The City of Scandia’s location along the Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway creates opportunities to preserve high quality natural resources fostering habitat and a diverse ecology. Planning for these parks must equitably balance community recreation needs, stewardship of natural resources, and city operation funding. TKDA recognizes the importance of a visionary and practical Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan that will continue to be a vital part of future development and preservation of Scandia’s rural character and charm. Leading the master planning process will be Senior Landscape Architect and Project Manager Kathleen Anglo. Kathleen recently joined TKDA after 20 years as a landscape architect for the City of Saint Paul’s Park and Recreation Department. She has extensive park master planning and on-the-ground project implementation experience. The implementation experience strengthens Kathleen’s understanding of complex issues when it comes to planning within neighborhood, community, and natural resource based parks. Joining her is Samantha McKinney to lead the Community Outreach and Engagement process. Samantha has extensive engagement experience with stakeholders and constituents on planning projects both large and small. Also supporting the effort is Steve Foss, a landscape architect with extensive park system planning and implementation experience in communities throughout the metro area. This team is also supported by a deep bench of TKDA engineers, architects, and technicians who will serve as valuable resources. Thank you for considering TKDA for this exciting opportunity. Kathleen knows the community of Scandia well, growing up in Forest Lake and currently a resident of Stillwater, she is a frequent user of the parks within the Scandia community. She and the rest of the TKDA team look forward to a close, collaborative relationship with the City of Scandia, helping to plan the future of these amazing community assets! If you have any questions regarding our proposal, please contact Kathleen Anglo directly at 612.845.5991 or kathleen.anglo@tkda.com. Sincerely, Kathleen Anglo, PLA, ASLA, SITES AP DJ Heinle, AIA Project Manager Vice President, Architecture TKDA • City of Scandia • Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan | 1 Understanding/Approach Understanding The City of Scandia is leading the effort to develop a Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (PROs) Master Plan to serve as an update to their 2005-2025 Comprehensive Parks, Trails, Open Space and Recreation Plan. The City will use the plan to support short-term and long-term implementation of parks, trails, open space, and recreation development over the next fifteen (15) years. The planning process must incorporate community, City Council, City staff, and stakeholder input, analysis of existing facilities, assessment of needs, and prioritization of future improvements. The PROs master plan will build upon and maintain continuity with the City’s Comprehensive Plan, City zoning code regulations, and State fire code regulations. The City is also planning for a future arts and cultural heritage center. The planning process will include collaboration with the Scandia Heritage Alliance with regards to improvement plans for the Community Center Park. Specific key objectives to the planning process include review of existing City planning documents, community outreach and engagement, existing park analysis, parks and recreation needs assessment, that identifies and prioritizes short- and long-term improvements, and a final report that thoughtfully and clearly presents all information for presentation to the Scandia City Council. The final report will include design maps and renderings, needs analysis research, community outreach and engagement summary, park and recreation recommendations broken out into development phases, visual examples of recommended recreation programming, and how the plan conforms to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Approach Our approach is organized into three phases, each of which is conducted within two- or three-month timeframes. For each phase we have identified specific tasks, including related meetings and project deliverables. We propose a combination of in-person and virtual meetings throughout the process. Consistent and clear communication will be maintained between the consultant team and client to ensure the plan is consistent with City goals and to maintain the project schedule. A successful project includes a community-centered, transparent engagement process to share project information, vet design options, and ensure open communication as the project advances. Our team has successfully utilized a variety of in-person and interactive online tools to achieve an inclusive community engagement process. Our role in the engagement process is to be a liaison between the community stakeholders and the City. This project is an opportunity to strengthen these relationships through a targeted and transparent process. Our team will utilize a data-driven approach to engagement. As technology changes and community comfort to online engagement increases, so do the opportunities to use data to help better serve residents. Our team will craft questions and engagement strategies to provide valuable information