BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
At the August 8th, 2016 Otsego City Council meeting, the Council voted unanimously to approve a
proposal from SRF Consulting Group, Inc. for professional park development services for Norin Landing
Park. Those services include meetings with the Commission, Council, and Staff, developing conceptual
designs, assisting in the facilitation of a neighborhood meeting, preparing plans and specifications for
the selected park concept, and administration of the bid process. Hakanson Anderson will be preparing
the plans and specifications for the boat ramp.
The Parks and Recreation Commission at their meeting in November 2016 met with neighbors that
surround the Norin Landing Park to receive input on the conceptual designs and park amenities. From
that meeting Staff developed a final concept design addressing the items that were discussed during the
community meeting.
Floodplain. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Rate Study Map identifies the
100 -year floodplain of the Mississippi River along the subject site at an elevation of 882 feet. The
concept plan drawing for Norin Landing has been revised to indicate the 882 foot contour obtained from
GIS Data. Land within the 100 -year floodplain is regulated by Section 94 of the Zoning Ordinance. Parks
are a permitted use within the 100 -year floodplain provides that improvements have low potential for
flood damage, will not obstruct flood waters or increase flood elevations. The proposed improvements
within the 100 -year floodplain portion of the subject site are limited to a precast concrete fishing
platform, limestone blocks, and Class II aggregate trails. The planned gazebo is outside of the 100 -year
floodplain. The improvements located within the 100 -year flood plan have low potential for damage
from flooding, will not obstruct flood waters, or increase the flood elevation. The proposed concept
plan complies with the floodplain regulations of the Zoning Ordinance.
Wild and Scenic District. The subject site is within Subdistrict A of the Mississippi Wild, Scenic and
Recreational River District (WS District) established as Section 95 of the Zoning Ordinance. Public open
space uses, including public accesses with boat launch facilities and temporary docks, are a permitted
use within Subdistrict A of the WS District. The proposed gazebo is required to be setback a minimum
of 100 feet from the Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL) of the Mississippi River, which the location
shown on the concept plan complies with. In developing the City park, the City is limited in terms of
vegetative cutting within 100 feet of the OHWL to trees, shrubs and brush less than four inches in
diameter measured four feet above grade except when removing rotten, damaged, or disease or insect
infested trees that present safety hazards. The City will undertake cutting within 100 feet of the OHWL
on a selective basis. Tree removal on a balance of the site may occur without restriction to create the
open space shown on the concept plan. The concept plan complies with the provisions of the WS
District.
Final Concept Plan. Attached to this memo is the final concept design for Norin Landing Park which the
Parks and Recreation Commission voted unanimously to recommend to the City Council for appoval.
Items such as the parking lot and shelter have been redesigned throughout the various concept plans to
preserve a more natural setting in the park, improve compatibility with surrounding homes, and
maintain the goal of providing a park with boat and shoreline access to the Mississippi River as a
community amenity. The changes incorporated as part of the final concept plan attached to this memo
include:
The shelter is moved further west due to the elevation of the site and the orientation of the
house located directly south of the park. The orientation of the house located directly south of
the proposed park is positioned northeast to southwest, which if the shelter were to be moved
east, would be moved in direct view of the residence. Moving the shelter west and providing a
row of coniferous trees provides a much greater masking of the shelter from the property to the
south.
■ The parking lot has been revised from the previous concept plan to provide fewer parking stalls,
a better turning radius for boat trailers, and area to expand parking stalls in the future.
A total of three lights have been incorporated into the concept plan their locations are by the
parking lot, the trail going to the shelter, and the within the shelter itself. The light locations
were chosen to provide the best visibility for park monitoring and have the least impact on the
surrounding residence.
Staff met on December 12, 2016 with a representative from Rainbow Tree Care to assess the
viability of the significant Cottonwood trees within the park. The tree located to the west of the
parking lot has significant decay and is basically hollowed out approximately 15 to 20 feet into
the tree itself. This is not the Cottonwood tree that is located in the retention pond area of the
parking lot, which Rainbow Tree Care found to be in satisfactory condition
DNR Review. As noted above, the City is responsible for administration of floodplain and WS District
regulations governing use of the property. On December 9, 2016, City Staff and representatives from
the Minnesota DNR Waters Division met to discuss the Norin Landing Concept plan. The DNR provided
input regarding the boat landing, monitoring of boat traffic that may be available, and concrete piers for
the landing itself that they may be also able to provide. DNR staff supported the proposed concept plan
to improve boat and shoreline access to the Mississippi River.
The Parks and Recreation Commission voted unanimously at their meeting on December, 2016 meeting
to recommend the City Council approve moving forward with the preparation of plans and specifications
and advertisement for bids for Norin Landing Park based on the preferred concept plan.
The amount which was approved in the Capital Improvement Plan for construction of Norin Landing
Park is $445,000hich is proposed to be funded through the Community Facilities Fund #208. As part of
the planning process for Norin Landing Park an Outdoor Recreation Grant through Department of
Natural Resources will be sought with available funding of up to $150,000.
The project estimate is broken down as follows:
Grant Writing Services $3,500
SRF $29,700
Park Projected Cost $359,906.80
(Including Alternates)
Parking Lot/ Boat Landing $221,844.36
Large Tree Removal $4,500
TOTAL $619,451.16
Of the projected park improvements at Norin Landing, $159,830 are being proposed as bid alternates
that may be added or removed as the project moves forward which would bring the estimated cost of
the project to $459,621.16, should all of the alternates be excluded from the project. A breakdown of
the alternates are as follows:
Bituminous Trail in Lieu of $3,500
Class 2
Shelter $60,000
Deck Overlook $39,500
Vinyl Fence $31,680
Concrete Paving $10,620
Minus 10% Contingency $14,530
TOTAL $159,830
If approved Staff will coordinate to begin the preparation of plans, specifications and solicitation of bids
immediately. Staff will also work with WSB to start the grant writing process, the timeline for the grant
requires a submittal of the grant for review by the beginning of March. Organizations that submit a
grant will be notified in June if they will receive funding. If funding is awarded, projects should be able
to begin in August of 2017.
