The Advisory Commission is concerned that vacant land parcels which have significant natural resources are, or may soon be, purchased for development. Development would have serious impacts on the natural resources and the overall quality of life here in Eagan. The task force has been formed to review a list of identified parcels. The hope is that a referendum, which could fund the acquisition of some of the identified parcels, can be held in August. Other area communities including Plymouth, Eden Prairie, Maplewood and Maple Grove have held similar referendums to finance the acquisition of open space as park land, and have received enormous support from their residents. Eagan is approximately 70-75% developed at this time. It is for this reason that the Commission is concerned that there may be little opportunity left for the City to acquire additional park land. The task force, made up of 15 Eagan resident volunteers, has been meeting weekly to consider this issue. The task force hopes to present their recommendations to the Advisory Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission and City Council in early June. Park Reminders ow that spring has arrived and the summer months of wonderful outdoor activity are ahead, the following reminders are provided: 1 Striking a golf ball in City parks is prohibited. I When you bring your dog to a park, it is to be on a leash and you must clean up after it. I Driving is prohibited on any of the park trails. Thank you for your consideration of other park users by attending to these basic expectations. The City of Eagan is an Affirmative Action Equal Opportunity Employer City Gives Nod To The Promenade �Just in time for holiday shopping, the retail part of Eagan will include some exciting new opportunities. Following many months of deliberations and negotiations, the Eagan City Council gave final approval to Opus Corporation's Eagan Promenade development, at the intersection of I -35E and Yankee Doodle Road. Phase I of the project is scheduled to be completed late this fall. It will include Byerly's, Barnes and Noble, Home Place, Pier 1, Office Max and Paper Warehouse. Future phases will include more restaurants, smaller shops, additional anchor stores and upscale apartments. The Promenade will feature pedestrian and street landscaping elements to reinforce the area's identity as a major retail district of the community. It is hoped that by creating an attractive, convenient, pedestrian -friendly environment at The Promenade, more of Eagan's substantial buying power can stay within the community. As always, we encourage residents and employers to shop Eagan businesses and use Eagan services. As we buy more locally, other scores and restaurants will want an Eagan location as well. This drais a wing sample of lightingthe decorative which will be used at The Promenade Keeping Informea well informed public is important for good City decisions. Public notices and agendas of all regular and special City meetings are published in the Dakota County Tribune, the City's official newspaper. The agendas are also published in Eagan This Week.

That's what individuals I under 21 face if they consume alcohol and J drive. Unlike the minimum blood alcohol requirement and mandated testing required to convict and suspend the license of a person of legal drinking age for DUI, youthful drivers who use alcohol can lose their licenses for a mere presence of alcohol consumption. Individuals under age 21 who consume any alcohol face license suspensions of at least 30 days and up to 180 days if convicted more than once of driving after consuming alcohol. In 1993, a national study showed 2,364 people, ages 15 to 20, died in alcohol-related crashes. In 1994, Minnesota enacted a zero -tolerance law to discourage young people from drinking and driving. In addition, parents of young people who hold a provisional license (those under 18) may request that the state cancel the driving privileges of their child. This is a powerful tool of which parents are often unaware. If you have a son or daughter who persists in drinking and driving, even though the police may never stop them, parents can request the driving privileges of their child be cancelled. Requests are handled through the Department of Public Safety. Studies show that the incidence of alcohol use increases among young people in the spring, particularly in conjunction with prom and graduation. The Eagan Police have received a grant under the Safe and Sober Program. In addition to working to increase public awareness and compliance, the grant provides funding for enhanced enforcement. Additional officers will be working from April through May to enhance enforcement of DUI, zero -tolerance, speed and seat belt laws. Residents' Alert pring brings flowers and showers and also-- door -to -door -salespeople. Most of these solicitors have a legitimate product and are considerate of the home owner. There are others who sell goods of questionable value and who are very aggressive in their sales tactics. Federal law prohibits cities from licensing solicitors which means we no longer review solicitors as to the advisability of allowing them to go door to door. Residents should use their own judgement when purchasing a product or when donating to a cause. Dog Days of Summer Approach From Kathleen b. _r Animal 0 h where has that dog gone --dog gone it! I can't tell you how often I hear dog owners say "My dog never leaves the yard," "Someone let Fido out," or "We just gave him a bath and he's not wearing a collar." Of course we all know accidents happen, but you can protect your pet and your wallet by simply making sure your dog is properly licensed. Dog licensing is mandatory in Eagan. Since your dog can't tell us its owner's name and address, a license does the job. This is the best insurance there is to guarantee that your pet will be safely returned to you. It's also the easiest way for me and the other officers to know if the lost dog has a current rabies vaccination. The cost for a two-year dog license is $14.00. Licenses can be purchased at the Eagan Police Department, Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Your dog's tag number is then entered into the police computer system and can be tracked twenty-four hours a day. The average stay in the dog pound costs $86.00. If your dog is licensed, we try first to return it to you, before we take it to the pound. After all, dogs are man's best friends --and mine too!

