III. Development Proposals
i
A. Delaware Hills '
At the 9-4-79 City Council Meeting, a number of residents
expressed concerns about the proposed park dedication in
Inver Grove Heights. A petition with 106 signatures was
Background Information
Page 2
submitted opposing the location of the active park area.
It was noted that the original concept plan for Bur Oaks
Park showed a.-ball diamond and an athletic court and that
many of the residents had voted for the 1971 bond proposal
based on this plan. The residents felt that the Park Committee
and City Council should require dedication of land for active
facilities in the area adjacent to Bur Oaks Park rather
than in Inver Grove Heights, a distance of possibly one mile
from the existing park. The City Council referred the
plat back to the Park Committee for reconsideration of the
park dedication recommendation based on these concerns.
On Friday, 9-6-79, City Planner Dale Runkle, Public Works
Director Tom Colbert, City Consulting Engineer Bob Rosene,
Park Director Barb Schmidt and Park Committee Chairperson
Myrel Lundsten met with Mr. Parranto and Mr. Fillippi to
discuss possible flat land within the plat to accommodate
a ball diamond and an athletic court.
A major concern was the fact that the normal ordinary high
water level has still not been determined by the Department
of Natural Resources. Bob Rosene will contact the DNR first
thing Monday to attempt to obtain this information.
The lake is currently at 813.2 as of 8-30-79. A lift station
is being proposed by the engineering department to alleviate
the current high water situation and to handle future runoff.
It is felt that the level will be established at a lower
elevation than currently exists. The Eagan storm sewer plan
calls for an 800 elevation with 817 as the 100 year storm elevation.
Mr. Fillippi will discuss a proposal to accommodate the
installation of a ball diamond on Lots 7, 8 and 9., Block 11
adjacent to the pond. Mr. Parranto has agreed to hold back
three additional lots from development to allow for additional
park dedication if the elevations set by the DNR do not allow ;
for grading adjacent to the first three lots to provide
adequate space for a ball diamond. It is felt that an athletic y
court could be provided within the existing park when the
water level is lowered. F
B. Lone Oak Heights
Park dedication for these two parcels was satisfied when
Mr. Sheilds dedicated four acres of land for Pilot Knob Park
Staff has recommended trail connections from each lot connecting
to the trail in the park which leads to the school and an
additional 10 foot easement to Pilot Knob Rd. to accommodate
Background Information
Page 3
a potential future crossing of Pilot Knob Rd. The developer
will present a proposal to show where these pedestrian trails j
could be located. There would be no credit required or given II
relative to the trails.
Those portions creating the connection to the park trail
would be expected to be constructed by the developer with
street construction.
There is an additional problem relative to this plat. A
correction has been made to the survey done by Dakota County
for Pilot Knob Park. However the corner markers have not
been moved because Mr. Shields has not signed the corrected
legal description.
This correction will involve a minimal correction to this
plat, however, the plat should not be approved until the cor-
rection is completed.
C. Metram
This plat was reviewed informally by the Committee at
the last meeting.
City Planner Runkle will discuss the Section Study for
this area as requested by the Committee.
D. Zachman Homes
The preliminary plat for Zachman Homes was reviewed by
the Park Committee at the 7-12-79 meeting but no final
action was taken.
The preliminary Park Committee recommendation is contained
in the 8-28-79 memo to City Administrator Hedges. This
plat was continued at the 9-4-79 City Council Meeting.
Additional Information which the committee may wish to include
in their final recommendation is as follows:
An additional trail to the proposed parkland to the North
is also included in the plat. The committee may also
wish to require this dedication as a trailway with construction
to the surface to be done by the developer with street
construction.
It is recommended by Staff that definition of parkland
to be dedicated with development of the Rahn Park Expansion
area (if the grant application is not funded and the City
elects not to pursue this acquisition) be delayed until
such time as a final plat for that area is received.
Background Information
Page 4
The amount of cash required to complete the park dedication
requirement has been calculated to be $3,438.00. This amount
could be accepted as dedication at this time rather than
being placed in an escrow account as was previously suggested.
E. Tilsen Homes - Eden Addition
This preliminary plat was reviewed at the 7-12-79 Park
Committee meeting but no final action was taken. See 8-28-79
report to City Administrator for review of Park Committee
preliminary recommendations.
Additional Information: At the 8-28-79 Advisory Planning
Commission meeting the planning commission attached the
following condition to their approval of this plat:
"That the developer shall provide an easement along Outlot
A for pedestrian access to connect to the trail system to
the North as required by the City. The Easement would be
from Beecher Drive to the NSP power line easement."
This plat was approved at the 9-4-79 City Council Meeting.
Bob Rosene will be present at the Park Committee meeting to
discuss the latest information from the Highway Department
regarding 35E in relation to the High Line Trail in this
area to assist the Committee in making their recommendation.
The additional cash dedication required to complete the
Park dedication has been calculated and amounts to $13,953 to be
paid to the Park Site Fund. .
Grading of the High Line Trail Area should be subject to
approval by the City Engineer.
IV. Park Department Business
1. Rahn Thomas Trail
Has not been completed due to poor weather conditions.
2. Park Contract #4
Has also not been completed.
3. FY 1980 Lawson Grant Ranking
Eagan's grant proposal for additional land to expand
Rahn Park has been ranked #11 in the area of planned
urbanization. It is not yet possible to determine where
the funding cutoff will be because the total amount of
available funds is not yet known. Since two of the
higher ranked applications are for small projects, it
+

is possible that the grant application will be funded but
it does not appear that we are in as good a position as we
were last year.
4. Eagan's Fall Recreation Programs will be published as
an additional page to be inserted in the Eagan Newsletter
which will be delivered to all Eagan homes the second week
of September. See attachment. Please note art work by
CETA Staff Artist.
V. Special Meetings - The annual meeting to determine the uses
for federal revenue sharing funds will be held Sept. 18 at
the Eagan City Hall at 7:00 p.m. For the past several years
these funds have been allocated to pay for the new police
facility. Park Committee members may wish to offer additional
suggestions to the Council.
VI. Staff will review the status of three development proposals
recently reviewed by the Park Committee:

