ADDENDUM TO NIAKWA, INC. W l u D CRLD~'
Jim Hill for preliminary plat of Windcrest Addition and rezoning from A,
Agricultural to R-1 P.D., R-2 P.D. and R-3 P.D.
The application for rezoning has been changed to reflect the planned development
as recommended by Staff. The application which has been readvertised presently
is requesting rezoning of 77 acres of agricultural land to 16.7 acres of R-1
Planned Development; 4.4 acres of R-2 Planned Development; and, 32.0 acres of
R-3 Planned Development.
Site Plan Review
The preliminary plat, Windcrest, has been modified slightly fran the May Advisory
Planning Commission meeting. The proposed plat presently includes 16.7 acres of
R-1 with 26 single family dwelling units; 4.4 acres of R-2 with 4 duplexes or
8 dwelling units; 32.0 acres of R-3 with 50 quads or 200 dwelling units; 11.5
acres of road right-of-way, 12.4 acres of park of which 10.9 acres would receive
kcreedit. Therefore, the proposed Windcrest plat is in excess of the Eagan
Park Dedication requirement.
Two single family lots have been removed from Deengood Drive which brings all
lot frontage on Deerwood Drive to 100 or more feet. This 100 feet or more width
is in excess of the minimum frontage requirement for an R-1 zoning district.
The proposed park dedication has been reviewed by the Eagan Park Committee.
Staff recamiends that the proposed park dedication in the revised plat be accepted
as the park dedication. The final park recd mendation will be made at the July
Park Committee meeting.
The comments and recommendations made in the planning report dated May 16, 1979
by the City Planner and City Engineer should still be taken into consideration if
the preliminary plat is recommended for approval by the Advisory Planning Ccnmission.

MEMD TO: BARB SCHKOYr, PARK DIRECTOR AND
EAGAN PARK MWITTEE
FROM: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
DATE: JULY 11, 1979
SUJBECT: PARK DEDICATION FOR WINDCREST PRELIMINARY PIAT
Since the last Park Committee Meeting, Staff has been requested to re-evaluate
the proposed park dedication for the Windcrest Development. The Windcrest plat
consists of 77 acres of which 12.4 acres would be dedicated as park. Of the
12.4 acre dedication, 10.9 acres would receive park credit. Therefore, the
park dedication for the tlindcrest plat is in excess of the required park dedication.
In evaluating the park dedication in the P]indcrest plat, it can be broken down
into two (2) different segments. The first segment being the portion south of
the City property and west of Denmark Avenue. The reasoning for this large area
for a trailway is to insure that the City obtains the amenity of the ponding
area. The second reason for this large area is that it can also tie Skovdale 2nd
and the parcel directly south of Skovdale 2nd into this trail system. The last
factor is in the civic center site, there is a passive area set up in the south-
east corner of the concept plan. To keep the affect of the openness of this
passive area and due to the topography within this area, there are really no
physical barriers to set the park boundary within this proposed plat.
The parcel on the east side of Denmark Avenue allows the flexibility for the
proposed trail to go either north or south to tie into Patrick Eagan Park. If
you have any questions regarding this park dedication, I will be available at
the Park Conmittee meeting for further questions. 3

PETITIONER: DUNN & CURRY REAL ESTATE MA , INC. ROD HARDY
LOCATION: NEh, SECTION 28
EXISTING ZONING: PD, PLANNED DEVEWPHENT
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARINIG: JUNE 26, 1979
DATE CF REPORT: JUNE 20, 1979
REPORTID BY: DALE C. RUNnE, CITY PLANNER
Application Submitted
An application has been submitted for preliminary plat, Thomas Lake Heights, which
consists of approximately 100 acres and contains 115 single family lots and two (2)
large outlots.
Carments
1. The Thomas Lake Heights plat is the first residential development to be developed
within the Blackhawk Park Planned Development. From the origin of this planned
development there have been several changes. First, a 15 acre pE+rcel was sold for
an elementary school. Second, the alignment of Thomas Lake Road has shifted to the
north to provide better road access to County Road 30. Third, there was a zoning
trade which transpired between the City of Eagan and Dunn & Curry. The trade which
was made allowed the commercial property on County Road 30 and Thomas Lake Road to
move to the northwest quadrant of County Road 30 and Pilot Knob Road. The commercial
land at County Road 30 and Thomas Lake Road was replaced with an R-3 land use, mixed
residential, 6-12 units/acre.
2. Because of the shift of Thomas Lake Road the City is now in the process of
re-evaluating the park land on the west side of Heine Lake. Because the park land
is being platted as an outlot at this time and development will not occur on this
outlot, the proposed plat will not hinder the City's decision to accept or reject
the proposed park land.
3. The zoning on the portion of the plat which is being developed is designated
as R-1 and R-4 land uses. The R-1 is single family with a density of 0-3 units/acre;
the R-4 is multiple with a density of 12 units +/acre. The developer is proposing
to develop this portion of the plat with an R-1 density, single family lots which
would yield approximately 2 units/acre.
4. Outlot A, which is not being developed at this time however, in the future the
developer is proposing to construct garden apartments at an R-3 density, 6-12 units/acre.
5. Outlot C, another outlot not being developed at this time will have a density
of R-2, mixed residential--3-6 units/acre.
t
Zhoaw Lake Heights