The Eagan Lion's Club, the Eagan Convention and Visitor's Bureau, the City of Eagan and many other community organizations and individuals have been working for months to plan this year's celebration. The Funfest will begin on Wednesday, July 3, from 4:00p.m. until midnight, with craft and food booths in front of the Cedarvale Mall. At 7:00 p.m. the Street Dance begins, with music by Powell Station. Thursday morning, the Funfest continues with the July 4th parade at 10:00 a.m. The theme for this year's parade is "Community and Family Pride. " Starting near the Cliff Lake Center, the parade will follow Rahn Road to Beau De Rue Drive, and end in front of the Cedarvale Mall. The parade will consist of area marching bands, floats, fire engines, "Miss Eagan Candidates" (Yes, the Miss Eagan Pageant has returned also --coronation will be held this fall!), classic cars, New Owners For Carriage Hills Put Development Fears to Rest The Carriage Hills golf course property has been sold to the "Rahn Family Partnership" and will remain in operation as a golf course. This sale represents the last chapter in a process which has been unfolding since last summer, when Bill Smith, the previous owner of Carriage Hills; began looking for a buyer for the property. Neighbors of the property and other Eagan residents also became very involved in Auxiliary aids for persons with disabilities participating in City activities will be provided upon advance notice of at least 96 hours. If a notice of less than 96 hours is received, the City will. attempt to provide such aid. community groups or businesses. Kids on bikes, in wagons or just walking along, are also encouraged . Crafters, food booths, kiddie games and rides, a beer tent, bingo tent and stage shows will continue throughout Thursday afternoon and evening in the Cedarvale Mall parking lots. The Celebration will conclude with a spectacular fireworks display over Skyhill Park near the corners of Yankee Doodle and Blue Cross Roads. Parking will be available in the Blue Cross Blue Shield parking lots as it was last year. Applications for crafters and non-profit food vendors, Miss Eagan candidates and parade participants are still being accepted, so sign up to join the fun! For more information about this great two-day community celebration, contact the Eagan Convention and Visitors Bureau at 454-9872. working to preserve the property as a golf course or open space. Tom Hedges, City Administrator, says ,"Ray Rahn has told us that owning Carriage Hills has always been a dream of his; from the City's perspective, we couldn't be happier that his dream has now come true!" Smith initially offered to sell the course to the City of Eagan as a municipal golf course, but the asking price and timing were not such that the City could determine the feasibility of course ownership as quickly as Smith, and neighbors of the course, had hoped. Smith accepted an offer for sale of the property from Pulte Home Builders, contingent on the City Council granting a comprehensive guide plan amendment to allow for residential development of the property. That amendment was denied in late March. Smith then began looking for a new buyer. He found Ray and Rosie Rahn, long time friends and former Eagan residents. The Rahns have previously developed and owned Parkview golf course in Eagan, Fountain Valley in Lakeville and currently own Rich Valley golf course in Rosemount. Rahn says he has improvement plans for the course, but will make them slowly, as the course is now open for the season. Future plans may include a full service, upscale restaurant. Currently, the course offers snack food and beer at its concession stand. For information about Carriage Hills, please call the clubhouse directly at 452-7211. Odd/Even Water Use Conservation Notice lease be informed that the City of Eagan has a PERMANENT CONSERVATION PROGRAM for outside water usage. If your address ends in an odd number such as 311, outdoor watering is allowed on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, etc., day of the month. If your address ends in an even number such as 312, outdoor watering is allowed on the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, etc., day of the month. This permanent system is in effect throughout the entire outdoor watering season. The restriction applies to all property within the City of Eagan and the only exceptions allowed are for new sod, seed or landscaping for the first three weeks of planting. Your cooperation in complying with this program will help recognize and respect the limited natural resources we share and help to conserve our ground water supply. Water Conservation CEn 11 -?a veny Rewarding Summertime is the highest water consumption time of year - usage triples!!! The increase is due to: lawn watering, outside cleaning, auto washing, filling