This memorandum provides information on dog parks and options for the Council to consider in reviewing the proposal from the Woof Park group. . . . The concept of establishing a dog park has been discussed in the past by the Parks Commission and other groups in Cottage Grove. The Commission determined that there were no suitable sites in City parks for such a facility and that the Cottage Grove Ravine Regional Park was the most appropriate location within the city. In 2007 the issue surfaced during the update of the Master Plan for the Regional Park. At that time the Woof Park group proposed that a dog park be included in plans for the park. In the park master plan, the County concluded: "that it was not the most appropriate agency to administer this type of facility' because re- gional parks are resource-based with emphasis on nature-based activities and that dogs are currently allowed on-leash in the park which allows dog owners to exercise their pets. In the park master plan, the County further concluded that it may allow the City to operate an off- leash pet area within the park if: 1) Additional land on the southern edge of the park is acquired; and. 2) All other reasonable options for locating this type of facility on City property have been exhausted. In such an arrangement, the county proposed that the City would be responsible for developing, operating, maintaining, and policing the dog park. It should be noted that dog parks are currentiy operated by other all other county park districts in the metropolitan area, including the Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Ramsey, Scott, and Three Rivers (Suburban Hennepin) Park Districts. Several area cities also operate dog parks. A list of existing dog parks in the metropolitan area is attached. Mayor and Members of the City Council and Ryan Schroeder Response to Open Forum — Dog Park February 12, 2008 Page 2 of 3 In May 2007 the City Council adopted comments to the County on the master plan. Among the comments, the City stated that a dog park at Cottage Grove Regional Park would be consistent with the types of facilities found in regiorral parks. Discussion Issues to be addressed with a dog park include its location, maintenance responsibilities, and development and operating costs. To avoid disturbing neighboring property owners with traffic and noise, dog parks are usually located in large parks or in rural areas. A location within Ravine Park meets this requirement. Washington County recently purchased a 17-acre parcel for park expansion located on the east side of the park adjacent to Kimbro Avenue. Either this site or property on the south side of the park proposed by the County for park expansion would be suit- able for a dog park. The City's Public Works staff have concerns regarding maintenance of a dog park, particularly the removal of dog waste. Any dog park proposal would have to address this issue in a manner that doesn't piace additional burden on city maintenance staff. A variety of funding sources have been used for other dog parks in the region. Some have used direct funding from the county or city which operates the dog park. Others have utilized fund- raising from groups advocating for dog parks. In their presentation, the Woof Park representa- tives stated that their group would fund development costs and that a written agreement could be developed to assign funding responsibilities. Staff spoke with park personnel in agencies that operate dog parks and learned the following: • Dog parks are viewed as an amenity feature in the communities in which they are located. . Although dog parks have been established on sites of one acre or less, larger sites are preferable. Larger parks allow dogs to spread out, which minimizes wear on turf and other areas. The most popular parks have trails for off-leash walks. . Dog park development costs are typically low. Construction usually is limited to a fenced dog run area and a parking lot. Some have been developed for less than $10,000. • Use permits are required in most dog parks. Oakota County charges $40 for an annual permit and $5 for a daily permit. Compliance with required permits is high. Dakota County is able to cover its direct operating expenses for the dog park through permit fees. . Many dog parks were initiated by groups such as the South Washington County Woof Park organization. In some cases these groups raised money for park development. Such groups contribute to a park's success through self enforcement of dog park rules. . Most park users pick up after their dogs. Bags are typically provided for dog waste and pressure from other dog owners is enough to keep the parks clean. Burnsville parks maintenance staff reported that their role in clean up is limited to emptying trash cans. Mayor and Members of the City Council and Ryan Schroeder Response to Open Forum — Dog Park February 12, 2008 Page 3 of 3 Options for Response In response to the presentation by the Woof Park representatives, the Council may take one of the foliowing steps: 1) Reiterate to Washington County that a dog park be included in plans for Cottage Grove Ravine Regional Park and that the County should operate the facility. 