To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Zac Dockter, Parks and Recreation Director
CC: Ryan Schroeder, City Administrator
Date: July 11, 2012
Subject: Parks and Recreation Referendum
Introduction
In April of 2012, the City Council directed staff to provide additional research on the following projects
currently being considered for funding through a referendum request during the November general
election:
1. Hamlet Park Expansion /Renovation
2. Thompson Grove Pool Building Renovation
3. Outdoor Family Aquatic Center
4. Land Acquisition for Future Sports Complex
Background
Since that directive, staff has been working to produce sufficient data that will give the City Council and
Parks Commission the ability to make a sound decision in regards to proceeding towards a ballot
question. That data will be derived from the following sources:
1. Hamlet Park Feasibility Study
2. Thompson Grove Pool Building Concept Design and Cost Estimate
3. Parks and Recreation Referendum Community Survey
At this time staff has received and is submitting to council the Hamlet Park Feasibility Study and
Thompson Grove Pool Building Concept Design and Estimate. The Community Survey is currently in
process and staff is awaiting those results. We expect to bring preliminary results to the July 18 council
meeting for review.
Recommendation
Review research material and give staff any further direction necessary prior to August 8 th workshop
with Parks Commission. The City Council and the Commission should be prepared to give final
direction to staff regarding the referendum at the August 8 th joint workshop. Written intent of the ballot
question must be submitted to the county prior to August 24 to be considered for November's general
election.

HAMLET PARK IMPROVEMENTS
INTRODUCTION
The City of Cottage Grove is considering improvements to its largest community park, Hamlet Park.
Constructed in the 1970's, Hamlet Park is generally bounded by Highway 61, the Thompson Grove
neighborhood, 95 Street, and the CP Rail Expansion project. The park location within the City is shown
on Figure 1. The park currently has the following recreational amenities throughout the nearly 150 acres:
• 5 baseball fields
• 2 football / soccer fields
• 2 tennis courts
• 2 basketball courts
• 2 sand volleyball courts
• Skate park
• Outdoor hockey rink
• Playground
• Picnic shelter
• Recreational building
• Storage building
• 3.5 miles of trails
• Open space and woods
In addition to the recreational amenities noted above, the park is home to the Hamlet Park regional pond
system (Pond TG -P4) which flows through the park from approximately 80 Street to 95 Street.
The City Council authorized the preparation of this Report on April 18`", 2012 to determine the feasibility
and cost estimate of the proposed park improvements. Improvements to the park would be considered as
part of a referendum in 2012. Proposed improvements are categorized into three areas, as depicted on
Figure 2:
• Hamlet Park Expansion
• Enhancement of Current Active Park Areas
• Redevelopment of the Hamlet Park North Pond
This report will include a discussion of the proposed improvements, estimated costs of said
improvements, and a method of cost allocation to determine project feasibility.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
HAMLET PARK EXPANSION
The southern 35 acres of the park are currently undeveloped. The park contains a storm water flume,
storm water pond, bituminous trails, and open space. During construction of the pond in 2008, bedrock
was encountered and was crushed onsite to create a useable gravel base material. At the same time, four
baseball fields, three parking lots, and an access road were rough graded. The gravel base material from
the crushing operation was placed on the access road and two of the three parking lots. Since that time,
the City has placed a one -foot thick layer of fine aggregate material over the four baseball fields. Above
the layer of fine aggregate material, the City has spread topsoil generated from other projects throughout
the City on about two - thirds of the fields. In addition, the City has placed numerous stockpiles throughout
the proposed baseball field area. These stockpiles consist of the following approximate quantities:
• 3 piles of 7,000 CY, 1,500 CY, and 500 CY of topsoil
• 1 pile of 2,000 CY of fine aggregates
• 2 piles 400 CY and 125 CY of general fill with rocks
• 1 pile of 100 CY of general fill
• 1 pile of 600 CY of bituminous / gravel reclaiming
City of Cottage Grove, Minnesota