swimming and wading pools, gardening, etc. Some guidelines to follow to conserve water are: Respecting the odd/even watering program. Use a shut off nozzle on your hose. Do not waste water by letting it run freely out of the hose . Set your irrigation system to the odd/even system Check faucets for leaks. Shut off your water system when vacationing. For other water saving tips, call Utility Division Customer Service at 681-4300. The City of Eagan obtains its water supply from 17 deep wells; 15 of these are located in the Jordan Aquifer and two are located in the Hinckley Aquifer. Eagan removes iron and manganese from water at its two treatment facilities. Chlorine for disinfection and fluoride to help prevent tooth decay are added before delivery to the consumer. Eagan meets or exceeds all federal and state drinking water regulations. On an annual basis, Eagan's water is tested approximately 1,000 times at sites throughout Eagan for bacteriological and potential groundwater contaminants. In 1995, Eagan pumped 2.5 billion gallons to its customers. The City of Eagan Utilities Division is committed to supplying safe, high quality drinking water to its consumers. Please feel free to contact us a if you have any questions or concerns about your drinking water.

You may experience some of the following in the spring: If pressure is low on the outside faucet, but not in the rest of the home, a faulty backflow preventer on the faucet may be the culprit. Remove this and replace it with a new one. If one is not present, install one. (See photo below.) Backflow preventers are available at most hardware stores. Also, check the valve inside the house on the line that feeds that outside faucet (remember I told you how to close this in the fall). This line could be partially closed or seized, which will limit the amount of pressure. FromBob'sArchives... Remember to pour a bucket or two of water in basement floor drains or rarely used sinks, showers, or toilets each spring. The drain traps can dry up during the winter and may allow annoying sewer gas into the house. Notice I said annoying. This smell is rarely dangerous. If you like, add some chlorine bleach to the buckets of water for added freshness. As always, if you have questions, comments, or concerns, give me a call at the utility division, 681-4300. Ask for Bob, the water guy. Area Stores Carry No - Phosphorus Fertilizer hat happens when you try to add more to a container that's already full? It makes a mess!! And that's what can happen when fertilizer with phosphorus is spread on a lawn that doesn't need any more. Phosphorus is essential to promote a healthy root system for your lawn. But testing of over 400 residential lawn soils in Eagan has shown that the "container" underlying most established lawns'is already full and these lawns need no additional phosphorus from fertilizer. Because phosphorus doesn't move very far in the soil and is used up slowly, a little can go a long way. In fact, if a soils test has shown adequate amounts of phosphorus in a lawn soil, chances are good that phosphorus levels will remain adequate for at least 2-3 years and probably longer. The "if some is good, more is better" philosophy for phosphorus application wouldn't be so bad, except that some of that extra phosphorus can end up being washed off lawns into the storm drainage system that feeds Eagan's lakes and ponds. The result is algal blooms that compromise use and cause premature aging of those lakes and ponds. As the importance of careful phosphorus management to balance good lawn care with environmental protection has become more apparent, people have responded. Five years ago, none of the retail outlets in the City carried no -phosphorus fertilizer. Today, at least two carry the "no -P" alternative. Jerry's Garden and Nursery Center sells granular no -phosphorus fertilizers, while Frank's Nursery sells a liquid form. Thanks to these establishments for providing "no -P" fertilizer options for healthy Eagan lawns and lakes. New Signs For Fish Lake w far away from Fish Lake can you be nd still affect its quality?? MILES, it turns ut. New signs designed by Boy Scout Troop j31soon be installed to help educate residents on this fact. The signs will be put along existing roads to mark the boundary of the "watershed" of Fish Lake. A watershed is the area of land that drains to a particular water body. In the case of Fish Lake, water running off a street, driveway, or lawn anywhere within an area bounded roughly by State Highway 3 on the east, Yankee Doodle Road on the north, and Diffley Road on the south can make it to Fish Lake through storm drainage systems. The problem is that so do pollutants the water carries. So, to those who live in this area of the City, help protect Fish Lake by following lawn care practices that protect water