defining the quality and safety of living in Lakeville. The Comprehensive Plan goals and policies serve to direct planning implementation and maintenance of Lakeville’s community facilities. • TRANSPORTATION Transportation issues are growing concerns within Lakeville due to the changing character of the City and the region. In this respect, transportation planning is a critical element of the City’s overall Comprehensive Plan. Full attention must be given to all modes of transportation within the City to ensure a well balanced and functional transportation system. Additionally, the transportation system must be responsive to the City’s land use planning to identify and address uses that will generate the service needs. Within the context of these considerations, the Comprehensive Plan has established goals and policies to guide future transportation planning. • CITY GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATION As a consequence of the implementation aspects of the Lakeville Comprehensive Plan, operational and administrative goals and policies were also defined in the 1998 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan. The administrative goals and policies focused on City management strategies related to land use development and the provision of quality public facilities and services. Again, the City is required to review and update the Comprehensive Plan in 2008. As part of that effort, the above issues will be evaluated to reflect the current state of the community. However, for the purpose of this topic area plan, the general direction provided by these statements shall be continued.

System Standards & Policies Introduction The Lakeville Comprehensive Plan has established a broad range of goals and policies intended to guide community growth through 2020. The system standards and policies that follow specifically focus on the planning and development of the Lakeville Parks, Trails and Open Space System and advance the benchmark date to 2030 consistent with the Regional Framework. Parks, Trails, Open Space and Recreational System Planning Standards: 1. Recreation/parks/trails system planning in the City of Lakeville shall be a dynamic process that organizes and addresses all activities in a comprehensive manner. 2. Lakeville Parks, Trails and Open Space plan shall utilize a needs assessment process to develop goals and priorities for programs, acquisition, development, and use of parks, conservancy open space areas and recreational facilities. Information about the City’s present and future park and recreation needs will be collected and evaluated on a regular basis, in part through bi-annual meetings with all major athletic associations or other park user groups. 3. The various components of the Lakeville parks, trails, and open space system shall be integrated in a manner that maximizes the effect of existing facilities, economizes future investments and reduces duplication of facilities and services where possible. Policies: 1. Because the comprehensive planning process is a continuous cycle, the City will review the Parks, Trails and Open Space Plan periodically, including standards, policies, and inventory. A comprehensive update of the System Plan will occur every five years. 2. Planning for recreation programs and new physical facilities will begin prior to land being developed for residential, commercial, and industrial activities as part of the subdivision review process. The City will prepare a master plan for each component of the park and trail system that will be the basis for site acquisition, development and use. Incorporation of appropriate parks and/or recreational facilitates will be analyzed as a part of the initial plat review process. Planners will make maximum use of existing information and acquire new data as needed. City of Lakeville, Minnesota Chapter Five 2006 Comprehensive Parks, Trails, & Open Space Plan Page 81
