Info

Park Planning District 7 District 7 is located in the east central portion of Lakeville. The District 7 boundaries include Highview and Holyoke Avenues on the west, Dodd Boulevard on the north, Cedar Avenue and the City’s eastern boundary on the east, and 200 th and 202 nd Streets on the south. 2020 Land Use Plan Most of District 7 lies outside the City’s current MUSA and MUSA Expansion Area boundaries and is undeveloped. MUSA will be extended across the northern portion of District 7 in 2005 and a second MUSA expansion in both west and south areas of the district is anticipated in 2010. The balance of District 7 will remain within the urban reserve until some time after 2020, which will be considered as part of the City’s 2008 Comprehensive Plan update. The 2020 Land Use Plan proposes a variety of residential land use types and densities within the MUSA expansion areas. Rural land use will remain predominant in the urban reserve areas. The introduction of urban development in District 7 will significantly increase the population to 6,420 by year 2020. The new land use and population will result in the need for new neighborhood parks in District 7. Existing Park Facilities Currently District 7 does not contain any City parks. Cherryview, Aronson, and King Parks are located near the boundaries of District 7. These facilities are separated from District 7 by significant roadways that will limit access to these existing facilities. Comparison With City Standards City standards suggest 2.5 to 3.5 acres of active neighborhood park land per 1,000 people. Based on anticipated population growth in District 7, between 16 and 25 acres of new active neighborhood parks should be established. Recommendations The following recommendations are offered to address the park and trail needs in District 7: 1. Neighborhood park search areas are proposed in both the north and south portions of District 7. The park locations should be centralized within the new development areas to maximize the service areas. The north search area should also be located adjacent to the planned greenway corridor that follows the creek from the City’s wetland bank at Ipava Avenue and 185 th Street east to the City’s east boundary. 2. A community playfield search area has been identified in the District 7 urban reserve area. As league play expands, the need for additional playfields will create the need for a new community playfield site. Acquisition of land outside the MUSA should reduce the purchase costs and allow for facility development prior to urban growth in the area. Through this strategy, the community playfield City of Lakeville, Minnesota Chapter Six 2006 Comprehensive Parks, Trails, & Open Space Plan Page 157
can be compatibly blended with future urban development. The City should maintain contact with school district officials regarding the potential need for additional school facilities in this area of the City and the opportunity for joint development efforts. 3. Within District 7, the following trail improvements will be considered: a. MPTWs along both sides of Cedar Avenue will provide trail corridors through District 7 that may be circuited back into the more fully developed portions of the City via both existing and future streets. b. Highview and Holyoke have been identified in the Comprehensive Transportation Plan as a parkway corridor. Trail components will be an integral part of the parkway design. c. Future east-west streets will include 185 th Street, 195 th Street, and 202 nd Street. Trails will be included in the designs of the major streets. 4. Two tributaries flow through District 7. These tributaries, while not specifically named, are protected by the City’s shoreland regulations. A third tributary extends from Cedar Avenue east to the City of Farmington and is identified as a future corridor by the Farmington Park and Trail Plan. These tributaries provide opportunity areas for future greenways within District 7. City of Lakeville, Minnesota Chapter Six 2006 Comprehensive Parks, Trails, & Open Space Plan Page 158
