Adjournment t MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARK COMMITTEE MEMBERS FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES DATE: FEBRUARY 5, 1980 SUBJECT: AGENDA INFORMATION FEBRUARY 7, 1980, ADVISORY PARK COMMITTEE MEETING The first item of business is to call the meeting to order, followed with the. Pledge of Allegiance. The minutes for a regular meeting held on December 6,'1979, and a special meeting on January 10, 1980, are subject to any corrections by members of the Advisory Park Committee before approval is given. The agenda, with additions and/or deletions, is then is order for consideration and should be established per action of the Advisory Park Committee. ORGANIZATIONAL BUSINESS A. Establish Meeting Date During 1979, the first Thursday of the month was estao is a as a date for a 'regular meeting of the Advisory Park Committee. The meetings have started at 7:00 p.m., and, per direction of Mayor Blomquist, will not last any later than 11:00 p.m. The 11:00 p.m. adjournment is also practice.1 by the City Council and the Advisory ?lanning Commission. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS MATTER: To establish a time and meeting date for regular meetings to be held by the Advisory Park Committee. B. Election of Officers The officers for the Advisory Park Committee in 1-979 were: .yrel Lundston, Chairperson; Roger Martin, Vice Chairperson; and Jean Loken, Secretary. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS MATTER: To elect a Chairperson, Vice Chairperson and Secretary for the Advisory Park Committee for 1980. All positions are one year terms. C. Committee Appointments The Advisory Park Committee has two subcommittees consisting of a Development Committee and Trail Com- mittee. The Development Committee for 1979 consisted of Neil Coates as Chairman, and three members - Roger Martin, Dick Carroll and Arnold Ludke. The Trail Committee consisted of Jean Loken as Chair- person and Members Sharon Radl, Mike Thomas and Carolyn Thurston. The Chairperson did attend both committees at various times through- out the year. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS MATTER: To select members of the Advisory Park Committee to serve on both committees. Briefly, the objective of the Development Committee is to have members of the Advisory Park Committee from time to time review development Advisory Park Committee Agenda Information February 5, 1980 Page Two proposals for the purpose of selecting lard that is -suitable for park land acquisition and development. Realizing that the City of Eagan is only 20% to 25% developed, the-Advisory Park Committee has previously felt that a trail system throughout the community both from a community and regional aspect is an important part of the park land and open space development concept. The Trail Subcommittee meets to examine the overall long range trail plan for the City as well as planning trails with, current development. D. Other Any other organizational matters, such as rules of order, etc., should be addressed at this time by the Chairperson and Committee Members. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS A. Lexington Second Addition Mr. Richard Roeglin has made appli- cation or a preliminary pat entitled Lexington Second Addition, which is located in the SEk of Section 10. Mr. Roeglin also applied for rezoning from R-4 (Residential Multiple District) to R-3 (Resi- dential Townhouse District). Both the preliminary plat and rezoning were approved by the Advisory Planning Commission at their last regular meeting held on January 22, 1980. A copy of the City Plan- ner's -report regarding this development is enclosed on pages through /4~for your reference. City Planner Runkle will present a propose park land dedication for this project at the meeting on Thursday. This item will appear on the City Council agenda for the February 19, 1980, meeting. B. Rosewood Corporation for Coachman Land Co. 1st Addition A preliminary plat application was ma a y t e Z1~j",1S1e1i11;1(jC113 Corporation for a plat entitled "Coachman Land Company 1st Addition". This development is located north of Four Oaks Road and east of Coachman Road in Section 9. This application was on the January 22, 1980, Advisory Planning Commission meeting agenda; however, it was con- tinued due to the developer's request. The matter will again appear on the Advisory Planning Commission agenda at the February 27, 1980 meeting and then, if action is taken, will appear on the City Council agenda at the March 18, 1980, meeting. For additional information on this matter, please refer