HAMLET PARK IMPROVEMENTS
Public utilities to serve this area of the park were extended to the park edge as part of the CP Rail
Expansion — Hemingway Avenue Improvements Project. Water main was extended to the eastern park
edge along 91 St Street. Sanitary sewer was extended to the eastern park edge along the north lot line of
Outlot E, south of 91S Street. 91S Street currently terminates with a hammer -head turnaround at the
eastern park edge as well.
ENHANCEMENT OF CURRENT ACTIVE PARK AREAS
Along with the expansion of Hamlet Park, the City is considering improvements to the current active park
areas. Vehicle access to the current active park area exists from 89 Street to an existing bituminous
parking lot. The parking lot was expanded in 2003 by adding 31 stalls, and bringing the total to 171 stalls.
The current active park areas include multiple athletic fields and courts, a playground, recreational and
storage buildings, a shelter, a parking lot, trails, open space, ponds, and woods. A 9 -inch sanitary sewer
and 6 -inch water main was extended from 89 Street and currently serves the shelter and restrooms
located near the existing parking lot. A hydrant is also located near the existing hockey rink to provide
water for flooding the rink during the winter.
REDEVELOPMENT OF THE HAMLET PARK NORTH POND
With the redevelopment of the Cottage Square Mall area and subsequent construction of the Norris
Square senior living center, it created a need for the redevelopment of the north pond area. This area of
the park is located at the northern end where West Point Douglas Road, Hadley Avenue, Grange
Boulevard, and 80 Street converge. The park area currently includes a bituminous trail loop around the
north pond and open space. As Hamlet Pond has been re- graded and expanded over the years, portions of
the trail have been removed and other parts reconstructed. A boardwalk was recently constructed to carry
pedestrians across the pond linking the west side to the east side.
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
HAMLET PARK EXPANSION
The primary feature proposed in the Hamlet Park expansion area is the construction of four new baseball
fields and improvements to serve those fields.
PUBLIC UTILITIES
An 8 -inch sanitary sewer pipe is proposed to be extended from the stub provided in the CP Rail
Expansion project through the park to the center of the new baseball fields. The pipe will serve the
proposed restrooms / concessions building located in the center of the four -plex. Insulation will need to be
installed over the sanitary sewer pipe due to the minimal cover over the pipe. Based on bedrock elevations
observed during the construction of the expansion pond, bedrock will likely be encountered during the
sanitary sewer construction.
A 6 -inch water main is proposed to be extended from the stub provided at 91 St Street to the new baseball
fields. This water main will serve the proposed restrooms / concessions building as well as the irrigation
systems for the park. Until the adjacent industrial lots develop to the east of the park, the City may
experience water quality issues in this area due to the 20 inch dead end water main on Hemingway
Avenue. If the access road corridor and new baseball fields are routinely irrigated, it is estimated to
provide enough weekly water turnover in the trunk water main to alleviate the water quality issues during
the summer months. However, monitoring chlorine residual in the water is recommended during the first
year and at spring start-up.
City of Cottage Grove, Minnesota
Hamlet Park Improvements Page 2
HAMLET PARK IMPROVEMENTS
Storm sewer will be installed throughout the parking lots and along the access road. Catch basins will be
installed at street and parking lot low points and other appropriate points along the roadway and parking
lots to collect storm water runoff and direct it to Hamlet Pond.
PARKING LOTS AND ACCESS ROAD
To serve the new baseball fields, three bituminous parking lots are proposed to be constructed to the
north, east, and south of the new fields. The new parking lots are proposed to hold approximately 290
vehicles combined. The parking lots are proposed to be outlined in B618 concrete curb and gutter with
B618 concrete curb and gutter islands. The north and east parking lots have already had the gravel base
section placed. It is proposed to shape the existing gravel base on these lots to approximately match the
preliminary design grades. This will need to be verified during the design phase of the project by
comparing the existing gravel base elevations with the preliminary design grades.
The south parking lot has been rough graded, but the gravel base section has not been placed yet. It is
proposed to spread existing stockpiles of fine aggregates and general fill, which exist throughout the
proposed baseball fields, on the south parking lot. The parking lot gravel base and pavement section will
then be placed over these materials.
Once the new ball fields are constructed, it will be necessary to provide a bituminous access road which
connects 89 Street and the existing parking lot to the new parking lots and 91" Street. The access road is
proposed to include B618 concrete curb and gutter and be 27 -feet wide from face of curb to face of curb.
No parking is proposed along the entire length of the access road. Approximately half of access road has
already been rough graded and had the gravel base section placed, from the proposed parking lots north to
the northernmost box culvert crossing. It's proposed to shape the existing gravel base on this portion of
the access road to approximately match the preliminary design grades. The remainder of the access road
will be excavated and a new gravel base and pavement section placed. The proposed gravel base and
pavement section for the parking lots and access road is as follows:
• 1.5" Wearing Course Pavement
• 2" Non Wearing Course Pavement
• 8" Aggregate Base Class 5
TRAILS AND SIDEWALKS
As part of the Hamlet Park Expansion, the existing bituminous trails are proposed to be extended
throughout the new site. A bituminous trail stub exists between the existing and proposed baseball fields.
It's located to the south of the existing flume and south box culvert. It is proposed to connect to this trail
stub and construct 8 -foot wide bituminous trails to connect the new parking lots with the new baseball
fields.
A 6 -foot wide concrete sidewalk is proposed to be constructed adjacent to the access road near the
existing parking lot. A connection is proposed to the existing sidewalk at the entrance off of 89` Street
and to the existing bituminous trail on the east side of the existing parking lot.
Pedestrian crossings from the proposed trails and sidewalks will be provided across the access road which
consists of concrete curb ramps, truncated domes, pavement markings, and signage. Concrete bollards are
proposed to be installed at crossings where pedestrians are anticipated to be consolidated and where the
wider pedestrian crossings are utilized.

