Application submitted
An application has been submitted for preliminary plat (Wedgewood lst Addition) which
consists of 75.17 acres and contains 72 single family lots and 5 cutlots. This was
previously the Wilderness Park 4th Addition plat.
Comments
1. The proposed development is part of the Lexington South Planned Development. The
land use proposed for this development is R-2 (Mixed Residential) with a density of
3 to 6 units per acre.
2. The proposed development will have a density of the new developable land of 2.6
units per acre. Ordinance 52 allows 3.6 units per acrre.
3. All lots exceed the 85 foot minimum width requirement and the 12,000 square foot
requirement for a single family lot.
4. Within the proposed subdivision there are five (5) cutlots. Outlots A, B, E and
F are proposed park dedications according to the Planned Development. Outlot C may
also be dedicated as park. This cutlot became larger than the original park dedication
because of the realignment of Wilderness Run Road. Outlot D is the only outlot proposed
for future development. Mien this outlot develops, its proposed use would be R-2 (Mixed
Residential) with a density of 3 to 6 units per acre.
5. The proposed plat appears to be well designed. The plat has a curvilinear design
and provides continuity by providing accesses to adjacent properties. I
If approved, the plat should be subject to the following conditions:
1. A detailed grading and drainage plan be approved by the City Engineer.
2. The plat be subject to the comments of the Dakota County Plat Commission because
Lexington Avenue has now been approved as a County road.
3. All easements be approved by the City Engineer.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PLANNING CCMMISSIM
_ & DALE C. RUNUE, CITY PLANNER
FROM: THCMS A. COLBERr-, DITMMR CF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: SEPTEMBER 21, 1979
SUBJECT: PRELL (NARY PLAT - %TMEWOOD 1ST ADDITION (DUNN & CURRY)
i;.
The Public Works Department has the following cammnts to make in retards to
the above referenced plat:
t
UTILITIES
Water main and sanitary sewer of sufficient size and depth to service this
proposed plat is presently under contract along Wilderness Run Road.
STREETS
There presently does not exist any street along Lexington Avenue or
Wilderness Run Read rights-of-way. No contract has been awarded for any
street construction as of this date. Improved street access will have to i
be provided prior to final plat approval either by the developer or under
the City contract. The Engineering Department has no objections with the
internal design layout of the street system. Staff has recamended and the
developer has responded in providing a 60 foot access for the future develop-
ment of the property to the south of this proposed plat. Wilderness Run
Road and Lexington Avenue will be major collector streets and as such all
lot accesses have been provided to be obtained through the interior street
system.
GRADING AND DRAIl GE
The drainage from Block 1 and 2 is proposed to be directed into the pond
located immediately southeast of this plat. This pond is part of the City's
overall master storm water ponding system but does not have the controlled
outlet from it. Additional review will have to be performed to insure
adequate capacity to handle Blocks 1 and 2. Blocks 3, 4, 5 and 6 plan to
split their drainage into the pond located in the middle of this plat and
also to the pond located in the extreme southwest corner of this proposed
plat. 'T'hese will also have to be reviewed further to insure adequate
capacity and outlet control as part of our overall master storm water plan.
EASEMENTS AND R.O.W.
The proposed dedication for right-of-way for Wilderness Run Road, Lexington
Avenue and all interior streets are acceptable as shown. The preliminary
plat has shown the standard drainage and-utility easements around the
perimeter of each individual lot. However, additional easements will have
to be obtained centered over the lot lines that contain the proposed storm
sewer outlet. Also, additional drainage easements will have to be dedicated
around the proposed ponds to handle the storm water outlet.

SiJB.n=: PRELDnNARY PLAT - MEADS ADDITION (WM. D. MEADE)
The Public Works Department of the City of Eagan has the following comments
to make in regards to consideration of the above referenced plat:
UTILITIES
Sanitary sewer and water main of sufficient size and depth to service this
proposed plat is being provided under present contract for the Vienna Woods
Addition which abuts this plat iimiediately to the west.
STRE'ET'S
Access to this proposed plat is intended to be obtained off Pin Oak Drive
which will be constructed as a part of the Vienna Woods plat. An access
off Nichols Road should not be considered due to the difficultly with the
grade differential and the desire to limit the number of accesses directly s
on to Nichols Road. Zhe proposed cul-de-sac is the only feasible way to
develop this remaining unplatted parcel of property.
