Zoological Society, Minnesota Zoo Board, City of Apple Valley and Dakota County Park Director were reviewed. Also the EAW on the project was submitted to the APC. There were concerns regarding the impact upon the County Park, the density of the development, the objective of the City of Eagan to locate a campground closer to the zoo, e.g. on Johnny Cake Ridge Road. A significant number of adjacent property owners were present mcst of whom objected to the proposal. The objections from neighbors included the impact on the general area and the objection that the property was of a residential nature in the area with the ROA being a commercial type operatic There were concerns by Planning Commission members that the park may become a permanent location for mobile homes and trailers. Mr. Ohlmann stated that fire ringE would be included at the site if the PCA permits such rings.

There was concern as to the proximity to the Dakota County park and whether it ought to be acquired by Dakota County for park purposes. A letter from Chuck Lowery, the Dakota County Park Director, December 30, 1977, indicating that the County would not be able to acquire the site was read. There were septic tank problems and possible intrusion to the lake. It was noted that Cliff Road will eventually require 150 foot right of way. After discussion, Roszak moved and Harrison seconded the motion to recommend denial of the application because of access problems to County Road #32, intrusion on the park and Holland Lake, that it does not comply with the master land use plan providing for park use 0 Page 4 December 20, 1978 APC Minutes. and possible setback variance problems. All members voted in favor. Chairman Harrison then requested that the staff study the proposed use of the property including the possibility that the County Board reconsider its policy of acquiring small isolated parcels adjacent to the Dakota County park because of their undesir- ability for development purposes and report back to the Council with a proposed resolution for submission to the Dakota County Board. RASMUSSEN ADDITION REZONING AND PRELIMINARY PLAT. The Chairman then convened the public hearing regarding the application of Donald Rasmussen and J.P.R. Park, 'n_. for rezoning Lot 1, Rasmussen Addition to P,-2 zoning from R-1 and for prelimina: plat approval of a revised plat of Rasmussen Addition to be labelled Lake Park Addition.

The increase would be from 16 single family lots to 21 single family lots and 1 duplex lot with the duplex lot at the corner of Cedar Crest and Cliff Road. The location of the gas pipe line easement would be moved Southerly 25 feet to make the duplex lot more useable. The average square footage of the lot is 20,000 square feet on a parcel of 15.87 acres. It was noted that the Lot 11 lot line was adjusted according to the Planner's recommendation and that North tip into Thomas Lake would be acquired from the Dunn & Curry with Cash contribution to the City for park. The tip of land into Thomas Lake on the West owned by Richard Sherer was discussed. Mr. Cedarberg, the owner of Lot 11, Rasmussen Addition, was present and objected to the small lots, the replatting of the lots 13, 14, and 15 in Lake Park Addition because of the size of the lots and other objections. Mr. and Mrs. Sherer were also present and indicated that they objected to the duplex zoning on Cliff P.oad. After considerable discussion, Roszak moved and Blomquist seconded the motion, all members voted in favor, to recommend denial of the rezoning of the lot at Cl+.ff and Cedar Crest to R-2 because it would be spot zoning and out of character 0 Page 5 December 20, 1978 APC Minutes. 0 with the rest of the immediate neighborhood.

The Eagan Park Ordinance was adopted by the City Council at the June 21st meeting and copies will be available for distribution at the park committee meeting. Arrangements are also being made for publication which will determine the effective date of said ordinance. PARK DEPT. REPORT The Park Dept. reports that this year's expanded recreation program is in full swing. We are very pleased with the staff we were able to employ this year. Dorothy Peterson is supervising 28 people in the Summer in the Park Programs, Tumbling and Dance classes and Tennis lessons. We are striving for high quality performance in all of these areas. Five additional people have also been added to the Park Dept. staff as temporary CETA employees. Two persons will cut diseased trees from public lands for the next 6 months, two will prune,water and other wise improve our existing plantings for 6 months and one person has been added to the regular staff for one year. A Public Hearing was held Monday June 27, 1977 regarding the upgrading of Pilot Knob Rd from Yankee Doodle to 494. At the cities request the county has drawn in the trail on both sides of the South mile and on the east side of the North Mile. The map should be available for review during the park committee meeting. No decision has been made on who will pay for the trail if it is included in the final project. However, the Dakota County Planning Commission recommended a resolution which the County Board passes directing the County Parks and Planning Dept. to establish a county wide trail plan and to investigate mutual and/or supplementary funding. See enclosed resolution. Efforts will be made to continue to pursue the construction of this trail and county's participation in the cost if regional funding is not available. A second hearing was held regarding storm sewer along the road. See enclosed engineers report. Concerns have been raised regarding the suggested additional pond proposed to be located in Country Home Heights Park and regarding possible increased run off into the park. The Park committee may wish to speak to this in a formal manner. DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE A report from the Development Committee which toured the proposed parks to be constructed will be incorporated into the presentation by John Voss. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS LETTER FROM JIM FRISBEE Jim Frisbee wishes to discuss his letter regarding park dedication and assessments. The Park Committee certainly agrees that cost per lot should be at a higher figure. It is suggested that Ken Damlo, the administrative intern, could be asked to study this matter and help obtain background information with the idea of the Park Committee again asking the Council to increase the per unit park dedication dollars figures. A letter from Paul Hauge regarding Oak Chase 4 and an agreement concerning dedication is included for your review. Settling the matter of these assessments is not in the park committee's province at this time so it is suggested that this matter be referred to staff and that Paul Hauge work out the agreement subject to their recommendations. John Voss will discuss an alternate layout for Oak Chase Park for Park Committee review. This is suggested as an alternative if Arnie Carlson is allowed to purchase land from Mr. Frisbee in order to relocate his driveway. If the park committee is favor of this they could require a rezoning. It is suggested that efforts to finalize the agreement on the Oak Chase dedication should be referred to staff when the layout of the park is finalized. Dave Gabbert will discuss park dedication for Ches Mar III. Some members of Planning Commission have expressed an interest in the pond and an area around it being dedicated as public park. Park Director Schmidt has toured the site and feels that park land at 'this location would be inappropriate. We already have a small dedication in Ches Mar I. While the area involved contains a small steep sided pond and some beautifully wooded terrain it is too small to serve a public function. The suggestion to the Park Committee is that the Committee recommend to the Council that this area not be accepted as park dedication and that cash per unit be paid by the developer. The Park Dept. has reviewed the preliminary plat for McKee Addition on Yankee Doodle Rd. and Heritage Lane. This is a replat of 2 of lot 2 and lots 3-10 Block 2 Letendre Addition into 16 R-1 lots. This results in 7a additional lots. The planning commission report indicates that the 7 additional lots should be subject to park dedication. Paul Hauge takes the position that we have 16 new lots which could be subject to park dedication. Mr. Vince Kennedy did not dispute this interpretation at the planning commission meeting. Final resolution of this and other similar situations will probably come from Council action on this matter. DONNEYWOOD At the last park committee meeting the question of installation of the walkway on outlot A and the shaping of the backlot lines as previously promised by the developer in Donneywood Addition was referred to the Park Director. Park Director Schmidt and City Engineer Bob Rosene have met with the property owners and discussed the present park and its future potentia]. The feelings of the property owners is that the backlot portion of the park should be preserved as a natural area. Comments of the Park Director are as follows: The park area is a unique natural area Ach interesting wildlife can be observed there at present. Additional land should be dedicated contiguous to the park when the adjacent property develops. When that occurs the best access to the area will probably be at Outlot E. The installation of the pathway at Outlot A could be delayed at this time since it serves little useful purpose. It can always be installed in the future if conditions warrant. The funds to cover this construction should be deducted from the development bond and deposited in the park site fund designated for the purpose of improving entrance to Donneywood either at Outlot A or E. This recommendation is based on the fact that after touring the park and discussing it in depth with nearby residents I believe that the opposition to the path stems from a genuine concern about preserving the natural aspects of the park area rather than a self-serving desire to keep it private and unused. It is also recommended, however, that the filling of the backyards to provide walking access around the pond should be accomplished. Some engineering questions relating to this remain unanswered at the time of this writing. Additional information should be available at the meeting. At the last meeting the appointment of a trail subcommittee of the Park Committee was scheduled to be done at this time. w.. FOR YOUR MFORMATION The location of the pathway on Outlot A in Donneywood Addition has been agreed upon by the affected property owners after discussion with the Park Director. The Council was polled regarding possible compromises and the final agreement is as follows: The pathway will be located 1 foot south of the North edge of the Outlot, and will be 4 feet in width and therefore will be 5 feet from the south edge of the Outlet and 7 feet from John Tancheff's house. A letter to this effect has been written to Cadence Corporation and work on the pathways is in process. The Pagan Pdrk l:onunittcc, Park Director and the Park Department staff have been awarded certificates of appreciation by the Cedar Athletic Association for outstanding support given to their Baseball -Softball program and the July 4th Junior Olympics. Their favorable comments are greatly appreciated. .

