Community Advisory Committee Meeting #6b

Hiawatha Golf Course Area Master Plan

Welcome!

Your CAC Ground Rules:

• Speak from your own experience
• Step up, step back. Be aware of how much you are speaking.
• Respect all voices
• Listen to understand, don’t just wait to speak
• No assumptions
• Take care of yourself
• We’ll move on when we’re ready
• Think ecologically
• Come with an attitude of collaboration
• Be transparent
• Respect science
• Consider entities that are not in the room
• Foresight of founding fathers (early Park Board Planners)
• Everyone is responsible for using the ground rules and how

they can be improved.

Review of the CAC Charge

The Hiawatha Golf Course Master Plan CAC shall:

• Become knowledgeable.
• Contribute to broad community engagement.
• Communicate elements to the general public.
• Report back to appointers or appointing bodies.
• Make recommendations to the MPRB Commissioners on the future

use or evolution of Hiawatha Golf Course, based on agreed upon vision, goals, and principles.

• Make recommendations to the MPRB Commissioners in support of

any changes to the golf course property or perpetuation of current uses, with attention to priority, sequencing, timing, and funding.

• MPRB staff and the design team concluded that maintaining the existing 18-hole course

is not possible while reducing pumping as conceptualized in Water Management Alternative B.

• After CAC Meeting #4 the design team was instructed to pursue a compact 18-hole golf

course design.

• An initial sketch for the layout of the compact 18-hole course over the water footprint

and floodplain areas as shown in Water Management Alternative B was created.

• It became apparent to the design team and MPRB staff that the compact 18-hole course

configurations infringed on floodplain storage areas and would not be flood resilient.

• The design team attempted to adjust the shapes of the floodplain areas to fit within the

compact 18-hole course configuration and the required space was still not large enough. Similarly to the existing configuration, the course would not be flood resilient and much would be impacted by new open water.

The compact 18-hole configuration:

• limits the space required for floodplain storage
• reduced pumping is not possible
• forces the golf course to extend beyond its existing boundary
• limits many other uses on the golf course property except for

enhancements to the clubhouse The compact 18-hole configuration was not a feasible solution within the parameters of Water Management Alternative B and MPRB staff chose not to develop it as one of the three concepts.

CAC Workshop

• Pollution mitigation, City involved, trash sediment, and dissolved pollutants
• Fence comes down strategically, increase accessibility to park and water
• Revised/improved clubhouse, with winter activity hub, pet friendly patio, local business oriented
• Enhanced winter activities on the property
• Enhanced communal practice facilities
• Maintain first tee program
• Balance natural and recreation spaces with appropriate plantings. (Vegetation that reduces input needs while optimizing land use experience, water management, and wildlife.)
• Provide a plan for the for memorials to people
• New traffic and parking analysis for neighborhood
• Provide a plan to retain the 18 holes golf course with alternate ways to reduce pumping
• Maintain and expand, where appropriate, where biking paths should be
• Keep costs low, capital and maintenance
• Safe walking path around the lake, not necessarily directly adjacent to lake
• More purposeful interpretation and presence of African American and Indigenous history, art, and culture
• Public art opportunities
• Why/when is pumping bad?
• 1. Protecting homes from groundwater intrusion which including engineering analysis
• Protect existing wildlife habitat
• Event venue
• Look at what is housed in each facility, SW bldg., etc.
• Reuse existing infrastructure
• Include stormwater best management practices
• Push Audubon Certification levels further
• Wildlife connectivity
• Opps for non-golf interaction on property
• Passive and active areas

Next Steps

• CAC Meeting #7 – Presentation of the Preferred Design Alternative and Draft CAC
• Recommendations. Did the design team correctly translate CAC input? (August, 2019)
• CAC Meeting #8 – If required (September, 2019)