CITY OF EAGAN
SUBJECT: REVISIONS TO SOUTH DELAWARE PRELIMINARY PLAT
PETITIONER: MR. RICHARD PARRANTO
IiOC'ATION: SEh OF SWTION 12
EXISTING ZONING: PD, PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: AUGUST 28, 1979
DATE OF REPORT: AUGUST 22, 1979
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
Application Submitted
An application has been submitted for the Advisory Planning Commission to review
changes from the original preliminary plat of South Delaware Hills.
Comments
1. At the July 17, 1979 Council meeting the Eagan City Council extended the timing
for the South Delaware Hills preliminary plat. According to Ordinance 10, there is
only a 6 month time period to allow the transition from preliminary plat to final
plat approval. Therefore, Mr. Parranto has preliminary plat approval of South
Delaware Hills.
2. The proposed reviesed plat will consist of 120.4 acres and will contain 95
single family lots and 82 duplex lots and 4 outlots.
3. The land uses within the plat have all rer fined the same. The only changes
are street locations and an addition of a 10 acres portion on the south which
originally was included in the legal description but was not platted. Bur Oaks
Drive has shifted approximately 150 feet to the west to allow lots to be platted
on both sides of the street instead of one side of the street as originally platted.
4. The streets in the western portion of the plat have been shifted around also
to provide for better traffic circulation. The accesss into T.H. 49 has been moved
to the south. The new plan has been sent to MnDOT for their review.
5. The plan has also been reviewed by the Eagan Park Committee. The proposed
parkland meets all the recommendations of the Park Committee.
6. All lots meet all ordinance requirements and the revised plan appears to be
an improvement over the original plan.

Dear Mayor:
This letter is being submitted per your request and, as you also requested,
will be presented to Baz-bara Sch.-nidt for her review and written comner.t. T
My objection to the currently proposed location of active park in the South `
Delaware Hills plat is based on the follo,.-ring.`-
Pa e 10-A of the October 28, 1971 edition of the ''p,-kota Co~inty T-iture"
shows a concept indludin play z~ound, picric, ballfit- all-nnrrose court,
hors?ahoo, and shelter areas for Burr Oak Park (Burrviow Pi.rk). This
helped draw support from my neighborhood whenthe park bond issue was ^assed.
Picric And cgildren's plp.y areas have been irsta.lleO; ballfield and a'_1-
.lzr^oQe court have not since these sites have proven infeasible as repre-
sented in 1971. This in£pasibility became evident before 1073. t'_er.,
a. rnr ber of residents have been under the impression a ball°i-1d site or
flat land south of the present :ark area would be adde,i to 7--hirr Oak as
active park. For many years, up until the time the ^ha.pdelaine family i
sold most of their property (about 1973), this site had been uses? by ^iary
people for ballfield and picnic area. Evidence of thi remains today in
tre form of anbaseball backstoj .
At the Advisory Planning Committee hearirc held Au~ist 23, 1077 several
neir.hborhood residents objected to the proposed development of South
Delaware Kills based on density and the additional use this wo,Lld brin;' to
the park. This hearing; was clcsed to discussion from the floor before all
questions and concerns could be addre4sed.
In the summer of 1978 a letter was written to the park committee. It j
expressed the need of neighborhood youth for a ballfield. This letter was
si red by va.rio,zs neighbors throuChout the purr Oak Park area.; including:
my wife, rennette.
Until recently, the nei tabors and I have been negligent in assiLminc; t "-e
park board would insist upon acquisition of the land adjacent to Burr Oak
Park. Now we all deeply rP ret this negliserce; especially after the
AuTzst 28, 1°70 Planning Commission hearing. 'Many neighbors and myself
j

werQ -)rAsent when floor discussion slain was closed before all concerns
or obiectionp could be voiced.
I can't sec- -iw the park committee, Navin- the best inter-sts of the
citi^ens in hind, could consider development of an a.ctiva :-ark (ballfield
ar.d court) in another city; even if this land would be deeded to Ea,^qn.
The area dedicated for active _nark in this revision is at the farthest
loc=.tion from the most densely populated portion of Section 12. In my
opinion, the most feasible site for this active park is where the ol^
backstop stands; adjacent to Burr Oak Park, and within our present ci-.,
limits. This location would be the most centr l to the entire population
o_° Section 12 and the development.
s
I agree the developer has been more than generous with the an.onnt of land
he has donated in Eagan for passive nark area. But, if we cannot con-
struct an active park for young aratilts adjacent to Purr Oak Park, I don't
see how the potential of the original ccn-n- t for this area will ever be
fulfiller?.
I ask for your support and that of the City Council in fulfillnc the
concept of Burr Cak Park with the ballfield and coutts in the flat area
adjacent to the present park. I urge denial of the South Delaware Hill.-
revised preliminary plat are that the Park Committee be asked to with~'r-
approval of the current d47: tion.