Page 2
6. The entire plat consists of 100 acres. Of this 100 acre, 34.3 will be
platted as outlots and only 65 acres would develop into single family dwellings.
7. There are a substantial number of lots which do not meet the normal width
requirement for a single family lot. However, all lot areas are 12,000 square
feet or greater in size. The Beacon Hills Planned Development was the only
other plat that the City has deviated from the 85 foot mininum width for a
single family residential lot.
8. Thomas Lake Road is a collector street. The plat has been designed to have
all lots obtain access from internal or residential streets.
9. The Park Coamittee has informally reviewed the Zhamas Lake Heights plat. Their
main concern was to get a trail connection between Balsam Lane and the cul-de-sac
within Heine Addition. The developer is proposing to dedicate the requested
trailway. The Eagan Park Ooamittee will take formal action on Thomas Lake Heights
plat at their July meeting.
10. There are two (2) cul-de-sacs, Ponderosa Court and Greenwood Point, which exceed
the 500 foot maxim m requirement. If approved, the variances for these cul-de-sacs would
be granted.
If approved, the plat should be subject to the following conditions:
1. All lots which abut Thomas Lake Road will have restricted access.
F
2. The density and type of structure should be indicated for each outlot so the
future property owners will know in advance what the future development plans are
for Outlots A and C
3. Outlot D should be designated as a trailway on the final plat.

MV TO: ADVISORY PLANNING OQMMISSION AND
DAIS C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
FROM: THCMS A. COLBERT, DIRECTOR OE' PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: JUNE 18, 1979
SUBJECT: PRELIlUNARY PLAT THCPW LAKE HEIGHTS ADDITION
(DUNN & CURRY REAL ESTATE)
The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department has the following
comments to make in the consideration of the above referenced proposed
preliminary plat:
UTILITIES
Sanitary sewer and water main ofsuffici-ent size and depth has been provided
within Thomas Lake Road to service this proposed plat. Internal sanitary
sewer and water main distribution systems will be designed and/or approved
by the City prior to their installation.
STREETS
Access to this plat will be provided by the presently under construction j
Thomas Lake Road collector street. This plat shows seven (7) cul-de-sacs I,
of which three (3) require the approval of a variance to the 500 foot
length according to our present subdivision ordinance. The Engineering
Division has reviewed the topography in conjunction with the proposed
street layout and find that these excessive length cul-de-sacs are un-
avoidable due to elevation differentials. Greenwood Lane is recommended
to be redesigned to eliminate the small "bubble" cul-de-sac on the northeast
corner. It is also felt that with a slight redesign and minor grading that
the Balsam Point cul-de-sac could be eliminated by continuing it to the south
and connecting with Greenwood Lane. Staff would like to request direction
from the Planning Commission and the Council in the extent of scrutinizing
that should be done in relationship to the elimination of cul-de-sacs in
order to alleviate future maintenance problems for the general tax paying
public.
E'ASEIEFTS AND R.O.W.
All easements and rights-of-way as indicating on the preliminary plan submitted
dated may 30, 1979 is acceptable according to current city requirements. Drainage
and utility easements adjacent to property lines as indicated on same preliminary
plat is also in accordance with City standards. Appropriate drainage and utility
easements incorporating drainage basins mist be reviewed and approved by Staff
prior to final plat approval. F