Steve Thompson, Jim Boehave, and Tom Willmus will present 3 plats for residential development for approximately 75 acres on Johnny Cake Ridge Road, North of Cliff Road. No additional information is available at this time. Gabbert Development: At the 7-6-77 Council Meeting the preliminary plat for Ches Mar '3rd Addition was approved with the exception that the park committee suggestion for a trail between 2 lots leading into the well site was referred back to the Park Committee with the suggestion that it be relocated in the Cliff Road Right of way. Bob Rosene agrees with this recommendation since all that will be located on that section of the well site are 2 large reservoirs. Careful consideration should be given where said trail should be located so as to interconnect with the proposed future regional trail on Cliff Rd. Also consideration should be given as to whether the path way should he installed at this time. At a recent meeting with the Dakota County Highway Department, the Eagan City Council reconfirmed their request that the width of 13 feet for berm area adjacent to the cul-de-sac in Woodgate be maintained. John loss will present final plans and cost estimates and a contract for supervision of park construction for approval by the Park Committee and a recommendation to the City Council that the plans be approved, and that John Voss he authorized to prepare bids and specifications and advertise for bids for the proposed contruction. lie will also present the contract for supervision of the construction for acceptance and recommendation to the Council. DONNEYWOOD BACKGROUND INFORMATION In 1973 when the final plat for this development was approved the park committee specified that the park dedication for Donneywood would consist of preservation of the natural area surrounding the pond. Shoreline on LeMay Lake was also included in the dedication. Public_ access was to be provided to the natural area by 2 six foot wide asphalt pathways to be installed on outlots A and B by the developer. Access to the LeMay Lake portion of the dedication was.to be provided adjacent to outlot E. The Developer also agreed to provide fill for the southern area of the park adjacent to outlot E and at the rear of adjacent lots to improve access and to properly blend the lot lines into the park land. Requests to expedite pathway construction and a request to eliminate one pathway have been received from residents..Also a petition from the Donneywood neighborhood with an alternate pathway proposal has been received by the Park Department. Unfortunately the cover sheet on the petition contains much incorrect information so a great deal of misunderstanding exists. Bob Rosene should be present to clarify the situation relating to the pond level and fill. I (1) Aiiai{::A iPr„ idO=C.SAT - 7 1)C.; IN WOOD d SIDE". 70 PARK DOAFw Pii010;;A?: Since the proposal to construct a walking,path from outlet A to outlet would sacrifice 21% of the wetlands area (10,000 sq. ft. out of a total of 47,197 sq. ft.) vie feel that an alternative proposal would be more consistant with good conservation practises, and would cause significantly ]ess danale to the sensitive ecosystem of the pond area. The area set aside as park in the Donnywood addition does not provide land suitable for playground or recreation. One outstanding feature is, however, a pond of approximately 45,000 sq, ft. This pond serves as a wild life habitat in it:5 rresent form, visited by such species as ducks, muskrat, green herons, turtles,black-hooded night herons, sandpipers, -egrets, and kingfishers. To significantly allow mankind to intrude upon this enclave of wilderness would obviously upset the ecosystem of such a small and fragile wildlife preserve. Preserving the characteristics of this pond while providing an opportu- nity for all interested persons to observe the wildlife which inhabit the pond are significant features of our alternative proposal. This proposal requires no filling of the pond, and would require the cutting"of no trees. A path of approximately 500 ft.'in'length would -enter the park on the Jurdy Road frontage adjacent to outlot E and follow a line parallel to the ist line of the 5 z of the NV .1 of section 10 before curving into the open space between the pond and Lema�sLake. This path would terminate in an observation deck which would discourage further intrusion upon the pond area and would prevent disturbance of wildlife. (2) There are several advantages to,,this plan as opposed to the Park Board's plan for a path along the southwest boundary of the park. 1. Access to Lemays Lake and to the park are assured for all 2. Wildlife will not be driven from the park by through traffic 3. 21% of -the actual water area-will;not be filled.-, 4. Observers will be in abetter position to observe the wildlife j. Walking distance to Lemays Lake will be shorter for most residents 6. A wildlife area would be opened to the Iligh density housing area of Highsite apartments 7. Cost to the Park Board will be I considerably lower.than the Park Board's own proposal 8. Unlike the Park Board's porposal,-the Residents' plan provides for access to Lemays Lake as well as to the pond area \J� PROPOSAL FOR A 7:ATUPP. TRAIL IN A PARK LOCATvi IW LONNT.-70UD ADDITION: We, the undersigned, propose.to the Eagan Park Board, a walking trail to enter the Donnywood Addition park lands from Jurdy Road, parallel and as.close . as possible to, the northwest edge .of,outlot_E.' Said path will extend to a line . parallel with and 1133.40 ft west of the,east line of the Sz of the W. of section 10, and follow said line to a point 30 feet from the shore of Lemays Lake, there to terminate in an observation deck. Said path to be constructed without disturbing wildlife habitat cutside of an area five feet on either side of the center line of the path, the surface of the path to be of a material other than concrete or asphalt paving. We further propose that this path be constructed as a alternative to the proposed path along the southwest boundary of the park.

Requests have also been received from residents adjacent to outlot B for immediate installation of the,proposed pathway at that location. The developer wishes to install both pathways at the same time. The Development Committee has toured the site on several occassions, members of the City Staff have met with residents of Donneywood and the surrounding neighborhood and the following recommendations have been made to the Park Committee. The Development Committee recommends that: 1. Six foot wide asphalt pathways should be installed on Outlots A and B according to the agreement, made between the developer and the City Council. as a condition of final plat approval. a. To provide clearly defined public access to the city park land. b. To provide access to the land locked parcel adjacent to the park land. 2. The Park Committee should also add additional footage leading into the park area to the trail on outlot;A':: to prevent it's ending abruptly at the rear, lot lines. 3. Fill should be provided by the developer in the low area in the southern portion of the park as originally agreed at the time of platting. a. To allow walking access through the natural area from one side of the park to the other. b. To provide better access to the park in the area adjacent to Outlot E. HAUGE & HOEY, P.A.-- Attorneys at Law 3908 SIBLEY MEMORIAL HIGHWAY EAGAN (ST. PAUL). MINNESOTA 55122 .:.W PT naUGE July 5. 1977. •, c;,i,..: TO: City Council CITY OF EAGAN FROM: Paul H. Hauge RE: PARK DEDICATION ON RE -SUBDIVIDED LOTS Where a tract which was platted prior to the passage of Eagan's Park Dedication Ordinance is later presented for replatting, the question arises as to whether the tract can be required to dedicate for parks, or whether the prior platting approval "grandfathers" in the tract so that nark dedi- cation cannot be required. The further question arises as to whether, if the first platting is exempt from dedication, the re -platting is subject to dedication to the extent that the number of lots is increased in the new nlat. The applicable statute, M.S.A.§462.358 Subd.2, speaks'of "subdivisions to be developed" and provides that "a reasonable proportion of each proposed subdivision be dedicated to the public." This suggests that if the subdi- vision is yet to be developed, dedication could be required of the. entire subdivision. However, this would result in an inequity between old, exempt subdivisions and old subdivisions which are no longer exempt because of re - platting. On the other hand, not to require dedication of re -platted land would result in an inequity between land presented for platting approval which has not been platted before and is subject to dedication and that land which was platted before park dedication was required and is exempt. If the :area is to be completely re -platted, it seems that tho old plat is ❑cxL-to-useless in practical terms, and that the fact of prior nlatt- ing should not stand in the way of park dedication. A useless prior plat should be no different from no prior platting at all, since neither is holp- ful to the City in its planning decisions. The purpose of §462.358 is to aid cities in carrying on planning and to allow a prior plat which will not; be abrogated to stand in the way of the statute's purpose seems unfair to the city. So it is arguable that park dedication can be required of land presented for replatting. Thegame skettla alsa he top of additional lots if the City decides not to require dedication of the entire tract. The new lots will increase the burden on parks beyond the burden which the old plat would have had. Because of this, it seems clear that dedication can be required of the addi- tional lots in a re -platted area. --- 'there is no clear legal basis for this conclusion, at least in Minn - os t?La, but it would appear reasonable to require park dedication for the new lots.

A letter of thanks has been written by the department and plans are underway to open the building for teen recreational activities. Permission has been granted by Blue Cross for the install- ation of a second soccer field on their property. This will be of great help in meeting the needs of the Eagan Athletic Organization for fields for their fall programs. A specific chemical,B.S.M.A.,to kill sand burs has been recently approved for use. Both Country Home Heights and, Highview Parks have heavy infestation of this weed. Our contract sprayer will treat the two parks using this new chemical for $147.00 or $21.00 per acre. This would be in addition to the broadleaf weed control program. The Park Director will secure a recommendation from the U. of Minn. before ordering the application. REGULAR MEETING PARD COPPIITTEE EAGAN, MINNESOTA CITY HALL AUGUST 11, 1977 7:30 P.M.

Also there will be a Special Park Committee Meeting Thursday, August 18nth to approve the Park Construction Package. This meeting will he held at.the City Hall at 7:30 P.M. Because of the growing need for and interest in non -motorized trails in Dakota County; The Planning Advisory Commission recommends that the County Board direct the County Parks Department and the County Planning Department to establish the needs and priorities in a county -wide trail plan; And, investigate the possibility of mutual funding of such trails between the county and municipalities as well as participation with state agencies such as MVDOT, and also federal sources. NEIGHBORHOOD 28 1) Methology for Saturation Population of Neighborhood 28 In the determination of the amount of open space or park space needed for neighborhood 28 the following procedures are used: 1) The determination of the boundaries of neighborhood 28 2) To define the already developed areas within neighborhood. 28 and determine the holding capacity when these - developments have a 100 per cent saturation of population. 3) The determination of the amount of undeveloped land .within neighborhood 28 and project the holding capacity at 100 per centpopulation saturation. This is done in accordance with Eagan's land use guide. The three factors above will define the saturation of population. or(holding capacity) when neighborhood 28 is 100% developed. 'Once the estimated number of people have been calculated for neighborhood 28 a determination may be made for the amount of park land which should be provided for neighborhood 28. Neighborhood Boundaries Attached Exhibit "A" illustrates -the neighborhood boundaries used in this study. The boundaries are County Road No. 30 along the north, County Road 31 (Pilot Knob Road) along the east, County Road 32 (Cliff Road) along the south and the proposed alignment for I -35E along the east. - Easements for I -35E have been provided for in Eagan's Land Use Development Guide. The Minnesota State Highway Department has completed.the Environmental Impact Statement in draft form, and.the construction of I -35E should begin in the near future. The neighborhood 28 boundaries mentioned above comprise all o[ Section 28 (640 acres) and the eastern portion of Section 29 (239.79 acres) for a total of 879.79 acres. Saturation Population The projected holding capacity or sat ration population of neighborhood 28 is estimated at 10,318 ople. This was determined by the number of dwelling unitSc-- Committed by approved subdivision and preliminary plats, -rhe remaining undeveloped land was then calculated according to the Land Use Guide.

Park Area Standards Park area of open space needs are generally expressed in the number of ball fields, tennis courts, etc, for a given population. This informationisrevi.ed periodically and there is not one reconized authoritive source.. Rather the source US e,1 for this study were a combination wherein thereseemedto be general but not. exl'ict agreement. Metro Council Development Guide - Open Space Section Planning Design Criteria - Joseph DeChiara and Lee Koppelman National Recreation F, Park Association Standards Eagan Park Development Guide - May 1973 The requirements are generally as follows Tennis Courts l court for each 1,500 people' Play Areas 1 play area for each 1,000 people Softball Field 1 field for each 3,000 people Football Field 1 field for each 10,000 people Neighborhood Park Area for above activities: 2 acres for each 1,000 people. III. Park Area Needs Neighborhood. 28-29 In reference to table 1 neighborhood no. 28.has a holding.capacity of 10,318. According to Park Area Standards the need for active neighborhood facilities are as follows: Tennis.Courts At least six courts will be needed. These courts should be strategicly located.throughout neighborhood 28. Play Areas By the requirements stated above 10.play areas.should be provided. However Eagan's plans are for larger and fewer parks within the neighborhood.With Thomas Lake Park in the SE corner of neighborhood 28 it may be advisable to request.a smaller play area, more centrally.located which would serve the active'pa_rk re-. quirements. Softball Fields_ At least three softball fields should be provided. Possibly l'or 2. fields could be incorporated in the active area in Thomas Lake Park, with the last being incor- porated,with a designated play area in the proposed new park. Neighborhood Park Area Neighborhood 28 has apparent need for 20.63 acres (2 acres per 1,000 for 10,318) of neighborhood park area that can accomodate active park development. With the large Thomas Lake Park in the southeast corner of neighborhood 28 an area of 6-10 acres more centrally located would serve the proposed park needs. IV. Location of Facilities in Neighborhood 28 The location of the facilities mentioned above may possibly be split in two locations. First, the.active area in Thomas Lake Park. Secondly, a 6-10 acre park, which should possibly be located northeast of Mallard.Park 3rd Addition. This proposed location fora park will be sited in (Exhibit A)'• NEIGHBORHOOD 28-29 Park Location Thomas Lake Pilot Knob 5 Park Cliff Road New proposed East of Johnny Park Cake Ridge Rd. V. Summary Size approx. 44 acreas 6-10 acres Tennis Softball Play Courts Fields Areas 3 1 1' 3 2 1 Although there_is approximately 40 acres of passive park area in neighborhood 28, some active park land should be acquired to fulfill the active park requirements. This parcel.should be in a more centrally located area as compared to the Thomas Lake Park. With this additional 6-10 acres of park land all the park requiremenet6 should be met for the neighborhood activities. There is.also a proposed major trail system proposed along the Northern States Power Company easement. This should be watched closely when development occurs, so as to obtain the needed easements for the continuation of this trail D. Runkle .July 20.,1977 . a n J 91A Nuc 171 N.

