ADJOURNMENT November 1980 MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARK COMMITTEE r FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION RE: NOVEMBER 6, 1980 ADVISORY PARK COMMITTEE AGENDA The first item on the agenda for the Advisory Committee following the approval of the minutes of September 4, and October 2 are three development proposals: Overhill Properties Inc. is seeking preliminary plat approval for approximately 33 acres of land located in the southeast one quarter of section 25. (see attachment) The planning proposal indicates there will be approximately 1.75 acres of park land to be added to existing South Oaks Park. A cash donation is proposed for the remainder, based on the park rate at the time of final plat approval. The remaining two items under development consist of a review of the revision to the Morton Plan Development which is being changed to Eagan 40 Limited Partnership. Its request is to change the land use within the plan development. (see attachment) The third concerns the Hillcrest Development for the first phase of development to the community shopping center located in southeast one quarter of section 30. Staff will review for the Advisory Committee these three development proposals. Under Old Business, staff will review the 1980-81 winter program for action by the Advisory Committee. There are three items included under New Business: the 1981 tree reforestation budget which must be submitted to the State Shade Tree Program by November 15. There is also a discussion item con- cerning the committee's objectives for 1981, and a review of potential LAWCON grant applications for the next fiscal year. Under Other Business and communications by staff, staff will up- date the Advisory Committee in regards to the progress being made on the Evergreen Park sign, progress being made on the adult soft- ball program for 1981 and the progress being made on the trails plan, being worked on by the planning department staff. This plan is nearing a point which may require the committee to meet at a special session for review. CITY OF EAGAN SUBJECT: REZONING AND PRELIMINARY PLAT - OVERHILL FARM ADDITION APPLICANT: OVERHILL PROPERTIES, INC., DAVID DEHLER LOCATION: SE-41 OF SECTION 25 EXISTING ZONING: A (Agricultural) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING : OCTOBER 28, 1980 DATE OF REPORT: OCTOBER 221 1980 REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER APPLICATION SUBMITTED The first application submitted is a request to rezone approximately 33 acres from agricultural to R-1 (Residential Single District) and R-2 (Residential Double Dis- trict). The second application submitted is a request for preliminary plat approval for Overhill Farm Addition, which consists of approximately 33 acres and will con- tain 42 single family lots and 14 duplex lots, 28 units. COMMENTS The applicant is proposing to subdivide the property because sewer and water and streets have been provided to his property. The proposed development will consist of 56 lots. The applicant is proposing to plat duplex lots where his property abuts Cliff Road and Dodd Road. The remainder of the plat would be single family lots. Lots 1-7, Block 1 and Lots 1-7, Block 4, would be duplex lots. The proposed plat appears to be well designed. All lots meet the minimum lot require- ments. The plat continuity has also been provided. The applicant has extended Twiggy Street from the South Oaks Plat and is also proposing to dedicate park land in conjunction with the South Oaks Park. 75-foot half right-of-way shall be required on Cliff Road. According to the park and ponding formula, 70% of the 10% park dedication has to be land prior to receiving credit for any of the water. The proposed plat only has 65% of the park as land. Therefore, only 1.75 acres of park land will receive credit. The remainder, or 1.55 acres, shall be made as a cash contribution according to the current park rate at the time final plat is approved. If approved, the plat should be subject to the following conditions: 1. Plat shall be subject to Dakota County Plat Commission's review and comments because the plat abuts Cliff Road. 2. 75-foot half right-of-way shall be dedicated for Cliff Road. CITY OF EAGAN PRELIMINARY PLAT AND REZONING - OVERHILL FARM ADDITION OCTOBER 23, 1980 PAGE TWO ENGINEERING RECOTMNDATIONS 1. Vacation of the old Dodd Road alignment must be completed prior to final plat approval. 2. Excess triangular boulevard right-of-way adjacent to the northwest corner of this plat must be incorporated in the final plat of the Overhill Farm Addition. 3. All required grading must be completed to insure maximum slopes of 2:1 outside of the public right-of-way. 4. Trunk sanitary sewer must be ordered for construction through this plat prior to final plat approval. 5. Storm sewer outlet for Pond LP-28 to Hay Lake (LP-31) must be ordered for con- struction prior to final plat approval. 6. Sufficient drainage and utility easements must be provided for to propagate the existing drainage adjacent to Cliff Road and for the previously referenced sanitary sewer and storm sewer extensions. 