DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
CityVue Commons Development
Superintendent of Parks Paul Olson gave an overview of the development proposal for the preliminary
planned development (CityVue Commons) and a preliminary subdivision to create six lots upon
approximately 10 acres generally located south of Yankee Doodle Road, north of Town Centre Drive
and west of Lexington Avenue. The proposal includes renovation of an existing 10 story office building
into a 112 unit apartment building. The plan also includes four commercial lots totaling approximately
30,000 sq. ft. of retail and a second 90 unit apartment building on its own lot.

OLD BUSINESS
Work Group Report – Program Review Committee
Advisory Parks Commission July 14, 2014 Page 5
Member Wietecki gave a brief review of the work group report from the Program Review Committee
latest work group meeting on February 26, 2014. The Committee’s focus is on the future needs of
programs for the Community. Director Johnson stated the next step is for the Committee is to review
the current programs that are offered. More updates will follow at a later date.
NEW BUSINESS
Cedar Grove Park Naming
Superintendent of Parks Paul Olson gave an overview and history of the four names for consideration.
The Commission was instructed to review the naming options and to recommend three to the City
Council for a final decision. Superintendent Olson stated the process of naming a park involves
multiple steps that include the input of the APrC and Historical Committee. Park names are generally
indicative of, location, a unique natural feature or a reference to historic significance. In this instance,
a subcommittee was appointed by the APrC to develop a recommendation for review by the full APrC.
Upon meeting, the subcommittee members opted to provide a prioritized list of four potential park
names to the APrC in anticipation of a recommendation being made to the City Council. The list of four
names was also reviewed by the History Committee who provided additional input.
Member Peterson gave background to one of the discussion that occurred during a work group
meeting. Wescott Station Park on the east side of the City is named after the railroad station that was
near that location the same would hold true on the other side of the City for the name Nicols Station
Park because it is also close the original Nicols Station.
Member Farlee stated his favorite name on the list is Bridgeview Park, the location of the Park has the
full view of the top of the new Cedar Bridge. Member Farlee stated the Onion Patch Park name is also
a favorite because of the historical value, referencing the City of Eagan at one point being the onion
capital of the United States. Member Farlee stated there should be a type of kiosk or historical marker
detailing this history. This name was suggested by the Eagan Historical Committee.
Member Wietecki stated a historical marker would be a good idea for any of the names that are being
considered, this would really give a sense of place.
Member Thompson added that the old Cedar Avenue Bridge that has been closed for some time to
vehicle traffic but is undergoing restoration and will be opened as a biking crossing path in the future.
This should be taken into consideration as a connection to the Bridgeview Park name.
Member Palmer stated in the work group they tried to break options into historical and geographical
names and he feels the Bridgeview Park name cover both categories.
After further discussion among Commission Members Member Neuman moved to recommend, not in
priority order, Onion Patch Park, Nicols Station Park and Bridgeview Park, Member Peterson seconded,
with all member present voting in favor of this name selection for recommendation to the City Council.

AGENDA ITEM: VI. MRPA Awards
TO: Advisory Parks Commission
PREPARED BY: Paula Nowariak, Recreation Program Manager
BACKGROUND/HISTORY:
Each year the MRPA recognizes agencies or organizations in Minnesota for outstanding achievements
in the following “Award of Excellence” categories:
• Administrative or management strategies
• Communications
• Park and facility
• Programming and events
• Sponsorship and partnerships
• Sustainability
• Volunteer initiatives
Eagan Parks & Recreation was awarded in the categories of Programming and Events for Streets Alive
featuring Showcase Eagan and Sponsorship and Volunteer Initiatives for Photography Volunteers from
the Minnesota Valley Photography Club for the year 2013.
DISCUSSION/EVALUATION:
Volunteer Initiatives: Photography Volunteers with the Minnesota Valley Photography Club.
The City of Eagan Parks & Recreation Department approached the Minnesota Valley Photography Club
about entering into a partnership. The club is a membership based community organization with
members from the Dakota County area. Members include novice photographers, advanced
photographers and professionally trained photographers. Parks & Recreation had a need to update
photographic images for use in marketing collateral to showcase our residents using our facilities,
parks and programs.
At the same time, the Minnesota Valley Photography Club was seeking meeting facilities for their
monthly meetings. The Partnership was developed in which photography club members would
provide photography services at City of Eagan special events, programs and facilities at no charge to
the City in exchange for once a month meeting space at the Eagan Community Center.
All 2013 Discover Brochure covers have been chosen from the professional quality images taken by the
volunteer photographers through this partnership. Photos that the Club has taken have also been used
in regional tourism advertising through the Eagan Convention & Visitor’s Bureau. The Eagan Art House
also worked with the photography club volunteers to develop a photography exhibit that showcased

