Councilmember Wachter askedYf�the asbestos is detrimental to human consumption. Director of Public Works Colbert explained that a section of the pipe was tested for structural strength and degenerative properties of the asbestos. He said that pipe is structurally sound and because the pipe is cement lined it provides a protective barrier from the asbestos particles;therefore,there are no safety hazards. He added that one of the advantages of installing a new watermain is to facilitate the replacement of the individual services,sislce the existing services are constructed of plastic and are difficult to locate. He further added tha€:tlie prims.cp benefit of the alternate would be the convenience of construction and minimal inconvenienci2:t0 propert".:owners.

City Airiy S3leldon indicated the appraisals are conducted in this manner provided that the City has the property owner's permission. Ms.Sullivan inquired about the difference in the costs contained in the original draft and the feasibility report. Director of Public Works Colbert explained that the preliminary costs are estimates only and the final assessment will be based on actual costs. Mayor Egan stated that if the bids.ar�:j#}.%r grea 4WF:t the estimate the Council can reject the bid. He added that some project bids are mud0-6%V&.:t1at: i=stiirtated cost. He noted that with regard to another project that is currently ongoing::t#ie bids toi ivied were about one-third below the estimated cost.

He stated that it did not appear that Atka had plumed well for the placement of the existing and future communication towers to adequately pi oxide covWge. Mr.Beck explained why the location near the sixth hole was not acceptable and also aged an explanation regarding the placement of existing and future towers. Jeff Bailhf,4623 Parkridge Drive;:stafed:iNat'fihe:iiifoi'i�iation being presented by AT&T,as well as their needs,keep changing depending upon the forum they are presenting to. He questioned if the search area could be reached if the height of the monopole was increased and the location moved further to the south. Mayor Egan noted that the information received from the City's consultant concludes that there is probably not another feasible site. Councilmember Wachter reiterated that due due to the fact that the City's consultant did not consider Ohmann Park 4Ls;:a::pp sibl2: to for the monopole. Mr. Beck stated that this site is too far south. He mentioned th#tfie'tbiisultant ha: examined the area to the south of the proposed site but they were not suitable.-Hki d4gd theiiIncreasing the height of the monopole would send the signal further but would not meet tlii6zi664:0ieause the coverage area is very irregular. Councilmember Masin stated that other communication companies are able to provide good coverage without impacting residential areas. She questioned how many poles are going to be installed in this area. City Administrator Hedges commented about the questions raised by Mr.Jensen concerning pole locations and said that the City Council appiQ d an o;.dinuVv addressing co-location of antennae on existing towers. He asked if the antennk'%'O ild:�*e l ca# :ori electric poles. Mr.Beck stated that the height of the poles is problematic.

Councilmember Blomquist moved to deny the Conditional Use Permit. The motion failed for lack of a second. Councilmember Awada stated tltaie City'Cti;iel tried everything to find a more suitable location and mitigate the impact to the.' ents. She said e only thing not tried was to approach the County to see if they would allow a road,to be placed throiikfi their property,which would be very unlikely according to staff.

DISCUSSED PRESENTATION FOR WINTER TRAIL MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS/PUBLIC HEARING City Administrator Hedges stated that at the direction of the City Council, staff was directed to review and summarize ordinances from:-ca b8i.*communities that have established winter trail maintenance operations and prnyid §644;&4dditional analysis on the proposals the City Council would like presented;at.th e::ui�i'tiYer tr�i� informational meeting. Director of Public Works Colbert provided background on iqmation that was compiled to prepare the public presentation options. He stated't6firao.•sepments were categorized into four basic areas including; ].)major arterial roads, .Z:)'' i 6finty.collectors, 3.) neighborhood of collector streets, and 4.) local streets. Director 'uk �c Works Colbert then presented two plan options for the four functional classifications which were differentiated as the base plan and alternate plan. He stated that the base plan would provide for the winter trail maintenance of approximately 78 miles,while the alternate plan is designed to maintain approximately 45 miles of trails. Director of Public Works Colbert stated that the base plan provides, in most cases, trail maintenail0t:on both:,side-:of arterial and collector roads, while the alternate plan primarily limitsElierret :niteiiaice of trails to one side. Neither plan provided for maintenance of recr fjonal or'#brad residential trails and sidewalks. Director of Public Works::C filbert aW*Provided a private plowing map that identifies those properties that have direct pia s?l eetre $aitil as a result would be directly responsible for plowing trails adjace:to:t]ieir'*prupe•fy: He presented another map that shows a trail and sidewalk plowing to residential,businesses and other areas that are maintained for the work force or persons walking to a business establishment. Director of Public Works Co113e2 :i= vieov .six(6)basic issues the City Council will need to address before adopting a£Quit p'rogi'siri':: stated that those issues are described as follows: 1.) Scope which is hoi 'ipiany miles of tilt& should be maintained. 2.) Time frame for service delivery or how:quickly should the•C ty remove the snow on trails. 3.) Frequency or what accumulation:;ff';now fall will derd6nine snow removal operations. t I Page 2/Special City Council Minutes April 7, 1998 Director of Public Works Colbert AlAller stated that regarding frequency,the present policy states a minimum of a two inch accurut}latim will xequire snow removal operations, and when the unfortunate death that odeurt�ec: i:a: ii ??? ? �n a wheelchair on Lexington Avenue occurred,the amount of snow do the`I kii'adj�cent to Lexington Avenue was measured at one inch. 4.) Who sbbWd remove the snow including adjacent property owners, city resources or contractual servirras: 5.) Funding, how should the City pay for the winter trail maintenance program. Colbert also presented information estimating the cost based on one inch versus two inches of snowfall for each plan and the related tax impact to various market value residential properties. Director of Public Works:66-Ibert alWtii'eviewed a sidewalk and trail survey that was conducted by staff for sixteen(16) ilburbariirornmunities and the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul about their policies regardirig wint&-t ail maintenance. He made reference to the trail survey on which City Councrlrnembff:5.exptessed#eir appreciation for the study and information. City Councilmember Masin asked if there are ADA regulations that require the City to provide winter trail maintenance and, further,would support a trailway maintenance program that makes the trails safe. City Councilmember Blomquist stated that winter trail maintenance is a hot topic and the City Council consider expanding the winter trail maintenance program. She further raised. :;gttsti :regarding the funding specifically about how the staff calculated the per hQu''.. 4eost fe ; vinter trail maintenance. Director of Public Works Colbert stated that#Fie'pr9perty tak:f ending chart is based on property valuation and the impact to each single family�f$i *«n#ial:property is dependent upon their taxable market value similar to the amount of city taxts5:pa City Councilmember Awada stated that she is supportive of the alternate plan stating that it is the least expensive and yet provides winter maintenance for forty-five (45)miles of trails. Director of Public Works Colbert stated that staff is looking for direction on the program the City Council would like presented to the public at the informational meeting. City Councilmembers expressed supp.6it or City..0 umilmember Awada's recommendation to present and begin the program* t fhe'£or tif06:(45)mile alternative. City Councilmember Wa bw stated.that the correspondence he has been receiving regarding the trailway maintenailMseems tik.*?ary on whether residents should plow the trails or whether they should be perfori�i�d.a U.K.Ity;a€M.'-bxpense to the entire community through property tax. He further stated that•the:Wpiresented by the Director of Public Works are helpful and should be used for the presentation. City Councilmember Wachter also stated that it might be preferable to plow trails on the north side of county roads that run east/west due to the additional sunlight those trailways receive. City Councilmember Blomquist stated that even though she.-* s; ith City Councilmembers in principal, it is often times difficult to anticipate t)a tis e•acco'r'ditijg to.the criteria for the trail maintenance program. Mayor Egan stated that;:die%City could use lith criteria if no one lives on the southside,the trail is then maintajngd on the north ari4.*both the criteria and additional f Page 3/Special City Council Minutes April 7, 1998 sunlight have been satisfied. May©F"Egan further stated that it is important to listen to the people,which is an important reasQA:for the.:pubJjr informational meeting. The City Councilmember ada'statecl'fIiat'fTie iiesired outcome for the neighborhood meeting is based ori:ifa r(4)points including; l.) is forty-five(45)miles enough trails to be maintained dur'iitg winter months, 2.) who should clean trails for private property, 3.) should snow accumulation be based on a one inch or two inch snowfall, and 4.) should the ordinance require winter snow removal by residents, some combination of residents and City or total removal by the City. Superintendent of Parks dl-*s an statea:f* at the City has a video,that is approximately ten (10)minutes in length, that codld::be included at the informational hearing. Mayor Egan stated that whatever policy is adooi6d by the:'Qty Council it is imperative that the City constantly re-evaluate the effectivbne5s::bf-.Ihe::ak►.o..�v.;ttmQval program to properly allocate both financial and personnel resoti?*c s:to': :.prvgt"a#�:::':eity Councilmember Wachter stated that there could be some impact on shrubs once the snow and ice is removed from the trails. He stated that due to the salt that is placed on city and county roads and plowed to boulevards, it is quite likely that salt from the roadway could impact shrubs and trees. Mayor Egan asked for consensus from the.;City:Council as to how the neighborhood meetings should be approached and, after.a:bri ` iciission, it was agreed that one community meeting would be held:c�ii::z� lofiiday QF Thursday in early May and then placed on a regular City Council meeting'ais' an-action itei .

RECOMMENDATION,AIRPORT RELATIONS COMMISSION,REQUEST FOR EXPANSION OF AIRPORT SOUND INSULATION PROGRAM VALLEY VIEW PLATEAU ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To authorize your request to the Metropolitan Airports Commission to expand its airport sound insulation program to include the Valley View Plateau area. FACTS: • The MAC Part 150 Sound Insulation Program was implemented by the Metropolitan Airports Commission in the late 1980's and has provided for the sound insulation of several thousand homes in the airport vicinity including approximately 160 homes in the City of Eagan. • The area eligible to receive sound insulation is defined by federal regulations as that within a 65 DNL contour as projected five years in the future. Depending upon the accuracy of the assumptions, such projections may or may not correspond with the actual impact. • To permit consistency in application of the program, the FAA has permitted the MAC to square off and include any block touched by the LDN 65 contour. In Eagan,the relationship between the diagonal shape of the eligibility contour and unusually shaped suburban blocks has resulted in areas receiving sound insulation that are actually more distant from the airport than the Valley View Plateau neighborhood which lies south of the Lost Spur Country Club,between Highway 13 and Highridge Terrace. • In the past,the Metropolitan Airports Commission has cited FAA restrictions in denying further expansions of the sound insulation program. Neighbors in the Valley View Plateau area have actively pressed the issue of their situation in correspondence with Metropolitan Airports Commission. The MAC has requested background information from the City relative to the assertions made by the neighborhood in addition to responding to those requests, it would be timely for the City to take a policy position in this regard as well. • At its meeting of April 14th,the Airport Relations Commission received background information and public comment from residents of the area. The Commission is recommending Council support of the neighborhood initiative. BACKGROUND: • Correspondence between Valley View Plateau and MAC on pages through Ir - • Topographic map of area on page . • Resolution on page To . t .2 16 August 1997 TO: JEFFREY HAMIEL, DIRECTOR, METROPOLITAN AIRPORTS COMMISSION FROM: VALLEY VIEW PLATEAU NEIGHBORHOOD EAGAN, MINNESOTA 55121 SUBJECT: PA=RTICIPATION IN CURRENT'' PART 150 SOUND INSULATION PROGRAM The purpose of this memorandum is to request participation in the current Part 150 Sound Insulation Program. We are a neighborhood of about forty homes situated just to the south of the Lost Spur Country Club referred to as Valley View Plateau. We are located about 1.5 miles from the end of Runway 11-R/29-L at the nearest point. Many of the homes were built in the 1950's before jetliners were introduced to the Twin Cities area. Some of these homes are Still occupied by the original owners. Our concerns about the program are outlined below: I INEQUITIES IN APPLICATION OF SOUND INSULATION PROGRAM: A. Homes to the east of our neighborhood either have been soundproofed or approved for soundproofing. A number of these homes are further from the flight path than homes in our neighborhood and all are more distant from the end of the runway. Apparently this is due to the use of the "Block Systeme in determining eligibility for sound insulation. B. A program that -spends up to $25,000 per home should be designed to prevent inequities in its implementation. Also it should not be so rigid as to prevent the use of some discretion where appropriate. C. The 1996 MSP Noise Mitigation Program (Item 4) , approved by the Commission, states in part that neighborhood and "natural boundaries" should be considered to the maximum extent possible. Our neighborhood is a prime, example of this concept. We are separated from other homes to the south by a wooded ravine behind Bridgeview Avenue, to the west by State Highway 13, to the north by the Lost Spur Country Club, and to the east, bounded by Highridge Terrace, the homes have already been soundproofed or approved for sound insulation. (See Attach. No-I. ) Page -2- II NOISE CONTOURS A. For the following reasons, we question whether the noise contours properly measure the noise to which our neighborhood is subjected: I. Statistics prepared by the Commission, reflecting the current Runway Use System, show that Runway 11-R has a significantly higher percentage of both daytime and nighttime departures than the other runways. 2. Most of these flights use a flight path that follows the outer limit of the Eagan-Mendota Heights corridor and many (over 20%) are wrongfully outside the corridor; some come directly over our neighborhood. We question whether the method used to determine the noise contours properly reflects those flights which are outside the corridor. 3. The contours do not reflect the noise we experience from engine run-up. This usually occurs in the early morning and, because of our close proximity to the airport, can be very intensive often causing vibrations within our homes. B. We also question the specific contour map which is used for the Part 150 Sound Insulation Program. 1. The 1996 contour map for sound insulation is based on projections made five or six years ago and do not reflect current conditions. 2. The contour mgp presented to the Mitigation Committee, and to a public meeting held in August 1996, described as MSP 1996 NO BUILD (referring to the 4-22 runway extension) shows that part of our neighborhood is, in fact, within the current DNL 65 contour. (See Attach. No. 2. ) 3. Although the 4-22 runway extension has been completed, it is currently being used only for international traffic. Accordingly it would appear that present runway usage is the same as reflected in the NO BUILD contour map. III WHAT ABOUT THE FUTURE? It appears that completion of the new north/south runway is years away. Because of the rapidly increasing number of flights, this new runway may have only limited impact on the use of the parallel runways. The conversion to Stage III aircraft is Page -3- proceeding at a slow pace and we doubt that it will be completed by the year 2000 as scheduled. Plans for the "temporary" extension of the south parallel runway and the additional extension to the 4-22 runway would indicate that we will not have relief anytime soon. CONCLUSION In view of the obvious inequities in the existing program, and the fact that a portion of our neighborhood is actually within the present DNL 65 Contour, we, the undersigned, request that homes in the Valley View Plateau Neighborhood (see Attach. No.l. ) be approved at this time for sound insulation under the current Part 150 Sound Insulation Program.

