CITY OF EAGAN 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MN 55122 AGAN NEWS MAY, 1988 Volume 11, No. 2 Phone: 454-8100 THE LONE OAK TREE. ..THE SYMBOL OF STRENGTH AND GROWTH IN OUR COMMUNITY PILOT KNOB ROAD CONSTRUCTION BEGINS Construction on the upgrading of Pilot Knob Road officially began on Wednesday, May 5, 1988, with the rerouting of some private utilities (gas, electric, cable and telephone services). Construction work on Pilot Knob Road will continue throughout the summer and fall. Pilot Knob Road is planned to be reconstructed to a five -lane urban street from Interstate 35 -E to Rebecca Lane (south of Cliff Road). Included in this project is the reconstruction of Diffley Road from Heine Strasse Lane to Blueberry Lane and the reconstruction of Cliff Road from Johnny Cake Ridge Road to Ches Mar Drive. Bike trails will also be provided on both sides of Pilot Knob Road, Diffley Road and Cliff Road in the reconstructed areas. The preliminary construction schedule is as follows: 1. On May 16, the general contractor will close Diffley Road east of Pilot Knob Road. Pilot Knob will remain open. 2. The week of May 23 (approximately), Pilot Knob Road just south of Deerwood Drive will be temporarily closed for about a week. 3. After the above section of Pilot Knob Road is opened, Pilot Knob Road will be closed for major construction purposes from Duckwood Drive south to Deerwood Drive. 4. Construction will proceed in stages south on Pilot Knob Road, going next to the intersection of Pilot Knob and Diffley Roads, then south of that in- tersection. 5. Construction is expected to reach the intersection of Pilot Knob and Cliff Roads around Labor Day. 6. At that point, Dakota County will evaluate the situation and proceed with construction in the Pilot Knob /Cliff Road intersection area this fall or delay that construction until the spring of 1989. 7. It is likely that the section of Cliff Road reaching from Pilot Knob Road to Johnny Cake Ridge Road will not be constructed until next spring. Unfortunately, because of the construction and subsequent road closures, many detours will be necessary. Some of the detours will only be very temporary and some will last a considerable length of time. Please refer to your local newspapers for updates as to how the construction is proceed- ing and where the current road closures /detours are located.

RESIDENT VOLUNTEERS The City of Eagan presently has seven (7) standing committees/commis - sions staffed by volunteer residents of the City of Eagan which provide recom- mendations on public service and community development related issues. In addition to these standing commissions/committees, there is one special com- mission, the Solid Waste Abatement Commission, that is analyzing methods to comply with the mandatory solid waste abatement legislation that was adopted by State law. Volunteer members of these commissions and committees donate a sig- nificant amount of their personal time to the City of Eagan. The commit- ment, time and effort spent by these residents provide the City with a unique and irreplaceable service. There were a number of volunteers appointed and reappointed in early 1988 by the City Council, all of whom are included on the following list by commission/committee.

OFFICE PAPER RECYCLING Office paper recycling is fast be- coming a popular way to reduce dis- posal costs for businesses. In addi- tion, Minnesota's Waste Manage- ment Act requires that high grade office paper and corrugated materials be diverted from metropolitan landfills by 1990. For these reasons, the City of Eagan has begun to distribute information about office paper recycling and the firms which offer these services. Office paper and corrugated material recycling can be tailored to fit the needs of almost any business. Many Eagan firms like Unisys, Blue Cross -Blue Shield, Coca Cola, UPS, and Northwest Airlines have recog- nized the value of recycling for a long time. If you wish to join these firms in meeting the region's goals for waste abatement, contact Eagan City Hall, 454 -8100, for a list of recy- cling vendors. You can begin help- ing out today.

STRATEGIC PLANNING The City of Eagan recently completed a strategic planning session at- tended by members of the City Council and City staff during which they iden- tified in excess of sixty (60) objectives toward which they wished to work. These objectives include a number of both short and long term City goals. The objectives and goals vary from expanded public service to the proposed community center building, solid waste abatement, capital improve- ments and senior housing. The strategic planning session allowed the City Council and City Ad- ministrator to not only identify short and long term goals for the City, but also to develop a work program including a fiscal impact analysis for each ob- jective. 3 OFFICER'S NOTEBOO[ BY SERGEANT JOHN: STEVENSO ................................................ ...............................