Council Meetings - Tom Hedges will report on recent Council actions which include the hiring of CETA employee Don Weckop as a permanent member of the Park Department maintenance crew. Don is the first CETA employee to be picked up by the City. Park Director Schmidt was also authorized to prepare a grant application to the State Department of Natural Resources for maintenance funds for our existing cross country ski trails. Dakota County has been gontacted regarding contracting for maintenance for this coming season. He will also '- discuss recent Council action ort Wilderness Park II in requiring cash in escrow for pending park dedication:;" 2. Park Department - The Park Director has submitted a number of grants to the State Planning Agency for park acquisition and development and these will be reviewed for the committee. Dorothy Peterson will advise the committee on several recreation programs which are due to begin soon. 3. Special Meetings - Myrel Lun.dsten will discuss items covered in the Park Dedication Work Session. The next meeting of this work study group should be scheduled. John Voss is available the evening of Thursday, October 20 or Wednesday, October 26, and will have a memo regarding cash dedication which he would like to explain to the group. 9. Neil Coates will report on the Development Committe tour of Duckwood Estates. Developers 1. Duckwood Estates.- John Klein will appear to hear the Park Committee's decision on park dedication for Duckwood Estates. Paul Hauge has advised the staff that the dedication was satisfied according to the rules in effect at the time it was made and, therefore, today's standards for park and ponding do not apply to this dedication. Bob Rosene is contacting IDS Properties regarding the promised easement on their property from the dedicated park land to the pond referred to as Duckwood Lake. Agenda Information Memo October 7, 1977 Page Two 2. Arnold Carlson will present the plat for Wilderness Run III. A copy of the planners report is enclosed. An approxi- mately 16 acre parcel immedicately adjacent to this develop- ment is scheduled to be dedicated by Ed Dunn as soon as the future alignment of Lexington Avenue is determined. According to Bob Rosene this should be completed by February, 1978. It would seem that cash per lot would be the appropriate dedication but consideration could be given to walkway easements from this plat into the park property. 3. Oak Chase Park Dedication - See memo to the Committee from the Park Director regarding alternative park dedications and assessments. The Council has requested a final decision on this matter so that it may be resolved at the October 18, 1977 City Council meeting. 4. Ea an Hills - Dale Runkle will report on the reaction of Ro Hadi rdy to the Park Committee's recommendation for park credit.for tract construction for Eagan Hills. Old Business 1. Summer Recreation Costs - Dorothy Peterson will discuss summer recreation cost comparisions as previously requested by the Park Committee. 2. Dale Runkle will report on the Jonathon Tour. 3. Barb Schmidt will review the current status of the Park Department Budget. FOR YOUR INFORMATION MC CARTHY HOUSE Park Director Schmidt has met with Mike Landis of the Minnesota Historical Society regarding the McCarthy (louse in Patrick Eagan Park. Mr. Landis does not believe that State or Federal agencies would be interested in the building but suggests that it does have local historical significance if the City is`,interested in preserving it. The original McCarthy homestead was a 2 story log cabin built from hand hewn logs. The original logs have been covered with siding on the outside and paneling on the inside and extra rooms have been added. Restoring it to the original log cabin would entail a great deal of work. The Minnesota Historical Society could provide technical assistance and possibly 50% matching funds through a grant-in-aid program to accomplish this. Once restored the building could be used as a cross country ski chalet. It would be small but could accomodate a limited number of people wishing to warm up after skiing or to check over the map before going out. Skis could also be rented from this location, an attendant would be needed which is a cost consideration for any of the above uses. The City of Eagan should decide whether they wish to restore an example of one of the original homes built in this community. If so,it could be incorporated into the park system and utilized to a limited extent. The Historical Society does endorse use of old buildings rather than simply restoring and preserving them. If the City feels it is unable to restore the building at this time, Mr. Landis recommends that it be saved and perhaps evaluated again years in the future. It could conceivably have more value to future generations than we can see today. We have encountered no vandalism problems while the building has been empty. If any do occur the situation could be reevaluated. I recommend that we not use the building for a tear gas demonstration at this time. Mr. Landis will be supplying us with information on restoral techniques and available grant monies. When this information is received we can evaluate the cost of restoring and utilizing the building. OAK POND HILLS Mr. Floyd Forsberg appeared before the City Council on 9-20-77 and was given final plat approved for Oak Pond Hills subject to park committee recommendation. This plat consists of 4 one acre lots on Cliff Rd. east of Lakewood Hills. The plat is too small for land dedication and park needs for the area will be accomplished under the Lexington South PUD. The final plat has been approved. The development agreement is ready to be signed. Therefore; in order to avoid delaying this development for over 20 days, the Park Director and the Park Committee chairperson have agreed upon and transmitted to the City Hall,,the recommendation that cash per lot be required from this developer. PARK COMMITTEE MEMBERS -TERMS OF OFFICE The terms of Park Committee members John Roszak, Roger Martin, and Norm Hagen which were due to expire in November have been extended until the organizational meeting in January at which time their reappointments will be considered as well as the previous vacancy created by'the resignation of Bob Seuer. Park Committee members wishing to be re -appointed to another three year term should submit a letter to the City Council expressing their interest in the position. For Your Information - Cont. The City of Eagan Park Department has again received a gift of $250.00 from Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates Inc. to be used for the purchase of playground or related equipment wherever suitable. A thank you letter has been written by the Park Director on behalf of the Park Committee and the City will also respond. SOUTH DELAWARE HILLS 0 The rezoning of the Inver Grove Heights portion of South Delaware Hills was turned down because "the applicant couldn't show cause that the area had changed substantially enough to warrant a rezoning." There was opposition from surrounding five acre property owners. The City Administrator responded to our letter with the statement that the question of park dedication was "moot" at this time because of the above action. A copy of the Park Commiptee letter to the Inver Grove Heights City Council is enclosed for your review. CURRENT GRANT APPLICATIONS Representations from the State Planning Agency and the Metropolitan Council have recently reviewed the sites involved in our three pending applications. Decisions on the tennis court and trail grants are expected in mid- November and on the Lawcon Grant in mid-December. COMMUNITY EDUCATION ADVISORY COUNCIL There is a position available for an Eagan resident from the 197 School District on the Community Education Advisory Council for that district. •�,,_ There is particular interest in having a member from the Park Committee bacause of the increasing cooperation between community education and municipal recreation. Any Park Committee member who qualifies, and is willing to serve on this committee, should contact Tom Lisic, the Community Education Director. Park Committee Members are also urged to suggest other people who might be interested in this position. An informational meeting will be held on the Cliff Road improvement project as a part of the regular Council meeting on October 18. The matter of trails on Cliff Road will be one of the items discussed. 2 M For your Information - Cont. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Future park on Willmus property is a recommendation rather than a committement,because Mallard Park (Willmus) does not have a PUD. Previous Council action was only a rezoning. , .r To make this recommendation more official the Eagan Park Guide Map should be officially revised. Other similar items include the additional land recommended adjacent to South Oaks - 3 3060 Woodlark Lane Eagan, Minnesota September 26, 1977 ?. Eagan Park Department 3501 Coachman Road Eagan, Minnesota 55121 Dear Barb, We were pleased to learn in our recent Timberline meeting that improvements to Pilot Knob Park are being planned fot'construction in an orderly and professional manner. Many residents present that evening expressed their opinions on the current plans for development of the park. While we are in agreement with the general plans for development, we have a strong consensus of opinion that specifically does not desire flood lighting to be included in the plans for the tennis courts. Residents feel the intense flood lighting required for tennis courts would not be able to be entirely contained on public landethereby adversely affecting the privacy of those residing near the park land. A secondary problem could also arise with excessive noise into the night from players on lighted courts where occupants desire peace and quiet in the evening. It is noted that appropriate security lighting should be installed to protect equipment in the park and in the "pump house" area. Lighting of this intensity would not have the adverse flooding effect that would be created by the proposed tennis court lighting. Future plans for the park should include consideration of playground equipment for the many children in the nearby neighborhoods. In other park areas timber style forts, swings, spring type animals and sand areas have seemed to fill the recreational needs of children in this age group. As you are well aware, the residents of Timberline have worked several years toward the acquisition and development of a Pilot Knob Park. These comments are meant to be positive and constructive in nature and as a representative expression of the majority of Timberline residents. We do appreciate your continuing concern for the quality development of the Eagan Park System. } Yours very truly, T RLINE IVIC ASSOCIATION Arthur M Wallace,,President. COST COMPARISONS - SUMER IN THE PARK To definitively compare summer program costs with other communities in the area was not possible as precisely as I would have preferred. The major reason being none had broken down attendance and cost figures. Secondly, the programs vary from community to community so much that in using cost figures to evaluate a program, one loses sight of the real service the program gives the community and one can not assess that unless one is aware of all other alternatives the children have. Such as summer school, day time athletic association committments and the like. Rosemount: Seven week program at 4 parks, run 2 days a week each (like our Lexington -Burr Oaks), morning and afternoon sessions. Fifth day of the week was for special events such as field trips, Jr. Olympics etc. Two leaders per park: Adult leader $3.00 per hour, aide a CETA person --had 2 sets of leaders. No registration fee, charged 25¢ fee for craft projects. Averaged 10-15 children at a park per session. Projecting cost figures from this data: $.90 per child per total attendance. This does not include the craft or special event budget figures which were unavailable but based solely on leader salary costs. Shakopee: Seven week program, five days a week, morning playground sessions, afternoons for crafts and puppetry. Hired 4 leaders, really 2 leaders and an aide each. Summer budget of $3450 to cover salaries and craft supplies. Averaged 35 children per session no reg. fee. Cost per child per total attendance in the neighborhood of $1.40 per child. New Brighton: Six week program at seven sights --no registration fee; 2 leaders per location. Worked on a salary schedule based on age and experience... example high school sr. with no exp. $2.40 per hour, college freshman $2.45, college grad. $2.90 with I yr. exp. High school Sr. $2.50, college freshmna $2.55, college grad. $3.00. Average salary was $2.90 - 3.00 an hour. Leaders worked 6 hrs. a day. Had morning, afternoon and evening sessions; averaged 20 children per session. Projected cost per child per total attendance based on salary alone is $.55 per child. No cost for crafts, athletic equipment or special events included in this accounting. This is based on salaries of $1002 per sight; 60 children per day, S days a week for 6 weeks. Hopkins: Seven week program, 17 parks plus 2 travel wagons. Two leaders per park, leader $3.50-4.15 per hour, Jr. Leader $2.35 per hour. Playgrounds ran 4 full days and i day on Friday. Leaders worked 27 hours a week. Did not have attendance figures analyzed but felt they averaged 20-30 children per sight per session. Craft budget of $35 per park per week! Based on lowest average attendance and lowest salaries cost per child per total attendance about $1.07. South St. Paul: Seven week program with registration fees varying from $3 to $10 depending on age group and activities included for that age. Total registration of 440 children. Mad 4 leaders, one day camp director, one tiny tots director, 1 teen director and 1 bus driver paid 3.50 to 3.90 an hour. CETA employees used as aides to keep a 1-30 leader -child ratio. Fees pay for perhaps 20% of costs. $11,000 budgeted for salaries. With an average daily attendance of 409 children, 5 days a week for 7 weeks the cost per child per total attendance would be about $.77. This is based on salaries alone as craft supplies etc. are covered by the registration fee. Eden Prairie: Eight week program; the most varied and diversified program in the area. Charge a fee of $2.50 per child or $5 per family. Use two leaders per location except for preschoolers who have 3 leaders. Fee does not begin to cover the cost of the program. Averaged 15-20 children per session at 6 tiny tot a.m. programs and summer fun afternoon programs 4 days a week plus two evenings. The recreation director did not have any figures to give me so I cannot guess on a comparable cost. Their teen summer work program is a $6000 program in the budget. Had 35-40 teens working alongside CETA workers supervised by 2 leaders. The teens were paid 50¢ an hour; would work a 12 hour week and then get a recreational activity like going down the Apple River. If they didn't work 12 hours, they didn't get to go on the trip. As can be noted from just these six cities, no two programs are the same. Each is built to fit the needs of that particular community. Salaries offered to leaders vary significantly, those with higher salaries attract older more experienced people to work as leaders. Length of program varies from six to eight weeks depending on community needs. Not all communities have a tiny tot program, not all have programs especially for teens. Some communities are highly programmed and minutely scheduled, others are more open. Many communities have culminating activities involving all the children at one sight; this does not always involve busing. Rosemount. or Shakopee for example. i As S NEIGHBORHOOD 15 Methodology for saturation population of Neighborhood 15. In the determination of the amount of open space or park space needed for Neighborhood 15 the following procedures were used: 1. The `determination of the boundaries of Neighborhood 15 2. To define the already developed areas within Neighborhood 15 and determine the holding capacity when these developments have a 100 per cent saturation of population. 3. The determination of the amount of undeveloped land within Neighborhood 15 and project the holding capacity at 100 per cent population saturation. This is done in accordance with Eagan's Land Use Guide. The tree facts above will define the saturation of population or (holding capacity) when Neighborhood 15 is 100 per cent developed. Once the estimated number of people have been calculated for Neighborhood 15 a determination may be made for the amount of park land which should be provided for Neighborhood 15. Neighborhood Boundaries Attached Exhibit "A" illustrates the neighborhood boundaries used in this study. The boundaries are Yankee Doodle Road to the north; the future alignment of Wescott Road to the south; County Road 43 (Lexington Avenue) to the east and County Road 31 (Pilot Knob Road) to the west. The boundary lines mentioned above include 640 acres or all of Section 15. Saturation Population The projected holding capacity or saturation population of Neighborhood 15 is estimated between 5228.4 and 6650.4 people. This was determined by the number of dwelling units committed by approved subdivision and preliminary plats. The remaining undeveloped land was then calculated according to the 'land use guide.

