VIII. City Council Updates July 18 and Aug. 2, 2017
A. Chair McCormick acknowledged the receipt of the City Council updates
IX. Chair And Commissioner Comments
• Commissioner Strother indicated that she has seen folks playing cricket on a baseball/softball
field. She thinks it’s something they should keep their eye on because in the past they have
talked about different ways different types of fields could be utilized. Commissioner Miller
added every Friday night there is also a group playing cricket within the hockey boards at
Cornelia School Park.
• Commissioner Good indicated he participated in the first walk through of the new Braemar
Golf Course; there will be two more taking place one in September and one in October. He
noted it was fun to see the course starting to take shape as well as it was somewhat
surprising to see how much progress has been made.
• After reading in the City Council updates regarding the approval of work being done on a
number of tennis courts Commissioner Good suggested information such as this should be
communicated to the Adopt-a-Park contacts. He thinks the residents would appreciate
knowing it has been approved and can look forward to it happening. Assistant Parks &
Recreation Director Faus stated
Staff Liaison Kattreh and herself have recently discussed they need to be communicating well
in advance that these projects are happening. Commissioner Miller suggested with the
marketing/communication initiative with the Work Plan maybe they can put a better plan in
place.

Development Framework
Create a place with a unique identity announced by signature elements like: an iconic ‘gateway”, a central commons, serves the neighborhood’s needs, innovative 21st century sustainability approach
Completely rethink and reorganize the District’s transportation infrastructure to: make the district accessible to pedestrians and cyclists, provide automobile friendly access to convenience retail and preserve future transit opportunities consistent with the
district’s envisioned character
Leverage public resources to make incremental value-creating changes that enhance the public realm and encourage voluntary private redevelopment consistent with the vision that improves the quality of the neighborhood for residents, businesses, and
property owners
The CITY of
EDINA2016 Grandview District
Transportation Study
Short Term Changes (0-5 Years)
◦Pedestrian crossing and intersection improvements for Vernon and Eden Avenues
◦Conversion of two off-ramps from Highway 100
◦Reconfiguration of Arcadia Avenue along former Public Works site to accommodate pedestrians and bikers
Mid Term Changes (5-15 Years)
◦Vernon and Eden Avenues converted to support bikes, pedestrians, greenspace and traffic management
◦Added infrastructure to support bicycling on Eden Avenue over Highway 100
◦Enhanced bus stops
◦New frontage road providing southbound access to Highway 100 and development parcels on west side of Highway 100
◦Improved parking
Long Term Changes (15-30 Years)
◦New pedestrian and cyclist connection over Highway 100 to City Hall
◦New frontage road providing northbound access to Highway 100 and development parcels on east side of Highway 100
◦Direct connection for high capacity transit line and new district parking on the former public works site
The CITY of
EDINAGrandview Green Feasibility Study
In summary, the May 2017 feasibility study found:
◦No major fatal flaws in the development of a green lid over limited portions of Highway 100.
◦This concept has the potential to create approximately 13 acres of new buildable land on 16 parcels.
◦The area has the potential to support 2,525 new parking spaces and an additional 2.4 million square feet in private development.
◦After completion, property tax revenue is projected to increase from approx. $2 million to $100 million.
◦There is a dramatic range in the level of public investment that could be needed for this project:
$6.7 million for the construction of one lid segment (another est. $2.3 million for design, landscaping, etc.)
$70-90 million if both lid segments, new roads and off-ramps and public parking ramps are constructed
◦Several public entities could potentially be involved in this project –MnDOT, the Metropolitan Council, Hennepin County, the City of Edina and possibly others.
◦The initial economic analysis predicts the public investment will realize a 348% return on investment
over a fifteen year period (assumes a public investment of $37 million).