Since the Part 150 Residential Sound Insulation Program is a federal program,many of the program rules, including eligibility,are established by the federal government and must be met by all U.S. airports who choose to implement Part 150 Programs. The Federal Aviation Administration(FAA)requires that eligibility for the Part 150 Residential Sound Insulation Program is determined by using the certified DNL (day/night level) computer-generated noise contour. As directed by FAA,the DNL noise contour is an estimated yearly noise average containing all noise exposure assumptions including arriving and departing ailefaft operations,runway use, flight track information, aircraft type information,noise abatement runway use priorities and any runway& taxiway modifications. The MSP 1996 DNL Noise Contour(see Attachment 2)is the only DNL noise contour certified by the FAA for MAC Part 150 Program implementation. Based on FAA requirements, only blocks that are intersected or completely contained within the outermost contour boundary are eligible to receive Part 150 Program insulation modifications. (The FAA defines a block to be a group of parcels that are geographically bounded by city streets or boundaries) The MAC is required to determine block eligibility for the Part 150 Program based on these rules. The Valley View Plateau blocks do not meet this criteria, since they are located completely outside of the certified 1996 DNL65 contour boundary.Neighboring blocks are eligible because they are intersected by the outermost DNL contour boundary. The Metropolitan riroorts Cpm r,is an affirmative action employer. Reliever Airports: AIRLAKE -ANOKA COUNTY/bLaw.s -.T._ -FLYING CLOUD -LAKE ELMO -SAINT PAUL DO%%^�*rO%%N It is likely within the next 2.3 year period,the FAA will request that an updated DNL noise contour be generated for the Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport(2005 DNL60 noise contour). In November, 1996 the MSP Noise Mitigation Committee recommended that MAC seek approval from FAA to develop "neighborhood and natural boundaries" when determining future eligible blocks. It is important to note that all boundary adjustments will be subject to FAA approval and that new blocks entering the program in the future would not be insulated until all currently eligible blocks within the 1996 DNL contour are completed. Sincerely, Je iel Exe ve Director M opolitan Airports Commission 36 December 15, 1997 Mr. Jeff Hamiel Executive Director METROPOLITAN AIRPORTS COMMISSION 6040—27m Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55450-2799 Dear Mr. Hamiel: I am writing on behalf of the Valley View Plateau neighborhood located in Eagan, Minnesota. We wish to thank you for your letter of August 27, 1997, relative to our request for sound insulation. You indicated in your letter that we are ineligible because no part of the neighborhood lies within the 1996 DNL 65 contour boundary. We question why this contour is still being used when the flight patterns at the airport have changed significantly since the contour was drawn about six years ago. Apparently it was anticipated that the crosswind runway 4-22 would be used much more than it has been. We understand that during the past several years only about 4% of departures use this runway. We doubt that this limited use of the runway would put areas in east Bloomington within DNL 65 as shown on the 1996 Noise Exposure Map presently used for sound insulation. This change in flight patterns, together with greater increases in airport traffic than anticipated, has put considerably more pressure on the parallel runways over the past several years. This, in turn, has resulted in more frequent overflights in our neighbgrhood. Section 103 of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act provides that a noise exposure map is required to be revised when any change in airport operation would create a substantial new noncompatible use in any area surrounding the airport. Section 150.21(d) of Part 150 defines substantial new noncompatible use to be an increase in the yearly day-night average sound level of LDx 1.5 dB or greater. As evidenced by the "MSP 1996 No Build" contour map presented to the Noise Mitigation Committee, it appears to us that our neighborhood, as well as other areas of Eagan and Mendota Heights, has realized such an increase in sound level. Accordingly, we wonder why a new projected noise exposure map was not submitted to the FAA several years ago when this change became apparent? Why are we still using a map that is woefully out-of- date? In your letter, you referred to an updated noise exposure map described as the "2005 DNL 60 Noise Contour." On the map that was presented to the Noise Mitigation Mr. Jeff Hamiel 12/11/97 Page 2 Committee, however, our neighborhood is not even within the DNL 60 contour. While we would be pleased if this should occur, we believe that MAC is again being over optimistic relative to airport traffic. It is our opinion that the new North-South runway may give us only temporary relief at best. The ever-increasing traffic volume at the airport would soon bring the pressure on the parallel runways back to its present level. If we do not qualify for sound insulation, it appears that our only relief would come from a change in airport operations. We fail to understand why there are so many flights outside the corridor and over our homes. It appears the corridor is sufficiently large enough to accommodate dual takeoffs while maintaining proper separation of the aircraft during normal weather conditions. Yet recent flight information shows that a substantial number of departures from Runway 12-R are outside the corridor. Some of us attended a Commission meeting in November 1992, at which the Commission voted not to fan air traffic over Eagan. Why is this decision not being adhered to? In effect, a new Eagan flight corridor has been created that runs from the centerline of Runway 12-R to a point 15* South of the runway centerline. From personal observation, there are virtually no flights off Runway 12-R that run North of the centerline. The ACTUAL corridor appears to be for the exclusive use of flights off Runway 12-L. Another procedure which contributes to excessive noise over our neighborhood is the present Runway Use System (formerly known as the Preferential Runway System). As you know, this is designed to direct as much air traffic as possible over the Eagan, Mendota Heights corridor. The sole purpose is to give relief to South Minneapolis, a high-density area. We do not object to this if the air traffic stays in the corridor. However, with the current traffic situation, including frequent overflights, we do object. The prevailing wisdom is that air traffic should be directed, if possible, toward compatible, low-density areas, and away from high-density areas, so as to affect as few people as possible. This appears to make sense, but is it fair to the residents in the low- density areas? We believe the answer is a resounding NO; unless, that is, the residents are compensated in some way. Our neighborhood is certainly not a compatible area. Although we have a lower density than South Minneapolis, our homes are entitled to a quieter environment just as those in South Minneapolis. Accordingly, we believe that the Runway Use System must be changed so that departures from the parallel runways are spread evenly in each direction, subject,of course, to prevailing weather conditions. Another source of airport noise in our neighborhood is the engine run-up procedure. We understand that many airports have built structures to alleviate this problem. Most notably Chicago O'Hare Airport has recently completed such a facility. Wouldn't it be appropriate to consider this for our airport? Mr. Hamiel, as you can tell by this letter, the residents in our neighborhood are very frustrated. We are not eligible for sound insulation, but still we are subject to numerous overflights and other airport noise. Even the departures, which follow the runway 3c;L Mr. Jeff Hamiel 12/11/97 Page 3 centerline, are quite noisy. We believe we are entitled to some relief either through sound insulation or a change in airport operations, as well as other noise mitigation measures. We hope you and your staff can provide us with answers and solutions to the questions and issues we have raised in this letter. Sincerely, Thomas N.Morahan 2640 HightAew Ter.

Since your initial letter raised a variety of questions that required responses from multiple Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) departments, I was not able to provide you with a more timely response. By nature, the Part 150 Program Update and noise contour submission process is a very long and time consuming process. For example,the MAC Part 150 Update and 1996 DNL65 noise contour required a period of 18 months to generate and an additional period of 20 months to meet Federal Aviation Administration(FAA)approval and certification. Due to this lengthy approval process,the FAA does allow airports to utilize a certified DNL contour for a multiple year period,as long as there have been no significant changes to airport runways, capacity and land uses. While air traffic levels have changed at MSP since the 1996 DNL65 contour was approved by FAA in 1992,there have been no significant changes to the existing runway configurations and/or land uses that would have required the generation of a new contour under Section 103 of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act. However,based on this requirement,MAC does plan to generate a revised 2005 DNL60 contour that will incorporate the addition of a new north/south runway and additional air traffic assumptions. Although the draft 2005 DNL60 contour doesn't include your neighborhood in it's entirety, MAC plans to request to the FAA that the entire neighborhood be designated for Part 150 Sound Insulation Program. Based on past discussions,MAC is confident that this approach will be approved by the FAA in the next Part 150 Update submission process. 3 � The Metropolitan Airports Commission is an affirmative action employer. The issue of corridor compliance is a topic of great importance,not only to the communities surrounding Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport(MSP), but also to MAC, FAA Air Traffic Control (ATC)personnel and pilots. Corridor compliance is evaluated on a monthly basis and the findings are presented at the monthly Metropolitan Aircraft Sound Abatement Council (MASAC)meetings. The Eagan/Mendota Heights Corridor is defined by a 095 degree magnetic heading off Runway 12L,the Runway 30L localizer signal on the south and an area that extends to 3 miles from the end of the runways. This corridor is a vital component of the Runway Use System(RUS)with clearly identifiable north and south aircraft flight track boundaries, as depicted on attachment#1,page 1. The RUS attempts to route aircraft operations over the most compatible land use areas whenever possible. Compliance with corridor edge boundaries continues to be a challenge for both ATC personnel and pilots. Environmental factors, such as varying wind directions and intensities will cause aircraft to drift downwind, even with perfect pilot compliance with ATC heading instructions. We all recognize the impacts of corridor boundary transgressions and continue to work toward increased compliance. The monthly corridor reports show a high degree of corridor compliance relative to the existing corridor parameters. The April 1997 Corridor Penetration Analysis, our most current data due to FAA equipment changes, (attachment#1,page 5) depicts 448 (11.8%) of the total 3,796 Runway 12L and 12R carrier jet departure operations south of the Runway 30L localizer. To further analyze the southern edge of the corridor, 97.5% of all corridor operations are north of a line, 5 degrees south of the corridor(attachment#1, page8). Although this is not 100%compliance, it is a favorable figure, considering the dynamic issues of airspace management, wind and destination routing. To further assess your contention regarding operations forming a new southern boundary, we constructed another gate, 15 degrees south of the Runway 12R centerline. Findings revealed that only 3 departure operations penetrated this southern gate. Although corridor compliance is not 100%,the present degree of conformity is favorable and is the best current option. In an attempt to keep aircraft away from the southern boundary, ATC personnel routinely issue headings between 090 degrees and 105 degrees to aircraft departing Runway 12R during non-simultaneous conditions (attachment#1, page 14). This procedure places the aircraft in the center of the corridor until the 3 mile point,at which time they can proceed on course to the enroute structure. MASAC and MAC will continue to evaluate ways to increase compliance with the corridor boundaries and have included this item as one of MASAC's 1998 primary objectives. If you have further questions regarding the corridor,please contact Mr. Roy Fuhrmann, MAC Manager of Aviation Noise and Satellite Programs at 726-6326. 36 Sincerely, MJ�eeHamiel Executive Director 3 1459 Highview Ave Eagan MN 55121-1143 February 14, 1998 Jeffrey Hamiel Director Metropolitan Airports Commission 6040 28th Ave So. Minneapolis MN 55450 Dear Mr.Ha niel, On or just after August 16, 1997,you received a letter from Mr. Tom Monahan,of 2840 Highview Terr. Eagan, regarding the inequities in the application of the Part 150 Sound Insulation Program being visited upon the Valley View Plateau neighborhood which adjoins the south edge of the Lost Spur golf course in northwest Eagan. Your answer to Mr.Monahan,dated August 27, 1997,was circulated in the neighborhood in mid-December,along with a copy of a response/rebuttal letter by Mr.Monahan,dated for transmittal to you on or about December 15, past. As to your August 27 letter,the best that can be said for it is that it was fairly prompt. You wrapped yourself in the flag of"the federal government",and recited all of the boilerplate yah-dah yah-dah. Mr.Monahan had sent a well- outlined list of points in his letter of August 16,and your response ought to have taken them one-by-one. Instead,in what can now be described as a Clinton White House style of deflecting questions,you do a complete end-around, and attempt to silence criticism by argumentation from authority,towit, "Mom sez. . . ." I would hope that you will do a much more effective job of answering the points crafted by Mr. Monahan in his December 15 response to your August 27 letter. By'effective',I mean a paragraph by paragraph analysis of Mr. Monahan's December letter,rather than a few quotes from the scriptures according to St Faa. Your achilles heel is the noise contour in its various incarnations. By your own description, a noise contour is a computer-generated object,it is an estimated yearly average, containing all noise exposure assumptions x,y,z, a, e, etc.,etc.,etc. The key words,or chinks in your armor,here are'computer generated','estimated',and'assumptions'. Any computer-based model can be attacked on its program design characteristics,as well as the data fed into the model (the well-known GIGO or Garbage In,Garbage Out aphorism). The complete documentaton of the computerized model ought to be in the public domain or available under the Freedom of Information Act,including the general and detail program specifications,module descriptions,flow charts,and the high-level and low-level code, and a description of the computer hardware required to run it. Has it ever been analyzed by any experts outside the FAA??? As to Garbage In . . . . ,Mr Monahan's letter of December 15 correctly identifies that many of the parameters and assumptions about usage patterns,flight paths, etc are obsolete and anachronistic,i.e.,they do not correspond to the current reality,much less what is apt to occur. In other words,the data input is constantly shifting,and you insist on taking a snapshot-frozen-in-time as representing a valid and correct representation of noise conditions which are, by definition,dynamically variable and dependent on such whimsical vagaries as"We're gonna tear up half of runway 12L next year." Mr.Monahan closes his December IS letter with"We would appreciate you and your staff providing us answers to some(?)of the questions we have raised in this letter." As an affected resident,I second that,except I shall insist on "all"the questions. I&perchance,you may have created a response to Mr.Monahan,I would like a copy to examine how comprehensively(this time)you have responded to his each and every question and/or topic. cc: Sincerely, Tom Monahan Pierson Grieve Jon Hohenstein James J. ech Robert Olson,Esq 688-6354 Steven Vecchi .01 ��. �rnj•`�'�_�'— rt�y��`!��JC,,- -/� ';' (� d � �/i._'\\`� -..^saw 'v /^ \\ �/ - �\,_ -r�i �s ......------ -�-+ •n /l- -�\ -_ l ..\f! moi; ,l i /1' "r/ ate"BOG o 1 r f�/' r I J l♦\>,\ ♦;j Villi —�.

EXTENSION OF MAC SOUND INSULATION PROGRAM TO THE VALLEY VIEW PLATEAU NEIGHBORHOOD WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Airports Commission has implemented a sound insulation program for residential properties in proximity to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, and WHEREAS, the City of Eagan has cooperated with the MAC in the coordination of the program resulting in the insulation of approximately 160 homes in the City, and WHEREAS, the Valley View Plateau neighborhood in the City of Eagan is an area of 42 homes that lies between the currently eligible sound insulation project area and the airport, and WHEREAS, a variety of circumstances has resulted in the Valley View Plateau neighborhood not being included in the eligible area for the sound insulation program despite the fact that it is physically closer to the airport than areas that are eligible, it is uniquely exposed by its topography to noise from operations using the parallel runways and it experiences direct overflights due to corridor excursions that were not anticipated as assumptions in the eligibility contours, and WHEREAS, these facts are underscored by the consistent, actual exposure of the area to noise levels in excess of 65 DNL, as depicted by contour maps illustrating the impacts of current operations included in the environmental documentation for the airport expansion, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Eagan supports the request of the Valley View Plateau neighbors to be included in the MAC Sound Insulation Program, that appropriate findings and funding sources be identified and that consideration of their request be scheduled for a meeting of the Metropolitan Airports Commission. CITY OF EAGAN CITY COUNCIL By: -Its Mayor Attest: Its Clerk Motion made by: Seconded by: Those in favor: Those against: CERTIFICATION I, E.J.

E.J. VanOverbeke, City Clerk V Agenda Information Memo April 21, 1998 Eagan City Council Meeting G. RECOMMENDATION.AIRPORT RELATIONS COMMISSION. MINNEAPOLIS DEPARTURE PROCEDURE ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve a recommendation by the Airport Relations Commission to support the City of Minneapolis in its effort to secure a change in departure procedures northwest of the airport as presented. FACTS: • The City of Minneapolis has requested that the MAC endorse a procedural change to the Federal Aviation Administration which would reduce the concentration of traffic along runway center line for aircraft operating northwest of the airport. • Unlike Eagan and Mendota Heights,the City of Minneapolis does not have an area of compatible land use for aircraft operations and the best strategy on that case is to distribute traffic evenly along a series of flight paths. It has been demonstrated that the combination of both arrivals and a portion of departures along runway center line results in a disproportionate impact on that particular flight track. As a consequence, Minneapolis has requested that departures be given headings other than runway center line to accomplish better distribution of impacts. • This procedure appears to have no consequences for communities on other sides of the airport. The City of Minneapolis has requested support from other communities and the Airport Relations Commission, at its meeting of April 14th,recommended such action. BACKGROUND: • Description of procedure modification on pages _through METROPOLITAN AIRPORTS COMMISSION Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport 6040 - 28th Avenue South a Minneapolis, MIN 55450-2799 ? Phone (612) 726-8100 • Fax (612) 726-5296 ti<.gooa�5 The Following is an Excerpt from a Letter to the Federal Aviation Administration Requesting Implementation of the Minneapolis Straight-Out Procedure: The noise issue at the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport (MSP) is, and continues to be, a topic of great importance to the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC). In an effort to facilitate the safe and efficient operation of this airport, MAC has made a commitment to surrounding communities pledging the exploration and implementation of improved operational procedures, facilitating enhanced impact reduction whenever possible. Minneapolis is a community experiencing continuous impact from aircraft operations at MSP. Residents living in South Minneapolis, directly under the flight path of the extended center line of runways 30L & 30R, experience a great number of arrival and departure operations throughout the year. As a result of this impact MASAC investigated and developed a recommendation to minimize the aircraft noise impact these residents experience. Realizing that the nature of arrival operations are inflexible. MASAC proposed a method to disperse departure operations away from straight-out runway headings which would provide some relief for the people living directly under the extended runway center lines. The analysis conducted by HNTB was predicated on 5%of the departures off runway 30L and 14% of the departures off runway 3011 constituting straight-out operations which could be dispersed. A specific percent of heading assignment was also proposed. MASAC forwarded a recommendation of the proposed procedure to MAC's Planning and Environment Committee (P&E) for approval. On November 4, 1997 MAC's P&E Committee reviewed the MASAC proposal, approved it, and forwarded it to the Metropolitan Airports Commission's Full Commission, which approved MASAC's recommendation on November 20, 1997. We therefore request implementation of the following proposal as soon as possible: PROPOSAL When feasibility and workload permit: • Assign one of the proposed alternate departure headings for aircraft traditionally assigned runway heading when departing runway 30R. • Assign one of the proposed alternate departure headings for aircraft traditionally assigned runway heading when departing runway 30L. HNTB's analysis indicates implementation of this proposal will only result in a 0.9 DNL change within the 65 DNL contour and a 1.0 DNL change within the 60 DNL contour. Due to the minimal DNL change in any one location throughout the contour, the MAC full commission and surrounding communities The Metropolitan Airporu w.n...... ...._n affirmative action employer. anticipate the FAA will be able to expeditiously implement the above procedures with minimal consideration of the resultant impacts. Your early consideration of this proposal is appreciated. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please do not hesitate to contact Roy Fuhrmann,at 725-6326. Sincerely, METROPOLITAIN AIRPORTS COMMISSION Jeffery W. Hamiel Executive Director �13 Agenda Information Memo April 21, 1998 H. APPOINTMENT TO THE AIRPORT RELATIONS COMMISSION ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To confirm the appointment of the current alternate member,Nadim Zoberi,to a full member position and also appoint an alternate member to the Airport Relations Commission. FACTS: • At the April 7, 1998 City Council meeting,the City Council accepted the resignation of James Gallagher from the Airport Relations Commission. • At that time, it was suggested that the current alternate,Nadim Zoberi, be appointed to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Gallagher and individuals who had previously expressed an interest in serving on an advisory board or commission be contacted regarding the alternate vacancy. The appointment of the full member is for the remainder of a three year term. • Doug Pewowaruk was the only individual who expressed an interest in the alternate position. A copy of the application is attached for Council's consideration. • The term of the alternate position will expire on December 31, 1998.

FACTS: • On December 2, the City Council authorized the reconstruction of the streets within Wilderness Run 5th and 6th Additions and directed the preparation of detailed plans and specs. • On March 17, the Council approved these plans and authorized the advertisement for solicitation of competitive bids. At 10:30 a.m. on April 16, formal bids were received for this project. A copy of the bid tabulation is enclosed. • All bids have been reviewed for compliance with the bid specifications and accuracy on unit price extensions and arithmetic. The low bid from McNamara Contracting, Inc. has been reviewed by the Engineering Division and found to be in order for favorable Council action.