GPMING AND DRAINAlE
Although this parcel contains an existing pond to handle its present on-site
drainage, this pond will have to be greatly reduced and/or eliminated through
the develapnent of this proposed plat. Storm sewer of sufficient depth has
been provided with the Vienna Woods plat to handle the drainage of this plat
through positive storm sewer system.
EASEMENTS AND R.O.W.
Sufficient right-of-way should be dedicated to provide for a 40 foot half right-
of-way along Nichols Road and also customary camion lot line drainage and utility
easements will have to be dedicated on the final plat. If it is determined that
the parcel inrediately scuth of this proposed plat is to receive its sanitary
sewer and water service fran the utilities installed with this plat, additional
easements may have to be dedicated to provide for this utility extensicn.

From: Recreation Programmer Peterson
Re: Status of after school Recreation for Elementary School Children
Date: September 14, 1979
Independent School District 197, Community Services Department
A Program that is an extension of Bob Zevnick's pure sports program is
being implemented by Helen Waldoch of Community Services.
(5)
Where: Each elementary
school Staff: 1 Physical Education teacher, 1 Art teacher, 1 Aide (College student)
Cost: $15.00 for 10 week session
Schedule: Two days a week per site for 2 hours,right after school.
Salary: $6.75/hr. for teachers, $3.50/hr. for aides
Registration: minimum/maximum number of children is 20
Transportation: Parents provide own transportation home
Activities: Structured: will include some special events, at least one
one hoer of art per week and 1 hour of P.E. activities twice
a week.
I
Independent School District 191
The three Community School Co-ordinators (Community Services Staff) are
about to do the following:
1. Meet with parent groups from each elementary school to determine
interest in an after school elementary program.
2. Plan to implement something, not sure what exactly, by the first
week of November that would entail two activity nights per school
per week.
3. Among the unanswered questions are:
a. Numbers of children to try to accomodate.
b. Numbers of staff, salary needed.
c. Amount to charge children or offer free.
Of major importance possibly is the result to a questionnaire answered
by elementary teachers last spring. The response was very poor in terms of
interest in supervising after school programs.
Independent School District 199 Inver Grove Heights
Beginning the week of October 1 at three locations the Inver Grove
Community Services Department will offer after school activities for elemen-
tary school children.
Fee: $3.00 j
Activities: Arts & crafts, games, special events, music $ a party.
Time frame: 2:30-3:45 or 2:50-4:15, depending on dismissal time
Pre-registration necessary
Independent School District 196
Currently have no offerings. In the past Community Services ran a
joint program with the City of Apple Valley at one elementary school that
I am aware of. i
I have placed this item on the September 20 Advisory Council Agenda.
Three years ago the council discussed this same item, however with virtually
a new advisory council since then I wish to re-open the issue. This is
primarily based on my feeling that the after school programs belong as an
I
extension of Community Services, the reasons being: More staff, freer
access to facilities, easier access to K-12 staff and a highly programmed
registration system.
-2-
City of Apple Valley
When I spoke to Margie Walz her plans for fall programs were not complete.
She was unsure of the timing of any elementary programs she might try; she
will do some.
When Margie worked for the City of South St. Paul she offered very
specific classes, primarily for children in grades 1, 2 $ 3. She mentioned
a cooking class, knitting,crochet etc. Class size was limited to 10 children,
class fees paid for instructors and material costs. She frequently had senior
citizens for instructors. She would never consider an open gym type of
activity, only specific classes.
City of Rosemount
In the past the City of Rosemount Park $ Rec. Dept. has offered gymnastics
to 5-10 year olds at Rosemount Middle School on Tues. $ Thurs. in the evening
and are doing so again. Randy Oppelt has no plans to implement an after
school program in the elementary schools.
City of Eagan
With school districts191 and 197 planning to implement an elementary
after school program, it leaves the two 196 elementary schools without an
offering of this nature.
The construction problems make neither school available until some time
in November, or perhaps even later.
I would prefer to see Community Services in 196 tackle the program as
the other two school districts are doing. I am a bit concerned that if
Margie Walz steps in in Apple Valley, the school district will ignore the
need, despite their superior level of staffing.

