2 3Hackberry Park Master Plan: Executive Summary <br />Arriving at the Proposed Improvements <br />Based on a variety of factors (existing grades, drainage patterns, residential context, overall park size, access, <br />surrounding environment, public input, and City of Orono needs) a number of programming and site layout changes <br />have been proposed. This design was informed by three listening sessions with neighborhood residents and <br />presentations to the Hackberry Park Sub-Committee, Park Commission, and Orono City Council. <br />The site inventory graphic on the following page identifies existing utilities, adjacent streets, and Hackberry Park’s <br />boundary. The house shown in the aerial has been purchased by the City of Orono to be demolished and converted <br />to park improvements. <br />The lists below summarize the discussions and input received at public listening sessions as well as direction from <br />City staff. The ordering of items does not necessarily reflect their important or emphasis. <br />Summary of Design Input <br />Existing Conditions <br />TAGNUMBER <br />TAGNUMBER ll l l l <br />>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>TAGNUMBER <br />TAGNUMBER <br />TAGNUMBER <br />TAGNUMBER <br />TAGNUMBER <br />TAGNUMBER <br />TAGNUMBER <br />TAGNUMBER <br />TAGNUMBER <br />TAGNUMBER <br />TAGNUMBER <br />TAGNUMBER <br />TAGNUMBER <br />TAGNUMBER <br />TAGNUMBER <br />TAGNUMBER <br />TAGNUMBER <br />>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <br />>>>> <br />>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <br />>> <br />>> <br />>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <br />>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>\\goldenvalley4\h\ORNO\0T6130918\CAD\C3D\130918_Base Map_N1.dwg 5/17/2023 11:16:51 AMR <br />Hackberry Park Master Plan <br />City of Orono, MN <br />Existing Conditions <br />May 2023 <br />PARCEL LINE, TYP. <br />PARK BOUNDARY <br />WILLOW DR NHACKBERRY HILLELM LN <br />MAPLE LN <br />WATER LINE, TYP. <br />STORM LINE, TYP. <br />SANITARY LINE, TYP. <br />R <br />FEETSCALE <br />0 30 60 <br />HORZ. <br />Existing Issues <br />• Parking <br /> - Backing out on Willow Dr does not feel safe <br /> - Street parking can limit emergency vehicles <br /> access and access to existing mailboxes <br />• Water Drainage <br /> - Park is built in a wet area <br /> - Drain tile is clogged <br />• Vehicle Speed <br /> - Cars speeding on Willow Dr <br />Desired Improvements <br />• Ash tree replacement planning <br />• Programming for families <br />• Restroom/small shelter area with restrooms near <br />play equipment <br />• Drinking fountain <br />• Keep (but improve) south ballfield <br />• Remove north ballfield <br />• Keep sledding hill (adjacent to playground) <br />• Soccer/multi-sport field <br />• Coniferous plants along Willow Dr to screen sound <br />• Additional seating throughout park <br />• Keep mailboxes on the park side <br />• Signage on the rules of the park (i.e. leashed dogs, <br />motorized vehicles, closed at 10pm) <br />• Dedication plaque to the Gleason Family <br />• Remove broken well by skating rink <br />• Level skating rink area <br />Improvements Not Desired for Hackberry Park <br />• Sand volleyball <br />• Charcoal grills <br />• Field lighting <br />• Curbs on roads <br />• Pickleball courts <br />Existing playground (image from City of Orono) <br />Existing park sign (image from homes.com) <br />303000 6060 <br />NN <br />22
