Authorization for the hiring of Tom Schuster as tree inspector _for the 1979.season. __ .. -----_ . •-.-- --�: b. Approval of a season change order to construct a 10 foot bituminous trail on the south side of Westcott Road. III. Windcrest Addition A. City staff has recommended that park dedication for this plat consist of a greenway connection from the Civic Center Site heading toward Patrick Eagan Park. This would provide a trail link suitable for recreational use and would allow scheduling,for example, of cross country ski classes in a city building with easy access to nearby park facilities. It would also provide a loop connection via the trail through Hilltop Estates into Patrick Eagan Park. The Civic Center site contains little land suitable for outdoor recreational use and this greenway would provide a connection to nearby park facilities. An additional link would need to be obtained when the McCarthy property develops. See drawing In planning report. Neighborhood park needs for this section will probably be satisfied in part by purchase of 5 acres north of Patrick Eagan Park rather than west of the park as previously proposed as McCarthys are resistant to selling their frontage along Deerwood Drive. See map exhibit in attached neighborhood study. B. Windtree Addition This development is south of park land previously committed to be dedicated in the Gopher Eagan plat. City staff has suggested additional park dedication within this plat contiguous to the Gopher Eagan Park. This neighborhood park will be larger than normal , but much of the land previously committed is steep slopes and ponds. The neighborhood study shows a need for a small park, however there is a possibility that more industrial land will be rezoned for residential use within this section.. This recommendation will be made as part of the comp plan process. This neighborhood is also isolated from the rest of the city park system. C. Thomas Lake Heights Staff will review a proposal for platting the area west of Thomas Lake School. The'Heine Pond area is not included at this time. A trailway connection is proposed to the trailway Heine First Addition as staff has previously recommended - A sketch plan will be requested of the outlot on the west edge of = the plat which is the .area affected by the proposed all purpose trail link from the High Line Trail to Holland'Jensen.Park. D. Canterbury Forest is located north of park land greenway dedicated under ------the Lexington South PUD on the northern border of the plat for Ches Mar'I. The committee may wish to direct staff to pursue provision of a trailway connection leading south, possibly between Lots 13 b 14, Block 2, to provide - —foi internal access from the neighborhood to this greenway with surfacing to be done by the developer with road construction. E. Ches Mar II b III The committee may wish to direct staff to pursue a trailway leading north from this plat to the same greenway referred to in the preceeding item. IV. A. Park Department 1. Rahn Thomas Park Trail - According to the State Planning Agency only trails which provide a specific recreational function will be considered as amendments to the cities Lawon/State grant for 90% funding for trail construction. Therefore it appears that a trail to the Thomas Lake Prairie Area would meet these guidelines while trail connections through Evergreen Park will not. Park Director Schmidt.is requesting permission from the City Council to pursue an amendment and change order to accomplish this construction. See attached memo to City Council. A progress report will be made to the committee at the meeting. The Park Committee may wish to endose this proposal. 2. FY 1980 Grant Proposals - Meetings on grant criteria have made it apparant that a giant for additional land for the Section 9 Community Park would be most likely to rank highly for consideration for funding. Part Committee input on grant proposals is also an important criteria. Therefore the committee should consider making an official recommendation regarding this and other potential, grant proposals. 3. A neighborhood study.for Section 14 is enclosed for review and comment. V. Special Meetings A. The Trails Subcommittee may wish to set a date for their next meeting. B. The topic of the next comprehensive plan meeting, to be held June 12, 1979 at 7:00 P.M. at the City Hall will be the Sketch Plan which will show anticipated densities and potential park sites and will point out those neighborhoods where smaller than standard parks may be desired. FOR YOUR INFORMATION I. Summer Programs begin June 18. Four sessions of Tiny Tots filled by noon of the second day. First sessions of tennis and -- -- — golf lessons are filling rapidly. However few registrations have been received for the new Theatre Experience at Pilot Knob School. ----- Flyers -were sent home with the students Friday but this class will. be cancelled unless registrations increase quickly.

