lake frontage, waterways, ponds, streams, deciduous and conifer forests, native prairie, bluffs, other unique vegetative associations, or areas of rugged topography with quality views and vistas. 9. Joint use agreements between the City of Lakeville and other governmental entities will be pursued and developed when appropriate. 10. Private development of recreational activities shall be encouraged so as to limit the need for public acquisitions. If such facilities are relied upon, however, assurance for public or semi-public access shall be established. Standards - Park Development: 1. The City shall develop a comprehensive system of safe, aesthetically pleasing parks, playgrounds, trails, greenway corridors and conservancy open space areas geographically located throughout the community which offer a full variety of facilities and programs to all residents of the City. 2. Development of recreation facilities shall be appropriate to the areas in which they are located, both with respect to their integration into the social characteristics/physical setting and the remainder of the City’s park system and to their potential for creating conflicts with neighboring property owners. Policies - Park Development: 1. Every reasonable effort will be made to improve and expand parks located in developed areas with inadequate facilities, utilizing existing City properties where possible. 2. Wherever practical, parks will include conservancy open space areas/ greenways that preserve and protect City forests, wetlands, natural areas, lakes, streams and cultural or historical resources within park areas. 3. Wherever possible, active use recreation areas should be designed for diverse uses during all seasons of the year. 4. Park and playground buildings and sites shall, to the extent possible, be compatible with surrounding urban or rural activities in regard to scale, design, color, setback and materials. 5. Park development shall minimize impact upon adjoining development through provision for, but not limited to: a. Adequate off-street parking. b. Appropriate orientation and location of activity areas and buildings. c. Screening, buffering and landscaping. City of Lakeville, Minnesota Chapter Five 2006 Comprehensive Parks, Trails, & Open Space Plan Page 86
d. Adequate setbacks and physical separation. e. Appropriate lighting (90-degree, full cut-off). 6. Continued or full development of existing parks and recreation facilities in the City will be considered prior to developing new facilities. 7. Facility development and related services will be coordinated with the needs of community residents and related services as provided by the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Advisory Committee, athletic associations, civic groups, and organizations. 8. Park planning and construction will be associated with the definitions of park classification, regulation dimensions, and development standards. 9. Attempts will be made to preserve a site’s inherent physical amenities and attributes when planning and developing park facilities. 10. Park accessibility will be maximized by the park site design and planning to best serve area residents. 11. The long term costs of maintenance and operation in a facility’s design and development will be considered in park planning. 12. Resident preference will be considered on the utilization of park facilities located in Lakeville under municipal management and operation. 13. The City shall protect and preserve unique natural and historic resources for public enjoyment. 14. Beautification and aesthetic enhancement of public facilities and open spaces shall be encouraged through placement of public art. Park Facility Purpose & Design Standards - Community Parks: 1. Large-scale facilities offering a diversity of environmental features and capabilities developed for unique community recreational activities and special events shall be designated as community parks. 2. Community parks shall be of at least 25 acres which provide passive recreation based upon natural site amenities (lakes, rivers, woods, etc.) and appeal to the City-wide population. Area residents most often drive to these sites, therefore parking is necessary. City of Lakeville, Minnesota Chapter Five 2006 Comprehensive Parks, Trails, & Open Space Plan Page 87
