1989-05 Eagan News & Discover UsEAGAN NEWS CITY OF EAGAN 3830 Pilot Knob Road Eagan, MN 55122 MAY 1989 Volume 12 No. 2 Phone: 454-8100 THE LONE OAK TREE. ...THE SYMBOL OF STRENGTH AND GROWTH IN OUR COMMUNITY SUMMER OUTSIDE WATER USE POLICY The City of Eagan has implemented a Water Use Restriction/Conservation Policy which will be effective from JUNE 1 TO AUGUST 31, 1989 for all non-es- sential outside water use. This policy affects all residents obtaining water from the City of Eagan. This restriction ALLOWS the sprinkling of lawns/gardens, car washing, etc., ON EVEN DAYS ONLY AT EVEN ADDRESSES and ON ODD DAYS ONLY AT ODD ADDRESSES. The only EXCEPTIONS allowed are for newly placed sod, seed and landscaping for the first three (3) weeks and for private well users. A special telephone number has been set up to provide the most current infor- mation regarding the City's water supply and the water use restriction policy. Please call 454-1010 for a recorded message or the City's Maintenance Facility at 454-5220 (7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Mon. - Fri.) for additional information. For the following reasons, this conservation measure is necessary this summer to insure a continued and adequate supply of water for all residents of the City: • The scheduled reconstruction by Dakota County of Lexington Avenue (Coun- ty Road 43) will require the reconstruction of 8,600 feet of one of only two main north -south trunk water lines by the City during the peak summer use season. The City has invested approximately $43,000 in system modifications to help minimize the effects of this trunk water main reconstruction project. • The construction of a 4 million gallon water reservoir at the intersection of Dif- fley Road and Lexington Avenue will not be completed until the Fall of '89. This unexpected delay in the completion of this $850,000 facility resulted from delays in property acquisition from the Federal Housing and Urban Develop- ment Agency (HUD). This reservoir's capacity is necessary to provide for peak usage beyond the cumulative capacity of all City wells and to help insure adequate standby reserves for fire fighting purposes and related safety measures. • It is extremely difficult to predict weather and peak use conditions which could adversely affect the water supply level. In addition, it is almost impos- sible to notify the entire community regarding emergency water restriction con- ditions in a timely manner. It is anticipated that the 1989 policy's advance planning and scheduling will eliminate emergency conditions this summer. • This conservation measure will help to stabilize our groundwater levels, insur- ing a dependable source of water supply for our community. The City of Eagan requests everyone's assistance in helping to maintain an adequate water supply to meet potential fire demands and necessary pressure levels throughout the City. Your cooperation in helping to inform your neighbors about this restriction/conservation measure will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your understanding and support! afertug:..:.