MEMO TO: MAYOR MURPHY
FROM: PARK DIRECTOR SCHMIDT
DATE: SEPTEMBER 4, 1979 j
SUBJECT: WRITTEN COMMENTS ON LETTER FROM PAUL HEUER RELATIVE
TO SOUTH DELAWARE HILLS PARK DEDICATION PER YOUR
REQUEST
The facts in Paul Heuer's letter are generally correct as they
are presented.
The original concept plan for Bur Oak Park did show a ball
diamond and a potential location for an all surface court.
This concept plan was preliminary in nature and due to a
great increase in the water level of the pond it became
apparent that a ball diamond could not be installed where it
was originally shown.
In 1977-1978, when the plat for South Delaware Hills was
submitted to the City, the Park Committee attempted to negotiate i
park dedication in the area referred to in Mr. Heuer's letter.
At one point, Mr. Parranto agreed to the dedication of five
flat lots where the old backstop stands, however, after consul-
tation with his engineering staff he informed the committee
that dedication of this area would make the,entire development
economically unfeasible.
It was at this point that the committee considered the dedication
of flat land in Inver Grove Heights to serve the need for active
park purposes in this neighborhood.

Memo-South Delaware Hills ,

r
The acreage of the park dedication in Eagan when calculated
according to the park and ponding policy equals 15.13 acres.
The developer has agreed to the installation of a storm
sewer outlet from the small pond on the trail with the
utilities for this project and will shape the NW edge of the
ponding area to allow for a 30 foot trail area above the
high water line.
The developer will provide an additional 15 foot trail ease-
ment on Lots 6 through 18 adjacent to the present 15 feet
between the lot lines and the high water mark on the large
pond and will shape the 30 foot trail area. The 60 foot
connection to the South will be platted as a public, street
rather than as park property.
The development agreement should include provisions to insure
that the grading work is completed.
Since the trail is contiguous to park land to be dedicated to
the City, the entire area including the trail should be dedi-
cated to the City in fee title.
The Park Committee considered the following facts when making
the recommendation.
The park dedication had been previously approved by the
Park Committee and recent City Council action made the
preliminary plat still valid.
No other land within the residential portion of this
neighborhood is available which is suitable for instal-
lation of ball diamonds or play field areas which have
been requested by existing residents.
I
The positive aspects of accepting flat land for parks
in another community appear to outweigh the negative
aspects of such a dedication.

Application Submitted s
An application has been submitted for a preliminary plat for an 80 unit apartment
complex and a 62 unit townhouse development on approximately a 14 acre parcel. The
developer is only proposing to plat the parcel into two (2) lots; one for the apart-
vent and one for the townhouses.
Comments
1. The applicant is proposing to develop the site as rental property and only
wishes to plat the parcel into two (2) lots. Ordinance 52.06, Subdivision 4B,
"There shall be no more than one principal building on one lot except when approved
as part of a planned development." The developer is planning on developing the
entire parcel and has submitted an over-all plan for the parcel which in effect is
the major portion of the planned development.
2. The zoning on the parcel is 1-4 (Residential Multiple); PD (Planned Development);
and, R-3 (Residential Townhouse). The developer has provided and over-all development
plan for the area and the plan is oomsist:ant with the zoning on the property.
3. The chart below is a land use breakdown of the site plan:
DWIiG UNITS PROPOSED REQ.
PARCEL USE ACRES LOT COVERAGE # DWLG UNITS ALLOWED PA1K!e ARKING
1 Apts. 5.3 ac.
(234,331 sq ft) 19.86% 80 80 208 200
2 Tanhse. 8.6 ac.
(376,352 sq ft) 12.58% 62 62.7 155 155
The apartment site plan appears to be well designed. All setbacks are met for all
buildings and parking on parcel #1. The developer has provided 21~ parking spaces
for each dwelling unit.
The access to the project is one off Pilot Knob load and one off lone Oak Road. The
roadway within the project will be a private drive and maintained by the owner of
the project. In the northeast corner of the plan there are two drives for parking
and garage.. These two drives should be connected to provide . for better traffic
'ssicn
circulation. The access should be approved by the Dakota County Plan Coimu.
because the accesses are on County roads.

Parcel 2 Townhouse Project
1. The proposed concept of the townhouse project is good. It allows the
small grouping of townhouses and open space between another grouping of
townhouses. The plan shows all of the open parking in one location which
is centrally located so the parking can be used by the entire townhouse
developzrent.
2. There is only one access to the development off Pilot Knob Read. The
internal drives will be under the ownership of the property owner. j
3. The proposed townhouse development will be owned by one party. It
will contain 62 units of which all will be rental units. According to the
developer, the development will be all market rate rentals and no subsidy
programs are intended to be used.
4. The proposed development meets all density requirements, parking requirements
and setbacks according to ordinance 52. The only requirement not met is the
requirement of platting one building per lot. rrhe developer is requesting to
plat the entire development as one lot because the project will be under one
ownership. Therefore, a variance will be required if platting is allowed this
way.
5. The developer has also indicated that he would provide a 10 foot trail
X easement between the two property lines and will construct a trail on the
portion the development would use to get to the Pilot Knob School.
6. The park dedication has been satisfied for this parcel from Martin Shield
when the City obtained Pilot Knob Park.
All in all the entire project appears to be well designed.
If approved, the plan should be subject to the following conditions:
1. That no more than 80 apartment units and 62 townhouse units be constructed
within this project.
2. The two drives be connected on the northeast portion of the plan to allow
for better traffic circulation.
3. The plat should be subject to all easements required by the City Staff.
4. A detailed grading and drainage plan be approved by the City Engineer.
5. A detailed landscape plan be approved by City Staff and a $2,000 landscape
bond be submitted with the final plat and not released until one year after the
landscaping is completed.
6. A detailed plan for the townhouse development be submitted and approved
by the City Staff.
LONE OAK HEIGHTS

7. The developer should provide a tot lot for each development to take care
of the needs of the pre-schoolers in each development.
8. A variance should be provided to allow more than one building per lot.
The development would be subject to replatting if and when any of the townhouses
are individually sold.
9. The developer shall dedicate a 10 foot trail easement between Lots 1 and 2
l \ and construct that portion of the trail that this particular development will use.
10. The driveway and parking areas shall be surfaced and concrete curbing
around the perimeter of the driveways and parking areas.