Park Area Needs In reference to table 1 and 2, Neighborhood 15 has a holdin`g-�, capacity between 5,265 and 6,554 people. According toithe park area standards the need for active neighborhood`faciliti:es are as follows: Tennis Courts: 3 to 4 tennis courts should be I located in Section 15. With tennis facilities being in popular demand it may be neces- sary to supply more than the required amount of tennis courts. Play Areas By the requirement listed above, 5-6 play areas should be provided. However, Eagan's plans are for larger and fewer parks within the neigh- borhood. Since there are no play areas within neighborhood 15 it may be advisable to incorporate tot lots in any active park the city is planning to provide for Section 15. Softball Fields At least two softball fields should be provided. There fields should be incorporated into one active park for the neighborhood. Neighborhood Park Area Neighborhood 15 has apparent need for 10 - 13 acres. ( 2 acres per 1,000 for 5,265 to 6,554 population) for active park needs. Nieghborhood 15 has 8.07 passive park, which would be difficult to convert to any active park needs because of the topography. An additional 7 to 10 acres should be provided to fulfill the active park requirements of Neighborhood 15. -t ,x'11 -•7:r'.; ..........- �t`1Y.j:-s1- Neighborhood 15 Page 4 Location of Facilities in Neighborhood 15 It has been difined that there is a need for a 7 to 10 acre park in Neighborhood 15 to serve the active park requirement. The location of this active park should be in the southern portion of the section because most of the residential development will occur in the area. The northern portion of the neighbor- hood is zoned for commercial development so there should not be any residential development in this area. A trail system hsould be considered leading from the.commercial area in the northern portion of the section to the active park area in the southern portion of the neighborhood. Exhibit A sites the proposed active park and trail. Summary Although there is an existing 8.07 acre passive park in=' - - neighbhorhood 15, there should be an additional 7 t0 t0'acres•-.- to fulfill the active park requirements. A trail may also be added to connect the residential area to the shopping and active park facilities. tLo "M �fi M. urn] tLo „��,00 NEIGHBORHOOD'22 STUDY MethSlogy for saturation population of Neighborhood 22.- r In the determination of the amount of open spac;Ylor .- .r--> •,_ park ,space needed . for Neighborhood 22 the following p`rocedtires•� 7 1 were used: 1) The determination of the boundaries of Neighborhood 22. 2) To define the already developed areas within Neighborhood 22 and determine the holding capacity when these developments have a 100 per cent saturation of population. 3) The determination of the amount of undeveloped land within Neighborhood 22 and project the holding capacity at 100 per cent population saturation. This is done in accordance with Eagan's Land Use Guide. The three.factors above will define the saturation of population (or holdinq capacity) when neighborhood 22 is 100 per cent developed. Once the estimated number of people have been calculated for Neighborhood 22 a determination may be made for the amount of park land which should be provided for Neighborhood 22. I. NEIGHBORHOOD BOUNDARIES Attached Exhibit "A” illustrates the neighborhood boundaries used in this study. The boundaries are the north section line of Section 22. (The future alignment of Wescott Road, to the south; County Road Number 30; to the cast, County Road Number 43 (Lexington Ave.) and to the west, County Road Number 31 (Pilot Knob Road). The boundary lines mentioned above include all of Section 22. Saturation Population The projected holding capacity or saturation population of Neighborhood 22 is estimated between 5,224 and 8,410 people. This was determined by the number of dwelling units, committed by approved subdivisions and preliminary plats. The remaining undeveloped land was then calculated according to the Land Use Guide.

PARK AREA NEEDS NEIGHBORHOOD 22 In reference to Table 1 and 2, Neighborhood 22 has a holding capacity between 5,224 and 8,410 people. According to Park Area Standards the need for active neighborhood facilities are as follows: Tennis Courts According to the holding capacit;- of Neighborhood 22, 4 to 6 tennis courts are needed to satisfy the park requirements. These courts should be centrally located and accessible by all people within the neiqhborhood. Play Areas According to the requirements stated above, 5 to 8 play areas should be provided. However, Eagan's plans are for larger and fewer parks within the,neigh- borhood. With Patrick Eagan. Park located in the eastern portion of the neighborhood it may be advisable to request larger and fewer play areas more centrally located in Neighborhood 22. Softball Fields 1' to 2 softball fields should be provided in Neighborhood 22. If possible an active area should be incorporated in Patrick Eagan Park to accomodate the active park requirements. Neighborhood Park Area Neighborhood 22 has apparent need for approximately 10 to 16 acres (2 acres, 1000 people) of neighborhood park that can accomodate active park development. Patrick Eagan Park (a passive park) should incorporate 10-16 acres of land for active activities. If this is not possible, then 10- 16 acres should be obtained in a centrally located area within Neighborhood 22. Nuirihborho od 22 Page 4 IV. LOCATION OF FACILITIES IN NEIGHBORHOOD 22 The location of the facilities mentioned above may possible be located in Patrick Eagan Park. This park contains approximately 96 acres of which 10 to 16 acres may be converted to active park area. Since this park is within 3/4 of a mile walking distance from any dwelling unit in the neighborhood the location would be suitable to meet the active needs of this area. If this park is not feasible to provide for the active needs of Neighborhood 22 the alternative location for the 10-16 'acre of active park land should be located in the SW; of the NE; of Section 21. Axhibit A will site the alternative location of the proposed active park. Neighborhood 22 V. SUMMARY Although there is approximately 96 acres of passive park area in Neighborhood 22, some active parkland should be acquired to fulfill the active park requirements. This should either be incorporated into the Patrick Eagan Park or acquired elsewhere if the topography is not feasible for active needs listed above. With the additional 10- 16 acres of park land all the park requirements should be -net for the neighborhood activities. Presently there are proposed trails which will provide access to the east side of Patrick Eagan Park. As development occurs to the west of the park, a trail system should be provided so access may be acquired on the west side of Patrick Eagan Park. This would allow good internal circulation within the neighborhood and provide adequate access to Patrick Eagan Park.

