Council President Victor Tedesco and Members of the St. Paul City Coun�il Seventh Floor City Hall St. Paul , MN 55102 Re: TRANSMITTAL OF THE PLANNING COMM;ZSSION REVIEW OF THE BATTLE CREEK REGIONAL PARK JOINT MASTER PLAN ;TO THE CITY COUNCIL Dear President Tedesco and Members o�' the City Council : On June 25, 1982, the Planning Commission passed Resolution No. 82-23 approving the Battle Creek Master Pl�n as consistent with the St. Paul Comprehensive Plan contingent upon the removal of the proposed barge fleeting area owned by the Port Authority froRn within the boundaries of the park unless it is determined by the City ;Council , upon completion of an Environmental Impact Statement, tha�+ this area will not be used for a barge fleeting basin. As a regional park, the Battle Cree�C Regional Park is being planned and developed cooperatively by the City of St. Pa�l and Ramsey County, primarily with funds provided by Regional Parks grants firom the Metropolitan Council . The City will have operational responsibility for� the Indian f�lounds Park and Fish Hatchery Lake areas, and Ramsey County will have ;operational responsibility for the Battle Creek and Pig's Eye Lake areas. Because of the storm water runoff �nd erosion problems in the Battle Creek watershed, it is also being planne� and developed in cooperation with the Ramsey/Washington County Watershed! District. The Planning Commission found the ;Battle Creek Regional Park Master Plan to be consistent with the following �lements of the St. Paul Comprehensive Plan: The Parks and Recreation Plan, The Bicycle Plan, The District 1 Plan, and The District 4 Plan. The Commiss�on also found the plan to be consistent with the River Corridor Plan, except f�r the issue of the barge fleeting basin, which is addressed in the attache� resolution. The resolution reflects the final wording of the River Corridbr Plan regarding the Environmental Impact Statement for the barge fleeting ;basin. With the condition regarding the !proposed barge fleeting basin, the Planning Commission recommends to the Cit�r Council adoption of the Battle Creek Regional Park Joint Master Plan. I am tr�nsmitting its findings to you for your consideration. . ^ � June 30 1982 � � , Page 2 Subsequent to the Planning Comrihission action, the Board of Ramsey County Commissioners adopted an amendr�ent to the Battle Creek Regional Park Master Plan which removes the proposed barge fleeting basin at river mile 834.0 from within the boundaries of t'�,he park if, upon completion of the Environmental Impact Statement, it is determihed by the City Council that appropriate permits and the development of the basin should be pursued, and the necessary permits are obtained. In my opinion, t�nis resolves the conflict between the Battle Creek Park Plan and the St. Pau� Comprehensive Plan.

PF�UL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INTRODUCTION The Battle Creek Park Master Planihas been prepared by the City of St. Paul and Ramsey County, in accordance �rith the Recreation Open Space Policy Plan of the Metropolitan Council. The� plan consolidates four elements of the regional park and open space system identified in the St. Paul Comprehensive Plan: 1) • Battle Creek; 2) Fish Hatchery La�Ce; 3) Indian Mounds Park; and 4) Pigs Eye � � Lake. The joint master plan provndes development detail for all sections of the Battle Creek Regional Park except the Pigs Eye Lake section, which is not yet at the development stage. Delvelopment information for the Pigs Eye Lake section will be submitted later ih an amendment to the plan. The Battle Creek Regional Park Ma�ter Plan must be approved by: 1. Ramsey County Board of Cbrr�nissioners 2. St. Paul City Council � a. St. Paul Planning Commission b. District Councils l and 4 3. Metropolitan Council Staff findings and recommendatior�s regarding the plan's consistency with the St: Paul Comprehensive Plan and regarding important issues of planning concern are outlined in this staff report�.� � AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, �hapter 462, Section 462.356, Subdivision 2, Compliance with Plan. , "After a ¢omprehensive municipal plan or section thereof has been recommended by the plan�ing agency and a copy filed with the governing - body, no...capital improvement (�hall be) authorized by the municipality. ..until � after the planning agency has rel✓iewed the proposed.. .capital improvement and reported in writing to the governing body. ..its findings as to compliance of the proposed improvement with th�e comprehensive municipal plan." � � � I �` ' {, � � � . � � June 10, 1982 � Page 2 BA R ND CKG OU Planning for the Battle Creek Regional Park began with acquisition plans in 1975. Conceptual development planning for the park began in 1978, including work done for both the St. Paul Rive,'r Corridor Plan and the Battle Creek Watershed Plan. Comments on the Battle Creek �Regional Park Master Plan now under review► have been received from the District� 1 and District 4 Co�nunity Councils, the Maplewood City Council, and other ir�terested groups and individuals. Following - Planning Commission action, the City± Council will hold a public hearing, approve the final plan, and forward it to th�e Metropolitan Council Parks and Open Space Corr�ni si son. � The park will be a total of 2207 acr�es in area, including the 511 acre Pigs Eye Lake and the 38 acre Fish Hatch�ry Lake. Only about 100 acres remain to be acquired. The City will have operational responsibility for two sections of the park: the 97 acre Indian Mo�nds Park and the 105 acre Fish Hatchery Lake area. Ramsey County will have operational responsibility for the Battle Creek and Pigs Eye Lake sections, a��though the City will continue maintenance and operational responsibility for the two areas it currently owns within the Battle Creek section until they are; developed as proposed. . : The City and the County will obtain� most of the funds for the rehabilitation and development of facilities in thie park through Regional Parks grants from the Metropolitan Council. The res�, will be provided through the Great River Road_ Project - MNIDOT and through �he Battle Creek Watershed Project. . _ . DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY � � , � Battle Creek Section � 1. Group Picnic Area developed at; northeast corner of Upper Afton Road and l�cKnight Road: group shelters; game fields, trails to connect to rest of _ park, 4 small ponds as part of� Battle Creek Watershed District project. 2. Swimning Area developed at sou;theast corner of Upper Afton Road and McKnight Road. � _ 3. Trail Head and Picnic Area devieloped on east side of McKnight Road south of swimming area: primary ar�a for hiking/skiing and biking trails. � 4. Winter Sports Area bounded by �Upper and Lower Afton Roads, Winthrop Street and Battle Creek Road to be improved: lighting, improved slopes,-cross- country ski trails. - 5. Bluff Picnic Area developed between Highway 61 and Battle Creek Road. 6. Trail Head/Visitor Center bui,9t just north of Bluff Picnic Area: trails to Pigs Eye Lake, Battle Cree�C ravine, the bluff area, Fish Hatchery Lake; view of river. � . 