Eagan images taken as part of the partnership. These photos were on display at the Eagan Community
Center and the Dakota County Chamber of Commerce for a several month exhibit. The Eagan 55
plus/Seniors issued a challenge to the club to photograph the Eagan Grandfather tree and the Seniors
would choose their favorite image and place the artwork in a prominent place in the Lone Oak Room.
Seven members took part in the challenge and Bev Keicker’s photo was chosen. The photo is on
display in the Lone Oak Room where it connects the past with the present.
Programming and Events: Streets Alive featuring Showcase Eagan
Streets Alive was held in September of 2013 for the first time. The goal of Streets Alive was to
promote active, healthy living, to promote non-motorized transportation in Eagan through walking,
running, biking and roller blading and to build strong community ties between residents through
exposure to community organizations, churches, volunteer groups, health and fitness businesses and
city departments. With a grant from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota and city funding, the event
was held on a 1.5 mile stretch of Central Parkway and Northwoods Parkway.
A team of employees from various city departments created a planning committee and led the event.
Over 3,000 attendees participated in the event, with 137 community vendors and nearly 100 City of
Eagan Staff.

AGENDA ITEM: VII. Water Quality Volunteer Recognition
Citizen Lake Monitoring Program
Wetland Health Evaluation Program
TO: Advisory Parks Commission
PREPARED BY: Jessie Koehle – Water Quality
BACKGROUND/HISTORY:
Citizen Lake Monitoring Program (CLMP)
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) runs this program; Eagan helps to support and
promote it. Volunteers gather water clarity information on lakes throughout Minnesota. Water clarity
is important because it correlates with algae concentration, which is related to the lake’s nutrient
status. Water clarity is naturally different from one end of Minnesota to the other, even without
human disturbance; Eagan lakes would not have the same clarity as boundary waters lakes. However,
human impacts such as stormwater runoff can greatly increase nutrient loads. In Eagan, the Water
Resources program helps to support CLMP through data sharing and volunteer coordination. City staff
does regular lake monitoring which sometimes overlaps with CLMP-sampled lakes in Eagan, but City
staff cannot monitor all lakes every year. CLMP volunteers help to fill in data gaps, helping MPCA to
make decisions on how to protect or restore our lakes. Volunteers receive recognition awards both
from MPCA and from City of Eagan when they achieve 5-year increments of sampling data turned in.
We would like to recognize two individuals this year, both who have turned in 15 years of lake clarity
data! They are: Bruce Peterson –Gerhardt Lake; Dan Scheller – Coventry Pond.
Wetland Health Evaluation Program (WHEP)
Dakota and Hennepin Counties have partnered with local Cities and residents volunteering to measure
the health of wetlands based on their plant and invertebrate communities. Each year, the City of
Eagan chooses 3 wetlands to evaluate; Eagan pays the county per wetland (for supplies, program
administration, volunteer coordination, data verification and reporting) and the volunteers go take the
field samples. Eagan’s returning WHEP team leader is Marianne McKeon, who may be present at the
meeting to present the results from 2013. Volunteers receive training on collection & identification,
and one of each team’s wetland sites is cross checked by other cities and by an independent consultant
for quality control. Ponds are rated as poor, moderate, or excellent. Reports are compiled and
published in February of the following year and can be found at: www.mnwhep.org. Since the
program started in the City of Eagan in 1997, a total of 37 wetlands have been evaluated in Eagan,
some multiple times. WHEP provides detailed ecological information that would otherwise not be

available, and the data is trustworthy because it is cross checked by experts. WHEP data is also useful
because it can help to track wetland health over time. WHEP builds friendships among the volunteers,
who gain a great deal of knowledge about wetland plants and invertebrates. WHEP volunteers
become a group of local ambassadors spreading knowledge in our community about the
environmental importance of healthy wetlands.

