Advisory Parks Commission March 21, 2016 Page 9 AGENDA ITEM: VII.A – SummerBrooke Development TO: Advisory Parks Commission PREPARED BY: Jared Flewellen, Assistant Director of Parks & Recreation PROPOSAL: DR Horton, Inc, is proposing a Preliminary Subdivision to create 33 single-family lots upon approximately 15 acres located at 775 and 785 Diffley Road. BACKGROUND/EXISTING CONDITIONS: The two unplatted parcels abut existing single-family homes to the north, east and west and Diffley Road (County Road 28) makes up the southern boundary. The two parcels total 15 acres and each contains a single family home constructed in the late 1960’s. The parcels contain areas that are heavily treed and the western half of the subject site contains significant topography with slopes that contribute to a 55’ total change in elevation within the site. Elevations range from approximately 957’ to 903’. A wetland exists in the north-central portion of the development site. PARK AND TRAIL DEDICATIONS: Parks Background – With this subdivision, the development is responsible for park and trail dedication. The City has the option of requiring a land dedication (equal to 10% of the subject site) or a cash dedication based on the adopted rates in effect at the time of Final Subdivision approval. Land dedications to satisfy the dedication requirements are generally requested when there is the opportunity to expand an existing parks space, create a park in an area identified as underserved or to protect a unique natural resource. It appears that none of these criteria are applicable with this development thus a cash dedication to satisfy the Park dedication requirement appears appropriate. Fees collected for park dedication are retained in a dedicated fund that can be used only for park improvement projects within the City, as approved by the City Council. Calculation Total individual units as proposed (minus existing) 31 2016 Per Unit Rate $3,475 Single Family MEMO Date: March 21, 2016 Agenda Item: VII.A – SummerBrooke Action: X Information: X Attachments: X ITEM OVERVIEW: Review the parks dedication, trails dedication, tree preservation, water quality and wetlands issues that pertain to the development. Advisory Parks Commission March 21, 2016 Page 10 Total Cash Dedication due $107,725 Trails Background – The City has recognized that the provision of a City wide, non-motorized trail system has health, safety and transportation benefits for residents. The trail system is intended to provide links to commercial districts, schools, recreational facilities and points of interest throughout the City. Opportunities to link with the regionalized trail system are also developed when feasible. To this end the City has adopted a policy and procedures for collecting a Trail Dedication fee, or an equivalent area of land intended for a trail in lieu of a fee, during the development process. An additional option to satisfy the dedication requirement is a credit for the development of trails determined to have “public value” and that are consistent with the City trail plan. The credit is calculated upon a per lineal foot multiplier that includes current construction costs. Given the location of the Development a credit for the development of new trail sections may be appropriate. The credit cannot exceed the dedication due. There is one sidewalk proposed with this development: • Along the new public street accessing the Development site, connecting with the extension of Barrow Trail = 300 feet. Calculation Total individual units as proposed (minus existing) 31 2016 Per unit trail dedication rate $250 Trail dedication due $7,750 Potential credit Public value trail length 300 Construction multiplier/lin ft $31.20 Total Trail Credit $9,360 Total Cash Trail Dedication due $0.00 TREE PRESERVATION: This development’s tree preservation will be considered on a multiple-lot, residential type of application. Per the City of Eagan Tree Preservation Ordinance allowable tree removal for this type of development proposal is set at 40.0%. A tree inventory has been submitted with this application and then field verified by city staff. The tree inventory indicates that there were six-hundred forty (640) significant trees currently existing on site. According to plan submittal, significant tree impacts resulted in the removal of five-hundred fifty-three (553) significant trees (86.4% of the total). Advisory Parks Commission March 21, 2016 Page 11 Because the proposed removal of significant trees is more than allowable there is required tree mitigation. Tree mitigation for this application as proposed calculates to three-hundred fifty-four (354) Category A trees (or an equivalent combination of Category B and/or C trees). An equivalent cash mitigation amount for this mitigation would be approximately $212,400.00. The applicant has submitted a Tree Mitigation Plan that indicates the installation of two-hundred sixty- one (261) Category A trees. This leaves a balance of 93 Category A trees or a cash equivalent of $55,800.00. The applicant has acknowledged that the tree mitigation balance will be fulfilled through cash payment. WATER QUALITY/WETLANDS: WETLANDS Because there a classified wetland on the site, Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act Rules (Minn. Rules Ch. 8420) and Eagan’s wetland protection and management regulations (City Code §11.67) apply to this development proposal. Accordingly, a Certified Wetland Delineator must delineate the wetland boundary on the property, and the developer must submit a complete application and delineation report for City approval of the wetland boundary. In addition, because the developer is proposing to impact the entire wetland by filling, the developer must submit a complete application and wetland replacement plan for City approval. Neither application has been received nor has the City approved a delineation report of the wetland boundary and a wetland replacement plan. Therefore, the current proposal does not yet meet Minn. Rules Ch. 8420 and City Code §11.67 requirements. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT/WATER QUALITY The applicant proposes to add approximately 33 single family residential lots and two streets (one a through street and one cul-de-sac street), resulting in the creation of approximately 4.32-acres of new impervious surface, with an additional 9.13-acres of disturbed/graded soils to be revegetated, on the 13.6-acre site. This development will need to comply with the City’s Post Construction Stormwater Management Requirements (City Code §4.34) for stormwater management and surface water quality, including Runoff Rate Control and 1.1” Volume Control (which includes soil permeability restoration). The applicant proposes to meet City water quality/stormwater requirements through the on-site construction of one wet-basin/sediment forebay (for pre-treatment), one infiltration basin, and soil remediation for the top 12” of soil for 9.13-acre of disturbed/graded soil areas that are proposed to be revegetated pervious surfaces. The majority of the site’s impervious is proposed to drain into the planned wet-basin/forebay, which would then overflow into the planned infiltration basin. When the infiltration basin is at maximum capacity (capturing the 1.1” event volume), additional stormwater would be redirected and discharge into JP-27 (an off-site stormwater wetland). The stormwater management system of this proposed development would ultimately become publicly managed. Advisory Parks Commission March 21, 2016 Page 12 Eagan Water Resources has reviewed the applicant’s plans, stormwater design summary and modeling provided for stormwater management and finds the proposed plans to meet City Code §4.34 Post- Construction Stormwater Management Requirements are acceptable with conditions to ensure infiltration capacity and capability, effective pre-treatment, effective soil remediation to restore soil permeability (on all disturbed soils that are to be revegetated), construction techniques, staging and oversight, and future maintenance for continued function. ACTIONS TO BE CONSIDERED: 1. Recommend this development shall be subject to a cash parks dedication payable at the time of Final Subdivision at the rates then in effect. 2. The Development shall be responsible for the construction of 300 feet of “public sidewalk”, consistent with the development plans and City specifications, for which a credit of $9,360 shall be applied towards the $7,750 Trail Dedication due. 3. The applicant shall fulfill current tree mitigation requirements through the installation of two- hundred sixty-one (261) Category A trees and with a cash payment of $55,800.00. 4. This development shall meet all requirements of Minn. Rules Ch. 8420 and City Code §11.67 regarding the wetland boundary and a proposed wetland replacement plan. 5. This development shall meet the City’s Post Construction Stormwater Management Requirements (City Code §4.34) for stormwater management and surface water quality, including Runoff Rate Control and 1.1” Volume Control on the site’s new impervious surface area (including effective soil remediation for the site’s disturbed soils that are to be revegetated). 6. The applicant shall provide adequately sized pre-treatment (e.g. forebay, etc.) at, or immediately upstream of, all stormwater management facility (e.g. infiltration basin) inlets to provide for effective capture and easily-accessible cleanout of fine-sand sized particles and floatable pollutants. Details shall be included in applicable plan sheet(s). 7. The applicant shall provide unobstructed equipment access paths (without obstructions from grading, private utilities, trees/branches, large shrubs, etc.), from street-edge to all surface stormwater facilities’ inlets/outlets. The unobstructed equipment access path (e.g. 15’ width reinforced turf system from street edge to both forebay inlet areas) shall be capable of fully supporting typical maintenance / excavation equipment, for periodic maintenance access to the surface storm water facilities. Verify that Landscape Plan does not conflict with this requirement. 8. Prior to receiving city approval to permit land disturbing activity, the applicant shall provide the City with soil boring logs from a minimum of four soil-borings within any proposed infiltration area, extending a minimum of 10’ below the bottom of the proposed infiltration feature, to evaluate and ensure suitability for infiltration. If the soil boring logs indicate incompatibility of existing sub-soil permeability with the submitted and reviewed design plans for meeting volume control requirements, the applicant shall revise the design and/or construction plans (e.g. over-excavation/soil-amendment depth, etc.) to ensure volume control requirements are fully met. Advisory Parks Commission March 21, 2016 Page 13 9. Prior to receiving city approval to permit land disturbing activity, the applicant shall provide construction details of the proposed infiltration system for City review/acceptance by the City Engineer and include in construction plans. Construction details shall include infiltration basin cross-section(s), construction sequencing/protection/restoration notes, sizing/volume tables, details for stable inlets/outlets/emergency overflows, unobstructed inspection/maintenance access areas to inlets/outlets, soil amendment criteria, live planting/seeding/temporary & permanent erosion-control details, etc., to ensure infiltration practice is properly designed, constructed, planted, and adequately protected during / after construction to prevent clogging, and able to be properly maintained (e.g. unobstructed equipment access, etc.) to function as intended. These graphical details and notes shall be prominently included in all applicable plan sheets (e.g. Grading Plan, Utility Plan, etc.). 