File No. 14402 Dear Ms. Schmidt: We have recently been commissioned by the County Board of.Dakota County and Mr. Charles Lowry, Dakota County Park Director to prepare a complete and comprehensive design study for the future development of the Dakota County Park known as Holland -Jensen Park. The park is basically within the Eagan City Limits however the park is adjacent to the Cities of Apple Valley and Rosemount. It is therefore expected that the park development will be of in- terest to all three communities and also to the private developments within the area. It is felt that with proper planning and design this park area can be an asset to the affected communities. For this reason it is felt that your input is very important at this time since the overall design will gradually be realized and can benefit your com- munity. We would like your thoughts, ideas and desires as to what you and your com- munity would like to see in the park. This should indicate types of activities, facilities, location suggestions, means of coordination with your community de- velopments and any other.pertinent information you might feel would be helpful in the study. We would also appreciate copies of your zoning and land use maps, park and.trail location maps and major road layouts. If you have any other suggestions or questions on this matter, please feel free to send it to us or contact our office. We will appreciate your help and in- terest in this endeavor. Yours very truly, BONESTR00, SENE ND RLIK 6 ASSOCIATES, INC. Bradford A. � erg, P. 'Bra ford A. Lem erg.,, P.

The $14,500 was received by Eagan in August 1978. The State contract will expire 12-31-80. If Eagan wishes to take advantage of this grant we should proceed this season as - any additional delay will increase costs. There are some funds available in the park site fund, however, they were not contri- buted from this neighborhood area. Actions requested for consideration: 1. Decision to provide matching grant funds to be repaid by special levy or from other sources.outside of park bond funds. 2. Selection fo desired construction alternative. 3. Authorization for preparation of plans and specifications at a cost of 7% of the contract cost. 0 0 EAGAN PARK DEVELOPMENT GUIDE PROPOSED TRAIL GUIDES. 1. To plan a -City wide trail system with emphasis on safety, 'F0 provide for a wide variety of transportation and recreation needs for persons of all ages. 2. To implement this system as much as possible through the sidewalk and park dedication requirements of the City's subdivision ordinancejthrough coordination with the Dakota County Trail system and by seeking outside sources of funding wherever available. JUSTIFICATIONS 1. To encourage alternate modes of transportation in order to conserve energy. MEMO TO: PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR TOM COLBERT FROM: PARK DIRECTOR SCHMIDT DATE: MARCH 23, 1979 SUBJECT: WESCOTT ROAD SIDEWALK/TRAIL The Trail Subcommittee of the Eagan Park Committee at a special meeting held 3/22/79 recommended that a trail be installed on the south side of Wescott Road and the sidewalk on the north side. It was felt that the trail on the south side of the road would provide a safe bicycle path for youngsters wishing to go to the library facility proposed, to be located on the 40 acre City site. CC: Dale Runkle 1 FOR YOUR INFORMATION The following items are attached for your information and review: 1. Copies of recent revisions to Eagan City Ordinances relative to Public Facilities. 2. A letter received from Niel and Barb Houck, who live on the east border of Patrick Eagan Park. 3. A copy of the final list of suggested facilities for Holland Jensen Park as presented by the Eagan'Park Committee at the April 4, 1979 public meeting on the park master plan. In Addition 1. Dave Wallace has reported that a large number of Eagan residents are interested in seeing a swimming pool constructed by the City. Many of the people he surveyed felt that a pool was the highest priority need for the park system. 2. Another group of residents, consisting mainly of Eagan Hockey Boosters, are currently discussing ways and means of obtaining a covered ice arena. It has been suggested that the two groups consider combining forces.