7. An effective erosion control plan must be submitted prior to final plat approval. TO: ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER FROM: THOMAS A. COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS DATE: OCTOBER 23, 1980 RE: PRELIMINARY PLAT - OVERHILL FARM ADDITION The Public Works Department has the following comments to offer in regards to con- sideration of the above-proposed preliminary plat: UTILITIES Sanitary sewer of sufficient size and capacity is available at the intersection of the future extension of Wilderness Run Road with the recently upgraded Dodd Road. This is approximately 500 feet north of the location of this proposed plat. It will require the extension of this trunk sanitary sewer across an easement that is presently being acquired from the property immediately to the north and adjacent to the Overhill Farm Addition plat. This trunk sewer will then be constructed through the northeast corner of this plat to provide future service for the South Oaks Addition, which is located to the east and immediately adjacent to this proposed plat. Sub- sequently, this sanitary sewer extension will have to be provided for before this plat can be finaled, as its installation is necessary to provide the sewer service for this proposed plat. Water main facilities of sufficient size is readily available along the frontage ad- jacent to Dodd Road. Internal water main lateral distribution will be handled as a part of this plat's development, which will provide a future extension to the South Oaks Addition. STREETS Access to this proposed plat will be provided by way of the recently upgraded Dodd Road and providing for a connection to the South Oaks Addition. The internal resi- dential street distribution meets with staff approval and does not have.any proposed grades that exceed 8%. GRADING AND DRAINAGE The overall topography of this proposed plat is situated on a small hill which pro- vides for drainage in all four directions. The majority of the drainage will be handled by internal storm sewer systems which will be directed into Hay Lake immedi- ately to the north of this plat, which presently does have an outlet to control the water elevation. Approximately one-third of the southerly portion of this proposed plat will drain towards Dodd Road or towards the existing marshy, drainage ditch parallel to and adjacent to the northside of Cliff Road. This drainage will empty into the, two ponds located within the South Oaks Addition, which ultimately drains into the pond located on the southside of Dodd Road immediately south of the South Oaks Addition (LP-28). This pond (LP-28) presently does not have an outlet and is of such an elevation that is creating ponding and flooding problems to adjacent properties. It is anticipated that this pond will require a storm sewer outlet which will then drain to Hay Lake through the Overhill Farm plat. Because of the present high water problems associated with the two ponds in South Oaks and Pond LP-28, it is recommended that the final plat for Overhill Farm Addition not be approved until storm sewer outlet for Pond LP-28 has been ordered in by Council action. CITY OF EAGAN PRELIMINARY PLAT - OVERHILL FARM ADDITION OCTOBER 23, 1980 PAGE TWO Some steep grades will be created in the northeast corner of this plat due to the fill required in this vicinity. It is recommended that no slope greater than 2:1 be created outside of this public right-of-way. In addition, the existing previously referenced drainage area adjacent to Cliff Road along the south portions of this proposed plat must be propagated during all future lot developments. Due to the fact that it presently transgresses across these proposed newly created lots, it is recommended that it be redefined and reconstructed adjacent to Cliff Road to eliminate any potential blockage, disturbance, etc. to the development of any in- dividual sites along the southerly allowance of this plat, or adequate drainage easements be granted to protect this drainage way. EASEMENTS AND RIGHTS-OF-WAY Sufficient right-of-way has been dedicated for the recently constructed Dodd Road adjacent to the west edge of this plat. In the northwest corner of this proposed plat, the alignment of Dodd Road was realigned slightly to the west. This has created a triangular parcel of excess boulevard right-of-way in the extreme north- east of this plat. It is recommended that this triangular-shaped parcel of excess City boulevard right-of-way be incorporated into the final plat of the Overhill Farm Addition. Correspondingly, it is recommended that the old alignment of Dodd Road in the northwest corner of this plat be vacated prior to final plat approval. Additional right-of-way will have to be dedicated to provide for a 75-foot half right-of-way adjacent to County Road 32 (Cliff Road). In addition, a specific drainage easement will have to be dedicated adjacent to Cliff Road along the southerly portion of this plat to provide for continuation and preservation of the existing drainage swale. There will also have to be suffi- cient utility easements dedicated to provide for the extension of proposed future trunk sanitary sewer to the South Oaks Addition. Also, we will have to insure that adequate drainage and utility easements are provided for the anticipated storm sewer outlet from Pond LP-28 to Hay Lake (LP-31). I will be available to answer additional questions regarding this proposed plat at the Planning Commission Meeting of October 28, 1980. Respectfully submitted, homas A. Colbert, P.E.

RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER APPLICATION SUBMITTED An application has been submitted requesting a change of land use within the existing Morton Planned Development. COMMENTS On September 10, 1980, the Eagan 40 Planned Development was reviewed at the Joint Meeting between Planning Commission and City Council. The Advisory Planning Commission accepted the review on the condition that the applicant make formal application to re- vise the land use within 90 days from the annual review. The applicant at this time is proposing to meet this requirement. The original planned development shows planned uses as follows: Commercial 12 acres Residential (R-1 - R-4) 14 acres Open Space 10 acres Rights-of-Way 4 acres TOTAL 40 acres' The applicant is requesting to revise the planned development by first changing the name of the Morton Planned Development to Eagan 40 Ltd. Planned Development. The second request is to change the land use within the Eagan 40 Planned Development to as follows PARCEL ACREAGE LAND USE DWELLING UNITS A 2.2 R-3 16 B 19.2 R-4 230 C 13.0 R-3 92 Rights-of-Way 5.2 0 0 39.6 37~ The revised planned development would eliminate the strip commercial which was being created along County Road 30. The staff feels that the revised planned development is a more practical and realistic approach to land development within the City. CITY OF EAGAN REVISION TO THE MORTON PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OCTOBER 28, 1980 PAGE TWO If approved, the plat should be subject to the following conditions: 1. A revision to or a new planned development agreement shall be drafted for this planned development. 2. All ordinance requirements shall be met when development of the property begins. 3. The planned development shall be subject to the Dakota County Plat Commission's review and comments because the proposed change abuts County Road 30. d ~c au:lrio ~1 ~ ~ ~ r ' / DVS \ ~ ~~~~'rfnM~ . _ - ~ !moo) / S T_• oh ~ / s s ROW ro m4rcm irw s C J jit►~~ o olwCX:.U~e'.~!A~= frr?'

CITY OF EAGAN i SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT AND DETAILED SITE PLAN APPROVAL - MARI ACRES 2ND ADDITION APPLICANT: HILLCREST D O NT CORPORATION ERNIE CHRISTIANSEN LOCATION: SW4 OF SECTION 30, NORTH OF CLIFF ROAD & WEST OF CEDAR AVENUE EXISTING ZONING: CSC (COMMUNITY SHOPPING CENTER DISTRICT) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING : OCTOBER 28, 1980 DATE OF REPORT: OCTOBER 22, 1980 REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER APPLICATION SUBMITTED An application has been submitted for preliminary plat approval, Mari Acres, 2nd Addition, which consists of approximately 30 acres and contains eight lots and one outlot. The second application submitted is a request for detailed site plan approval for the first phase of the Community Shopping Center District. BACKGROUND I As you may recall back in 1979 and the first part of 1980, Hillcrest Development Corporation submitted an application for preliminary plat, Mari Acres, which con- sisted of one lot which was to be sold to McDonald's Corporation, and the remain- der of the property was platted into outlots. The City of Eagan was dedicated an outlot which consisted of a ponding area for Cedar Avenue. The Advisory Planning Commission recommended denial of the preliminary plat on the basis that there was not an overall site plan for the commerical area and that the first phase of de- velopment did not contain a minimum of 20,000 square feet for the first phase con- struction. The Eagan City Council approved the preliminary plat with the understanding that an overall development plan will be submitted and the first phase of development would consist of 20,000 square feet. At the present time, Hillcrest Development Corporation has received a grading per- mit and is preparing the site for development. Hillcrest Development Corporation has also submitted an overall plan for the entire community shopping center district and is also proposing that the first phase of construction would consist of a two- story office building which would contain 20,600, which is in excess of the 20,000 square foot minimum requirement. The overall site plan has been submitted for your review. Along with the overall site plan, Hillcrest Development Corporation is also proposing I' to plat additional area