Out of seven bids received, the low bidder for the project was McNamara Contracting, Inc. A summary of the bids received is as follows: Contractor Base Bid l.) McNamara Contracting $272,005 2.) Vi-Con, Inc. $278,772 3.) Hardrives, Inc $290,715 4.) Valley Paving $291,620 5.)Northwest Asphalt $294,645 6.) Bituminous Roadways $296,325 7.)Ace Blacktop $379,528 The following summarizes the results of the low base bid versus the preliminary feasibility report estimates: Preliminary Low Report Base Bid Deviation Bituminous Street Overlay $222,900 $171,050 -23.3% Repair Concrete Curb&Gutter $117,590 $98,075 -16.6% Storm Sewer Improvements $1,210 N/A N/A Sanitary Sewer Improvements $2,245 $2,880 + Totals $343,945 $272,005 -20.9% Based on the bid prices, the estimated assessment for the residents is $494/lot($171,050 +30% indirect costs *50%/225 properties). This is a reduction of approximately $150 from the estimated assessment outlined in the preliminary report. Favorable bids for this project are likely due to the competitive bidding climate at this time of year. With their favorable bid received, it is recommended to award the contract to the low bidder, McNamara Contracting, Inc. of Apple Valley. McNamara has completed numerous similar projects within the City of Eagan in the past years. They have provided quality work on these past projects and have maintained a professional business relationship with the City. If the contract is awarded by the Council, the following construction schedule is anticipated: Begin Construction May 26, 1998 Substantial Completion July 17, 1998 Agenda Information Memo April 21, 1998 J PROJECT 695 YANKEE DOODLE RD—FINAL A SMT ROLL ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To receive the final assessment roll for Project 695 (Yankee Doodle Road — Road, Bridge, & Streetlight Improvements) and schedule a public hearing to be held on May 5, 1998. FACTS: • Project 695 provided for the widening of Yankee Doodle Road from Federal Drive to O'Leary Lane, including the I-35E bridge, Pilot Knob Road intersection, and new northbound ramp to I-35E. It was constructed under Contracts 96-10 and 96-11. • This project was precipitated by the development of the Promenade of Eagan retail center. As a condition of that development approval, the developer and owner were required to enter into an agreement with the City of Eagan obligating them to pay for their proportionate share of these improvement costs not to exceed a predetermined amount. Although the final costs have not been determined (contractor has filed for arbitration for additional claims), sufficient costs have been calculated to determine that the developer is obligated for his maximum predetermined amount. Therefore, it is appropriate to schedule the final assessment hearing to levy the assessments and begin the collection of this revenue. • A meeting will be held with the affected property owners prior to the final assessment hearing to address any questions or concerns they may have. Agenda Information Memo April 21, 1998 K PROJECT 732, OAK POND ROAD & OAK POND CIRCLE STREET & UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To receive the feasibility report for Project 732 (Oak Pond Road and Oak Pond Circle - Street and Utility Improvements) and schedule a public hearing to be held on May 5, 1998. FACTS: • On December 2, 1997, the City Council directed staff to prepare a feasibility report considering street and utility improvements within the Oak Pond Additions neighborhood and future sanitary sewer connection for the Lakewood Hills Addition. • The neighborhood includes Oak Pond Road, from Cliff Road to the west edge of the Fawn Ridge 2nd Addition, and Oak Pond Circle,the cul-de-sac intersecting this street. • The reconstructing of the streets within the Oak Pond I" and 2"d Additions is programmed for 1998 in the 1998-2002 5-Year CIP. • This feasibility report has been completed and is being presented to the City Council for their information and consideration of scheduling a public hearing to formally present and discuss the merits of this project. ATTACHMENTS • Feasibility Report, attached without page numbers. Agenda Information Memo April 21, 1998 L PROTECT 740, SILVER BELL ROAD STREET IMPROVEMENT ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To cancel the Feasibility Report for Project 740 (Silver Bell Road, TH 13 to Kennebec Drive- Street Improvements). FACTS: • The resurfacing of Silver Bell Road from Trunk Highway 13 to Kennebec Drive is programmed for 1998 in the 1998-2002 5-Year CIP. • The street provides access to commercial properties northeast of the interchange of T.H. 77 and T.H. 13. • The existing street consists of a full-depth bituminous section 8" in depth. The reconstruction of this street would require an extensive amount of work and time. With the reconstruction of State Highway 13 at the second access point for this commercial/industrial area scheduled for this summer, the proposed improvements on Silver Bell would make the area nearly inaccessible. • Reconstruction of the existing street section would not be cost effective at this time. The reconstruction would necessitate the removal and replacement of all of the existing concrete curb and gutter, which is in good condition. The initial street construction cost was significant and full reconstruction would reduce the value of the initial investment. • The Public Works Department could perform preparatory maintenance on the deficient portions of the current street section, as they have done prior to many of the overlay projects. A bituminous overlay of this small section of street could be completed as maintenance work to maximize the initial investment of the original street construction. • It would be appropriate for the City Council to cancel the Feasibility Report at this time. SO2, Agenda Information Memo April 21, 1998 M PROJECT 741,THOMAS LAKE OUTLET & PONDING EASEMENTS ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve Project 741 (Thomas Lake Outlet Modification & Ponding Easement Acquisition) authorize the preparation of detailed plans and acquisition of easements through Quick Take condemnation, if necessary. FACTS: • East Thomas Lake (BP-8) experienced high water elevations for long durations during the Summer of 1997 and again in the Spring of 1998. As a result, the City has received a claim for damages from one property owner and numerous complaints from others as well. • In the Fall of 1997, the City's consulting engineer completed an analysis of the East Thomas Lake drainage basin and recommended various improvements to minimize and mitigate future occurrences. One of these recommendations was the modification of the West Thomas Lake outlet control to maximize the outflow to use the available capacity of the downstream system (estimated cost is $50,000). • While researching this issue, it was discovered that the typical drainage and ponding easements for East Thomas Lake were not dedicated with the final plat approvals for the Wilderness Run 1st Addition and the ChesMar I" Addition. After reviewing the situation with the City's insurance carrier and attorney's office, it was recommended that the City proceed to acquire the necessary drainage and ponding easements to accommodate the design bounce for temporary storage of storm water runoff. • If the Council approves this project, the City staff will hold informational neighborhood meetings as well as discussion with individual property owners regarding easement acquisition.

Homeowners along the lake are again suffering damage because of the city pumping water from other lakes into East Thomas Lake. The water is now so high that several homes are in danger of serious flooding if we have a significant rain fall. The flooding poses a hazard to area children. In most spots the lake has a gradual shoreline. Since the pumping several yards have sharp drop-offs, including yards with toddlers. This high level of water is the result of action taken by the City of Eagan. This is a violation of the rights of property owners. It is further a violation of the many assurances residents have been given by the city that it will effectively manage the water level of Thomas Lake. We ask that the City of Eagan immediately stop pumping water into East Thomas Like. We expect the pumping will be halted by Tuesday, April 7. The residents need to know that forced flooding of their land by the City of Eagan will not be allowed in the future. We need a permanent resolution to this unacceptable situation.

VAN OVERBEKE City Clerk Dear Property Owners, On April 7, your Association forwarded a letter to several officials at the City of Eagan expressing your concern over the water level of East Thomas Lake and requested a response as to what the City could do. Although I've spoken to some of you personally on several occasions, I wanted to formally acknowledge receipt of your letter and provide you with some information. COMPREHENSIVE PLAT The City of Eagan has a Comprehensive Storm Water Management Plan that was first developed in 1965 when Eagan was a Township and just beginning to develop. It has been revised and updated in 1972, 1978, 1984 and 1990. We are planning on performing another update this year. During this growth phase of Eagan, more and more of the land was developed resulting in more runoff from every rainfall and snowmelt event. Also, more ponds continued to be connected to the system according to this comprehensive plan. The City of Eagan encompasses approximately 32 square miles and does not have any creeks, rivers or streams. There are approximately 430 lakes and ponds and another 770+ wetlands within 12 major drainage basins that are interconnected with a complex labyrinth of sewer pipes that flow by gravity or mechanical pumps from pond to pond eventually discharging into the Minnesota River. East Thomas Lake is located in Basin "B" and is referenced as Pond 8. It has a controlled water elevation of 905.2 feet (above sea level) maintained by a culvert under Pilot Knob Road that flows into West Thomas Lake which is controlled at a lower elevation of 904.2 feet. Because the flow out of all ponds and lakes is limited by the capacity of the pipe or pump size, high intensity or successive rainfall events can result in more runoff into these drainage basins than can be discharged downstream. The water levels then rise to temporarily store the excess volumes until they can drain out through the entire system. The City has calculated what the maximum water level would predictably be based on an assumed rainfall event that would be expected to occur only 1% of the time (commonly referred to as the 100 year event).

This 2.8 foot bounce in elevation would expand the surface area size from approximately 9.8 to 10.8 acres. It receives runoff from 86 acres of direct overland drainage and another 682 acres of upstream drainage basins through the City's storm sewer system. In comparison, West Thomas Lake incorporates 50 acres of surface area and receives drainage from 3200 acres of land. As West Thomas Lake fills up to an elevation of 905.2, it then floods back into East Thomas Lake through the Pilot Knob culvert. Therefore, East Thomas Lake can only drain down as fast as West Thomas Lake which takes considerably longer due to its size and drainage basin. WATER LEVEL HISTORY As you are already aware, the East Thomas Lake water levels have fluctuated throughout the year, every year. Last year however, the water remained at a higher elevation for a longer period than would have normally been expected. This was primarily the result of both high intensity and successive rainfall events that began in July and lasted into August. July alone had a total of 12.6 inches compared to an average of 3.6 inches. The highest elevation recorded last year was 907.37 on July 25`h 1997. On April 7, 1998 the elevation was 907.26 as a result of a very wet Spring with a rainfall total of 3.3 inches from March 27-31 (total monthly avg. = 1.59"). Another 0.9 inches fell from April 1-7. On April 7, the Public Works Department temporarily modified the outlet from West Thomas Lake to maximize the outflow capacity. On April 13, the water level was recorded at 905.33 feet. PLAT & EASEMENT HISTORY The Wilderness Run l' Addition was originally platted in 1971 and the Ches Mar ls` Addition was platted in 1976. Copies of those plats are enclosed for your information. As can be seen, the majority of East Thomas Lake lies within Outlots A and B which were dedicated to the City of Eagan. East Thomas Lake also incorporates a portion of each of the riparian residential lots. Apparently, there were no drainage or ponding easements dedicated with these plats. However, East Thomas Lake is classified as a Public Water Body (161W) by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and on May 20,1976 they established a "Normal Ordinary High Water" (NOHW) elevation of 905.4 feet. 20�0 � RECONINIENDED ACTIONS As a result of the problems experienced last Summer and again this Spring, we have commissioned a study that recommends various modifications to the City's system that will hopefully minimize the extent and duration of future lake level fluctuations. Two of these incorporate the permanent modification to the outlet for West Thomas Lake and retaining more water upstream for longer periods of time. We will also be proposing that the City proceed with acquiring the necessary drainage and ponding easements from all affected properties adjacent to East Thomas Lake. The extent of the easement acquisition is shown on the enclosed sketch. Compensation would be provided at a fair market value determined by a certified appraiser hired by the City Attorney's Office. We hope to receive authorization to proceed with these actions at the April 21St City Council meeting. SUMMARY We want to assure you that the City is aware of your concerns and will be addressing them with diligence. The Public Works Department is constantly monitoring your water elevations and the storm drainage system operations. We are willing to respond to your question and concerns either individually or collectively. Please feel free to contact either me or City Engineer Russ Matthys. We look forward to working with you on these issues. Sincerely, A� Thomas A. Colbert, P.E. Director of Public Works Enc.

FACTS: • The first Comprehensive Storm Water Drainage Plan was created in 1965 and was subsequently updated in 1972, 1978, 1984 and 1990. Each update reflected the growth of the previous 6-8 years and refined the projected needs of the community for the next 6-8 years. With the most recent update having been completed in 1990 and with the community approximately 85% developed, it is anticipated that this next update may very well be the last one needed for the community. • The first Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan was prepared in 1965 with subsequent updates in 1976, 1982, and 1988. The Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan for the City of Eagan is being prepared during 1998. The Metropolitan Council requires that this guide plan contain a sanitary sewer element. In order to make this sewer element current with the Comprehensive Guide Plan update, it is appropriate that the Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan be concurrently updated. With approximately 85% of the City developed and 95% of the trunk system completed, it is anticipated that this will be the last update required for this particular utility. • The firm of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates has performed every update for both plans in addition to the first comprehensive plans in 1965. Based on a combination of their records, knowledge, and software programs, it would be most efficient to retain this firm to perform the anticipated last update to these essential comprehensive utility plans. 6-� Agenda Information Memo April 21, 1998 Eagan City Council Meeting O.

FACTS: • At its regular meeting of May 15, 1995, the City Council approved the Preliminary Planned Development and Preliminary Subdivision. Since that time, OCB Realty has been granted extensions in 1996 and 1997. • At its regular meeting in February 3, 1998, the City Council approved the Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment and Rezoning for a 1.5 acre parcel that was part of an exchange with the Lost Spur Country Club as part of the storm sewer easement agreement. This was preparatory work for proceeding with the development of Lot 1, Eagan Woods Office Park 2nd Addition. • A representative of OCB Realty Company has informed the City that they are in the process of determining exactly when and how to proceed with the development of Lot 1, however, it is unlikely that the submittal will be made by the May 15, 1998 expiration date of the preliminary approvals.

OCB Realty Company was granted a one year extension of the Preliminary Subdivision Plat at the City Council Meeting on April 2, 1996. OCB Realty Company was granted an additional one year extension on Preliminary- Subdivision Plat by the City Council on April 1, 1997 OCB Realty Company was granted a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment and Rezoning of the Waiver of Subdivision parcel (the 1.513 acre parcel at the southeast corner of the Eagan Woods Office Park 2nd Addition that was exchanged for what was Outlot A to Lost Spur in exchange for the storm sewer easement across Lost Spur) by the City Council on February 3, 1998. This was preparatory work for proceeding with the development of Lot 1. OCB Realty Company is in the process of determining when and how to proceed with the development of Lot 1, but it is unlikely that the submittal would be by May 15, 1998. On behalf of OCB Realty Company, I am formally requesting that the City of Eagan City Council grant a one-year extension for submittal of the Final Subdivision Plat for Eagan Woods Office Park 2nd Addition.

MUNICIPAL STATE AID DESIGNATION BLUEWATER DRIVE ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To order a resolution requesting the Commissioner of Transportation's approval of Municipal State Aid (MSA) street designation for the proposed Bluewater Drive. FACTS: • As the City of Eagan continues to grow and adds additional miles to the public street system each year, the opportunity to add additional portions of the street system to the Municipal State Aid system also grows. • The MSA designation of a street enables construction and maintenance of the street to be financed by the city's portion of the gas tax money distributed by the state. • The miles available for MSA designation are recalculated each year. Due to the construction of new streets in 1997, calculations indicate that there should be 0.56 additional miles available for designation. • Bluewater Drive does not currently exist. Bluewater Drive is proposed to be a part of the development of the Highway 55, Highway 149, and Blue Gentian Road area (Grand Oak Business Park). The proposed street is estimated to be approximately 0.36 miles in length. ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Street Graphic,page .

In 1989, a Pavement Management System was developed that assisted the City in evaluating the condition of the existing pavement surface for all the streets and schedule timely maintenance. A Five Year Capital Improvement Program for street rehabilitation is developed with this information. The streets in the McKee Addition have been identified for street reconstruction improvements in 1998. Exhibit 1 illustrates the project location. The streets have been included in the City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) since 1992. The streets in the McKee Addition were constructed in 1968, to a width of 29 feet (face of curb to face of curb), with the exception of First Street, which was constructed to a substandard width of 19 feet (face of curb to face of curb). All of the streets presently have mountable bituminous curb and are classified as residential streets. These streets have been rated several times since 1989, and the field data gathered indicates which maintenance strategies are appropriate and cost effective. The expected life cycle of a street constructed during this period is 18 to 25 years. Scope Reconstruction of the streets in this development, which are presently approaching 30 years of age, will include an upgrade to the City's Standard concrete curb and gutter and removal and replacement of the entire street section. Due to right of way and topographic restrictions, First Street will be widened, but only to 24 feet (face of curb to face of curb.) A-EAGAN9803.00 Page 1 This project provides for reconstruction of 1,100 L.F. of Kenneth Street, 1,100 L.F. of Beatrice Street, 1,100 L.F. of McKee Street, and 940 L.F. of Keefe Street, all from Lexington Avenue to First Street, and 973 L.F. of First Street from McKee Street to Kenneth Street, for a total of 5,213 L.F (0.99 miles). Exhibits 2, 3, and 4 illustrate the project area. Because they are substandard streets providing only private access to the adjacent lot, it is proposed that 180 L.F. of First Street from Kenneth Street to the north and 150 L.F. of First Street from Keefe Street to the south be overlayed with 1'/z inches of bituminous and vacated to the adjacent property owners. Drainage and utility easements would be maintained in these areas. Also included are repairs and modifications to the existing storm sewer system, as well as the addition of storm sewer at the east ends of Kenneth Street and Beatrice Street to improve storm drainage within the project area. Valley gutters would be added at the intersection of McKee Street and First Street and at the intersection of Beatrice Street and First Street. Repairs to a section of 9-inch Vitrified Clay Pipe (VCP) sanitary sewer located in the boulevard on the east side of Lexington Avenue, south of Keefe Street, will also be included in this project. Feasibility and Recommendations This project is necessary due to the age, substandard design and resulting deteriorated condition of the streets within this development. The project will provide an improved driving surface, reduced maintenance and improved drainage. This project is cost effective in that reconstructing and upgrading the project streets will result in a considerable reduction in overall maintenance costs and will add value to the overall neighborhood as well as individual properties. This project is feasible from an engineering standpoint in that the project streets have exceeded their normal life cycle, and normal maintenance measures are no longer a practical or effective alternative. This project is in accordance with the Five Year Capital Improvement Program (1998-2002), for the City of Eagan in accordance with the Pavement Management System. It is recommended that the project be constructed as proposed in this report as one contract. McKee Addition A-EAGAN9803.00 City of Eagan, Minnesota /D D Page 2 Street Evaluation The Pavement Management System allows the City of Eagan to evaluate the condition of the existing street surface to schedule timely maintenance and improvements. The Pavement Condition Index (PCI) ranks the surface condition for each street. The general categories which define PCI rankings are as follows: PCI Recommended Improvements 56-100 Routine Maintenance/Crack Seal/Seal Coat 36-55 Patch/Repair and/or Overlay 0-35 Reconstruct The 1996 PCI ranking for the streets discussed in this report have an average pavement condition rating of 30 and fall within the rankings of the "Reconstruct" category. Proposed Improvements The proposed street section for Kenneth Street, Beatrice Street, McKee Street, and Keefe Street is shown on Exhibit 5. The proposed street section for First Street is shown on Exhibit 6. The existing bituminous surface and gravel base will be removed and hauled offsite. Test holes on all of the project streets indicated a very inconsistent aggregate base section thickness. Therefore, it would not be cost effective to attempt to salvage and re-use that material. The street subgrade will be established at a sufficient depth to allow for the construction of B-618 concrete curb and gutter, and a new aggregate base and bituminous street section. Positive drainage of the existing front yards and driveways to the streets will also be provided. Sanitary sewer manhole castings and water main valve box adjustments are also required. Sanitary sewer manhole castings and covers not meeting the City's current standards will be upgraded. Four(4) curb stops on water services which are inoperable will be excavated and repaired or replaced. Existing storm drainage structures on Keefe Street and McKee Street will be repaired and adjusted as necessary to fit the new curb and gutter. In addition, storm sewer will be added to the east ends of Kenneth Street and Beatrice Street to improve storm drainage within the project area. Valley gutters will be added at the intersection of McKee Street and First Street and at the intersection of Beatrice Street and First Street to improve McKee Addition A-EAGAN9803.00 City of Eagan, Minnesota /`/ Page 3 drainage. A section of 12-inch Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP) storm sewer located in the easement between Lots 7 and 8, Block 2, south of Keefe Street, will be excavated and repaired following, removal of a large maple tree. This section of pipe has plugged several times in the past due to heavy root growth through the joints and into the pipe. A section of 9-inch Vitrified Clay Pipe (VCP) sanitary sewer located in the boulevard along the east side of Lexington Avenue approximately 500 feet south of Keefe Street will also be excavated and repaired as part of this project. Easements / Permits All work will be within the public right of way and/or existing drainage and utility easements. No additional easements will be necessary. It is anticipated that no permits will be required for the reconstruction project. Cost Estimate Detailed cost estimates are located in Appendix A. The estimates are based on anticipated 1998 construction costs and include a 10 percent contingency and indirect costs of 30 percent which include legal, administration, engineering, and bond interest.

