We would like to go to the Milwaukee Art Museum to see their world-class art exhibit entitled "Leonardo de Vinci and the Splendors of Poland" which is being held September 13 through November 24th. Please refer to enclosed information sent to us by the Milwaukee Art Museum. This would be the only opportunity for some of us to see this exhibit. This is the first time these collections have been anywhere outside of Europe. Our group respectfully requests the use of the Columbia Heights community van for this trip if enough people are interested to make it feasible. We already have an experienced, reliable driver. Clifford Shedlov has volunteered to drive if you grant this request. We already have several people interested in going - but have not promoted this activity to all our members because we thought it best to check on the possibility of our use of the van first. The Museum Tour Director has recommended that we make reservations for our tour as soon as possible'because they are experiencing fantastic response from all over the country! Please contact me if you need more information or have any questions. Thank you / Dziekuje for your consideration of this request from one of our solid, active citizen organizations.

It will then travel to the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, (December 8, 2002 - February 16, 2003) and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco: California Palace of the Legion of Honor (March 8, 2003 - May 15, 2003). The exhibition was organized by the Milwaukee Art Museum. Leonardo da Vinci and the Splendor of Poland: A History of Collecting and Patronage is sponsored by We Energies Corporation, Christopher Seton Abele, Polish National Alliance, Trust for Mutual Understanding, Spirit of Milwaukee, The Ko~ciuszko Foundation, Inc., An American Center for Polish Culture and Polanki, the Polish Women's Cultural Club of Milwaukee. It is funded in part by a grant from the Wisconsin Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities, and supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and Humanities. Transportation is provided by LOT Polish Airlines. Promotional support is provided by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The exhibition includes many outstanding paintings, the most famous of which is Leonardo da Vinci's Lady with an Ermine (Cecilia Gallerani) from Cracow. Other highlights include Hans Memling's great Last Judgment from Gdafisk, which has not previously been seen in the United States. There are five of Bernardo Bellotto's famous views of Warsaw. Milwaukee Art Museunff2 Also included are major Polish paintings from the last 500 years and a group of late 19th century paintings by Jewish artists. The exhibition will highlight Poland's place in history as a meeting ground for artists and intellectuals of many nationalities; a center for rich and diverse forms of royal patronage incorporating Italian, Netherlandish and French influences; a hub for international trade that produced a pluralism of taste, and a country that clung to its artistic culture in the face of a geopolitical order that shattered its national independence throughout much of the 19th and 20th centuries. Adding poignancy and power to this exhibition is Poland's determination over the past 50 years to recover and restore national treasures that were stolen or displaced during World War II. The exhibition will tell, for the first time, the story of the fate of important collections of European paintings in Poland as well as works by late 19th century Jewish artists. A number of the paintings will be on view for the first time since recovery and conservation. Russell Bowman, Director of the Milwaukee Art Museum, noted, "Leonardo da Vinci and the Splendor of Poland is a much larger exhibition, both physically and intellectually, than we have been able to organize previously at this museum. It will be the first in a series of ambitious exhibitions made possible by the Museum's recent expansion into the new Quadracci Pavilion designed by Santiago Calatrava." Laurie Winters, the Museum's curator of Earlier European Art, has stated, "The cultural history of Poland is little known today, but Poland had a rich culture from the Renaissance into the 19th century. This exhibition and its catalogue are intended to shed light on this hitherto lost aspect of European cultural history." Winters is one of several essayists who are contributing chapters to the exhibition's catalogue. Published by the Milwaukee Art Museum and Yale University Press, the book will chronicle Poland's cultural contact with Italy, the history of collecting through the 17th and 18th centuries, Polish art through the 19th century, restorations and collecting in Poland and the current state of Poland's museums. Other contributing essayists include Paul W. Knoll, professor of history, University of Southern California; Wojciech Kowalski, professor of law, University of Silesia, Katowice; Andrzej Rottermund, director of the Royal Castle, Warsaw; Piotr S. Wandycz, Bradford Dufee professor of history, Yale University; Dorota Folga-Januszewska, ( more ) Milwaukee Art Museunff3 director of collections and research, National Museum, \Varsaw; Janusz Watek, deputy director and curator of foreign paintings, The Princes Czartoryski Museum, Cracow; and Antoni Ziemba, curator of Dutch and Flemish paintings, National Museum, Warsaw. Through the exhibition, the Milwaukee Art Museum will host and partner with local and international organizations, such as the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, to present a broad range of educational pro,ams and activities designed to enhance the understanding of Polish culture to diverse audiences. Activities will include musical performances, film series, lectures and a symposium. The Museum will expand its hours during the exhibition only, opening seven days a week from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., except Thursdays when it will remain open until 8 p.m. About the Milwaukee Art Museum The Milwaukee Art Museum includes the new Santiago Calatrava-designed Quadracci Pavilion, completed in October, 2001 and named by Time magazine "Best Design of 2001"; renovated and reinstalled permanent collection galleries; and elegant public gardens designed by noted landscape architect Dan Kiley. The Museum's 2001 expansion provided a 30 percent increase in overall gallery space, enhanced educational and public programming facilities, and expanded public amenities. The Milwaukee Art Museum's far-reaching holdings include more than 20,000 works spanning antiquity to the present day. With a history dating back to 1888, the Museum's primary strengths are in 19th- and 20th-century American and European art, contemporary art, American decorative arts, Old Master works, and folk and self-taught art.