within the Mari Acres and receive detailed site plan approval for the first phase of construction. CITY OF EAGAN PRELIMINARY PLAT - HILLCREST DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OCTOBER 22, 1980 PAGE TWO SITE PLAN REVIEW i 1. The preliminary plat consists of approximately 30 acres and will contain eight lots and one outlot. The preliminary plat is based on the overall development of the 30 acres. Staff is requesting that the preliminary plat be allowed to be approved for three years, and when each phase of the shopping center is completed, that the plat be recorded with the undeveloped portion being platted as outlots. Therefore, the preliminary plat would stand for three years. 2. At the present time the City staff did not have any problems with the pre- liminary plat. 3. The overall site plan has been submitted as requested by the City staff. The site plan indicates: a. 3 fast-food establishments, of which McDonald's is one, b. 2 office buildings, c. 2 satellite buildings, d. 1, 110,000 square foot shopping center, e. one financial center The buildings which have been proposed cover approximately 12% of the site, which is under the maximum requirements of Ordinance #52. The overall site plan has been included for your review and comment. FIRST PHASE BUILDING 1. Hillcrest Development Corporation is proposing a two-story office building which would contain 20,600 square feet to be constructed as the first phase of the Community Shopping Center District. 2. The proposed building will cover 11% of the lot. 3. According to Ordinance #52, 104 parking spaces will be required for the site. The developer has proposed 114 spaces. The original plan was proposing Erin Lane as a private street. At the staff meeting, it was brought forth that it should be a public street, therefore, the developer would have to either re- design the parking area to provide for a 20-foot green area along the pro- posed public street, or a variance would have to be granted to encroach on the side lot line. 4. The proposed building meets all setback requirements and other ordinance re- quirements. 5. Proposed landscaping plan meets City staff approval. If approved, the plat and site plan should be subject to the following conditions: a. the preliminary plat shall be approved for three years with each phase of the final plat being recorded as constructed and the re- mainder of the final plat, which has not been constructed shall be recorded as outlots. CITY OF EAGAN PRELIMINARY PLAT - MARI ACRES 2ND ADDITION OCTOBER 22, 1980 PAGE THREE b. the 20,600 square foot office building shall be the first phase of construction prior to the establishment of any fast-food facilities. c. an overall architectural design shall be approved by the City of Eagan. d. the $2,000 landscape bond shall be submitted and not re- leased un-il one year after the landscaping has been com- pleted. e. the plat shall be subject to Minnesota Department of Trans- portation and the Dakota County Plat Commission review be- cause the proposed plat abuts State and County roads. f. either a 15-foot variance be granted or the parking lot layout must be revised to provide for the 20-foot setback. g. the proposed trail, which is shown on the overall plan going around the drainage pond, shall be constructed with the first phase of development within this area. h. the circular drive through the access shall be redesigned to provide for better traffic circulation. i. the City shall approve each phase of development prior to issuance of any building permit. j. the parking lot shall be asphalt, and concrete curbing shall be provided around the perimeter of the parking area. TO: ADVISORY PLANNING CO WISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER FROM: THOMAS A. COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR DATE: OCTOBER 23, 1980 RE: PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL - MARI ACRES 2ND ADDITION Previously, this 30-acre parcel of land was platted under Mari Acres lst Addition, which provided for the establishment of Lot 1, Block 1 with the remainder being platted as 3 outlots. The previous report indicated that utilities and streets were being provided for by the in-place Nicols Avenue and the existing sewer and water located near the intersection of Nicols and Cliff Road. All necessary