10. Prior to receiving city approval to permit land disturbing activity, the property owner shall provide detailed Soil Management Strategies for City review, and acceptance by the City Engineer, that provide clear assurances that by final grading, prior to installation of any irrigation and plantings, the disturbed areas that are to be revegetated will have protected and/or restored soil permeability to non-compacted soil conditions in the top 12” of soil with no less than 5% soil organic matter content and less than 200 psi of soil compaction in the top 12” of topsoil, to comply with Volume Control requirements. These graphical details and notes on soil protection/restoration shall be included in the Stormwater Management Plan and prominently included in all applicable plan sheets (e.g. Erosion & Sediment Control Plan, Grading & Drainage Plan, Landscape Plan, etc.). 11. Prior to receiving a Certificate of Occupancy for any affected residential construction, Soil Management Strategy implementation documentation (e.g. representative on-site soil samples, compaction testing and soil organic content test results) shall be provided to City Water Resources staff to verify approved soil management strategy compliance. 12. During infiltration system area over-excavation/sub-soil work, the applicant shall ensure that a Certified Soil Scientist will be present to verify and document that practice area sub-soils are suitable for a saturated condition infiltration rate of 1-inch per hour or greater (but less than 8.0-inch per hour). If the sub-soil infiltration rates are less than 1-inch per hour (or greater than 8.0-inch per hour), the applicant shall immediately notify the City Engineer and revise the volume control practice(s) as necessary (e.g. over-excavation/soil-amendment depth, etc.) to ensure volume control requirements are fully met. Documentation shall be provided to the City within 48-hours after infiltration testing. The applicant shall provide the City Water Resources staff with 24-hour advance notice of the occurrence of infiltration verifications and also prior to any excavation and/or soil backfilling within the infiltration practice. 13. Before the city returns any Stormwater-related Performance Guarantee Fees on the development site, the applicant shall provide the City Engineer as-built plans that demonstrate that all constructed stormwater conveyance structures, stormwater management facilities (forebay, infiltration practice, etc.), and soil management strategies conform to design and/or construction plans, as approved by the City. As-built volumes (for retention) shall be provided for the forebay and infiltration practice. The applicant shall submit to the City Engineer certification that the stormwater management facilities have been installed in accord with the plans and specifications approved.

A strong and active park system is a key component to enjoying a high quality of life. This system also plays a crucial role in protecting natural resources for future generations. The City of Eagan has built a comprehensive park system over the last 60 years, providing spaces for its residents to recreate, exercise, learn, gather together, and enjoy nature and solitude. As demographics, recreation trends, and environmental conditions in Eagan continue to evolve and change, a flexible and adaptable park system plan is necessary to meet changing needs. This update to the Parks and Recreation System Plan is part of the City of Eagan’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update. It builds upon the Eagan Park Plans (1983 & 1995), the 20/20 Vision Plan for Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (2006), and the City’s recently completed Eagan Forward (2016) vision plan. Goals and Policies Cities are dynamic places that continue to evolve in response to ever changing economic conditions and resident needs and desires. While change is expected to occur, the exact drivers and outcomes are not certain. Therefore, the following goals and policies for Parks and Recreation provide an overarching vision for Eagan. Future park programming and facility improvements should strive to meet these objectives. 1. Provide Healthy Living Opportunities Year-Round ▶Provide both active and passive recreation facilities and programming. ▶Support and facilitate trails, sidewalks, and on-street bikeways for recreation and transportation. ▶Support access to and growth of healthy foods. ▶Preserve and restore habitat for plants and animals. ▶Minimize environmental impacts of park facilities and maintenance activities. 2. Continue Wise Use of Available Resources ▶Maintain facilities to improve life cycle costs. ▶Research and obtain alternative sources of funding. ▶Optimize facility programming, without causing damage due to overuse. ▶Design facilities to ensure highest and best use over the life of the facility. Advisory Parks Commission March 21, 2016 Page 28 Parks and Recreation | 5-3 City of Eagan Comprehensive Plan 3. Offer Education and Enrichment Programming ▶Include opportunities to participate in the arts, historic interpretation, personal improvement, and social activities. ▶Use various media options to raise resident awareness of available recreation opportunities provided by City and other agency providers. 4. Deliver Parks and Recreation for all City Residents ▶Ensure access, programs, and facilities for all (age, income, and physical ability). ▶Track recreation trends, along with existing and projected resident demographics, to tailor recreation facilities and offerings that respond to changing interests and needs. ▶Provide geographic distribution of facilities or convenient and safe travel options to facilities. 