Braemar Park Master Plan Project Schedule
Summary of Community Meeting #1 Display Board Comments – July 26, 2017
What types of new amenities or improvements would you like to see at Braemar
Park?
Playground Facility – Limited playgrounds in surrounding neighborhood. Playground was removed when
Braemar Field was developed and a new one should be provided somewhere in park
Picnic Tables/Shelters – Family area for picnics and shade accommodations
Improved Signage and Wayfinding – Very important need throughout park
Lighting and Sideline Fencing on Premier Field – benchmark field needed for “home” field
Improved Accessibility – Extend sidewalk along Braemar Boulevard to connect to golf course and other
park amenities
Improved Bike and Pedestrian Trail Circulation - Create a 3 mile walking/running path through woods,
connect walking path on east hill to 78th Street and to rest of park. Keep ability for hiking/running and
mountain bike trails to co-exist
Other - Cross Country Ski Trails – huge demand for additional ski trails, on golf course only
Nature Activities – nature focused trail separate from mountain biking
Soccer/Lacrosse Field Near Gleason
What other types of uses would you like to see at Braemar Golf Course?
Slidding Hill - Slidding hill already present on Golf Course, new hill not needed
Platform Tennis – good winter sport option for golf course area, also consider lawn games
XC Ski Trails – Use edges of golf course for trails, no snow making, large demand for ski trails
Other – Whatever is implemented should be respectful to residents (lighting, sound, etc.)
Goal shouldn’t be to have a revenue generating enterprise other than what already exists
What types of trail uses would you like to see accommodated or expanded at
Braemar Park?
Mountain Biking – 19 yes, 1 no – MB riding is a great family activity, best use for trail type because of
terrain, should limit impact on natural resources, growing sport, good activity for teenage youth,
volunteers can maintain trail, silent sport, no lighting needed, do not have to worry about conflicts with
cars
Walking/Hiking/Running – 17 yes, 1 no – trail access needed to neighborhood, connect east and west
side trails, keep separate from mountain bike trails, Braemar Boulevard needs a completed sidewalk
system on south side of street
Fat Tire Biking (Winter) – 16 yes, 2 no – provides more year-round activity in park, same summer mb
trails can be used, low impact on natural resources
Cross Country Skiing – 5 yes, 4 no – currently there are limited areas to ski in City, would be nice to have
it consistently groomed, skiers will come to use golf course even if it is not groomed
Snowshoeing – 10 yes, 3 no – people use trails now to snow shoe, trails should be marked better to
improve wayfinding, snow shoe users can also use fat tire mb trails
How and where should natural resource areas be enhanced as part of the
Braemar Park experience?
Wetland/floodplain areas on the north and south sides of park - 2 yes
Woodland areas on the east and west sides of park - 5 yes – important areas to restore, keep east hill a
natural area, maintain natural trails
Improved boardwalk/trail access to natural areas – 7 yes – maintain access to commercial buildings to
south, create a loop system
Add overlooks and seating areas – 7 yes – add shade structures along trail
Remove and manage invasive plant material – 3 yes – 25 year effort has not completed very good
results, focus on removals in oak woodland areas
Provide interpretation/educational signage elements – 3 yes – stormwater education, dry creek beds,
infiltration areas, especially behind dome, Courtney parking lot

Subject: Braemar Park Master Plan – Stakeholder Meeting Comments
The following summary of comments were made with recreation, environmental, trail user, and City
Staff stakeholder groups held on June 28 and June 29 at the Braemar Golf Course Clubhouse.
Recreation Stakeholders – Meeting Attendees:
ESC Tiffany Hoffman – Recreation Supervisor
Jeff Northrup – Edina Soccer Club
Greg Brown – Edina Baseball Association
Brenda McCormick – Parks and Recreation Commission Chair
Sheffield and Athena Priest – Tin Fish
o Cortney Fields are heavily programmed from May 1 through July. There is some High
School use of fields in April and May, and a fall baseball program in September with
lower intensity field use. Fields are typically rested and not programmed in August.
o Braemar Field is programmed about 20 percent of the time for baseball activities and
65 percent of the time for soccer activities from November 1 through April 30.
o The Golf Dome is used for some recreational sports during the winter months.
o Baseball outfields no longer used for soccer and football activities.
o Field #1 needs updated athletic field lighting.
o Have looked at adding grandstand seating area for Field #1 to expand seating capacity to
250-500 spectators.
o Would like to add some higher side line fencing to keep foul balls from going on to
other fields.
o Providing more shade for spectators as part of grandstand has also been studied.
o Some areas of fields having standing water after heavy rains.
o Courtney Fields are hosting a Legion Tournament next summer.
o There is limited open lawn space areas for player warm ups.
o Accessibility walk access to fields is a challenge.

o Some consideration should be given to adding a new soccer field within the Braemar
Golf Course between Zone 3 and Braemar Boulevard.
o Park entrance signage and wayfinding needs to be improved throughout the park.
o Adding a play area component to Zone 1 or Zone 3 would be a nice amenity to have in
the park.
o Entrance/arrival experience to Braemar Arena needs to be improved.
o Tin Fish Owners would like to see opportunities explored for increasing visibility of the
restaurant within the park and identify more public uses near golf course to attract more
year-round customers.
o Installation of a fire sprinkler system on the outdoor rink would allow for larger crowds
and programming events to be accommodated here.
o Would like to see side netting or rain shields installed on the sides of the rink
Environmental Stakeholders – Meeting Attendees
Randy Anhorn – Nine Mile Creek Watershed District
Karen Wold – Barr Engineering
Doug Mensing – Applied Ecological Services
o New Proposed boardwalks within floodplain would have to be installed 24 inches
above the low floor ground elevation.
o Wetland delineations have been competed for most areas of the park. Barr will provide
mapping to SRF.
o If helical post systems are used for boardwalks, impacts to wetlands would need to be
accounted for all post locations.
o Watershed District is interested in projects which promote the treatment and reuse of
storm water in the park which could include developing irrigation systems for the golf
course and athletic field areas. Agency may also have financial resources to contribute
towards these types of projects which could be implemented in the park.
o Wetland buffer requirements need to be met for installation of all new trail systems.
o More follow up is needed with the ACOE to determine what restrictions may be in place
for implementing park improvements within the two oak savanna restoration areas
within Zone 1 and Zone 2 of the park.
o Winter trail alignments through any wetland areas for fat tire mountain biking and/or xc
skiing would have to be evaluated in more detail to determine if there were any adverse
impacts to wetland areas for winter use.