we can objectively review and include into the plan. We have included two phases to community outreach (the first phase to solicit broad input on issues and opportunities within the parks and recreation system; and the second phase to review ideas and prioritization of improvements to the system). We will work with City staff at the beginning of the process to develop a more detailed Community Outreach and Engagement Plan to identify key stakeholders and engagement methods and establish an engagement schedule. We approach the planning process as a team with experience not only developing the plans, but with extensive experience implementing plans and projects. We understand that these planning efforts set the stage for work 10-15 years into the future and our goal is to create realistic, data-driven priorities guiding park development complimenting the City’s comprehensive plan. TKDA • City of Scandia • Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan | 2 Work Plan We anticipate using the following steps to complete the scope of work necessary to deliver the final document. It will provide the City with information for decisions on park improvements for the next 10-15 years. We assume a March 16 start date after contract approval at City Council. Phase 1: Inventory and Needs Assessment (March – June) Task 1 - Meetings and Engagement Kick-off Meeting (March): We start the project by scheduling a kick-off meeting with City staff and any key stakeholders identified by the City guiding the planning process. At this meeting we will review the project scope and schedule an overall review of previous planning documents; we’ll review the plan for site visits and evaluation; and finally outline the plan for community outreach and engagement. Project Team Meeting No. 2 (April): At this meeting we’ll review the key findings from previous plans and review the community outreach platform and survey questionnaire, and schedule an in-person feedback session. Community Outreach (April – May): We will finalize our community outreach plan and assemble information and materials to engage stakeholders and community members on their needs and wants for the City of Scandia’s park system. The first phase of engagement will be a combination of an in-person activity and on-line engagement. We will use a virtual platform such as social pin-point to gauge user needs combined with an on-line survey. We will work with City staff to coordinate an in-person event either in conjunction with another on-going event (such as the farmer’s market or Immigrant for a Day) or as a stand-alone event. Project Team Meeting No. 3 (May): At this meeting we will review findings during the first community outreach session and overlay this with the park inventory and assessment. This will begin the discussion on gap analysis and needs assessment. Task 2 - Document Review Working with City staff we assemble and review prior planning documents directly related to the PROs Master Planning effort. We will summarize our key findings to establish and/or reinforce goals for the plan. Task 3 - Park Inventory and Condition Assessment Perform an inventory and assessment of the existing parks within the City of Scandia’s jurisdiction and assemble a table of existing programming and evaluation of the overall park condition. We’ll keep in mind other programming offered within regional and state parks in the City of Scandia. Task 4 - Gap Analysis and Needs Assessment Start to analyze gaps in the City’s park system by reviewing the needs and wants of park users with relation to the existing park system. We further refine needs based on demographic and recreation trends. Task 6 - Preparation of the Master Plan Document Outline of the master plan document is prepared, along with discussion on preferred document layout and style.

Review draft materials for the next phase of community outreach. Community Outreach (July - August): Using the same methods of outreach during the first phase of outreach, a summary of “what we heard” along with draft recommendations and park prioritization plans will be posted for input. We will host an in-person event, either in conjunction with another event or as a stand-alone event. Project Team Meeting No. 5 (August): Review information gathered during the second phase of community outreach and edit park prioritization and plans as needed. Task 4 - Gap Analysis and Needs Assessment Finalize the needs assessment summary after discussion with staff and stakeholders. Task 5 - Improvement Recommendations and Prioritization Begin to formalize the improvement priorities and establish logical locations for improvements based on the park inventory and condition assessment. Analysis of park area for future development and feasibility for park acquisition. A master list of improvements will be created for each park and a corresponding park plan will be developed. If new programming is identified, it will be assigned to an existing park as feasible or noted as a desired park acquisition. The prioritization lists and park plans will be used during the second phase of community outreach to solicit feedback on the park plan process and alignment with the needs assessment. Task 6 - Preparation of the Master Plan Document Continue to update the document with information gathered during the previous and current phase.