DATE: SEPTEMER 6, 1979
SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT - LONE OAK HEIGHTS (THOMAS PROKASKY)
The Public Works Department has the following comments to make in reference
to the above proposed plat:
UTILITIESS
Water main facilities to service this proposed plat are of sufficient size and
located adjacent to this plat along the west side of County Road 31 (Pilot
Knob Road) and along the south side of County Road 26 (Lone Oak Load).
There is presently a 9 inch sanitary sewer lateral on the south side of
County Road 26 (Lone Oak Road). This sewer is of sufficient size to handle
this proposed development but it is not of sufficient depth to handle a
gravity flow. There presently exists a 9 inch sanitary sewer lateral
approximately 375 feet east of this proposed development. This is of
sufficient size and depth to handle gravity flaw from this multiple
residential proposal. The method proposed by the developer entails the
installation of a private lift station to handle the flaw from this
development and direct it into the existing line on the south side of
County Road 26. It is the Staff's belief that a private lift station would nqt
be as reliable as a City functioning sewer system and that future maintenance
would be requested by the City. In order to minimize the number of sewer
lift stations within the City, it should be required that sanitary sewer
KKnob
service be provided by the existing line on the east side of Pilot
J t
Road. This would require an easement across the property
to the east side of Pilot Knob Road which is under the same ownership as
the property that is being considered for development on the west side.
Therefore, there should be no problem in obtaining the necessary easements.
STREETS
County Road 31 (Pilot Knob Road) is proposed to be upgraded during the 1980
construction year. This will entail widening of the existing road for a
proposed 52 foot improved street with concrete curb and gutter with sidewalks
and trailways. There is not anticipated to be any medians as a part of this
construction that would affect the entrances as proposed with this layout.
However, because all entrances do enter onto a County road, County highway
entrance permits will be required prior to their construction. The preliminary
internal road circulation pattern appears to be good and no internal public
street dedication will be required.
IDLE OAK HEIGHTS {

EASE,E TiS & R.O.W.
Because of the pending improvement to Pilot Knob Road,a 75 foot half right-
of-way will be required to be dedicated as a part of this plat. A 50 foot
half right-of-way will be required adjacent to County Road 26 to incorporate
future improvements. Additional easements will have to be dedicated to
provide for the existing storm sewer system that traverses this plat, the
NSP gas easement and any internal water main looping systems that will be
required. An additional 10 foot trailway easement will be red aloncz

And the custanary drainage and utility easements Jacent to property lines
will be obtained prior to final plat approval.
GRADING AND DRAINAGE
Although a detailed grading and drainage plan has not yet been submitted
for both parcels, the existing 24 inch storm sewer that traverses the south
end of parcel 1 is of adequate size and capacity to handle the proposed
run-off from this development. The natural slope of the land directs the
surface drainage to this vicinity at this time and it is anticipated that
future development will continue this directional drainage. A detailed
drainage and grading plan with proposed first floor elevation, lot corner
elevation, etc. will be required to be submitted and approved by Staff prior
to final plat approval.
I will be available at the Planning Cc mission meeting of September 11 to
further discuss the above referenced concerns.

Application Submitted
An application has been submitted for preliminary plat approval of Eagan Metro
Center Second Addition which would consist of 4 lots and contain 4 condominium
apartment buildings and a total of 256 dwelling units.
Ccnments
1. The lard is presently zoned R-4. The Easy. Street Apartments are immediately
to the west of the proposed development and Manito Townhouse Complex is directly
to the east.
2. According to ordinance 52.07, Subdivision 4A, it allows only apartment
buildings within an R-4 zoning district.
3. Lot Computation:

4.31 acres 4.49 acres 4.55 acres 4.88 acres
15.7% lot cover. 15.4% lot cover. 14.6% lot cover. 13.9% lot cover.
64 Dwlg. Units 64 Dwlg. Units 64 Dwlg. Units 64 Dwlg. Units
The proposed development consists of 256 dwelling units. The breakdown of the type
of units is as follcws: 40 1 bedroom units; 192 2 bedroom units; and 23
3 bedroom units. The total site consists of 18.36 acres. According to the density
chart for the number and type of units the developer would have, 18.7 acres of
land. However, with the density credit for underground parking, the developer is
credited for 2 acres. Therefore, the proposed development is within the denistY
requirements of Ordinance 52.
Ordinance 52.07, Subdivision 13 C, requires at least 15 parking spaces and 1 garage
space per unit. The required parking spaces for the proposed development would be
640. The developer has provided 304 garage spaces and 208 aprking spaces for a
total of 512. This is only 2 parking spaces per dwelling unit. The developer
has also provided areas where parking could be expanded for 56 additional Spaces-
According to the ordinance, the developer is still 72 parking spaces short of the
required amount. In reviewing past actions by the City, the City has only requested
the developer to provide 2 parking spaces per unit but provide additional eXmansion