RUNKIE, CITY PLANNER 1 Applications Submitted 1. An application has been submitted requesting to rezone 80 acres fran A, Agricultural to.15.7 acres to R-1, Residential Single District; 3.9 acres to R-2, Resdiential Double District; and, 32.0 acres to R-3, Residential Townhouse District. . 2. The second application has been submitted for a preliminary plat (Windcrest Addition) which would consist of 77 acres and contain236 dwelling units. Ccmr encs 1. The proposed plat would consist of 77 acres and contain 236 dwelling units. The Windcrest Addition plan would have a density of 3 units per acres. The average single family density is between 2 and 2.4 units per acre. .2. Presently the parcel is zoned agricultural and the Land Use Guide indicates that this area should develop at an R-2 density (mixed residential 3-6 units/acre). 3. Rhe plat indicates that 3 different types of housing units are used. This would be 28 single family units; 4 duplexes (8 units); and, 50 townhouses; 200 dwelling units. 4... The plat appears to be well designed and provides continuity.to the surrounding parcels. A) Denmark Avenue provides the north/south residential collector which connects Wescott Road with Deerwood Drive. Denmark Avenue also follows the major street plan for this area. B) Windcrest lard is stubbed to the west property line, to tie in to a future street in the 40 acres the City owns. C) Crestview Lane will also be stubbed to the east property line to provide access to the east. 5. The City Staff has suggested that there be a connection frau the cmTmmity center and Patrick Fagan Park: The developer is proposing to dedicate 14 acres to allow this connection. This has not been reviewed by the Park Conmittee. If the Park Committee rejects this park concept, the revised plan will return to the Planning Commission for review. 0 Niakwa Inc. May 16, 1979 Page 2 0 If approved, the plat should be subject to the following conditions; 1. The intersection of Denmark Avenue and Wescott Road should have 900 intersection istead of the proposed angle. - k; 2. Two tot lots should be provided within the townhouse development to serve the needs of the preschoolers. The developer should also contribute costs to the Homeowners Association so the tot lots can be developed. This can be worked out as part of the development agreement. 3. The bylaws of the Hcnewoners Association should be submitted with the development agreement. 4. Deerwood Drive should have a 40 foot half right-of-way instead of the proposed 33 foot. 5. Lots 18, 19 and 20 should be extended to the west property line to include unusable parkland into lots. if -_=- .. -- =--- -- r- -. MEMO'ZO:—ADVISORY PL?1ANING "CMQiSSION AND - DALE C. KMKIE, CITY PLANNER FROM: _THOMAS A. COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS DATE: MAY 17, 1979 -- - SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT — WINDCREST ADDITION (NIAMA, INC.) I The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department has the following comments to make in regards to the proposed plat referenced above: I. UTILITIES Water service will be provided to this plat by looping the existing 12 inch trunk water main on Deerwood Road with the presently under -contract 12 inch water main along Wescott Road. The northerly one-third of this proposed plat.will be serviced with sanitary sewer main frau Wescott Road. The southerly two-thirds will have to be serviced through the trunk sanitary sewer provided on Deerwood Drive remuring the construction of a lift station in this plat because of the topographic elevation differential. This lift station installation will be part of a trunk sanitary sewer main construction that will ultimately service approximately 900 - 1000 acres adjacent to and to the east of this property. Subsequently, a petition will have to be submitted for this extension as the assessments will be spread over the entire sewer trunk district area. II. STREETS Access to this plat will be provided by the presently under construction Wescott Road a major collector, Dermiark Avenue a minor collector, and Deerwood Drive a minor collector. Because Deerwood Drive is presently an unimproved gravel roadway, it will have to be improved from Pilot Knob Road to the east property line of Wirdcrest Addition. Because Wescott Road is a major collector, no direct access should be allowed onto it from private lots. III. EASEMENTS AND RIGHTS-OF-WAY Because of the classification of Wescott Road and Denmark Avenue, the following right-of-way will be required rather than the normal 60 foot residential requirement: 1: Wescott Road — 100 foot right -of -ray 2. Denmark Avenue — 80 foot right-of-way 3. Deerwood Drive — 80 foot right-of-way In addition to the typical front and side yard easements, additional drainage and utility easements will be required to incorporate the high water elevation of 818circumventing the pond located in the southwesterly corner of this proposed plat. Additional easements will also be required to incorporate the looping of water mains and extensions of storm sewer and sanitary sewer down common lot lines. - windcrest Addition - --- -May 17, 1979 Page 2 IV. GRADIM AND DRAINAGE Surface runoff generated from this plat will be directed into a storm _- -_- -- sewer system provided.alcng Wescott Fuad which will service the northerly 258 of this plat. The remaining 75%'of the runoff will be directed to the on-site storm water detention basin that is part of our master storm sewer plan located in the southwest corner of this plat. Because of the rolling topography of this 80 acres, a certain amount of excavation will be required.to provide for the proper street grades in this plat. No problem is anticipated with this work. V. ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION In the approval of this preliminary plat, the following items should be considered as conditions of approval: 1. Property owner must submit a petition for the improvement of Deezwood Drive to�the east property line of this plat. 2. Sufficient right -of -tray shall be dedicated to provide for the require 100 footlright-of-way of Wescott Road; 80 foot right-of-way for Denmark Avenue;, and, an 80 foot right-of-way for Deerwood Drive. 3. Five foot drainage and utility easement should be dedicated adjacent to all common property lines, a 10 foot drainage and utility easement adjacent to all street right-of-way, additional drainage and utility easements adjacent to .storm water ponding areas and along utility'extensions as approved by the City Engineer. 4. Petition 'for the public improvement of the installation of a sanitary sewer lift station and trunk water main extension through this plat must be submitted. I will be available at the Planning C nu&ssion meeting of May 22 to answer any additional questions that may arise. Respectfully submitted, xa�. Zhomas A. Colbert, P.E.

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 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 "All 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 east, 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. 336.0 townhouse (Church.& Neighbor- hood Business) 9.7 0. - 0..

According to Park'Area Standards the,need for active neighborhood facilities are as follows: Tennis Courts According to the holding capacity 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 neighborhood.' 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. Neighborhood 22 _- Page 4 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 j active needs of this_area. ------ if —If this park is not feasible to provide for the active I 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 i alternative location of the proposed active park. Neighborhood 22 Tennis -Softball Play Park Location Size Courts Fields Areas Patrick Eagan Northwest of Approx. 2 1 1 Co.

SUMMARY � Although there is approximately 96 acres of passive park area in Neighborhood_ 22, some active park land 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 met 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.

RUNK E, CITY PLANNER Applications Submitted 1. The first application.is a request to rezone 101 acres from I-1, Light Industrial District to R-1, Residential Single District approximately 75 acres and approximately 14 acres to R-4, Residential Multiple District. 2. The second application is for preliminary plat (Windtree Addition) which. consists of 101 acres and would contain 137 single family lots and one outlot. Comments 1. Presently, the zoning on the proposed parcel is I-1, Limited Industrial District. However, when looking at the topography and terrain of this parcel it would be very difficult to develop this parcel as an industrial site. 2. Due to the topography, the proposed site is very difficult to design. The developer has donne a very good jab in laying out the development with the existing topography and should minimize the amount of excavation which would be required on the site. In"reviewing_the_Proposed-developamt, Ntlot A is adjacent to a proposedpark in the. _Gopher Eagan-P.Q.__Instead of rezoning Outlot Ate, Resident al_Multiple, Staff _reoam�ends_that Glrtlot_A oo which,_sists of 14 acres, be dedicated_to-the-City for a future_park. This proposal has not been reviewed -by —the -'Park Cartnittee at this time and if the Park Committee does not accept Outlot A as park dedication, the developer will review the revised preliminary plat with the Advisory Planning CmrLittee. 3. There would need to be two variances on the proposed plat on cul-de-sacs which exceed the 500 foot maximum length requirement. These are Elrene Court, which is approximately 600 feet in length and Vuecrest Court, which is approximately 680 feet in length. If approved the plat should be subject to the following conditions: 1. All access should be off of internal streets instead of the collectors which are Wescott Road and Elrene Road. 2. If Outlot A is not accepted for park land,.Outlot A should be replatted and detailed plans should be submitted for the Planning Camtission to review. •_ _____...______ rt.: .. __ J •B TWO ' — ....1`'f -BL ONE �.