_ Dear Commissioner Kennedy:
The members of the Eagan Park Trails Committee were pleased
to read of the proposed development by the Commissioners of
a County Bike Trail Policy. We understand this matter will
be discussed at your September 25th meeting and we would like
to share some ideas for your consideration.
1. Development of bike trails along county roads which are
currently being improved or scheduled such as the already
proposed county bike trails along County Road 31 and
County Road 32.
2. Development of bike trails along county roads as they are
maintained. In many cases this would mean the laying of
an asphalt strip to cover the shoulder of the road for
use as a bike trail.
3. Development of bike trails along county roads other than
those listed as regional bikeways, especially those roads
which lead to schools or concentrated areas of employment.
14e have had several inquiries from employees at Blue Cross
and Univac about development of bike trails on County Road
26 and County Road 28 for transportation to and from work.
4. Development of bike trails on county roads where increasingly
heavy traffic is making those routes unsafe for bikes. x
}
With the current emphasis on energy conservation, it seems
probable that there will be an increasing use of bikes for
transportation and recreation. on the local level, we will
continue to work to develop a city bikeway system on major
and minor collector streets which will give access both to s
and from the county trail system.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

DREXEL HEIGHTS ADDITION. Mr. Colbert also reported on the repair work being
done in Drexel Heights Addition and indicated that the breaks in the water and sewer
mains are less severe than had been expected. He also reported that it will be
necessary to cut into the street in front of the Henry Braun and Harvey Braun property
and indicated that Henry Braun requested three driveway accessees through an outlot
in Drexel Heights owned by the City. No action was taken by the City Council and it
was referred to the Park Committee for recommendation and approval. ,
MEMO TO: EAGAN PARK Ca'14ITTEE AMID
BARB Sa-PUDT, DIRECTOR OF PARK & RECREATION
FROM: THOMAS A. ODIBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC MRKS
DATE: OC'T'OBER 11, 1979
SUBJECT: OUTLOT A DRE)M HEIGHTS ADDITION
When the plat of Drexel Heights Addition was processed, a residual piece of
property located between Drexel Court street right-of-way and the Henry Braun
property was transferred to the City of Eagan fee ownership for park purposes.
This residual property is referenced as Outlot A on the Drexel Heights Addition.
The topography of this outlot is a side hill situation with slope of approximately
3:1. Our city attorney, Paul Hauge, has assured we that this Outlot A is in the
fee ownership of the Citv Park Department.
Recently, we encountered some recruired sewer correction work through the Drexel
Heights plat and subsequently through the sewer lateral that runs through
Henry Braun's property. In our negotiation process with Tyr. Braun to obtain
entry rights and temporary easements for this corrective work, he has requested
of the City to allow him up to three (3) driveway accesses across Outlot A to
Drexel Court fran his east property line. Mr. Braun hopes to eventually sub-
divide and develop the east 130- feet of his parcel in such a way as to provide
three lots of 104 foot frontage along Drexel Court.
After reviewing the site with Barb Schmidt, it was mutually determined that the
terrain of Outlot A is. such that any type of active park use is not at all possible.
It was originally intended to provide fora trailway connection from Pilot Knob
Road to the past proposed trail system around Fish Lake. Since the original
Drexel Heights plat was processed, Wescott Road was subsequently improved and a
trail connection is provided from Wescott Road to the south end of Drexel Court
through Outlot B. Therefore, the original purpose of Outlot A for a trail connection
is no longer needed..
Engineering Department is requesting that the Park Committee and ultimately the
City Council look favorably upon allowing up to three (3) driveway accesses fram
Drexel Court across Outlot A to serve the east line of Henry Braun's property.
If we can get this assurance from the Park Committee and the City Council,
Mr. Braun will grant us the temmorary easement rights to enter his property
and do the necessary sanitary sewer corrective work. This work is necessary as
the pipe is in a fractured Condition and a state of collapse is very likely in
the near future if we cannot get in to repair it at the present time. I regret
not being able to attend the Park CcmBmittee Meeting in person to describe the
situation but I hope that this brief report gives you a background and an
explanation of what we are requesting. I have reviewed this item with Barb
Schmidt and hopefully she will be able to answer anv of the questions you may,
have. I am enclosing a copy of the area for your review.