to the City Planner's report, a copy is enclosed on pages- through 5 for your reference. City Planner Runkle will review the sta s recommenda- tion for park land dedication as it relates to this development at the meeting on Thursday. t~ - Advisory Park Committee Agenda information February 5, 1980 Page Three C. Vincent Kennedy for Oakwood Addition The preliminary plat approval or a woo ition was on the aruary 22, 1980, Advisory. Planning Commission agenda. Again, due to a request by the develo- per, this item was continued until the February 27, 1980, APC meeting, and therefore, 'if action is taken, it will not appear on the City Council agenda until the March 18, 1980, meeting. - - Because this item was to be continued, a report was not prepared by the City Planner. A copy of this report will be supplied to you at a later date. City Planner Runkle will present the staff's recommendation for park land dedication at it relates to this de- velopment at the meeting on Thursday. I PUBLIC HEARING A. Highline Trail Extension A trail was proposed by the City staff and Advisory Park Committee to run east-west through the community within the high transmission electric lines located be- tween Count Road 32. Portions of that trail Y load 30 and County, have been constructed from Capricorn Court to Woodgate Lane, lust west of Johnny Cake Ridge Road. A grand opening of this trail segment is planned for the spring of 1980. The next extension of the trail is planned from its present termini at Woodgate Lane to Nicols Road (Old Cedar Avenue). Former Park Director Schmidt felt that residents who live in the Cedar Grove area and more speci- fically. on Shale Lane who would abut a portion of this proposed trail segment between Rahn Road and Nicols Road should be noitified about the City's plans and be 'given an opportunity to appear before the Advisory Park Committee to express their feelings about the proposed trail. A letter, along with some maps showing the poten- tial trail, was sent to all residents residing on Shale Lane that would be affected. by this proposed trail segment. Enclosed on pages R(e through ~~j is a copy of the-letter, map and a mailing list o~t~iose persons who received notice of the meeting on Thurs- day. Public Works Director Colbert will provide background to the audience as to the proposed uses for the trail and it is recom- mended that the Committee allow for input from the residents as to their concerns and/or proposals for uses of the trail. In ad- dition, Public Works Director Colbert will present a proposal by the City to- purchase 20 acres of land to expand Rahn Community Park. This land is located between the hockey rink and Nicols Road which is south of the residents abutting Shale Lane. The City has not purchased the 20 acres to date; however, it is desira- ble that there be community input, specifically from the existing neighbors as to their thoughts toward expanding the park and pro- posed uses for park land expansion. 1 . Advisory Park Committee Agenda Information February 5, 1980 Page Four OTHER BUSINESS A. Park Development Fees (1980) It is recommended that each year E He Advisory ark Committee review the per lot cash park land dedication equivalent for new subdivisions in the community. For the new members, the City does not always require park land dedica- tion for all developments. However, if park land is not dedicated for a specific platted area, the City will require a cash payment on a per unit basis in lieu of the park land dedication. In 1979, park land dedication was $240 per single family unit, $200 per duplex, townhouse or mobile home unit, and $150 for each apartment unit. This cash when collected is earmarked to a Park Site bevelop- merit Fund which is used to purchase park land and/or develop ex- isting park land in future years. The City Administrator will present the proposed rate increase along with a formula as to how the per unit charges are derived at the meeting, on Thursday. B. Spring Report - Park & Recreation Supervisor e C. Position Vacancy/Director of Parks & Recreation For the benefit o the new members, our ormer Parks Recreation Director, to assume a Barb Schmidt, resigned effective February 1, 1980, new position as the Assistant Park Director for Dakota County. Barbara was the first Park Director for the City of Eagan, having started her duties as Park Director in 1975. Prior to that, Barb was a member of the Advisory Park Committee. I have been direc- ted by the City Council to proceed with the advertisement for the vacancy, screening of applicants and to present candidates to the City