AGENDA ITEM: XI.A Moonshine Park Expansion Plan
TO: Advisory Parks Commission
PREPARED BY: Juli Seydell Johnson, Director of Parks & Recreation
Paul Olson, Superintendent of Parks and Forestry
BACKGROUND/HISTORY:
In 2013 the Dakota County Community Development Agency (CDA) submitted an application for the
development of a fifty (50) unit “work force” townhome complex on a vacant 24.58 acre parcel of
property bordering the south shore of LeMay Lake and adjacent to Moonshine City Park and Retreat
Center. Access to the parcel is via Jurdy Road which borders the property to the west. Much of the
acreage consists of lake bottom. Approximately 9.7 acres of the property are above the Ordinary High
Water Level (OHWL) The parcel has been designated for medium density residential development in
the Comprehensive Guide Plan and is zoned R-3: Residential Townhomes.
The existing Moonshine Park consists of 8.48 acres. Because the lots comprising the park are
unmeandered, a portion of the ownership consists of unusable lake bottom thereby limiting
development options. The primary feature of the park is the Moonshine Retreat Center. The Retreat
Center is a remodeled house that was acquired with the property. It is available for private rentals as
well as City sponsored meetings and classes. The house is accessible via a curving paved driveway
extending from Jurdy Road with a circular turn around near the house. Parallel parking is available in
designated areas along the driveway. In recent years improvements have been made to the shoreline
and open area behind the house to promote shore fishing and provide informal gathering space while
also enhancing the native shore land vegetation.
Since the time the park land was acquired and developed in the 1990’s the long term plan for the park
has included the acquisition of additional property to allow for the development of amenities
consistent with a neighborhood park. The acquisition of additional property for the park was
considered a priority in a system wide study conducted in 1998/99 and was reiterated as a priority in
the 20/20 Park System Vision Plan developed in 2004. The most likely source of additional property
was determined to be via a land dedication associated with the development of the subject property.
Potential amenities associated with the acquisition of additional property could include; playground,
shelter, trails, canoe launch and shore fishing opportunities.
The land dedication associated with the CDA development consisted of 3.6 acres (non-lake
/developable area) on the south shore of LeMay Lake. The dedication exceeded the .97 acres of

property that would have been required for a land dedication. Because the value of undeveloped
lakeshore property is extraordinarily high, the value of the 3.6 acres also exceeds the amount of a
potential cash dedication. Keeping the lake bottom portion of the lot as one parcel combined with the
upland portion of the dedication will prevent a gap in ownership as would be created if it were
retained with the CDA development area dedication.
DISCUSSION/EVALUATION:
In anticipation of developing the new park space the City secured the services of a park design
consultant to prepare concept plans. At the May 19th, 2014 APrC meeting City staff met with the APrC
membership to brainstorm concepts and themes for the new park area that would be shared with the
consultant. The discussion focused on potential uses, related amenities and developing an overall
vision for the property.
Since meeting with the APrC City staff has met with the consultant to review the APrC input and
provide general direction pertaining to development of the site. Staff has also reviewed the drafts of
various concept plans and provided comment. Overall the impressions are very positive. The
consultant will be at the at the APrC meeting to review the plan and gather additional comment.
Because the plan is still at the conceptual master plan phase there will be additional opportunity to
review specific details or make alterations as the process moves forward.

AGENDA ITEM: XI.B – 2015-2019 Park Capital Improvement Plan
TO: Advisory Parks Commission
PREPARED BY: Juli Seydell Johnson, Director of Parks and Recreation
Paul Olson, Superintendent of Parks
BACKGROUND/HISTORY:
One of the primary responsibilities of the APrC is the annual preparation and updating of the
Departmental Capital Improvement Plan. The CIP serves as a blueprint and planning guide for park
projects. Projects included in the CIP are generally either a park development or improvement project.
Projects construed as being primarily maintenance in nature are traditionally not eligible. Funding for
the CIP comes from the Park Site Fund (PSF), which is primarily money collected from developments at
the time of platting in lieu of a dedication of land. Because of declining dedication revenues, an
additional annual infusion of tax levy dollars into the program was approved to start in 2013.
ANALYSIS:
Historically the APrC has submitted to the City Council a CIP that consists of the current or “active”
year, generally the year at hand, and projections that encompass a total of five years. During the
review process, the active/current year of the CIP is finalized and a new “fifth” year is added. To allow
sufficient time for implementation, the current year of the CIP is generally considered to be final while
all other years are subject to change as part of future reviews.
The structure of the five year project schedule of the CIP has generally been driven by the projected
balance of revenues and expenditures of the PSF combined with need and/or demand. To provide a
better view of the future, recent versions of the CIP have included a list of potential projects, though;
they may not be scheduled or funded for years to come. This list has become known as the “Parking
Lot”. There has also been considerable discussion regarding the identification of alternative funding
sources for the CIP.
DISCUSSION/EVALUATION:
A number of projects in the proposed 2015 CIP represent the continuation of ongoing programs and
initiatives specific to replacement and upgrade. Examples include the replacement of aged playgrounds
and park amenities. As defined in the 20/20 Plan, these are considered “fiduciary” responsibilities.
Other improvement projects such as those proposed for Moonshine Park are tied to the
implementation of long range plans while improvements at Heine Pond Park are in response to an
emerging need.