CO BERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS DATE: MAY 17, 1979' SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT — WTrU= ADDITION (NIAKWA, INC.) Engineering Division of the Public Works Department has the following ccm ents to offer in relation to the above referenced proposed plat: I. UTILITIES Sanitary sewer service will.be provided by the trunk main _located along Elrene Road. This is of sufficient size and depth to service the entire' plat with provision that approximately 10 to 12 feet of fill will be required in portions of Block 3 arra Block 4, adjacent.to Windtree Drive to provide gravity sewer service for those lots. Water main service will be provided by the 12 inch water main along Elrene Road arca the 16 inch main on Wescott Road. The proposed extension of the existing sewer main on Elrene Road to Vuecrest Lane will have to be provided along the east boulevard of Elrene Road to eliminate disruption of the existing improved road. II. STREETS Access to this 'proposed plat is being provided by the existing improved sections of Elrene Road and Wescott Road. 'These existing streets are of sufficient design standards to handle the anticipated traffic from this plat. The proposed Vuecrest Court cul-de-sac is 670 feet long; the maximum allowed by, ordinance is 500 feet. This fact, together with the proposed layout showing both'Ridgewood and Windtree having access onto Wescott Road it would be advisable to continue this Vuecrest Court toward the east to its connection with Windtree Drive.ard eliminate the connection of Ridgewood Drive onto Wescott Road. Preliminary indications are that the number of lots would remain approximately equal with this suggested revision. This would eliminate the need for a variance on the excess length of the cul -de - a sand els %was thIlgtoa ance&s oLlttdgewood Drive onto Wescott Road, which is III. EASEMMTS AND RIGHTS-OF-WAY �7f Sufficient riot -of -way has already been dedicated for Elrene Road and Wescott Road. Typical drainage and utility easements will be required to be 5 foot in width adjacent to all side and rear property lines and 10 foot adjacent to all street right-of-ways with the exception that additional drainage and utility easements will be required adjacent to proposed ponding area. She limits of these will be approved by the City prior to the final plat application. Windtree Addition May 17, 1979 Page 2 IV. GRADING AND DRAINAGE Runoff from this proposed plat will be handled by an internal storm sewer system which will directed into proposed storm water ponding area in the southeast corner of Outlot A. Sore additional minor runoff will be directed into the existing storm sewer system presently located within Elrene Road at the intersection of Windtree Drive and Elrene Road. Because of the existing topography, there will be substantial amounts of grading toprovide the site with sanitary sewer service as mentioned previously and also to provide the proper street grade in this plat. V. CaMMENPS FOR CONSIDERATION 1. The plat should show a dedication of a 40 foot half right-of-way for Elrene Road and a 50.foot half right-of-way for Wescott Road. 2. A 5 foot drainage and utility easement should be dedicated adjacent to all property lines and a 10 foot drainage and utility easement dedicated adjacent to all street right-of-way. 3. Additional drainage and utility easements should be dedicated to the approval of the City Engineer incorporating the proposed high water elevation of any drainage pond area within this plat. 4. The proposed plat be revised to show the extension of Vuecrest Court to, Windtree Drive with the elimination of the Ridgewood Drive access onto Wescott Road.

The total project cost estimate was $80,000 with 908'State and lawcon funding. Approximately $14,000 is still available which can be used for additional trail construction if the proposed addition meets state guidelines. Such a trail must serve a specific recreational function rather than simply providing a link to or through other facilities. The State Planning Agency would consider_a trail into the native prairie area in Thomas Lake Park as meeting these criteria. Members of the Eagan Garden Club who have partici- pated in wildflower planting projects in this area have requested an access trail which would open the area to'public viewing and to nature study classes from nearby Thomas Lake School and would also serve as a hiking, biking trail. Construction of this trail could be accomplished by change order to .the current construction contract for the High Line Trail. Trailways through Evergreen Park leading to the school would not meet the grant criteria. Using these funds to construct a link in the Meadowlands area would be unwise at this time because of potential utility crossings which -are presently undetermined and grant funds have already been allocated for future construction of that portion of the High Line Trail. ACTION REQUESTED: Council approval to request to grant contracts i to add spur trail in Thomas Lake Park. Council authorization to negotiate change order to Project 79-4 for this construction.