The older children (3rd $ 4th graders, although the group may have been usurped by some overage children) were not so much enthralled by the hunt, rather were aggressive and out to get all they could. . The younger children (grades K-2) were delightful and behaved in the spirit of the hunt, sharing, showing concern for the success of their friends etc... The areas we roped off for the different age groups were a bit close together and should be farther apart the next time. Thoughts for next year: 1. Change age levels to: ages 2-8 2. Eliminate the films if another way of assembling the group can be devised. 3. Hide the eggs the very last minute so that people wandering through the park do not disturb the hidden eggs. 4. Try another park. Perhaps rotate the site every year. S. Continue to register the children to determine numbers, at least until the hunt grows to the point where hundreds of children come and we simply expect them. 0 0 SUBJECT: TOURNAMENT FIELD USE POLICY LOCATION: NORTHVIEW ATHLETIC FIELD Groups Using the Fields During the week leagues playing 'in -the City of Eagan would be, scheduled to use the Northview Park fields on a regular basis.

MEETING DATE Park and Recreation Director Schmidt reported that the City staff is working on a comprehensive development procedure for all Planning Commission, City Council and Advisory Park Committee items for purposes of coordination and efficiency.

In a motion by Martin, seconded Carroll, all members voting in favor, the first•Thursday of each month was adopted as the official day for regular meetings of the Advisory Park Committee. FUTURE WATER RESERVOIR/SAFARI ESTATES Public Works Director Colbert provided background on a pro- posal presented by the City of Eagan to the Dakota County Board of Commissioners to locate a 4,000,000 gallon water reservoir in Holland Jensen Park east of Galaxie Road and the proposed Safari Estates development. He stated that the reservoir site was ori- ginally planned at a high elevation point in the proposed Safari Estates development and through negotiations with the Dakota County Park Director and Board of Commissions, it appears to be possible that the reservoir site can be located in the Dakota'County Park, Park Committee • • Page Three March 8, 1979 preserving the entire Safari Estates for residential development while combining the reservoir site in the Dakota County Park with such recreation features as a lookout tower, picnic area and other joint uses. The City of Eagan is drafting an agreement to be presented to the Dakota County Board of Commissioners.

Chairperson Lunsten stated that she is planning to attend both committee meetings at various times throughout the year. 1979 COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE/PARK GUIDELINES The City's consulting planner, John Voss, appeared and dis- cussed the proposed comprehensive plan as it relates to goals and policies for the Advisory Park Committee and Park'and Recreation Department. Mr. Voss reviewed the policies that were set forth in the 1973 "Eagan Park Development Guide" stating further than many of the policies had been implemented in the last eight years. He further stated that these policies along with new policies should be examined and encouraged all members of the Advisory Park Committee to attend the next comprehensive land use 'workshop session -to be held on March 13, 1979 at which time the Planning Commission and City Council will discuss park guidelines and policies. Park Committee Page Four March 8, 1979 BRITTANY MANOR Park and Recreation Director Schmidt reviewed the preliminary plat for Brittany Manor. She stated that a neighborhood study was completed for this area and further indicated that a 15 acre neighborhood park has been designated to be located i;i part on the Brown property and part on the R 6 D Services property which will satisfy neighborhood park land needs for the proposed Brittany Manor Addition. She further indicated that the planned all purpose link from the proposed High Line Trail to Holland Jensen Park transects Section 33 and impacts the proposed Brittany Manor development. After reviewing the desirable trail connections as they relate to Brittany Manor, in a motion by Thomas, seconded Radl, all members voting in favor, the Committee recommended that the developer provide the City.of Eagan with a 30 foot wide easement.for trail purposes south of the north line of the proposed R-2 lots 9, 10, 11 and 12; and that the developer grant a 10 foot easement to the (/City between Lots 66 and 67 and construct an 8 foot pathway within that easement, to City specifications, at the time of road con- struction.