7. Lower Creek Picnic Area to be,' restored by Battle Creek Watershed Project. � � June 10, 1982 Page 3 Indian Mounds Park Section 8. Indian Mounds Park will be improved: rehabilitation of pavilion building, biking and hiking paths constr cted with bridge over Warner Road to connect to Fish Hatchery Lake and Batt�e Creek paths. Fish Hatchery Lake Section , 9. Fish Hatchery Lake developed a$ trail corridor between Indian Mounds and Battle Creek sections. � , Pigs Eye Lake Section � 10. Pigs Eye Lake area developmentiwill be limited to passive recreational use due to the environmentallyisensitive nature of much of the site: hiking trails, MN DNR management of L�ron rookery as scientific and natural area. FINDINGS 1. The Parks and Recreation Plan,� adopted as part of the Comprehensive Plan on September 18, 1979, recomme!nds that the county and the Metropolitan Council share with the City thie responsibility for acquisition, development, operation, and programning of regional parks, including Mounds Park, Battle Creek/Fish Hatchery, and PigsiEye. The Battle Creek Regional Park Master - P-lan is consistent with this. � . - - 2. The� Parks and Recreation Plan proposes that Battle Creek and existing park areas be rehabilitated only afiter storm water runoff and erosion problems have been solved in the Battl� Creek watershed. The Ramsey/ Washington County Watershed District hasicooperated extensively in the development o�f the Battle Creek Park Plan� and a project to control runoff and erosion problems is in progress. ' � 3. The Parks and Recreation Planiproposes, as does the Battle Creek Park Plan, that the Fish Hatchery area be developed as a trail corridor between Mounds - � Park, Battle Creek Park and PSgs Eye. 4. � The hiking/skiing and biking trails proposed in the Battle Creek Park Plan `are consistent with the recom�nendations of the Parks and Recreation Plan. � - 5. The Parks and Recreation Plan� recorr�nends that the City work with the County in developing interpretive fa�Cilities and a passive recreation area in the Pig's Eye Lake Section th�at is confined to the headwaters area to reduce negative human impact on the �delicate habitats of the downstream peninsula. This is also the intent of th��e Battle Creek Park Plan, although the details _ of such a development have nait yet been provided. � 6. The Parks and Recreation Pla � recommends that the old county ski area at Battle Creek Park be upgrade� as necessary, which is proposed in the Battle Creek Park Plan. . i � � . � � V� � � � � June 10, 1982 P 4 age , 7. The Bicycle Plan, adopted as par� of the Comprehensive Plan on August 22, 1978, recommends that separate bncycle and pedestrian paths be constructed along Battle Creek, with carefuliattention to storm drainage considerations. It also recommends that the desi;gn speed, with radius of curvature, surface, etc. of all bike paths built beiof a quality that will insure usage. The bike paths will be carefully planned, with appropriate coordination with the Ramsey/Washington County Wa�ershed Distric�t. The bike trails that will connect the Indian Mounds, ;Fish Hatchery Lake, and Battle Creek sectiqns of the park is exactly the sortiof thing encouraged by the Bicycle Plan. 8. The Mississippi River Corridor iPlan, adopted as part of the Comprehensive Plan on July 30, 1981, states �hat park improvements along Battle Creek will take place following the implementation of ineasures to correct the creek's hydrological problems, ;and that park development in the Pig's Eye area will be interpretive and �assive in character and confined to the headwaters area. As noted in previous findings, the Battle Creek Park Plan is consistent with this. � It is also consistent with the pedestrian/ bicycle trail system outlined ;in the River Corridor Plan. 9. The Pig's Eye Coalition, in alletter reviewing the Battle Creek Park Plan, recorrenends that the 43 acre ar�ea immediately west of Fish Hatchery Lake, which the River Corridor Planiproposes for industrial use, be included within the boundaries of the park if it is deemed unsuitable for industrial ' use. This recommendation hasibeen accepted by the Public Works/Parks and Recreation Comnittee of the R�amsey County Board as an amendment to the Battle Creek Park Plan. The ,hnajority of the area is currently zoned residential, and would have to be rezoned ;before being used for an industrial park. If the City Council determin�s that the area will not be developed as an industrial park according to;the standards outlined in the River Corridor Plan, including filling to insure safety from flooding and landscaping to insure the safe venting of toxic gases from the underlying landfill, � the inclusion of this are in! the regional park would be consistent with the River Corridor Plan. 10. The Mississippi River Corri�or Plan shows the park in the extreme northwest corner of the Pig's Eye Lake area extending to Childs Road; it shows a bikeway and access road to Serve the Pig's Eye area and interpretive center coming through this property, which is currently owned by the City. The property is presently used by the Division of Parks and Recreation for 'a chipper and elm tree disp�osal. The Public Works/Parks and Recreation Committee of the Ramsey County Board has accepted the following as an amend- ment to the Battle Creek P�rk Plan: Change the boundary o�' the Pigs Eye Lake section between the MWCC property and the! Milwaukee Road Railroad property to include . Battle Creek and the ;�and east of Battle Creek (see attached map) . . . � - i June 10, 1982 Page 5 � Thi w uld v th s o lea e e rest of thil area west to Childs Road within th � , , e St. Paul Park System, and access �to the headwaters area would be provided across this St. Paul park land. �The Battle Creek Park Plan, with the above amendment, is consistent with th� River Corridor Plan regarding this area. The area currently used for the �hipper operation can be added to the regional park later, when it is �o longer needed by the City. - 11. The Mississippi River Corridor Phan states the ash settling ponds now __ operated by the Metropolitan Wasjte Control Commission on MWCC property . east of east levee wall will be 5ealed, that the area will become:part of the Pig's Eye open space syst,�m, and that any tertiary treatment expansion outside the levee wall would. be �to the south of the levee wall, adjacent to the river. Not� all of the MW�CE property east of the east levee wall, shown as part of the regional park in the River Corridor Plan, is included _ within the boundaries of the park by the Battle Creek Park Plan. Both __the MWCC and regional parks areiguided by the Metropolitan Council. The Battle Creek Park Plan places the boundary between the park and MWCC property � such that the property needed fdr. the Pig's Eye trail system is included within the park and the propert,� needed by the MWCC for their existing ash basins. The remainder of the MWCC property in this area can be added _ . to the_ regional park in the fut�re, when it is no longer needed by the MWCG. and the Metropolitan Counc 1 considers the transfer of the land to - - --- _the-�regional park appropriate. The way this area is handled by the Battle � � Creek Plan is consistent with tl�e River Corridor Plan. 12. The St. Paul Port Authority, in! a letter reviewing the Battle Creek Plan, noted that the proposed b arge f�eeting area owned by the Port Authority should not be included within �the park boundaries. The River Corridor Plan shows this area as outside� of the boundaries of the regional park; the Battle Creek Park Plan is inconsistent with this. The addition of this area to the regional park� �at a later date, when and if it is determined by the City Council that this a,rea will not be used for a barge fleeting _ basin, would be consistent withi the River Corridor Plan. - , _ 13. The bike and pedestrian paths. aind general improvements for Indian Mounds Park are consistent with the Diistrict 4 Plan, adopted as part of the City's Comprehensive Plan on December �4,. 1979. The District 4 Community Council has reviewed and approved the Battle Creek Park Plan. � -�14. The District 1 Plan, adopted as part of the Comprehensive Plan on December 15,� 1980, states that "the Dis�rict Council will support needed improvements at Battle Creek Park after Bat le Creek has been stabalized and the erosion , problem controlled" . ..and "su�ports the Ramsey County - St. Paul land exchange to put the entire Bat�le Creek (section of the) Park under the _ ownership and management of th� County." The Battle Creek Park Plan is . . in conformance with the DistriCt 1 .Plan. i -_ . � � � t� ` � � . June 10, 1982 Page 6 � STAFF E M E � R CO M NDATION The staff recommends that the Planning �Commission find that the Battle Creek . Regional Park Joint Master Plan is con�istent with the Comprehensive Plan con- tingent upon the removal of the propos d barge fleeting area owned by the Port � Authority from within the boundaries o� the park.