Zoological Society, Minnesota Zoo Board, City of Apple Valley and Dakota County Park Director were reviewed. Also the EAW on the project was submitted to the APC. There were concerns regarding the impact upon the County Park, the density of the development, the objective of the City of Eagan to locate a campground closer to the zoo, e.g. on Johnny Cake Ridge Road. A significant number of adjacent property owners were present mcst of whom objected to the proposal. The objections from neighbors included the impact on the general area and the objection that the property was of a residential nature in the area with the ROA being a commercial type operatic There were concerns by Planning Commission members that the park may become a permanent location for mobile homes and trailers. Mr. Ohlmann stated that fire ringE would be included at the site if the PCA permits such rings. He further stated that utilities would have to be extended through two adjacent property owners in order to get to the site. The 20 acre site would include 219 camping sites. After considerable discussion, Blomquist moved and Sperling seconded the motion to recommer. denial of the application with all members voting in favor for reasons including those above and the following: 1. There does not appear to be adequate access to the zoo according to Eagan City Council recommendations. 2. The development appears to be too dense consisting of 219 spaces on 20 acres. 3. The proposed use is not consistent with that shown on the August 1975 zoo area development guide. 4. The intended use does not conform with the mixed residential use according to the Eagan Land Use Guide. 5. The Planner'.s report of November 21, 1978. recommended certain conditions be fulfilled prior to approval of the proposed use. All members voted in favor. 0 Page 3 December 20, 1978 APC Minutes.

The Chairman then convened the public hearing regarding the application of Walter Powers and Mr. Ostendorf for waiver of subdivision regulation from platting and for variance of two acres to allow building permit for single family home on a three acre Agricultural zoned parcel South of Cliff Road on Holland Lake. Mark Parranto appeared for the applicant The report of the Planner dated December 14, 1978, was reviewed indicating a number of issues that should be resolved. There was concern as to the proximity to the Dakota County park and whether it ought to be acquired by Dakota County for park purposes. A letter from Chuck Lowery, the Dakota County Park Director, December 30, 1977, indicating that the County would not be able to acquire the site was read. There were septic tank problems and possible intrusion to the lake. It was noted that Cliff Road will eventually require 150 foot right of way. After discussion, Roszak moved and Harrison seconded the motion to recommend denial of the application because of access problems to County Road #32, intrusion on the park and Holland Lake, that it does not comply with the master land use plan providing for park use 0 Page 4 December 20, 1978 APC Minutes. and possible setback variance problems. All members voted in favor. Chairman Harrison then requested that the staff study the proposed use of the property including the possibility that the County Board reconsider its policy of acquiring small isolated parcels adjacent to the Dakota County park because of their undesir- ability for development purposes and report back to the Council with a proposed resolution for submission to the Dakota County Board. RASMUSSEN ADDITION REZONING AND PRELIMINARY PLAT. The Chairman then convened the public hearing regarding the application of Donald Rasmussen and J.P.R. Park, 'n_. for rezoning Lot 1, Rasmussen Addition to P,-2 zoning from R-1 and for prelimina: plat approval of a revised plat of Rasmussen Addition to be labelled Lake Park Addition.

The increase would be from 16 single family lots to 21 single family lots and 1 duplex lot with the duplex lot at the corner of Cedar Crest and Cliff Road. The location of the gas pipe line easement would be moved Southerly 25 feet to make the duplex lot more useable. The average square footage of the lot is 20,000 square feet on a parcel of 15.87 acres. It was noted that the Lot 11 lot line was adjusted according to the Planner's recommendation and that North tip into Thomas Lake would be acquired from the Dunn & Curry with Cash contribution to the City for park. The tip of land into Thomas Lake on the West owned by Richard Sherer was discussed. Mr. Cedarberg, the owner of Lot 11, Rasmussen Addition, was present and objected to the small lots, the replatting of the lots 13, 14, and 15 in Lake Park Addition because of the size of the lots and other objections. Mr. and Mrs. Sherer were also present and indicated that they objected to the duplex zoning on Cliff P.oad. After considerable discussion, Roszak moved and Blomquist seconded the motion, all members voted in favor, to recommend denial of the rezoning of the lot at Cl+.ff and Cedar Crest to R-2 because it would be spot zoning and out of character 0 Page 5 December 20, 1978 APC Minutes. 0 with the rest of the immediate neighborhood.

The Eagan Park Ordinance was adopted by the City Council at the June 21st meeting and copies will be available for distribution at the park committee meeting. Arrangements are also being made for publication which will determine the effective date of said ordinance. PARK DEPT. REPORT The Park Dept. reports that this year's expanded recreation program is in full swing. We are very pleased with the staff we were able to employ this year. Dorothy Peterson is supervising 28 people in the Summer in the Park Programs, Tumbling and Dance classes and Tennis lessons. We are striving for high quality performance in all of these areas. Five additional people have also been added to the Park Dept. staff as temporary CETA employees. Two persons will cut diseased trees from public lands for the next 6 months, two will prune,water and other wise improve our existing plantings for 6 months and one person has been added to the regular staff for one year. A Public Hearing was held Monday June 27, 1977 regarding the upgrading of Pilot Knob Rd from Yankee Doodle to 494. At the cities request the county has drawn in the trail on both sides of the South mile and on the east side of the North Mile. The map should be available for review during the park committee meeting. No decision has been made on who will pay for the trail if it is included in the final project. However, the Dakota County Planning Commission recommended a resolution which the County Board passes directing the County Parks and Planning Dept. to establish a county wide trail plan and to investigate mutual and/or supplementary funding. See enclosed resolution. Efforts will be made to continue to pursue the construction of this trail and county's participation in the cost if regional funding is not available. A second hearing was held regarding storm sewer along the road. See enclosed engineers report. Concerns have been raised regarding the suggested additional pond proposed to be located in Country Home Heights Park and regarding possible increased run off into the park. The Park committee may wish to speak to this in a formal manner. DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE A report from the Development Committee which toured the proposed parks to be constructed will be incorporated into the presentation by John Voss. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS LETTER FROM JIM FRISBEE Jim Frisbee wishes to discuss his letter regarding park dedication and assessments. The Park Committee certainly agrees that cost per lot should be at a higher figure. It is suggested that Ken Damlo, the administrative intern, could be asked to study this matter and help obtain background information with the idea of the Park Committee again asking the Council to increase the per unit park dedication dollars figures. A letter from Paul Hauge regarding Oak Chase 4 and an agreement concerning dedication is included for your review. Settling the matter of these assessments is not in the park committee's province at this time so it is suggested that this matter be referred to staff and that Paul Hauge work out the agreement subject to their recommendations. John Voss will discuss an alternate layout for Oak Chase Park for Park Committee review. This is suggested as an alternative if Arnie Carlson is allowed to purchase land from Mr. Frisbee in order to relocate his driveway. If the park committee is favor of this they could require a rezoning. It is suggested that efforts to finalize the agreement on the Oak Chase dedication should be referred to staff when the layout of the park is finalized. Dave Gabbert will discuss park dedication for Ches Mar III. Some members of Planning Commission have expressed an interest in the pond and an area around it being dedicated as public park. Park Director Schmidt has toured the site and feels that park land at 'this location would be inappropriate. We already have a small dedication in Ches Mar I. While the area involved contains a small steep sided pond and some beautifully wooded terrain it is too small to serve a public function. The suggestion to the Park Committee is that the Committee recommend to the Council that this area not be accepted as park dedication and that cash per unit be paid by the developer. The Park Dept. has reviewed the preliminary plat for McKee Addition on Yankee Doodle Rd. and Heritage Lane. This is a replat of 2 of lot 2 and lots 3-10 Block 2 Letendre Addition into 16 R-1 lots. This results in 7a additional lots. The planning commission report indicates that the 7 additional lots should be subject to park dedication. Paul Hauge takes the position that we have 16 new lots which could be subject to park dedication. Mr. Vince Kennedy did not dispute this interpretation at the planning commission meeting. Final resolution of this and other similar situations will probably come from Council action on this matter. DONNEYWOOD At the last park committee meeting the question of installation of the walkway on outlot A and the shaping of the backlot lines as previously promised by the developer in Donneywood Addition was referred to the Park Director. Park Director Schmidt and City Engineer Bob Rosene have met with the property owners and discussed the present park and its future potentia]. The feelings of the property owners is that the backlot portion of the park should be preserved as a natural area. Comments of the Park Director are as follows: The park area is a unique natural area Ach interesting wildlife can be observed there at present. Additional land should be dedicated contiguous to the park when the adjacent property develops. When that occurs the best access to the area will probably be at Outlot E. The installation of the pathway at Outlot A could be delayed at this time since it serves little useful purpose. It can always be installed in the future if conditions warrant. The funds to cover this construction should be deducted from the development bond and deposited in the park site fund designated for the purpose of improving entrance to Donneywood either at Outlot A or E. This recommendation is based on the fact that after touring the park and discussing it in depth with nearby residents I believe that the opposition to the path stems from a genuine concern about preserving the natural aspects of the park area rather than a self-serving desire to keep it private and unused. It is also recommended, however, that the filling of the backyards to provide walking access around the pond should be accomplished. Some engineering questions relating to this remain unanswered at the time of this writing. Additional information should be available at the meeting. At the last meeting the appointment of a trail subcommittee of the Park Committee was scheduled to be done at this time. w.. FOR YOUR MFORMATION The location of the pathway on Outlot A in Donneywood Addition has been agreed upon by the affected property owners after discussion with the Park Director. The Council was polled regarding possible compromises and the final agreement is as follows: The pathway will be located 1 foot south of the North edge of the Outlot, and will be 4 feet in width and therefore will be 5 feet from the south edge of the Outlet and 7 feet from John Tancheff's house. A letter to this effect has been written to Cadence Corporation and work on the pathways is in process. The Pagan Pdrk l:onunittcc, Park Director and the Park Department staff have been awarded certificates of appreciation by the Cedar Athletic Association for outstanding support given to their Baseball -Softball program and the July 4th Junior Olympics. Their favorable comments are greatly appreciated. .

