Park Planning District 6 District 6 is located in the center of the City. The district boundaries include CSAH 50 on the west and south, 185 th Street and Dodd Boulevard on the north, with Highview and Holyoke Avenues on the east. 2020 Land Use Plan Significant development of District 6 has occurred since the Parks, Trails and Open Space Plan was last updated in 1999. The predominant land use in the district is single family and medium density residential uses south of 185 th Street, east of CSAH 50 and west of Ipava Avenue, which is based on the Central District Area Plan. Lakeville North High School, Heritage Commons, a commercial center located at the corner of Dodd Boulevard and CSAH 50 and the Lakeville City Hall and Dakota County Heritage Library are located in the southern portion of the District. The 2020 Land Use Plan recognizes the natural features within District 6 and proposes establishment of a significant greenway as part of the Central District Area Plan to protect the natural areas, delineating land use boundaries, and providing a trail that will connect the various neighborhoods and downtown Lakeville. The 2020 Land Use Plan recommends the continued development of Heritage Commons with medium density residential land uses at its periphery. Low and low to medium density residential land uses are proposed through the balance of the district. Land use development is consistent with the Land Use Plan and will increase the population to an estimated 6,246 by 2020. Existing Park and School Facilities District 6 has no neighborhood parks. The Greenway mini-park, King community playfield, Ames hockey arena, and three schools are located within the district to provide active recreation areas.

SPECIAL USE: Total Acres Active Acres Lakeville Ames Arena 3.7 3.7 TOTAL DISTRICT 6 RECREATION 250.09 118.8-141.3 AREAS: Comparison With City Standards City standards suggests between 2.5 to 3.5 acres of active neighborhood parks per 1,000 people. Over the next 15 years, District 6 will continue to experience significant changes in land use and population. Through future land use development, the 2020 population will increase to approximately 6,246. Based on City park standards, the 2020 population will create a demand for between 15.6 and 21.8 acres of active neighborhood parks. While the district has significant recreational land use facilities, they are not designed as neighborhood recreation facilities. Lake Marion Elementary provides the only playground equipment within District 6. In response to the District 6 neighborhood park needs, two mini parks/greenway linear search areas have been identified. These search areas are intended to identify locations of active recreation areas that will be integrated with the greenway corridor proposed throughout the district. A future neighborhood park south of 185 th Street and east of Dodd Boulevard is also planned as part of this system for areas that will not develop until after 2010. The combination of the neighborhood parks, mini parks, greenway linear parks, school district facilities and greenway conservancy areas will establish a unique park system in District 6 blending both passive and active park opportunities with greenway trail corridors. Recommendations The following recommendations are offered to address the park needs in District 6: 1. The creation of greenways through District 6 shall include both environmentally sensitive features as well as upland areas that will provide for trail construction and active linear or mini parks. Two mini-park and one neighborhood park search areas are recommended to provide a balanced distribution of active park facilities throughout District 6. The greenways and linear parks are intended to be a major land use design component of the Heritage Commons area. The greenway corridor will provide protection to environmental resources, and an attractive trailway that will connect Heritage Commons with nearby residential neighborhoods. 2. Within District 6, the following trail improvements will be considered: a. Highview Avenue and Holyoke Avenue are planned as parkway streets by the Transportation Plan. Significant MPTWs are to be provided along both sides of parkway streets. b. Plan for MPTWs on both sides of Dodd Boulevard in conjunction with any Dakota County improvements of the roadway.