5. Coordinate and Collaborate with Related Recreation Providers ▶Optimize facilities and collaborate on programs with other community agencies. ▶Enhance facilities in partnership with user organizations. Advisory Parks Commission March 21, 2016 Page 29 City of Eagan Comprehensive Plan5-4 | Parks and Recreation Demographic and Recreation Trends By 2040, Eagan’s population is projected to rise by 7,000, and exceed 72,000. Along with a rise in population, Eagan will also see an increased percentage of the population aged 65 and older. As Eagan’s baby boomer generation enters retirement age, the parks and recreation system should strive to address the changing demands of this age group. During this time period, Eagan will also experience increased racial, ethnic, and income diversity that will require a more diverse park and recreation system. These changes have implications for park programming offered as well as types of park facilities and fields available. Demographic Trends The following charts and maps highlight historic and projected demographic trends. In order to provide a parks and recreation system that meets the needs of all residents, it is crucial to examine how the population is expected to change and what the park system demands will be in the future. Between 2000 and 2015, the population remained relatively steady, growing by just 1,000. By 2040, however, Eagan’s population is projected to increase by over 7,000. With population growth comes more park users, and a potential need to reconfigure existing parks or acquire additional park land to meet increased demands. 45,000 50,000 55,000 60,000 65,000 70,000 75,000 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035 2040 To t a l P o p u l a t i o n Year Actual Population Forecast Population Population (Actual and Projected) 63,560 64,200 64,700 67,400 69,800 72,300 Population (Actual and Projected) Advisory Parks Commission March 21, 2016 Page 30 Parks and Recreation | 5-5 City of Eagan Comprehensive Plan 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% 1990 2000 2010 2013 Pe r c e n t o f T o t a l P o p u l a t i o n Year Under 18 18 to 64 65 and Over Age Distribution Age Distribution 0 1,000 2,000 3,000 4,000 5,000 6,000 7,000 8,000 Under 5years 5 to 9years 10 to 14years 15 to 19years 20 to 24years 25 to 29years 30 to 34years 35 to 39years 40 to 44years 45 to 49years 50 to 54years 55 to 59years 60 to 64years 65 to 69years 70 to 74years 75 to 79years 80 to 84years 85 to 89years 90 yearsand over Po p u l a t i o n 1990 2000 2010 2013 Since 1990, the percentage of the population aged 18 to 64 has not changed significantly, while the under 18 age cohort has slightly decreased. The percentage of the population 65 and over, however, has nearly quadrupled. With older residents representing more of the population, the City may need to increase parks and recreation opportunities catered to this age group. Age Distribution (by Percent of Population) The highest spikes in the graph above represent the baby boomer population as they aged between 1990 and 2013. One can predict from this chart that the spike associated with the baby boomer generation, while slightly decreasing in intensity, will move into the 65 and older age groups.

These housing units will continue to be attractive to young families. As the 65 and over age group is expected to increase in the next few decades, Eagan may see a higher demand for senior living complexes and/or affordable housing units. Housing Stock Values (2014) Advisory Parks Commission March 21, 2016 Page 33 City of Eagan Comprehensive Plan5-8 | Parks and Recreation Housing Stock Values Housing Stock Values Most of the residential land is comprised of single family detached housing units, but there are many pockets of townhomes, apartment rentals, and senior housing units primarily on the west side of the city. These housing types indicate pockets of higher population density, with potentially increased recreation demand and/or different recreation needs. Residential Housing Types Advisory Parks Commission March 21, 2016 Page 34 Parks and Recreation | 5-9 City of Eagan Comprehensive Plan Minority Population Distribution 2000 2010 2013 Eagan has seen a rise in minority populations since 2000, primarily on the west side of I-35E. This changing demographic may suggest a changing demand for park space and types of recreational opportunities located in this area. The City has already begun to receive requests for changes in park programs offered (e.g. preschool for younger age groups).

The percent of the population from Asian, Black or African American, and Hispanic or Latino descent has substantially increased between 1990 and 2013. Eagan has already seen an increase in the number of languages spoken at community events or preschool programs. Diverse populations may have diverse needs for parks and recreation programs. Race / Ethnicity In line with the trend seen in the last few decades, the diversity of Eagan’s population is projected to continue rising between now and 2040. Residents of Asian descent and those that identify with two or more races will see the largest increase in population. The City should continue to monitor the potential changes in demand associated with increasingly diverse user groups.

While still a small percentage of the overall population, since 2000, this number has more than doubled from 2.9 to 6.9 percent of the population. The poverty line was defined as an income of $8,350 for an individual in 2000, and as $11,490 for an individual in 2013. The poverty line definitions are updated annually by the Department of Health and Human Services and are based on the total household income and household size.