All ;�etters of response are attached�herea�ter The main issues which were identif,�ied are: 1 :) Cor,munity Garden 5�'ite 2. ) Swimming Pool � 3. ) Boundaries in the �Pigs Eye Lake and Fish Fiatchery Lake Sections � 4. ) Maplewood City Council Concerns ' « , 1 . } Co�u^�unity Garden Site Several letters and numerous' comments at the Public InforTr�ation Meeting expressed oppositien to the ;�limination of the corr�nunity gardens in the long term development concepit for Battle Creek Regional Park. The community gardens were d�egun at Battle Creek Regional Park as an interim use of part of the park. The gardens may continue as an interim use until that site ;is developed as proposed in the Master Plan. Replacement sites will be sought within non-regional park sites. The District 1 Cormunity Council of St. Paul , in the enc�osed letter of December 15, 1981 , recommen�ied that a corrmittee be formed to locate a site suitable for gardening; on an on-going basis to replace the Battle Creek site. RECOMMENDAT � ION• � That Ramsey County form a commi Itee to locat replace the Battle Creek site. � e a garden�ng site suitable to � 2. Swimmi � ) ng Facility , . Several residents at the p�blic information meeting and the Maplewood City Council expressed opp�sition to the wave-action pool alternative for the swimning facility.; Concern was expressed that the pool would generate greatly increased� activity in the area and this activity would result in increased traffiic and demands upon City of Maplewood services such as police, paramedics;, and street improvements. The Master Plan recomnend� that a swirr�ning area be developed in Battle Creek Regional Park. Twoioptions are recomnended: 1 ) a man-made pond, and 2) wave-action pool . �Neither option is recomnended in the Master Plan. The Master Plan st�tes that a feasibility study should be con- ducted to determine wheth�r a wave-action pool or man-made pool should be constructed. The recent reductions in �fiunding for development in regiona] parks will �ndoubtedly delay the devielopment schedule proposed in the Master Plan C. I .P. The swimring faci;lity will likely be delayed until 1984 at the earliest. _1_ _ . � RECOMM�NDATION: � That no change be made ir► the Master Plan as a result of the Maplewood City Council motion. � The Maplewood City Council action does not necessitate any change in the Master Plan. It should be� noted that the implementing agency, Ramsey County, is responsible �or operational costs of the Regional Park, and that the City's of Maplewood and St. Paul should provide certain �municipal services, such as streets and utilities on the same basis as they would be prpvided for any property owner within the municipality. . » . - � � � � � , � -4- . _ , _.. ___..._ _.

We are not proposing any corrections or amendments to the plan. The following comments are intended to highlight points that may require ;further discussion as the pian is impl ernented. , Section V.E. , p� 24-25 proposes brid�ing 'fH 61 and the �ailroad to allow trail- access to the Pig's 'Eye Lake section; in 10 or 15 years, efter other sections - of the park are fully developed. We agree that trail access to the Pjg's Eye area would significantly enhance the regional park's potential for n8ture interpretation service. BuL bridging TH 61 and the railroad may not be fleasible. A previous study of a pedestrian bridge found the cost prohi�itive, �and came up with no design that was enviror►- mentally acceptable. - Section YI .B.2 . 25 proposes th�t Ramsey County request reconveyance of 3 parce s of extess R/W to the count� for inclusion in the regional park. Once Mn/DOT has established permanent R�%W requirements, we will welcome discussion of this praposal . Section YII.A.7, F. 35 states tha� the lower creek picnic area will have parking ca�acity for 45 cars. The actual; capacity ma;� vary according to the design of the lot, its nesthetic treatment,; �nd th� kinds of vehicles and vehicle move_ ments allowed there. /�(r: �F-qr.:'(),�p.�ffY�li'� F►►;/�lf�t'f► ..�;' �a�sey County parks an� Recr�ation Depar?m ent , �lanniny and Ceve�oprent Offite • Sept�.ber l7, 1981 ' Page 7w� .

Mn/DOT - Highway 61 � Mn/DOT is cu rrently �lanning to reconstruct Hwy. 61 in 1983, from I-94 to I-494. The recorlstruction will limit access on and off Hwy. 61 � in the a�rk vicinit , to' Burns Avenue and Lower Afton Road, where p Y � signalized intersections' will be provided. Access to the park has been planned accordingly. � The reconstruction plans will also include bicycle paths paralleling the highway on each side. These paths will c ross the highway at three � points: a bridge und�r the highway at Battle Creek, at grade crossing � at Burns Avenue, and!a bridge over Warner Road from Indian Mounds Park � ta Fish Hatchery Lake. The plans for these bike paths are being coordin- � ated with the RamseyjCounty and St. Paul Parks L�e�artments. The plans for neconstruction can be accommodated without any addi- � tional right-of-wayifrom the park. Excess highway right-of-way may be available to be ad�'ed to the park after a determination is made as to � the ri ht-of-wa n�eds for the reconstruction (see Acquisition Section). 9 Y � 2. Battle Creek Water�shed Plan � � -8- � � The Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District has completed its plan for the restoration of Bat�le Creek. The plan involves channel � restoration and storm-water starage. � The Public Hearing on the! plan will be held on February 24, 1981 . After that hearing, the Board bf Managers of the District will make � the decision whether to proce�d with the project. The effect of the plan on the park is two-fold. First, the channel � stabilization work will restore the eroded channel , thus improving the parks resources and attractirreness. Secondly, an area of approximately � 40 acres, just u stream of McKnight Road will be utilized as a storm- p � water storage basin. The e�fect of this basin will be miai�nal on park resources or attractiveness!, however, it will limit development in the � basin to facilities which a�re not subject to flood damage. The impact of costs of the plan are reflected in the Capital � Improvement Program. Ass�ssments and credits for both the St. Paul and . Ramsey County Parks Depar�ment's have been calculated and have been � incorporated into the C,i.P. � 3. Sewers The Metropolitan Waste Control Comnission interceptor sewer which rfollows the course of Balttle Creek has been damaged or threatened on many occasions over the past years. Th at problem will be corrected � by the channel stabiliz!ation project of the Watershed District. � Nothing proposed ait the present time at the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission Tre�tment Plant will impact the park. � IV.

