Stelios Aslanidis, representing Dunn & Curry, presented a new
park dedication proposal for Eagan Hills West PUD which had been
worked out with City staff. It includes the elimination of some
remote areas previously suggested by the developer and an increase in
the active neighborhood park area. It provides a trail connection
from County Road 30 to the High Line Trail which bisects the proposed
PUD. It also included dedication of the 200 foot NSP easement with
additional area outside of the easement in those locations where it
is necessary to go around small ponds. The developer has also
provided right-of-way in excess of normal requirements to provide for
a possible berm and an undulated trail along the east side of Rahn
Road in the future. No park dedication credit is being given for this
area . 0-4-8141-4--0-4-:- a E
The Park Committee also discussed the possible need for adequate
trail along Blackhawk Road to accomodate crossing 35E in the event
that an underpass proves unfeasible. In a motion by Hagen,seconded
by Thomas, all members in favor, the Park Committee recommended
that park dedication for the Eagan Hills PUD be approved at the
locations specified with the following conditions:

that the area including the entirity of the NSP easement
with the expansions around the small ponds be dedicated
at the time of final plat approval of Phase I, or sooner if
convenient, regardless of the actual acreage contained
therein and that this dedication should be fee title by
separate document. That the remainder of the park dedication
be phased with the final plats for the remainder of the
development on a percentage basis.
and that provision for a trail along Blackhawk Road to the
bridge over 35E be provided if necessary.
The Park Committee also wished to call the City Council's
attention to the sidewalk policy, contained in Section 10.06
Subdivision 1, Item J, of the Subdivision Ordinance.

Hills, Rustic Hills Addition and Cameron Addition. In a motion by

be cash per unit subject to review by Park Director Schmidt and