LANDSCAPING
Additional landscaping is proposed throughout the Hamlet Park Expansion area. A variety of tree species
and shrubs are proposed at varying locations along the proposed trails and access road. Trees and shrubs
are proposed in- between the new baseball fields, surrounding the parking lots, and in the parking lot
islands.
An entry monument is proposed at the 91 Street park entrance. Ornamental trees, shrubs, and perennials
are proposed to surround the monument. The monument is proposed to be of similar character to the
existing park monumentation, which is an engraved limestone slab. A5%5 ; -
A kiosk displaying a park map and directional
signage is proposed to be constructed near the
91" Street entry monument. The kiosk is also
proposed to include information on Hamlet Park
features, which may include park history, tree
species, wildlife, or pond design. Trail distance
markers are also proposed throughout the park
trail system to inform trail users of lengths of
certain trail segments and loops.
Irrigation for the proposed landscaping improvements is to be constructed along the access road and
parking lots.
LIGHTING
Street lighting is proposed to illuminate the access road and parking lots in the expansion area. The City's
standard pole and luminaire shall be used. Pedestrian lighting is proposed along the trail corridor
connecting the two ball field quads and along the trail system within the two quads.
BASEBALL FIELDS
A new four -plex of baseball fields are proposed to be constructed to the south of the existing four -plex
and to the north of the Werner Electric Supply site. The fields are proposed to be orientated in the typical
"wagon wheel" layout with a center gathering area and concession building. The fields are proposed to
have the following specifications:
• 2 eastern fields - 300 -foot foul lines and 300 -foot to center field, 65' or 75' adjustable base length
• 2 western fields - 325 -foot foul lines and 375 -feet to center field, 90' base length
• 10' wide Ryan Red Rock warning tracks along baselines and outfield fencing
• Turf infields and outfields
• Hooded backstops
• Fully enclosed 8' high chain link fencing with single and double gates, concrete maintenance
strip, and outfield safety cap
• Double batting cage between the western fields
• Dugouts with a concrete floor, bench, and roof
• Spectator bleachers with 72 -seat capacity at each field
• Lighting meeting baseball standards of 50 foot -candle infield and 30 foot - candle outfield
• Irrigation system with quick connects at each field for dust control

information and a park map
HAMLET PARK IMPROVEMENTS
The fields are currently rough graded and topsoil has been spread on about two- thirds of the field area.
The grading of the fields is proposed to be finished with the remaining offite stockpiled topsoil and
topped with offsite screened and pulverized topsoil.
BUILDINGS
A building is proposed at the center of the new
baseball field four -plex. The building would host
a concessions stand, restrooms, and storage area.
A steel shade picnic structures is also proposed
near each of the three new parking lots. Each
structure would contain four picnic tables and a
trash receptacle.
Steel shade picnic shelters are proposed
near each of the three new parking lots

