Pond was constructed in the area that Glenhurst Avenue was to occupy and to date no extension of

in the future.

VIII.A. BRAEMAR PARK MASTER PLAN—APPROVED
Parks and Recreation Director Kattreh said a request for proposal for urban design firms was advertised in
March 2017 with six proposals received and four firms interviewed by Parks & Recreation Commissioners,
Edina residents, and representatives from the Edina Nordic Ski Club, Edina High School Mountain Bike Club,
Minnesota Off Road Cyclist and staff members. The firm SRF was selected by the interview team with team
partners Applied Ecological Services and Trail Source LLC. Ms. Kattreh described the community
engagement process that included stakeholder interviews, multiple community open house opportunities,
and inventory and analysis review by the Parks & Recreation Commission. She stated the Commission
questioned availability of funding as well as possible stages for implementation of the master plan.
Ken Grieshaber, SRF Consulting Group, Inc., shared a summary of the Master Plan content that included
initiatives and five distinct zones. He outlined the recommendations of two miles of paved trails in and
around Braemar Field, three miles of soft surface trails that navigated almost the entire golf course, six miles
of mountain bike trails on the east and west side of the park and five miles of cross country ski trails. He
shared connections through the Nine Mile Creek and boardwalk connections, smaller loop trail systems and
eventual connections to Braemar Boulevard with Class II aggregate surfaces for best accessibility. He
commented on the portion of the bi-use trail with a minimum 12-foot wide boardwalk, wetland overlooks
and a highpoint overlook of the golf course areas with a mountain bike trail plan that included both beginner
and challenge elements.
Mr. Grieshaber explained minimum buffer requirements for adjacent residents and how trails would serve
both classic and skate skiing, parking lot challenges for the clubhouse and restaurant, sustainability through
permeable paving, tennis and possibly pickle ball courts, and the opportunity to develop more wood and
upland prairie areas.

Minutes/Edina City Council/January 3. 2018
The Council commented on the trail's challenge elements, boulevard plantings in both the parking lot and
on the golf course, trees varieties and plantings, the potential for golf course damage from the cross-country
trails, prioritization, and sequencing.
Mr. Grieshaber described how challenge elements would be incorporated to the side with additional
segments or jumps and explained how the cross-country trails could be fully or partially closed through
resident notification system to protect the golf course. Ms. Kattreh stated phasing options could be reviewed
by the Parks & Recreation Commission. She explained how tree plantings would occur first, with buckthorn
removal later allowing tree growth to enhance the visual separation from mountain biking.
The Council commended members of the committee for their work and the creation of a parkway fee. The
Council suggested more wayfinding options, an additional restaurant option, and commented on the
importance of leveraging the brand throughout and addressing baseball parking and capacity.
Member Staunton made a motion, seconded by Member Brindle, to approve the Braemar
Park Master Plan and forward to the Parks & Recreation Commission for recommendation on
phasing elements.
Ayes: Brindle, Fischer, Staunton, Stewart, Hovland
Motion carried.
