggest the following options for each of the four Subcommittees to consider for their first meeting: By-laws and Articles of Organization 1) Andy Herring 2) Dave Crowther 3) Frank Bennett Wed., June 14 or Thurs., June 15, 1995 Capital Budgets/Fee Structure 1) Andy Herring 2) Jim Fee 3) Dave Crowther Mon., June 26 or Tues., June 27, 1995 Facility and Maintenance Committee 1) Andy Montgomery 2) John Dovolis 3) Jean Rydell Wed., June 21 or Thurs., June 22, 1995 Park Improvement/Long Range Planning Committee 1) Becky Bennett 2) Mike Burley 3) Beth Hall Wed., May 17, or Wed., May 24, 1995 I suggest that each meeting can be scheduled for either 7:30 a.m. or 7:00 p.m. for each of the suggested dates. Meeting places could be either at City Hall or at Perkins. Either bring your preferences to the Park Board meeting or simply call the Park and Recreation Department office at 927-8861. With your input, staff will set up the meeting dates, times and places. JUNE MEETING - INCLUDING PARR TOUR. •The June Park Board has traditionally included a tour of various parks and facilities throughout Edina. Please come to the May meeting with a suggested list of the parks and facilities you would like to visit in June. esu Q e eW 01 ate-/ .cue 6 QeL-"Z- I�� i ��tio� t � a S �S4 57131�inrith Dr �'" 9l{vmmpolis 'MTC 554331813 _ �..__.l c� � � �J � \ C�Y EJ � G �i �� � 1 � � �Vl R `.3 Sim Ir LeCHATAIGNIER CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION 7200 Cahill Rd, Edina, MN 55439 May 3, 1995.

We appreciate the Park and the winter activities of ice skating, bandy/games and use by families with young children during the winter months. Our windows are naturally closed during the winter months when there is no nuisance value, however, the summer months would be a disaster to all resi- dents with the increased traffic and noise levels.

Since Lewis Ridge Association Inc. is located next to Lewis Park, we are very interested and concerned regarding any future proposed park development. Before we respond to your letter of April 17, we would like to give you the following background information regarding our experiences with Lewis Park, the athletes who use the park including spectators and visitors, based on the present level of activity and control. 1. Lewis Ridge Parkway is a private driveway of the Lewis Ridge Condominium Association and the Lewis Ridge Townhome Association. It is also a fire lane for these complexes and it is clearly signed as a private driveway including no parking and fire lane signs. Notwithstanding this, our driveway is frequently used as a parking place by those participating in soccer, football and other park sports events. Our requests to such individuals to move their cars have been met with rude replies, obscene remarks and unwilling cooperation. 2. Residents of Lewis Ridge Condominium Association have also been asked by sports participants, etc. to use our private bathroom facilities. We have also observed persons changing clothes, etc. in the bushes and wooded areas surrounding our property. We believe that opening the park house restroom facility during sporting events would help. As stated above, these are examples of problems that we are currently experiencing with Lewis Park based on the present level of activity and control. We think it is safe to assume that the growth of the Edina soccer program at Lewis Park will compound these problems. Therefore, in order for us to provide the Community input you are seeking in your letter of April 17 on this important matter, we will need more information including your plans regarding the magnitude of the ultimate project being proposed. Specifically, we have the following questions and concerns: 1. Is the Soccer Association's offer to donate up to $40,000 intended to be just seed money with a larger expenditure planned? It seems that this amount would not cover much beyond grading and preparing the present space. -2 - To: Mr. John Keprios, Director, Edina Park and Recreation Dept. 2. Will the City of Edina undertake to improve Lewis Park needs such as: - Sanitary facilities - Adequate parking on Lewis Park grounds for proposed usage - Seating/stands - Traffic management 3. Will the Edina Police Department enforce and protect our privacy, no parking and fire lane signs? 4. What will be the Park's hours of operation? With answers to these questions we believe that the Lewis Ridge Condominium Association can make a more informed response to your request for community input. Thank you again for this opportunity to comment, and we look forward to your response in writing. Very truly yours Lewis Ridge Condominium Association Board of Directors Doris F.