The City's Assessment Policy states that 75 percent of the costs for reconstruction of local residential streets to City standards are assessable to residential properties. Lexington Park is proposed to be assessed at the rate for 5-lot equivalents in addition to the residential properties. McKee Addition A-EAGAN9803.00 City of Eagan, Minnesota � Page 5 J Per the assessment policy, the estimated cost per lot to be assessed for properties having primary access from McKee Street, Keefe Street, Kenneth Street, Beatrice Street, and First Street (98 lots plus 5 lots Park) would be $3,481.75 per lot. Preliminary appraisals have been obtained that indicate the amount of benefit to be $2.500 per lot. Assessments will be capped by the appraised benefit. Commercial Property Commercial properties adjacent to the east side of First Street have 850 feet of frontage. One hundred percent (100%) of the portion of street reconstruction and concrete curb and gutter costs that are attributable to these properties would be assessable in accordance with the Assessment Policy. Neither of the two properties take access off of First Street, nor have they in the past. It is questionable that benefit for these properties can be established at the proposed commercial assessment rate of$44.13 per front foot. Preliminary appraisals have been obtained and indicate that the commercial properties should be assessed in a method equal to the residential properties, or S2,500 per lot equivalent. The two commercial properties have 11 lot equivalents. Assessments will be capped by the appraised benefit. Assessment Financing Options The property owner will have the option at the time of the assessment hearing to pay the full or a portion of the assessment or include the assessment in with their property tax statement. If the assessment is included with the property tax statement, the assessment will be spread over 15 years with the interest rate determined by the results of the bond sale used to finance the improvements. The following payment schedule would result based on a 7 percent interest rate for the assessed amounts: Principal Interest Cost Per Year I Per Year Per Year Residential Lot in McKee Addition=$2,500.00 First Year $167 $189 5356 Fifteenth Year $167 �,I I S 178 McKee Addition A-EAGAN9803.00 City of Eagan, Minnesota /` Page 6 Revenue Source A summary of revenue sources is listed below: Project Property City Cost Assessment Contribution Aggregate Base.

Agenda Information Memo April 21, 1998 Eagan City Council Meeting A. AQUATIC FACILITY ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To receive additional public comment on the family aquatic facility. FACTS: • The City Administrator has been contacted by several residents living in the Denmark and Deerwood areas expressing concerns regarding the planned family aquatic facility location. Subsequently,two letters were also received in this regard. • The City has also been informed that a meeting was held on Thursday, April 16, hosted by residents of the area for their neighbors. • A number of the concerns raised by the neighbors were subjects of the community information meetings held on March 4 and March 10. Information concerning the facility and decision process was reported in the local media and the City newsletter. • The City Council previously considered the following rationale for selection of the municipal center site for the family aquatic facility: • Property was purchased with the intent that the site would host municipal operations. • Central location to the City's population base. • Transportation corridors feed the site equally from each direction. • The synergy of like facilities on one campus: civic arena, city hall, police and library. • Administration of the facility is enhanced being closer to the Parks&Recreation Department. • Potential for sharing maintenance staff with city hall and civic arena for operations. • Municipal Center Campus becomes"one stop" for multiple public functions. • Existing trail system ties to site for walkers and bikers. • Shared facilities for parking. • Size of the parcel and its ability to support the facility. • The consulting planner, Greg Ingraham, noted the suitability of the site because of south facing slopes and general topography. The pool consultants confirmed this during the concept planning phase. • Granular soil conditions on site, which are essential for a pool. C7� Agenda Information Memo April 21, 1998 Eagan City Council Meeting • During February/March, the feasibility report prepared by Water Technology, Inc. was reviewed at Special City Council work sessions, informational meetings and the March 17 regular City Council meeting. A copy of these reports are again forwarded for your review and reference. Staff will be available to answer questions.

Eagan, MN 55122 Dear Mayor Tom Egan: My husband and I have been residents of Eagan for approximately 12 years. We enjoy our residency at 3867 Windcrest Court. We are disappointed to hear the city is planning to build a 7- acre outdoor water park behind the library. It would accommodate 1200 users at a time and up to 3,000 users if both parts of the plan are approved. We are requesting the City of Eagan to reject the Eagan Aquatic Facility in its proposed location. To our understanding this is not a"city pool"but rather a commercial-class aquatic amusement park. Why are you building this facility in our backyard? Why not relocate this facility to a more appropriate site, where there will be less impact on nearby neighborhoods, the Library and natural resources? The aquatic facility is a great idea for the city of Eagan, but at a more suitable site for expansion. The following is a list of concerns: 1. Property value decreasing. Currently 6 homeowners are selling around our home; this has already has been an impact to our neighborhood. 2. Too close to residential area. 3. No privacy. 4. Noise and traffic increasing. A great increase of traffic and parking on Pilot Knob. Increase of traffic on Wescott Avenue. Will stop lights be installed on Wescott and Denmark street crossing? 5. Noise level from the pool area will affect our neighborhood. 6. Loss of wildlife and pond area. 7. Library atmosphere will suffer due to noise. 8. Do you anticipate this facility outgrowing itself in 2-3 years with nearby communities using this facility? Why not built on a more appropriate site where expansion is a possibility without an overcrowding affect. Please hear our concerns on this project Sincerely yours Linda Deerin Cc: City Administrator- Tom Hedges; Council Members - Pat Awada, Bea Blomquist, Sandra Masin, Theodore Wachter A;)6 April 10 , 1998 The Honorable Tom Egan 3830 Pilot Knob Rd. Eagan, MN 55122-1897 Dear Mayor Egan: When articles first appeared about plans for a pool and amphitheater and then that the Council was expected to authorize the study for a water park at the December 16 meeting, there was no notice inviting citizen participation in the choice of a plan or the location. It is possible that residents didn ' t even receive newspapers or notification by the city about the site-selection process or plans. Who is representing the concerns and has responsibility to all Eagan residents? I respectfully request that you reconsider the proposed site and plan and do not give approval to build the water park at the location behind the Wescott Library and within close proximity to all Windcrest residents. It is a very poor choice of location, near a very busy intersection with emergency vehicles and traffic, which will bring 2 ,000-3 ,000 children and others a day and hundreds of automobiles , creating traffic congestion and hazards, noise and pollution and crowds disturbing the peace of the Wescott Library and nearby residents. The large blue slide in St. Louis Park is visible from nearby roads and build- ings , and one built at that Eagan site would surely detract from the surrounding areas. How would you like the huge towering structure, noise and traffic next to your homes? I invite you to walk through our neighborhood in Windcrest and envision our present well -maintained homes in summer, with gardens and the pleasant surroundings and peaceful setting. We are tax-paying and conscientious Eagan citizens who bought and built our homes here when there were trees and open space away from noise and congestion of heavy traffic and commercial business. We have had no voice in any preliminary discussion of plans, and the proposed pool at that site would create an unsightly o bje ct, parking lots, greatly increased traffic through our quiet neighborhood and noise from crowds. I urge you to view the Edina Aquatic Center, which is located in a park - Cornelia Park - 4300 W. 66 St . , or the Richfield Pool in a large park/open area at 630 E. 66 St . According to the new 1998 map of Eagan, there are numerous parks, and the proposed water park should be located in a park, such as Thomas Lake Park, where there is space better suited for the pool and slide and crowds . My neighbors and I are opposed to building the water park at the proposed site, as well as any amphitheater, and we believe that the mayor and council members have. a responsibility to all citizens. If the water park is wanted in Eagan , it belongs in a park. ,5.incer ly, V _ J. L. Seashore 1254 Deercliff Ln. /� THE PROPOSED AQUATIC CENTER WILL AFFECT THE WESCOTT LIBRARY The City of Eagan Plans to Build a Commercial-Class Outdoor Water Facility, With a Capacity for 2,000 - 3,000 Users, 100 Feet Behind the Library. Concerns: The noise from the 2,000+ users will disrupt the quiet atmosphere of the library. Only 300 parking spaces are planned for this facility, which will create a parking problem. Traffic along Pilot Knob Road and Wescott Road will increase dramatically. The facility has been estimated to cost 7.1 million dollars and the projected net profit is only $153,000 - $262,000 per year. There will be a fee charged to use this facility. Unlike the current wadding pool, which will be removed to make room for parking, this facility will not be free. This facility will erase approximately seven acres of wildlife habitat that is near a pond. The pubic will not have the opportunity to vote on this project. Because many people are not aware of the size and exact location of this facility, the City Council has not heard much opposition to the planned aquatic center. The Council needs to hear from you if you are opposed to this location. Tell the City's officials that the area behind the Wescott Library is not an appropriate site for this facility. The City Council will decide May 5h whether or not to build this aquatic center behind the Library. If they decide to proceed with this project, construction would likely begin this summer.

FACTS • Town and Country Homes entered development agreements with the City of Eagan for the construction of Project 95-LL (Eagan Heights Addition) and Project 96-A (Eagan Heights Townhomes 2nd Addition). • On November 3, 1997, the City Council granted Town and Country Homes an extension of time for the completion of the bituminous wear course for the Eagan Heights Addition. The original completion date of July 15, 1997, was extended to June 30, 1998. • City Staff has received a request from Bill Anner, Vice President of Land Development, Town and Country Homes to extend the dates for the completion of the bituminous wear course for both the 1St and 2nd Additions to June 30, 1999. The original completion date for the 2nd Addition is December 31, 1998. • All of the streets within the Eagan Heights Townhomes Additions are private streets.

Our modified agreement for Eagan Heights Addition calls for the final wear course and completion of Creekside Court by June 30, 1998. Our agreement for Eagan Heights Townhomes 2nd Addition calls for the wear course to be completed by December 31, 1998. Town and Country would like to modify this arrangement in the following way. We would complete the final wear course for all but Creekside Court for Eagan Heights Addition by June 30, 1998. We would complete Creekside Court(including final wear course)and all of Eagan Heights Townhomes 2nd Addition by June 30, 1999. Of course, all financial guarantees would be extended as well. There are a number of reasons we would like to modiA,the schedule. Our request for the delay of Creekside Court is based on the fact that we will lose customer parking spaces (eight of our current spaces are of a temporary nature) and the construction of the street will require modifications to our sales center,not to mention impede potential sales traffic for up to three weeks. As for the delay on Eagan Heights Townhomes 2nd Addition, it is Town& Country's intention to complete the building construction on this project by December 31, 1999. If we are also required to put down the wear course by this date we will have to do so approximately October 15, 1998. This will be the busiest time of the year from a construction vehicle standpoint.. By making the change suggested above,both the City of Eagan and Town& Country will benefit. The wear course will be completed after the great majority of the construction traffic has ceased,reducing costly repairs for both the City and Town& Country. Please feel free to contact me for any questions or thoughts you may have on this matter.

REZONING AND PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION—ROYAL OAKS ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: > To approve or deny a Rezoning from A(Agricultural) to R-1 (Single Family) on 18 acres located on the east side of Wescott Hills Drive, south of Yankee Doodle Road in the NE '/4 of Section 14. > To approve or deny a Preliminary Subdivision (Royal Oaks) consisting of 38 lots for single family development on 21.4 acres currently platted as Lots 1 and 2, Block 3 Wescott Garden Lots and Outlot A, Thorpe Woodland Gardens, located in the NE '/4 of Section 14, subject to the conditions recommended by the Advisory Planning Commission. FACTS: > Of the 21.4 acres in the proposed subdivision, 3.4 are currently zoned R-1. The remaining 18 acres are currently zoned Agricultural and will need to be rezoned to R-1. The requested R-1 zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Guide Plan which designates this property for D-I Single Family(0-3 units per acre). > The proposed Royal Oaks subdivision consists of 38 lots ranging in size from 40,936 s.f. to 12,919 s.f. with an average lot size of 21,445. All lots meet or exceed code requirements for lot size and width and can be developed without setback variances. > A petition signed by 144 property owners and residents of the surrounding neighborhood was submitted at the APC meeting. The petition states opposition to connection of the north and south segments of Wescott Hills Drive and will be available for review at the meeting. Several letters from residents are attached to this memo. (Note: A letter from a resident supporting the connection is attached to the staff report) > At their regular meeting on March 24, 1998, the Advisory Planning Commission recommended approval of the Rezoning and Preliminary Subdivision with modifications to some conditions as listed in the staff report. Specifically, they recommended deletion of conditions#6 and 7 and removal of lot#27 from condition# 17. It was further noted that the developer has already submitted the petition referenced in condition#10 (listed as condition#8 in the minutes). ISSUES: Following are the main issues raised by the developer and residents at the public hearing: 131 • Rezoning and Preliminary Subdivision contingent on Wescott Hills Drive connection - The developer's primary objection to this was making approval of the rezoning and subdivision contingent on the roadway improvement and through connection. Staff notes that action on the proposed rezoning and preliminary subdivision is not contingent on resolving the connection issue. The appropriate time to address the connection would be at the public hearing for the street improvement, if condition#8 (changed to#6 in APC minutes) is applied by the Council. • Roadway connections - The staff report notes that it is the City's general policy to encourage neighborhood connections where feasible. Neighborhood through connections provide access alternatives which foster maximum traffic movement flexibility and minimize congestion. They also provide public safety advantages by allowing the shortest(quickest)route for response calls and provide more than one way in and out of a neighborhood in case the primary access is blocked. The feasibility of two connections should be considered with this subdivision. 1. Connection of Shade Tree Court to Trails End Road—The primary objection to this connection was that the developer suggested that if it was required,the "character"of the Royal Oaks development would change as higher-end builders would not find the location as attractive. Residents of Great Oaks and Trails End Court also expressed objections to the connection. The APC recommended deleting this connection requirement from the approval conditions. The staff report notes that this connection is the only remaining feasible means to create an east-west through street in this area. The report also notes that providing an internal street connection from Trails End Rd. to Wescott Hills Dr. is consistent with a previously approved Concept Site Plan for the area. The Concept Plan is attached to the staff report. The Police Dept. did not think this connection was necessary to improve response time and indicated that the area has experienced problems due to tenants in the Wescott Commons area. The Fire Dept. indicated that they prefer through streets to cul-de-sacs but either is workable. If the connection is not deemed feasible, a variance will be required to allow the proposed 1,100 foot long Shade Tree Court cul-de-sac which is 600 feet longer than the 500 foot maximum length stated in the City Code. 2. Connection of north (uniMroved) segment of Wescott Hills Drive with south (improved) segment—As noted above, several area residents expressed concerns and opposition to the through connection of Wescott Hills Drive. The primary concerns stated include: increased commercial through traffic (e.g. West Publishing), additional costs associated with street improvements, creation of a thorough-fare to the schools, and decreased safety due to increased through traffic in general. No objections were made to improving (paving, etc.)the north segment. The attached memo from Tom Colbert further addresses this issue. 13 �- If the connection is not made, the north segment of Wescott Hills Drive will become a 2,600 foot long cul-de-sac, making it the longest in the City. A variance would have to be granted to allow such a cul-de-sac. • Water main connection— The staff report addressed the need for the construction of a trunk water main loop through the proposed development(condition#6 in the staff report). The developer objected to that condition. Their main objections were to the over-sizing and more circuitous, longer loop length requested by the City. Some APC members agreed that the City should cover costs of over-sizing. It was noted that the City would pay for over-sizing if it were a public improvement project and the over-sizing cost could be determined through competitive bidding. The longer, more circuitous loop requirement is due in part to the piecemeal development process that has occurred in this area. The alternative would require the 16"water main to be constructed through a heavily wooded steep backyard area of the adjacent parcel to the south. Drainage of Wild Rose Court—The staff report addressed the need to redirect the street drainage of Wild Rose Court to the east (condition#4). The developer did not object to that condition at the public hearing. However, since then, the City received letters from adjacent property owners stating their desire that condition#4 be removed. These letters are attached.

