LOCKE LAKE SKATING RINKS�
Mr. Frank Nebel, President of the Locke Lake Improvement Association, was present to
discuss the proposal of City maintained skating rinks to be located on Locke Lake.
Mr. Nebel presented•a drawing of the lake and pointed out the four locations which
their Association felt were the specific areas to be considered. They are requesting
two rinks, and of the four specified areas, the two which they would like to have
considered first are near the outlet and down near the inlet. These two areas were
^ given first preference because they are out of the areas used by snowmobilers.
The area near the inlet is adjacent to park property and a street light could be
installed on the park property. Mr. Nebel indicated that there would be no problem
with installing the light on private property, if it need be.
Mr. Blair asked Mr. Brown about the thickness of the ice before we could drive out
snow equipment on £or maintenance. Mr. Brown reported that we use one and a half ton
trucks and tractors, so the ice would have to be at least six inches thick. This is
the thickness we've required at Moore Lake.
Mr. Blair stated that because of the constant flow of water, the two areas located
nea� the outlet and the inlet, would have to be ruled out. Mr. Nebel explained that
the depth of the water at the outlet never exceeds eight feet. Mr. Nebel went on to
expl�in that there is an area through the middle of the lake, where the flow is, that
wouldn't fr�eze until later in the season, but that in most other places, the lake
freezes right down to the bottom.
Mr. Blair pointed out that there were residents who live on the lake, who have been
maintaining rinks for a number of years. Mr. Nebel stated that he had done this very
thing, but that as soon as the snowmobilers pack the snow down, it becomes impossible
to clear the snow with their small equipment. He stated that if fhe snow can be
removed before it's packed down, there's no problem, but in most cases, there is no
way in which they can maintain rinks after the first part of January.
n Mr. Fitzpatrick agreed that there was a lack of facilities in that area.
��: �rvwt� poi.nted out that there was a lot of discontent among the neighbors. He
:: �;��.ed that ha had h�¢ ��o� Q� p�}o�}e ���,�g q� ��,i5 very topic, from the non-snowmobilers
who wanted the snowmobiles banned from the lake, the ice �fkaters who wanted the

n LOCKE IAKE SKATING RINKS CCON�T)�
snowmobilers banned from the lake., the snowmobilers who wanted specified areas in
which they could ride and not receive static from the area residents, and residents
who wanted no activity whatsoever. All in all, Mx. Brown stated that the area itself
has a great deal of controversy, Mr. Brown pointed out that if a rink were installed,
then the office would start receiving calls on whether or not Hockey should be played
on the rink. '
Mr. Brown went on to explain that the biggest problems are that financially we are
not able to take on any additional rinks at this time. We are lacking manpower to
maintain the rinks which we already have, and it's definitely too late to add even
one rink for Locke Lake, for 1972�1973. Mr. Brown said that the best that the City
could do at this time is to make a study of the lake, when work is being done at
Moore Lake. Mr. Brown stated that comparisons will be made and a feasibility report
will be compiled. He asked Mr. Nebel to get written permission from the home owner,
to cross private property, in order that the maintenance crew might gain access to
the rink area. Mr. Brown asked that this letter be turned in as soon as possible.
Mr. Brown asked the Commission if they had heard about the skating situation in
Brooklyn Center. He stated that the City Manager had recommended that ten rinks be
dropped from the maintenance schedule, due to lake of funds and manpower available,
and the City will only maintain seven rinks for the 1972-1973 skating season.
Mr. Brown recommended that a feasibility study be conducted by the maintenance staff,
along with some preliminary work, to determine whether or not a skating rink could be
n installed and maintained by the City on I.ocke Lake. •