TKDA • City of Scandia • Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan | 7 Experience Park Master Plans City of Shorewood, MN In 2009, the City of Shorewood was at a significant crossroads in park planning—the town was almost fully developed, and was not planning to add any new park sites. To ensure the City's investments in its parks would use resources wisely and meet the community’s future needs, TKDA completed new Master Plans for its five major parks—Badger, Cathcart, Freeman, Manor, and Silverwood. TKDA staff facilitated site evaluations and meetings with the City’s Park Commission to identify options for each of the parks and establish the vision for the community’s Park System as a whole. TKDA developed concept plans for each park, and facilitated a consensus on the final master plans. Commission members identified park elements and materials that reflected the unique character and interests of the community, as well as needs for park facilities. TKDA completed cost estimates and phasing for each of the Master Plans. The City is using the Master Plans to develop its Capital Improvements Plan, and will implement the plans in phases. The Park Master Plans will help the City make wise use of its resources for its parks. TKDA • City of Scandia • Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan | 8 Newport Park Master Plans City of Newport, MN Upcoming park infrastructure repairs prompted Newport’s Park Commission to reevaluate their existing parks, and determine if changes should be made prior to making significant investments in their facilities. With increasing demands for limited municipal resources, Commission members wanted to invest wisely to best serve the community’s changing needs. The park master plans’ goal was to develop a fresh vision for an aging park system. The master plans provided a framework for phased development at the City’s three major parks. The opportunities and limitations for different kinds of development were explored for each of the parks, and the parks were also viewed comprehensively to make sure all desired services were being offered without unnecessary redundancies within the system. Each park has its own unique focus. Loveland Park, the largest of the three, offers a concentration of active recreation activities in the lower portion of the park, with the upper, more natural areas being reserved for passive recreation activities such as hiking and cross country skiing. Pioneer Park, centered in the historic district of town, emphasizes its rich cultural background and connection to the Mississippi River, which gave birth to the town of Newport. Lions Park is a smaller, compact community park serving the picnicking and active recreation requirements of the immediate neighborhood. TKDA facilitated meetings with the City’s Parks Commission and Heritage Preservation Commission to develop the master plans, and presented the plans at a community open house and to the City Council for final approval. Levee Park Master Plan Recreation Area Lions Park Pioneer Park TKDA • City of Scandia • Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan | 9 City of Scandia Planning City of Scandia, MN The home of the first Swedish settlers in the state, Scandia is the newest city in Washington County, Minnesota. Originally a township, the city was incorporated in 2007. It is located on the edge of the Twin Cities metro. Along with its rich history and charming downtown, the city is also home to over 4,000 residents. Residential neighborhoods and small farms dot the landscape, along with a number of lakes and woodlands. The St. Croix River also provides many scenic views to visitors and citizens of the community. TKDA provides the City of Scandia with municipal planning services. Working closely with City staff, these services include managing land use and zooming applications, reviewing site plans, reviewing preliminary and final plats, review of conditional and special use permits, review of variances and comprehensive plan amendments, and revisions and updates to the Development Code. Because of Scandia’s ample shoreline, TKDA reviews many residential projects and variance requests for lakeside and shoreline properties. Our staff works with local watersheds and the DNR to confirm wetland and shoreland requirements are met. TKDA worked with City staff, three local Watershed Districts, and the Planning Commission to complete the City’s Local Surface Water Management Plan in 2012. In addition, TKDA assists Scandia with park and trail planning, landscape design, and design reviews. In 2012, staff completed the plan and public involvement process for the citywide trail network in Scandia and its historic village. TKDA collaborated with the City staff, City Council, and Planning Commission for a comprehensive update of the City’s Development Code and Subdivision Ordinance as a part of Scandia’s transition from a township to a city government. TKDA • City of Scandia • Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan | 10 Comprehensive Park Plan Update City of Lake Elmo, MN The City of Lake Elmo hired TKDA to update the City’s Park System Plan as part of its 