CITY OF EAGAN Mayor: Vic Ellison Councilmembers: Thomas Egan Pam McCrea Dave Gustafson Ted Wachter AIRCRAFT NOISE CONCERNS EAGAN/MENDOTA HEIGHTS AIRCRAFT CORRIDOR Many residents and prospective residents contact the City asking where aircraft noise impacts can be expected in Eagan and how serious the impact may be. As a neighbor of an interna- tional airport, it would be un- reasonable to expect no noise impact, but the City of Eagan is one of the few communities that has had the oppor- tunity to plan for noise. WHAT MAKES THIS ISSUE SO COMPLEX? Noise nuisance is subjective. Per- sonal tolerance varies dramatically. Many people find some background noise acceptable, while others want a very quiet, sound -controlled environ- ment. At a certain level, everyone would agree that a noise source is loud, but most areas of Eagan are not so severely affected. In addition, aircraft noise impacts depend on a variety of factors. Wind can push aircraft and noise into areas which typically experience them less. Hot weather limits the ability of aircraft to climb efficiently, meaning the noise source will be closer to the ground farther from the airport. Clouds also trap sound waves near the ground resulting in a rumbling echo on overcast days. Most significantly, a lot of these factors coincide just when we want to enjoy the outdoors during "open window" season. BUT IT SEEMS THEY CHANGE THE FLIGHT TRACKS A LOT Aircraft do not fly specific routes overhead. Generally speaking, they are given headings which direct them toward a specific navigational aid on the ground or gate in the sky. This is often compared with attempting to cross a river's current in a boat. Depending upon the strength of the current, the skill of the pilot and the point a turn is accomplished or a head- ing is assumed, the boat may take a variety of courses to the dock. While airport neighbors will identify con- centrations where flights are most like- ly to occur, aircraft may be found else- where. WHAT IS THE "CORRIDOR"? The area which is intended to make some sense of all of this uncer- tainty is the Eagan/Mendota Heights Corridor. Located along the boundary of the two cities, the Corridor is an area of generally noise -coin atible commercial and industrial land -uses which ranges from two and one-half to three miles wide. Within that area, noise levels are expected to be high. New residential construction is prohibited and most existing residen- tial areas have commercial comprehen- sive guide designations. The Corridor map below depicts the area in two ways. The bold lines depict policy contours which the Metropolitan Council enforces. They relate to progressively higher levels of restriction as you get closer to the air- port. The shading depicts areas of generally compatible land use which are commercial or will become so some day. This does not mean that noise magically ends outside of these areas. It does mean that the worst of the noise impact should be contained within them. cOPPOII rS LIMITS HOW DOES THE CORRIDOR RELATE TO OPERATIONS? In exchange for this area of com- patible land -use, the Federal Aviation Administration is supposed to attempt to keep air traffic within it. When air commerce was regulated, the airport handled approximately one-third of the traffic it does now and the Cor- ridor was adequate to contain both aircraft and noise. Since deregulation, air traffic at the airport has increased dramatically. As a consequence, the FAA has begun to use a much larger portion of the compatible area for operations. Neigh- borhoods near the Corridor are receiv- ing increased impacts because of this .J broader area of operations and the higher frequency of flights. Despite these changes, the FAA P must still direct operations in a control- led manner. Departures may not turn south of a line three miles from the runway end. This is at the ap- proximate location of Knox Lumber on Lexington Avenue. At that point, aircraft heading south and west can be expected to begin a sweeping turn which will carry them over parts of eastern Eagan and Inver Grove Hts. Arrivals are required to make at least a four mile final approach begin- ning around the intersection of Apollo Road and Mike Collins Drive. Most aircraft queue up for this approach over Inver Grove Heights and some as far away as Hastings. BUT I SAW PLANES OVER MY HOUSE AND I'M NOWHERE NEAR THE CORRIDOR The Corridor is intended to ab- sorb the worst of the impacts from the lowest altitude portions of flights. As aircraft approach or depart from these closely controlled procedures, they may be seen over residential areas of Eagan. The closer you get to the Cor- ridor, the more frequently these events may occur. In addition, the Corridor procedures only apply to jet aircraft, so propeller planes may be seen al- most anywhere. It should be remembered that many overflights are within the guidelines set for the Corridor. Many others are the result of aircraft drifting south of runway centerline, turning early from the Corridor or slipping into a pattern short of the four -mile final approach. WHAT DO I DO IF I SEE A PLANE WHERE IT SHOULDN'T BE? If you observe a jet aircraft ob- viously outside the Corridor or if you are bothered by aircraft noise, regard- less of the location of the noise source, note as much as you can about the aircraft, direction of flight and time of day and call: MAC Complaint Line: 726-9411 Airport Control Tower: 725-4230 Address noise correspondence to: Metropolitan Aircraft Sound Abatement Council (MASAC) 6040 28th Ave. S., Mpls, MN 55450 HOW MUCH WATER DOES MY LAWN REALLY NEED? The every other day water use restriction for June, July and August has been instituted at this time in order to insure that all residents have . plenty of water for normal household use and that there is an adequate emer- gency supply of water in case of a major fire in the City of Eagan. By sprinkling only every other day and by regulating the amount of sprin- kling to only that necessary, property owners can greatly reduce their water bills, maintain a viable lawn and con- serve our groundwater and reservoir supplies. For those who wish to maintain a green and healthy lawn, the water use restriction is not a reason for panic! In fact, the best method for sprinkling is to thoroughly water the lawn two or three times per week. A less frequent but good soaking of the lawn will encourage plants to grow deep and healthy roots. By con- trast, light and frequent watering will only encourage the lawn to spread roots at the surface and subject it to more stress during periods of drought. In the east central portion of Min- nesota, the amount of evaporation and use of water by plants during the sum- mer normally exceeds rainfall by 1 to 3 inches per month. Homeowners who wish to maintain a green lawn will need to replace this amount of water through sprinkling. A good rule of thumb is to let the sprinkler run for about half an hour, in each area, two or three times per week. To better measure the amount of water being ap- plied, simply set out a tin can or other container with uniform sides. Remem- ber, though, that the amount needed is only 1 to 3 inches per month under normal conditions. During periods of hot and dry weather, watering two to three times a week may be required. During periods of cooler weather or overcast skies, reduce the watering frequency to once per week. Watering flower and vegetable gar- dens thoroughly two to three times a week also results in stronger more healthy plants because the plants develop deep root systems.