Thaws Lake Heights Addition
June 18, 1979 .
Page 2
DRAINAGE
Drainage for this plat is proposed to be handled by a series of on-site
drainage basins which will interconnect with the presently under construction
Thanas Lake to Blackhawk Lake trunk storm sewer system. A series of internal
storm sewer laterals and catch basins will be required during the utility
design phase. Prior to final plat approval it is reconnended that a grading
and drainage plan showing individual lot drainage patterns and proposed house
elevations be submitted and approved by the City.
CONSIDERATIONS FOR APPROVAL
The following cmu ents should be considered in the final approval of the
above referenced plat:
1. Drainage and utility easements be provided as required by the
City Engineer prior to final plat approval.
2. A grading and drainage plan be approved by the City Engineer
prior to final plat approval.
3. An 8 foot trail be constructed within Outlot B adjacent to Heine
First Addition as a part of the street inprovenent project.
Mr. Rosen and I will be available to answer and further questions or comments
at the June 26 Planning C u fission meeting.

Mr. Ed Dunn

Edina, MIN 55435
Dear Mr. Dunn:
The Eagan Advisory Park Committee has requested an evaluation
of the park dedication in that portion of the Blacthawk Park
PUD which lies between County Road 30 and Cliff Road. As a part of that evaluation I am requesting your resronse to
the suggestion of eliminating the area nest of 144ne Pond as
future park dedication in exchange for provision for a 60 foot
interior trail for non-motorized use along an alignment similar
to what is shown in red on the attached drawing or a satisfactory
substitute. The purpose of this trail link would be to provide
a connection from the Eagan Park High Line Trail to Holland Jensen
Park for use by horses and cross-country skiers.
City staff has met with Orrin Thompson and provision will be made
for this trail connection through the present Almquist property
along the alignment of the William Bros. pipeline.
Therefore the City is most anxious to workout a satisfactory
alignment for the northern link through your property.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. !
a
Sincerely yours,
Barb Schmidt
Eagan Park Director

MEMO TO: PARK COMMITTEE
FROM: RECREATION PROGRAMMER
DATE: JULY 11, 1979
RE: RECREATION REPORT - SUMMER PROGRAMS - FALL PROGRAM IDEAS
Summer recreation programs are in full swing.
Registrations for Summer In the Park are up from a year ago. Daily
attendance has been excellent. We are now beginning to experience
the annual hot weather/vacation drop in numbers of children. The
first field trip to Apple Rollerway was attended by 219 children.
Tiny Tots classes were filled by noon on the second day of registration.
The leaders are doing excellent work in providing a variety of activities
for the 3, 4 and 5 year olds.
Registrations for Tumbling and Dance are down at Northview School. Perhaps
the gasoline situation is a factor as all'of the children must arrive by
car. Participation at Rahn School is more stable. The recital is scheduled
for Thursday evening, August 2 at 7:00 P.M. at Pilot Knob School.
i
Attendance at the Teen Center is similar to last year. The foosball table
is in constant use. The leaders are interacting with the teenagers
very well.
The following Fall programs are now being considered:
Volleyball - to begin the week of October 1. Gymnasiums will be reserved
at Northview Pilot Knob and Thomas Lake Elementary schools. Sessions
will be designated for couples, women and men. This will be open volley-
ball, not league play.
Tiny Tots - Because the summer program is so well received, a fall eight
week session, ending just before Thanksgiving is being considered. We
must find a site and staff.
Halloween Party on Saturday, October 27, 1979. 2 - 4 PM for grades K - 4.
We are considering using Rahn School rather than the park building because
of the large numbers of children. Should we have a rainy day, we'd be
paralyzed in the park building.
Additional CPR sessions are under consideration. The three school districts
have offered this also and we may have reached the saturation point.
Gun Safety Training. The police department handles this, however we shall
approach them to offer a class during the month of September.
Suggestions from the Park Committee would be appreciated concerning pro-
gram needs you see in the community.
ADDENDUM To , INC. W N 2 c

MEMO TO: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
FROM: PARK DIRECTOR SCHMIDT
DATE: JUNE 8, 1979
SUBJECT: PARK COMMITTEE RECOr NDATION ON WINDTREE
i
At the June 7, 1979, meeting of he Eagan Advisory Park Committee,
the following action was taken relative to the above named item.
Martin moved and Gits seconded a motion to recommend approval of
park dedication for Windtree as resented with the exception that
the two parcels of land which have no public access not be included
but be platted with the lots, th t the South access be redrawn as
shown on the concept plan and fu ther subject to staff verifying
that the water levels shown for he ponds are accurate. All members
voted in favor and representatives of Njakwa expressed agreement
with the recommended changes. A copy of the concept plan is attached.
The committee considered the following factors when making this re-
commendation:
1. The previously ap roved park dedication in the Gopher-
Eagan PUD will no provide adequate space for instal-
lation of neighbo hood park facilities due to the
steep slopes and onds contained on the site.
2. Land within Section 13 currently zoned Industrial is
likely to be down zoned for residential use.
3. Residents of this neighborhood are isolated from other
city parks by distance and barriers such as Highway 49.