JUSTIFICATION A. Social Context � Battle Creek Reg�onal Park stretches through many areas that are quite different in populat,non characteristics. Attached is a map of St. Paul � census tracts alon� !with data sheets covering some of those tracts. The � tracts surrounding Sattle Creek are outlined. These tracts can be arranged in three sub-group5 - A, B, C - to reflect the differences within the � -10- � � � general Battle Creek ser ice area. Area D is Maplewood. Selected pieces of data for these three areas are as follows : � Category Ar�ea A Area B Area C Area D � Population (1978) 9,981 11 ,567 9,061 3,490 Number of � Households (1978) 3,763 4,109 3,052 1 ,147 Persons/Household .65 2.82 2.97 3.21 � Household Income ($) 15 600 17,800 18,900 Percent Households � With Children 6.8 39.9 46.0 Percent Households � With Retired Heads 8.0 17.7 11 .8 Percent Households � Owner-Occupied 4.9 64.0 49.5 Area A, which is closes to the Mounds section of the park, is older and � less affluent. Over a qwarter of the households have retired heads and the percent of households with children is lowest. This indicates the Mounds section of the park should emphasize facilities appropriate for � this population - paths, benches, viewpoints , good lighting and everything totally accessible to th� elderly and handicapped. Area B, which lies acros the northern section of Battle Creek, has slightly � larger households , fewer retired heads and more money. It appears to be a middle-aged, middle-cl ss area. The whole range of re�ional park facilities appeals to this group of people, a little less so with swimning, bicycle � paths and skiing (both d wnhill and cross-country). Area C, which makes up t e southern portion of the service area, is probably the most active group. amilies and households are somewhat larger and � income is again higher. The most striking differences are in the small percentage of households with retired heads and the roughly 50-50 split of owners and renters. The people will use all park facilities very heavily, so the eastern parts of he park should be designed with them in mind. � Trails and a swimming fa�ility will be particularly impo rtant. The im- portance of a swirrming f�cility grows as you go further east. � Area D, is the Maplewood' section. Figures shown are from the 1980 Census. The other Figures are unavailable. Generally, Area D would be similar to Area C except less renters. � , � I -11- � � � � B. Relation To Other Areas 1 . State � a.

Private Recreation � A Racquetball Club is proposed on the vacant tract of land on Upper Afton, 1/4 mile ea5t of McKnight Road. This is the 3.5 acre � part of the "Jordan 40" which was unavailable for ourchase. The proposed development isinot finalized at this time, however, a � previous plan included j'a health club and anticipated jogging on park � trails. This would be;compatible with park plans, however, no exclusive use of trails would be permitted. � C. Service Area In the process of doi;h�g the Syst�n Plan, Metro established service � areas for some facilities at Battle Creek Regional Park. Two types of service areas have been !defined: Primary (PSA) - those districts pro- 1 ; viding over 10% of a fa�i�lity's use; and Secondary (SSA) - those districts � providing between 2� arjd TOq of a facility's use. Maps 5A through 5D show the PSA and SSA for p�cnic/swimming (social , urban) biking, hikinq and � ski trails. The service area �or other facilities , such as interpretive center, � depend on the scope df programs and the relationship to other qrogramming � agencies. D. Needs Served � The method for �ssessment of needs, completed by the Metro Council Parks staff involv�s setting a service level goal fo r each kind of � facility provided py the regional system. Facilities are then planned and evaluated as �o how they help move various parts of the region toward � that goal . � To accomplish this , use and visitor origin are measured for a number of sites offering a certain facility. Variables are used to exDlain the � -18- � � amount of use ��comin to each site from each sub-area of the re ion. � 9 9 Variables incll��uded are such things as distances, facility size and � resource qualil;ty. These same variables are used to forecast the total amount of use �nd geographic distribution of use for similar future � � fac;lities. T�e total amount of use coming from a sub-area of the � region to all I$imilar regional system facilities, when adjusted for qualitative fa�tors, becomes the "level of service" to that sub-area � for tha� parti�ular facility. The goal is set by judging which sub- � areas appear td, be well-served, in numerical terms. Facilities are added to the sy�stem in places where the service level is below the goal and the resourc��es are avai�able to provide them. An example is the � swi rrmi ng faci 1 i��ty at Battl e Creek. The area around th e park i s very � low in service �rovided for picnic-swimning (social , urban) facilities. The goal is app�oximately 9.0, and the districts around Battle Creek � average between ',3.0 and 4.0 on the service level scale. Overall , th� analysis is all done in the context of the type of � � facilities seen ��as needed by other surveys judgement by implementing , agency staff and� others about an individual site and the desires of user groups, conl�erned about a certain park. � Facilities s�een as desirable for Regional Parks include picnic, swimning, boating, camping, trails and nature interpretation. The � reatest need id�ntified throu h metro surve for Battle Creek is 9 9 Y picnicking and swimming. The proposed development will satisfy this � need. The secon� highest need is for trails. The demand for trail � development has �een demonstrated by heavy use of undeveloped trails and by citizen pr!essure for development of trails. The development � plan will satisfy'; this need. � � , -19- � � � Map SA SERVlCF ARiEA ANALYSIS � FA C !j L I T Y(�): Pianic- Swimming � i � � .

Pigs Eye Significance The Pigs Eye Lake section w�s in the past considered a regional park in � and of itself. However, the s�te has limited recreational potential for � the usual regional park activi�ies: picnicking, swimning, boating, etc. The limitations are due to th� following reasons: 1 ) Pigs Eye Lake is � not suitable for recreationaliuse and it is not feasible to restore it to a quality suitable for use, j2) much of the site is inaccessible, except � by trails, and 3) rr�st of th� site is environmentally sensitive and may be negatively impacted by ovieruse, esoecially the rookery. � , The Pigs Eye Lake sectipn is a large, (1200 acre) natural , flood-plain . � environment. If joined toiBattle Creek by trails bridging Highway 61 and the railroad, the area caniadd a tremendous resource to the nature inter- � pretive potentaal of the 6'attle Creek Regional Park. The Pigs Eye section of Battle Creek Regional �ark will offer the unique opportunity of managing � a significantly large por'tion of an urban regional park as a natural en- � vironment without compromising recreational development. Pigs Eye possesses e'xtensive wildlife ponulations, many comnon through- � out other regional parks, but the large populations of beaver and deer as well as the corrmon s'ightings of American Eagles and the Heron rookery � are unique to Pigs Eye; Preserving and managing this natural resource as a part of Battle Creek' Regional Park is the real value of this section of � the park. � .-24- � , , The connection of Pigs Eye to �attle Creek by trails is not a high priority. The other sections of �he park should be fully developed prior � to adding the connecting bridges.' In that time, 10-15 years, some restor- � ation work and mother nature canjrestore the parts of Pigs Eye which have been filled or otherwise altered; in the past. Trails for access throughout � the site as well as maintenanceiaccess can be developed with an interim access off of Chills Road near the MWCC. This access will be the permanent � maintenance access as well . � The proposed inclusion and; plans for Pigs Eye are consistent with the St. Paul Critical Area Plan ar�d conditions of the Metropolitan Council and � EQB approval of that plan. � VI.