The Commission unanimously recommended that the current parkland status be eliminated to allow for future development, as this is consistent with the parkland section of the City Comprehensive Plan. Although it was not part of the motion, I would like to express the Park and Recreation Commission's feelings regarding the sale of the property. The Commission discussed the money that may be generated from the sale of this property. The consensus of the Commission was that they would like to see any money generated from the sale of this property to be put back into our parks.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (Short Form) COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA CREATION OF A HUSET PARK MASTER PLAN II. INTRODUCTION The City of Columbia Heights is a northern, first ring suburb of Minneapolis. The City is fully developed in an area of approximately 4 square miles with a population of 19,000. The majority of the City contains single family homes, comprising approximately 5,135 parcels, or 64 percent of the total 7,975 parcels. Commercial development is concentrated along Central and University Avenues. Most of Columbia Heights is rolling to hilly terrain with several small lakes and ponds. Fueled by development in the 1960's and 70's, the City became actively involved in the expansion of the Columbia Heights Park System by acquiring "leftover" parcels on land to be developed into City Parks. The City's largest park, Huset Park, is 28 acres in size and in need of complete redevelopment. The City of Cohm~bia Heights is requesting proposals to provide professional services required for creation of a detailed Huset Park Master Plan. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS Interested firms should submit their proposal no later than 3:30 P.M. on June 28, 2002 to the Director of Public Works, 637 38th Ave. N.E., Columbia Heights, MN 55421. In submitting a proposal to provide the required services, the following is required in order to expedite the review process by the representatives of the City. The length of the proposal should not exceed 3 pages, excluding figures, resumes of personnel, firm experience, qualifications, site plans, etc. The proposal should not contain non-applicable promotional materials and should address only the points requested in this document, including proposed time schedule to complete the work and associated fees. If requested elsewhere in this RFP, provide separate schedules and fees for separate sections of work. A schedule of the most current billing rates for individuals involved; this must include a total cost to complete the work in the specified time frame. Four copies of the proposal should be addressed to the Director of Public Works/City Engineer, 637 38th Ave. N.E., Columbia Heights, Minnesota, 55421, to be received by 3:30 P.M. June 28, 2002. If the firm is proposing to use subcontracts, the subcontractor should be identified along with how the work will be divided. The City of Columbia Heights reserves the right to reject any proposal that does not comply with the requirements of this R.F.P. RFP - HUSET PARK MASTER PLAN Page 2 III. SCOPE OF PRQ|ECT The City of Columbia Heights desires to create an overall Master Plan to be used for the redevelopment of Huset Park. This plan will likely be used to focus a staged implementation and financing plan. The plan could possibly include picnic shelters, reconstructed ball fields, paved trails, age delineated play areas, and multiple use areas. A Comprehensive Park System Plan was completed in 1996 for the entire City and is available from the Public Works office for review. The following items will be required as part of this project: A. Huset Park Master Plan Develop a report and site plan that details a process for the City Council to implement a master park plan for Huset Park. The project is to include the necessary site design, layout, detailed amenities, and complete cost estimate for each element of the redevelopment plan of this park. When the plan is completed the City of Columbia Heights should be able to break the development into construction phases and then prepare documents for the "specifications and bidding" process. The process for report development should generally cover (but is not limited to) the following. 1) Background Information and data gathering: (a) City Staff (Parks Department & Commmfity Center Staff) (b) Park & Rec Commission (c) Pubhc Information Meeting (Huset Neighborhood Group) 2) Review & Update 1996 Park Plan: Huset Park Only 3) Identify Property Needs and Del-me Acquisition Process 4) Develop preliminary site layout plan 5) Prepare Preliminary Cost Estimates 6) Review Prehminary Site Layout Plan: (a) City Staff (b) Park & Rec Commission (c) Public Information Meeting (Huset Neighborhood Group) 7) Final Site Layout, Design and Plan 8) Concept Illustrations (multiple views) 9) Detailed Cost Estimates 10) Evaluation of Financing Options 11) Huset Park Redevelopment Plan 12) Council Review/Discussion at a Workshop B. General The City will provide the consultant with copies of color aerial photos (9'x9'), existing GIS data or other information available at the city. Consultants interested in submitting a proposal will be able to review these documents or data at the office of the City Engineer. The City's comprehensive plan has also been updated and is available in hardcopy or electronic format. In prepahng a proposal, the consultant shall take into consideration that the City is largely residential, with development occurring generally from 1940-1970. Major updates or improvements to Huset Park have not occurred in the last 30 years. RFP - HUSET PARK MASTER PLAN Page 3 C. Site Specifics The overall existing use of the park is not intended to change. A Master Plan concept is desired for detailed park planning, improve spatial planning and use flow, and City budgeting. It is the City's intent to focus initially on amenity uses such as playgrounds, picnic shelters and walking trails and ultimately on ballfield reconstruction, including softball, soccer, and football. A public facility is also located on the northwestern quadrant of the park, known as Murzyn Hall. This building essentially serves as the Community Center with Recreation, Youth and Senior Citizen Programs run out of this facility, including preschool. The main hall is rented out throughout the year for a variety of activities including weddings and community events. Park Amenities/Uses that will serve or compliment the activities run out of Murzyn Hall must also be taken into consideration. Storm water runoff has been an issue in the general area surrounding Huset Park. The Master Plan should include 'areas' for the ponding of surface water runoff within the park that will have minimum effects on the available play areas. It is not the City's requirement that detailed modeling and storage requirements be conducted under the Master Plan, only that areas be identified (and spatially fitted) that may accommodate the drainage area internal to the park. D. Options The consultant shall provide a separate cost estimate for the preparation of a grant application to the MNDNR under the 2003 Outdoor Recreation Grant Program for funding assistance. The grant shall exclude ballfields and water amenities and be focused on the immediate needs detailed in the report such as new Playground Equipment, a Picnic Shelter, a walking trail and/or Senior Related activity areas such as Bocce Ball or Horseshoe areas. IV. PROPOSAL CONTENTS 1. Project Approach Should reflect the fn-m's understanding of the requirements of the project and present a task-by- task description of the work to be accomplished. Merely restating the scope of services will not be acceptable. 2. Schedule Should include a schedule depicting the task activities, their inter-relationships, and the projected completion dates.