PARR COMMITTEE AGENDA
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
_1I. City Administrator Hedges will report on recent actions of the City
- Council relative to parks which include:
- a. Authorization for the hiring of Tom Schuster as tree inspector
for the 1979 season.
b. Approval of a samom change order to construct a 10 foot bituminous
trail on the south side of Westcott Road.
III. Windcrest Addition
A. City staff has recommended that park dedication for this plat
consist of a greenway connection from the Civic Center Site heading toward
Patrick Eagan Park. This would provide a trail link suitable for
recreational use and would allow scheduling,for example, of cross country
ski classes in a city building with easy access to nearby park facilities.
It would also provide a loop connection via the trail through Hilltop
Estates into Patrick Eagan Park. The Civic Center site contains little
land suitable for outdoor recreational use and this greenway would
provide a connection to nearby park facilities. An additional link
would need to be obtained when the McCarthy property develops. See drawing
in planning report.
Neighborhood park needs for this section will probably be satisfied in
part by purchase of 5 acres north of Patrick Eagan Park rather than
west of the park as previously proposed as McCarthys are resistant to selling
their frontage along Deerwood Drive. See map exhibit in attached neighborhood
study.
B. Windtree Addition
This development is south of park land previously committed
to be dedicated in the Gopher Eagan plat. City staff has suggested additional
park dedication within this plat contiguous to the Gopher Eagan Park. This
neighborhood park will be larger than normal , but much of the land previously
committed is steep slopes and ponds.
The neighborhood study shows a need for a small park, however
there is a possibility that more industrial land will be rezoned for
residential use within this section. This recommendation will be made as
part of the camp plan process. This neighborhood is also isolated from the
rest of the city park system.
C. Thomas Lake Heights
Staff will review a proposal for platting the area west of Thomas
Lake School. The Heine Pond area is not included at this time. A trailway
connection is proposed to the trailway Heine First Addition as staff has
previously recommended
e
A sketch plan will be requested of the outlot on the west edge of

f sl _ v-1 T { s~ s.4 # fnr t 4~.+~d- its r~~~~ k.
- D.----Canterbury Forest is located north of park land greenway dedicated under
the Lexington South PUD on the northern border of the plat for Ches Mar I.
The committee may wish to direct staff to pursue provision of a trailway
connection leading south, possibly between Lots 13 & 14, Block 2, to provide
- for internal access from the neighborhood to this greenway with surfacing
to be done by the developer with road construction.
E. Ches Mar II & III
The committee may wish to direct staff to pursue a
trailway leading north from this plat to the same greenway referred to in
the preceeding item.
IV. A. Park Department
1. Rahn Thomas Park Trail - According to the State Planning Agency
only trails which provide a specific recreational function will be considered
as amendments to the cities Lawon/State grant for 90% funding for trail construction.
Therefore it appears that a trail to the Thomas Lake Prairie Area would meet
these guidelines while trail connections through Evergreen Park will not.
Park Director Schmidt is requesting permission from the City Council to
pursue an amendment and change order to accomplish this construction. See
attached memo to City Council. A progress report will be made to the
committee at the meeting. The Park Committee may wish to endose this proposal.
2. FY 1980 Grant Proposals - Meetings on grant criteria
have made it apparant that a grant for additional land for the Section 9
Community Park would be most likely to rank highly for consideration for
funding. Part Committee input on grant proposals is also an important
criteria. Therefore the committee should consider making an official
recommendation regarding this and other potential grant proposals.
3. A neighborhood study for Section 14 is enclosed for review and
comment.
V. Special Meetings
A. The Trails Subcommittee may wish to set a date for
their next meeting.
B. The topic of the next comprehensive plan meeting, to be held
June 12, 1979 at 7:00 P.M. at the City Hall will be the Sketch Plan which
will show anticipated densities and potential park sites and will point out
those neighborhoods where smaller than standard parks may be desired.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
1. Summer Programs begin June 18. Four sessions of Tiny Tots
filled by noon of the second day. First sessions of tennis and
golf lessons are filling rapidly. However few registrations have
been received for the new Theatre Experience at Pilot Knob School.
- Flyers were sent home with the students Friday but this class will
be cancelled unless registrations increase quickly.