As proposed, the Preliminary Subdivision would include a Variance to allow a 1,100 foot cul-de-sac rather than 500 feet as allowed by Code. Planner Farnham introduced this item. Ms. Farnham highlighted the information presented in City staffs planning report dated March 19, 1998. Ms. Farnham noted the background and history, the surrounding uses and the existing conditions of the subject property. Ms. Farnham highlighted the applicant's request to vacate and existing connection between Wescott Hills Drive and Trails End Road and further noted that the City Council would be considering upgrading Wescott Hills Drive to urban standards and that the City's consideration would include the connection of Wescott Hills Drive with the existing portion of Wescott Hills Drive within the Sunrise Hills Addition to the south. Mike Black on behalf of the applicant Royal Oaks Realty, Inc., noted the cooperation that he has received in working with City staff and found that the process was laid out well. Mr. Black focused his discussion upon the conditions associated with preliminary subdivision approval and in particular Condition Nos. 6, 7 and 8. As to Condition 6, Mr. Black felt that it was unnecessary and an undue burden upon the developer to extend the 16-inch water main through the proposed subdivision when the easement for the pipe had previously been dedicated across properties south of the subdivision and the request under the condition required the trunk to be extended twice the length otherwise needed. In addressing Condition No. 7, Mr. Black suggested that the proposed development would be significantly altered if Shade Tree Court was connected to Trails End Road due to the anticipated market. Mr. Black expressed his position that the applicant's proposed subdivision was consistent with development in the area and that he did not feel there was any traffic or public safety issues associated with requiring a through street. With respect to Condition No. 8, Mr. Black questioned the legality of the condition and questioned that since the Council had already decided to upgrade Wescott Hills Drive in 1999, why was it necessary that the improvement had to occur prior to a final plat approval for the applicant's subdivision. 1311 Page .� Pa e 3 -, March 24, 1998 _ ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION U Mr. Black also summarized his concern that with respect to Condition No. 11, he would like to meet with City staff on the calculation of the storm water quality requirements, he also stated that the imposition of a 30-foot buffer around wetlands should be by ordinance though the developer agreed to the buffer, that Lot 27 should be deleted from the individual lot tree preservation requirements under Condition No. 17 and finally, that the applicant wished to reserve the right to review the financial obligations as depicted on the last page of the planning report. A resident of Trails End Road adjacent to the proposed subdivision objected to the connection of Trails End Road to Wescott Hills Drive due to traffic and cost issues. The resident expressed her concern over the connection of the storm sewer and water from the proposed subdivision to the utilities in Trails End Road so that she would not be disrupted in accessing her property. Several residents from Sunrise development spoke in opposition to the connection of Wescott Hills Drive on the north with the existing Wescott Hills Drive in their neighborhood. Upon an inquiry from Chair Heyl, a majority of the people in attendance were there in opposition to the north/south connection of Wescott Hills Drive. Assistant Engineer Gorder explained that the connection is to provide for an inter-connection of neighborhoods and to provide alternative traffic flows throughout the area. Consistent with City policy, the proposed connection would be analyzed and forwarded to the City Council for Council decision. Additional residents spoke in opposition to the north/south connection of Wescott Hills Drive citing increased traffic and cost to value of homeowners property. Ken Greene, the developer of Verdant Acres spoke in support of the proposal and expressed that he had dedicated a 20-foot easement along the north edge of his property to provide for the extension of the 16-inch watermain to Wescott Hills Drive and believed that that was its best location for installation. He also suggested that access to Lots 20 and 21, Block 1, should be provided through Verdant Acres and that access to Lots 19 and 22, Block 1, should be provided from Shade Tree Court. A resident of Wescott Hills Drive expressed his support of the proposal and the upgrade of Wescott Hills Drive so long as any additional right-of-way necessary to upgrade Wescott Hills Drive would be borne equally by the properties to either side of the road. Commission Chair Heyl closed the public hearing. 3s Page 4 March 24, 1998 —7 ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION L << In response to a question from Chair Heyl, Assistant Engineer Gorder addressed the extension of the 16-inch watermain and that the benefits that would be derived from the proposed subdivision. Additionally, Mr. Gorder explained that the upgrade of Wescott Hills Drive should be approved, but not necessarily constructed prior to the approval of the final plat for the subdivision. Several members expressed their opinion that there should be an improved access for the 38-lot subdivision. In response to an inquiry regarding the north/south connection of Wescott Hills Drive, Assistant Engineer Gorder explained that without the connection the north portion of Wescott Hills Drive would exist as a cul-de-sac in excess of 2,600 feet, far exceeding any approved cul-de-sac within the City. Senior Planner Ridley highlighted the fact that the north/south connection of Wescott Hills Drive is not a part of the applicant's subdivision request nor is it a condition to the development. Member Frank expressed his agreement that the road should be split 50% on each side of the centerline during the upgrade of Wescott Hills Drive. Member Frank further stated that if the City wants to extend the 16-inch watermain through the subdivision, it should pay for the oversizing and the distance required beyond what is within the subdivision. Member Frank further stated that he had no concerns with the creation of a cul-de-sac within the subdivision to eliminate the connection between Wescott Hills Drive and Trails End Road. Other Members of the Commission expressed their agreement. Member Carlson suggested that the cul-de-sac may be advantageous if the developer could save trees by eliminating the through street. Chair Hey] noted there are several benefits to providing through connection, including public safety. Member Steininger moved, Member Carlson seconded, a motion to recommend approval of a Rezoning from A (Agricultural) to R-1 (Single Family) on approximately 18 acres located on the east side of Wescott Hills Drive, south of Yankee Doodle Road, in the NEI/4 of Section 14. All voted in favor. Member Steininger moved, Member Frank seconded, a motion to recommend approval of a Preliminary Subdivision (Royal Oaks) consisting of 38 lots on 21.4 acres currently platted as Lots 1 and 2, Block 3, Wescott Hills Drive, south of Yankee Doodle Road, in the NEI/4 of Section 14, subject to the following conditions: Standard Conditions 1.

It shall be the responsibility of the City Clerk to maintain the Water Quality Management Plan and make the same available to the public." Rezoning City Code Chapter 11, Section 11.40, Subdivision S states, in part: 1. The provisions of this chapter may be amended by the majority vote of the council, except that amendments changing the boundaries of any district or changing the regulations of any district may only be made by an affirmative vote of two-thirds of all members of the council. rya Planning Report—Royal Oaks March 24, 1998 Page 3 2. The Council shall not rezone land or area in any zoning district or make any other proposed amendment to this chapter without first having referred it to the Planning Commission for its consideration and recommendation. BACKGROUND/HISTORY Most of the property in the proposed subdivision was originally platted as Wescott Garden Lots. The original plat included public streets (e.g. Cedar, Center)to provide access and internal circulation through this area. As properties in this area have developed in the last few years (e.g. Woodlands, Great Oaks),previously platted streets have been vacated. Similarly, this proposed subdivision will include vacation of previously platted public streets. As a result of these vacations, opportunities to provide inter-neighborhood connections will be lost. EXISTING CONDITIONS The property is undeveloped and contains significant woodlands, wetlands, and rolling topography. SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject property: North - Single and multi-family (Wescott Square) development; guided D-I and D-III; zoned R- 1 and R-3 South - Single family development; guided D-I; zoned R-1 and A East - Single family and townhome development; guided D-1 and D-II; zoned R-1 and PD West - Carriage Hills Golf Course; guided PF; zoned P EVALUATION OF REQUEST Rezoning Of the 21.4 acres comprising this proposed subdivision, 3.4 acres are currently zoned R-1 Single Family. The remaining 18 acres is currently zoned Agricultural and will need to be rezoned to R-1. The proposed R-1 zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Guide Plan which designates this property for D-1 Single Family(0-3 units/acre). Preliminary Subdivision Compatibility with Surrounding_Area- The proposed single family subdivision appears compatible with surrounding uses on adjacent properties which also consist of single family development. Planning Report—Royal Oaks March 24, 1998 Page 4 DeDensity - The proposed 38 lots on 21.4 acres will result in a density of 1.8 units per acre. This is within the density limits of the D-I land use which allows densities up to 3 units per acre. Lots - The proposed Royal Oaks subdivision will include 38 lots. The largest lot is proposed to be 40,936 s.f., the smallest 12,919 s.f. and the average lot size is 21,445. All lots meet or exceed code standards for lot size and width. Setbacks - All the lots are of sufficient size and shape to be developed without setback variances. Grading—The site is heavily wooded with varied topography. The preliminary grading plan shows initial grading for the street right-of-way and house pads for lots in the existing open areas of the site. The remaining lots will be custom-graded at the time building permits are issued for these lots. Storm Drainage—A majority of the development's storm water runoff is proposed to drain to the east through existing and proposed storm water ponds. These ponds will drain to an existing storm sewer line northeast of the site within Trails End Road. A portion of the development is proposed to drain to two existing wetland areas along the west edge of the site near Wescott Hills Drive. A storm sewer system to provide an outlet for these wetlands, as well as a portion of the Shade Tree Court street drainage, should be constructed as part of the Wescott Hills Drive street upgrade as detailed later in this report. The north cul-de-sac, Wild Rose Court, is proposed to drain to the north to Pond EP 2.2 an existing pond located mainly within Lot 2, Block 1, Thorpe Woodland Gardens. Pond EP 2.2 is a landlocked pond for which there is no feasible means of providing a drainage outlet by a gravity storm sewer system. With a landlocked pond, there is possibility of damage to surrounding trees due to high water levels following large storms. Therefore, the street drainage of Wild Rose Court should be directed to the east through the storm sewer within Trails End Road. Lateral and trunk storm sewer improvements, to drain the low point of Wescott Hills Drive, will also be necessary as part of the street up grade along the west side of Wescott Hills Drive through the Carnage Hills golf course. Water Quality/Wetlands—This development is located in drainage basin E and will generate runoff that will reach Pond EP-2, a 14-acre lake classified for indirect contact recreation use and located in the proposed North Park. Most of the impervious areas of the site—approximately 5.8 acres -will drain to a constructed detention basin along the northern border of the parcel. The detention basin will provide treatment adequate to protect water quality in Pond EP—2. Another impervious portion of the site—about 2.6 acres—will drain to a proposed sedimentation pond in the north-central portion of the site before discharging to Pond EP 2.2, located along the north edge of this subdivision. Pond EP 2.2 is a designated stormwater management pond which does not currently have an outlet. Further, it is not expected that an outlet will be installed as part of Planning Report—Royal Oaks March 24, 1998 Page 5 this project. If an outlet is installed at a later date, this ponding configuration will be adequate to protect water quality in Pond EP-2. Finally, about 2.2 acres of the western portion of the site, including several hundred feet of the entrance road, will discharge off-site to the west untreated. Staff suggests that a supplemental cash dedication be charged for this portion of the site. Opportunities to treat this runoff will be evaluated when Wescott Hills Drive is upgraded, presumably as part of a public improvement project associated with this development. The developer's consultant has conducted a wetland inventory of the site. The inventory resulted in the delineation of four jurisdictional wetland areas within the parcel. The developer is proposing to fill a total of approximately 1,700 square feet in two wetland basins, one in the south-central portion of the site and the other in the southeastern portion (designated as Ponds 4 and 5,respectively, on the grading plan). The total wetland fill proposed is less than the 2,000 square foot de minimum exemption allowed by the Wetland Conservation Act and therefore will require no mitigation. Staff is recommending a buffer extending 30 feet back from the delineated wetland edge for a .3 acre Type 3 /4 wetland in the southwestern corner of the site (Pond 3) and for the wetland complex associated with Pond EP 2.2 in the far northern portion of the site. No grading or vegetation clearing should be allowed within this buffer. Utilities— Sanitary sewer is available northeast of the site within the Trails End Road right-of- way for extension through this development. The developer is proposing that Lots 4 and 38, Block 1 not be provided with City utilities until such time as Wescott Hills Drive is upgraded and/or utilities are extended to serve those lots. As such, Lots 4 and 38 should be platted as outlots until sanitary sewer and water main service is readily available for connection. The consideration of the upgrade of Wescott Hills Drive and associated utility extensions will be a requirement of this development. Water main is also available at Trails End Road for extension through this development. However, a 16-inch trunk water main should be extended through the development to Wescott Hills Drive from the 16-inch water main stub recently constructed to the west edge of the Verdant Hills Addition located to the south. In accordance with the City Water Supply and Distribution Plan (1996), this extension will connect to an 8-inch trunk water main to be constructed along with the upgrade of Wescott Hills Drive. Streets/Access/Circulation - Within the proposed subdivision, all but four lots will front on new public streets (all cul-de-sacs). Driveway access to Lot 20 is proposed via an existing 20-foot wide private access easement from Woodland Court, a public cul-de-sac located to the south, across the common lot line between Lots 5 and 6, Block 1,Verdant Acres. Lots 19, 21, and 22 do not have direct public street frontage but are proposed to take access to the public street through a private driveway extending south from Shade Tree Court. This preliminary subdivision includes a request to vacate half of Center Street (the other half was vacated with Great Oaks) a portion of Cedar Street. The vacation of Cedar Street will eliminate an east-west through street that was initially platted as part of Wescott Garden Lots subdivision when the area was first beginning to develop. As general policy, the City encourages the provision of neighborhood connections where feasible. These connections provide maximum /5�3 Planning Report—Royal Oaks March 24, 1998 Page 6 flexibility for traffic movement which helps minimize concentrations of traffic that occur when only one access in and out of a neighborhood is provided. Through streets also have advantages from a public safety standpoint. By providing access alternatives, the shortest (quickest) distance can be utilized for response calls and alternate access routes are available in case the primary route is blocked. When Great Oaks subdivision was proposed,which included vacation of Center Street, the City asked the developer to submit a Concept Plan to illustrate how future neighborhood through- circulation and access to undeveloped parcels could be provided. The Concept Plan they submitted (see Exhibit A) depicts utilization of the platted Cedar St. as the east-west local street connection between Wescott Hills Drive and Trails End Road. The proposed subdivision (Royal Oaks) does not provide for an east-west through street connection. Instead, a long cul-de-sac is proposed (Shade Tree Court)to provide access only to lots within this subdivision, and does not provide for inter-connection of local neighborhood streets. This will result in the loss of an opportunity to provide an east-west through connection within this neighborhood. If the Council believes a through connection should be made in this area, the developer should be required to connect Shade Tree Court with Trails End Road as there will not be any other means to make that connection in the future in conjunction with development of surrounding undeveloped properties. In addition, the proposed Shade Tree Court cul-de-sac is 1,100-feet long and therefore will require a 600-foot variance to the maximum cul-de-sac length of 500-feet stated in the City Code. Because of the requested vacation of Cedar and Center Streets the developer was asked to submit a Conceptual Development Plan (see Exhibit B) to illustrate how access would be provided to the undeveloped property to the north without the benefit of the Cedar Street access. The concept plan illustrates that a cul-de-sac could be extended off Trails End Road to provide access to that property to accommodate future development. By Council direction, Wescott Hills Drive will be considered for upgrade to urban standards either in 1999 or with further adjacent development along the street such as this proposed subdivision. The Wescott Hills Drive upgrade will be considered as a public improvement project. Wescott Hills Drive, a designated Municipal State Aid road, is currently a rural section gravel roadway from Yankee Doodle Road to approximately 2,600 feet to the south. The scope of the upgrade of Wescott Hills Drive would include the connection with the existing portion of Wescott Hills Drive within the Sunrise Hills Addition to the south, thereby providing an adequate north-south roadway connection for the area. The upgrade of Wescott Hills Drive public improvement project should be approved by the City Council prior to final subdivision approval for this development. While the upgrade has not been designed yet, it is anticipated that the new roadway would be similar in design(width, speed)to the south segment of Wescott Hills Drive. Easements/Rights of Way/Permits - The developer has petitioned to vacate the Cedar Street and Center Street right-of-way within the development boundaries. As mentioned above, an east- ( Planning Report—Royal Oaks March 24, 1998 Page 7 west street connection should be provided to replace the existing east-west street right-of-way of Cedar Street. Driveway easements will be required for Lots 19-22. Tree Preservation - The tree inventory submitted by the developer indicates that there are 918 significant trees on site. Tree species composition is primarily a mix of hardwood deciduous trees,mostly bur, white, and red oaks (6"-36"diameter). The balance of the significant trees are black cherry, ash, elm, cottonwood,boxelder, maple, locust, ironwood, apple,jack pine, white pine, and spruce. According to proposed grading and tree preservation plan the developer will remove 199 trees (21.7% of the total) during initial development (street construction,utility installation, ponding and clearing of some house pads). According to the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance, allowable removal for this type of development (residential, multiple lot) is 25% of the existing significant vegetation during initial development phase, and 20 %removal for each individual lot. Since proposed tree removal during the initial phase is less than allowable limits, there is no tree mitigation associated with the initial development phase. The developer is attempting to maximize tree preservation through the implementation of custom grading on many of the lots. Tree preservation details and issues on these lots will be addressed at the time of building permit application. Individual tree preservation plans will be required at the time of building permit application on lots 1, 2, 4-9, 19-22, 27, 28, 30, 31, and 33-38. This site not only has a large number of significant trees,but many lots also have steep or rolling terrain or natural ponds on them. All of these factors make tree preservation efforts difficult. Therefore, it is imperative that city ordinances regarding tree protection measures are implemented from initial grading and site clearance to construction completion. Tree protection requirements will be strictly enforced on this site. Specifically, tree protection fencing must be placed at the Drip Line or at the perimeter of the Critical Root Zone (whichever is greater) before any site grading or tree removal commences. The developer must also notify the City Forestry Division at least five days prior to the issuance of the grading permit to allow for inspection of tree protection fence placement and to ensure compliance with the approved Tree Preservation Plan. Parks and Recreation— The APrC is recommending a cash dedication for parks and trails. Airport Noise Considerations - The City of Eagan considered airport noise as a factor in its Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan. With the State's decision to expand the airport at its current location, the Metropolitan Council has adopted a revised Aviation Chapter which anticipates the impacts from the continued operation of the airport at its current location. The noise policy contours in northern Eagan place the subject property with Noise Zone IV. Within this area, infill single family residential development would be conditional. To approve such development in this area, the City Council would need to make acceptable findings concerning the following: 1. Specific nature of the proposed use, including the extent of outdoor activities 5�� Planning Report—Royal Oaks March 24, 1998 Page 8 2. Relationship of the proposed use to other planning considerations, including adjacent land use activities, consistency with overall comprehensive planning and relation to other metropolitan systems. 3. Frequency of exposure of proposed uses to aircraft overflight. 4. Location of proposed use relative to aircraft flight tracks and aircraft on-ground operating and maintenance areas. 5. Location, site design and construction restrictions to be imposed by the community of the proposed use with respect to reduction of exterior to interior noise transmissions and shielding of outdoor activities. 6. Method community will use to inform future occupant of proposed building of potential noise from aircraft operations. 7. Extent to which community restricts the building from having facilities for outdoor activities associated with the use. 8. Distance of proposed use from existing or proposed runways, parallel taxiways or engine run- up areas. With respect to the factual aspects of the findings, the property lies approximately 4.5 miles southeast of the primary runways at the airport. On an annual average, approximately half of all arrivals and departures use these runways to and from the southeast. At current traffic levels, this equals approximately 300,000 operations annually. Because of the relationship of the property to the current departure and arrival procedures and the runway centerlines, a significant portion of the departures and a smaller portion of the arrivals will track near the property. The property is approximately 5 miles form the engine maintenance and run up area. While the Stage III airline fleet, federally mandated by the year 2000, will create less noise per operation than the current fleet, the future net affect of such reductions is not certain. As such, regional policy requires that cities take current noise levels into account until such time as reductions in actual noise result in a reduction of the policy contours. If the City determines that findings support the approval of this application, it should be conditioned on the architectural designs and construction methods incorporating sound attenuation standards sufficient to achieve an interior sound level of 45 dBA as compared with the level at the innermost boundary of the contour. This would require an inside noise level reduction of at least 20 dBA. Neighborhood Meeting The developer hosted a neighborhood meeting on March 11, 1998 to discuss their development proposal. About 30 residents of the surrounding neighborhood attended. They responded positively to the 38 lot single family development proposed by the developer. However, they expressed major concerns about the extension of Wescott Hills Drive to connect the northern (unimproved) segment with the improved southern segment. Their concerns centered around fears of increased traffic through their neighborhood and associated safety issues. They questioned whether the south segment was designed to accommodate increased traffic and whether sidewalks would need to be installed. They indicated that they were not against the 7 Planning Report—Royal Oaks March 24, 1998 Page 9 upgrade (paved, curb and gutter) of the northern segment,they just do not want the two segments to be connected. Concerns were also raised about connecting the proposed Shade Tree Court cul-de-sac with Trails End Road. The developer indicated that they are not in favor of that connection and suggested that if it is required they will need to increase densities, do more extensive grading, and remove more trees. The City received one letter from a resident of Trail Court stating support for the subdivision and the roadway connections (see Exhibit Q. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION Royal Oaks Realty, Inc. is proposing to rezone 18 acres from Agricultural to R-1 Single Family in conjunction with a preliminary subdivision request on 21.4 acres located on the east side of Wescott Hills Drive, south of Yankee Doodle Road. The proposed subdivision(Royal Oaks) consists of 38 lots, all of which meet or exceed code requirements for lot size and width. The subdivision is proposed to be served by three public cul-de-sacs. In order to retain an east- west through street as proposed when Cedar St. was originally platted, the proposed Shade Tree Court should be extended east to connect with Trails End Road. This would allow through circulation and enhance neighborhood inter-connection. If the City does not require that connection, a variance will be necessary to allow the proposed Shade Tree Court cul-de-sac which is 1,100-feet long. City Code specifies a maximum cul-de-sac length of 500-feet. The City Council will also need to consider the upgrade of Wescott Hills Drive in conjunction with this development. The north segment of Wescott Hills Drive, a Municipal State Aid Road, is currently an unimproved (gravel), dead-end road. Again, in an effort to enhance through traffic movement and neighborhood connections, Wescott Hills Drive should be connected to its southern road segment at the time it is upgraded. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED A. To recommend approval or denial of a Rezoning of approximately 18 acres from A (Agricultural)to R-1 (Single Family) located on the east side of Wescott Hills Drive, south of Yankee Doodle Road, in the NE '/4 of Section 14.