The City's desire to revitalize this great resource demonstrates your commitment to providing quality recreational amenities for the City's residents. We appreciate the opportunity to help you with this important project. Our firm excels at planning and designing parks and open space facilities - from activity-filled community parks with plaza and picnic areas, playgrounds, and ballfields, to more passive, open- space areas. We are well practiced at designing the architectural components of a successful park, including restrooms and park pavilions. We are also skilled at incorporating stormwater ponds into a park's overall aesthetic theme. Much of the success of our master planning process lies in the fact that we strongly encourage early and on-going communication with the City and its residents. Meetings, open houses and other venues will help us learn what you want to see happen with Huset Park. It will then be our job to interpret and convert those ideas, goals and values into a master plan that is implementable. Any questions you have regarding our submittal would be welcomed. I can be reached at (651) 604-4852, or through email at cbehringer(~bonestroo.com. We're excited about the challenges and opportunities this project presents, and we look forward to getting started!

E3 Project Understanding The City of Columbia Heights, population ! 9,000, is comprised mostly of.young families and seniors. It is a first ring suburb located.just north of the St. Paul/Minneapolis metro area. Columbia Heights believes in a strong sense of community and prides itself on being a desirable place to live and work. The City of Columbia Heights believes one way to achieve and maintain this goal is to promote parks and trails as essential elements of a broader strategy. The goal is a safe, flexible, and attractive park and open space system based on community characteristics, changing demographics and overall needs. With 28 acres, Huset Park is the largest and most popular of the City's 14- parks. It is because of this starring role that the City is now seeking services for developing a Master Plan for Huset Park. Revitalization and improvement efforts will include the necessary site design, engineering, landscape architecture, phasing, land acquisition possibilities and preliminary cost estimates. Throughout the years, Huset Park has suffered from a lack of maintenance, age, and over use, and it has not been extensively updated in 30 years. Existing amenities are: two play areas {one which is updated for ADA Accessibility) 5 baseball/softball fields - 2 lighted an 1890's skating rink volleyball courts lighted basketball courts; and lighted tennis courts in unusable condition · bocce ball and horseshoe courts · a wading pool · warming house · a picnic shelter, and · four parking lots We have included a graphic at the end of this section that identifies the park's existing conditions, features and surrounding areas. Project Approach The park's overall existing use will not change, although site planning is intended to improve the spatial planning and use of this park. Improvements that will be looked at in the master plan process are: play area upgrades with age groupings, a look at the current wading pool and continued use or alternate water play use, picnic shelter/picnic open areas, pedestrian trails with connections to City trail system, ballfield reconstruction, youth soccer, youth football and amenities to compliment the uses of Murzyn Hall. Appropriately handling stormwater runoff is an issue due to the flat grades within the park. A "big-picture" approach to evaluating the site's hydrology will allow us to identify those areas that may accommodate ponds internally. It is important to address this issue and handle a planned pond as a stormwater detention pond and park amenity. As with any project, communication p~a.ys an important role. We will work closely with the City Staff, Park Commission, the Huset Neighborhood and City Council throughout the design process. Key issues for Master Planning the City of Columbia Heights Huset Park include: ~ C/t2/of Co/umb/a I/eights ~ I~uset Park Master Plan We'Il consider an alternative aquatic experience as the existing wading pool is high maintenance and not compliant with current codes. The park has little slope and poor. draining soils, so runoff issues must be addressed through the park to maximize its use. · Current recreational needs -- We need to identify the needs of area residents, City Staff 'Vision" and the Park Commission; evaluate facilities already available to meet those needs, and look at long-range acquisitions and determine options. · Analyzing the quality and adequacy of current utilities -- This evaluation should identify the characteristics of existing park utilities and any issues, problems or concerns that affect them. · Integrating the new with the existing to remain -- The new site amenities, screening the industrial corridor, and stormwater ponding must be carefully considered to blend with features that will remain. Priority Phasing - Developing Huset '~4est' as a priority over Huset 'East'; develop park amenities vs. field development. Public Involvement -- City residents and park neighbors have an interest in the recreational and passive uses of Huset Park and should be actively involved in its evaluation and development. A park identity may be appropriate, keeping in mind the integration of the total park system. ~ Snort- and long-range facility development and management -- We'll need to prioritize facilities and activities to be developed both in the short and long term. This includes looking at the quality of equipment installed and including their maintenance costs in the City's CIP. · Costs -- ~Je will carefully define the costs for the proposed facilities. Scope and Schedule The following tasks are considered Basic Services to be provided by Bonestroo. ProJect Initiation We will conduct a kick-off meeting with City Staff to confirm the scope and identify planning issues and needs. {This could include the Park Commission}. We'll also need a Public Information Meeting with Huset Neighborhood Group and interested Columbia Heights Citizens to get their initial thoughts and ideas for the park. Task 1 m Site Inventory Inventory Existing Physical Conditions -- We will visit the project site, complete a photo inventory, and document all pertinent information in the project area regarding the physical environment. This will provide a convenient tool for the analysis and design process. Review Background Material -- Available background material and past studies relating to the project area will be reviewed and evaluated to identify pertinent data for the project. Prepare Project Area Base Map -- Prepare design backgrounds of project site that accurately depict site features to serve as basis for design. ~(/e have assumed that an electronic format survey base of the site will be provided to us. Should an additional topographic survey be required, we can provide this as a Supplemental Service. Task I Deliverab/es: · Summary of project background materials · Project area base map Task 2 - Site ,analysis Evaluate Field Data -- Field data will be evaluated to identify features and forces that affect the project area, including such things as existing site features, existing vegetation, soil erosion, stormwater run-off, utilities, signage, etc. City of Columbia Heights ~-~ Huset Park Master I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I t I A goal for the masterplan is to reorganize baseball and softball fields and provide additional youth soccer and football fields.