Applications Submitted
1. An application has been submitted requesting to rezone 80 acres fran A,
Agricultural to 15.7 acres to R-1, Residential Single District; 3.9 acres
to R-2, Resdiential Double District; and, 32.0 acres to R-3, Residential
Townhouse District.
2. The second application has been submitted for a preliminary plat (Windcrest
Addition) which would consist of 77 acres and eontain236 dwelling units.
Camients
1. The proposed plat would consist of 77 acres and contain 236 dwelling units.
The Windcrest Addition plan would have a density of 3 units per acres. The
average single family density is between 2 and 2.4 units per acre.
2. Presently the parcel is zoned agricultural and the Land Use Guide indicates
that this area should develop at an R-2 density (mixed residential 3-6 units/acre).
3. The plat indicates that 3 different types of housing units are used. Mis
would be 28 single family units; 4 duplexes (8 units); and, 50 townhouses; 200 dwelling
units.
4. The plat appears to be well designed and provides continuity. to the surrounding
parcels. A) Denmark Avenue provides the north/south residential collector which
connects Wescott Road with Deerwood Drive. Dem ark Avenue also follows the major
street plan for this area. B) Windcrest land is stubbed to the west property line,
to tie in to a future street in the 40 acres the City owns. C) Crestview Lane will
also be stubbed to the east property line to provide access to the east.
5. The City Staff has suggested that there be a connection fiat the coma- city center
and Patrick Eagan Park. rIhe developer is proposing to dedicate 14 acres to allow
this connection. This has not been reviewed by the Park Camnittee. If the Park
Committee rejects this park concept, the revised plan will return to the Planning
Conmission for review.

If approved, the plat should be subject to the following conditions:
1. The intersection of Denmark Avenue and Wescott Road should have 90o
intersection istead of the proposed angle.
k 2. Two tot lots should be provided within the townhouse development to
serve the needs of the preschoolers. The developer should also contribute
costs to the Homeowners Association so the tot lots can be developed. This
can be worked out as part of the development agreement.
3. The bylaws of the Homewoners Association should be submitted with the
development agreement.
4. Deerwood Drive should have a 40 foot half right-of-way instead of the
proposed 33 foot.
5. Lots 18, 19 and 20 should be extended to the west property line to
include unusable parkland into lots.

FROM: THOMAS A. COLBERT, DIRECIM OF PUBLIC WORKS 1
{
DATE: MAY 17, 1979
SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT WINDCREST ADDITION (NIAKKA, INC.) - _ - # 1
s '
The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department has the following cannents
to make in regards to the proposed plat referenced above:
L
I. UTILITIES
- Water service will be provided to this plat by looping the existing 12 inch
trunk water main on Deerwood Road with the presently under-contract 12 inch
water main along Wescott Road. The northerly one-third of this proposed
plat-will be serviced with sanitary sewer main fran Wescott Road. The southerly
two-thirds will have to be serviced through the trunk sanitary sewer provided on
Deerwood Drive recnAring the construction of a lift station in this plat because
of the topographic elevation differential. This lift station installation will
be part of a trunk sanitary sewer main construction that will ultimately service
approximately 900 - 1000 acres adjacent to and to the east of this property.
Subsequently, a petition will have to be submitted for this extension as the
assessments will be spread over the entire sewer trunk district area.
II. STREETS
Access to this plat will be provided by the presently under construction Wescott t
Road a major collector, Denmark Avenue a minor collector, and Deerwood Drive a
minor collector. Because Deerwood Drive is presently an unimproved gravel
roadway, it will have to be improved from Pilot Knob Road to the east property
line of Windcrest Addition. Because Wescott Road is a major collector, no
direct access should be allowed onto it from private lots.
III. EASEMENTS AND-RIGHTS-OF-WAY
Because of the classification of Wescott Road and Denmark Avenue, the following
right-of-way will be required rather than the normal 60 foot residential
requirement:
1. Wescott Road 100 foot right-of-way
2. Denmark Avenue 80 foot right-of-way
3. Deerwood Drive 80 foot right-of-way
In addition to the typical front and side yard easements, additional drainage
and utility easements will be required to incorporate the high water elevation
of 818 circumventing the pond located in the southwesterly corner of this
proposed plat. Additional easements will also be required to incorporate the
looping of water mains and extensions of storm sewer and sanitary sewer down
Common lot lines.

