Thursday, March 12, 2015 Heritage Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes MEMORANDUM TO: H Preservation Commission FROM: DuWayne Konewko, Maplewood Parks and Recreation Director Jim Taylor, Maplewood Parks Manager DATE: March 31, 2015 SUBJECT: Maplewood Parks System Master Plan Introduction Maplewood City Staff spent the last two years working with residents, businesses, City Council, Parks System Plan Task Force, Parks and Recreation Commission, and our consultants to create a Parks System Master Plan that reflects the input of our residents and business community. The plan will set forth a vision for the next twenty years by providing recommendations, strategies, and tools to assist the City, its stakeholders, and many partners to ensure that Maplewood’s Parks System is at top-quality well into the future. Background The creation of this planbegan in February of 2013 andtook two years to complete. Phase I of the process included a thoroughengagement of Maplewoodresidents, businesses, and parks and recreation users to obtain all inputthat could influence the plan. Upon completion of Phase I, City Council adopted these findings in January of 2014. In March of 2014, City Council authorized staff to begin Phase II and enter into a contract with Hoisington Koegler Group for the completion of the Maplewood Parks System Master Plan. This phaseincludedthe findings from Phase Iand usingbenchmarking datato conduct a system wide evaluation to compare Maplewood’s current parks system against standards from the National Parks and Recreation Association and best practices from other communities. In 2014, staff identified one of their goals as becoming a CAPRA (Commission for Accreditation of Parks and Recreation Agencies) accredited agency. This goal has also been identified within the plan and will be a tool we can use to help achieve this accreditation. The main overarchinggoal of the planning processwas to educate and raise awareness about the importance of parks and recreation in Maplewood and to ensure that future investment in the system meetsthe needs of the community. Staff feels this was accomplished through the extensive community process. The creation of this plan has been aninterdepartmental effort with staff from the City. Representatives from all departments have worked with the planning team throughout the process. The expertise that each of them brought was instrumental in the creation of this plan. In Januaryof 2015,the Parksand RecreationCommission and the City Council both adopted the Parks System Master Plan.To find additional information on the process and a copy of the full plan visitour website at www.ci.maplewood.mn.us/parks.

Trails bring the park system closer to every resident, offer transportation alternatives, and support a healthy, active population. The Master Plan recommends continuing to develop a priority network of north- south and east-west connections throughout the community as well as enhancing connections beyond Maplewood. Priority projects will make the existing system more functional by completing missing segments. The Nature Center, Natural Areas, and Greenways Maplewood residents place a high value on environmental health. The Parks and Recreation and Public Works Departments will continue to exemplify environmental leadership through education, demonstration, design, maintenance and operations in parks and preserves. The city’s 15 preserves will continue to be the foundation of the protected open space network. These areas will be the focus of habitat restoration and natural resource management efforts while allowing for some passive recreation. The Nature Center will continue to be the community hub for environmental stewardship and nature-based programming. 6 Executive Summary E 2 P P C FIGURE E ROPOSEDRESERVELASSIFICATIONS §¦¨35E §¨ ¦ 694 Prairie Farm Sunset Joy Preserve Legacy Ridge Preserve Park Park Playcrest Park Joy Park Maplewood §¨ ¦ Heights Park 694 Silver Kohlman Creek Hidden Marsh Preserve Lake UV Preserve Hazelwood Park 61 Gervais Fisher's Corner Lake Preserve COUNTY ROAD C Kohlman Park Spoon Lake Harvest Park Four Preserve Seasons UV Park 36 UV Keller Sherwood 36 Regional Park Park Timber Park Maplecrest City Hall Park Campus & Trout Brook Community Robinhood Park Preserve Edgerton ParkCenter Flicek Park Roselawn Park FROST AVE Veteran's Gladstone Savanna Hillside Memorial Kenwood Gloster Park Western Park Park Park Phalen Lookout Hills Park Wakefield Regional Park Park Park LARPENTEUR AVE E Priory Preserve Community and Neighborhood Preserves §¨ ¦ Nebraska Park Jims Prairie 694 Lake Sterling Oaks Park Preserve § ¨¦ Phalen 35E The Master Plan differentiates between Community Preserves and Neighborhood Preserves.

Programs Recreation is an essential component of a healthy, vital community. Recreation programs are pursued for enjoyment, health, skill development, enrichment, socialization, entertainment, physical recreation and demographic trends mean programs need to constantly evolve. It is an exciting time for programs in Maplewood.

Stones and Bones May 22, 2015 White Bear Lake, MN $30 Many history organizations and others are entrusted with archaeological artifacts. Human use of places we currently call home extends back 13,000 years or so, and those who used the land over that time have left lots of evidence. This year’s Spring Workshops focus on how you can use archaeology to tell stories over a much longer period of record, use collections appropriately, and review responsibilities under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) that includes, but is not exclusive to, archaeology. As always, you will have the opportunity to renew contact with your colleagues and learn some useful tips and tricks.

The city is beginning to prepare the 2016-2020 Plan. Background Each year the city prepares a CIP plan for the upcoming five yearperiod. The CIP is restricted tomajor equipment purchasesand construction projects, typically over $50,000. Departmentssubmit their requests to the City Manager and Finance Director, who develop theCIP proposal with the city’s management team. The proposal will be reviewed by commissions this summer and then be submittedto city council.The current CIP plan is available at http://mn-maplewood.civicplus.com/index.aspx?NID=103. In 2014, staff submitted a CIP request that included historic preservation planning, archeological investigation at Fish Creek, and historic interpretation for Gladstone Savanna. This was ultimately cut from the proposal.TheHPC discussed that a better approach would be,whenapplicable,to include preservation activities with park improvement projects, rather than as stand-alone historic preservation projects. Staffrecommends we use this approach and submitthe following requests for the 2016- 2020 CIP: 1.Gladstone Savanna Interpretation of Historic Resources (on the Gladstone Savanna Improvementspage) 2.Archeological Investigation and Interpretationat Fish Creek(on the Fish Creek Improvements page) Recommendation Request CIP funding for Gladstone Savanna Interpretation of Historic Resources and Archeological Investigation and interpretation at Fish Creek. 2015 HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION GOALS Approved March 12, 2015 GoalProcess 1.Develop brochure and procedures for Local Designation Staff prepares.