Master Plan Blends New I~ecreational Amenities and Restores Ecological Balance to Popular Lakeside Park Neshotah Park is the City's primary community park located along Lake Michigan. About 15 years ago, sand dunes and accompanying vegetation were removed to provide a better view of the lake. With nothing now between the beach front and neighboring residential areas, it is important that the balance between the land and park elements be evaluated to restore an ecological balance. The City chose Bonestroo to complete a Master Plan study that would address several concerns, including: · Impact of wind and erosion on the shoreline · Improved activities area · Traffic levels · Links to the community · Land management · Operational efficiencies and revenue potential · Environmental education opportunities · Fundraising opportunities Through a design charette process, Bonestroo developed five alternative concept plans for the City to review. Each shows a different way to blend traffic circulation, access roads, parking, entry features, restored rock gardens, trails, tennis courts, horseshoe pits, ball fields and picnic areas. The ultimate goal will be to narrow this focus to a design that will provide an attractive environmental and creational asset for the community.

To improve safety along the popular existing trail, Bonestroo recommends providing a separate trail for bikes and pedestrians wherever feasible. Play structures will be updated, ball fields will be re-oriented to accommodate new soccer fields, volley ball courts will be moved out of the children's play area and close to the beach, and the tennis courts will be replaced, and open space will be re-graded to accommodate passive and active recreational activities. Vegetation along the lake's edge has not been maintained. Under Bonestroo's plan, vegetation overtaking the shoreline will be removed, opening a path to the lake's beautiful view. Streambank stabilization work will protect and maintain the lake's shoreline. being outside. One planned feature, the "ski-swing" duplicates the action of a real slalom course. Periodic meetings with neighbors and members of the NRP committee and the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board built consensus and support for/he project. The improvements will be carried out in four phases. The first phase, being completed with a $500,000 Neighborhood Revitalization Program grant, will include the playground area. Subsequent phases will be constructed as funding becomes available: · Phase two will include trails, lighting and landscaping. · Phase three will involve the park building, which will house park programs, a meeting room, offices and a child play area. · The fourth phase will involve construction of the soccer and softball fields, and tennis and volleyball courts. i ~ Bonestroo This park will include unique play features for young Rosene teens that provide them with a place to'congregate and ~ Anderlik& "hang out" while developing motor skills and en. ioying l~J~ Associates I F:ncjlneer$ & ~.rchitects Northeast Park Master Plan Minneapolis, MN I I I I I I I Urban Park Designed to be "Good NeighbOr" Northeast Park will undergo reorganization and revitalization to become a premier athletic facility for the City. Bonestroo was chosen to design new soccer, softball and baseball fields for this popular park. Spectator seating and lighting will enhance the environment, particularly for tournaments. Additional land is being purchased to alleviate the current cramped conditions and better accommodate this new design. The park is surrounded by homes, making it essential that improvements make the park a "good neighbor." Earth berms, fencing, additional trash receptacles and landscaping will help to minimize noise levels and keep the park clean and attractive to users and neighbors. Additional parking will be added to help alleviate street parking congestion. Small stormwater retention ponds will also be added as a practical yet attractive amenity. m /.....