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The need for a new Park Plan arose from recent changes in the City’s planning strategies. The Comprehensive Plan guides for preservation of the rural character throughout much of the City’s landscape while integrating an urban character through concentrated development in designated, key locations. The Park System Plan will link together the urban and rural portions of the City, balance natural resources stewardship and recreation facilities, and unify the system of neighborhood parks, community-wide parks, and trails. Through a series of six working meetings and one open house public meeting, TKDA worked with the Parks Commission and City staff to identify park planning principles uniquely tailored to the City’s needs. The project team evaluated park system needs and opportunities, and recommended location, size, and use for future parkland and for improvements to existing parks. A multi-disciplined approach taking into account natural resources, recreation interests and needs, demographic trends, land use, proximity and connections resulted in a 2030 Park System Plan. The plan identifies search areas for a variety of new park types, and a greenway corridor within the context of a hierarchy of trails. TKDA • City of Scandia • Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan | 11 Scandia City-Wide Trail Master Plan City of Scandia, MN TKDA completed the city-wide Trail Master Plan for the City of Scandia, Minnesota. The Master Plan is a long-term plan for the development of a connected system of pedestrian and bicycle trails to serve the City. It includes three major trail loops, and numerous sub-loops that connect all areas of the City to the historic village. TKDA worked with an advisory committee for the project including the City’s Parks Commission, the Friends of Scandia Parks and Trails, and local residents. The group used several charrette meetings to review the City’s existing trail system, and identify the proposed new trails creating a comprehensive network. The trail plan emphasizes the following: »A looped system offering a variety of trail lengths and experiences »Connections from the local system to County and Regional trails, including the proposed Gateway Trail »Alternate routes for some trails within the village area to provide safe routes to school and connections to the Gateway Trail »Proposed future route along an existing rail corridor »Development of safe crossings of State Highway 97 and county roads »Connections among the City’s parks, historic sites, and the village area »Locations for trailheads and interpretive facilities The Master Plan includes the trail system maps, system description, a cost estimate, and phasing plan. TKDA also developed a trail system brochure that the City is using to promote the proposed trail system. The City Council adopted the plan in June 2011. 60w Vi ll a g e Con nec ti o n Scandia/MarineS c a n dia N orth Elementary School Community Center Gammelgarden Lilleskogen Park Scandia Ball Park OLINDASCANDIA OAKHILL2 0 5 T HODELL PARRISHO LAN D OREN209TH OZARK 214TH 213TH OSTRUMOLDFIELD215TH 209TH 2 0 9 T H 209TH City of Scandia Trails Planning Map - Old Village 600 Feet April 14, 2011 Data Sources: Scandia Comprehensive Plan, Washington County, Metropoiltan Council, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. 1 inch equals 600 feet The Statewide Health Improvement Program (SHIP), an integralpart of Minnesota’s nation-leading 2008 health reform law, strives to help Minnesotans lead longer, healthier lives by preventing thechronic disease risk factors of tobacco use and exposure, poor nutrition and physical inactivity.

To maintain a high level of service within the park, infrastructure was upgraded within its Modern Campground and along the 3.8-mile Eagle Point Trail. Modern Campground was built in the 1980s and includes 80 camping sites. As part of this LEPR improvement project, the county upgraded the power hook- ups to 50 amps and replaced the old galvanized water lines with PVC lines. The campground playground was 17 years old. The project removed and replaced all equipment and surfaces and improved accessibility. New sidewalks, benches, drinking fountain, and landscaping were also added. To improve access to the park and trails, a new gravel parking lot off of Inwood Avenue North was added. The lot included LED lighting and a water filtration basin. Segments of Eagle Point Trail were regraded and drainage features added to manage stormwater. A new boardwalk bridge was also designed. The project explored demolishing the existing trailhead building and replacing it with a new facility. The design included restrooms, enclosed seating area, benches, interpretative kiosk and signage, and landscaping. This project portion remains unbuilt at this time. TKDA • City of Scandia • Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan | 13 Blaine Park and Recreation Master Plan City of Blaine, MN In December 2020, the Blaine City Council adopted the Park and Recreation System Master Plan as a guiding document for future park planning and improvements. This plan is the first of its kind for the City of Blaine and