Parcel No. 18 - Metro Waste Cantrql Corrmission Although no property will beiacquired from the MWCC, the plan proposes � an equal amount of land tra�ed with the MWCC. The purpose of the trade , would be to include within �he park boundary the entire reach of Battle Creek downstream of the ra�lroad yards, and further to facilitate trail , construction around Pigs Eye Lake. 5. Parcel A - Racquetball Cliub site � This parcel is the 3.5 a�re area originally part of the "Jordan 40" that was not acquired by Ramsey County. Although not included in the , park boundaries, consideration should be given to include it if the , ownership and status change. If that were to be done, an amendment to this plan would beisubmitted. � 6. Parcel B - Ramsey Cownty t�ork Farm The 260 acre Work F�irm is not within the boundaries of Battle Creek , Regional Park, howsver, if the Work Farm should no longer be needed as a correction fa�ility, it should be added to the park. , VII. DEVELOPMENT DETAILS , A. Facilities , 1 . Group Picnic Area The group picni'c area will be located in the section of Battle Creek , northeast of U��per Afton Road and McKnight Road. The group picnic area is 40 acres in size. Access will be from Upper Afton Road. Parking � capacity wil� be 310 spaces. Facilities include one large group picnic pavil;lian and five small group shelters, gamefields, restrooms, � trails and ;�lay area. Four small ponds will be developed in conjunction , with the B�ttle Creek Watershed District plans. A larger area will flood periodica7ly. The ponds will not be large enough for boating or fishing. � , -28- , � , The group picnic area willjbe i�nediately across Upper Afton Road from the swirrming area and be ;connected by an underpass. Trails will , connect this area with all otfher areas of the park. This section of � Battle Creek will have 1 .82 miles of bike paths and 3.18 miles of hike/ ski trail . There will be an'additional 80 acres of natural area , buffering adjacent residenti!al areas in this northeast section. 2. Swimming Area � Swimming has been iden�G'ified as the primary needs in Battle Creek Park. With no natural lak�s available, two options exist for providing � swirr�ning: 1) Construct� a ,�swimning pond similar to the one in Elm , Creek Park Reserve, Henne�iin County or 2) construct some type of swimning pool . , O�tion 1: Man-made swimming pond Construction Costs $500,000 , Maintenance and Operatiqn Cost 60,000 Anticioated Revenue -0- * , *Revenue based on the a�ssumption that this swimming facility would be operated in a similar manner to the other 10 county beaches. , Option 2: Swimming Po�ol � Two types of swimming pools could be considered: 1) standard , swimning pool or 2) wave-action swimming pool . The construction, maintenance and oper�tion costs are comparable for each facility. The , wave-action pool wou!ld have two advantages over a standard pool : � 1 ) It would be a n�w facility for the metro area, thus it would not be duplicating otheir standard pools. This fact should res�.�lt in � greater use from mt�ch of the metro area. 2) It has proven in other cities throughout ;the country to be a good revenue producer. � , , -29- , , Construction Cost w ve-actiori pool $ 2,000,000 Maintenance/Operati n Costs 275,000 , Anticipated Revenue 325,000 The maintenance, operation and revenue figures are based on the following , projections : season 1Q0 days average attendance/day 1 ,500 , annual attendance ', 150,000 average admission � X $2 300,000 , other income 25,000 (concessions, lockers, membership, float TOTAL INCOME $ 325,000 rentals) , The costs of maintenanc and operation is typical of 1980 costs for comparable facilities in cities with s milar seasons. , These cost figures for swimning pond or pool are a general guide for consideration of a swimming�' facility for Battle Creek Regional Park. If either , facilit is to be constructed a more inde th feasibi�lit stud should be con- Y � P Y Y , ducted prior to construction. Either Wavetek or swimm�ng pond would be located in the section of Battle , Creek southeast of McKnighti� Road and Upper Afton Road. Formerly "Jordan 40"). The entire swimning complex will cover approximately 12 acres. Access will be , off Upper Afton Road with p rking capacity for 400 cars. The group picnic area , across Upper Afton Road and general picnic area irrmediately south of the site, will be accessible to the s imming area without driving. , The swimming area will e in close proximity to the proposed private racquet ball club. This will effec ively consoli�ate these highly active, man-made , facilities to one location to lessen their visual impact on "natural" areas of , the park. The swimming pool ?ocation was selected to offer the least negative impact , on residential areas and streets. The swimming area will be within 1/2 mile of the McKnight Road interc� ange on I-94. , � -30- , , 3. Trail Head and Picnic Area , Although trails g throughout the entire park, the primary area developed especially or trails, hiking/skiing and biking is the � section of Battle Cre k southeast of McKnight Road and Upper Afton Road. • The entire area inclu es 270 acres. , A 20 acre picnic rea will be located at the trail head. There , will be parking space for 85 vehicles. Access is from McKnight Road between Upper and Low r Afton Road. Res trooms and trail information � will be available at he trail head. The picnic area at the trail head is adjacent to the sw mming area, so picnickers will be able to walk , to i t. The trail head gi es imnediate access to the primary hike/ski and � bike area. This sout east section contains loops of 2.46 miles for , biking and 5.53 miles for hiking and skiing. The wooded rolling terrain is particular ly well suited for trail use, but very limited � for any other use. T e trails connect by underpasses under McKnight and Upper Afton to th entire trail system of 10.9 miles of bike trails � and 24.7 miles of hik /ski paths. , 4. Winter Soorts Area The winter sports area is located in the section of Battle Creek , bounded by Upper and ower Afton Roads, Winthrop Street and Battle Creek Road. The area includes 90 acres. Access to facilities in this , area will be from Win hrop Street. There will be parking capacity for 140 cars. Facilities will include: a beginner and lessons ski hill , , a sliding hill , cross country ski trails , skating, a new warming house, , and imprnved parking. The entire comple will be lighted for night use, including the , cross country trails n the immediate area. Sumner use of the area , -31- i , i � will include an ex'ercise trail frisbee olf, as well as other various � 9 single event uses,' The lighting for winter use will also be available , for the above men�ioned summer use. � This area wil� be accessible via tne bike trail system and other trails throughout� tne park. This section includes 1 .2 miles of biking and � 2 miles of hikin � and skiing. � A Marketing alnd Feasibility Report and Master Plan for the Battle , Creek ski hill w�s orepared in 1977 by Brauer and Associates. Two esections of that� report, "V. Developmental Feasibility" and VI. Recommendations"lare included herein as Appendix D. � The study cqnsidered three prograrrming and development options. The report, Apo�ndix D, fully describes each of the alternatives. , The following i� a brief description of each alternative: Alternative I : jThis option represents the "least-develoqment" alternative , and was select�'d on the basis of minimiaing improv�nents while at the � same time being feasible from an operational budget point-of-view. Alternative II1 This oation would consist of rather extensive grading � to increase th� height and length of the ski slopes, add extensive snow-making capabilities , imprnve tows, and build a more extensive chalet. , This option wauld develop the full potential of the site for the single � activity of ddwn-hill skiing. Alternative I�I : This option represents a combination of the oroposed , chal�t in Alt�rnative I , the proposed ski hill imorovemen�s of Alternative I;I and an executive 9-hole golf course. � � � , -32- , � � , � � � Y1 � >� � , SUMMARY OF PROS AND CONS OF EACH ALTERNATIVE: , PROS CONS Alternative I - 1 . Low capita cost ($300,000) . 1 . No potential for 2. Projected break-even financial significant revenue. operation. 2. Not a significant � 3. Greatest potential for increase in recreational developing the entire park into an integrated facility. , Alternative II - 1 . Much improved down-hill skiing 1 . Although improved, it facility. would stiil be a beg- ginner type area. � . 2. Underutilizes site in the sumner. 3. The demand would not justify as large an � expans ion. 4. High cost ($900,000). � Alternative III - 1 . Best year-around use of the 1 . High capital cost site. ($1 ,600,000) 2. Potential for most revenue. 