ease- ments and rights-of-way were dedicated with the original platting of Mari Acres. The 2nd Addition further subdivides the previous outlots into specifically designa- ted lots and blocks with proposed public right-of-way dedication for Erin Drive to provide the circular traffic movement on the internal plat. The 2nd Addition also provides for the development of the first phase of construction for this overall plat (20,600 square foot office building). Therefore, the comments on this report will deal with this first phase office complex development in addition to any comments relating to the 2nd Addition. UTILITIES Sanitary sewer of sufficient size and depth to handle the overall development of Mari Acres 2nd Addition is readily available in the northwest corner of the inter- section of Cliff Road and Nicols Road. This sanitary sewer will be extended from this intersection to the northwest corner of this overall plat in a time sequence consistent with the phase development. Water main of sufficient size is readily available along the westside of Nicols Road to provide service to this overall plat. Internal laterals will have to be constructed in a time sequence consistent with the phase development. Overall trunk storm sewer has been provided for during past utility projects (18t) and by the dedication and construction of the internal pond under the ownership of the City of Eagan (Outlot C - Mari Acres). Internal storm sewer catch basins and laterals will have to be constructed as each respective phase is developed. This internal storm sewer will flow into the internal pond pre- viously dedicated to the City. STREETS Access to the overall plat is provided by the present in-place Nicols Road. The 2nd Addition plat provides for 3 lots to be created in the southerly portion of this plat which was formerly referred to as Outlot A of Mari Acres. In order to meet the City's requirement that each lot have a minimum of 60-foot frontage on a publicly- dedicated right-of-way, they are proposing to dedicate a southerly extension of Erin Drive referred to as Erin Lane to provide this access. This will be a fully dedicated 60-foot right-of-way for public maintenance and jurisdiction. As such, the appropriate setbacks from public right-of-way will have to be met for the proposed first phase office building complex on Lot 3 of the 2nd Addition. In addition, a 36-foot wide 9 ton street will have to be constructed along Erin Drive from Nicols Road to the westerly edge of this plat in addition to the construction of a 32-foot street for Erin Lane to the south as a part of this first phase development. CITY OF EAGAN PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL - MA.RI ACRES 2ND ADDITION OCTOBER 23, 1980 PAGE TWO GRADING AND DRAINAGE The grading plan submitted dated 10-20-80 is acceptable to the Engineering Depart- ment. It provides for internal storm sewer laterals and catch basins to handle the drainage, which will then be directed into the internal city pond (Outlot C - Mari Acres). EASEMENTS AND RIGHTS-OF-WAY Sufficient right-of-way is being dedicated for Erin Drive and Erin Lane as a part of the proposed 2nd Addition. Other than the customary 10-foot drainage and utili- ty easements adjacent to the perimeter of the respective lots, no additional ease- ments or rights-of-way are anticipated to be required with the 2nd Addition as it relates to the first phase development. OTHER CONHENTS Because the development of Mari Acres and its subsequent Additions, it has been determined that an internal pedestrian pathway/sidewalk will be required to handle the anticipated non-motorized traffic. This has been reviewed in conjunction with the residential development on the eastside of Nicols Road in addition to the ter- minus of the City's overall all purpose Highline Trail adjacent to the northeast corner of this proposed plat. Subsequently, it is recommended that an internal 8-foot bituminous trail be constructed around the perimeter of the pond in addition to a 5-foot concrete sidewalk being constructed adjacent to the northerly entrance of Erin Drive as it connects to Nicols Road (Cedar Avenue). I will be available to address questions concerning this plat and/or first phase development at the Planning Commission Meeting of October 28, 1980. Respectful submitted, Thomas A. Colbert, P.E.