IV. GRADING AMID DRAINAGE
Surface runoff generated from this plat will be directed into a storm
-sewer system provided along Wescott Road which will service the-northerly
25% of this plat. The remaining 75% of the runoff will be directed to
the on-site storm water detention basin that is part of our master storm
sewer plan located in the southwest corner of this plat. Because of the
roiling topography of this 80 acres, a certain amount of excavation will
be required to provide for the proper street grades in this plat. No
problem is anticipated with this work.
V. ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
In the approval of this preliminary plat, the following items should be
considered as conditions of approval:
1. Property owner must submit a petition for the improvement of Deerwood
Drive to the east property line of this plat.
2. Sufficient right-of-way shall be dedicated to provide for the required
100 foot right-of-way of Wescott Road; 80 foot right-of-way for Denmark
Avenue; and, an 80 foot right-of-way for Deerwood Drive.
3. Five foot drainage and utility easement should be dedicated adjacent
to all cccmmn property lines, a 10 foot drainage and utility easement
adjacent to all street right-of-way,_._; additional drainage and utility
easements adjacent to storm water ponding areas and along utility extensions
as approved by the City Engineer.
4. Petition for the public improvement of the installation of a sanitary
sewer lift station and trunk water main extension through this plat must
be submitted.
I will be available at the Planning CmTnission meeting of may 22 to answer any
additional questions that may arise.
Respectfully submitted,

NEIGHBORHOOD 22 STUDY
Methology for saturation population of Neighborhood 22
In the determination of the amount of open space or
park space needed for Neighborhood 22 the following procedures
were used:
1) The determination of the boundaries of Neighborhood 22-.-'---
2) To define the already developed areas within
Neighborhood 22 and determine the holding capacity
when these developments have a 100 per cent
saturation of population.
3) The determination of the amount of undeveloped
land within Neighborhood 22 and project the
holding capacity at 1,00 per cent population
saturation. This is done in accordance with
Eagan's Land Use Guide.
The three factors above will define the saturation of
population (or holding capacity) -when neighborhood 22 is
100 per cent developed. Once the estimated number of
people have been calculated.for Neighborhood 22 a determination
may be made for the amount of f
park land which should be
provided for Neighborhood 22.
I. NEIGHBORHOOD BOUNDARIES
Attached Exhibit "A" illustrates the neighborhood
boundaries used in this study. The boundaries are the north
section line of Section 22. (The future alignment of
Wescott Road, to the south; County Road Number 30; to
the east, County Road Number 43 (Lexington Ave.) and to the
west, County Road Number 31 (Pilot Knob Road). The boundary
lines mentioned above include all of Section 22.
Saturation Population
The projected holding capacity or saturation population
of Neighborhood 22 is estimated -between 5,224 and 8,410
people. This was determined by the number of dwelling units,
committed by approved subdivisions and preliminary plats.
The remaining undeveloped land was then calculated according
to the Land Use Guide. 3

*The zoning map has the remaining land in agricultural
use at this time, however, the Land Use Guide has this
area defined as Rll 3-6, units per acre.
Table 2 shows the breakdown of the remaining undeveloped
land in Neighborhood 22. The holding capacity was then
determined by using a low and high density according to
Eagan's Land Use Guide. The low population saturation was
calculated by using 3 units per acre and the high population
saturation was determined by using 6 units per acre.
II. PARK AREA STANDARDS
Park area or open space needs are generally expressed
in the number of ball fields, tennis courts, etc. for a
given population. This information is revised periodically
and there is not one recognized authoritative source.
Rather the source used for this study was 'a combination where
in there seemed to be general but not exact agreement.

