DRAFT Parks Capital Improvement Program [September 2002] The following is the narrative portion of the Parks Capital improvements progam. This same text may be abbreviated for use in the CF work sheets. Readers of this document should note that year 2003 will include park projects under construction from the platting process this year. Many of these are partnerships between the Developer and the City -and therefore Park Dedication monies or Trail Fees may not have been contributed to the City's coffers, but directly into new improvements. The primary benefit is thought to be reduced administration on the City's part, more timely implementation, and in some cases increased project efficiency [and cost], due to economies of scale associated with multi-million dollar, Developer funded improvement projects. 2003 #1 Plavequipment and parking area for Woodland Green $60,000 [est.] This project may be substantially complete in the fall of 2002. The Development A~eement for the Highlands at River Pines provides for the above and other park improvements occur in a prioritized manner. #2 Irrigation and Backstop for East half of Solstice $9,000 [est.] With the Platting of Birch Hill Lodges an additional 1-acre was added to the southeast comer of Solstice Park. The Developer is receiving quotes for City approval for the backstop and complete irrigation system. #3 Ag Lime Infield for Riverdale Park $5,000 [est.] The Final Platting of Rivenwick 3ra Addition is likely to result in a Development Agreement as in the case above wherein certain local park improvements are specified as a Stage 1 improvement. 4/4 Hexagonal Shelter alon~ the Mississippi River $31,000 [est.] This project would also occur in the same manner as the above as part of Rivenwick 3rd.