In addition, o -tion made by Martin, seconded by Lucke, all members voting in favor, the trail to be constructed on the east side of Johnny Cake Ridge Road in accordance with a 6`ity sidewalk policy, was recommended to be constructed to a 0 fo width in order to conform with the trail which will be built by Dakota County immediately to the south. Public Works Director Colbert will notifythe developer by letter of the clari- fications as to trail widths.- Park and Recreation Director Schmidt also suggested that Outlot A as shown on the proposed plat should not be accepted by the City for park dedication but should be dedicated directly to Dakota County or platted in lots. DUCKWOOD SECOND ADDITION Park and Recreation Director Schmidt reported that park dedi- cation for Duckwood 2nd Addition was satisfied in part when the City of Eagan accepted.the DeBoer pond. However, she stated that the required trail connections to the pond were not provided at that time. Park and Recreation Director Schmidt further indicated that the trail connection which was required for Duckwood First Addition has also not been provided to the.City. .She stated that contact has been made with the developer and the easements are currently being prepared for the trail for Duckwood I and were recently delivered to the City Attorney's office. •- Park Committee • • Page Five March 8, 1979 'After further discussion on the matter, Park and Recreation Director Schmidt stated that the recommendation.of the staff relative to the Duckwood 2nd Addition plat is to require the 30 foot wide trail connection as previously agreed upon at the February 8,1979 Park Committee meeting. She stated that the alignment of said trail in relation to the buildings should be carefully reviewed in the future when the final plans for stage.5 of said development are approved by the City. The City staff was directed to determine whether the trail should be dedicated or handled as an easement or outlot, whichever is most appropriate, and report back to the Advisory Park Committee. HOLLAND JENSEN MASTER PLAN Park and Recreation Director Schmidt indicated that a public meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, April 4 at the Eagan City Hall to review the master plan which is currently being prepared for the 2,000 acre Holland Jensen Park. She encouraged all members of the Advisory Park Committee to attend. Park and Recreation Director Schmidt presented a list of items that she felt the Eagan Advisory Park Committee could share with the Dakota County Park Department as suggestions for park and recreation uses within the community. After discussion and with the addition of several items, the list was acknowledged. Park and Recreation Director Schmidt indi- cated that these items will be discussed at the joint meeting as well as with the County Park Director, Mr. Chuck Lowery, in advance of the meeting. Park Director Schmidtfurther suggested that the Advisory Park Committee prepare a list of items that they feel could be explored for expanding programs in the use of City parks. INFORMATIONAL Advisory Park Committee Member Radl stated that she would like to discuss the feasibility of involving various organizations such as the Lion's Club into.a program of cleaning up City parks.

File No. 14402 Dear Ms. Schmidt: We have recently been commissioned by the County Board of.Dakota County and Mr. Charles Lowry, Dakota County Park Director to prepare a complete and comprehensive design study for the future development of the Dakota County Park known as Holland -Jensen Park. The park is basically within the Eagan City Limits however the park is adjacent to the Cities of Apple Valley and Rosemount. It is therefore expected that the park development will be of in- terest to all three communities and also to the private developments within the area. It is felt that with proper planning and design this park area can be an asset to the affected communities. For this reason it is felt that your input is very important at this time since the overall design will gradually be realized and can benefit your com- munity. We would like your thoughts, ideas and desires as to what you and your com- munity would like to see in the park. This should indicate types of activities, facilities, location suggestions, means of coordination with your community de- velopments and any other.pertinent information you might feel would be helpful in the study. We would also appreciate copies of your zoning and land use maps, park and.trail location maps and major road layouts. If you have any other suggestions or questions on this matter, please feel free to send it to us or contact our office. We will appreciate your help and in- terest in this endeavor. Yours very truly, BONESTR00, SENE ND RLIK 6 ASSOCIATES, INC. Bradford A. � erg, P. 'Bra ford A. Lem erg.,, P.