2) Begin discussions with the County and the South Washington Woof Park group about a jointly operated facility in the Regional Park. 3) Other steps as the City Council may direct. Recreation is defined as an activity enga�ed in fox retaxatfon and amusemenc. In our pro- fession we embrace the opportuniry ko pza vide people with pcograms and the groper facitities in i��hich to recreate. Over the ycars, the Pac[lities wa have pzovided inctude the traditional neighborhood play�ronnds, hockey rinks, softball and basebatt fields, soocer fields, tennis courts, Uasketbalt courts, hiking and mpantaln blke treils and much, much mare. Now, you ca:� add off- teash areas or "dog parks" to t6at list. Whether it is a purebzed show dog oz a love- able mutt, alE dogs necd food water, shclter, atteution, and a ceriain amount of play az�d exercise. The respoasible dag owners will often choose to combine their cecreation needs with their dogs' exercise needs. For some dog o��ners, they choose to ran, in- line skate or even ride a blke to axescise tl�emsetves and their dogs. However, many dog ownes�s choose to visit open spaces to exercise aad socislize with iheir dogs, and they aften da Shis "ofk'-leash" This "off- teash" recreation was not a prablem until ikse 198�s when mary ]ocal goven�ments began to enact "ieash laws:' According co Nfairy Bat2iata of the Washington Post, they did so with no intencion of str9ec enforec- ment. However, in the f990s, che competi- tion for open spaces increased and wuh that increase in use demands so came the social demand fox enforcement o£ the established leash taws. OF course, cnforcemeat does not deter most responslbMe dog ovmers hecause their inter- est in recreating with their dog is mor.. important to them t'lian cheir legal scanding. Thus, ihe increased enforcemem of the (eash law simply ereated a gaatte ot' de facto do� park hide and see[�. This game of cat and mouse between authorities and dog awnars connnues today in many parts of the counri�y but in some places, dog owners and corrunu- nilies are�oinmg tagethcr to create solutions. Dog owners are working wiEh municipalities to buzld their own "ptay ficlds" that aren't for softbal! bats or tennis rackets but iustead for Ftdos. As a resuli, dog parks have slowly but surety popped up all over the cauntry es communities seaxch for ways to allow dog owners co recreate legally. In Z001, the Ciry oFBurnsvilte made a com- mitment to provide a faciliry for dog ownets to recreate. Afrer a carefu! sfudy of exisUng open space and an invftation to the residente to get involved, the recreatio� depariment ted the effu�te to build a dog pazk in $umsviile. Wi�h a budget of only $5,660, staff organized a volunteer group to plan and build the seven-acre fadlity 'vn Alimagnet Park. After several meetings and two volun- teex work weekends, the group managed to fence off a�ad sign BurnsviIle's newest park foc just o��er �2,000. The park opened for recreat4onal use on 7uty 28, 2061. With iheir missioa accomptished, the oiigi- nal volunteer group that came together to build the park quioldy disbandad. However, within months, a new group of paxk advo- cates formed to L�elp staff administez the park. This group would Iater 6ecome known as Paople of Alimagnat Caring for K-9s or PACR. What has hap�ened since then can be described as nothrng short of arnazing. When you get people [ogether who have a passion for samething �reat things often MtrINEAP P[tkf171GN P49 Pt�"2 follow. That certainly deiines the voluaztecrs of PACK who are passionate about t,he pazk. This group started slowiy like most groups do trying to figure out their role and theis goats. Tiowever, after just five short yeazs, Ehear cooperatfon with the City of Bumsville has pxoduced a nixmber of awaed-win- ning resutfs. The group started by hosting a vaziety of educational pro- grams for park usexs ineludiflg an annuai skijoring demon- stration, dog txainiag workshops, potice dog and sheep herding demonstrations, lectures by animal behaviorists and authors of books about dogs, dog-friendly Iandscape programs, a Web site for the park (atimagnetdogpark.org) 2itd IDOiC. These pmgrarns not onty edixcatad the public but they also provided PACK witlx a fund-raising source to make park 