Lake Hiawatha School Park Bonestroo, I~osene, Anderlik and Associates, /nc. Minneapolis, MN Our.~ob here was to design a Pre-/( and a totally handicapped-accessible K-5 age group playground -- the first of its kind by the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board. The existing Pre-K area at Hiawatha School was outdated; the splintering wood equipment no longer met code. The new park was built in a safe location further from a parking lot nestled among existing shade trees. New play equipment offers fun and challenges appropriate for the age group. Seating, a game table and pergola with glider bench complement the area. To be able to claim 100 percent accessibility, the K-5 play area needed to offer a range of play activities similar to children of varying abilities. A ramp and berm system constructed of a resilient rubberized play surface runs throughout the area's multiple play levels. At ground level, children can access swings, the track ride, and the ship {chosen for the park's proximity to the Mississippi River or other freestanding climbing features by moving across the engineered wood fiber mulch. Grade changes let kids pick different routes through the play structures while traveling over clatter bridges, through tunnels and down slides. The structure height varies from 12 inches to 7.5 feet. Significantly, many features intended for those with disabilities contribute to a safer and more user-friendly play structure. One unique feature is a "sensory walk" designed to stimulate the senses within a focused environment for those with mobility limitations. Walking across various sections of colored and printed concrete create different tactile experiences. Handrails alternate between smooth, chain and wire sections. Auditory stimuli include a gong, talking tubes and an interactive musical feature called tap-a-tune. Surrounding trees and plants offer aesthetic value, shade and a great fragrance. Seating placed throughout the sensory walk allows users to pause and.just enjoy the area. Public participation was a key part of this project's success. Our landscape architects began with neighborhood meetings to hear ideas and concepts for the new playground that were later incorporated into the design whenever possible. Park Master Plan E/gin, MN I I I l I ! I I I I I I ! I Preliminary Park Plan Guides City's Land Purchase A desire to hold state-sanctioned softball tournaments and a willingness to contribute "sweat equity" are bringing a new park facility to the popular summer recreational community of Elgin. When 65 acres of agricultural land were offered for sale just south of the City, the City Council formed a committee to examine the possibility of constructing a recreation and camping area on the parcel. Their park amenity wish list included construction of a pond or lake, three lighted softball fields suitable for state-sanctioned tournaments, basketball and volleyball courts, a picnic shelter, camping facilities, concession stand and restrooms. But before they bought the land, they needed to know if they could afford to build the park. Bonestroo's recreation team completed a preliminary concept plan that gave the Council the information it needed to make the decision to buy. The plan clearly spelled out the City's options, offered ideas for outside schematic layout designating where each desired amenity would fit. Following the land purchase, Bonestroo prepared a final concept plan and cost estimates, which the City is using to apply for grants. That plan includes soil borings, surveying, locating the area's 100-year flood elevation, and extensive hydraulic evaluations to determine the feasibility of constructing a pond. As an added benefit, the new park will actually help protect the trout habitat in the Whitewater River, which bisects the site. Changing the land use from agricultural to recreational will reduce farm fertilizer runoff, protecting the stream's water quality. ,& new 30-foot- wide vegetation buffer will line the stream's edge, naturally filtering runoff from the new ball fields and park. The growing vegetation will also provide shade that will help stabilize the river's water temperature and better support the trout. agency funding,, included the concept of local volunteer ~/lJ I labor in lieu of matching funds and provided a · draft ~ ~ I Engineers & Architects i I I I I I Hame/Park Design and Development Plan Medina, MN RoAD FITNESS 'TRAIL Community's Involvement Helps Define and Construct Neighborhood Park I'~ecognizing the area's lack of park and recreational facilities, the City of Medina acquired and proposed development of a 36-acre parcel of property on the east side of the community. Bonestroo created a Design and Development Plan for a neighborhood and community park that would provide several varied recreational facilities. Proposed improvements, developed in part through a community survey, include: · Four multi-use softball/baseball fields · Basketball/tennis court area · Ice skating areas · Playground with play structures · Sliding hill · Open play field · Parking lots · Concession/restroom building and meeting/ community building Drainage problems required that special attention be paid to the orientation of the park's features and the storm sewer layout. Two water detention ponds will treat runoff from the increased impervious surfaces. The majority of the work, including plans and specs, storm sewer, grading work, and construction of most of the amenities was completed with extensive help from volunteers. The warming house and tennis and basketball courts will be constructed in Phase 2. · Natural open and wooded areas with interpretive I area and a fitness trail ~/lJ · Picnic area ~u Ros~ne i Assodates Engineers & ,~r chitects Dorothy Mary Park Improvements New Hope, MN I I I I I I Neighbors Help Protect I?are Natural tTesource Dorothy Mary Park is a special resource for the City of New Hope and particularly for adjacent homeowners. Donated to the City, the park includes 6.5 acres of high-quality oak woodlands and wetlands, and features a beautiful display of woodland wildflowers in the spring. The park's ponds also provide habitat for ducks. Over the years, the quality of the park's natural resources and its structures, including stairs, trails and storm sewer infrastructure, have declined. The challenge was to preserve and enhance the park while adhering to the donor's stipulation that the park remain "natural." We worked with the City and park neighbors to create and implement a park master plan. Strategies were to: Bonestroo staff helped the City obtain a Conservation Partners Grant from the Department of Natural Resources to pay for the buckthorn removal and planting materials. The park now has a new dock, stairway, pond outlet and several boardwalks. Designed with natural materials, these amenities reflect the park's character and require minimal maintenance. Where terrain dictated, new structures were designed to protect trails, slopes and ponds from erosion. Park neighbors participated in several meetings to determine appropriate management goals and to choose design options for the plan. Neighbors also donated time for planting. The "new" park has received enthusiastic reviews from neighbors, City Staff and students from nearby Meadow Lake Elementary School who use the park for environmental education. · Improve stormwater management to enhance wetland ~'~ quality · Remove exotic species such as buckthorn in the oak I to protect its quality and to allow native woodland vegetation to bloom~ ~ Rosene · Establish a planting plan to be implemented by City Assoclate~ I Engineers & Architects Staff and volunteers Sports Center ~/est St. Paul, MN Severe Elevation Differences Posed Unique Design Challenges Elevation differences of up to 4,0 feet posed unique design challenges on this facility's 20-acre site. Working with the existing topography, designers used a terracing system to build football, soccer and baseball fields into the hillsides. This process minimized the effects of the severe existing topography and enabled the City's program to fit on the site. The park includes: · Horseshoe court pavilion sheltering 12 pitching courts · ~(/alking trails · Three fenced baseball fields · Two football/soccer fields · .Separate restroom/concession/storage building for each ballfield · Picnic and playground areas The park sports outdoor lighting for all baseball fields Rosene and perimeter fencing.

Severe changes in elevation throughout the park provided a design challenge for the four miles of paved walking/biking/cross country ski trails. Design plans also focused on modifications that incorporated and maintained the site's natural resources and abundant forest area. Special attention was also given to the installation of a sand blanket on the lake floor in the swimming area. This process used available stable soils to cover the beach and swimming area, cutting excavation costs and minimizing the disruption to aquatic life.

Designed as an echo of the original WPA bath house, the new structure incorporates the shape, colors and materials used in the 1930s version. Similarly, the shape of the park's new band shell mirror's the facility's original stone arch entryway. Because of the park's location along a designated scenic waterway, modifications had to follow Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources stringent guidelines that ensured the added park facilities blended with the native landscape. On this project, color schemes had to reflect hues found in nature, and care was taken to remove endangered aquatic life before putting in the sand beach. boating activities. Play areas for children are adjacent to the picnic area. For those looking for a more serene park experience, approximately two miles of decoratively lit trails wind along the river's edge.