NORTH PARK DEVELOPMENT:
Mr. Robert Barnette was present to discuss the proposed development of the Narth Park
area. He �tated that there was only one place in Fridley that is large enough to
congtruct a gol£ course, and that this is the North Park area. There are no o.ther
courses within a ten mile radius, and there are many residents who have indicated their
desire for such a facility, to Mr. Barnette. Mr. Barnette stated that this area has
many natural areas which could very easily be developed into a beautiful golf course.
Mr. Barnette said that he felt that Fridley needed natural areas, but that there were
other areas which could be used for this purpose. According to Mr. Barnette, there is
no other area for a golf course in Fridley. Mr. Barnette asked the Commission to please
give every consideration toward a golf course, when discussing the North Park development.
Mrs. Baxbara Hughes was present, on behalf of the League of Women Voters, to present
their views on how they feel that the North Park area should be developed. Mrs. Hughes
stated that the League feels that the best use of that area commonly known as the North
Park area, would be to develop it into a Nature Center. In their plan is the hiring of
a Naturalist to assist in the planning of the area and, later, to be on hand to
supervise and plan other types of activities within the area. He could also be used
� to assist in the planning of Chases Island, and further planning of Locke Park and
_ R�ce Creek. Mrs. Hughes stated that in the League's opinion, this is the last area

�::���he League ta incorporate th�e RiCe Cxeek Na#�u��i Tx��,ls and the North Park Nature
Center. Mrs- Hughes asked that the Commission give a groa� deal of thought to a
Nature Center in North Park.
Minutes of the Parks � Recreation Commission Meciing, Se teg mber 25, 157?. Page 3
� NORTH PARK DEVELOPMENT iCON�T):
Mr. Fitzpatrick stated that in both the case of the golf course and the nature center,
the proposing groups feel that the North Park area is the only remaining area in
Fridley, which is suit�ble for the purpose. Both ideas for development are very
worthwhile and will be given a great deal of consideration.
Mr. Barnette explained that he has lived in the Fridley area since 1957 and it has
been his hope, and the hope of many others, that eventually a golf course could be
located within the city limits. Their first thought was for Locke Park, but after
this area was developed, the golf course idea had to go by the wayside. Mr. Barnette
stated-that he is not backed by an organization, and he doesn't have a list of names
of the people who desire a golf course in Fridley. All he has is a lot of verbal
backing in support of his project. In 1970 Mr. Barnette sent out letters to the
various industries and interested parties, and though he didn't receive a tremendous
number of letters back, he did feel encouraged by the response he received.
Mr. Barnette stated that he would very much support a Nature Center, but he would
also support a golf course. He said that there is no other place in Fridley for a
golf course, but there are other areas which could be used as a nature center.
Mr. Barnette said that North Park is ideally located as far as roadways, etc. are
concerned, and that he felt that a golf course, surrounded by Industry, would have a
better chance of surviving, than a nature center. The area around the North Park
area is all zoned Industrial.
n Mr. Barnette has compiled some statistics which he said he could furnish for the
Commission, if they so desired, and according to the National Golf Foundation, taking
a ten mile radius and the population involved, there are about 150,000 people, and
of those people, there would be approximat�ly 9,000 regular golfers. He stated that
a golf course would support itself and would be used by all age groups, from children
to senior citizens.
Mr. Barnette pointed out that Coon Rapids has the Bunker Prai�ie Park which could
vexy easily be developed into a County Nature Center.
Mr, Fitzpatrick asked Mr. Barnette is he had any cost figures for development. Mr.
Barnette stated that since the purchase of the land has already been made, an 18 hole
golf course would run in the neighborhood of one half to three quarters of a million
dollars.
Mr. Fitzpatrick asked the League for an estimate of the cost of a Nature Center. Mrs.
Spore said that a very elaborate center with the center building and garages would
run in the neighborhood of $850,000.00.
Mrs. Hughes said that as far as the area itself is concerned, North Park is useable
now as a nature center, and the costs of development could be spread out over a number
of years, or as the City can afford it. A golf course would be developed over a very
short period of time and the cost would be immediate. Mr. Fitzpatrick said that if
a nature center was developed within the budget as we get it�now, it would take a great
number of years. He felt that whether it was a nature center of a golf course, it
would require a revenue bond �o cover the expenses.
n £ederal. funds mi ht be available for either type of