Today, we recognize that many new aquatic trends and concepts are improving the acceptance and vitality of the public swimming pool. Children, adults, and families enjoy swimming and look to their community for new and enjoyable aquatic opportunities. The City of Eagan, in recognition of the need to more effectively serve the community's aquatic needs, has commissioned Water Technology, Inc. to prepare an Aquatic Master Plan for a new .outdoor Family Aquatic Center. The objective of the Study is to examine the existing community needs for outdoor swimming facilities, and to plan and design a new Family Aquatic Center. This Report#1 provides data for review and consideration of the Family Aquatic Center Concept. Water Technology,Inc. I City of Eagan CITY OF EAGAN, MINNESOTA Family Aquatic Center I. AMERICANS LOVE TO SWIM Americans love to swim and the residents of Eagan are no exception. A variety of surveys and studies conducted throughout the nation by reputable analysts provides us with conclusive evidence of the importance of swimming as a leisure activity. The participation levels of children, adults and families in swimming is also of importance to the City of Eagan as it plans a future aquatic facility to serve the community. A.

A NEW DIRECTION FOR PUBLIC OUTDOOR SWIMMING POOLS A. THE FAMILY AQUATIC CENTER For at least the past ten years many traditional public outdoor swimming pools have seen a decline in user acceptance and participation. At the same time, both national and local surveys have indicated that swimming is the nation's most popular participation sport with a broad range of participants including children, families and adults. The logical question for most cities is "Why are we seeing a decline in attendance at our public pools?" Leisure Concepts &Design has seriously explored the rationale for this dichotomy of high interest and low use. In the early 1980's it became apparent that the public had good reasons for not visiting the traditional swimming pool. This facility, simply described, was (1) a large tank of deep water, (2) surrounded by narrow concrete decks and (3) enclosed by a chain link fence. This stockade environment had little appeal to the more sophisticated leisure interests of the American public. Resorts, hotels, Disney World and commercial water parks suggested that a new aquatic environment could be exciting, fun and a quality leisure experience. Further recognizing the specific leisure interests of the family, Leisure Concepts &Design identified the aquatic activities that were important to the planning and design of the municipal public swimming pool of the future. In 1984,Leisure Concepts &Design, in concert with the Bensenville Park District, prepared the conceptual plan for a public swimming pool that would significantly change the image of the "traditional"public swimming pool across the nation. This new concept is now recognized as the Family Aquatic Center with a Zero Depth Pool. Subsequently, dozens of Family Aquatic Centers have been built across the nation. Attendance and statistics indicate that the public truly enjoys swimming and that children, adults, and families will now be active participants at an outdoor Family Aquatic Center. The Family Aquatic Center has been recognized as innovative yet practical. It responded to the very basic needs and interests of the consumer. Its emphasis is based upon the premise that the swimming pool visitor is primarily interest in a quality aquatic leisure experience that includes high entertainment and social values. Children, adults and families have found that swimming at the Family Aquatic Center can again be their most enjoyable and exciting recreation experience. The design and services of the Family Aquatic Center are paramount to meeting aquatic interests of all ages while further providing a quality leisure experience. Water Technology,Inc. 7 City of Eagan The Family Aquatic Center is truly a"paradigm shift "from the antiquated "traditional"public swimming pool that is no longer effectively serving today's community needs. B. TRENDS SUPPORTING THE LEISURE POOL CONCEPT The following trends are supporting the concept of the Family Aquatic Center: 1. The traditional public swimming pool is being revitalized or replaced with the facilities of a Family Aquatic Center. 2. The public's reaction to the Family Aquatic Center has been overwhelmingly positive. A recent study conducted by Water Technology, Inc. d/b/a Leisure Concepts &Design indicates eight new or revitalized outdoor Family Aquatic Centers are showing an average increase in attendance of 241% over the attendance at a traditional pool. 3. The Bather Load Capacity of a Family Aquatic Center can readily be established at 2,000 persons and still maintain a low density of participants. 4. A wave action swimming pool is not a necessity in establishing a Family Aquatic Center. 5. Diving and the accompanying deep water tanks are not a high priority in new aquatic facilities being built today. Drop Slides are often used to replace diving boards in existing tanks of 11' to 12' depth. 6. The wading pool is no longer designated as a separate children's play feature in a Family Aquatic Center but is being incorporated as a shallow water"Water Playground" feature for the entire family. 7. The competitive swimming pool at 25 yards or 50 meters in length and with a 4 foot minimum depth should be considered as optional (not a necessity) in the design of a Family Aquatic Center. Not every community requires a competitive swimming tank in every pool. 8. Many existing traditional pools can be effectively revitalized by adding the features of the Family Aquatic Center. Water Technology,Inc. 8 City of Eagan C. TYPICAL PLANNING GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR THE FAMILY AQUATIC CENTER I.

Aquatic Consultant: WATER TECHNOLOGY, INC. 100 Park Avenue, Beaver Dam, WI 53916 Voice-920.887.7375 FAX 920.887.7999 CITY OF EAGAN COMMUNITY PROFILE Source: City of Eagan The City of Eagan is the largest city in Dakota County with a 1997 estimated population of 60,000 people. The City is considered the southeast anchor to the Twin Cities Metropolitan area. Major freeways provide regional vehicular access to the city. Eagan currently is comprised of 23,272 households with an average of 2.72 persons per household. The median income according to the 1990 census is $46,600 per overall households; $51,000 per family households. The most recent profile of Eagan's population shows that 31% are children under 18, 44% are ages 25-44, and persons over age 65 are 2%. Recent School District 196 K-12 enrollment projections for the City of Eagan suggest increases of students in grades K-5 through the year 2002 followed by a slow decline; projected to the year 2010. Grades 6-8 will continue to increase in student numbers through the year 2007. High school age students are projected to increase in numbers through 2010. The City of Eagan can be characterized as a young, affluent municipality that has yet to reach total build out. School District projections suggest that the proportions of the population in the various age groups will remain fairly constant in the foreseeable future. PRELIMINARY PROGRAM & WORK PRODUCT FOR THE CONSULTANT Source: City of Eagan The City Council has deferred developing a final program for this facility until a consultant is able to assist them. Key elements identified at this time are: 1. A pool with zero depth entry of not less than 20,000 square feet of water surface. 2. Two "high entry" water slides; one body slide and one flume for tube rides. 3. Additional water slides for small children and toddlers. 4. Water play features for smaller children to include sprays, slides, bubblers,jets, water curtains, and waterfalls. 5. Sand/water play area. 6. Picnic area for small group reservation. 7. Structure(s) to house mechanical equipment, concessions, administrative functions/admission sales, bathhouse, and emergency services. 8. Concessions eating area. 9. Ample deck and open space suitable for deck/lawn chairs and shade. Other items to be considered will include: lap swim area, a defined "tiny tots" area, "lazy river", sand volleyball, "deep water" turbulence. Water Technology,Inc. 1 City of Eagan,Minnesota FAMILY AQUATIC CENTER ARCHITECTURAL OBJECTIVES Source: City of Eagan The following eighteen Architectural Objectives have been prepared by the City of Eagan staff for further consideration by the Water Technology, Inc. planning and design team: 1. Aquatic center should provide a strong sense of community, pride and spirit. 2. Entrance should be clearly visible and identifiable to potential users. 3. The design of the aquatic center shall be sensitive in design and layout to the residential neighborhood to the east. 4. The aquatic center location and design should be sensitive to the natural area surrounding the site. 5. The design should seek to take advantage of the topographic change and landscaping. 6. The design of the aquatic center is to be dynamic and allow for site and feature changes in future years. 7. Layout of the parking lot should be designed to be easily identified and safe. 8. Vehicular and non-vehicular traffic flows should be easily identified and accessed. Identified secondary access for emergencies and deliveries should be considered. Operational traffic flows should be easily identified. 9. The aquatic center should be sized to accommodate community needs, considering various and numerous user groups, i.e., tots, teens, adults. 10. Incorporate uniqueness into the central theme of the design that consistently carries through to concessions, marketing, staffing, etc. 11. The design of the pool and structure should reflect and complement the enduring style of the municipal center campus and not reflect any period of time. Water Technology,Inc. 2 City of Eagan,Minnesota FAMILY AQUATIC CENTER ARCHITECTURAL OBJECTIVES (continued) 12. The aquatic center should provide a sense of openness, deck space, green space, and family areas. 13. Provides ace for activity outside of the pool itself. 14. Quality of materials should be aesthetically pleasing, durable, and provide for ease of maintenance. (Value engineering)?? 15. Location of mechanical, concessions, storage, administration, and operations needs to be laid out in a convenient and efficient manner for the public and staff. 16. Mechanical systems should provide optimum, efficient, innovative operations for the facility. 17.

Water Technology,Inc. 3 City of Eagan,Minnesota FAMILY AQUATIC CENTER PLANNING GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The following Goals and Objectives have been reviewed and prioritized by eight City of Eagan staff members and are considered realistic and accomplishable for the development of a new outdoor Eagan Aquatic Center. The ranking is based upon IMPORTANCE with a 5 being very high and 1 being very low. FAMILY AQUATIC CENTER PLANNING GOALS ANALYSIS RANK To increase attendance and be financially self-supporting 4.9 To be an attractive, exciting, safe, and quality leisure experience 4.9 To attract greater youth, adult, and family participation 4.6 To satisfy a broad range of aquatic interests for all ages 3.9 PLANNING OBJECTIVES RANK Develop an aesthetic quality to the outdoor pool environment 4.9 with appropriate signage, furniture, appurtenances and landscaping.

Water Technology,Inc. 5 City of Eagan,Minnesota SWIMMING POOL STANDARD AND BATHER LOAD CAPACITY FOR EAGAN, MINNESOTA A. STANDARD The Recreation, Park and Open Space Standards and Guidelines published by the National Recreation and Park Association provide us with a facility development standard for public outdoor swimming pools. NRPA Swimming Pool Standards 1. One swimming pool per 20,000 population (Neighborhood) 2. Pools should accommodate 3 to 5% of total population at a time. B. GENERAL ASSESSMENT OF STANDARD Many changes and new concepts are currently taking place relative to the planning for new public swimming pools. The trend towards the Family Aquatic Center, rather than the traditional public swimming pool, is resulting in greater numbers of swimmers and a broader age range of users than ever before. Design and quality of facilities are the prime factor, rather than an increased number of traditional pools. In fact the N RPAuantit q y standard of one pool per 20,000 persons is not a reasonable standard in light of the following: 1. Increased mobility of the urban and rural population. 2. Increased cost of pool construction. 3. Smaller pools in greater numbers have not increased pool usage. 4. Larger community-wide pools/family aquatic centers have greater appeal than smaller neighborhood pools. 5. Larger community-wide pools/family aquatic centers have a lower "per participant" operating cost than the smaller neighborhood pools. Water Technology,Inc. 6 City of Eagan,Minnesota C. RECOMMENDED STANDARD Outdoor aquatic facilities to serve 4% of Eagan's population at a time is a realistic standard and should be considered for the development of future aquatic facilities. A single outdoor Family Aquatic Center to be located at the City's Municipal Center Campus is recommended to serve future outdoor needs. D. MINNESOTA BATHER LOAD CAPACITY The specific "Bather Load" requirement is established by the Minnesota Department of Public Health and is the maximum permissible attendance at a swimming pool at a given time based upon the Water Components. E. COMPARISON BY STANDARD Standard: Outdoor Family Aquatic Center and swimming pool facilities to accommodate 4% of the population of the City of Eagan. Eagan Standard Recommended Year Population Base % Bather Load Capacity 1998 60,000 4% 2,400 F.

The Entertainment Capacity suggests the diversity of activities required to provide an entertainment value necessary to assure participation by all ages with special emphasis on the family. The Entertainment Capacity is further correlated to the Recommended Bather Capacity of 2000. A. ENTERTAINMENT CAPACITY CALCULATIONS FOR WATER COMPONENTS: The following calculations provide the methodology for establishing the Entertainment Capacity for each of the Water Components: Leisure Pools one unit of entertainment capacity per 15 sq. ft. of water surface less than 5' depth. Zero depth pools Activity pools Water playgrounds Interactive pools Deep Water one unit of entertainment capacity per 25 sq. ft. of water surface greater than 5' depth. Lazy Rivers one unit of entertainment capacity per 20 sq. ft. of water surface. Water Slides capacity is based on the length of time the guest has to wait to ride the slide. Normally, water slides have a capacity of three to four riders per minute. The maximum wait should be no more than fifteen minutes; therefore, each slide has an entertainment capacity of 45 to 60. Diversity the other element to be considered in entertainment capacity is the diversity of attractions. Based on the program of elements for a project, there must be sufficient diversity to meet the entertainment requirements. Water Technology,Inc. 11 City of Eagan,Minnesota B. MINIMUM REQUIRED ENTERTAINMENT CAPACITY It has been determined by Water Technology, Inc., through previous on-site surveys, that a Minimum Entertainment Capacity be established for both Water and Park Components of a Family Aquatic Center.

Water Technology,Inc. 12 City of Eagan,Minnesota D. DESIGN FEATURES Eight major entertainment components reflect the diversity of activity required to provide the entertainment capacity necessary to assure participation by all ages, with special emphasis on the family. The combination of four aquatic and four park components must provide an overall leisure experience at sufficient levels to retain attendees' interest for a maximum length of stay and to engender the repeat visits that will achieve maximum attendance.