I'd like to offer comments from my perspective both as a neighborhood resident who uses the park as well as a member of the Edina Hockey Association Board of Directors. As a resident, I would like to see the park be made available to both the soccer players and bandy players. There must be a way to use the field in question for both activities. If it requires compromise on the quality of the soccer surface, then it might be a fair trade-off in order to retain the large bandy/skating area. We can't afford to lose that field to a single season sport. Be creative, find a way to make an adequate (not perfect) soccer field out of the bandy park in the off season! Lewis Park is the most heavily use skating surface in Edina. The bandy rink is used for much more recreational skating than you may realize. Many adults and children learn to skate on the large smooth surface. Many younger children are not comfortable skating in the hockey rink because of the speed of the game played by the older children and adults. If the area in question can only be used for one sport, then i would prefer that it remain an ice surface_ The parking around Lewis park is already strained and further soccer pressure will result in even more overflow parking onto Dewey Hill Road and the side streets, such as Tara Road, where I live. Additionally, I believe the field may be located on swampy ground. The northeast side of the bandy rink (field) is continually wet. It may be difficult and expensive to make this into a a good soccer field. The Lewis Park proposal was also discussed at a recent Edina Hockey Association Board of Directors meeting. Tl,, Board is concerned about availabilitu of both indoor and outdoor, ice facilities. Lewis Park i _� our best outdoor facility. it is also our highest use facility. The availability of the bandy rink for skating skill improvement is something we would not want to lose. Thank you Jerry Wi towski 7224 Tara Road Edina, NN 55439 r KARL E. SANDT, M.

Dear Sir: Am writing to you in regards to the letter we received about developing a soccer field at Lewis Park. We do not approve of the development of a soccer field of this magnitude for the following reasons. We have lived at Lewis Ridge for almost five years and enjoy our daily walk for our health as do many older people in all the condos & townhomes from 70th & Cahill to 78th & Cahill. This area is populated with Senior Citizens and taxed heavily. At present we have toddlers in the playground equipment and will have more activity when your new equipment arrives. A few organized games and the ice skating in the winter we do not object too. We have some roller bladers and teen alters on bicycles who could be more careful and need more rules. People at the practice games are using our private driveway, which is a fire lane for parking and watching. Tournaments would bring young people from all areas. The field is only available from two sides. Too much confusion in a Senior area. We would like to see the walking paths improved. They all slope one way or the other. Dangerous to rollerbladers and to walkers. We object to a soccer field and hope you can find a more suitable place which has more parking available, restrooms and police detail. Sincerely, Clarence Guldberg h Guldber Gwe t g April 17, 1995 SUBJECT: Request for community input regarding Edina Soccer Association proposal to develop Lewis Park bandy/skating rink into a soccer field. Dear Resident: The volunteer advisory board to the Edina City Council, the Edina Park Board, is seeking community input on an important matter concerning your local park. Due to the soccer program's growth, the Edina Soccer Association has recently made a proposal to the Edina Park Board to develop the large bandy/skating rink area, at Lewis Park, into a playable soccer field area. The Edina Soccer Association has offered to donate up to $40,000 (from their association funds) to the City of Edina to pay for development expenses, such as, irrigation, grading, drainage and seeding. If the bandy/skating rink area were to be developed into a playable soccer field, the large area could then no longer be used for skating purposes in the winter. The smaller general skating rink and the hockey rink would still be maintained throughout the winter months, however, the large lighted soccer field would not be flooded for ice skating purposes. The Edina Park Board will be discussing, and possibly voting on, this proposal at their Board meeting on Tuesday, May 9, 1995, 7:30 p.m., Edina Council Chambers, Edina City Hall. Therefore, if you have an opinion that you wish to share with the Edina Park Board, please send your comments in writing and address the envelope to: Edina Park Board Edina City Hall 4801 West 50th Street Edina, MN 55424 As always, you are also welcome to attend the Edina Park Board meeting to share your comments in person. For your information, this notice has been mailed to every Edina resident who resides within approximately 500 feet of Lewis Park. If you have further questions about this matter, feel free to call me at 927-8861 ext. 230. Many thanks. Si erely, John Keprs6 , Director Edina Park and Recreation Dept.