Eagan 'ol ce Department, 3830 :: Pilot 'Knob Roam Eagan, MN :55122, :454 -3900 WHERE DOES MY TAX MONEY GO? Taxpayers in the City of Eagan may be interested in a graphic presenta- tion of exactly which government agencies receive portions of their property tax payments and in the percentage each agency receives. Basically, the payments are divided between the school district, the coun- ty and the city in which the resident lives. A small portion of the funds is also diverted into other uses, such as mosquito control, Metropolitan Coun- cil, Watershed District and the Dakota County HRA. The figures below represent where the tax dollar goes for residents who live within School District 196. Figures may vary slightly for residents of the other two school districts. YOUR TAX DOLLAR: DAKOTA CTY HRA (0.3 %) ISD #196 (56.1 %) TRANSIT DIST (2.5 %) % N" - --- DAKOTA CTY (22.2 %) CITY OF EAGAN (18.0%) MET COUNCIL (0.5%) MOSQUITO CONT. (0.4 %) 4 AIRCRAFT NOISE COMPLAINTS The airport noise issue has taken on an increased metropolitan significance in recent years as noise impacted neighborhoods around the area have become active in the ef- fort to curb the noise problem. Much of this problem has come about as a result of airline deregula- tion which has led to dramatic in- creases in air traffic here and around the country. Aircraft noise is nothing new for Eagan residents. For years, the community has worked to get along with the airport by providing a flyover area of commercial and in- dustrial land use in the northern part of the City. This type of development can better absorb aircraft noise than can residential uses. Many of the businesses in Eagan depend directly on the air- port. Its convenience is important for those companies with markets, contacts and locations outside of the immediate area. Eagan's loca- tion was one of the key elements in many businesses' decisions to locate in Eagan. But the importance of the air- port to City business need not prevent Eagan residents from enjoy- ing their homes and their com- munity. The City and the airport can co -exist in a noise - controlled en- vironment. To do so, the airport must receive input from noise -af- fected areas. If you are bothered by aircraft noise events, note as much as pos- sible about the time, location, direc- tion of flight and type of aircraft and call: Aircraft Noise Complaints: 726 -9411 Airport Control Tower: 726 -9255 Address Noise Correspondence To: Metropolitan Airports Commission, 6040 28th Ave. S., Mpls, MN 55450 Metropolitan Aircraft Sound Abatement Council, 6040 28th Ave. S., Mpls, MN 55450. E.D.I.T.H. (EXIT DRILL IN THE HOME) Professional athletes practice their sport daily to be the best they can be. They realize that to be the best, you must know exactly what to do when the occasion arises. EDITH is an escape route that is practiced in the home, using predetermined instructions. To set up and practice EDITH: • 1. Discuss with your family two different ways to get out of every room in your home. Start with the bedrooms first. Draw up a floor plan if needed. • 2. Agree on a meeting place out- side the home. • 3. Practice it all different times of the day. Include the whole family. • 4. Work with young children; they need the most instructing. Help give them the chance to grow up. • 5. Keep highly flammable ob- jects out of the house. Too many people fail to respect items like gasoline or paint thinner Use common sense. Don't allow them in the house and keep children away from them. IF THERE IS A FIRE: • 1. Do not panic. • 2. Arouse the family. • 3. Close doors to smoke and flames. • 4. If door is already closed, touch it near the top to see if it is hot. If it is hot, use the back- up exit. • 5. Go to the designated meeting place and wait for family mem bers. • 6. Call 911 -- and NEVER RE- ENTER THE BURNING BUILDING! • YOUR it LIBRARY CHECK IT HOORAY FOR LIBRARY KIDS Summertime can be family time and fun time -- and your library has prepared its summer schedule with you in mind. Starting in June, the tiniest family member at age two will enjoy attending story times, film showings and speical programs. Children who can already read can join their friends for a "Hooray for Library lads" summertime of fun and ac- tivity. Stephen Gammel has created the art work that will be used on posters, buttons, flyers, and bookmarks. This popular Minnesota author and illustrator has written and/or illustrated such titles as The Relatives Came, Where the Buffaloes Begin, A Net to Catch the Wince The Story of Mr. & Mrs. Vinegar, Wake up, Bear....It's Christmas, and many more. Pick up a Summer Schedule of Events which lists activities throughout the summer and join your friends for a summertime of fun. VACATION BOUND? Visit the library before heading for your vacation retreat and choose current best sellers and interest books available through the rental program. New arrivals include Man of the House by Tip O'Neill, Siblings without Rivalry by Faber & Mazlish, Icarus Agenda by Robert Ludlum, The Bonfire of the Vanities by Tom Wolfe, North to the Pole by Will Steger, Love, Medicine and Miracles by Bernie Siegel, Feather on the Moon by Phyllis Whitney, and Swim with the Sharks by Harold Mackay. Also visit the audio visual department for a variety of audio cassettes guaranteed to reduce the tedium of driving and provide enjoyment to the whole family. All you need to enjoy these services is a new blue plastic library card. Don't hesitate, register for your new library card and take advantage