Steve Thompson, Jim Boehave, and Tom Willmus will present 3 plats for residential development for approximately 75 acres on Johnny Cake Ridge Road, North of Cliff Road. No additional information is available at this time. Gabbert Development: At the 7-6-77 Council Meeting the preliminary plat for Ches Mar '3rd Addition was approved with the exception that the park committee suggestion for a trail between 2 lots leading into the well site was referred back to the Park Committee with the suggestion that it be relocated in the Cliff Road Right of way. Bob Rosene agrees with this recommendation since all that will be located on that section of the well site are 2 large reservoirs. Careful consideration should be given where said trail should be located so as to interconnect with the proposed future regional trail on Cliff Rd. Also consideration should be given as to whether the path way should he installed at this time. At a recent meeting with the Dakota County Highway Department, the Eagan City Council reconfirmed their request that the width of 13 feet for berm area adjacent to the cul-de-sac in Woodgate be maintained. John loss will present final plans and cost estimates and a contract for supervision of park construction for approval by the Park Committee and a recommendation to the City Council that the plans be approved, and that John Voss he authorized to prepare bids and specifications and advertise for bids for the proposed contruction. lie will also present the contract for supervision of the construction for acceptance and recommendation to the Council. DONNEYWOOD BACKGROUND INFORMATION In 1973 when the final plat for this development was approved the park committee specified that the park dedication for Donneywood would consist of preservation of the natural area surrounding the pond. Shoreline on LeMay Lake was also included in the dedication. Public_ access was to be provided to the natural area by 2 six foot wide asphalt pathways to be installed on outlots A and B by the developer. Access to the LeMay Lake portion of the dedication was.to be provided adjacent to outlot E. The Developer also agreed to provide fill for the southern area of the park adjacent to outlot E and at the rear of adjacent lots to improve access and to properly blend the lot lines into the park land. Requests to expedite pathway construction and a request to eliminate one pathway have been received from residents..Also a petition from the Donneywood neighborhood with an alternate pathway proposal has been received by the Park Department. Unfortunately the cover sheet on the petition contains much incorrect information so a great deal of misunderstanding exists. Bob Rosene should be present to clarify the situation relating to the pond level and fill. I (1) Aiiai{::A iPr„ idO=C.SAT - 7 1)C.; IN WOOD d SIDE". 70 PARK DOAFw Pii010;;A?: Since the proposal to construct a walking,path from outlet A to outlet would sacrifice 21% of the wetlands area (10,000 sq. ft. out of a total of 47,197 sq. ft.) vie feel that an alternative proposal would be more consistant with good conservation practises, and would cause significantly ]ess danale to the sensitive ecosystem of the pond area. The area set aside as park in the Donnywood addition does not provide land suitable for playground or recreation. One outstanding feature is, however, a pond of approximately 45,000 sq, ft. This pond serves as a wild life habitat in it:5 rresent form, visited by such species as ducks, muskrat, green herons, turtles,black-hooded night herons, sandpipers, -egrets, and kingfishers. To significantly allow mankind to intrude upon this enclave of wilderness would obviously upset the ecosystem of such a small and fragile wildlife preserve. Preserving the characteristics of this pond while providing an opportu- nity for all interested persons to observe the wildlife which inhabit the pond are significant features of our alternative proposal. This proposal requires no filling of the pond, and would require the cutting"of no trees. A path of approximately 500 ft.'in'length would -enter the park on the Jurdy Road frontage adjacent to outlot E and follow a line parallel to the ist line of the 5 z of the NV .1 of section 10 before curving into the open space between the pond and Lema�sLake. This path would terminate in an observation deck which would discourage further intrusion upon the pond area and would prevent disturbance of wildlife. (2) There are several advantages to,,this plan as opposed to the Park Board's plan for a path along the southwest boundary of the park. 1. Access to Lemays Lake and to the park are assured for all 2. Wildlife will not be driven from the park by through traffic 3. 21% of -the actual water area-will;not be filled.-, 4. Observers will be in abetter position to observe the wildlife j. Walking distance to Lemays Lake will be shorter for most residents 6. A wildlife area would be opened to the Iligh density housing area of Highsite apartments 7. Cost to the Park Board will be I considerably lower.than the Park Board's own proposal 8. Unlike the Park Board's porposal,-the Residents' plan provides for access to Lemays Lake as well as to the pond area \J� PROPOSAL FOR A 7:ATUPP. TRAIL IN A PARK LOCATvi IW LONNT.-70UD ADDITION: We, the undersigned, propose.to the Eagan Park Board, a walking trail to enter the Donnywood Addition park lands from Jurdy Road, parallel and as.close . as possible to, the northwest edge .of,outlot_E.' Said path will extend to a line . parallel with and 1133.40 ft west of the,east line of the Sz of the W. of section 10, and follow said line to a point 30 feet from the shore of Lemays Lake, there to terminate in an observation deck. Said path to be constructed without disturbing wildlife habitat cutside of an area five feet on either side of the center line of the path, the surface of the path to be of a material other than concrete or asphalt paving. We further propose that this path be constructed as a alternative to the proposed path along the southwest boundary of the park.

Requests have also been received from residents adjacent to outlot B for immediate installation of the,proposed pathway at that location. The developer wishes to install both pathways at the same time. The Development Committee has toured the site on several occassions, members of the City Staff have met with residents of Donneywood and the surrounding neighborhood and the following recommendations have been made to the Park Committee. The Development Committee recommends that: 1. Six foot wide asphalt pathways should be installed on Outlots A and B according to the agreement, made between the developer and the City Council. as a condition of final plat approval. a. To provide clearly defined public access to the city park land. b. To provide access to the land locked parcel adjacent to the park land. 2. The Park Committee should also add additional footage leading into the park area to the trail on outlot;A':: to prevent it's ending abruptly at the rear, lot lines. 3. Fill should be provided by the developer in the low area in the southern portion of the park as originally agreed at the time of platting. a. To allow walking access through the natural area from one side of the park to the other. b. To provide better access to the park in the area adjacent to Outlot E. HAUGE & HOEY, P.A.-- Attorneys at Law 3908 SIBLEY MEMORIAL HIGHWAY EAGAN (ST. PAUL). MINNESOTA 55122 .:.W PT naUGE July 5. 1977. •, c;,i,..: TO: City Council CITY OF EAGAN FROM: Paul H. Hauge RE: PARK DEDICATION ON RE -SUBDIVIDED LOTS Where a tract which was platted prior to the passage of Eagan's Park Dedication Ordinance is later presented for replatting, the question arises as to whether the tract can be required to dedicate for parks, or whether the prior platting approval "grandfathers" in the tract so that nark dedi- cation cannot be required. The further question arises as to whether, if the first platting is exempt from dedication, the re -platting is subject to dedication to the extent that the number of lots is increased in the new nlat. The applicable statute, M.S.A.§462.358 Subd.2, speaks'of "subdivisions to be developed" and provides that "a reasonable proportion of each proposed subdivision be dedicated to the public." This suggests that if the subdi- vision is yet to be developed, dedication could be required of the. entire subdivision. However, this would result in an inequity between old, exempt subdivisions and old subdivisions which are no longer exempt because of re - platting. On the other hand, not to require dedication of re -platted land would result in an inequity between land presented for platting approval which has not been platted before and is subject to dedication and that land which was platted before park dedication was required and is exempt. If the :area is to be completely re -platted, it seems that tho old plat is ❑cxL-to-useless in practical terms, and that the fact of prior nlatt- ing should not stand in the way of park dedication. A useless prior plat should be no different from no prior platting at all, since neither is holp- ful to the City in its planning decisions. The purpose of §462.358 is to aid cities in carrying on planning and to allow a prior plat which will not; be abrogated to stand in the way of the statute's purpose seems unfair to the city. So it is arguable that park dedication can be required of land presented for replatting. Thegame skettla alsa he top of additional lots if the City decides not to require dedication of the entire tract. The new lots will increase the burden on parks beyond the burden which the old plat would have had. Because of this, it seems clear that dedication can be required of the addi- tional lots in a re -platted area. --- 'there is no clear legal basis for this conclusion, at least in Minn - os t?La, but it would appear reasonable to require park dedication for the new lots.

A letter of thanks has been written by the department and plans are underway to open the building for teen recreational activities. Permission has been granted by Blue Cross for the install- ation of a second soccer field on their property. This will be of great help in meeting the needs of the Eagan Athletic Organization for fields for their fall programs. A specific chemical,B.S.M.A.,to kill sand burs has been recently approved for use. Both Country Home Heights and, Highview Parks have heavy infestation of this weed. Our contract sprayer will treat the two parks using this new chemical for $147.00 or $21.00 per acre. This would be in addition to the broadleaf weed control program. The Park Director will secure a recommendation from the U. of Minn. before ordering the application. REGULAR MEETING PARD COPPIITTEE EAGAN, MINNESOTA CITY HALL AUGUST 11, 1977 7:30 P.M.

Also there will be a Special Park Committee Meeting Thursday, August 18nth to approve the Park Construction Package. This meeting will he held at.the City Hall at 7:30 P.M. Because of the growing need for and interest in non -motorized trails in Dakota County; The Planning Advisory Commission recommends that the County Board direct the County Parks Department and the County Planning Department to establish the needs and priorities in a county -wide trail plan; And, investigate the possibility of mutual funding of such trails between the county and municipalities as well as participation with state agencies such as MVDOT, and also federal sources. NEIGHBORHOOD 28 1) Methology for Saturation Population of Neighborhood 28 In the determination of the amount of open space or park space needed for neighborhood 28 the following procedures are used: 1) The determination of the boundaries of neighborhood 28 2) To define the already developed areas within neighborhood. 28 and determine the holding capacity when these - developments have a 100 per cent saturation of population. 3) The determination of the amount of undeveloped land .within neighborhood 28 and project the holding capacity at 100 per centpopulation saturation. This is done in accordance with Eagan's land use guide. The three factors above will define the saturation of population. or(holding capacity) when neighborhood 28 is 100% developed. 'Once the estimated number of people have been calculated for neighborhood 28 a determination may be made for the amount of park land which should be provided for neighborhood 28. Neighborhood Boundaries Attached Exhibit "A" illustrates -the neighborhood boundaries used in this study. The boundaries are County Road No. 30 along the north, County Road 31 (Pilot Knob Road) along the east, County Road 32 (Cliff Road) along the south and the proposed alignment for I -35E along the east. - Easements for I -35E have been provided for in Eagan's Land Use Development Guide. The Minnesota State Highway Department has completed.the Environmental Impact Statement in draft form, and.the construction of I -35E should begin in the near future. The neighborhood 28 boundaries mentioned above comprise all o[ Section 28 (640 acres) and the eastern portion of Section 29 (239.79 acres) for a total of 879.79 acres. Saturation Population The projected holding capacity or sat ration population of neighborhood 28 is estimated at 10,318 ople. This was determined by the number of dwelling unitSc-- Committed by approved subdivision and preliminary plats, -rhe remaining undeveloped land was then calculated according to the Land Use Guide.