parking if required. If the additional parking is not required, the entire
project would look better landscaped than parking lots which are not needed.
Staff will research actions taken on the last two apartment complexes which
have been approved.
4. The phasing plan indicated by the developer is that he would like to
begin construction on Lots 1 and 2 yet this fall and complete the entire
project next year. The developer has also indicated that each unit will be
owner occupied and that nos subsidy programs are expected to be used.
5. There will be a Hdaeowners Association for each building and also one
covering the entire project.
6. All building setback requirements are met and the plan appears to be
well designed.
If approved, the plat should be subject to the following conditions:
.1. The parking spaces shall have the dimensions of 10 feet by 20 feet.
2. The parking area shall be surfaced and poured in place concrete curbing
around the perimeter of the parking area.
3. The proposed plan only shows a 10 foot setback from the property before
the parking area begins. The expansion parking should either be relocated
or the entire project should be shifted 10 feet to the north to provide the
required 20 feet of green area.
4. The 20 foot green area should be bermed 2 to 3 feet and landscaped to
provide partial screening of the parking area.
5. The developer should provide roan for additional expansion parking.
6. The bylaws of the Homeowners Association shall be reviewed by the City
Staff prior to final plat approval.
7. The plat shall be subject to the required park dedication.
8. A $2,000 landscape bond shall be required and not released until one year
after the landscaping has been Ompleted.
9. The developer shall provide all easeennts required by the City Engineer.
ENGINEERIW ReCOMYMMTIONS

SUBJDC'T: PRELIMINARY PLAT EAGAN METRO C'FNTM ADDITION
(MEI'RAM PROPERTIES CCP'IPANY )
The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department has the following comments
to offer in regards to discussion of the above referenced plat:
UTILITIES
Sanitary sewer and water main of sufficient size and depth are available immediately
adjacent to the south property line to provide sufficient service for this proposed
development.
STREETS
Silver Bell Road is presently improved to its standard width and structure with
concrete curb and gutter. Curb cuts required for the placement of the entrances
will require the reinstallation of the concrete gutter section.
EASEMEN'TS/R.O. W.
All necessary right-of-way has been dedicated previously. A 10 foot drainage and
utility easement should be dedicated adjacent to all property lines.
DRAINAGE
Drainage from this proposed plat is intended to be directed to the small pond located
immediately west of this plat and through an internal storm sewer system which can
make use of the existing storm sewer on Silver Bell Road. A detailed grading and
drainage plan showing the location of the internal storm sewer system should be
sub Utted and approved prior to final plat approval. This small pond to the west
of this plat is proposed to have a 12 inch outlet directed down to the existing
drainage ditch on the south side of Highway 13 by the presently under construction
Silver Bell Shopping Center. This outlet should be provided prior to commencement
of the development of this plat.
I will be available to answer any additional questions at the Pldnning Commission
meeting of August 28, 1979.

MEMO TO: EAGAN CITY COUNCIL
i-
FROM: PARK DIRECTOR SCHMIDT
DATE: AUGUST 33, 1979 t
f.'
RE: PARK COMMITTEE CONCERNS REGARDING PROPOSED
ELEVATION FOR FISH LAKE
The Eagan Advisory Park Committee wishes to alert the City ~
Council to the following facts and concerns regarding the
r,
currently proposed elevation for Fish Lake.
1. Park dedication for Pilot Knob Heights PUD was
renewed by the Park Committee and approved by
the City Council in late 1970 and early 1971.
2. The park dedication consisted of a trail around
all of that part of Fish Lake which was included '
in the plat as well as some additional land for
i ,i
picnic areas and trail connections through the
development for the purpose of insuring public
access to one of Eagan's largest lakes.
3. At that time the trail locations were based on
information provided by the City Consulting Engineer
that the future elevation of the Fish Lake would
be maintained at 836 feet.
4. The 842.1 overflow outlet elevation currently
recommended by the DNR will put much of the land
dedicated for public use under water and make the
trail system around the lake unusable.
5. Providing for public access to water bodies is a
much publicized charge of the Department of Natural
Resources as well as a goal of the Eagan Park Committee.
6. The Park Committee is concerned that the loss of
public access to Fish Lake has not been given proper
consideration by the DNR in determining the allowed
elevation of Fish Lake.
7. The Committee has requested Public Works Director
Colbert to prepare a drawing showing the the extent
of park land which will be lost at the proposed elevation
and to contact the DNR regarding the loss of public
access which will occur. The drawing should be
available for review at the meeting.
i
MEMO TO: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
FROM: PARK DIRECTOR SCHMIDT
DATE: AUGUST 28, 1979
RE: REPORT FROM PARK DIRECTOR ON ZACHMAN PLAT
At the July 12, 1979 meeting of the Eagan Advisory Park
Committee, the Committee recommended that park dedication
for this plat be satisfied by land, with the NSP easement
to receive 50% credit and the additional land to be located
in such a manner as to accomodate expansion of the free
skating area in event that the grant proposal for the ex-
pansion of Rahn Park is not funded. No final action was
.taken.
J
In subsequent meetings with City staff the developer has
agreed-
To dedicate the NSP easement area to satisfy
park dedication for the first plat which con-
sists of 32.6 acres of residential land. The t
easement area totals 5.9 acres and credit at h•
50% equals 2.8 acres. Park dedication require- 7 j
ment for the first plat equals 3.3 acres. There-
fore the easement area is .5 acres short of
satisfying the park dedication requirement.
The Park Committee may recommend that cash be
placed in escrow or may ask that additional land i,
be dedicated to fulfill the requirement.
To provide a 10 foot trail connection between
lots leading to existing Rahn Park and to con-
struct an 8 foot asphalt surface at the time of
street construction. This trail should be desi-
gnated as a trailway on the plat.
Definition of appropriate park land to be dedicated with the
remainder of the 80 acres has not yet been determined.
Final action on this plat will be taken at the September 6, 1979
Park Committee meeting.

DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: AUGUST 28, 1979

REPORTED BY: DALE C. RANKLE, CITY PLANNER
*Note: The site plan submitted for Zachman Hanes, Inc. has been revised to
include some of the suggestions which were borught forth at the
July 31, 1979 public hearing.
Applications Submitted
1. The first application that has been submitted is a request to rezone 73.4
acres from A, Agricultural to PD, Planned Development.
2. The second application submitted is for preliminary plat which would consist
of one outlot proposed for LB, Limited Business which would contain 16.7 acres;
one outlot of 24.9 acres proposed for park and 32.6 acres which is proposed for
residential development. The 32.6 acres proposed for residential would consist
of 74 single family lot and 17 townhouse lots.
Ccmments
1. Presently, the land is zoned agricultural. According to the Eagan Land Use
Guide, it is suggested that this area should develop as an R-3 land use (mixed
residential) with a density of 6 to 12 units per acre. The developer is only
proposing to develop the site at a density of 3.3 dwelling units per acre.
2. The developer has changed his plan by adding approximately 4 acres to the
proposed Limited Business District. This was done because of the cmrients brought
forth at the July 31, 1979 public hearing. it was indicated that the proposed
upgrading of Cliff Road to an intermediate arterial, a residential land use along
Cliff Road would not be compatible. The developer is now proposing to buffer the
residential development with a Limited Business land use.
The developer has also decreased the &,cunt of land which would be reserved for
park use per the recommendation of the Park Director. If the Park Director is
unsuccessful at obtaining a grmut to purchase park land from Zactman Hanes, the
proposed parkland would then be replatted to confran with the existing residential
land use.

The single family lot size ranges from 9,375 square feet to 30,350 square feet.
All lots contain a minimum of 75 feet width and have a mininm depth of 125 square
feet. There are 51 lots under the minimum 12,000 square feet requirement. The
overall average lot size is 12,037 square feet. There are 62 feet with widths
less than 85 feet at the 30 foot setback line. Lots are of carWable areas to
the lots in some of the Cedar Grave districts.
Zachman Hanes, Inc.
August 22, 1979

The twinhame lots range in size fran 12,000 square feet to 25,175 square feet.
Eleven of the seventeen twinhane lots are under the 15,000 square foot requirement
and 13 of the 17 lots have less than 100 feet width at the 30 foot setback line.
The depth of all lots meet the ordinance requirement. Normally, the usable area
of a twinhane lot is the front and rear and not on the side. The developer has
indicated that the design of the twinhcm would fit on an 80 foot wide lot without
requiring any variances. -i
4. The planned development appears to be well designed and has a good traffic
circulation. There is one access proposed off Cliff Road and two off Cedar Avenue.
These are located away fiat the intersection as not to cause any traffic problems.
The streets are a curvilinear design to provide good traffic circulation.
5. This planned development is proposing smaller than normal lots than what would
be allowed from the zoning district. The concept of this PD is to allow smaller
lots with smaller homes to provide more alternative types of housing for the
moderate inccme family.
6. There
has been a question of how to prove cost savings are passed onto the f
hone buyer. One way this may be accomplished is to put a maximum square footage '
of the house size which can be put on a lot..
If approved, the plat should be subject to the following recommendations:
1. That a 75 foot half right-of-way be provided for Cliff Road and a 50 foot
half right-of-way be provided for Cedar Avenue.
2. If the park grant is not funded then the 10% park dedication be approved by
the Park Ca nLittee.
3. A Planned Development Agreement be prepared and approved by the City of Eagan
i
prior to any construction on the site.
4. The plat should be subject to the Dakota County Plat Commission's recommendations {
because it abuts two County roads.
5. A landscape plan be approved by City Staff showing the buffer area between the
limited business area and residential area. Also, buffering should be provided
along Cedar Avenue.
6. Drainage and utility plans be approved by the City Engineer.
7. That all hones meet the normal setback requirements of the zoning ordinance.
If houses are first proposed without garages, the site plan for the building permit
should indicate how and where a garage would be placed on the lot so no variance
would be needed in the future.
8. The proposed trail connection should be constructed by the developers at the
time the streets are constructed with the proposed development.

