CASE #1 <br />SUNFISH LAKE RECREATIONAL DISTRICT <br /> By: Leonard Linton, Civil Engineer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Staffhas been preparing reviews of each Recreational District as time allowed. The November <br />2005 meeting reviewed the sketch plan for a mixed-use residential development in this district. <br />The sketch plan was reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council. Both bodies <br />directed the developer to modify the sketch plan and re-submit. The revised plans have not been <br />submitted; however, discussion of the sketch plan also included the park property on the <br />southwest side of Sunfish Lake. <br /> <br />This recreation district includes Emerald Pond, Flintwood Terrace and Hunter's Hill parks. <br />Ramsey Elementary School is also in this Recreation District. The park amenities include <br />restrooms, parking, skating, hockey and warming house, softball fields, soccer/football field, <br />play areas, picnic areas and trails. <br /> <br />A request for proposal for concept planning in the park was issued in the fall of 2003. This was <br />the same time period that Ramsey Town Center was applying for and receiving final plat <br />approval. The proposal was not reviewed or accepted by the City Council at that time. The park <br />property is narrow and is bounded by Sunfish Lake on the east and Sunfish Lake Boulevard on <br />the west. The preliminary sketch included in one proposal showed a passive park with open area <br />for observing the lake and having picnics. <br /> <br />The recreation district includes Alpine Acres Townhomes, The Ponds townhomes and the <br />Village of Sunfish Lake along with multiple single family developments. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation: <br /> <br />The trails shown on the Park and Trail plan must be incorporated into developments proposed in <br />this district. A list of recommended amenities should be prepared so that it can be provided to <br />developers contemplating projects in the district. <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Based upon discussion. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br />Assistant Director Public Works/Principal Engineer <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor <br /> <br />P&R: 1/12/06 <br /> <br /> <br />