The requirements are generally as follows: - - - -
Tennis courts l court for each 1,500 people
Play areas 1 play area for each 1,000 people
Softball Field 1 field for each 3,000 people
Football Field 1 field for each 10,000 people
Neighborhood Park Area 2 acres for each 1,000 people
_III. PARK AREA NEEDS NEIGHBORHOOD 22 - -
In reference to Table land 2, Neighborhood 22 has a
holding capacity between 5,224 and 8,410 people. According
to Park Area Standards the need for active neighborhood
facilities are as follows:
Tennis.Courts According to the holding capacity
of Neighborhood 22, 4 to 6 tennis
courts are needed to satisfy the
park requirements. These courts
should be centrally located and
accessible by all people
within the neighborhood.
Play Areas According to the requirements
stated above, ,5 to 8 play areas
should be provided. However,
Eagan's plans are for larger
and fewer parks within the neigh-
borhood. With Patrick Eagan
Park located in the eastern
portion of the neighborhood
it may be advisable to request
larger and fewer play areas
more centrally located in
Neighborhood 22.
Softball Fields 1 to 2 softball fields should
be provided in Neighborhood 22.
If possible an active area
should be incorporated in Patrick
Eagan Park to accomodate the
active park requirements.
Neighborhood Park Area Neighborhood 22 has apparent need
for approximately 10 to 16 acres
(2.acres, 1000 people) of neighborhood
park that can accomodate active
park development. Patrick Eagan
Park (a passive park) should
incorporate 10-16 acres of land
for active activities. If
this is not possible, then 10-
16 acres should be obtained
in a centrally located area within '
Neighborhood 22 {
i
f
Neighborhood 22 j
Page 4
- IV.-- LOCATION OF FACILITIES IN NEIGHBORHOOD 22 - - The location of the facilities mentioned above may
possible be located in Patrick Eagan Park. This park contains
approximately 96 acres of which 10 to 16.aeres may be
converted to active park area. Since this park is within
3/4 of a mile walking distance from any dwelling unit in
the neighborhood the location would be suitable to meet the
active needs of this---area. - - - - - -
If this park is not feasible to provide for the active
needs of Neighborhood 22 the alternative location for the
10-16 acre of active park land should be located in the
SW; of the NE; of Section 21. Axhibit A will site the
alternative location of the proposed active park.

V. SUMMARY
Although there is approximately 96 acres of passive park Ri.
area in Neighborhood 22, some active park land should be
acquired to fulfill the active park requirements. This
should either be incorporated into the Patrick Eagan Park
or acquired elsewhere if the topography is not feasible
for active needs listed above. With the additional 10-
16 acres of park land 'all the park requirements should be
met for the neighborhood activities.
7X' Presently there are proposed trails which will provide
access to the east side 'of Patrick Eagan Park. As development
occurs to the west of the park, a trail system should be
provided so access may be acquired on the west side of Patrick
Eagan Park. This would allow good internal circulation
within the neighborhood and provide adequate access to i
Patrick Eagan Park.

Applications Submitted
1. The first application is a request to rezone 101 acres from I-1, Light
Industrial District to R-1, Residential Single District approximately 75
acres and approximately 14 acres to R-4, Residential Multiple District.
2. The second application is for preliminary plat (Windtree Addition) which
consists of 101 acres and would contain 137 single family lots and one outlot.
Comments
1. Presently, the zoning on the proposed parcel is I-1, Limited Industrial
District. However, when looking at the topography and terrain of this parcel
it would be very difficult to develop this parcel as. an industrial site.
2. Due to the topography, the proposed site is very difficult to design.
The developer has done a very good job in laying out the development with the
existing topography and should minimize the amount of excavation which would
be required on the site. In reviewing _t -proposed--dewlopnent. Nttlgt A is

revie,,e the Park Committee at this time and" if' the Park Cannittee does not
accept Outlot A as park dedication, the developer will review the revised
preliminary plat with the Advisory Planning Committee.
3. There would need to be two variances on the proposed plat on cul-de-sacs
which exceed the 500 foot maximum length requirement. These are.Elrene Court,
which is approximately 600 feet in length and Vuecrest Court, which is approximately
680 feet in length.
If approved the plat should be subject to the following conditions:
1. All access should be off of internal streets instead of the collectors which
are Wescott Road and Elrene Road.
2. If Outlot A is not accepted for park land,.Outlot A should be replatted and
should be submitted for the Planning Camtmtission to review.