SUBJECT: REZONING AND PRELIMINARY PLAT
PETITIONER: TILSEN HOMES, INC. RALPH VAGNER
!!i
LOCATION: NW; OF THE SFh OF SECTION 29
EXISTING ZONING: A (AGRICULTURAL)'R-1 (RESIDENTIAL SINGLE DISTRICT) AND
R-4 (RESIDENTIAL MULTIPLE DISTRICT)
DATE OF PUBLIC H99UM: AUGUST 28, 1979
DATE OF REPORT: AUGUST 22, 1979
REPORTED BY: DAIS C. R[UNKLE, CITY PLANNER
*Note: The site plan has been revised to lower the density of the overall plan.
The applicant has eliminated the duplex units in the development.
Applications Submitted
1. An application has been submitted for rezoning from A, Agricultural; R-1,
Residential Single District; and, R-4, Residential ML~ltiple District to PD,
Planned Development which would consist of 15 acres of 4-plex units and 7.5
acres of single family dwellings.
2. The second application submitted is for preliminary plat approval of
Eden Addition which would consist of 40.13 acres of which 22.5 acres would be
developed. The proposed Eden Addition would consist of. 24 single family lots
and 108 quadr'indnium units. -
Comments
1. The total area of the development consists of 40.13 acres of which 33.6 acres
would be platted. The 6.53 acres which is not being platted at this time will be
purchased as rights-of-way for I-35E. This alignment was determined by MnDOT as
of June 29, 1979.
2. The present zoning of the parcel is a small strip of R-1 (Residential Single
District) north of Clearview Addition. The major portion of the parcel is zoned
R-1 (Residential Multiple District) and a small portion is zoned A (Agricultural)
south of the NSP easement. The developer has revised the site plan from the plans
which were submitted in July, 1979. These changes include:
a. Elimination of the duplex lots.
b. Elimination of one street.
c. Addition of open space for the proposed 4-plex.
The continuity and traffic circulation has remained the same from the original
lam. The developer has done an excellent job in designing the proposed develop-
ment for coq'Patibility with the exiss developments (Clearview and Woodgate)-
ment existing
The developer is still proposing single family dwelling north of Clearview;
quadriminiuIIns north of the single family dwellings and quads which would abut the
alignTent of I-35E. The proposed development plan also has continuity with the
Woodgate development by proposing quads along the existing quads of Woodgate.

707AL 40.13 132 136.1
Single Family Lots: All the single family lots exceed the requirements of ordinance
52.07. All lots exceed the 85 foot frontage requirement and contain more than
12,000 square feet. The average lot size is 13,613 square feet.
Quad Units: The overall density allowed in a townhouse district is 7.2 units per
acres. The developer is meeting this in calculating the density of the development,
the square footage for each unit is 6,050 square feet. The ordinance allows one
unit for each 6,000 square feet. The developer is within the density range of
the townhouse district.
3. Circulation The proposed development apperas to have good traffic circulation.
Walnut Lane and Beecher Drive were two stub streets which have been carried through
the proposed development. MnDO T is proposing to purchase the most westerly lot in
Clearview Addition to provide access to the existing parcel because access would not
be able to be obtained directly onto Blackhawk Road. If the plat is approved, it
is suggested that a street be constructed through this lot to Beecher Drive so an
access could be obtained to Blackhawk Road.
4. The NSP trail easement would consist of approximately 3 acres of which 1.5
acres would receive park credit. The remainder of the park dedication will be
in cash. The developer has also indicated that he will do some grading in the
NSP easement to insure that the trail will fit within the park dedication.
If approved, the plat should be subject to the following conditions:
1. In the quad portion, there will be a Homeowners Association and the bylaTas should
be submitted and reviewed by Staff prior to final plat approval.
Y2. A tot lot should be provided within the develapient to provide for the needs
of the pre-school children.
N~ol►~ 1.~ n tTra~~~>
3. The trailway leading to the park/ehall be installed by the developer.
4. The proposed plat should be reviewed by MnDOT and subject to the canments from
the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
5. The developer should be required to install the proposed connection road to
Beecher Drive through the lot MnDOiT purchased in the Clearview Addition.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
At the 8-28-79 Adviso y Planning Commission Meeting, John
Roszak raised the question of whether loo would still be
a reasonable percentage to use for park land dedication
if smaller lot sizes are allowed to be developed than our
ordinances currently require an interesting question.
Enclosed is a memo from the Eagan Tree Inspector regarding
the condition of the one Oak Tree.
A complete report on he Summer Program Activities is included
for your review.
The Eagan Valley Rangers Snowmobile Club recently built a
large metal storage box which was needed by the CAA at Rahn
Park. See picture bel w.

MEMO TO: PARK DIRECTOR SCHMIDT
FROM: TREE INSPECTOR SCHUSTER
DATE: AUGUST 14, 1979
SUBJECT: LONE OAK TREE
On August 14, 1979 I contacted Dr. David French, a forest pathologist
at the University of Minnesota, concerning the care of the Lone Oak
Tree. He said he has looked at it several times and feels its poor
appearance may be caused by several factors.
Dr. French feels that this tree, along with thousands of other oak trees
in the Twin Cities, is showing the effects of the drought we experienced
in 1976. Another major problem with the health of this tree is that it
(the tree) is subject to much salt damage. Due to its location, the tree
not only gets salt run-off from the roads in winter, but also is sprayed
with salt each time a vehicle goes by on slushy days in the spring.
Dr. French suggested several things we could try to enhance the health
and appearance of the tree. His first suggestion was that we fertilize
the tree in the spring of next year. The fertilizer should be a balanced
10-10-10 fertilizer and should be applied into the soil at a depth of 18
inches. The rate of application should be 2 pounds per inch of tree
diameter at ground level. This type of application will not only fertilize
the tree but will also aerate the soil.
Dr. French also suggested flushing the tree in the spring to wash off any
salt that may remain from the previous winter. Since Highways 49 and SS
as well as Lone Oak Road are salted so much, a large amount of salt builds
up in the soil near this tree and on its branches. Washing off the tree
and flushing the soil would help get rid of much of this salt.
When asked about pruning, Dr. French said it would not improve the health
of the tree but would improve the appearance of it. The pruning should
be done in the fall or winter but definitely not in the spring when open
wounds on oak trees attract insects carrying Oak Wilt fungus.
Dr. French said this tree should be relatively safe from Oak Wilt because
of its isolated location. If we felt it necessary Dr. French said we
could send a branch sample from the tree to the University for testing for
Oak Wilt. But, neither Dr. French or myself feel that Oak Wilt is causing
any problem with the Lone Oak Tree.
i
I will continue to observe the tree and keep you informed of its condition.