2. A large number of , mature oaks would be removed from the woods. 3. The neighborhood is oppos ed to a golf , course. 4. Golf course would be only a medium quality � course. The development �f the winter sports area recommended in this master , plan, most closely cbrresponds to Alternative I. Differences from Alternative I- � I would be as fo�lows: The proposed develooment does not include a game room in the chalet and wi�l not be intended to function as a corrmunity youth , center. The propose� development does include a slidding hill , minor grading to improve slopes, minimal improvements for snow-making and lighting, � and cross-country sk� trails. � This alternative was choosen for the following reasons : 1 . Utilization f this entire site for golf and down-hill skiing r duc s if hot completel eliminatin ar� flexibilit for � e e � Y 9� Y Y developing t�e over-all park trail system (hike, bike, s�i) � through this section of the park. , -33- � � , 2. The other alternat,tives would cause extensive ne ative environ- 9 mental impact. (C��rading and removal of oak trees). , 3. Neighborhood oppoSition to golf course. � 4. Capital Cost � f f in h outheast The Brauer stud did I^eco nize a need or a ol course t e s , y 9 9 St. Paul sector. The development proposed would not preclude future develop- � ment of a 9-hole, par-3 Gourse on the site, if it was desirable to do so. Another option which may �lbe available at some future date, would be to con- � struct a golf course on �ounty Work Farm property adjacent to Battle Creek Regional Park. � i 5. Bluff Picnic Area , The bluff to icni � area will be located in the section of Battle Creek , pp C between Highway 61 and �attle Creek Road. Th e picnic area will cover 20 acres. , A comnon access with th� trail head/visitor center, will be from Battle Creek Road. Parking ca�acity for the picnic area will be 70 cars. Facilities , will include tables r�lls restrooms and trails. This icnic area will � 9 � � P � be the most accessible ;from the Great River Road via the Lower Afton Road interchange. , 6. Trail Head Visitor Center , � The Trail Head/Vis��tor Center will be located on the bluff between � Highway 61 and Battle ,'Creek Road. The center will encompass 10 acres and trails will radiat'e from it to Pigs Eye Lake, 6 miles; the Battle � Creek ravine, 1/2 mil�; the bluff area, 1 mile; and Fish Hatchery Lake , 1 1/2 miles. Access will be from Battle Creek Road and there will be parking capacity for �0 cars. � The building will� be uniquely sited to offer visual and �hysical access to many river corrido�r interests: flood plain, flood plain lake, river, � -34- , � � bluff, tributory stream, g�ology, river comnerce, river transportation, and land use. The buildin will be sited on the edge of the bluff and � h �iver corridor from downtown St. Paul to Pi s the view will include t e 9 Eye Lake, as well as a vie��v of the Battle Creek gorge. The center will be � readily accessible from th�e Great River Road. Biking and hiking trails , from the entire park go to the center. 7. Lower Creek Picnic Area , The l�wer creek picni area is located in the section of Battle Creek 1 and Ba�tle Creek Road. This icnic area has been used between Highway 6 P � for many years, however, in recent years it has been closed due to flood � � damage. The Battle Creek Watershed Project will restore this lower creek area, and prevent further flood damage. The 8 acre pcinic area will have � parking capacity for 45 c�rs. Facilities will include tables , grills, restrooms and trails. Th s area will have access from Lower Af ton Road � near Highway 61 . � � 8. Fish Hatchery Lake The Fish Hatchery Lak� section is essentially a trail corridor between � Indian Mo unds and Battle Creek sections of the park.

OPERATION DE�TAILS � A. Management',Documents 1 ) County Park Ordinance - see Appendix B � 2) Maintenance and Operation Policies - Ramsey County Comprehensive Plan See Appendix A � B. Operating Res'ponsibility Operation ',responsibility for Battle Creek Regional Park will be divided � by sections of' the park. The City of St. Paul will have operational responsi- bility for two 'sections: Indian Mounds Park and Fish Hatchery Lake. Ramsey � County will have operational responsibility for two sections: Battle Creek � and Pigs Eye Lak�. Currently the City owns two areas within the Battle Creek Section. The City shall continue to have maintenance and onerational responsi- � bilities for those�, two areas until they are fully developed as proposed in this Master Plan, dt which time maintenance and operation responsibilities � will transfer to Rat�sey County. � ' Coordination of operation will be required in the following areas: 1 Facilities : ' ) � All facilities in the respective jurisdictions can be operated independently,', with the exception of trails which pass from one rsection to ano�her. The boundary between maintenance and operation responsibility Will be Highway 61 . Therefore, there will be two � points where tra�ls cross the boundary - at Battle Creek and Burns � Avenue. 2) Hours• � _ __ ________ __ - - __ _---- __ __ ' --___--- _ --- _ __ _ _ __ General hours f pr the park will be the daylight hours (30 minutes before sunr'rise to 30 minutes after sunset) . Specific � facilities within tN,e park, such as the swimming area and the downhill ski area, will have varying hours of operation. The � Indian Mounds section' of the park will remain open until 11 p.m. � -40- i � 3) Si nin : Consistent sig�ing throughout Battle Creek Regional Park is � desirable. The C�ty of St. Paul , Parks and Recreation Department � has developed star�dardized signing for its park system. That signing will be h�ld throughout the entire park. i 4) Traffic Control : I ! Provisions will be made for closing all parking areas. That � policy will be colsistent throught the entire park, and all gates � will be consisten� in design. � 5) Regulations and Or�dinances: � The existing p�rk ordinance of each agency will reg�tlate the sec•tion of the park that �gency operates. There are no significant differences � which would confuse or otherwise be disruptive to park users. 6) Chan es: � Any proposed ct�anges in the operation will be reviewed and approved � by both agencies. l A portion of tt�e Battle Creek section to be operated by Ramsey County � is owned by the C�ty of St. Paul . A proposed maintenance agreement, similar to the on� between the City and County at Lilydale-Harriet � Island Regional Plrk is attached as Appendix E. Approval of this � Master Plan will �pp mve that agreement. � � C. Operating Costs - See char}t on following page D. Operating Funds Source - �ounty and City � E. Public Safety Service Police: The Ramsey County Sheriff has primary jurisdiction for the � part of the Park operatio I by Ramsey County.

DEVELOPMENTAL FEASIBILI7Y � In order to lace the ro sed develo �nt and ro ram o tions in a P P Po Pm P 9 P proper perspective, the study objectives sltated at the outset bear reiteration. , They are: 1) to determine what range and scale ofi recreational opportunities should be provided in order to sati�fy the recreational needs , of a significant segment of Lhe metrlopolitan population. 2) to determine how these opportunities� can be offered in a financially , self-supporting manner. These objectives are not mutually excl�sive; they are, in fact, highly � inter-related. In exploring development �nd program optio�s, it becomes apparent that both objectives can be met, generall , by offering recreation programs that will utili2e the site more efficiently on a ye�r-round basis. � Programming & Development Options The basis on which options were initia�ly considered was premised on the , follow�nq assumptions (which were derivedlfrom contextual analysis (Sections II and III) and site analysis (Section IV)) : I 1 ) that the downhill ski area would r�I in as the primary winter rec- , reational activity, but that either' physical or non-physical alterations (or both) would have to be made in lorder to make the area more attractive and profitable, I , 2) that, if feasible, a golf course luld be tfie primary summer activit , and � y , 3) that the winter and surtmer activit�es utilize the site and structures efficiently and in a coordfnated rr�nner. Based on the above-stated objectives �nd premises, the following development , and program optians are listed in con�un�tio� with the rationale for their initial consideration. In some cases, the optioq�s are contradictory, but are nevertheless included inasmuch as they represent feas�ble alternatives. There is, furthermore, � some overlapping between development opt ons on the orie hand, and program options on the other, owing to the interdependen�e of the categories. , I . , I , � -55- , I I � . � i _ � i , - I, Winter Recreation - Developmet�t Optiorts Rationale • � A.