Council for final interview and selection. More than likely, a Parks and Recreation Director will not be hired until April due to the amount of time required in advertisement, screening and the amount of time that must be given by the successful candidate with his or her existing position. I will provide additional infor- mation regarding the selection process at the meeting on Thursday. Enclosed is a copy of the Job description and letter I have sent out to people wl- are interested in applying for the Director of Parks and Recreation position with our City. In the interim, until a Parks Director is hired, I will assume the duties and responsibi- lities for that Dosition. s/Thomas L. Hedges City Administrator CITY OF EAGAN SUBJECT: REZONING AND PRELD.4INARY PLAT APPLICANT: RICHARD ROEGLIN LOCATION: A REPLAT OF A PORTION OF THE LEXINGTON ADDITION IN THE SE4 OF SECTION 10 EXISTING ZONING: R-4 (.RESIDENTIAL MULTIPLE DISTRICT) DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: JANUARY 22, 1980 DATE OF REPORT: JANUARY 14, 1980 REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE - CITY PLANNER Appli(~ation Submitted: The first application submitted is for a preliminary plat - a replat of the Lexington Addition to Lexington 2nd Addition, which would consist of approxi- mately 18.6 acres and would contain 27 auadriminium buildings (108 dwelling units). The second application submitted is a request to rezone the 18.6 acres from R-4 (Residential Multiple District) to R-3 (.Residential Townhcuse District) to allow 108 townhouse units. Comments 1. i:: the past the Lexington Addition was platted into lc lots in which 11r. Roe lin could of constructed apartment buildings. At the presen'~ time Mr. Roeglin is proposing to replat a portion of the Lexington Addition for a quadriminium development, keeping the new plat in continuety with the or- iginal plat which was proposed. 2. The proposed quadriminium project would be consistant with the propcsed land use wit."An the comprehensive plan. The plan indicates an R III land use, which is a mixed residential from 6-12 units per acre. The proposed neigh- borhood would contain the land east of the proposed alignment of In`erstate 35 East.; South of the Bulk Mail Center West of Lexington Avenue and North of Yankee Doodle Road. 3. The proposed plat would follow basically the same street design of the or- iginal plat. So if additional development does not occur the City will have a dedicated street within this development.. The staff has suggested that the main street witin the project have an 80 foot right-of-way according to the trip generations which have been calculated for this neighborhocd. The developer has agreed to dedicate and construct this collector street through the pro- ject, but has requested that he be allowed to only have a 30 foot setback J RICHARD ROEGLIN JANUARY 14, 1980 PAGE TNO instead of thenormally required 40 foot setback-. A variance would not be reouired for this 30 foot set back because the collector street is not designated on the thourough fare plan. However, the Advisory Planning Commission and Council should be aware of this request. 4. The proposed development will contain 108 dwelling units (27 buildings). The proposed road will be public street. The developer is also providing a Tot-Lot to take care of the needs of the pre-schoolers within the proposed development. 5. The following chart is a breakdown of the Lexington 2nd Addition: TOTAL AREA - NET DEVELOPABLE LAND SITE COVERAGE UNITS/AC UNITS ALLOWED 18.6 AC 14.69 AC 15% 7.35 7.25 Note according to the ordinance 52, the maximum number of units all,-xed is 106.64 D.U. Since the applicant is building 4-plex's the maximum number of buildings would be over 261. Therefore, the 27 buildings which are being presented, would be the maximum number of structures allowed. 6. The proposed development meets all setback requirements. 7. The Park Committee has not formally reviewed this plat, but they have reviewed the park plan protion of the comprehensive plan. The plan indicates a 10-15 acre park located South of this proposed development. T-?refore, staff is recommending that a cash donation satisfy the park require-rent. If approved the plat should be subject to the following conditions: 1. The proposed development shall have a Homeowners Association and the bylaws of the Homeowners Association shall be submitted and reviewed by staff prior to final plat approval. 2. A tot-lot should be provided by the developer to provide for the needs of the pre-school children. 3. A sidewalk shall be provided on one side of the proposed collector street. 