The $14,500 was received by Eagan in August 1978. The State contract will expire 12-31-80. If Eagan wishes to take advantage of this grant we should proceed this season as - any additional delay will increase costs. There are some funds available in the park site fund, however, they were not contri- buted from this neighborhood area. Actions requested for consideration: 1. Decision to provide matching grant funds to be repaid by special levy or from other sources.outside of park bond funds. 2. Selection fo desired construction alternative. 3. Authorization for preparation of plans and specifications at a cost of 7% of the contract cost. 0 0 EAGAN PARK DEVELOPMENT GUIDE PROPOSED TRAIL GUIDES. 1. To plan a -City wide trail system with emphasis on safety, 'F0 provide for a wide variety of transportation and recreation needs for persons of all ages. 2. To implement this system as much as possible through the sidewalk and park dedication requirements of the City's subdivision ordinancejthrough coordination with the Dakota County Trail system and by seeking outside sources of funding wherever available. JUSTIFICATIONS 1. To encourage alternate modes of transportation in order to conserve energy. MEMO TO: PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR TOM COLBERT FROM: PARK DIRECTOR SCHMIDT DATE: MARCH 23, 1979 SUBJECT: WESCOTT ROAD SIDEWALK/TRAIL The Trail Subcommittee of the Eagan Park Committee at a special meeting held 3/22/79 recommended that a trail be installed on the south side of Wescott Road and the sidewalk on the north side. It was felt that the trail on the south side of the road would provide a safe bicycle path for youngsters wishing to go to the library facility proposed, to be located on the 40 acre City site. CC: Dale Runkle 1 FOR YOUR INFORMATION The following items are attached for your information and review: 1. Copies of recent revisions to Eagan City Ordinances relative to Public Facilities. 2. A letter received from Niel and Barb Houck, who live on the east border of Patrick Eagan Park. 3. A copy of the final list of suggested facilities for Holland Jensen Park as presented by the Eagan'Park Committee at the April 4, 1979 public meeting on the park master plan. In Addition 1. Dave Wallace has reported that a large number of Eagan residents are interested in seeing a swimming pool constructed by the City. Many of the people he surveyed felt that a pool was the highest priority need for the park system. 2. Another group of residents, consisting mainly of Eagan Hockey Boosters, are currently discussing ways and means of obtaining a covered ice arena. It has been suggested that the two groups consider combining forces.

The older children (3rd $ 4th graders, although the group may have been usurped by some overage children) were not so much enthralled by the hunt, rather were aggressive and out to get all they could. . The younger children (grades K-2) were delightful and behaved in the spirit of the hunt, sharing, showing concern for the success of their friends etc... The areas we roped off for the different age groups were a bit close together and should be farther apart the next time. Thoughts for next year: 1. Change age levels to: ages 2-8 2. Eliminate the films if another way of assembling the group can be devised. 3. Hide the eggs the very last minute so that people wandering through the park do not disturb the hidden eggs. 4. Try another park. Perhaps rotate the site every year. S. Continue to register the children to determine numbers, at least until the hunt grows to the point where hundreds of children come and we simply expect them. 0 0 SUBJECT: TOURNAMENT FIELD USE POLICY LOCATION: NORTHVIEW ATHLETIC FIELD Groups Using the Fields During the week leagues playing 'in -the City of Eagan would be, scheduled to use the Northview Park fields on a regular basis.

DUCKWOOD SECOND ADDITION Park and Recreation Director Schmidt reported that park dedi- cation for Duckwood 2nd Addition was satisfied in part when the City of Eagan accepted.the DeBoer pond. However, she stated that the required trail connections to the pond were not provided at that time. Park and Recreation Director Schmidt further indicated that the trail connection which was required for Duckwood First Addition has also not been provided to the.City. .She stated that contact has been made with the developer and the easements are currently being prepared for the trail for Duckwood I and were recently delivered to the City Attorney's office. •- Park Committee • • Page Five March 8, 1979 'After further discussion on the matter, Park and Recreation Director Schmidt stated that the recommendation.of the staff relative to the Duckwood 2nd Addition plat is to require the 30 foot wide trail connection as previously agreed upon at the February 8,1979 Park Committee meeting. She stated that the alignment of said trail in relation to the buildings should be carefully reviewed in the future when the final plans for stage.5 of said development are approved by the City. The City staff was directed to determine whether the trail should be dedicated or handled as an easement or outlot, whichever is most appropriate, and report back to the Advisory Park Committee. HOLLAND JENSEN MASTER PLAN Park and Recreation Director Schmidt indicated that a public meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, April 4 at the Eagan City Hall to review the master plan which is currently being prepared for the 2,000 acre Holland Jensen Park.
