REGULAR COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING Page 1 Thursday, November 29, 2012 DRAFT MINUTES Richfield Community Center (7000 Nicollet Ave) UNTIL APPROVED By THE CSC, I CSC: Gerry 4harnitz, Greq Mangold, LuAnn Werner, Arlan Nelson, Michele Thompson, Reed Bornholdt STAFF: Jim opitzhofer, Nick Thompson PLANNING COMMISSION: Tom Rublein ) CSC: Terry Heinze, Dan Edgerton, Bob Shotwell COUNCIL: Fred Wroge CALL TO ORDER Charnitz called the meeting to order at 7:02 pm. I PROJECT PLAN SUMMARY I Charnitz summarized the Band Shell Committee's proposal as it was presented to the Community Services Commission. Topitzhofer explained that the band shell committee identified Vets Park as a possible location. He said that $250,000 is allocated in the City's capital improvement plan, and private donations would be sought to supplement the project budget. I PUBLIC COMMENTS I • Airplane noise at Vets: too loud • Two other nearby bandshells (Centennial Lakes and Lake Harriet). No demand for another. • Too expensive and large in scope. • Scale the project plan to the existing site: Augsburg • Lyndale Gardens: better site. Developer already proposing one. • Lyndale Gardens area, better for foot traffic. • Wildlife would suffer and green space would be sacrificed at Vets. • Use liquor money to improve existing facilities, like playgrounds and trails • Takes attention and fundraising money away from other efforts to promote the arts • Parking inadequate at Vets • Centennial Lakes gets crowded with car traffic. • Too expensive to build. Concerned about tax money to run and repair it. • Richfield is too small to support it. • Performances would be too loud for neighbors to the south • West side of Vets Park would be a better location with playground and concessions. • Band shell would be used only a small part of the year • People would want the convenience of nearby business to get food. • Business owner on 66t" Street: would benefit from foot traffic • Would provide schools and community band/theater with a venue. • City has $250k allocated... donations would determine scope of project. • Neighbors south of the park don't mind parking on 4th of July • Airplane noise is worse at Lake Harriet and may be worse at Lyndale Gardens • Would provide permanent seating rather than lawn chairs at Augsburg • Towns smaller than Richfield have bandshells; promotes sense of community • Would draw people to Richfield from around the metro. I ADJOURNMENT Meeting adjourned at 8:35 pm.