I I I I I I I City of Green Bay, Splash pads similar to those above .,ill be open in Green Bay in the Summer of 2002. What started as a request from a neighborhood association to provide more of an identity to a City park developed into a project to provide splash pads for six parks located throughout the City. Splash pads {also referred to as aquatic playgrounds, splash grounds, zero-depth pools and spray parks) are water play areas where water sprays, squirts, mists or sheets from water features and then drains before it accumulates. Water activation can be automated with timers, motion sensors, or interactive activation. Approximately two years ago, a City Alderman and a neighborhood association began working with the City Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department to develop a splash pad. When other alderman and city residents learned of the proposed project they became excited and wanted splashpads n their neighborhoods, so the project eventually grew to six parks. Bonestroo was hired to design the splash pads, two of which are replacing existing pools. We worked with the City and residents to develop themes for each park, which are: · Seymour Park - "Town Square" · Fisk Park- "Diamond-Play" · Fort Howard Park- "International/Globe" · Eastman Park - "Flower & Fun" · Bay View Park - "Stepping Stones" · Farlin Park - "Star Fish" Once themes were established, final construction documents were developed. Each theme was further developed through: · The size and shape of each pad · The use of different dyed concrete sections · Selected water spray features Splash pads are relatively new to the aquatic scene. They offer the benefit of needing minimal supervision and can be much lower in capital and operating costs than a traditional swimming or wading pools. Other current facilities in Wisconsin are in Milwaukee and the Wisconsin Dells.

We believe in our mission statement "superior client service all of the time" and guarantee that this is the kind of service you will receive during the master planning process through construction of the improvements. Our goal is to meet your goals and to assist the City of Columbia Heights in developing a Master Plan for Huset Park. The master plan will improve the use of space, integrate the activities in the park so they compliment the activities that occur at Murzyn Hall, incorporate site design and layout, detail amenities, provide for stormwater improvements, identify land that could be acquired for the park, and identify phased projects that can be implemented strategically. Financial strategies to complete park improvements will be recommended. Other funding sources that we could pursue are with the Metropolitan Council, the Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCMR), the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LAWCON) and the DNR Outdoor Recreation Grant program. This proposal includes a cost to complete the Master Plan and the cost to complete a grant application to the MnDNR for a phase one improvement at Huset Park. The SEH Team looks forward to working with the City of Columbia Heights, and its citizens, master planning Huset Park. We look forward to hearing from you.

The project is the revitalization of an existing neighborhood park into a viable community park. SEH and the City approached the project with two primary objectives: 1. Improve water quality of the existing storm water pond to enhance the natural environment and provide a passive recreational amenity. 2. Reconfigure the park to meet community needs. Using simple yet effective public involvement techniques, SEH transformed community needs into an exciting park design. Landscape architects partnered with civil engineers and wetland ecologist to make an aesthetically pleasing and functional wetland. The pond improves water quality and provides important wildlife habitat. The reconfigured park meets community needs, creating a sense of vested ownership. The adjacent school's spatial requirements were integrated with those of the recreating public. A clear sense of entry with demarcated boundaries between activities creates a sense of place. By involving the public, understanding community concerns, comprehending the environmental regulations guiding engineering requirements, and by satisfying recreational demands, SEH and the City created a park that is the premiere attraction and community asset in East Bloomington.

The Woodcrest Park Wetland Mitigation Project was constructed as a wetland mitigation site for a previous project within the City of Mounds View. It provided more benefits than just the intended wetland mitigation. It offered rate control and water quality treatment for the incoming runoff, along with being an environmental addition to the neighborhood with a walking trail around the wetland. There are two smaller sedimentation ponds opposite corners of the site, collecting runoff before it discharges into the wetland. One pond was designed to hold five feet of water, while the other pond was designed to hold seven feet of water. The primary wetland is designed to hold approximately a foot of water. To construct a more natural wetland, a dozer was used to create small undulations in the wetland bottom. These waves were created to promote diversity in the vegetation, and are less than one foot in height and depth. Over 11,000 cubic yards of material was excavated from the site to create this 1.8 acre mitigation project.