Some of the predominant recreation trends that will influence the evolution of the Eagan park system are summarized below. Time Constraints Convenience has become a top priority in recreation as people feel day-to-day time constraints with increasingly busy schedules. Many residents are spending more hours commuting and less time at home. Flexible after-school programs and recreation opportunities are in high demand. Lifestyle Changes Integrating fitness, healthy eating, and stress-relieving activities into our daily lives is a growing trend. Biking to work is becoming more common, and new fitness opportunities are rising both in and out of the workplace. There is also a shift toward a “sharing economy,” with rental bicycles and car-sharing options popping up throughout the metro region. Environmental Awareness General awareness of our environmental impact continues to increase. Residents are showing interest in sustainability, and native plantings or rain gardens are becoming more commonplace in residential yards. Nature, natural areas, and green infrastructure are growing in importance. Many are choosing biking, walking, or public transit to reduce the environmental impacts associated with transportation. Special Use Facilities Park system facilities are in high demand for a wide range of year-round programming. Facility uses include outdoor and indoor gathering space, daycare accommodations, art and cultural programming, as well as aquatics facilities. Athletic Field Use Athletic fields are generally seeing more programming for soccer, lacrosse, rugby, hurling, and Ultimate Frisbee. These sports are rising in popularity while softball and baseball are declining. Park land dedicated to ball fields may be underutilized while more flexible field space will be seeing higher demand and perhaps overuse. Life Sports Life sports are those that can be played at any age, and are popular for maintaining life-long health and fitness. Park land and facilities dedicated to life sports are generally well used by residents of all ages. Examples of life sports include biking, kayaking, tennis, swimming, walking, running, golf, and foot golf. New Recreation A variety of new recreation activities are gaining popularity. These include slacklining, paddle boarding, paddle board yoga, dog-centric recreation, boot camps, fun runs, hammocking, skateboarding, and disc golf. Advisory Parks Commission March 21, 2016 Page 39 City of Eagan Comprehensive Plan5-14 | Parks and Recreation Winter Recreation Winter recreation activities are important with Minnesota’s climate. Winter facilities include indoor and outdoor skating rinks (hockey and pleasure skating), ice skating trails, tubing hill, and ski trails. With these activities, it is important to consider tubing hill liabilities, lighting ski or skate trails, and using snow-making facilities and/or refrigerated rinks. Seniors and Baby Boomers As the baby boomer population enters the 65 and older age cohort, there will be a strong demand for recreation tailored to this group. Staying active through either informal or organized recreation is important for seniors and baby boomers. Popular activities include walking, photography, birding, and gardening. Millennials Millennials are those born between the early 1980s to early 2000s. Residents in this age group grew up as technology made rapid advancements, and they are considered “digital natives.” Photo sharing and geo-tagging often accompany recreation activities with this generation. This age group also tends to favor dog-friendly activities and park land that is flexible for group activities and exercise. Safety and Security Perception of safety is essential to a person’s willingness to use a space. Safe parks feature adequate lighting, clear and understandable signage, clear sightlines, and programmed activities to encourage use of the park during both the day and evening. Operations and Maintenance Operations and maintenance are both fundamental to a successful park system. Demand for higher quality facilities, as well as facilities that can accommodate year-round use will have an impact on maintenance needs and operations staff. Adjustments to current operations and maintenance systems may be necessary in order to adapt to a need to do more with less as well as increase efficiencies.

The chart above shows the average number of participants per day the rink is open. Outdoor Ice Rink Use (Overall) The five parks highlighted in the following charts are the next neighborhood parks in Eagan scheduled for updating. Recreation trends at these parks were charted and discussed with City staff to determine if recreation trends at these parks would inform future upgrades. Hockey is the predominant use of outdoor ice rinks in Eagan, but is generally decreasing. Use of outdoor ice rinks for pleasure shows mixed trends in the past 5 years.

The City also does senior programming at select senior living facilities within the community. Shelter Programs: Adult / Senior Participation Advisory Parks Commission March 21, 2016 Page 44 Parks and Recreation | 5-19 City of Eagan Comprehensive Plan Existing Conditions Standards and Classifications The City of Eagan uses a park classification system that is organized by intended service areas and associated facility uses. For example, highly specialized uses, such as water parks and ice arenas, are typically intended to service the entire community. More standardized facilities, such a play equipment or tennis courts, are primarily intended to service the surrounding neighborhood (typically 1/2 mile radius around the park). Descriptions of the City’s ten park classifications follow. Neighborhood Common Intended to serve specific neighborhoods within medium to high density residential areas that can not be adequately served by a traditional neighborhood park due to physical limitations or access constraints. In certain circumstances, the park may be privately operated. Generally, 1 to 4 acres in size with limited amenities that may include a play structure, hard court and some seating, ¼ mile service area. The amenities may be specific to the needs of the surrounding neighborhood. Neighborhood Park Provides for a variety active and passive, formal and informal activities, within a park space easily accessible from a defined neighborhood service area, generally ¾ of a mile. Distribution is throughout the community. Amenities may include ball fields, skating rinks, warming house, play structure, open space and hard courts. The size is variable though most are less than 