4. The proposed plat shall be reviewed by the Dakota County Plat Commission and subject to the plan commissions comments. 5. All drainage and utility, easements shall be provided as required by City Staif. 6. No building permits shall be issued on outlot A. { t RZ^.HARD RCE1LIN J~_::?1ARY i 4, 1980 PATE THREE Engineering Recommendations: 1. A revised grading and drainage plan must be approved by City Staff, prior to final plat application. 2. A sidewalk along the south side of the minor east west collector street shall be the responsibility of this development. 3. Street names must be changed to conform to City street name policy, prior to final plat.application. a , t MEMO TO: Advisory Planning Commission c/o Dale C. Runkle - City Planner FROM: Thomas A. Colbert - Director of Public Works DATE: January 17, 1980 RE: Preliminary Plat - LEXINGTON SECOND ADDITION (RICHARD ROEGLIN) The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department has the following comments to offer in regards to the review of the above referenced prelimi- nary plat: UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer and water main of sufficient size, capacity and depth to service this proposed addition, is available within Lexington Avenue, immediately adjacent to the East property line of this proposed plat. STREETS: Access to this proposed plat will be handled by the existing approved Lexington Avenue immediately adjacent to the East boundary of this plat. Internal streets serving this plat will provide for an 80 foot right-of-way for the east west minor collector street and a 60 foot right- of-way for the internal loop street on the north side. The street name as submitted on the revised plan dated December 31, 1979, will have tote revised to be consistent with the City street naming policy. Sidewalk is intended to be constructed along the south side of the east west collector street. This installation should be the responsibility of this developer. GRADING AND DRAINAGE: A grading and drainage plan has beer. submitted which shows the majority of the drainage from this proposed addition will be dir- ected into an internal storm sewer system which will empty into a small on-site pond located immediately south of this proposed addition. An out- let from this pond will have to be constructed to the existing storm sewer in Lexington Avenue, which will care,; the water north into our master store. sewer plan. There is no anticipated adverse on our stoz:.~ sevier be pause of this development. The grading plan will have to be revised to provide for a minimimi normal water elevation of 883.5 with a high wa-?r elevation of 8885.5 for this small on-site pond, immediately to the south. We will re- quire that the minimum floor elevation of any structure will be set at 887.5 to provide for the necessary freeboard, for any potential flooding. EASE.".EN-S AND RIGHTS-OF-WAY: Sufficient right-of-way has already been dedicated for Lexington Avenue, which has been improved to its final design section. An 80 foot right-of-way must be dedicated fir the minor collector east west street, with all other public streets requiring a 60 foot right-of- way. I will be available at the Planning Commission meeting of January 22, 1980 to answer any questions the Commission may have. Respectfully submitted~,~ Thomas A.

RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER Application Submitted. An application has been submitted for a preliminary plat, Coachman Land Company First Addition, which contains approximately 62 acres. The proposed subdivision consists of 23 lots; lots 1 through 19, block 1 would contain 18 quadriminium buildings, 72 dwelling units; lot 2C. block 1 and lots l through 3,block 2 delineate the land uses and the phases which Rosewood Corporation is proposing to develop in the future. Comments: 1. Phase I,which is the quadriminium development is the only phase which is under consideration at this tire. The plat consists of 19 lots and 1? buildings, 72 dwelling units. Lot 7 of the proposed plat has been de-ignated as a tot-lot. 2. The first phase of the development contains approximately 14 acres land, of which 11.9 acres could be used for density. The maximum number of units al-lowed in Phase I is 86.8 dwelling units. Rosewood Corporation is proposing 72 dwell- ing units. 3. The applicant is proposing to plat two cul-de-sac streets, to prcvi;e access to the Quadri-u nium units. The applicant feels the two cul-de-sacs provide the best design and livability for the proposed project. Homever, the loop street ;would be the best for maintenance on the City's part. The applicant has requested to stay with the two cul-de-sacs, because of the design and livability that the cul-de-sacs would provide. 