Each package is composed � of consistent development and progra ing options for winter and surtxner uses. The packages are roughly addi ive, that� is; Alternative I represents a minimum development scenario, Alte native II adds to this minimum a discrete � amount of improvements and Alternativ III follows in kind. Selecting alte►~- ' native packages in this way facilita es the evaluation of the economic impact of a specific improvement or a progra ming emphasis. � Alternative I This package represents the _"lea t-development" alternative and was selected � on the basis of minimizing improvem nts while at the same time being feasible from an operational budget point-of-view. The salient features of this alternative include the construction of a youth-oriente chalet, a lengthening of the ski season. and no � provision for a qolf course. . The chalet would be, generally, utilitarian structure located a t the convergence of the ski runs at the bottom of th hill . Skiing services to be offered would include � equipment rental and sales and ski instruction. In order to assure the economic via- bility of the area while at the sam time avoiding duplication of services offered by other entities, the chalet would al o accomodate a game room (for electronic games and � pinball machines) and a snack bar ( ither vending machines or an informal cafeteria) . With this emphasis, it is felt that the structure would function as a community youth center as well as chalet, thus attr cting both skiing and non-skiing youth. � Physical site improvements in this alternative are minimal ; in fact, the only improve- ment directly related to skiing would be lengthening the season by the addition of two snow making units, for a total of five. � Because Alternative I represents the minimum-devel�pment, economically feasible scenario, no provision for golf has been made. By not including golf, this alterna- � tive can be used as a basis for the cost/benefit evaluation of additional improvements proposed in Alternatives II and III. Excluding golf from this scenario for economic reasons does not, however, preclude the non-economic (recreational ) need for• other activities. � Summer activities should be focused on non=structured recreational programs/facilities, particularly a recreational traiis system. A trails system for bicyc�ists and pedes trians will allow for greater user njoyment of the topography, scenic views, and � . � � -63- � � � � � :� 2) Separate fees for - - r id nts non-res�dents County es e / � -specific activities/ali �ctivities � -annual/seasonal/daily pa�tronage -all County facilities/Ba�ttle Creek facilities � These fee alternatives can, o� course, be utilized in virtually any combination and will produce a variety of re�,ults. � �erational Options , � ' 1 a ct of the Before selecting alternative option packages, another fina spe � possible options (particularly p,�rogrartming options) must be considered; what entity should be responsible for the op;eration of the various services selected? This decision is critical since, 1n the finaT �analysis, the management/programming of the recreation � � area will determine the area's 9uccess. Four possibilities are: 1 ) Ramsey County 3) Ramsey County and St. Paul Public School nd h Cit� of St. Paul 2) Ramsey County a t e � 4) A concessionaire (either alone or in cor � junction with any of the above) r ' th area's facilities is �n obvious choice Having Ramsey County ope ate, e � since the County could own most;, if not all of the facilities. Some of the options, however, such as operating pari�br games and offering quality food and liquor services, might better be operated by a p�rivate entity specializinq in same, inasmuch as these are areas in which the County has l�imited experience. Perhaps more importantly, the County � has historically demonstrated l;ittle inclination towards offering and promoting quasi-recrea� tional activities such as, thes�. . The advantage to having the; County and the City operate the area is that � greater coordination and less �uplication of programs would result. Such operation could maximize the range of op�tio�s provided by integrating the existing programs � offered at the Battle Creek Re�reation Center with those offered by ihe County. Cooperation has taken place in; the joint use of the Recreation Center structure, but it appears to be to neith�r er�tity's advantage, and furthermore, does not trulv represent programmi^g or operational cooperation. (7he City of St. Paul has offered � instruction programs at the ski area in the past, but, for a variet� of reasons, this has be discontinued) . � . � � -61- � * �- a � �� . i � r i h h 5 . Paul Public Schoois By having Ramsey County coordina�Ge prog ams w t t e t � 5ystem, the ski area (and golf cour�e) would be assured a sizable user populati�n that Mould complement the beginner/instrwction orientation of the area. Progrartming could con- teivably be coordinated with both tf�e Community Education and Physical Education Depart- ments, thus allowing for use both d�ring the day and evenings. Once again, however, this � coordination does not seem apt to h�ppen because the potential for such coordination �vith respect to .ski programs has exhsted (and does existl, but none has taken alace. Finally, having a concessionaireloperate some or all of the servlces and promotion � coul�d prove to. be the most profitab�e operational mode. TF�e primary benefit of a con- cession arrangement is that a conce�sionaire can most effectively compete in the "open market" and would be more likely to coordinate programs with a variety af pri- � vate and public bodies if dic.tated �y economic necessity. Just how well the Battle Creek ski operations would fare und�r a concessior. arrangement is almost whfllly can- tingent upon the provisions of the County's contract with the concessionaire. Two �' examples of typical , yet widely disparate contractual agreements are: 1 ) The County would make tfie la�nd available, at little or no cost, to the � concessionaire for a fixed period of time, say 25-3Q years. During this period. the concessionaire wc�uld develop, operate and maintain the ski area and/or golf course at no cos� to the County. All development would be con- � sistent with County policies# procedures, etc. and, since the concessionaire would be responsible for the �management, maintenance and operation of tfie facilities he has inv�sted i�, quality construction techniques would be guaranteed. At the end of 3� years, the con4essionaire would have, � theareticaliy, retired all initial development costs and the County could take over the operation and c�anagement of the recreation area or the er,ist- ing lease could be reneqotia�ed ard extended. In any event, the concessionaire � would have first right to neg�otiate lease extension. � 2) Another contractual agreemen�, is more conventional ; the County would develop all site improvements in accordance with a master plan and lease the facilities � to the concessionaire. This �lease could be for a fixed figure ar a percen- tage of profit or both. Othe� than perhaps having the County stipuTate mini- mum programming and maximum p�icing guidelines, the concessionaire would be allowed � enough flexibility to make mo�t operational judgements. Regardless of actual contract provisl�ions, this general mode of operation appears to be the most flexibie ond otentially creative of the four opera- tional alternatives explored. A con�Cessionaire mode r�ro uld be most likely � 1� to generate revenues in excess of ex�enses and offer, in the process, rPC- reational opportunities to the large�t number of people. � � , • . � -62- � . . � � � � , � e etation of the site, and could becom� a uniquely esthetic segment of the regional v9 trails system. Consideration should al�o be given to creating a so called "Swedish � exercise" trail spur. This type of tra�l , consisting of a jogginq path with regularly Spaced exercise stations, is presently �n use in Minneapolis and Roseville. One draw- back to this option, however. is that t�e upper reaches of the site have been subjected to vandalism in the past; the exercise 5tationswould have to be either readily access- � ible for security purposes or constructied in a vandal-proof fashion. Finally, it is recomnended that thelproposed winter services included in this aiterna- � tive be operated by a concessionaire. �Such an arrangement would be most likely to be profitable to the County, and would no�� require the County to acquire an expertise in such areas as pro►notion and marketing: ; Just how profitable the ski area could be would ultimately depend on the leasing; and service provision stipulations in the County- � concessionaire contract. B followin the Alternative I dev�lopment plan, the ranking of Battle Creek Ski Y 9 � Area would increase from 52.0 to 59.4 �as per the regional ski area analysis in Section II, This increase can be attributed to 1 ) the addition of skiing during weekdays, [) the additi�n of a chalet and 3) the provision of rental equip- � ment. With such a rank, 6attle Creek� would become the 2nd highest ranked public ski area in the metropolitan area, as indicate;d in Figure 16. The following table indicates thejprojected operating budget of the Alternative I � facility.