9mpcovements. Through collaboxazive efforts with the c3ty, PACK has received donations for or helped to fund a wooH- chipped traii around the park, a water source to wash dogs, cans and bags for disposal of waste, an outdoor shelter, an erosion-coatroi area and several aiher park impzovements. And this was onIy the beginning. These programs, improve- ments and collaborative efforts of volunteers and a ciry caught Yhe attention of at Ieast ona dog park enthuslast in Minnesota. This person nominated Alimap;net Dog Park For the Dog Fancy l�fagazina rop dog pazk in the country. Staff and park users wexe pleasantly surpzised to tearu of this nom- ination and also to hear that Alimagnet had advaaced to the final rounds of the contest. More good news followed when eontesC directors notified city staff that Alimagn.et was selected as tRe number three dog paxk in the country. The selecdon brought with it a check for $10,000 courtesy of Nmartis and Dog Fancy Magazine. The PACK board and city staff identiFied a new fence as its top park nnprovement priority and by late 7une of 2005 tFAe pazk got a top-quatity fence. IIuf there was stii] more. The n¢w press eaught the anention of an anonymous donor who contaeted staffabaut adding Iights to the facility. While it mas always a dream of the PACK board to add lights some day, the $60,000 price tag mada the prajeat cost prohibitive. The anonymous donor requested that staff write a grant pro- posai for lights at Alimagnet Dog Fark and by Thanksgiving of 2005, contractozs wexe digging hotes and nenches for the lighting project. Alimagnet Dog Park has evolved into a wondcrFul addicion to the City of Burnsvilie park system. However, the park is more than just a facility. Alimagnet Dog Park is a communi- ty af people who can now gather legally to socialize and recreate with other peopie who enjoy dogs at the same time their dogs socialize and recreate. 50, thanks to ihe efforts of a Iot of peopte, Sumsville has facilities like softball and baseball fletds for ba2! piayers, hockey rinks for hockey play- ers, playground equipmenc for youth aezd families, and an award-winaing off-leash area for dog lovers who wish to relax snd amuse fnemseives with other dog owners.

What parks are quickly bewming some of the most widely used in many iecrea[ion districcs? Playgrounds> Water parks? Skate parks? Although these other parks are popular, if you guessed dog parks you'd be zighc on the baxk ... mark. °`{The dog park] is very popular, I know that," explazns jeff Morton, park planner with Rochester Park and Recfeazion. "Ix's one of our more hcavily used packs." However, despice thelr popularity, these parks don't become immediace successes. Dog park design cakes careful ptanning by park depactments co meet the n¢eds of boch ehe dogs and own- ere in theic communities. Accoxding eo Greg Ingraham, vioe president of the Hoisington 1Coeg[er Groap Ine., the fitst step eo designing a snccessfn! park is to listeix to communiry members. "Typically [dog parks] geC scarted in� response to citiaen demand," Ingraham says. The next sTep ls to research avallable land and the potencial martcec Eor a new paxk. This is foilowed by one of the most ]mporeant and challenging steps — meeting with cornmunity membecs and park neighboxs. "Aftex you get some sort o# grasp on the need and potantzal [for a gark], then bring it up to the communiry," Tngraham explains, also waxning thae some resistance to the idea is tike- fy. "Most people are foz a dog park until you bxing up the loca- tion of the.park." Cindy Walsh, direccoc of the Packs and Recxeation Department for Sc. Louis Parlc, agrees, "[A dog park] is a highly emotionat topic." Wafsh adds there aLe usnafly ewo deEaned sides co ehe issue, "Thece's no one in the middle." $x. Louis Park worked to make this step as easy and Eair as pos- sible thzough a task force of commixnity members cepcesenting 6och sides of the issue. The task force bronght ideas and soIu- tions to both the dog park neighbors and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission and was abla to plan the bese pack foz all the cicy's cesidents. Fngraham believes ehis pxocess is important to changing the neg- adve perceptioas some communSiy membecs have about dog packs, "T th3nk the biggest problam is perception," Sngxaham 6Y0 PdRN says. "One of the key pxocesses ls educadon, and co get people there who have never been co a dog pazk." Along with educaking the communiry, it is also imporeanx to consider the besx Featuces to inctude in the paxk and how it will 6e maintauaed. Morton said he cesearched many parks th[ough the Internet and site visits to detecmine what was best for their comm°-''-- This included land wich a variety of wooded and open ; two fenced areas to altow for the sepacation of dogs, and a ble-gated entry so owners can leash their dogs before enxei dia parking loe. In St. Lauis Park's dog park, the zask foxce creaxed an additionat important feacure. "We've cealiy made chis a user-maintained paxk," Wa1sh explazns. 