From Yankee Doodle Road to the south, it is a rolling rural gravel road '/z mile in length and currently deadends at a private driveway (3590 Wescott Hills Drive — Fred Wessel). The southerly segment of Wescott Hills Drive is located within the Sunrise Hills Addition and consists of approximately '/2 mile in length from Wescott Road to a temporary deadend at the south property line of the Wessel Pond Addition. This segment is built to current residential City standards. HISTORY Sunrise Hills — Sunrise Hills Addition was developed by Joe Miller of Argus Homes in 1988. Wescott Hills Drive was proposed to be named Sunrise Way. However, during the development review process, the City emphasized the need to provide a continuation of Wescott Hills Drive from Yankee Doodle Road to Wescott Road at some future date. However, the Council recognized that the improvement, connection and extension of Wescott Hills Drive from the Sunrise Hills Addition to Yankee Doodle Road was premature taking into consideration the large undeveloped parcels along this northern segment. Subsequently, the City Council required the Sunrise Hills Addition to construct a temporary cul-de-sac at its northwest corner in a fashion to accommodate its future extension. Through an agreement, the City required the developer to financially guarantee the cost of the conversion of the temporary cul-de-sac, and notice of this street extension was to be recorded against all future lots of the Sunrise Hills Addition. In addition, Condition #3 of the notice states that future property owners have waived all rights to object to the future connection and extension of Wescott Hills Drive. Attached to this memo is a copy of the agreement recorded as Document No. 835973. Thorpe Woodland Gardens — This development was processed in 1993. During the application review, the upgrading of Wescott Hills Drive was recommended as a condition of approval to comply with City Code. During its review, the City Council determined that this 3-lot subdivision did not warrant the upgrading of the north half of Wescott Hills Drive at that time. Wessel Pond Addition—In January, 1997, the City Council considered the 4-lot subdivision of the proposed Wessel Pond Addition. Because this parcel incorporated the missing link for interconnecting both segments of Wescott Hills Drive, the City Council had significant discussion regarding the amount and alignment of the required right-of-way dedication to accommodate the future interconnection. The City Council ultimately required the dedication but removed the condition to upgrade Wescott Hills Drive. However, they specifically programmed the ultimate upgrade and improvement of Wescott Hills Drive for 1999 in the 5-Year CEP or concurrent with development of the remaining undeveloped property to the north(Royal Oaks Addition). SUMMARY The City Council has taken great care to properly plan and program for the ultimate completion of Wescott Hills Drive from Yankee Doodle Road to Wescott Road during numerous development proposals over the past 10 years. With the development of the Sunrise Hills Addition, every action was taken to properly notify future property owners of this planned street connection. With the development of the Royal Oaks Addition, the current rural gravel road will not be able to provide adequate service to the 38 new residential lots. Subsequently, staff has again recommended that a condition be placed on the approval of the Royal Oaks Addition that Wescott Hills Drive must be approved for upgrading to City standards by Council action prior to final plat approval. If the City Council concurs, a detailed feasibility report can be prepared reviewing the scope, cost, schedule, financing, right-of-way acquisition and traffic impact associated with this planned improvement. Like all other public improvements, informational neighborhood meetings will be held prior to the formal public hearing to discuss and review issues and concerns associated with such a public improvement.

Eagan, MN 55123 (612 ) 456-9000 3 MEMO Date: April 16, 1998 To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members From: John Gorder, Design/Development Engineer Subject: Royal Oaks Preliminary Subdivision Trunk Water Main Loop At the public hearing for the above-referenced preliminary subdivision, the developer objected to Condition No. 6 as stated in the staff report regarding the extension of a 16- inch trunk water main through this development to Wescott Hills Drive. Their main objections centered around the cost of the oversizing of the needed pipe to a 16-inch pipe and the circuitous route they feel the pipe would be taking to connect to water main in Wescott Hills Drive. The APC recommended preliminary approval of the subdivision with this condition deleted. It should be noted that the cost of oversizing the trunk water main can be borne by the City via a public improvement project through which the developer is assessed the lateral benefit from this trunk main only. The oversizing costs (from an 8-inch to a 16-inch diameter pipe) could be picked up by the City Trunk Water Main Fund. The developer has indicated that they are not agreeable to this option. An alignment through the subdivision would provide the maximum lateral benefit from the trunk main versus another alignment as it would provide water service for 12 proposed lots within the Royal Oaks Addition. Previous developments in the area (Great Oaks, Verdant Acres, Verdant Hills) have also extended the trunk water main in a circuitous route in order to provide the maximum lateral benefit (see attached sketch of trunk water main in the area). Also, if the trunk water main were not aligned through this proposed development, and extended through the property to the south as proposed by the developer, substantial tree loss would occur. City maintenance access would also be more difficult through a "backyard" alignment as proposed by the developer. The easement area 20-feet wide over the water main would need to be kept clear of large trees, which is not conducive to a backyard alignment. In summary, staff recommends that the condition be included as part of preliminary subdivision approval. Staff will be available to answer any questions you may have on this matter.

The condition was included in the planning report because of staff's concern over the developer's proposal to direct public street drainage north toward a natural ponding area (Pond EP-2.2) from which a gravity pipe outlet is not feasible. Staff's main concern was that this drainage would raise water levels in the pond and adversely impact surrounding trees, a majority of which are not within the proposed subdivision area. The developer did not object to the condition at the public hearing on this item. However, since the hearing, the City has received letters from the co-applicant, Bryce Thorpe (owner of Outlot A, Thorpe Woodland Gardens), and two adjacent property owners, Mary Lou Thorpe and Rachael Newman Thorpe. They stated their desire to have the cul-de-sac street drainage condition deleted by the Council. They feel that Pond EP- 2.2 would be adversely impacted by directing the street drainage to the east in that the loss of water shed area would cause the pond to dry up more rapidly than it does currently. The developer's engineer has provided the City hydrologic calculations supporting this assertion. The calculations indicate that water levels would likely decrease from present levels if the cul-de-sac storm drainage is directed away from Pond EP-2.2. If the condition regarding the cul-de-sac storm drainage is dropped form the preliminary subdivision approval, the developer should obtain the following from the riparian property owners who are affected by the water levels of Pond EP-2.2: • Ponding easements to three feet above the calculated high water level of Pond EP-2.2 (to elevation 851). • Waivers to release the City from liability from damage to trees damaged from possible high water in Pond EP-2.2. The Thorpes have indicated in their letters that they would be willing to provide such a release. These waivers should be recorded against the properties. The waivers should also indicate that the property owners would be responsible for the cost of installing an outlet pipe from Pond EP-2.2, in the event one is needed in the future. Staff will be available to answer any questions you may have on this matter. +6125455670 +6125455670 JET EDGE/SALES 041 P02 APR 13 '98 15:48 Bryce Thorpe 3460 Wescott Hills Drive Eagan,Minnesota 55123 h. 612-452-5960 w.612-525-5592 April 11, 1998 To: Tom Colbert, Public Works Director John Gorder, Development Design Engineer Rich Brasch, Water Resources Coordinator From: Bryce Thorpe, Property Owner Re: Wild Rose Court Drainage, Condition #4, Page 10 of Planning Report Royal Oaks Application, Case #14-PS-02-02-98, 14-RZ-02-02-98 I ask that city staff reconsider their condition for a drainage plan that would only utilize one NURP pond to the East of Wild Rose Court. Utilizing a single NURP pond and then draining to the East through Trials End Road storm sewer would require raising the Wild Rose culdesac of the proposed Royal Oaks development approximately 6 '/2'. I have four primary concerns: Immediate and unnecessary loss of 10 to 12 significant hardwoods. Potential decrease of the watershed into our pond. Raising the cul-de-sac 6 '/z' will significantly increase tree loss when house pads are built. Culdesac would no longer fit into the natural topography of the area. Responsibility,for Potential Tree Loss There will actually be three lots that surround the pond that would be used as an overflow for the second NURP pond as proposed in Preliminary Plat Proposal. One lot is owned by my sister and her husband, Rachael and Claus Newman. Another lot is owned by my mother,Mary Louise Thorpe. The third is Lot 6 of the proposed development, which I will be retaining as an Outlot for the foreseeable future. If the level of the pond increases from having a second NURP pond as proposed by Royal Oaks our family or current property owner (should ownership change)would be responsible for any tree loss that could potentially occur. My Perspective on Alternatives The trees around the base of the pond are fast growing softwoods such as cottonwood, box elder and willow and are much smaller than the hardwoods surrounding the proposed Wild Rose culdesac. The trees surrounding the proposed culdesac in question are mature oak and cherry up to 30+ inches in diameter. The project engineer, Joel Cooper has estimated that raising the culdesac 6 1/2' will result in the loss of a minimum of 15 to 20 additional significant trees compared to our original elevation and drainage plan. +6125455670 +6125455670 JET EDGE/SALES 041 P03 APR 13 '98 15:48 I do not believe the later(certain and immediate loss of significant trees) could be considered a better,alternative than the former(potential loss of some smaller softwood trees at some point in the future). That potential loss would only occur if our drainage plan significantly increased the water level in the pond surrounded by our family's property. Considering this pond is dry half the summer, I doubt our proposed changes would have an adverse impact water level of this pond. What is being done to address this issue? Joel Cooper of James R. Hill (890-6044) is currently preparing a hydrology analysis for the drainage area in question which you should have a copy of early this week. It does not look like our drainage plan will have a significant impact on the pond's water level. Joel Cooper of James R. Hill, Mike Black and Mike Kurtz of Royal Oaks Reality, Rich Brasch from the City of Eagan and I met on April 3rd to discuss this drainage issue. You have received letters from Mary Louise Thorpe and Rachael Newman stating their support of our original drainage plan and that the city will not be held liable for any potential tree loss around the pond. You have received this letter from me stating the same. My Request I would like Condition 44, Page 10 of Planning Report deleted. I request you do not make a single NURP pond design a condition of approving the proposed Royal Oaks development. Allow the developer to utilize a second NURP pond for run off from Wild Rose Court as originally designed by our engineers. If you require any additional documentation from the surrounding property owners please advise me ASAP. If you have questions, comments or concerns regarding this request please contact me at your earliest convenience. Sincerely, Bryce Thorpe April 6, 1998 TO: Tom Colbert, Public Works Director John Gorder, Development Design Engineer Rich Brasch, water Resources Coordinator FROM: Mary Lou Thorpe, Adjacent Property Owner RE: Drainage Plan, Royal Oaks Application, Case # 14-PS-02-02-98 I ask that city staff reconsider their recommendation for a drainage plan that would only utilize one NURP pond and require raising the northern culdesac of the proposed Royal Oaks development approximately 6 1/2 ' . I would like to offer information on the drainage history of the land I have owned for 39 years. T have three primary concerns: 1) Immediate and unnecessary loss of 10 to 12 significant hardwood trees. 2) Potential decrease of the watershed into my pond. 3) Raising the cul-de-sac 6 1/2 ' will significantly increase tree loss when house pads are built. A Brief History Years ago the pond was several feet higher than it is now and held water year round. If anything I would like to have the pond back the way it was with more water. The pond dries up completely most years, sometimes as early as June, sometimes not until late August. Most years the water lasts just long enough for the duckling hatch. We wish there would be enough water to support water fowl for the entire season. Draining the ponds on either side of Yankee Doodle for the road upgrade in the 60's had the net effect of lowering the water table in our pond. we have never since, even in years of very high precipitation, had a comparable amount of water. Responsibility for Potential Tree Loss If the level of my pond increased from having a second NURP pond as proposed by Royal Oaks our family would be responsible for any tree loss that could potentially occur. The land around the pond in question will remain in Thorpe family ownership. We have suffered the loss of trees from disease and windstorm over the years, and have always dealt with the problem privately and directly. We will remain responsible for tree loss or damage on our property resulting from any increase in water level. My Perspectives on the Alternatives The trees around the base of the pond are fast growing softwoods such as cottonwood, box elder and willow and are much smaller than the oaks up the hill surrounding the proposed culdesac. The trees surrounding the proposed culdesac in question are mature oaks and cherry up to 30+ inches in diameter. The developer has estimated that raising the cul-de-sac 6 1/2 ' will result in the loss of a minimum of 15 to 20 additional trees compared to the developer's original elevation and drainage plan. I do not understand how the later (certain and immediate loss of significant trees) could be considered a better alternative than the former (potential loss of some smaller softwood trees at some point in the future) That potential loss would only occur if the developer's drainage plan significantly increased the water level in my pond. I find that rather unlikely based on the drainage area that flows into the proposed northern cul-de-sac. My Request Do not make a single NURP pond design a condition of approving the proposed Royal Oaks development. Allow the developer to utilize two NURP ponds for run off as originally designed by the developer's engineers. �� z`7 Willard Converse 852 Ivy Lane Eagan, MN 55123 v March 25, 1998 City Council City of Eagan 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MN 55122 Re : Royal Oaks Proposed Development - Street Plan Dear Councilmembers : The Woodland Countryhomes Association, acting through their Board of Directors, supports the street plan, as shown in the proposed preliminary plat of Royal Oaks, attached to this letter.

We are very concerned about the Royal Oaks development plan. Specifically one of the condition in the plan calls for the upgrade of Wescott Hills Drive. This condition includes words regarding the connection of the north and south ends of the Wescott Hills Drive. We very much oppose any such connection. In 1987, when we built our house, we were told Wescott Hills Drive would not become a through street. In fact we have an old plat map showing our street named Sunwood Way, not Wescott Hills Drive. If we had known that Wescott Hills Drive would eventually become a through street, we are quite sure that we would have built in another location. At that time, we had a toddler and a baby on the way and the idea of living on a busy street made no sense to us. Today we have 4 children aged 9, 8, 6 and 2 and we object even more strongly to the idea of having any more traffic in front of our house than we do now. We believe the traffic will increase due to golf course traffic and high school/middle schooliball field traffic(via the North Ridge development). We have no problem with the development or the upgrade to the north end of Wescott Hills Drive. When the time comes to make the motion for this issue, we strongly urge you recommend the approval of the development and the go ahead of the Wescott Hills Drive upgrade without the connection of the north and south ends. One of our neighbors suggested putting in a bike/walking path to connect the neighborhoods. Similar paths have been used to connect neighborhoods in other parts of Eagan. These paths have often be used for maintenance vehicles and, in an emergency, could also accomodate other vehicles. We look forward to a reply from you on how you stand on these issues. Sincerely, The Grindeland Family James, Kathleen, Christopher, Daniel, Robert, and Megan /9/ Sunrise Hills, Woodlands and North Ridge Residents THIS CONCERNS YOU ! A. Quick overview of the issue-read below for more details. The City will soon be considering whether or not to connect the north and south ends of Wescott Hills Drive(WHD),which is the main street in Sunrise Hills. A large number of the people in these neighborhoods oppose this idea because of traffic and safety concerns-primarily safety of our children. If you agree,and would like to do something about it,skip to C.at the end of this flyer for ways to help. B. More detailed information... Royal Oaks Realty,Inc. is planning a new development for an area on the north end of Wescott Hills Drive(WHD)just east of the Carriage Hills Golf Course. At the March 24, 1998 Eagan Advisory Planning Commission meeting,the commission voted to recommend the rezoning and development plan as proposed with several conditions which were included in the city staff report. We have no objection to the development plan itself. We do object to a recommendation in the city staff report which has WHD becoming connected to form a through street from Yankee Doodle Road to Wescott Road as part of the road improvement process for the currently unpaved part of WHD. Four of the commissioners were sympathetic to our objections to the connection. A comment is supposed to go forward to the City Council from the Planning Commission recommending the WHD connection issue be treated separately from the upgrading of the northern portion of WHD. Now we need to make sure that the City Council receives this "comment"and learns of our objections to WHD becoming a through street. Residents on both north and south ends of WHD object to the connection of WHD making it a through street from Yankee Doodle to Wescott Road for these reasons: 1. Safety of children. The south end of WHD already has a large amount of traffic. Our children and families walk or ride bikes to and from their neighbors,the Mueller Farm Park and Woodland Elementary School along WED. There are also two family day care providers on WHD. 2. Golf course traffic. We learned from two families who currently live along the unpaved portion of WHD near the golf course, that some pre and post-golfing traffic is a problem. Golfers late for tee times speed in,others speed out at the end of their game. The connection would allow half or more of this traffic to come through the south end of WHD. 3. Increased traffic from south to north. With the connection,residents from Woodlands and Sunrise Hills could go north to Yankee Doodle. The northern WHD neighbors do not want our traffic. 4. Increased traffic for Sunrise Hills and Woodlands. Sunrise Hills and some Woodlands residents could see an increase in regular,commercial(golf course deliveries)and construction traffic. This is a particular problem for the existing paved portion of WHD(the Sunrise Hills addition)since we already have many drivers exceeding the 30mph limit in the presence of many young children. We feel the southern portion of WHD will see an increase in traffic resulting from the 38 new home sites in the proposed new development,when going to/from the middle and high schools and the ball fields,as well as the many churches south of Wescott Road. 5. Increased traffic for North Ridge.Residents will probably see even more traffic using their street as a thoroughfare to the middle and high schools and ball fields. Eagan officials say the connection is part of the long range plan. The long range plan has changed many times. The connection plan can change too. The Eagan officials say the connection would increase safety for our neighborhoods,however they have not presented any real data that supports this conclusion. They say the connection will make our neighborhoods more"connected". We. the neighbors,do not want to be THAT connected. (We actually like each other,we just do not want each others' traffic.) By city ordinance,cul-de-sacs are not to exceed 500 feet. The two portions of WHD obviously exceed this limitation,but there is precedent set for"long cul-de-sacs"by other developments in Eagan. Some of these are: Blackhawk Ponds(Murphy Parkway off of Deerwood Drive, .6 mile); Great Oaks,directly northeast of the Woodlands is.4 mile;Deerwood Trail off Deerwood and Pilot Knob is a closed loop with 1 access point, .7 mile. There are more. One possible safety alternative is to put a walking/bike path as a connection between the two portions of WHD. A similar path. which provides access to Woodland School,is often used by maintenance vehicles and would provide emergency access from one neighborhood to the other. lfal�_ C. What can We do? 1 If you agree with this opposition,please help get the message across to our city officials by doing one or more of the following. 1. Attend the Eagan City Council meeting on Tuesday April 21, 1998. The City Council has the final authority in this matter so we need to have LOTS of people at this meeting. Your presence WILL make a difference. Please don't assume the connection is a "done deal": it is NOT,as long as we let the City Council and Mayor know of the problems it would create for our children and our neighborhoods. Our presence,testimony and signed petitions at the March 24 Planning Commission meeting made a difference,as did your letters and phone calls. We need many more people at the April 21'Council meeting. 2. Call,write a letter or send a fax to Mayor Egan and members of the Eagan City Council, expressing your opposition to Wescott Hills Drive becoming a through street from Yankee Doodle Road to Wescott Road. Stating your opposition in your own words is more effective than any form letter,but feel free to cite any of the reasons we have included above,as well as your own. Please make all your contacts with officials"positive" and avoid emotional interchanges. State the facts as you see them. Please ask them where they stand on this issue,and inform Julie, Cheryl or Rita of any feedback you receive. See below for names and addresses. 3. Write a "Letter to the Editor" about this issue. Send it to"This Week"and the"Sun Current"for possible publication. This is another way to alert all Eagan residents to this issue. 4. Call one of us listed below to volunteer to help in this effort. In particular,we need people to make Council meeting attendance reminder phone calls the week before the 4/21 meeting, and to get petition signatures. Contact one of the following for further information: Phone Email address Julie Johnson 452-2227 None Cheryl Gonzalez 454-5641 Gonzo97C,gte.net Rita Tester 452-7342 Ritatestgaol.com Please help save the existing format and character of our neighborhoods.

