Parks & Recreation Advisory
Committee
The Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee (PRAC) is an
appointed committee of volunteer citizens. The purpose of the
PRAC is to advise and make recommendations to City Council
concerning parks, recreation, open space, and trail issues. In
addition, the PRAC provides input to City staff, acting as an
advisory board on community interests concerning recreation
and parks.
The PRAC consists of seven (7) members. Members are appointed by
the City Council for three (3) year terms. The Chairperson and
Secretary are elected annually by the committee members at an
"organizational meeting" typically held in March. Meetings are
scheduled the first Thursday of January, March, May, September, and
November, with additional meetings called as needed throughout the
year.

MEMBERS' ROLE
The PRAC's work covers a broad range of issues which must be acted upon in a timely manner.
Occasionally, the formation of "task force" or "study groups" becomes necessary to look into or
work further on more complex issues. Participation in these groups is voluntary.
The City has enacted an ordinance under Minnesota law which grants a community the authority to
receive land or cash in lieu of land for purposes from residential and commercial/industrial
developers. This dedication is set depending on the size of the proposed development and whether
it is a residential or commercial/industrial development. If the amount of land is not sufficient to
support a park, a cash dedication is accepted. The amount of the cash dedication is based on the
type of residential or commercial/industrial unit. The Committee annually reviews dedication funds.
The cash collected goes into a fund for purchase and/or development of parks throughout the
community.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GUIDE
Required by the Metropolitan Council, the City maintains a "Comprehensive Guide Plan" for the city.
Neighborhood service areas are defined to help determining what park needs might be for each portion
of the City. A complete copy of the Plan is available on the City's web site at www.applevalleymn.gov .

VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION
The City is fortunate to have a number of citizens who step forward and volunteer to help in the
community. One prime example can be found on our various advisory committees and commissions
where we currently have over 40 active citizens dedicating their time and their talents to the betterment
of our community. National Volunteer Recognition Week was observed April 18-24, 2021, and the City
extended thanks to all our volunteers. At the April 22, 2021, City Council meeting the City celebrated
two volunteer members of the Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee who had earned their Ten Year

Burnsville, Rosemount, Lakeville, Eagan, Savage and Dakota County (Dakota
Woods). Cost per proposed site estimates were provided.
Public comments received through a city sponsored open house, email, voicemails
and letters there was a general mix of comments - staff estimates approx. 65
positive, some in the middle, and a few negative.
Cindi Dayus, 169 Strese Lane, Apple Valley — Lot of rules that correspond and a
lot of it will require self -policing. There is no way to effectively police it.
Believes there will be a lot of complaints. Questioned what is going to be done
about the non -authorized use of the current rinks; i.e., Hayes?
Chair Schulz, there are a couple concerns— dog waste and barking. The City will
need to rely on users to police the fellow users, that's the only way it will work.
Completely in favor of the idea, it would be a good addition to the city.

Director Carlson expressed that it sounds like the committee is in favor of moving
forward, and if the city council is onboard with the off -leash dog park area, the
city will have a resource available. Staff can then inform users the activity is not
acceptable in some areas but point them to area(s) it is acceptable. Education and

November 4, 2021
Director Carlson reviewed the Apple Valley pickleball court history, court locations,
neighboring community comparison statistics, and feedback received from the public
regarding the Hayes Park courts. General comments were "keep the courts open for use as
pickleball courts, closing the courts seems to be a waste of tax payer dollars, build an
adaptive playground for people with disabilities, develop a picnic area, plant natural
vegetation to encourage pollinators, build a covered outdoor hockey rink, build a skate park,
build a basketball court, and build an obstacle course."
At the September 30, 2021, joint meeting with City Council the Parks and Recreation
Advisory Committee asked the Council to consider engaging the community to explore
interest in a park bond referendum. If the referendum is approved it would likely include an
update of parks and trails, reinvestment in major recreation facilities such as Apple Valley
Community Center, Senior Center and both Arenas,; and park master plans for Alimagnet,
Kelley, Farquar and Redwood parks. Staff recommends the Hayes Park pickleball courts
remain locked and unused until a new Master Plan is developed to determine what the long-
term use of that space could be.
Diane Erickson of 185 Strese Lane, expressed her general thoughts regarding Hayes Park.
(Neighbors) have always had Hayes Park for the children. She reported an intensity that
hasn't been in the park before - hockey, lacrosse, soccer teams, etc. What she would like to
see is something that gives credence to kids that can't use the park.

ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Repurposing of Hayes Park Pickleball Court Area
STAFF CONTACT: DEPARTMENT/DIVISION:
Eric Carlson, Director Parks and Recreation Department
Action Requested:
Discuss the future use of the Hayes Park Pickleball Courts and make a recommendation for City Council
consideration in February/March 2022
Summary:
The City of Apple Valley first installed pickleball courts in Hayes Park in 2013. Since that time there
has been a number of public discussions with the adjacent neighborhood and community regarding the
courts and the noise produced from pickleball. Some neighbors/residents enjoy the pickleball activity in
the park while others find the noise to be unacceptable.
The City of Apple Valley has pickleball courts at the following locations:

When the Hayes Park pickleball courts were constructed in 2013, little was known about the potential
impact noise from the sport may have on adjacent neighbors. Even today there are no known State or
County laws/rules, or City ordinances that address how close a park amenity can be built to an existing
property line.
In June of 2018 the City Council authorized a sound attenuation study of the pickleball courts and found
that the noise produced at the courts was within the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) noise
guidelines. In an effort to improve the situation, the City Council directed staff to install a noise reducing
barrier system in 2019 to help alleviate some of the noise concerns. A subsequent sound attenuation
study was performed in June of 2019 which showed that the noise had been reduced by about 23-25%
and remained well within MPCA guidelines.
In March of 2019, the City Council passed a resolution that asked staff to research a new location and
anticipated construction costs for replacement pickleball courts and in April of this year awarded a
contract for the construction of eight (8) new pickleball courts at Johnny Cake Ridge West Park
(JCRWP). Based on the fact that the Council's direction was to construct replacement courts the Hayes
Park pickleball courts were closed once the JCRWP courts opened for play in September.
In their March 2019 resolution, the Council directed that a meeting of adjacent neighbors be held so
residents could propose alternate uses for the Hayes Park pickleball courts should the courts be relocated.
On Tuesday, September 28th we hosted an open house to solicit input from neighbors/residents. Some of
the feedback we received includes:
• Keep the courts open for use as pickleball courts
• Closing the courts seems to be a waste of tax payers dollars
• Build an adaptive playground for people with disabilities
• Develop a picnic area with tables, benches, shelters
• Plant natural vegetation to encourage pollinators
• Build a covered outdoor hockey rink
• Build a skate park
• Build a basketball court
• Build an obstacle course
At the Open House meeting both those for and against pickleball at Hayes Park seemed to have a good
conversation trying to understand each other's position. Ultimately the Park & Recreation Advisory
Committee (PRAC) must make a recommendation on what the future use of the space may be which the
City Council will review prior to making a decision in February/March 2022.
As the PRAC is aware, on Thursday, September 30th the City Council held a joint meeting to discuss
the Future of the Parks and Recreation System. The Council provided consensus direction to the PRAC
and staff to begin a process to engage the community and explore if there is support for a Parks Bond
Referendum that would:
Update our community and neighborhood parks and trail system
Reinvest in our major recreational facilities which include the community center, senior center,
aquatics, and arenas
Redesign/construct new park master plans for Alimagnet, Kelley, Farquar, and Redwood parks
Subsequently, the City has released a Request for Proposal (RFP) for architectural design services to
develop concept plans for the future of the Apple Valley Community Center, Senior Center, and both
arenas.
Per the request of the PRAC at your November 4th meeting staff has researched the anticipated cost to
convert the space to badminton courts which is as follows:
Item
Anticipated Investment
Resurface Courts
$27,500
Wind Screen
$15,500
Court/Net Modification
$4,900
Total
$47,700
Given that we will be developing a vision for the future of the facility and surround park area, it is
recommended that the current pickleball courts be left vacant and locked until a new master plan for the
park is developed.