12ick Beane, paxk superintendent wixh St. Louis Park, £uether e�cplains this feature, "Our maintenance staff do:s minimal, if any, clean-up on-site." The park users supply cheir own recycled grocery bags Eor wasce dispos- al and are responsible for policing themselves on-sire. Whan it comes to che featurc of size, this varies greacly arnong dog parks. "There ceally isn't any ideal," Ingrahan says. However, he adds "ehe bigger the better." He has sean parks rangSng fxom an acre-and-a-half up large as five co seven acres. However, che smaflPr oark� n� expezzence more wear. "Smaller (parks� are less desicable because you c of dogs in a smail area," Ingraham says. "In sm are going to get a lot of comprornise of the turi Ingraham suggests that along witfi adequate pa is important ta #actor in space for sufficient pa "Most people don't anticipace how popular [ parks] wiI1 be," Ingraham says, stating man. facflities have to expand their parking loc to meet user demand. Bat cegardless of the Eeamres included in a community dog park, it is almost cer- tain ic wil( be populac from boch a dog and owner perspecxive. "[Aog parks] are as much people places as they are dog places," Ingraham says. Beane agrees, stating that they are popular fo� a ety oF reasons. `Bverybody who brings the'sr da park] does it fox differene reasons." Ingraham adds dog parks are always iiz use whe the morning or 20 bebw zero. "It seems like th xhere all che time,° ingraham says. "[Ps ama. people bring their dogs co these parks." hUIIXESNA PE(RfAIYJN AN�PARC Si'�'UATI�N Comn'iunity members cequesting development of off-leashed dog park in Ramsey CnanTy pazk system. APPR6ACk Ramsey Counry Parks and Ftecxeation staff eeviewed Uo�h locai and national casponse to citizen requests for off-leash arcas. On January ! l, 199', �he Parks and Recreatimr Commission endorsed a staff proposal to estabtish two off-leash arcas for a pilat program begin- ning June 27, 1997, and running ttu�ough Decembec 31, ? 998. H�W SdTUAT[OM WAS NIANAGED Resufts of the pilot program found that the provSsion of off-leash dog exercise azeas are a tegitimate recreacional program tl�at can be accommodatad at carefiztty selected sites wikhin the eounty park sys- tem. An administrative polioy was writren that defines the number a�xd gtnsral geographical locat�on of the site(s) to be devetoped in the Ramsey County park system; identifies the characteristics, amenities and operation of Ramsey County's off-leash azeas; dis- cusses accesslbiliYy goals; attd estabtishes a procees for reviewing, evatuating and setecting sites. OUTCa3ivTE The review team examined six sites to determine how each site would meet tbe cciteria establishcd ui thz adminis+sative policy Four sites were chosen to move forward Sor devetopment. Priority and timelines were identified. The off-leash arcas were localed at Rice Creelc Re�;ional Trai1 Corridoz in SUoreview and che Lower Afton area of Battie Creek Re�ional Park in Maplewood. The areas were not associaked wleh estabtished recreation arczs, one of the criteria in site selectron. The Rice Creek sike was approximatety five acxes; Battle Creek �vas approximately four acres.

Support facilities include parking, drinking watex (potable), rest- xoom faciliiies, Trash receptades and picnic tables(benc0es. Priority will be given to sites that can accommodate access for individuals with disabiliries. At least one site wiYhin the system wi119nclude an aceessible traif from the pazking lot to the interi- or of the site. At other sites where access is Iimited, the county wIll work with users to improve accessibility. The Yollowing use policies will app}y: • Dogs must be properly licensed and vaccinated. • Dogs must be teashed prior to entering and upon leaving the off-leash area and in bansition coizidors. • Owners must be in verbat control of iheir dogs at all t'vnes and pxevent aggressive behavior, biting, fip�ting or excessive bazking. • Owners aze klable fox damage or injury in#tacted by iheir dogs. ° 6wners must have a visible teash at ait tirnes. • Oumers must ciean-up and daspose of fecas. • Doge in heat aza not allowed. • Owneis must comply with at1 other pazk rules and regulations. • Faes will not be cf:arged for the use of the off-leash areas.

Even though we do not have an accurate count on acwal attendance, in the fa(1 of 2005, the pzrks and xecreaGon depart- ment condnoted a survey of the off-leashed users at all four dog park sites.