resources. Construction Almost Finished at Schwanz Lake he dirt was flying and the pipes were being laid this winter at Schwanz Lake. As part of a Cleanwater Partnership Project jointly funded by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and the City of Eagan, a plastic pipe was laid along the bottom of Schwanz Lake to help mix well -oxygenated, relatively clean outflow water from Hay Lake with the deeper, low oxygen waters in Schwanz Lake. In addition, a shallow basin at the southern tip of Schwanz Lake was excavated and diked off to better treat runoff entering the lake from an adjacent residential development. Summer monitoring of the lake will help determine whether these improvements are working. The final phase of the Schwanz Lake project is scheduled to occur next spring with a treatment to inactivate pollutants that have accumulated in the lake. The end result should be a lake with less algae which is better when fishing, canoeing or wading. In order to accommodate construction, a portion of Highline Trail was closed. Restoration of the trail and the remainder of the construction area is scheduled to be completed by June 1. In the meantime, the City requests that residents please observe the "Trail Closed" signs and thanks those residents adjacent to the construction area for their patience. Arbor Day Foundation Grants Tree City U.S.A. and Growth Award s well as being For the ninth recognized as consecutive year ATree City USA, the City of Fagan this year the City was has been awarded the prestigious iCieti Tree City USA "Growth distinction as Tree Award". This special City USA., Come award is presented by celebrate this the National Arbor Day achieved»t at Foundation, in Arbor Cay, May 1 11n cooperation with the USDA Forest Service, and the National Association of State Foresters, to recognize environmental improvement and encourage higher levels of tree care throughout America. The award is designed to recognize achievement, but also to communicate new ideas and help the leaders of Tree City USA's plan for improving community tree care. Specific projects which earned the City this year's award included production of an Oak Wilt Disease educational video, completion of an extensive boulevard tree inventory, and the implementation of a tree planting project to stabilize a sloped construction area. This special Growth Award was presented to only eight cities out of the 134 statewide that received the Tree City USA recognition this year. This is the third.time that Eagan has received the Growth Award, receiving it first in 1991 and again in 1994. To receive this recognition, presented by the National Arbor Day Foundation, a city is required to annually meet the following four standards: have an active Tree Commission; have a community tree ordinance; implement a community forestry program with an annual budget of at least $2.00 per capita; and hold an Arbor Day observance and proclamation. Since 1987 the city has held a number of Arbor Month activities including the Annual Tree Sale, an Arbor Day poster contest involving over 1,000 third graders, and an Arbor Day tree planting ent. This year's Arbor Day planting event is planned for Saturday, May 11, at the newly remodeled Municipal Center. Everyone in the community is encouraged to participate. Gypsy Moth Trapping uring early spring the City Forestry Division along with the assistance of the Minnesota Department of Agriculture will be performing activities to control a potentially serious pest, Lymantria dispar, more commonly known as the gypsy moth. For many years the gypsy moth has been the most notorious pest of hardwood trees in the eastern United States. This pest, which was introduced into the United States (Massachusetts) in 1869, has now progressed westward to approximately the Michigan/ Wisconsin border; however, infestations have occurred in Utah, Oregon, Washington, California, and many other states outside of the northeast, including Minnesota. Natural migration of this insect occurs at a relatively slow rate; however, new infection centers can show up suddenly in "clean areas" as the moth is artificially introduced on infected plant stock, infected firewood, or clinging to parts of automobiles or trailers. The larvae at maturity is dark colored, about 1 1/s inches long, and has fine hairs and red and blue dots on its back. The adult moth is a mottled grayish color and just over one inch in length. Egg masses appear as flesh colored patches about the size of a thumb nail. If you see any of these signs, please call the City Forestry Division at 681-4300. The site that will be treated in Eagan (Cinnamon Ridge area) was selected because infected trees were planted in landscape areas. The biology of the gypsy moth is that as it passes through the larval stage (caterpillar) it can do serious