of these services and all other services offered by your library. GUARANTEED WAIT REDUCING You've watched as the changes have been introduced in your library as the automated system is put into effect. The changes made so far have been steady and subtle; bar -code labels on materials, terminals gradually replacing fiche readers, and re- registering of all library users. Re- register- ing of library users is the change that will have the greatest impact on library users. The paper library card you now carry will be out -dated when computers move into the check -out desk to record the check -out procedure. So, be prepared, join the library's wait reducing program; re- register for your new blue plastic library card. LITERACY PROJECT Coordinators for the Technology for Adult Literacy Project, library staff, and volunteers are excited and encouraged by the response shown by the community to this new program. Members of the Dakota County Library Board have endorsed this program and volunteers have been trained in the Laubach method of tutoring, and recipients have been eager to begin this new adventure. A learning/tutoring center has been set up in the library and as the needs of the students change, computer software designed for adults in conjunction with the Laubach method will be added. An Open House is planned for Saturday. May 21, from 1 -4 p.m. Plan to attend and learn more about TALP. If you are interested in knowing more about the library's volunteer programs, service to the Homebound, the Literacy Project, or Friends of the Library, call 452 -9600. The library is located at 13411 Wescott Road and is open Monday through Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to &30 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. 5 COMPOST:: SITE IS LEAF DI :P O A : :::.

This wall is commonly referred to as a firewall which has a 1 hour rating. The 1 hour rating refers to tested burn time. There are two common methods to construct this wall: 1) the gypsum board may be placed so it continues from the floor to the underside of the roof; 2) the gypsum board may be placed so it goes from the floor to the ceiling of the garage, and then the entire garage ceiling and bear- ing walls must be covered with gyp- sum board. A problem is occurring with ap- plication #2. After moving in, a homeowner may decide to remove some of the gypsum board on the ceiling of the garage in order to utilize the attic space as storage. When the gypsum board is removed, a fire originating in the garage now has an un- hindered path to the main part of the house. If you choose to do this, you are violating the building code, but, more importantly, you are subject- ing your home and family to a greater fire hazard. If you do want the attic storage area, finish the job by applying 5/8" type 'X' gypsum board to the common wall between the house and garage, in the attic space. You should also be aware that the additional weight of storage on the roof system may be beyond the designed capacity of the roof sys- tem. Check with the manufacturer of the roof system if you have a con- cern. CABLE CORNER CITIES HIRE NEW CABLE COORDINATOR The Cities of Eagan and Burnsville have hired Mike Reardon to coor- dinate their joint cable television franchise and to assist the Burnsville- Eagan Cable Communications Commission in its management of cable is- sues. As Cable Coordinator, Mr. Reardon will work with Cable TV North Central, the cities' cable provider, to insure maintenance of the sys- tem, timely extension of service and provision of local access oppor- tunities for residents. Mr. Reardon will also be working with the Com- pany to develop various facets of the system such as the Institutional Net- work, the emergency override for severe weather information and in- creased government programming. He is currently officed at Eagan City Hall and may be reached at 454-8100. EXTENDED CABLE SERVICE Cable service will be expanded in housing subdivisions will have cable during the 1988 construction season. Blackhawk Glen 1st & 2nd Carriage Green Apts. Fawnridge 2nd Hampton Heights Lakewood Townhomes Northview Meadows 2nd & 3rd Overhill Farms Parkside Apts. Safari Estates Slaters Acres Windtree 1st - 6th Eagan this year. The following installed in their neighborhoods Blackhawk Oaks Cinnamon Ridge 4th Greensboro 1st & 2nd Lakeside Estates Lexington Hills Apts. Oakcliff Park Knoll Rose Hill Safari 2nd & 3rd South Oaks Whispering Woods This is the current list of Eagan's neighborhoods which are on Cable TV North Central's 1988 construction schedule. As the season progresses other subdivisions will be checked for eligibility. According to the City's franchise agreement with the cable company, once a neighborhood is saturated with 40 units per mile that area becomes eligible to receive cable service. Depending upon the weather and the eligibility criteria other neighborhoods, not listed above, may receive cable service before the construction season ends. As with all construction a certain mess will be made as the cable is extended through the neighborhoods. Please be patient, as the cable company is required to restore the yard to as good a condition as its former state, within a resonable amount of time. If not, then please contact the company by dialing 483 -9999. PILOT KNOB RECONSTRUCTION The Pilot Knob Road Reconstruction Project, including the widening of both Diffley and Cliff Roads, may temporarily interrupt cable service to Eagan subscribers. The easements along the roads carry the main ser- vice trunk lines which provide cable service for most of Eagan's sub- scribers. With such a magnitude of road construction there is the pos- sibility that service may be interrupted temporarily. In the event such a situation arises, the city or county staff, who will be monitoring the project, will notify the cable company, Cable TV North Central immediately. It is obviously hoped that disruption of the cable service will not happen, but in the event it does, please be patient as the cable company will restore it as soon as possible. If your service is out for a length of time longer than reasonable please call 483 -9999. A cable customer service representative will assist you. We apologize in advance for any possible inconvience this may cause. 