4. Lots 1,8,9,10,11, & 12 would require variances from the street setback re- quirements. 5. The developer has indicated that each of the units within the quadriminium project, will be individually for sale. Therefore, the plat should reflect a lot for each individual unit. ROSE7COD CORPORATION JANUARY 15, 1980 PAGE TIVO 6. Lots l through 19, block l is the first phase of the overall development which is the quadriminium project. Lot l,block 2 would be the second phase of the development, which would consist of a townhouse project or row housing. Lot 2,block.2 is indicated as being phase three, which would be senior citizen housing. Lot 20,block 1 is being proposed as being the fourth phase of the development, which would consist of a condominium project individual units for sale from the beginning. Lot 3,block 2 has been negotiated as park land which will be dedicated in conjunction with the phases of development. 7. The Park Committee has not formally acted on the first phase of this plat. However,when the Coachman Oaks Apartment complex was approved the City negotiated the park land which would be dedicated with the entire project. This dedication would be lot 3 block 2 of the plat. If approved the plat should be subject to the following conditions.: 1. A Home Owners AssocAtion shall be established and the by-laws of the Home Owners Association shall be submitted and reviewed by the City Staff, prior to final plat. 2. Tot-lot should be installed by the developer to provide for the needs of the pre-school children. 3. A sidewalk should be installed on or.,:~ side of the collector street accord- ing to City policy. 4. All drainage and utility easements shall be provided as required by City Staff. 5. Building permits shall only be issued on the first phase of the development And before building permits can be issued, the developer must complete all portions of the final plat, with the exception of filing the final plat of the first addition with the County. The final plat shall be filed with the Ccun.y after the foundations of the buildings have been constructed. 6. A detailed landscape plan shall be submitted and approved by the City Staff. 7. The. City requests that the park land,which Rosewood Corporation has sold to the City of Eagan or dedicated to the City, be included in the preliminary plat of Coachman Land Company First Addition. ROSE;'lOCD CORPORATION JANAURY 15, 1980 - - PAGE THREE ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS: 1• A revised grading and drainage plan must be submitted and approved by City Staff, prior to final plat application. This should provide for maximum slopes of 3-1, and proper erosion control measures. 2. The proposed two cul-de-sacs be eliminated and replaced with a loop street.system. 3. Street names be designated in conformance with the City street name policy, prior to final plat application. 4. Sufficient right-of-way be dedicated to provide for a 80 foot right- of-way, along Four Oaks Road and Coachman Road. And all customary and utility adjacent to property lines be shown on the final plat. drainage I 17 . i MEMO TO: ADVISORY PLANNING CONSISSION c/o Dale Runkle - City Planner FROM: Thomas A. Colbert - Director of Public Works DATE: January 17, 1980 RE: Preliminary Plat - COACHr.4AN LAND COMPANY. FIRST ADDITION (ROSFNOOD CORPORATION The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department offers the following information for consideration in the review of the above referenced plat: UTILITIES: Sanitary sewer and water main of sufficient size, capacity and depth to handle this proposed development is available within public right- of -way- along Four Oaks Road, immediately adjacent to the south line of this proposed plat. STREETS: Access to this proposed plat is made available by way of existin , Coachman Road and Four *ks Road. These streets are presently constructed to proper alignment and grade but are not co=leted to their full design, minor. collector status of 44 feet wide. This plat will require the extension of Four Oaks Road to the east of Coachman Road, to provide proper access. Side- walks will be required along the north side of Four Oaks Road, and should be the responsibility of this development at this time. This proposed plat provides for two internal cul-de-sacs, connecting onto Four Oaks Road, to service this portion of the plat. There is no adverse topography or unusual land constraints that dictate the necessity of these