Park Area Standards Park area of open space needs are generally expressed in the number of ball fields, tennis courts, etc, for a given population. This informationisrevi.ed periodically and there is not one reconized authoritive source.. Rather the source US e,1 for this study were a combination wherein thereseemedto be general but not. exl'ict agreement. Metro Council Development Guide - Open Space Section Planning Design Criteria - Joseph DeChiara and Lee Koppelman National Recreation F, Park Association Standards Eagan Park Development Guide - May 1973 The requirements are generally as follows Tennis Courts l court for each 1,500 people' Play Areas 1 play area for each 1,000 people Softball Field 1 field for each 3,000 people Football Field 1 field for each 10,000 people Neighborhood Park Area for above activities: 2 acres for each 1,000 people. III. Park Area Needs Neighborhood. 28-29 In reference to table 1 neighborhood no. 28.has a holding.capacity of 10,318. According to Park Area Standards the need for active neighborhood facilities are as follows: Tennis.Courts At least six courts will be needed. These courts should be strategicly located.throughout neighborhood 28. Play Areas By the requirements stated above 10.play areas.should be provided. However Eagan's plans are for larger and fewer parks within the neighborhood.With Thomas Lake Park in the SE corner of neighborhood 28 it may be advisable to request.a smaller play area, more centrally.located which would serve the active'pa_rk re-. quirements. Softball Fields_ At least three softball fields should be provided. Possibly l'or 2. fields could be incorporated in the active area in Thomas Lake Park, with the last being incor- porated,with a designated play area in the proposed new park. Neighborhood Park Area Neighborhood 28 has apparent need for 20.63 acres (2 acres per 1,000 for 10,318) of neighborhood park area that can accomodate active park development. With the large Thomas Lake Park in the southeast corner of neighborhood 28 an area of 6-10 acres more centrally located would serve the proposed park needs. IV. Location of Facilities in Neighborhood 28 The location of the facilities mentioned above may possibly be split in two locations. First, the.active area in Thomas Lake Park. Secondly, a 6-10 acre park, which should possibly be located northeast of Mallard.Park 3rd Addition. This proposed location fora park will be sited in (Exhibit A)'• NEIGHBORHOOD 28-29 Park Location Thomas Lake Pilot Knob 5 Park Cliff Road New proposed East of Johnny Park Cake Ridge Rd. V. Summary Size approx. 44 acreas 6-10 acres Tennis Softball Play Courts Fields Areas 3 1 1' 3 2 1 Although there_is approximately 40 acres of passive park area in neighborhood 28, some active park land should be acquired to fulfill the active park requirements. This parcel.should be in a more centrally located area as compared to the Thomas Lake Park. With this additional 6-10 acres of park land all the park requiremenet6 should be met for the neighborhood activities. There is.also a proposed major trail system proposed along the Northern States Power Company easement. This should be watched closely when development occurs, so as to obtain the needed easements for the continuation of this trail D. Runkle .July 20.,1977 . a n J 91A Nuc 171 N.

Duckwood Estates.- John Klein will appear to hear the Park Committee's decision on park dedication for Duckwood Estates. Paul Hauge has advised the staff that the dedication was satisfied according to the rules in effect at the time it was made and, therefore, today's standards for park and ponding do not apply to this dedication. Bob Rosene is contacting IDS Properties regarding the promised easement on their property from the dedicated park land to the pond referred to as Duckwood Lake. Agenda Information Memo October 7, 1977 Page Two 2. Arnold Carlson will present the plat for Wilderness Run III. A copy of the planners report is enclosed. An approxi- mately 16 acre parcel immedicately adjacent to this develop- ment is scheduled to be dedicated by Ed Dunn as soon as the future alignment of Lexington Avenue is determined. According to Bob Rosene this should be completed by February, 1978. It would seem that cash per lot would be the appropriate dedication but consideration could be given to walkway easements from this plat into the park property. 3. Oak Chase Park Dedication - See memo to the Committee from the Park Director regarding alternative park dedications and assessments. The Council has requested a final decision on this matter so that it may be resolved at the October 18, 1977 City Council meeting. 4. Ea an Hills - Dale Runkle will report on the reaction of Ro Hadi rdy to the Park Committee's recommendation for park credit.for tract construction for Eagan Hills. Old Business 1. Summer Recreation Costs - Dorothy Peterson will discuss summer recreation cost comparisions as previously requested by the Park Committee. 2. Dale Runkle will report on the Jonathon Tour. 3. Barb Schmidt will review the current status of the Park Department Budget. FOR YOUR INFORMATION MC CARTHY HOUSE Park Director Schmidt has met with Mike Landis of the Minnesota Historical Society regarding the McCarthy (louse in Patrick Eagan Park. Mr. Landis does not believe that State or Federal agencies would be interested in the building but suggests that it does have local historical significance if the City is`,interested in preserving it. The original McCarthy homestead was a 2 story log cabin built from hand hewn logs. The original logs have been covered with siding on the outside and paneling on the inside and extra rooms have been added. Restoring it to the original log cabin would entail a great deal of work. The Minnesota Historical Society could provide technical assistance and possibly 50% matching funds through a grant-in-aid program to accomplish this. Once restored the building could be used as a cross country ski chalet. It would be small but could accomodate a limited number of people wishing to warm up after skiing or to check over the map before going out. Skis could also be rented from this location, an attendant would be needed which is a cost consideration for any of the above uses. The City of Eagan should decide whether they wish to restore an example of one of the original homes built in this community. If so,it could be incorporated into the park system and utilized to a limited extent. The Historical Society does endorse use of old buildings rather than simply restoring and preserving them. If the City feels it is unable to restore the building at this time, Mr. Landis recommends that it be saved and perhaps evaluated again years in the future. It could conceivably have more value to future generations than we can see today. We have encountered no vandalism problems while the building has been empty. If any do occur the situation could be reevaluated. I recommend that we not use the building for a tear gas demonstration at this time. Mr. Landis will be supplying us with information on restoral techniques and available grant monies. When this information is received we can evaluate the cost of restoring and utilizing the building. OAK POND HILLS Mr. Floyd Forsberg appeared before the City Council on 9-20-77 and was given final plat approved for Oak Pond Hills subject to park committee recommendation. This plat consists of 4 one acre lots on Cliff Rd. east of Lakewood Hills. The plat is too small for land dedication and park needs for the area will be accomplished under the Lexington South PUD. The final plat has been approved. The development agreement is ready to be signed. Therefore; in order to avoid delaying this development for over 20 days, the Park Director and the Park Committee chairperson have agreed upon and transmitted to the City Hall,,the recommendation that cash per lot be required from this developer. PARK COMMITTEE MEMBERS -TERMS OF OFFICE The terms of Park Committee members John Roszak, Roger Martin, and Norm Hagen which were due to expire in November have been extended until the organizational meeting in January at which time their reappointments will be considered as well as the previous vacancy created by'the resignation of Bob Seuer. Park Committee members wishing to be re -appointed to another three year term should submit a letter to the City Council expressing their interest in the position. For Your Information - Cont. The City of Eagan Park Department has again received a gift of $250.00 from Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates Inc. to be used for the purchase of playground or related equipment wherever suitable. A thank you letter has been written by the Park Director on behalf of the Park Committee and the City will also respond. SOUTH DELAWARE HILLS 0 The rezoning of the Inver Grove Heights portion of South Delaware Hills was turned down because "the applicant couldn't show cause that the area had changed substantially enough to warrant a rezoning." There was opposition from surrounding five acre property owners. The City Administrator responded to our letter with the statement that the question of park dedication was "moot" at this time because of the above action. A copy of the Park Commiptee letter to the Inver Grove Heights City Council is enclosed for your review. CURRENT GRANT APPLICATIONS Representations from the State Planning Agency and the Metropolitan Council have recently reviewed the sites involved in our three pending applications. Decisions on the tennis court and trail grants are expected in mid- November and on the Lawcon Grant in mid-December. COMMUNITY EDUCATION ADVISORY COUNCIL There is a position available for an Eagan resident from the 197 School District on the Community Education Advisory Council for that district. •�,,_ There is particular interest in having a member from the Park Committee bacause of the increasing cooperation between community education and municipal recreation. Any Park Committee member who qualifies, and is willing to serve on this committee, should contact Tom Lisic, the Community Education Director. Park Committee Members are also urged to suggest other people who might be interested in this position. An informational meeting will be held on the Cliff Road improvement project as a part of the regular Council meeting on October 18. The matter of trails on Cliff Road will be one of the items discussed. 2 M For your Information - Cont. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Future park on Willmus property is a recommendation rather than a committement,because Mallard Park (Willmus) does not have a PUD. Previous Council action was only a rezoning. , .r To make this recommendation more official the Eagan Park Guide Map should be officially revised. Other similar items include the additional land recommended adjacent to South Oaks - 3 3060 Woodlark Lane Eagan, Minnesota September 26, 1977 ?. Eagan Park Department 3501 Coachman Road Eagan, Minnesota 55121 Dear Barb, We were pleased to learn in our recent Timberline meeting that improvements to Pilot Knob Park are being planned fot'construction in an orderly and professional manner. Many residents present that evening expressed their opinions on the current plans for development of the park. While we are in agreement with the general plans for development, we have a strong consensus of opinion that specifically does not desire flood lighting to be included in the plans for the tennis courts. Residents feel the intense flood lighting required for tennis courts would not be able to be entirely contained on public landethereby adversely affecting the privacy of those residing near the park land. A secondary problem could also arise with excessive noise into the night from players on lighted courts where occupants desire peace and quiet in the evening. It is noted that appropriate security lighting should be installed to protect equipment in the park and in the "pump house" area. Lighting of this intensity would not have the adverse flooding effect that would be created by the proposed tennis court lighting. Future plans for the park should include consideration of playground equipment for the many children in the nearby neighborhoods. In other park areas timber style forts, swings, spring type animals and sand areas have seemed to fill the recreational needs of children in this age group. As you are well aware, the residents of Timberline have worked several years toward the acquisition and development of a Pilot Knob Park. These comments are meant to be positive and constructive in nature and as a representative expression of the majority of Timberline residents. We do appreciate your continuing concern for the quality development of the Eagan Park System. } Yours very truly, T RLINE IVIC ASSOCIATION Arthur M Wallace,,President. COST COMPARISONS - SUMER IN THE PARK To definitively compare summer program costs with other communities in the area was not possible as precisely as I would have preferred. The major reason being none had broken down attendance and cost figures. Secondly, the programs vary from community to community so much that in using cost figures to evaluate a program, one loses sight of the real service the program gives the community and one can not assess that unless one is aware of all other alternatives the children have. Such as summer school, day time athletic association committments and the like. Rosemount: Seven week program at 4 parks, run 2 days a week each (like our Lexington -Burr Oaks), morning and afternoon sessions. Fifth day of the week was for special events such as field trips, Jr. Olympics etc. Two leaders per park: Adult leader $3.00 per hour, aide a CETA person --had 2 sets of leaders. No registration fee, charged 25¢ fee for craft projects. Averaged 10-15 children at a park per session. Projecting cost figures from this data: $.90 per child per total attendance. This does not include the craft or special event budget figures which were unavailable but based solely on leader salary costs. Shakopee: Seven week program, five days a week, morning playground sessions, afternoons for crafts and puppetry. Hired 4 leaders, really 2 leaders and an aide each. Summer budget of $3450 to cover salaries and craft supplies. Averaged 35 children per session no reg. fee. Cost per child per total attendance in the neighborhood of $1.40 per child. New Brighton: Six week program at seven sights --no registration fee; 2 leaders per location. Worked on a salary schedule based on age and experience... example high school sr. with no exp. $2.40 per hour, college freshman $2.45, college grad. $2.90 with I yr. exp. High school Sr. $2.50, college freshmna $2.55, college grad. $3.00. Average salary was $2.90 - 3.00 an hour. Leaders worked 6 hrs. a day. Had morning, afternoon and evening sessions; averaged 20 children per session. Projected cost per child per total attendance based on salary alone is $.55 per child. No cost for crafts, athletic equipment or special events included in this accounting. This is based on salaries of $1002 per sight; 60 children per day, S days a week for 6 weeks. Hopkins: Seven week program, 17 parks plus 2 travel wagons. Two leaders per park, leader $3.50-4.15 per hour, Jr. Leader $2.35 per hour. Playgrounds ran 4 full days and i day on Friday. Leaders worked 27 hours a week. Did not have attendance figures analyzed but felt they averaged 20-30 children per sight per session. Craft budget of $35 per park per week! Based on lowest average attendance and lowest salaries cost per child per total attendance about $1.07. South St. Paul: Seven week program with registration fees varying from $3 to $10 depending on age group and activities included for that age. Total registration of 440 children. Mad 4 leaders, one day camp director, one tiny tots director, 1 teen director and 1 bus driver paid 3.50 to 3.90 an hour. CETA employees used as aides to keep a 1-30 leader -child ratio. Fees pay for perhaps 20% of costs. $11,000 budgeted for salaries. With an average daily attendance of 409 children, 5 days a week for 7 weeks the cost per child per total attendance would be about $.77. This is based on salaries alone as craft supplies etc. are covered by the registration fee. Eden Prairie: Eight week program; the most varied and diversified program in the area. Charge a fee of $2.50 per child or $5 per family. Use two leaders per location except for preschoolers who have 3 leaders. Fee does not begin to cover the cost of the program. Averaged 15-20 children per session at 6 tiny tot a.m. programs and summer fun afternoon programs 4 days a week plus two evenings. The recreation director did not have any figures to give me so I cannot guess on a comparable cost. Their teen summer work program is a $6000 program in the budget. Had 35-40 teens working alongside CETA workers supervised by 2 leaders. The teens were paid 50¢ an hour; would work a 12 hour week and then get a recreational activity like going down the Apple River. If they didn't work 12 hours, they didn't get to go on the trip. As can be noted from just these six cities, no two programs are the same. Each is built to fit the needs of that particular community. Salaries offered to leaders vary significantly, those with higher salaries attract older more experienced people to work as leaders. Length of program varies from six to eight weeks depending on community needs. Not all communities have a tiny tot program, not all have programs especially for teens. Some communities are highly programmed and minutely scheduled, others are more open. Many communities have culminating activities involving all the children at one sight; this does not always involve busing. Rosemount. or Shakopee for example. i As S NEIGHBORHOOD 15 Methodology for saturation population of Neighborhood 15. In the determination of the amount of open space or park space needed for Neighborhood 15 the following procedures were used: 1. The `determination of the boundaries of Neighborhood 15 2. To define the already developed areas within Neighborhood 15 and determine the holding capacity when these developments have a 100 per cent saturation of population. 3. The determination of the amount of undeveloped land within Neighborhood 15 and project the holding capacity at 100 per cent population saturation. This is done in accordance with Eagan's Land Use Guide. The tree facts above will define the saturation of population or (holding capacity) when Neighborhood 15 is 100 per cent developed. Once the estimated number of people have been calculated for Neighborhood 15 a determination may be made for the amount of park land which should be provided for Neighborhood 15. Neighborhood Boundaries Attached Exhibit "A" illustrates the neighborhood boundaries used in this study. The boundaries are Yankee Doodle Road to the north; the future alignment of Wescott Road to the south; County Road 43 (Lexington Avenue) to the east and County Road 31 (Pilot Knob Road) to the west. The boundary lines mentioned above include 640 acres or all of Section 15. Saturation Population The projected holding capacity or saturation population of Neighborhood 15 is estimated between 5228.4 and 6650.4 people. This was determined by the number of dwelling units committed by approved subdivision and preliminary plats. The remaining undeveloped land was then calculated according to the 'land use guide.