damage by defoliating deciduous trees. The effects of this defoliation depend on several factors, including the amount of foliage removed, the condition of the foliage at the time of defoliation, the number of consecutive defoliations, available soil moisture, and the species of the host tree. There are several tactics used in managing gypsy moth infestations, including monitoring populations (trapping surveys), maintaining health and vigor of trees, discouraging gypsy moth survival (biological controls), and treating with insecticides to kill larvae and protect tree foliage. The infected area in Eagan will be managed with all of these options. Control activities will include ground spraying of the immediate site (performed by City staf), "banding" potential feeding trees (volunteers) to check for future feeding activity, and mass trapping within 800 feet of the infected trees (performed by MN Dept. Of Ag.). These gypsy moth control activities will take place some time early in May. If you have any questions or concerns about the gypsy moth or if you think that your trees may be infected or defoliated by this insect, please call the City Forestry Division at 681-4300. Airport Expansion Approved by Legislature he Dual Track Airport Planning Process was concluded in early April when the Legislature received the Dual Track Report and voted to expand the airport at its current location rather than relocate it to eastern Dakota County. The City of Eagan was very active at the Legislature during the debate concerning noise mitigation, future airport planning and the need to retain options to absorb air traffic growth. The City of Eagan has been a supporter of aggressive noise mitigation and the preservation of the Dakota County site as an alternative for the future. While the legislation specifically prohibits site preservation, it does require the MAC to present a recommendation on noise mitigation in the next six months. City representatives will actively pursue mitigation tools on behalf of our residents who are affected by the continued expansion of the airport. The airport expansion will probably occur over the next five to ten years. It will involve the addition of a runway roughly parallel to Cedar Avenue. This runway will operate to and from the south over the Minnesota River valley. Before the runway would be built, however, federal law requires that all airlines convert to an all Stage III fleet. Stage III planes, like the 757 and A-320, create substantially less noise than do the DC -9 and 727, which currently make up the majority of the operations at Minneapolis -St. Paul. While it is hoped that the combination of quieter planes and effective noise mitigation will make the airport a better neighbor even after its expansion, current rates of traffic growth make it likely that airport capacity will become an issue again soon after the new runway is built. It will be important for the City to remain active in this area as operations at the airport expand and evolve: AIRCRAFT NOISE CONCERNS Residents bothered by aircraft noise can register their complaints with the Metropolitan Airports Commission by calling 726-9411. The City of Eagan is committed to the policy that all persons have equal access to programs, services, activities, facilities and employment without regard to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, disability, age, marital status, sexual orientation or status with regard to public assistance. City of Eagan Auction Saturday May 18 th 10:00 a.m. The public is welcome. Viewing begins at 9:00 a.m. Business Reachout Meetings Return he City of Eagan and the Chamber of Commerce will be sponsoring another business reachout meeting on May 22 at 4:00 p.m. at the Eagan Municipal Center. The reachout meetings are designed to give business owners, employees and interested community members a chance to ask questions and share information with Chamber and City Representatives. Four reachout meetings were held this fall throughout Eagan. Chamber and City representatives felt that this was a comfortable and valuable way to listen to the observations and concerns of the business community, and a good way to stay connected with the business community. For information about the reachout meetings, contact the City of Eagan at 681-4600.

Local sponsorship includes the Eagan Water Quality Program and members of In -Fishermen. MinnAqua provides fishing rods, reels and tackle.

Each participant will have the opportunity to trace the path of water runoff from his/her home. The route water takes from street to pond to lake to the Minnesota River may be a surprise. The clinic will begin with the 9:30 am check-in at Thomas Lake Park. Activity and education sessions will be held in the morning. BRING A BAG LUNCH. Parks and Recreation will provide the beverage.
