<br />Ponds <br />Restoration <br />Total Phase 1 <br /> <br />37,000 <br />12,000 <br />474,000 <br /> <br />Civil Engineer II Linton noted the first phase of the project would provide just under 200 parking <br />stalls. <br /> <br />Chairperson Zimmerman questioned if the proposed parking for.Phase One would suffice if <br />soccer is played here. <br /> <br />Civil Engineer II Linton replied Mr. Casey from RY AA had indicated he felt 400 stalls would be <br />necessary, which is what the ultimate design shows. He noted additional development will be <br />coming into Ramsey, and this is one option to get the project started, with more the project being <br />completed as the City receives more park dedication funds. One item that did not get into the <br />budget is the cost of the driveway extension to the north. The owner of the parcels north of the <br />park, John Peterson, has verbally agreed to let the City use an existing driveway to access the <br />park. The plan would be to widen the driveway to 24 feet by rolling back the sod and placing 6" <br />of class 5 and no bituminous. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig questioned if the planned excavation is necessary for trails versus heavily <br />traveled roads. <br /> <br />ParkslUtilities Supervisor Riverblood replied in his opinion it is probably not necessary. Also, <br />the extreme northeast comer of the park consists of sand, as well as the driveway connection. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig questioned if the trail fees and park dedication fees are two different <br />funds. <br /> <br />Civil Engineer II Linton responded in the affirmative. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cook asked if it is known that there will be park dedication funds coming in this <br />year, so they can complete the whole project by mid summer. He assumes there will be some <br />development happening up in the Oak Park district. He questioned if there are funds from Town <br />Center Gardens. <br /> <br />Civil Engineer II Linton stated this would need to be verified with Finance Officer Lund. <br /> <br />Chairperson Zimmerman stated the City has to live within their means, but they can at least get <br />started on the project. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig asked Bill Casey of R Y AA if 200 stalls is a reasonable start to get this <br />project active. <br /> <br />Mr. Casey replied it will do the job short term. His concern is that during next year's <br />construction season they will need the full capacity of the park as far as playing surface.