MULTI -FAMILY RECYCLING As soon as the residential program began, residents in multi -unit dwellings, 5 and above, became very in- terested in participating. Currently, the HERO* program is only able to serve single family to 4 unit dwellings. We are aware of the interest and necessity of beginning a recycling program in the larger unit buildings. Organizing a multi -unit recycling program has many different aspects that need to be addressed. The time tables for program development are greater because each building may need individual attention to devise a recycling plan. At this time we encourage all multi -family residents to use the recy- cling drop-off centers around town during our organization period. We hope to have the first phases of the program on line in the next few months. Check with your building manager or Association about recycling oppor- tunities for your complex, some refuse haulers are able to begin collection of recyclable materials. Drop-off locations are as follows: Recycle Minnesota Resources 2972 Seneca Rd. 484-5373 Tues Sat 9-5 t c. s Mount Cavalry Lutheran Church 3930 Rahn Rd. 454-2344 (Barbara McCulley) Glass only. 9 to 5. St. John Neumann Catholic Church 4030 Pilot Knob Road Newsprint only. WASTE REDUCTION...ANOTHER IMPORTANT STEP FOR RESPONSIBLE WASTE MANAGEMENT Waste reduction can be ac- complished, too. Nearly a third of our solid waste is packaging material, and 1 out of 10 of our grocery dollars pays for packaging. We buy the package, and then pay to dispose of it. Try these ideas to reduce waste: • Ask the store manager to stock items in refillable or reusable con- tainers, or at least in recyclable containers. • Buy in larger quantities or bulk and avoid individually packaged items. • Request paper bags at the store, not plastic bags. • Avoid using disposable dishware whenever possible. Use cloth nap- kins and towels. • Use cloth diapers or a diaper ser- vice instead of disposable diapers. • Donate unwanted items to your church or synagogue, social ser- vice agencies or others. • Share recent magazines and books with friends, or give them to nurs- ing homes or other organizations. • Reuse gift wrap and boxes. • Avoid junk mail. You can keep your name from many mailing lists by writing: Direct Marketing Association 6 East 43rd Street New York, NY 10017 mato This newsletter is printed on recycled paper.. •MPOST SITE ACKYARD MPOSTING The Eagan MumcipaI Compost Site: is now open to :the public Tues, Thurs and :Sat., 12 7pm At- Cendant on duty : Use of the ::site: during unattended hours is Compostable materials accepted; include • grass clippm::: • :leaves =: garden wastes and • :tree branches 1". 6"> in diameter only :Free matured<` compost -and wood chips available also, please bring your own :shovel::: and con tainer for Material.

If you are a tenant in a multi - tenant building, encourage your management company to organize recy- cling service. White office paper and/or cor- rugated cardboard recycling would be an easy and cost-effective place to start. Check with your refuse hauler about recycling services or contact a business recycling service listed in the Yellow Pages under Recycling Services. "OFFICER'S ::NOTES: K" By.

CREATURE CORNER RESPONSIBILITIES FOR PET OWNERS Many calls are received this time of year regarding pets which are not properly attended or which defecate in parks or on property not belonging to the pet's owner. The following rules are found in the Eagan City Code: Section 10.11 City Code: Dog & Cat Regulation Subd. 2 Owners of dogs or cats cannot permit their animals to run at large. The owner must have the dog on a durable leash, fully secured, on the owner's premises. Or, the dog can be on a leash or trained and under the command of accompanying person. Cats are considered to be at large if they are not on the owner's property. Subd. 3 All dogs, over six months of age, must be licensed and they must wear a collar and have a tag firmly at- tached. Subd. 10 Dogs and cats cannot be permitted to disturb the peace and quiet of the neighborhood by barking, howling, whining, or making any other loud or unusual noises. Subd. 11 It is unlawful to own or keep a dog or cat which is dangerous to persons or property. Subd. 13 It is unlawful for the owner of any dog or cat to fail to prevent his dog or cat from defecating in or upon public property or the premises of another. Pet owners are responsible for cleaning up after their dogs and cats should an accident occur. Further, the owner cannot permit solid waste of a dog or cat to accumu- late on his premises for more than 24 hours. These are common courtesy rules. They also serve to protect the health and safety of our residents.

BLOCK PARTIES Many residents like to have block parties during the summer months. The city has some suggestions to make them fun, but safe, occasions. The party must be held on homeowners' lawns. There cannot be blockading of the street or cul-de-sac - even if every single neighbor is attend- ing. The roadway must be clear in the event emergency vehicles are needed. Noisy parties that extend beyond your block might irritate neighboring residents. We suggest you let it be known there will be a block party and that you will try to keep the noise down. If the police are called to en- force City Code Section 10.31, "Noisy Parties or Gatherings," they may have to shut down your party. The City encourages block parties as a good opportunity for families to get better acquainted. By following common sense rules, everyone can have a good time.