15 acres. Community Park Facilities and use are targeted to serve residents of the entire City. The scale and scope of the site, improvements and amenities are adequate for large groups and special events. Generally more than 25 acres in size, they are often associated with a significant natural feature. Easily accessible from collector and arterial roadways. Amenities are non-athletic and may include large shelters and pavilions, hiking trails, play structures, fishing piers and picnic grounds. Community Athletic Field A large athletic complex servicing the entire community, intended primarily for organized youth and adult play including tournaments. Generally more than 25 acres in size and easily accessible. Field space may be developed for a specific sport or remain open to allow for multiple sport use. Fields may be lighted to accommodate extended use. Some opportunity for passive use that includes trails and picnic areas, restroom/service buildings and play structures may be on site. Advisory Parks Commission March 21, 2016 Page 45 City of Eagan Comprehensive Plan5-20 | Parks and Recreation Preserve An isolated site consisting primarily of unique and/or undisturbed tracts of park land. While not physically connected to other park land, it may function as part of an ecological corridor, flyway or a link in other natural processes. Development is associated only with passive activities such as hiking, nature observation or resource enhancement. Some may contain or function as drain runs, retention ponds or storm water collection points. Access may be limited. Greenway Preserve A primarily undisturbed tract of park land containing unique and/or undisturbed natural resources, most often physically connected to other preserves or resources via a natural corridor. Any activities are passive and may include hiking, nature observation and interpretation. The site may contain elements of, or function as, part of the storm water management system. Access may be limited. Greenway Corridor A contiguous lineal corridor or resource that enhances, buffers or connects undisturbed natural areas or features. May allow for physical access between areas via a trail or function as wildlife/ecologic corridor. Access may be from multiple public spaces, streets or trails. Special Use Facilities that provide a unique activity or built environment/amenities that promotes a unique activity. Often intended for a single purpose. The location may be dictated by the physical needs of a specific activity which make it incompatible with other recreational areas. Service area is the entire community. Historic Site A site intended to preserve, protect and/or interpret historic areas or buildings. Improvements are generally limited to those intended to enhance the experience of any visitors or of scheduled, on-site, programs. The site may also be designated as historically significant at the State or national level. Undeveloped Park Land Future programming for these city-owned properties is yet to be determined or these properties may remain non-programmed to preserve natural features.

The City, along with school districts, provide and maintain numerous athletic fields, courts, and rinks that support both adult recreation and youth athletic association leagues. The City also operates several enterprise facilities that provide recreation, fitness and space rental opportunities for leagues, clubs, and individuals originating from Eagan and the surrounding communities. These include: ▶Cascade Bay Water Park ▶Eagan Community Center ▶Eagan Civic Arena Consistent with the Park System Plan update, the City continues to monitor recreation programming and interact with community members to ensure that recreation programs continue to evolve to meet the needs of all city residents. Natural Resources Preserving parkland and natural resources are a high priority for city residents who believe these resources are critical to maintaining a high quality of life. Natural resource preservation is a fundamental element of Eagan’s park and open space planning. The most prominent natural resources within the community include the Minnesota River Valley, lakes and small water basins, wetlands, forest cover, and rolling terrain. The community also includes some unique natural resources that merit preservation, such as calcareous fens, springs, and trout streams in the Minnesota River valley. Preservation efforts are important to the maintenance of wildlife habitat and movement corridors; preservation of rare or endangered flora and fauna; storm water detention and aquatic recharge areas; visual relief and aesthetic considerations; preservation of the community’s historical perspective; and to provide environmental education. Advisory Parks Commission March 21, 2016 Page 61 City of Eagan Comprehensive Plan5-36 | Parks and Recreation Regional Facilities in Eagan Parks There are several parks and open space facilities, managed by state, federal, or county governments, located within or in close proximity to Eagan. Most notably these include: Lebanon Hills Regional Park, Fort Snelling State Park, the Minnesota Zoological Garden, and the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge and Recreation Area. The City acknowledges that these facilities contribute substantial open space and natural areas within easy access of Eagan residents. Trails Trail connections exist or are planned to link regional facilities to each other and to the City’s park system. Dakota County’s 2030 Vision for Parks, Lakes, Trails and Greenways includes a vision for regional and city greenways throughout the County, including within Eagan. Master plans for two regional trails that pass through Eagan have recently been completed; the Minnesota River Greenway Regional Trail and the Mendota-Lebanon Hills Greenway Regional Trail. Both of these master plans have been adopted by the Dakota County Board of Commissioners. The Metropolitan Council has approved the Minnesota River Greenway Regional Trail Master Plan. Two regional trail search corridors that will likely pass through Eagan have also been identified; the Lebanon Hills-Big Rivers Regional Trail and the Lebanon Hills – Mississippi River Regional Trail. The exact route for these trails has not yet been determined. Dakota County will take lead in advancing the planning for these two trail corridors. The City sees the benefits of these trails, yet much work still needs to be done with land use policy, land acquisition, trail alignment, and engineering to bring these trail concepts to reality.