This simiiarity is retained to facilitate evaluation of the economic impact of logical development incre- ments. • � � Site improvements would consist pf some rather extensive grading and the re- orientation and adaition of tows (ads recomnended by the Battle Creek Ski Area renova- tion report of 1975). The primary �objective of the grading would be to remove a kno11 � near the bottom of the hill that pr�esently inconveniences skiers and limits the longest run's potential . and place the res,�plting fill a t the top of the slope, thus increasing the vertical drop somewhat and sig�hificantly lengthening the slope. � Lifts and tows required for the; site would total seven in number; six being rope tows and one-the longest, cen,�tral lift-being either a chairlift or t-bar. A � t-bar or a chairlift would facilit�te use by beginners (particularly the very young and elderly), with the chair lift �having the additional advantage of redacing slope grooming needs, though initially c�osting more. Provision is also made for a separate rope tow and run on the north sid� of the ..site reserved for sliding. � Another development increment Ihat Alternative II offers is the redirected social orientation'and resultant physica� alteration of the chalet as proposed in Alterna- � tive I. In this alternative, the� chalet would be more imposing and the services offered would be more extensive. � This chalet would serve to att��ract adults through offering quality food and � liquor in a dining room setting. ; Such a service would require the physical separation of the youth chalet and ski servi�ces on the one hand and the restaurant on the other, � necessitating a considerably lar�er structure. A large kitchen area would also be necessarv. It is felt that the r�estaurant would attract predominantly non-skiing adults ��retically providi�g rpore revenue without proportionately increasing the skier �ensity on the slopes. � � The ski-related services cont,ained in this package also inciude ski instruc- tion, ski rental and sales and a; "pro shop" selling ski wear and accessories. The � o eration of all services would �be through contractua`I agreement with a concessionaire. I� the area is not operated on a; concession basis, the County must be prepared to, amonq other things, engage in e�tensive promotional activities to assure ? large enough � clientele. � . � � -67- � , � � � Summer recreational em hasis shouldilrevolve around a bic cle/ edestrian trails � P Y P system linked with the metropolitan r�gional trails system. As in Alternative I . con- sideration should be given to creatin� a "Swedish Exercise" trail spur, if the capital outlay can be justified. Because of �he additional adult orientation of the area, � other summer activities should includ� court games with user fees. Fees will dis- courage use by youth, (who can and do� use St. Paul Parks Department facilities anyway) and tend to rei�force the adult empha5is, as well as generating revenue. � Court games should consist not of ,�t�nnis, but of paddleball and/or platform tennis. These games are not commonly found o�t-of-doors in the Twin Cities region - their uniqueness would serve as an attracti;on� to the site and restaurant, as well as justi- � fying user fees. Such games could al�so promote an atmosphere similar to that found at country clubs or athletic clubs. ;Equipment and accessories utilized in these games should be offered in the "pro shop" drea of the chalet. � By adhering to the Alternative IIldevelopment scenario, the Battle Creek Ski Area would become the highest rankedjpublic ski area in the metropolitan area with a score of 62.4 (see Figure 17) . Th,�e factors contributing to this increase � in rank include increased ratical dr'op, more tows, weekday ski..ing, a chalet and equip- ment rental . .

The c�ialet would have to be modi;fied somewhat to accorm�odate clubhouse re- quirements, but the basic thrust would remain that of a utilitarian structure. � Construction of the golf course wouldinecessitate the removal of a large number of mature oaks on the west side of the sit� and eliminate the possibility of an extensive � trail system. A golf cou rse would also 'preclude development of any court game faci- lities on site. Figure 20 illustr.ates. �he physical attributes of Alternative III . � If the Alternative III development p;�an were followed, the Battle Creek Ski Area would have a ranking of 60.7, makijng it the 2nd highest ranked public ski area in the metropolitan area (see Figure l�) . The proposed golf course would � have a ranking of 59.4, which is the m�dian rank of public par 3/executive courses in the study area (see Figure 19) . Once again, the recommended operat�ng entity is a concessionaire. Under pr�vate � management, the area would be more fl�xible and thus more able to coordinate pro- grams with St. Paul and neighboring cfities and metropolitan schooi districts. Should the County choose to operate the area, it must strive to achieve the above-mentioned � coordination to assure a reliable base level of patronage.

RECOMMENDATIONS � No single recommendation will suffic� to cover the range of possibilities open to Ramsey County with respect to the Qattl� Creek Ski Area�. The desirability and feasi- bility of any'course of action depends !not only on all of the foregoing data and find- � ings (Sections II through V) , but also on policy decisions made by the County and the Metropolitan Council . For this reason; - Alternative I is conditionall re ommended � - A ternative II is not recommended' - A ternative III is unconditi.ona 'y recommended � Alternative I is recortxnended on the basis of its low capital requirements and projected breakeven financial operatipn. This alternative represents a conservative development approach with relatively small financial risk invol�ed. The drawbacks to � such an approach, however, are - 1 ) �hat there is virtually no potential for anything more than insignificant financial gain and 2) that there would not be a meaningful quantitative or qualitative increase' in recreational progrartming opportunities. � Alternative I has the greatest potential for transforming all of Battle Creek Regional Park into an integra ted multi-program facility by virtue of its not offering golf on the specific site in question. By not doing so, there exists the possibility � of golf course construction at other sites within or adjacent to the park at some future date. Although beyo�d the scope of this project, a preliminary screening has indicated that a site amenahle to �he development of a comprehensive sumner recrea- tional facility - a regulation 18 q�ole golf course, a par 3 golf course, a driving � range, and support components - do�s exist in Maplewood, partially within Battle Creek Regional Park and partially !within the County Work Farm adjacent to the park. � Alternative II is not� recommen�ed primarily for financial reasons. Exclusive dining facilities at Battle CreekjSki Area would have to compete with other, better situated restaurants in the area.j Alternative II would also underutilize ti�e site during surtgner r�nths. � Alternative III is recommended on the basis of its provision of a range of year- round recreational programming opportunities as well as potentially creating a sizeable � operating cash surplus. Alternative III best fulfills the objective of satisfying the recreational needs of a signifiGant segment of the metropolitan population. The syner- gism of the golf/ski combinationi serves to encourage patronage from a wider area and, � not incidentally, efficiently a�d profitably utilizes the site throughout the year. � . � -78- � I � I � � � Table 10 indicates the construction cosit estimates for Alternative III, the recomnended alternative.