Martin moved and Gits seconded a motion to recommend approval of park dedication for Windtree as presented with the exception that the two parcels of land which have no public access not be included but be platted with the lots, that the South access be redrawn as shown on the concept plan and further subject to staff verifying that the water levels shown for the ponds are accurate. All members voted in favor and representatives of Niakwa expressed agreement with the recommended changes. A copy of the concept plan is attached. The committee considered the following factors when making this re- commendation: 1. The previously approved park dedication in the Gopher - Eagan PUD will not provide adequate space for instal- lation of neighborhood park facilities due to the steep slopes and ponds contained on the site. 2. Land within Section 13 currently zoned Industrial is likely to be down zoned for residential use. 3. Residents of this neighborhood are isolated from other city parks by distance and barriers such as Highway 49. ! , . i • r� a'P'L�• .�. .• �.I; .'. -..'�/; Idr`i�i�r Lu•o•t, `1 LI- 'j\\166•.6.

RLZ E, CITY PLANNER Application Submitted TI An application has been sutmitted for preliminary plat, Thomas. lake Heights, which consists of approximately 100 acnes and contains 115 single family lots and two (2) large outlots. Comrents 1. The Thomas Lake Heights plat is the first residential development to be developed within the Blackhawk Park Planned Development. From the origin of this planned development there have been several changes. First, a 15 acre parcel was sold for an el®rentary school. Second, the alignment of Thomas Lake Road has shifted to the north to provide better road access to County Road 30. Third, there was a zoning trade which transpired between the City of Eagan and Dunn & Curry. The trade which was made allowed the comnercial property on County Road 30 and Thomas Lake Road to trove to the northwest quadrant of County Road 30 and Pilot Mob Road. The cmnarcial land at County Road 30 and Thomas Lake Road was replaced with an R-3 land use, mixed residential, 6-12 units/acre. -� 2. Because of the shift of Thomas Lake Road the City is now in the process of re-evaluating the park land on the west side of Heine Lake. Because the park lard is being platted as an outlot at this time and development will not occur on this outlot, the proposed plat will not hinder the City's decision to accept or reject the proposed park land. 3. The zoning on the portion of the plat which is being developed is designated as R-1 and R-4 land uses. The R-1 is single family with a density of 0-3 units/acre; the R-4 is multiple with a density of 12 units +/acre. The developer is proposing to develop this portion of the plat with an R-1 density, single family lots which would yield approximately 2 units/acre. 4. Outlot A, which is not being developed at this time however, in the future the developer is proposing to construct garden apartments at an R-3 density, 6-12 units/acre. 5. Outlot C, another outlot not being developed at this time will have a density of R-2, mixed residential -3-6 units/acre. 0 Thames lake Heights June 20, 1979 Page 2 0 6. The entire plat consists of 100 acres. Of this 100 acre, 34.3 will be platted as outlots and only 65 acres would develop into single family dwellings. 7. There are a substantial number of lots which do not meet the normal width requirement for a single family lot. However, all lot areas are 12,000 square feet or greater in size. The Beacon Hills Planned Development was the only other plat that the City has deviated from the 85 foot minimum width for a single family residential lot. 8. Thomas lake Road is a collector street. The plat has been designed to have all lots obtain access from internal or residential streets. -� 9. The Park Cmxmnittee has informally reviewed the Thomas Lake Heights plat. Their main concern was to get a trail connection between Balsam Lane and the cul-de-sac within Heine Addition. The developer is proposing to dedicate the requested trailway. The Eagan Park Committee will take formal action on Thomas Lake Heights plat at their July meeting. 10. There are two (2) cul-de-sacs, Ponderosa Court and Greermccd Point, which exceed the 500 foot maximum requirement. If approved, the variances for these cul -desacs would be granted. If approved, the plat should be subject to the following conditions: 1. All lots which abut Thomas Lake Load will have restricted access. 