o New mountain bike trails should include provisions for signage, bike wash stations,
vehicle parking, bike parking, locker, and shower facilities if possible.
o Trail connections to the park should also be made with surrounding City and Regional
trail systems to promote safe and convenient access to the park.
o Mountain bike user groups would support developing some shared use walking trail
systems if needed in some areas of the park to establish new trail connections around the
perimeter of the park.
o Trail system should offer a varying range of difficulty and challenge for bike users and
offer family friendly trails.
o Lebanon Hills in Dakota County is a good example of a well-designed mountain bike
trail system.
o Having a trail system 3-5 miles long would be a targeted goal for the park.
o Edina High School mountain bike team has interest in using park as training facility or
possibly hosting a high school meet which could attract 500-700 riders. Parking
accommodations would have to be planned to not impact golf course and other parking
needs for the park.
o High School currently has about 65 kids on mountain bike team.
o Trail systems should be designed to have good flow with grade changes and smooth
turning corners and constructed using sustainable trail design practices to minimize
maintenance needs and avoid soil erosion.
o One-way directional trails are preferred for mountain bike trails.
o Would be nice to have a separate practice skills area as part of mountain bike trail riding
area.
o Maximum trail width should be five feet to allow for a rider passing lane.
o A controlled access point should be established for the trail system so it can be closed
when there are poor trail conditions.
o MORC often uses volunteers to maintain trail systems through contracts established
with land owner. Volunteer maintenance would include keeping the trail clear of
vegetation and maintaining trail surfacing.
o Installation costs for mountain bike trails are $5-8 per lineal foot depending on the trail
section type and gradient being constructed.
o Fat tire biking on trails should also be accommodated during the winter months

o Edina High School has interest in using the park and golf course for xc skiing when
snow conditions are good. Teams currently use Wirth Park because of more reliable trail
conditions with snow making facilities.
o Soft surface trails in the park are also used for dry land xc ski training during the fall
season.
o High School currently maintains about 5k of trails on school property and make some
snow to provide more reliable ski trail conditions. New building expansion, athletic field
improvements, and a new regional trail have all impacted the current trail system which
will reduce the length and quality of trail.
o High School currently has 150-200 kids in xc ski program.

o New sideline fencing upgrades have been requested to control foul balls going on
adjacent fields.
o New LED field lighting is being studied to be installed on field #1.
o Building improvements for storage and other uses are being requested for the second
floor of the concession/restroom building.
o Public Works will be repaving the east side segment of Braemar Boulevard later this year
before the golf course opens in 2018.
o Pedestrian and bike movement connections are challenging along Braemar Boulevard,
especially near connection with US 169 Frontage Road and conflicts with maintenance
facility driveways.
o Wayfinding needs to be improved throughout the park.

Braemar Park Master Plan
July 5, 2017

o Master plan recommendations should consider City adopted climate change goals for the
reduction of greenhouse gases, consideration of climate change impacts, and utilizing
efficient energy systems within the park.
o Like the idea of incorporating a natural play area somewhere in park.
o City has received calls about wanting an archery range installed in the park.
o Neighborhood currently uses the Academy 9 area of the golf course for informal
sledding.
o Spectators attending athletic events at the park are looking for things to do between
games and providing more visibility and awareness of Tin Fish restaurant, surrounding
trail systems, and a play area for kids would help provide more activities for these park
user groups.
o There may be more opportunities to create additional trail systems in Zone 2 near the
public works cold storage facility but there is concern for avoiding conflicts with large
service vehicles coming and going from this area of the park.
o There are challenges with maintaining some of the lawn and planting areas between the
frontage road and parking lots in Zone 1. Consideration for no-mow turf areas should
be considered here.
o Pursuing new park improvements within the old gun range site on the southwest corner
of park should be avoided because of potential soil contamination issues there.
o Master plan recommendations should also integrate new initiatives being considered as
part of the new pedestrian/bike system plan being completed by the City.