The following are programming issues and needs to be addressed within the city’s current park system. Athletic Fields and Court Game Facilities With a wider variety of sports including soccer, lacrosse, rugby, and hurling being programmed on large open field areas, there will be continual demand for large flexible use turf field areas to meet the needs of youth and adult programming. Some consideration should be given for converting some underutilized ball field diamonds into multi-purpose fields to meet the demand for these new popular athletic field activities. By also increasing programming demand on natural turf field areas, consideration should also be given for installing synthetic turf fields at selected park or school facilities to allow for a high quality playing experience to be maintained during heavy programming times or tournament use. Pickleball has also evolved into a popular sport in many communities along with an increased demand for both indoor and outdoor court facilities. Repurposing some existing tennis courts to accommodate pickleball or offering more flexible indoor court programming opportunities will begin to meet the demand for this growing sport in the older demographic of the community. Sky Hill Park Advisory Parks Commission March 21, 2016 Page 64 Parks and Recreation | 5-39 City of Eagan Comprehensive Plan Park Buildings Many of the City’s existing park building facilities are in need of updates to better meet current programming and activities being accommodated throughout the year. Some of the common deficiencies include lack of storage space, non-conforming accessible bathrooms, and overall lack of space that can be used for pre-school and youth programming, community meetings, and warming room accommodations. While many of the park buildings will continue to serve a wide variety of user groups and programming, consideration should be given to identifying more specialized uses to be accommodated at each park building when undertaking renovations or potentially constructing a new park building to replace outdated facilities. Quarry Park Rahn Athletic Fields Advisory Parks Commission March 21, 2016 Page 65 City of Eagan Comprehensive Plan5-40 | Parks and Recreation Special Use Facilities Many communities have started to focus on developing more specialized use park facilities and activities to meet the public demand for new recreational trends and to accommodate a wider diversity of user groups. The City has started to develop some of these facilities which include establishing an off-leash dog area at Thresher Fields, a disc golf course at Northview Park, and an ice skating trail at Rahn Park. Other types of special use facilities that are being implemented in other communities include resilient surfacing Miracle Fields and universal accessible playgrounds to accommodate special needs youth and adult recreation enthusiasts. Many park systems, including Eagan, offer designated picnic areas and shelter facilities that can be reserved for small or large group gatherings. These open space special use facilities are increasing in popularity for a number of minority groups who utilize parks for social events, picnicking, and other gathering activities. The City currently has a wide variety of special use site facilities including the Community Center, the Civic Arena, Cascade Bay Waterpark, and Eagan Art House. While many of these facilities are currently meeting the needs of the community, more opportunities exist to expand or establish new specialized recreation facilities at these locations or at other park properties. Recreational facilities starting to be accommodated in many communities include providing more space to meet the needs of the visual and performing arts, large rental room facilities that can be used for community gathering and private events, and multi-purpose field house buildings that can be programmed for a wide variety of athletic activities and events. Rahn Ice Skating Trail Eagan Art House Advisory Parks Commission March 21, 2016 Page 66 Parks and Recreation | 5-41 City of Eagan Comprehensive Plan ADA Compliance Many of park facilities in Eagan were constructed prior to the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Therefore, many of the City park facilities are not compliant with current accessibility design standards. It is the desire of the City to bring park facilities into compliance with current accessibility design standards in a responsible and cost effective manner. As parks are refreshed and updated, the City will bring significantly remodeled facilities into compliance with ADA regulations. Potential Underserved Areas New Development Areas As part of the City’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan Update, five areas within the community were identified as future growth areas. Two of the areas are adjacent the new Red Line bus rapid transit (BRT) corridor that predominantly follows Cedar Avenue. One of the areas encompasses the current retail hub of the community, along with Central Park and adjacent redevelopment areas west of I-35E. One of the areas is located in the far northeast corner of the community that is currently comprised of industrial and office uses. The areas located next to the Red Line BRT are strong candidates for additional residential units as people, likely young professionals or seniors, will be attracted to live within convenient access to transit service. Similarly, increased residential development is expected near Central Park and the City’s retail area, as people, primarily seniors, will be attracted to convenient access to nearby businesses and restaurants. It is also feasible that a portion of the existing office and industrial uses in the northeast corner of the city could be converted to residential uses. Roadways as Barriers to Park Access The following two maps show 1) areas within a half-mile radius of an Eagan City Park, and 2) potential roadway barriers within Eagan based on AADT (annual average daily traffic). Although it appears most of the city is within half-mile of a park, this radius does not account for physical barriers to access, particularly major roadways. Roadways can function as a barrier to park access due to traffic volumes. Even if a road has lower traffic volumes (e.g. 5,000 – 10,000 AADT), it may still function as a barrier to pedestrian and bicycle movement if the posted speed limit is greater than 30 mph. Pedestrians and bicyclists are unlikely to feel safe crossing roadways with high traffic volumes and/or high speed limits in order to access a nearby park.