Project Understanding and Approach PROJECT APPROACH TASKS ~-'qformation and data gathering L'RS 1. Project Understanding and Approach The City of Columbia Heights has requested consultant sen'ices for the preparation ora Master Plan Concept for Huset Park. As the largest and most wen known park in Columbia Heights. Huset Park is heavily used for both active and passive recreation. These activities range from quiet picnics, to organized sports activities, to annual events such as parades and carnivals. Park improvements over the years have been ininimal and done without a master plan for ,guidance. At present the park is in obvious need of redevelopment. Some use areas may need to be redefined. A comprehensive circulation system is needed to help provide a sense of order and sequence to the park's spaces and activities. Integrating the surrounding neighborhood into that system while respecting and defining park edges would enhance the neighborhood park experience. The need for a plan to improve access and parking is evident. Park amenities are in need of upgrading. This planning process and the ultimate design will provide the opportunity for Huset Park to become the park system model for civic identitT and high qualitT recreation experiences in Columbia Heights. The following objectives will guide our approach to this project: · Build upou the existing positive aspects of the park. · Anticipate and provide for future needs and demands (which may include property acquisition). · Enhance Huset Park's identity as well as the identity of the City of Columbia Heights. · Provide a plan that is sustainable and maintainable. · Ikespond to community characteristics and demographics. · Integrate Husct Park into the City's xvater management strategT. · Make the design process an enjoyable and meaningful one. We enjoy working with a broad spectrum of the public throughout the planning process, recognizing that the goals of City Staff and various segments of the public often differ widely. The alternatives xve develop will demonstrate that we have heard the ideas and concerns of interested parties, and xvill find comproimses in an effort to build support. UP.,S will facilitate a kick-off meeting xvith the Parks Department Staff, Conm~unity Center Staff, and Huset Park Neighborhood Group representatives. The purpose of this meeting xvill be to fanfiliarize URS xvith Huset Park Master Pla. City qf Columbia Hcights Project Understanding and Approach Contbmcd Preliminary Site Layout Public Information meeting Final Site Layout Plan Council Review URS the park and discuss the strategy for completing the project. At this meeting U1KS will acquire all base mapping, survey data, air photos, utilities, stonnwater data, and other pertinent back~ound infom~ation available from City Staff. URS v¢ill also facilitate discussions on the public perception of the park, and how it fits into its neighborhood, city, and park system context. Based on the infom~ation gathered in task one, a base map ~aphic will be prepared which illustrates all existing conditions, issues and coustraints. In addition to the "Issues and Constraints" diagram, U1KS will develop 2-3 alternative site layout plans. Rough cost estimates xvill also be prepared for the alternatives. A design workshop v¢ill then be held with interested members of the Park and Recreation Conmfission, the Parks Department and Conmmnity Center Staff, and the Huset Neighborhood Group. This workshop will claritk' the important issues and We eveo'one a chance to share his or her ideas. At the end of the workshop, a preferred alternative will be constructed. UP-,S will then update the 1996 Park Plan as necessary. A public open house would be held to solicit comments from interested citizens.