cul-de-sacs as shown. The developer has indicated that they have investigated the proposal of looping these cul-de-sacs as previously recommended by staff during the summer of 1979. However, their design preferential indicates their desire to proceed with the two cul-de-sac proposal. The engineering staff does not recommend approval of the cul-de-sac design because of the inherent maintenance problems and related costs associated with that type of design. It also hampers tae effective public safety patrolling and emergenc-1; vehicle access withcut the benefit of a loop street. Because of the topography of lots 11 through 19 of block 1 (western portion of this phase) , there is a straight 5% grade from Four Oaks Road to the end of the cul-de-sac. This ` - might present accessibility problems during subfreezing winter conditions, which could hamper the accessibility to these lots. With a loop street, a secondary access would be provided by way of minimal grades. GRADING AND DRAINAGE: The grading and drainage plan submitted shows cuts in the vicinity of 8 to 10 feet for lots 14 through 18 of block 1, this- wiles necessitate a 10 foot bank adjacent to the Timberline properties. It is re- commended that this slope be graded so that it is not steeper than a 3-1 slope, for maintenance and erosion control purposes. Drainage for this proposed plat will be handled-by the existing storm sewer system presently in place along Four Oaks Road, this is of sufficient size and depth.to handle this proposed plat. A detailed erosion control plan must be submitted and approved by Staff, prior to final plat application. This is required due to the existing steep topography that this construction activity will be effecting IS F. = "'OD CCjuFGRA -T -N JANUARY 17, 1980 PACE TWO EAMENTS AND RIGHTS-OF-'JAY: Sufficient right-of-way should be dedicated to-provide for the 80 foot.minor collector street of Four Oaks Road. A customary drainage and utility easement adjacent to property lines will also be required. I will be available to further discuss details of this proposed plat at.. the Planning Commission meeting of January 22, 1980.` Respectfully submitted, . &&-eAZ ( ••OD Thomas A.

MINNESOTA 55122 PHONE 454-6100 January 30, 1980 ' Dear Eagan Resident: I am writing to inform you of City park plans in your immediate area. I hope you will take a few minutes to look over the following. information. The first item that should be of interest to you is the fact that the City is attempting- to obtain funding to purchase 20 acres of land to expand Rahn Community Park. This land is located between the hockey rinks and Nicols Road (formerly Cedar Ave.) and would be used to develop additional park facilities in the future-when park development funds become available. These facilities could include athletic areas such as so_cer and football fields, perhaps a Jogging track, a parking area off Cedar Ave., and other improve- ments. If the purchase is successful, plans for use of the area will be drawn up and public meetings will be held to receive citizen input on the proposed uses. The second item I would like to make you aware of is an upcoming trail construction project in your neighborhood. Construction was begun last summer on the Eagan Nigh Line Trail which follows the route of the high transmission electric lines running east- west through the City. A ten foot wide asphalt bike trail is now in place from Capricorn Court to Woodgate Lane, just west of Johnny Cake Ridge Road. The extension of this trail to Nicols Road is planned for con- struction this spring. Enclosed is a new Eagan City Map showing the trail and a copy of the construction plan for the bicycle trail in your immediate vicinity. The Eagan Advisory Park Committee will be meeting February 7, 1980, at the Eagan City Hall at 3795 Pilot Knob Road to review the pre- liminary plans for this trail. This item is scheduled on the meeting agenda for discussion at 8:00 p.m. You are invited to attend this meeting to obtain more information about this project. . I You are also urged to view that portion of the trail which is al- ready in place. It can be seen from Thomas Lake Road or Johnny Cake Ridge Road; however, it is not maintained during the winter mont'ns at this time. aG THE LONE OAK TREE THE SYMBOL OF STRENGTH AND GROWTH IN OUR COMMUNITY. -City of Eagan January 30, 1980 Page Two This trail, when completed, will offer area residents a safe bicycle route away from heavily traveled streets. it will provide access to several existing and'proposed future City parks, as well as the Thomas Lake and Rahn Elementary Schools.