MEMO TO: PARK COMMITTEE
FROM:-_------'--RECREATION-PROGRAMMER PETERSON
DATE: SEPTEMBER 6, 1979
RE: SUMMER PROGRAMS
TINY TOTS
Tiny Tot sessions were offered at Northview School and at
the Rahn Park Building. Eighty children ages 3, 4 and 5;
the maximum number we could register; took part in the pro-
gram. All sessions were filled by noon of the second day
of registration. Unlike a year ago, children came from
Eagan only. The majority of children in the Rahn program
line in Cedar Grove; Wilderness Run, Timbershore and Evergreen
Park were the residence areas of the majority of the child-
ren in the Northview sessions.
Income from the $3.50 registration fee was $279.00
Materials purchased specifically for Tiny Tots cost $65.00
Staff salaries, planned for in the Temporary employees
budget were: $947.75
Parent comments were positive, they appreciate this opportunity
for their children's first social activity. Staff from the
Park. Office was able to observe growth in the children;
initial shyness turned to confidence and meaningful interaction
with the leaders and the children.
The staff we located to run the program were creative,
sensitive to the needs of children and an excellent group
with whom to work.
TUMBLING AND DANCE
Ninety-eight children, five of whom were boys, registered for
Tumbling and Dance this year. This represents 30 fewer child-
ren at Northview and two less at Rahn than in 1978. Another
interesting factor is that 80% of the children registered were
new to the program.
Planning for the recital was more difficult than in the past.
Numbers of children with more than the allowed absences made
costume and-program preparations difficult. Changes must be
made in securing a commitment from parents if this offering is
to be continued.
Income from the $3.00 registration fee $294.00
Expenses for records and costumes $172.00
Salaries, planned for in Temporary employees budget $ 1237.00

Memo-Summer Programs
Page 2
September 6, 1979
The classes were run with one fewer aide than in the past.
Applicants were few in number and several refused our offer
due to the limited hours and travel costs. Thought should
be given to pairing this offering with some morning pro-
gramming to be able to attract and hire quality people.
SUMMER IN THE PARK
Registrations at the playground sites were equal to 1978.
Daily attendance was significantly up at Evergreen, and
Woodhaven, stable at Lexington - Bur Oaks and Rahn, down
at Cedar.
No complaint calls were received by the Park Office re-
garding the absence of Summer In The Park at Pilot Knob.
Sufficient quality applicants were not available to cover
that site at the last minute when the Theatre Experience
had to be cancelled. A limited number of Highview children
attended the playground at Lexington.
Field trips went smoothly, on a whole. Attendance was
excellent.
1. Apple Rollerway - 219 children
2. Diamond T - 188 children
3. Peppermint Tent - 182 children
4. All Park Event - 175 children
Although our permission slip is all inclusive and designed
to be taken care of the first week of activities, the field
trips, with the exception of the Peppermint Tent, were flexible
enough to allow for last minute changes. Notices for bus
times were prepared at the Park Office and sent home with the
children on Monday of the week of a field trip.
Playground staff was excellent this year. They were creative,
energetic, sensitive to the children. The leaders took hold
of a bicycle maintenance and safety program we introduced them
to very efficiently; ran excellent game, craft and special r
event activities.
Costs for craft materials $550.00
Salaries, planned for in Temporary employees budget $4124.00
Total costs were less than in 1978 due to one less site, craft g
supplies were more costly due to inflation, salaries were as
anticipated.
Plans for the future include: Acquiring a mobile play wagon i
that could visit 4 sites in small neighborhoods in one week eg.,
South Oaks, Highview, Country Home Heights, River Hills, etc.
As new development occurs we want to be ready to provide pro-
gramming in the new parks!

TENNIS
Two hundred and seventeen people took tennis lessons offered j
this spring and summer. Spring: 8 of 10 classes offered were
held, Summer Session I: 19 of 25 classes held; Summer Session
II: 11 of 25 classes offered were held.
Woodhaven is the most popular lesson site, all classes offered
there were held. Oak Chase is the weakest site, closely fol-
lowed by Pilot Knob and Evergreen.
Unlike the past, very few people from neighboring communities
took lessons from us.
Fees collected: $1734
Instructor cost: $1511
Net $95
It is difficult to balance the number of offerings to attract
capable instructors: They are told during their interview that
not all classes will fill, we are fortunate to find excellent
people despite this major problem.
GOLF LESSONS
Twenty nine Eagan residents took golf lessons. The lesson
format was the same as last year: 3 sessions on the playfield
at Northview School, 2 at George's Driving Range and one on
the practice green at Parkview.
Our instructor was excellent, four of the six classes offered
were filled. We have had requests for evening lessons. We
will add them if a facility is available.
Income from Class fees: $239.00
Instructor salary $188.50
Balls $22.00
TEEN CENTER
The Rahn Park Building was open from 7:00 - 10:00 Monday through
Thursday from June 18 to August 16. Attendance was 25 - 40 teen-
agers each evening, all live in Cedar Grove.
We need to think in terms of more recreational equipment to pur-
chase, lights outside the building are still in need of repair'.
This fall we will open the Teen Center from 6:00 - 9:00 PM on
Tuesdays and Thursdays, beginning September 4. Attendance will
be monitored to determine the length of this offering.
Staff cost for the summer $840
Covered by Rahn Park Building Activities budget.