(See attach- ment) At the time of the presentation, staff indicated that it was bringing this to the advisory committee's attention for review and input, and, that the staff had intended to meet with representatives of the three local hockey associations for their review. On October 15, 1980 staff met with the various hockey association representatives to review the material as presented to the Advisory Committee, as well as to review other problems and issues related to the winter program. A memo dated October 17, 1980 is attached for your review, which is a synopsis of the items discussed at that meeting. The hockey associations were supportive of the staff's plans to classify the rinks into three categories. In addition, they sighted a recommendation to close outdoor skating rinks at 9:00 P.M. during the regular skating season, rather than the previous time of 9:30 P.M. The parks staff is in agreement with this recommendation which is born out by lack of use during the 9:00 to 9:30 P.M. time period by skaters. Also, a high degree of vandalism and supervisory problems are encountered during this 2 hour period. Action Requested: The Advisory Committee is requested to either approve or disapprove the classification system for use during the 1980-81 skating season, and for the system to be re-evaluated throughout the year for possible changes during ensuing skating years. Action is also requested to approve or disapprove the closing of facilities at 9:00 P.M. during regular skating season hours. November 1980 MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARK COMMITTEE FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION REASON: STATE SHADE TREE PROGRAM/CITY OF EAGAN REFORESTATION The Minnesota Department of Agriculture administers the State Shade Tree Control Program. On November 15 of each year municipalities wishing to be included in the aid program is required to submit their shade tree disease control and replanting programs for the following calendar year. The Commissioner of Agriculture reviews these programs to determine if the requirements of the law and rules have been met. In the last legislature session the code was changed and required communities to establish local, review commissions to review and recommend changes within the municipality. As the Advisory Park Committee is aware, the City Council took such action to appoint the Advisory Park Committee to act as the City's advisory commission on tree's. Inclosed you will find the proposed 1981 budget work sheet for the tree con- servation department. The total budget envisions expenditure of $32,024 as follows: approximately $20,000 for salaries and fringe benefits, supplies totaling $2,380 and other services and charges amounting to $8,975. These totals compared to a budget figure of approximately $16,000 for 1980. The increase in budget is reflected in two areas: one contractual services: $8,000 has been budgeted for 1981. This amount of money is being programmed for reforestation of City parks and open spaces. City staff envisions an aggressive tree reforestation program for 1981 as well as a development and refinement of improved nursery stock. The other major area of budget increase is in that of personnel services. Prior to 1981 the City Forester position has been a half time position. The 1981 proposed budget indicates a salary level for a full time forester be- ginning April 1, 1981 and continuing throughout the year. ACTION REQUESTED: Advisory Park Committee is requested to review, and approve, the 1981 tree conservation budget for the purposes of submission by November 15 to the Department of Agriculture for State Shade Tree Program reimbursement. Also attached for committee review is the material sent to Eagan residents when Dutch Elm or Oak Wilt diseases are suspected. City staff will review existing control areas for Oak Wilt and Dutch Elm disease as well as the budget material at the Advisory meeting. II ~I w , CITY OF EAGAN PARK AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT 3501 Coachman Road Eagan, Minnesota 55122 454-7802 SHADE TREE DISEASE CONTROL PROGRAM The City of Eagan has initiated a Shade Tree Disease Control Program to meet the requirements of Minnesota State Laws and Department of Agriculture Rules and Regulations concerning Dutch elm and Oak wilt diseases. Eagan has established control areas in those parts of the City where control of these diseases is feasible. Eagan City Ordinance No. 53 authorizes the City Tree Inspector to order removal of diseased, dead or dying trees, or oak and elm wood with bark intact. Removal must be within 20 days of notification. The prompt removal of dead and dying trees is all important in reducing the rate of spread of these tree diseases. If a diseased tree is left untreated, close surrounding trees may sub- sequently become infected resulting in more tree mortalities each year. Oak wilt and Dutch elm disease are both caused by a fungus. These diseases can spread rapidly from tree to tree. DUTCH ELM DISEASE - Dutch elm disease spreads underground through common root. systems or root grafts which occur when roots of different trees cross and eventually grow together. Dutch elm disease is also transmitted overland. Dead and dying elm trees, as well as elm