More specific recommendations have been summarized in the individual matrices. Park Building Facilities With most of the park buildings dedicated towards accommodating pre-school and youth programming, bathroom facilities are in need of upgrades to meet accessibility requirements and provide additional capacity. With warming room facilities an integral part of each building, remodeling efforts should strive to provide better separation between room uses to improve programming efficiencies and increase storage room capacity. Athletic Complexes The City currently maintains a wide variety of athletic field facilities that to date have generally met the needs of youth and adult athletic association user groups. With the increasing popularity of soccer, lacrosse, rugby, and other open lawn field sports, long term recommendations should consider converting ball field diamonds to multi-purpose turf fields to meet the increased demand for these sports. The addition of synthetic turf and lighting for some athletic field areas should also be considered to allow for increased programming and longer periods of use, which is often needed to accommodate tournament play. Other needed improvements at athletic field complexes include providing additional parking to accommodate peak use periods and upgrading building facilities to increase storage space, and provide improved concession and restroom facilities. Special Use Facilities Field House Facility With an increased demand for indoor recreation space, the addition of a field house as part of the Community Center offers the opportunity to accommodate additional court games such as basketball and pickleball and synthetic turf which can offer flexible use programming and a gathering place for larger city events and performances. Advisory Parks Commission March 21, 2016 Page 70 Parks and Recreation | 5-45 City of Eagan Comprehensive Plan Establishing a Winter Recreation Destination Facility There are currently ten parks programmed with ice skating facilities at various locations throughout the city. With climate change starting to impact the reliability of ice conditions during the winter season, adding refrigerated ice at a designated winter recreation facility along with a tubing hill with snow making capabilities would ensure consistent recreation opportunities during the winter months. Accommodating the Arts Based on initiatives identified in the Eagan Forward Vision plan, public sentiment expressed a desire to offer more facilities to accommodate the visual and performing arts. With the Eagan Art House currently providing that service for the city, opportunities should be studied for how the existing building facility can be renovated, expanded, or reconstructed to enhance programming opportunities. The surrounding context of Patrick Eagan Park also offers opportunities for adding outdoor spaces to accommodate the performing arts and exhibiting public art. Playground Improvements The City currently provides similar types of playground equipment at a majority of its neighborhood and community parks. As a way to provide a wider variety of playground experiences throughout the city, consideration for installing smaller scale playgrounds at neighborhood parks and larger scale playgrounds at community parks, or at parks with preschool or youth programming, could begin to offer a wider variety of play experiences for children. The addition of a universal accessible playground should also be considered at an appropriate park location in the city. Shared Use Facilities Many opportunities exist to share recreational resources with other providers including the school districts, local health clubs, and other private entities as a way to further enhance the quality and quantity of recreation services to the general public. Pocket Parks Identify locations and construct pocket parks in high density residential and commercial spaces to meet the gathering and social needs of diverse age groups. Long Term Improvement Considerations When the need and demand is established by the City for making more substantial investments, adding an indoor ice sheet at the Civic Arena or constructing a new indoor swimming pool facility could be considered. Additional study would be required to ensure long term operations and maintenance costs can be justified for adding these types of expensive facilities to the park and recreation system.

Winter Recreation Destination Facility Establish a city-wide winter recreation destination facility. Construct refrigerated ice rink and open skating area, tubing hill, lighting, and warming room facility at Central Park. Arts Facility Enhance visual and performing arts facilities and programming. Expand or establish new Arts Center facility at Patrick Eagan Park. Playground Facilities Enhance the diversity of play experiences at individual park locations. Establish a hierarchy of neighborhood and community scale playground facilities. Establish a universal access playground. Shared Use Facilities Identify opportunities for expanding access to other private/ public recreational facilities to meet user group demand. Continue to foster relationships with school districts, not-for-profits, and private entities to enhance recreation opportunities and programming. Pocket Parks Enhance diversity of park facilities. Consider incorporation of pocket parks into future high density residential and commercial developments. Special Use Facility Recommendations Advisory Parks Commission March 21, 2016 Page 74 Parks and Recreation | 5-49 City of Eagan Comprehensive Plan Potential Underserved Areas New Development Areas If redevelopment in the identified growth areas includes significant increases to residential populations, an evaluation of park needs should be performed to ensure residents of this area have save and convenient access to park and recreation facilities that meet their needs. Roadways as Barriers to Park Access The major roadways shown in yellow on the following map see at least 5,000 vehicles per day, on average. These roadways are considered barriers to park access because they create unsafe conditions for pedestrians or bicyclists to cross. Residents traveling to a park by foot or bike (especially children) are unlikely to access a park if a major roadway presents a barrier. The areas highlighted in orange are areas in Eagan where these major roadways surround residential neighborhoods currently lacking dedicated park land. These areas may be potentially underserved due to roadways functioning as barriers to park access. Additional analysis and evaluation should be performed to determine if these areas are truly underserved and if they are, how to best serve the population in these areas.