will be used to help guide future improvements and aid in budgetary decisions. The Park System Master Plan serves a “Visioning Plan” for the future of its park and trail system. This plan is intended to help guide future improvements and aid in budgetary decisions. This planning document includes recommendations and implementation options to provide a 10-15 year vision for the city’s park and trail facilities including recreational facilities, special program uses, preservation areas, and communitywide trail linkages. Crystal Park and Recreation System Master Plan City of Crystal, MN The City of Crystal has a strong commitment to providing high quality parks, trails, recreation facilities, and programming for all citizens and visitors to the community. The city maintains 263 acres of parkland in 27 parks. In 2017, the City of Crystal reviewed all of its parks, trails and natural areas as part of a Park Systems Master Plan process. This planning process provided a framework to guide the city in locating facilities, establishing priorities and funding future improvements. The goal of the master plan was to ensure the needs of residents meet current and future demand. The system plan included the following types of parks: • Natural Areas – Little to no development • Neighborhood – Small park within a 10-minute walk • Community – Large recreation facilties • Destination – Specialized facilities *Work performed by Steven Foss for a previous employer. TKDA • City of Scandia • Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan | 14 2040 Parks, Trails, and Open Space Plan City of Faribault, MN The City of Faribault has supported a strong tradition of indoor and outdoor recreational opportunities for residents and visitors. The City's Parks and Recreation Department has been on the forefront of shaping these opportunities and providing access to community events, fitness programs, sports and recreation activities, as well as parks, trails, and shelters that aim to make access convenient and safe. The Parks, Trails, and Open Space Plan represents a comprehensive and integrated strategy to build on the strengths of the existing system over the next 20 years. Components of the Plan included: an inventory and analysis of existing parks (including buildings and equipment), trails, open space, and recreation programs, projected demographic conditions and trends, regional park and trail connections, integration with downtown parks and amenities. The work also included analyzing the best uses for existing parks and potentially developing plans to shift ball fields from certain parks to other existing or proposed parks. As part of the planning process, different strategies were explored to improve the experiences of users of all ages and abilities. *Work performed by Sam McKinney for a previous employer. TKDA • City of Scandia • Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan | 15 Chestnut Street Civic Plaza City of Stillwater, MN TKDA is currently working with the City of Stillwater on the redesign of a two- block portion of Chestnut Street, creating a people-centric civic plaza that reinforcing the downtown historic character and showcases its vitality. Chestnut Street is the entrance to the Historic Stillwater Lift Bridge. The plaza will serve as a gateway into and out of downtown and the state of Minnesota for pedestrians and bicyclists crossing the bridge on the St. Croix Loop Trail. The plaza must adhere to guidelines that protect the Historic Commercial District and the nationally listed historic bridge. Plaza amenities include site furniture, new plantings, decorative paving, and ornamental lighting. The project included community engagement during COVID-19 which was accomplished both virtually and in-person (outside). To adhere to current CDC requirements, TKDA established a protocol for users to talk with staff, interact with boards, and provide feedback. This very successful “belt and suspenders” approach reached a wider audience than just through one means of outreach and engagement. TKDA • City of Scandia • Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan | 16 Newport Levee Master Plan and City Parks Master Plan Updates • City of Newport, Newport, MN Worked with the Newport Park Commission to develop a Park Master Plan for a new riverside park, Levee Park. The site was formerly residential lots that were purchased due to recurring flooding from the Mississippi River. The park design included pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular access, parking, kayak and canoe launch, play area, trails, picnicking, and overlooks. The plan also includes an area for the potential placement of the culturally significant Red Rock. The Master Plan Updates for three City Parks (Loveland, Lions, and Pioneer) address current recreation trends, land use changes, aging infrastructure issues, and provides an updated vision for future phased park development. Community engagement included a community survey, attending community events, and Open Houses. Lake Elmo Park Reserve Improvements • Washington County, Lake Elmo, MN Improvements to the 3.8-mile Eagle Point Trail and the 80-site Modern Campground.