MEMO T0: ADVISORY PLANNIM COMMISSION AND
DALE C. KJNnE, CITY PLANTER
FROM: THOMAS A. COIBERT, DIRS=R CF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE : MAY 17, 1979
SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT-- WINDTREE ADDITION (NIAI0M, INC.) E
3
1
Engineering Division of the Public Works Department has the following cam ents
to offer in relation to the above referenced proposed plat:
I. UTILITIES
Sanitary sewer service will be provided by the trunk main located along
Elrene Road. This is of sufficient size and depth to service the entire
plat with provision that approximately 10 to 12 feet of fill will be
required in portions of Block 3 and Block 4, adjacent to Windtree Drive
to provide gravity sewer service for those lots. Water main service will
i
be provided by the 12 inch water main along Elrene Road and the 16 inch
main on Wescott Road. The proposed extension of the existing sewer main
on Elrene Road to Vuecrest Lane will have to be provided along the east
boulevard of Elrene Road to eliminate disruption of the existing improved
road.
II. STREE'T'S
Access to this proposed plat is being provided by the existing improved
sections of Elrene Road and Wescott Road. These existing streets are of
sufficient design standards to handle the anticipated traffic frm this
plat.
The proposed Vuecrest Court cul-de-sac is 670 feet long; the maximum allowed
by ordinance is 500 feet. This fact, together with the proposed layout
showing both Ridgewood and Windtree having access onto Wescott Road it
would be advisable to continue this Vuecrest Court toward the east to its
connection with Windtree Drive and eliminate the connection of Ridgewood
Drive onto Wescott Road. Preliminary indications are that the number of
lots would remain approximately equal with this suggested revision. This
would eliminate the need for a variance on the excess length of the cul-de-
sac and el' nat th ex a ace of.Ridgewood Drive onto Wescott Road, which is
a major east~MF coT or in le Ci~tYy
III. EASEMENTS AMID RIGHT'S-OF-WAY
Sufficient right-of-way has already been dedicated for Elrene Road and Wescott
Road. Typical drainage and utility easements will be required to be 5 foot in
width adjacent to all side and rear property lines and 10 foot adjacent to all
street right-of-ways with the exception that additional drainage and utility
easements will be required adjacent to proposed pond.ing area. The limits of
these will be approved by the City prior to the final plat application.

IV. GRADING AMID DRAINAGE
Runoff from this proposed plat will be handled by an internal storm sewer
system which will directed into proposed storm water ponding area in the
southeast corner of Outlot A. Same additional minor runoff will be directed
into the existing storm sewer system presently located within Elrene Road at
the intersection of Windtree Drive and Elrene Road. Because of the existing
topography, there will be substantial amounts of grading to provide the site
with sanitary sewer service.as mentioned previously and also to provide the
proper street grade in this plat.
V. COMMITS FOR CONSIDERATION
1. 'Ihe plat should show a dedication of a 40 foot half right-of-way for
Elrene Read and a 50 foot half right-of-way for Wescott Road.
2. A 5 foot drainage and utility easement should be dedicated adjacent
to all property lines and a .10 foot drainage and utility easement dedicated
adjacent to all street right-of-way.
3. Additional drainage and utility easements should be dedicated to the
approval of the City Engineer incorporating the proposed high water elevation
of any drainage pond area within this plat.
4. The proposed plat be revised to show the extension of Vuecrest Court to
Windtree Drive with the elimination of the Ridgewood Drive access onto
Wescott Road.
I will be available for further comments at the Planning Commission meeting of
May 22, 1979.
Respectfully submitted,
Ztwmas A. Colbert, P.E.

MEMO TO: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
FROM: PARK DIRECTOR SCHMIDT
DATE: JUNE 1, 1979
-=-------SUBJECT: -ITEM FOR 6-5-79 COUNCIL MEETING - -
ADDITION TO RAHN-THOMAS TRAIL
Bids for the Rahn Thomas Trail construction, Phase I, came in
considerably lower than the engineer's estimate. The total
project cost estimate was $80,000 with 90%'State and lawcon
funding. Approximately $14,000 is still available which can
be used for additional trail construction if the proposed
addition meets state guidelines. Such a trail must serve a
specific recreational function rather than simply providing
a link to or through other facilities.
The State Planning Agency would consider a trail into the
native prairie area in Thomas Lake Park as meeting these
criteria. Members of the Eagan Garden Club who have partici-
pated in wildflower planting projects in this area have
requested an access trail which would open the area to public
viewing and to nature study classes from nearby Thomas Lake
School and would also serve as a hiking, biking trail.
Construction of this trail could be accomplished by change
order to the current construction contract for the High Line
Trail.
Trailways through Evergreen Park leading to the school would
not meet the grant criteria. Using these funds to construct a
link in the Meadowlands area would be unwise at this time
because of potential utility crossings which are presently
undetermined and grant funds have already been allocated for
future construction of that portion of the High Line Trail.
ACTION REQUESTED: Council approval to request to grant contracts
to add spur trail in Thomas Lake Park. f
Council authorization to negotiate change order to Project 79-4 for this construction.