7 SUMMER PARK CONSTRUCTION The Park & Recreation Department is presently designing and preparing the construction plans for four Eagan parks. OHMANN PARK is located south of Cliff and east of Pilot Knob Roads. The park serves as both a neighborhood and an athletic park. The proposed park facilities include four soccer fields, softball field, trails, hardcourt, playground, shelter building, horseshoe pits and parking lot. WINKLER JACKSON PARK is located in the northeast quadrant of James Street and Slater Road intersection. The park is designated as a neigh- borhood park. The proposed facilities include an open play area, playground, hardcourt, trails, picnic area, sledding hill and possibly a free skating rink. BLACKHAWK PARK, located adjacent to Blackhawk Lake, will begin first phase construction on the main park access road. BRIDLE RIDGE PARK located at Elrene Drive and Northview Road will have a sixteen car parking lot constructed. The construction within these parks will be primarily first phase develop- ment which includes: site grading, utility, trails, parking lot, road and turf es- tablishment. The installation of the playgrounds, hardcourts, landscaping and other surface facilities is typically scheduled one to two years following first phase development. If anyone has questions regarding this year's parks construction, or general park development, please call the City of Eagan, Parks and Recrea- tion Department, 454 -8100. EAGAN IS TREE CITY USA RECIPIENT In April, the City of Eagan was awarded distinction as a "Tree City USA" community by the National Arbor Day Foundation. Eagan received the award in recognition of it's comprehensive urban forestry program. To be- come a Tree City USA, a community must meet four standards: • 1. a legally constituted tree board or department; • 2. a community tree ordinance; • 3. a comprehensive community forestry program supported by a minimum of $1.00 per capita; and • 4. an Arbor Day proclamation and public tree planting ceremony. At the Second Annual Arbor Day celebration on April 23rd, City offi- cials were presented with the official Tree City USA plaque, flag, and entrance signs to the community. The Tree City USA designation is symbolic of Eagan's efforts to enhance community neighborhoods through tree preser- vation, tree planting, and maintenance. During The past five years, the Parks and Recreation Department has planted over 3,000 trees throughout the City park system. The City also requires developers to preserve and plant trees in new subdivisions to create a greener and healthier environment for future generations. Finally, homeowners are encouraged to take an active role in planting trees in the home landscape. Trees not only aid in beautifying the landscape through shade, color, and attracting wildlife, but add real economic value to residential property. For further information on selecting or maintaining trees and shrubs, resi- dents are encouraged to contact the Eagan City Forester at 454 -5220. Other sources of information are available from the University of Minnesota DIAL U INSECT & PLANT INFORMATION SERVICE (there is a charge to the calling party) 1- 976 -0200 or the Dakota County Extension Services at 463- 3302. 8 EAGAN PARK REPRESENTATIVES Eagan Parks and Recreation is : seeking to establish? an or- ganization that will include a rep -: resentative for each : of the developed parks in the City. In- terested `. individuals will repre- sent their neighborhoods and:% their neighborhood park. Mem- bers should also have an interest;:: in the development of the park system as a whole. The ::: group of : repre- sentatives, for the most part, will rely on informed communica- tion. Periodic meetings will be held in `'order that members can better understand the : goals and purpose of the organization. For additional information, or to volunteer to loan, Can the Eagan Parks and Recreation Department at 454-8100. TO RECEIVE PARKS GRANT The Parks and Recreation Department recently received word that it's grant application for Black - hawk Park had been approved. The grant program, known as Land and Water Conservation Fund (LA.W.C.O.N.), is funded by the federal government through state administration. In competition with other com- munities in the State, Eagan was able to secure partial funding for the future development of Black - hawk Community Park. It is hoped that grant contracts will be ap- proved by mid- summer. Although a time line for first phase development of the park has not been set, it is hoped that park work could begin in 1989. The City expects to receive approximately $150,000 in grant monies. PARKS & RECREATION SUMMER PROGRAMS! "DISCOVER US!" EVENING IN THE PARK Looking for entertainment for the whole famil ?