wood with the bark intact, can serve as breeding sites of elm bark beetles. These beetles carry the fungus from diseased trees to healthy trees and infect them. OAK WILT DISEASE - Oak wilt disease is transmitted primarily underground through root grafts as described above. These root grafts only occur between trees of the same species. For example; a white oak can only root graft with another white oak. Oak wilt can also spread overland. The Oak wilt causing fungus can produce fruiting bodies on red oak trees. Spores pro- duced by these fruiting bodies are carried by the wind and/or sap feeding insects and can in- fect all types of oak trees. While there is some overland spread of Oak wilt, infection primarily occurs from root grafts. According to the Eagan City Ordinance No. 53, any elm tree which is dead, nearly dead, or which has been determined to be diseased must be removed. Also to be removed is any living or standing oak tree, or part thereof, infected to any degree with the Oak wilt fungus. Those trees to be removed are marked with a red or orange "X". Stumps must be removed or debarked to ground level. r Although it is not required, it is suggested that property owners attempt to disrupt any root grafts between diseased trees and healthy trees. This root graft disruption may be accomplished with a mechanical trenching machine or with a chemical soil fumigant. Trenching and soil fumigation are services available from many landscaping firms and tree services. The trees may be brought to the City's tree disposal site located on Coachman Road. Bring only elm and oak trees as permitted by the Metropolitan Pollution Control Regulations, which prohibit the burning of any wood greater than 6 inches in diameter and 4 feet in length. Residents, as well as con- tractors for Eagan residents, may use the site, free of charge. Burning takes i place between the hours of 7:30 AM and 3:30 PM. Diseased wood may be left at the site after hours. 1 I Elm trees may be cut and split into firewood only if the bark is removed. Red oak may be used as firewood only if it is covered with 4 millimeter plastic during the period of April 15 to July 1, when spores are most likely to be produced. Wood from white and bur oaks may be cut and split for firewood with- out any special treatment what so ever since the fungus can not produce spores on these species of oak. With your help we can reduce the rate of spread of Dutch elm disease and Oak wilt. It is important s to remove dead and diseased trees to limit the spread of these diseases. In addition to combating Dutch elm and Oak wilt disease, removal of dead an dying trees also protects your family and property from injury or damage that might occur if this tree or any part of it were to break off in a storm or high winds. If you have any questions, please call the Eagan Tree Inspector at 454-7802. He is available between 7:00 AM and 3:30 PM and is willing to offer assistance and answer any questions you might have. Thank you for your cooperation. f CITY OF EAGAN PARK DEPARTMENT 3501 COACH AN RD.

The Advisory Park Committee chairman, and the Director of Parks & Recreation have previously discussed objectives that the Advisory Committee may wish to develop. As an example, the Advisory Committee may wish to begin a program whereby the Advisory Committee tours the City's parks and recreational programs on a spring and fall basis for the purpose of keeping in touch with current park problems and programs. And, develop a "Recreational Guide Plan" dealing with recreational opportunities within the City. No action is being requested from the Advisory Committee at this time. However, the Advisory Committee may wish to begin discussion on it's ideas in an effort to define what issues, problems and goals it would find as significant for the Advisory Committee to concentrate on. November 1980 MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARK COMMITTEE FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION REASON: 1981 LAWCON GRANT APPLICATION Although the next round of LAWCON grant applications is still several months off, it would seem that now is the appropriate time for the Advisory Committee and staff to begin looking at what its priorities are for possible funding in the next round of grant applications. BY identifying possible projects at an early date City staff can plan an objective approach to developing plans in meeting the criteria of the grant. This may include such things as an informational meeting with local residents, as well as identifying areas which would help the grant achieve success. At this point in time staff has briefly reviewed several grant possibilities, these include the development of Carlson Lake Park, a development proposal for Rahn Park, (should the land acquisition be successful) and a grant application for the development of Thomas Lake Park. The Advisory Committee may wish to identify other park areas for development or possible land acquisition and bring it to the staff's attention for review and evaluation. The intention of staff, over the next two months, will be to review these suggestions to make a determination as to which park area will have the greatest possibility of success and with greatest benefit to the Eagan park system.