Park Area Standards Park area or open space needs are generally expressed in the number of gall fields, tennis courts, etc. for a given popula- tion. This information is revised periodically and there is not one recognized authoritive source. Rather the source used for this tudy was a combination wherein there seemed to be general but not exact agreement. Metro Council Development Guide - Open Space Section Planning Design Criteria - Joseph DeChiara and Lee Koppelman "ational Recreation and Park Association Standards Eagan Park Development Guide - May 1973 RLI Neighborhood 15 Page 3 The requirements are generally as follows: Tennis courts Play areas Softball Field Football Field Neighborhood park area for above activities: 2 acres for each 1,000 people r. Park Area Needs In reference to table 1 and 2, Neighborhood 15 has a holdin`g-�, capacity between 5,265 and 6,554 people. According toithe park area standards the need for active neighborhood`faciliti:es are as follows: Tennis Courts: 3 to 4 tennis courts should be I located in Section 15. With tennis facilities being in popular demand it may be neces- sary to supply more than the required amount of tennis courts. Play Areas By the requirement listed above, 5-6 play areas should be provided. However, Eagan's plans are for larger and fewer parks within the neigh- borhood. Since there are no play areas within neighborhood 15 it may be advisable to incorporate tot lots in any active park the city is planning to provide for Section 15. Softball Fields At least two softball fields should be provided. There fields should be incorporated into one active park for the neighborhood. Neighborhood Park Area Neighborhood 15 has apparent need for 10 - 13 acres. ( 2 acres per 1,000 for 5,265 to 6,554 population) for active park needs. Nieghborhood 15 has 8.07 passive park, which would be difficult to convert to any active park needs because of the topography. An additional 7 to 10 acres should be provided to fulfill the active park requirements of Neighborhood 15. -t ,x'11 -•7:r'.; ..........- �t`1Y.j:-s1- Neighborhood 15 Page 4 Location of Facilities in Neighborhood 15 It has been difined that there is a need for a 7 to 10 acre park in Neighborhood 15 to serve the active park requirement. The location of this active park should be in the southern portion of the section because most of the residential development will occur in the area. The northern portion of the neighbor- hood is zoned for commercial development so there should not be any residential development in this area. A trail system hsould be considered leading from the.commercial area in the northern portion of the section to the active park area in the southern portion of the neighborhood. Exhibit A sites the proposed active park and trail. Summary Although there is an existing 8.07 acre passive park in=' - - neighbhorhood 15, there should be an additional 7 t0 t0'acres•-.- to fulfill the active park requirements. A trail may also be added to connect the residential area to the shopping and active park facilities. tLo "M �fi M. urn] tLo „��,00 NEIGHBORHOOD'22 STUDY MethSlogy for saturation population of Neighborhood 22.- r In the determination of the amount of open spac;Ylor .- .r--> •,_ park ,space needed . for Neighborhood 22 the following p`rocedtires•� 7 1 were used: 1) The determination of the boundaries of Neighborhood 22. 2) To define the already developed areas within Neighborhood 22 and determine the holding capacity when these developments have a 100 per cent saturation of population. 3) The determination of the amount of undeveloped land within Neighborhood 22 and project the holding capacity at 100 per cent population saturation. This is done in accordance with Eagan's Land Use Guide. The three.factors above will define the saturation of population (or holdinq capacity) when neighborhood 22 is 100 per cent developed. Once the estimated number of people have been calculated for Neighborhood 22 a determination may be made for the amount of park land which should be provided for Neighborhood 22. I. NEIGHBORHOOD BOUNDARIES Attached Exhibit "A” illustrates the neighborhood boundaries used in this study. The boundaries are the north section line of Section 22. (The future alignment of Wescott Road, to the south; County Road Number 30; to the cast, County Road Number 43 (Lexington Ave.) and to the west, County Road Number 31 (Pilot Knob Road). The boundary lines mentioned above include all of Section 22. Saturation Population The projected holding capacity or saturation population of Neighborhood 22 is estimated between 5,224 and 8,410 people. This was determined by the number of dwelling units, committed by approved subdivisions and preliminary plats. The remaining undeveloped land was then calculated according to the Land Use Guide.

PARK AREA NEEDS NEIGHBORHOOD 22 In reference to Table 1 and 2, Neighborhood 22 has a holding capacity between 5,224 and 8,410 people. According to Park Area Standards the need for active neighborhood facilities are as follows: Tennis Courts According to the holding capacit;- of Neighborhood 22, 4 to 6 tennis courts are needed to satisfy the park requirements. These courts should be centrally located and accessible by all people within the neiqhborhood. Play Areas According to the requirements stated above, 5 to 8 play areas should be provided. However, Eagan's plans are for larger and fewer parks within the,neigh- borhood. With Patrick Eagan. Park located in the eastern portion of the neighborhood it may be advisable to request larger and fewer play areas more centrally located in Neighborhood 22. Softball Fields 1' to 2 softball fields should be provided in Neighborhood 22. If possible an active area should be incorporated in Patrick Eagan Park to accomodate the active park requirements. Neighborhood Park Area Neighborhood 22 has apparent need for approximately 10 to 16 acres (2 acres, 1000 people) of neighborhood park that can accomodate active park development. Patrick Eagan Park (a passive park) should incorporate 10-16 acres of land for active activities. If this is not possible, then 10- 16 acres should be obtained in a centrally located area within Neighborhood 22. Nuirihborho od 22 Page 4 IV. LOCATION OF FACILITIES IN NEIGHBORHOOD 22 The location of the facilities mentioned above may possible be located in Patrick Eagan Park. This park contains approximately 96 acres of which 10 to 16 acres may be converted to active park area. Since this park is within 3/4 of a mile walking distance from any dwelling unit in the neighborhood the location would be suitable to meet the active needs of this area. If this park is not feasible to provide for the active needs of Neighborhood 22 the alternative location for the 10-16 'acre of active park land should be located in the SW; of the NE; of Section 21. Axhibit A will site the alternative location of the proposed active park. Neighborhood 22 V. SUMMARY Although there is approximately 96 acres of passive park area in Neighborhood 22, some active parkland should be acquired to fulfill the active park requirements. This should either be incorporated into the Patrick Eagan Park or acquired elsewhere if the topography is not feasible for active needs listed above. With the additional 10- 16 acres of park land all the park requirements should be -net for the neighborhood activities. Presently there are proposed trails which will provide access to the east side of Patrick Eagan Park. As development occurs to the west of the park, a trail system should be provided so access may be acquired on the west side of Patrick Eagan Park. This would allow good internal circulation within the neighborhood and provide adequate access to Patrick Eagan Park.