I have no opposition to the development, but the plan has raised the issue of connecting the northern and southern sections of Wescott Hills Drive. I live in Sunrise Hills and oppose connecting the road. The proposed connection would create a through street from Yankee Doodle Road to Wescott. This would include creation of a long straight-away bordering the Carriage Hills golf course. People drive fast down long straight sections of road, it's only human nature. Traffic will be moving into our neighborhood at speeds of 40-50 mph until they are slowed down by the first several curves. I cannot think of another location in Eagan where a long straight-away feeds directly into a residential neighborhood. Another problem is the large amount of golf course traffic will be routed through our neighborhood. I know from first hand experience that some drivers speed down the northern half of Wescott Hills Drive. Golfers are sometimes late for their tee times, and others may have had a few beers during their golf game. The last thing on their minds is driving slowly through some neighborhood. There will also be additional traffic pressure from the 38 homes built in the new development. Nearby Lexington and Elrene are better designed to handle north/south through traffic. Safety for children is a primary concern, and more traffic is not what we need. Sunrise Hills is a family neighborhood immediately adjacent to Woodland Elementary school and Mueller Farm Park. There is a school crossing connecting the Woodlands and Sunrise Hills to the school. Sunrise Hills was developed without sidewalks, it is hard for me to image kids riding bikes or walking to school down a busy street. The connection of Wescott Hills Drive was on the master plan, but plans change! Royal Oaks Realty is proposing to eliminate a planned east/west street that would pass through their development! They also want to eliminate traffic by dead ending their street. There is strong consensus among the neighbors of Sunrise Hills and the Woodlands that this connection should not be made. A alternative suggestion is to connect the street with a walldng/bike path that could be used by emergency vehicles if necessary. This is a great compromise plan that eliminates through traffic, yet joins the neighborhoods and allows for passage in the event of an emergency. Thank you for your consideration David S. Sundry X 3623 Wescott Hills Drive April 14, 1998 Dear Mayor Egan, I'm writing to express my concerns to the proposed road improvements to WESCOTT HILLS DRIVE. I OBJECT to Wescott Hills Dr. being connected to form a through street from Yankee Doodle Rd. to Wescott Rd.. Enclosed, please find photos of the cross-walk that connects the neighborhood to Mueller Farm Park and to Woodland Elementary School, I think making Wescott Hills Dr. a through street would threaten the safety of the children, who walk or bike to school or the playground with the increased traffic it would bring. Wescott Hills Dr. should be a safe street and safe cross-walk for the people who live in the Woodlands and Sunrise Hills neighborhoods, not a through street leading to a commercial Golf Course. Please consider making a permanent cul- de-sac at the proposed connection site, so that the safety of the neighborhood children that walk, ride bikes or use the cross-walk path can be respected and remain our 1St priority.

Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MN 55122-1897 Re: Wescott Hills Drive Connection Proposal - April 24, 1998 Meeting Dear Mayor Egan: The purpose of this letter is to write to you regarding my objections to the proposal which has Wescott Hills Drive (WHD) becoming connected to form a through street from Yankee Doodle Road to Wescott Road as part of the road improvement process for the currently unpaved part of WHD. I have been an Eagan resident and home owner for almost 20 years. For the last 7 years I have lived on Wescott Hills Drive in Sunrise Hills. In fact, Eagan is the only community in which I have ever been a home owner. Since moving here in 1978, there has been a tremendous amount of development, especially within the last 10 to 12 years, that has resulted in wonderful neighborhoods including those nearby Wescott Hills Drive. I enjoy living in Sunrise Hills with my family and plan to live here for many years to come. However, I believe that the proposed connection described above would be detrimental to the neighborhood 's quality of life for the following reasons. Increased traffic. The connection will result in increased traffic for everyone who lives on or even near Wescott Hills Drive. I live near the south end of Wescott Hills Drive close to Wescott Road. I already have a lot of traffic that goes by my house and I don 't want more. I have heard city staff asking why people on my end of the street wouldn 't want to see the connection approved. Apparently they think that the amount of traffic will be reduced 50: with a thoroughfare to Yankee Doodle Road. Naturally, some of the current traffic will be diverted north but I believe a connection would bring in new traffic. As an example, every summer as I am working in my front yard, there are at least three or four vehicles that pull up and ask for directions to Carriage Hills Golf Course. If a connection is made, there will be a lot of new traffic going to the golf course. There will be traffic from the north that will use the connection as a thoroughfare to the middle and high schools and ball fields. North Ridge residents already experience a lot of that kind of traffic. Many people in Sunrise Hills use North Ridge for those reasons although some feel guilty for doing that but it is more convenient. Lexington, Elrene and Highway 149 are major north and south thoroughfares for this part of Eagan. A neighborhood street, such as WHD, was not designed for a thoroughfare. WHD does not have sidewalks or pathways, is too narrow, and is a winding street. Unlike the thoroughfares mentioned, the houses directly face WHD. City staff has said there has been a long range plan for many years to do a connection although that is disputed by some long time residents. However, for the sake of argument, if that was in the city's plan, the fact remains that the WHD was was not designed or built as a thoroughfare. Long range plans in government as well as business change overtime and you must look at a current situation to see if a plan made many years ago still makes sense today. Today 's residents of the city cannot be locked into a plan that was thought to be prudent 10, 15 or 20 years ago if the plan is not prudent today. n City staff has stated that it is a city policy to interconnect neighborhoods g whenever possible. WHD is already connected with several neighborhoods. Connecting WHD would be too much and could have an adverse effect. The additional traffic with the connection of WHD could make, especially for people who live on the street, feel less like a neiahborhood and therefore less connected_ Safety of children. As I stated above, the south end of WHD already has a lot of traffic. Neighborhood children and families walk and ride bikes to Woodland Elementary School and the Mueller Farm Park with its soccer and baseball fields and playground equipment. There are no sidewalks or paths. Additional traffic would create even more concerns for the safety of our children. In order to secure their safety, a neighbor was told by the school district that they would have to be bused to Pinewood Elementary, which is 2-3 miles away. That is extremely impractical. That means children would not be attending their neighborhood school. Taxpayers would be wasting school funding on busing and furthermore, traffic on WHD would be increased, which is the very thing the WHD neighborhood is trying to avoid. If a connection is not made, an issue about access for safety and emergency vehicles for the northern portion of WHD has been made. In this situation I have difficulty in understanding how those circumstances would exist. First, there are other streets that have only one means of access. For example, Great Oaks, which is directly northeast of the Woodlands, is .4 mile long with only one access. Secondly, people who currently live on the north end of WHD have never known a situation when having only one access created a problem. Finally, the south end of WHD and its neighbors, which has been in existence for approximately 10 years, is being asked to sacrifice its safety due to additional traffic for the safety of the new Royal Oaks development. If access for safety reasons is really a valid concern, then the question that should be asked is whether the new development should be approved when it doesn 't wish to go along with the city 's recommendation to be connected with Shade Tree Court to Trails End. The developer has selfishly admitted that the Trails End connection would allow him to build the expensive homes that he desires. Generally, people neighboring the Royal Oaks development are in favor of it, but not if it is going to adversely affect other neighborhoods ' safety. I ask that you vote against any proposal that would connect Wescott Hills Drive. I feel so strongly on this issue that I am sending this to the Mayor and the other members of the City Council. There is no overwhelming reason to do a WHD connection. I ask that you listen to the people who live on or near WHD. These are the people who are directly affected by the proposed connection and they are almost unanimously against it. I would like to know what your position is on this issue. Please either write or call me and feel free to leave a message on my answering machine or voice mail if you don ' t catch me in person. I do want to know how you plan to vote. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. 1 look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Richard L. Tester 452-7342 (evening) 296-5596 (day) g t _- April 5, 1998 The Honorable Tom Egan 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MN 55122-1897 Dear Mayor Egan, We have lived in Eagan for 10 years on Wescott Hills Drive, and have seen the rapid and wide spread growth throughout our community. Traffic has certainly changed over that ten years, and will certainly continue to be more of a problem. Our concern is with the possibility of Wescott Hills Drive becoming a through street between Yankee Doodle and Wescott Road. This was certainly not designed as a through street to handle a large volume of traffic, such as Lexington or Elrene. Our neighborhood has an abundance of children, which is evident just in the number of basketball hoops in the driveways. We believe their safety would be compromised with the proposed change in Wescott Hills Drive. Normal golf course and high school traffic alone would change the traffic flow tremendously, and endanger our neighborhoods children. Eagan doesn't need more shortcuts, it needs to start protecting the life style that originally drew people to live here. Please eliminate the proposed plan for the changes on Wescott Hills Drive. Thank you for your consideration of this matter. Sincerely, Frank and Joanne Caldwell 3761 Wescott Hills Drive 456-9611 March 27, 1998 Mayor Toni Egan 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MN 55122 Dear Mayor Egan : I am writing in regard to the future of Wescott Hills Drive . I understand that there is some discussion of making Wescott Hills Drive a through street . I am opposed to the development of Wescott Hills Drive into a through street . My reasons are : 1 . Concern over the safety of the children in the Sunrise Hills and Woodland developments Many children cross this street daily to attend school and to play in the park . They must cross Wescott Hills Drive; it is the only way to go west to the school and park . Making Wescott Hills Drive a through street would endanger the lives o.f many children . 2 . Design of Wescott Hills Drive The street has many curves on it which makes it hard to see pedestrians; a through street would make it much worse due to the increased number and speed of traffic . 3 . Increased crime Making Wescott Hills Drive a through street would increase traffic from Yankee Doodle; this could increase the amount of crime on our. street . Studies have shown an increase in drug dealings on streets with easy escapes such as through streets . Cul-de-sacs decrease such crimes . 4 . Close vicinity of existing through streets Lexington Drive is less than 4000 feet from Wescott Hills- Drive illsDrive and Elrene Road is less than 2000 feet away. I see no reason to make Wescott Hills Drive a through street with the proximity of these other �.treets which were designed for through traffic . 5 . Traffic to Eagan High School Student who live close to the northern part of Wescott Hills Drive in the Wescott Square development and in other areas would use Wescott Hills Drive as a short-cut to and from school . This would greatly increase traffic through a neighborhool which is home to rnany children . I hope you will consider these issues when making your decision . I see no reason to make Wescott Hills Drive a through street . Sinncerely; Jerry ;Fazlee Eagan` Advisory Parks CO1TtmiSsioner 3694 Wescott Hills Drive Eagan, MN 55123 phone : 454-1927 h March 17, 1998 :Mayor Tom Egan 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MN 55122-1897 Dear Mayor Egan: I am writing in regard to the future of Wescott Hills Drive. I recently attended a meeting where the developer for the Royal Oaks Division explained that Wescott Hills Drive is being considered for an"upgrade" to a through-street. I am opposed to the development of Wescott Hills Drive into a through-street. My reasons are: 1. Concerns over the safety of the children in the Sunrise Hills and the Woodland developments. With Woodland Elementary and Mueller Farm park adjacent to Wescott Hills Drive, we have a unique situation with this street. Many children cross the street each day on their way to and from school or the park. To make Wescott Hills Drive a through- street would be to create an unsafe neighborhood for the children in Sunrise Hills and the Woodlands. 2. Design of Wescott Hills Drive. This street does not appear to be designed as a through-street. Other through- streets are straight and wide, with houses either backing up to the street (for example, Lexington Drive) or placed far back from the street (Wescott Road, Elrene, Northridge) Wescott Hills Drive has curves, is too narrow to accommodate parked cars and increased traffic, and has houses close to and facing the street. 3. Existence of a commercial business at the end of Wescott Hills Drive. Carriage Hills Golf Course at the northern end of Wescott Hills Drive brings additional traffic to the street. I can only think of a few similar examples in Eagan (Rahn Road, Nicols Road, Diflley Road); these examples have houses placed far back from the street, and in some examples, have a"frontage road" between the homes and the through- street. Neither of these solutions is an option for Wescott Hills Drive. 4. Speed limit on through-streets. The nearest through-streets to Wescott Hills Drive have speed limits of 45-50 miles per hour. People expect a faster speed limit on a through-street, and worse yet, they will travel at a faster speed despite posted signs. I am concerned about the safety of the neighborhood residents, especially the children as they walk to school or the park. I hope that you will consider the safety issues that I've outlined in my letter and will listen to the concerns of the neighborhood residents when deciding the future of Wescott Hills Drive. I ask that you vote against a through-street on Wescott Hills Drive. If you would like to discuss my views over the telephone or in person, please contact me. I can be reached at 454-1927. Thank you for your time and consideration of a very important issue to the children and parents in the Sunrise Hills and Woodland developments.

PROJECT 669, NORTHWOOD PARKWAY RING ROAD ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To authorize the Official Mapping of the Northwood Parkway segment of the Ring Road concept. FACTS: • Since 1985, the City has recognized the growing congestion in the I-35E, Yankee Doodle Road and Pilot Knob Road intersections. Maximizing the capacity with physical improvements to the existing roadway system will still not accommodate the ultimate traffic volumes associated with full development in this area. • In 1991, the City Council amended the Transportation Plan Element of the Comprehensive Guide Plan to identify the future ring-road concept. A segment of this ring road consists of the extension of Northwood Parkway over I-35E connecting Lexington Avenue with Pilot Knob Road at the existing intersection of High Site Drive. • With the recent development of the Eagan Promenade and the Denmark Avenue/Northwood Parkway segment of this ring-road concept, a planned alignment of the Northwood Parkway overpass and its connection to Pilot Knob Road has been refined. It consists of constructing a new roadway from the High Site Drive intersection with a curve to the southeast along the edge of Glen Pond. This alignment is compatible with the most efficient and economical placement of a freeway overpass bridge and future signalization of High Site Drive at Pilot Knob Road. • Staff has received a letter from the owner of the Glen Pond Apartments indicating his intent to expand the current Glen Pond Apartment complex into the undeveloped land incorporating the proposed Northwood Parkway ring-road alignment. • The owner/developer has requested the Mayor and City Council to formalize their intent regarding the future Northwood Parkway ring-road segment. • According to Minnesota Statute 462.359, the City is entitled to designate and reserve land needed for future roadway improvements if they create an "Official Map" which entails a formal survey filed with the County Recorder. This action preserves the corridor similar to what MnDOT did during the planning stages of I-35E. • If the Council desires to follow the current Comprehensive Guide Plan, it would be appropriate to authorize the preservation of this corridor by preparing an official map. If the Council chooses not to preserve this corridor, it should amend its Comprehensive Guide Plan and remove the Northwood Parkway overpass from the ring-road design concept.

I, LARRY WENZEL, AS OWNER OF THE GLEN POND APARTMENTS AND LOT 1, BLOCK 2, EFFRESS ADDITION ; LAND WHICH WOULD BE DIVIDED BY THE PROPOSED "RING ROAD", AM IN THE PROCESS OF FINALIZING DESIGN DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR PHASE=OF GLEN POND APARTMENTS. I WAS INFORMED ON FRIDAY APRIL 10, 1998, OF THE CITY OF EAGANS PROPOSED "RING ROAD" AND IT'S CURRENTLY PROPOSED ALIGNMENT. THIS ALIGNMENT NEGATIVELY IMPACTS MY ABILITY TO COMPLETE PHASE 11 AND MAXIMIZE THE USE OF MY LAND. ALL ASPECTS OF MY FEASIBILITY WORK INDICATE THAT OUR TIMING IN COMPLETING PHASE IL(INCLUDING THE MVENDING CONSTRUCTION SEASON), IS EXTREMELY FAVORABLE AT THIS TIME AND IN THIS MARKET. WE NOW MUST STOP OUR DESIGN DEVELOPMENT DECISION MAKING PROCESS UNTIL THE CITY OF EAGAN MAKES IT'S DECISION REGARDING THE PROPOSED "RING ROAD" ON MY LAND. I HAVE INCLUDED A COPY OF OUR PRELIMINARY CONCEPT SITE PLAN WITH THE PROPOSED "RING ROAD" SHOWN IN ITS APPROXIMATE PROPOSED LOCATION FOR YOUR REVIEW.