HAMLET PARK IMPROVEMENTS
ENHANCEMENT OF CURRENT ACTIVE PARK AREAS
Along with the expansion of Hamlet Park, the City is considering improvements to the current active park
areas.
PUBLIC UTILITIES
Sanitary sewer and water main were previously extended into the park from 89"' Street. It's proposed to
tap the existing water main and extend a 4 -inch water service to the proposed splash pad. A 1 -inch tap of
the existing water main is also proposed to provide service to a drinking fountain proposed at the center of
the existing ball field four -plex.
Storm sewer is proposed to be extended to drain the proposed splash pad. The storm sewer will also be
extended to the existing parking lot to pick up existing drainage. The storm sewer will then be routed
south between the existing football field and four -plex to the pond.
TRAILS
An existing bituminous trail runs from the existing parking lot and ends at the existing four -plex. An 8-
foot wide bituminous trail is proposed to be extended to the south to connect to the existing trail on the
north side of the storm water flume.
LANDSCAPING
Additional landscaping is proposed throughout the current Hamlet Park active areas. A variety of tree
species and shrubs are proposed at varying locations along the proposed trails and in- between the existing
baseball fields.
An entry monument is proposed at the park entrance off of 89 Street. Ornamental trees and shrubs are
proposed to surround the monument. The monument is proposed to consist of similar character to the
existing park monumentation, which is an engraved limestone boulder.
A trailhead with a kiosk displaying a park map and directional signage is proposed to be constructed near
the entry monument off of 89 Street. The kiosk is also proposed to include information on Hamlet Park
features, which may include park history, tree species, wildlife, or pond design. The trailhead will be
outlined by trees and shrubs. Trail distance markers are also proposed throughout the park trail system to
inform trail users of lengths of certain trail segments and loops.
LIGHTING
Pedestrian lighting is proposed to illuminate the trail between the existing ball fields. Lighting is also
proposed at both the splash pad and playground facilities.
EXISTING BASEBALL FIELDS
Improvements to the existing ball fields are proposed. The existing batting cage near the volleyball and
hockey rink will be removed with the construction of the access road. A new double batting cage is
proposed to be constructed in- between the two southern fields. A concrete maintenance strip is proposed
under the existing fencing surrounding the fields. A new drinking fountain is also proposed in the center
of the four fields.
City of Cottage Grove, Minnesota

SPLASH PAD
A zero -depth splash pad is proposed to the east
of the existing parking lot. The splash pad is
proposed to be constructed of colored concrete
and be approximately 1,800 square feet in area.
A variety of on- demand spray features are
proposed, similar to the splash pad at Highlands
Park. Shade structures, a bike rack, and lighting
are also proposed at the site. The splash pad is
proposed to be a flow - through system with
drainage into the proposed storm sewer system.
PLAYGROUND
The existing playground equipment is proposed to be
renovated by adding new, larger play components
constructed in the same location and tying into the
existing playground theme. The new playground area
is proposed to be approximately 6,200 square -feet.
Minor grading of the adjacent berm may be required
depending on the final location. Concrete curbing and
sidewalk is proposed around the playground site.
Engineered wood fiber is proposed as the base
surface which meets City standards. An ADA
(American's with Disabilities Act) compliant resilient
mat is proposed as an alternate to the typical wood
chip surface. Lighting and a shade structure is
proposed at this site as well. A bench and trash
receptacle would also be provided.
SKATE PART(
The existing outdoor skate park has three smaller features and one large feature constructed on an asphalt
surface. Renovation of the existing skate park is proposed with this project. This includes repairing and/or
replacing damaged features, and expanding the park with the addition of new features.
BUILDINGS
Two steel shade structures are proposed at the center of
the existing baseball fields. Each structure is proposed to
contain four picnic tables and a trash receptacle. These
steel shade structures are proposed to be the same type
of building as the structures proposed in the park
expansion area. Smaller, fabric - roofed shade structures
are proposed at the splash pad and playground areas. The
storage building at the park entrance off of 89 Street is
proposed to be demolished with this project due to the
location of the access road. A storage area will be
provided in the new building proposed at the center of
the proposed baseball fields.

REDEVELOPMENT OF THE HAMLET PARK NORTH POND
Redevelopment of the north end of Hamlet Park is being considered with this project. A preliminary
design was put together in 2007 by Brauer and Associates for park enhancements across from Norris
Square. The site includes realignment of existing bituminous trails, two arbor structures, sidewalks,
benches, trash receptacles, an entrance identification sign, park system orientation sign, retaining walls, a
seat wall, ornamental fencing, irrigation, turf, and a variety of trees, shrubs, and perennials. The cost
estimate from Brauer was reviewed and updated for anticipated unit prices for 2013 construction.

A construction permit from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) and the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency (MPCA) would be required for the water main and sanitary sewer construction. Because
this project disturbs more than one acre of land, a Phase II General Storm Water Permit for Construction
Activities from the MPCA would also be required.
No acquisition of easements or right -of -way is anticipated with this project.
ESTIMATED COSTS
Cost estimates for each of the three categories of park improvements have been prepared and are itemized
in Appendix B. All costs are based on anticipated unit prices for the 2013 construction season. All costs
include a ten (10) percent contingency and a thirty (30) percent allowance for indirect costs associated
with the project (engineering, administrative, financing, and legal). No costs are included for capitalized
interest during the construction period. The following page shows an overall summary of the estimated
project costs.