This 40-acre park, in the heart of the community also contains the City H~I, comnmnity center, police department, water ~vorks and high school. The northern portion of the park ~vas a )rmer city landfill site. Working ~vith the committee, the landscape architects crafted a master plan to balance the need for formal, active recreation 15tcilities with the demands fi)r passive recreation and natural habitat enhancements. Since thc plan was adopted by the City Council in 1998, a treatment ~vetland, six tennis courts, a parking area and two ne~v playgrounds have been constructed. Furore improvements include new baseball and soccer fields, a third playground, a multi-use trail system and extensive ornamental and natural lan&cape treatments. REDEVELOPMENT ~JRS 20003 McCullou§h Park Shoreview, Minnesota LIRS' team of planners and landscape architects prepared the preliminary and final design for the construction of McCullough Park, while UPaS engineers prepared final construction plans and specifications and performed field staking and construction inspection services. To obtain permits from numerous government agencies, UtkS developed ,'~'tans that reduced wetland impacts and provided on-site mitigation to offset wedand loss where it could not be avoided. Development of McCullough Park included t~vo irrigated 300-foot base- ball fields, an irrigated soccer field, a lighted hockey rink and warming house, t~vo tennis courts, a basketball court, a picnic shelter and construction of hiking trails throughout the park. Bucher Park Shoreview, Minnesota Bucher Park is one of Shoreview's oldest parks. It pre-dates the City's Park and tkecreation Department, which began in 1972.The east and south sides of this 15-acre park border on Kerry Lake, an artificial lake. UIkS completed the design for a complete reconstruction of Bucher Park. UI~S engineers prepared final construction plans and specifications ~nd provided field staking and ~onstruction inspection services. Development of Bucher Park included two irrigated softball fields, two tennis courts, a basketball court, a lighted hockey rink, walking paths, picnic grounds and shelters, playground equipment, a general skating area, and a volleyball court area. COUNTY ROAD J KERRYLAKE Shoreview Commons Park Shoreview, Minnesota Shoreview planners wanted this forty- acre park to serve as a major recreational area for the city as well as provide residents with a sense of community. UKS landscape architects and planners prepared the preliminary and final design for Shoreview Commons Park. UI~S engineers then provided final construction plans, field staking and construction inspection services. )evelopment of the park included three irrigated b~l fields, t~vo tennis courts, a basketball court, soccer field, and volleyball court. The improvements also included a major storm water detention pond and bituminous trails throughout the active area of the park. ~dRS 19610(2038) Centennial Lakes Central Park City of Edina, Minnesota Centennial Lakes Central Park was developed by the Housing and P~edevelopment Authority of the City of Edina as part of the 90-acre Centennial Lakes Master Plan Community. UP,.S was hired to provide pond and park design for the central third parcel of this development in relation to the overall park development standards and for regional stormwater ~ :anagement. Adjacent uses to the park include three story condominiums, two level mixed retail, and aesthetically appealing four lane divided city streets. UI),.S task was to integrate a future path for a rubber tire tram, create ponding for stormwater storage, provide an area for winter skating, design a multi-use summer events/warming house building, an outdoor stage event area, integrate activities for park users, create memorable elements and spaces in relation to its adjacent uses, and provide connections in and out of the park. ~UR$ 2023~ Centennial Lakes Central Park City of Edina, Minnesota Many elements of the park make this bustling park attractive. The primary focus for this central parcel was to create different and unique recreation activities. The primary use involves the implementation of an amphitheater that accommodates about 2,500 listeners. Other unique activities ,,._.include a natural turf putting golf course, croquet, lawn bowling, paddleboats, and model sailboat racing. The Park Centrum building not only houses park staff, but is also used as rental event space during the summer and is a log fire warming house during the winter. The pond is mechanically maintained to provide a smooth surface covering the entire pond. Park users will find water fountains at the plaza in front of the Park Centrum as they enter this attractive park. With the use of decorative pavement, ornamental lighting, outdoor musical speakers, a variety of seating, and lush landscaping, the other portions of ~ Central Park creates special spaces that pedestrians find as they stroll through the park. Heritage Trail Dubuque, Iowa Ul~S prepared a master plan, prelim- inary and final designs, landscape architecture and signage plans and cost estimates for Heritage Trail, a lO-mile bicycle trail across Dubuque and along the Mississippi Pdverfront. W'mding through historic neighborhoods and the central business district, the trail is on-street with striped lanes and pathfinder signs. Off-road segments ,~'~rovide splendid views of the Mississippi l~iver as it follo~vs the top of the levee, which ~vill be widened to accommodate bicyclists,joggers, and walkers. Spurs lead to the marina, parks, the lock and dam, and Greyhound Island. UPaS also prepared a detailed alter- natives analysis, design criteria for the trail and signs, and illustrations of several trail segments. Downtown Muq)h~ P,rk i,~ odSpdn CURS 1~22(10G4) IUinois Humboldt Greenway Minneapolis, Minnesota Hennepin Community Works, a multi-agency group, commissioned UI/.S to undertake the Humboldt Greenway. The project is a compo- nent of Community Work's mission to revitalize city neighborhoods through a combination of open- space investment, public in£rastruc- ture improvements, and housing replacement. The project's specific goal was to reverse declining property values in the Camden area of north Minneapolis. The ~--Iumboldt Greenway Plan identified ,e following key elements: Revitalization Project ~JRS 9723{2083) · housing redevelopment and replacement opportunities adjacent to the Greenway for a variety of new housing types that neighborhoods desire. The final design was created within the context of a series of large and small group neighborhood meetings, culminating in two commu- niry-Mde open houses to review and comment on alternative pre- lirninary and final plans. · a parkway-styled roadway for the length of Humboldt Avenue, similar in character to the City's reno~vned Grand P. ounds parkway system; extending that system and integrating the road with adjacent parks and open space; · lateral roadway, bikeway, and ~valkway connections linking the Greenway to community schools and parks, and future regional open space along the Mississippi [Liver; · the creation of a 'central green' space bringing parklands and creek views closer to housing redevelopment sites; · improvements to Shingle Creek, enhancing its aesthetic features and xvater quality through increased meandering, created wetlands, pooling, and riffles; and Chain of Lakes Master Pla n Minneapolis, Minnesota The Chain of Lakes is an historic, 1,016-acre regional park system that includes five lakes, a 25-mile parkway, bicycle and pedestrian paths, formal gardens, wildlife sanctuaries, picnic areas, beaches, boating and landscaped open space. The Chain of Lakes is of vital importance to the city and serves as the major focal point for a number of residential neighborhoods. URS landscape architects, planners and ."'"'agineers worked with Michael Van Valken- ourgh in the creation of a new master plan for the renovation of this regional park system. The design involved parkway route alternatives, traffic calming techniques, recreation planning, environmental design, and renovation of plazas and pedestrian/ bicycle paths. URS prepared design alternatives and presentation graphics and facilitated the public participation program, which ultimately arrived at an approved master plan. Vegetative filters Lake Harriet and Lake Minneapolis, Minnesota Lake Harriet and Lake Calhoun are the two largest lakes within the historic Minneapolis Chain of Lakes park system. The lakes and their surrounding park- ways are of vital importance to the city and serve as focal points for the adjacent residential neighborhoods. URS assembled a team of landscape architects, biologists, surveyors and engineers to develop and implement ~"%e improvements identified in the Chain of Lakes Master Planning study. This ~vork included creating ne~v subsurface and surface stormwater treatment, conducting shoreline stabilization improvements, reconstructing and enlarging pedestrian and bicycle trails, creating ne~v boat launches, expanding the bandstand and refectory plazas and seating areas, renovating several historic restroom structures, and re-establishing native plant communities. Calhoun Improvements ¢~JRS 19706(2060) Parks and Recreation UlkS has provided recreational master planning and site planning services to a variety of public- and private-sector clients for more than 25 years. Through this experience, we have come to realize that each project and each client is truly unique, with its own specific interests. A successful recreational project brings together these diverse interests to arrive at solutions that serve many, while imposing minimal impact to the surrounding neighborhoods. Recreational planning and design require an understanding of the interaction between people and their environment. Because of this, URS works closely with users of the recreational environment and those potentially impacted by the location and use of the recreational facilities throughout the design process. URS' approach to the planning of recreational resources involves a unique perspective; we look beyond the the needs of the present, creating a framework to guide future development. URS' interdisciplinary approach ensures that these needs are met with creative, cost-effective solutions. URS ~naintains a staff of highly qualified and experienced planners, designers, and environmentalists to address 'all types of recreational issues.

A chain of recreational spaces linked by a pathway system encircles the xvater feature, xvhile the lakes host activities such as paddle boating, canoeing and ice skating. The lakes are designed to regulate the /'"w of storm water.

The resulting plan will then be based on analysis that is readily understood; decisions will be acceptable to a wide range of interests; and the final outcome will be practical and able to be implemented. RANGE OF CLIENTS: Although nearly every project involves participation and consensus building, certain planning or design situations have brought out the best in our skills: major transportation projects, sensitive natural resources (especially water or wetlands), downtown, central city neighborhoods, and urban fringe counties. ~URS 4000 TECVIN~QU~S: UI:kS project managers seek to generate new alternatives that satisfy apparently divergent interests and offer "win-win" solutions. Through our broad experience, we have learned how to use a variety of methods to facilitate involvement and agreement, and we can tailor a program for each client's needs. 5. Fees PROJECT BUDGET 5.