Mr. Fitzpatrick stated that he had been on the �ommission and aware of Mr. Barnette's
request for a number of years. He said that perhaps one of the reasons that a
Minutes of the Parks $ Recreatian Commission Me�::�n�, September 25, 1972. Page 4
^ NORTH PARK DEVEIAPMENT �CON�T):
definite stand had not been taken was that the Council has never asked the Commission
for an opinion on the matter of either the North Park area or.a Municipal Golf Course.
Mr. Blair, looking at a raap of Wood Lake, pointed out that a large portion of the
area around the Nature Center was residential, with exception to the freeway and a
small amount of industry. He asked the League if they had considered the fact that
the IQorth Park area would be surrounded by strictly industry, and what effect this
would have on their small wild lifie and salt water ponds? Mrs. Hughes responded
by saying that there had been some concern at Wood Lake because of the salt from the
freeway and the effects on the water and wildlife. They have been running some
tests and at present do not feel that there is any problem. Mr. Blair stated that
with the new shopping center and the surrounding properties up for commercial sale,
he didn't feel that it would be the best setting for a nature center. Mrs. Hughes
said that she didn't feel that it.would be any different, whether'the land be
developed into a nature center or�a golf course.
Mrs. Hughes said that a golf course could always be developed from a nature center,
but that a nature center could never be developed from a golf course, or any other
man mada development.
Mrs. Hughes invited the Commissioners and their families to attend a North Park tour
to be held on Sunday, October 8, 1972, from 1:00 until 6:00 p.m. A guide will be on
hand to point out the interesting areas, such as the beaver dam and various wildlife.
The City Band will be on hand and refreshments will be served.
� Mr. Fitzpatrick instructed the Commissioners to give the development of North Park
much consideration so that when they are approached by the Council, they will be
ready with.:a recommendation. Mr. Fitzpatrick also asked Mr. Brown to inform the
Commissioners of the Medtronic offer.
Mr. Brown stated that he had been in attendance at a meeting at Medtronic, Incorporated,
which is a company located within Fridley, who has shown a great deal of concern for
the community. Medtronic has located on the north side of Rice Creek and has done a
great deal of work to enhance the natural beauties of the Creek as it flows past the
company. They have installed a$4,000.00 bridge and have their own small nature center.
Medtronic has offered to finance a feasibility study of the North Park area to get
an outside opinion on what the area is best suited for. Mr. Fitzpatrick stated that
we should definitely utilize this offer.
Mrs. Hughes emphasized the importance of what happens downstream from a development.
She called the Commissioners attention to the Stonybrook problem with the creek bank
washing away. This is an item which should be given a great deal of consideration
in the North Park area.
Mr. Fitzpatrick thanked Mr. Barnette, Mrs. Hughes, and the League of Women Voters,
for coming to the meeting to present their theories and plans for the development of
North Park, and said that we would keep them advised of the progress. '
MAWVONIEN PARK:
^ Mx, �xpwn called the Gommission's attention to the drafted resolution naming the
C�?t4.��y owned p�'ApQrty ������� R�} �ast River Road, Mahnomen Park. The City of Fridley
:.. commonly known as Mahnommn �� ARe ��,�� a�}� ��}�� area on on East River Road has
been refexred to as Mahnomen, but has never been ai�'�.qi���y named as such. The
Commission discussed the resolution favorably, but no�action was required.

� FRIDL.�Y BOAT LAUNCH�
Mr. Fitzpatrick requested that�the discussion of a boat launch for Fridley be placed
on the agenda. He stated that he had been approached on many occasions, regarding
the topic and would like to have a firm answer. Mr. Brown informed the Commission
th8t this was not an unfamiliar item to the department and that after checking out
the possibile locations, have decided that the entire Fridley river bank is too swift
and shallow for a boat launch.
Brooklyn Park has two boat launches, one located immediately south of Interstate #694.
and the other near the 7800 block. 'I'here's a large ramp in Camden, on the Nlest side
of the river, just off of Lyndale Avenue North.
.
Mr. Brown stated that it was the feeling of the Department that there is no acceptable
location for a bPat launch in Fridley. The Commissioners agreed.
BUI)G�T t
Mr. Brown briefly reviewed some of the Budget changes made by the City Council, but
no further discussion was made.

problem. Mr. Bxown stated that a letter has been drafted to inform the residents of
' theix' responsibilitxes; and the operation will be in full swing next Spring when the
trees begin to get their leaves. Mr. Brown also reportied that a tree inspection
program had been in operation this past Summer and that approximately 10 to 15 calls
were rece'ived each week for this•free service. Many samples were taken to the
University of Minnesota and State Aepartment of Minnesota, for testing with both
positive and negative results being returned. Mx. Brown said he'd keep.the Commission