2. The density and type of structure should be indicated for each outlot so the future property owners will know in advance what the future development plans are for Outlots A and C. 3. Outlot D should be designated as a trailway on the final plat. DCR: Up 0 MEMO TO: ADVISORY PIAMING COnaSSION AND DAIS C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER FROM: THOW A. COLBERT, DIRDC M OF PUBLIC WORKS DATE: JUNE 18, 1979 0 SUB7DM PF69, MLlM PIAT — THCMAS LAKE HEIGHTS ADDITION (DUNN & aJRRY REAL ESTATE) The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department has the following comments to make in the consideration of the above referenced proposed preliminary plat: Sanitary sewer and water main ofsufficient size and depth has been provided within Thomas lake Road to service this proposed plat. Internal sanitary sewer and water main distribution systems will be designed and/or approved by the City prior to their installation. Access to this plat will be provided by the presently under construction Thomas Lake Road collector street. This plat shows seven (7) cul-de-sacs of which three (3) require the approval of a variance to the 500 foot length accordisng to our present subdivision ordinance. The Engineering Division has reviewed the topography in conjunction with the proposed street layout and find that these excessive length cul-de-sacs are un- avoidable due to elevation differentials. Greenwood Lane is recommended to be redesigned to eliminate the small "bubble" cul-de-sac on the northeast corner. It is also felt that with a slight redesign and minor grading that the Balsam Point cul-de-sac could be eliminated by continuing it to the south and connecting with Greemicod lane. Staff would like to request direction from the Planning Commission and the Council in the extent of scrutinizing that should be done in relationship to the elimination of cul-de-sacs in order to alleviate future maintenance problems for the general tax paying public. FASEM NM AND R.O.W. All easements and rights-of-way as indicating on the preliminary plan submitted dated May 30, 1979 is acceptable according to current City requirements. Drainage and utility easements adjacent to property lines as indicated on same preliminary plat is also in accordance with City standards. Appropriate drainage and utility easements incorporating drainage basins mist be reviewed and approved by Staff prior to final plat approval. 0 0 Thomas Lake Heights Addition June 18, 1979 Page 2 FRT; T! lush Drainage for this plat is proposed to be handled by a series of on-site drainage basins which will interconnect with the presently under construction Thomas Lake to Blackhawk Lake trunk storm sewer system. A series of internal storm sewer laterals and catch basins will be required during the utility design phase. Prior to final plat approval it is recommended that a grading and drainage plan showing individual lot drainage patterns and proposed house elevations be submitted and approved by the City. The following omvmnts should be considered in the final approval of the above referenced plat: 1. Drainage and utility easements be provided as required by the City Engineer prior to final plat approval. 2. A grading and drainage plan be approved by the City Engineer prior to final plat approval. 3. An 8 foot trail be constructed within Outlot B adjacent to Heine First Addition as a part of the street inprov®rent project.

As a part of that evaluation I an requesting your resroase to the suggestion of eliminating the area Ilest of i!6 enc Pond as future park dedication in exchange for provision for a 60 foot interior trail for non -motorized use along an align.ment similar to what is shown in red on the attached drawing or a satisfactory substitute. The purpose of this trail link would be to provide a connection from the Eagan Park High Line Trail to Holland Jensen Park for use by horses and cross-country skiers. City staff has met with Orrin Thompson and provision will be made for this trail connection through the present Alrnquist property along the alignment of the William Bros. pipeline. , Therefore the City is most anxious to workout a satisfactory alignment for the northern link through your property. Thank you for your attention to this ratter. Sincerely yours, Barb Schmidt Eagan Park Director 0 0 MEMO TO: PARK COMMITTEE FROM: RECREATION PROGRAMMER DATE: JULY 11, 1979 RF.: RECREATION REPORT - SUMMER PROGRAMS - FALL PROGRAM IDEAS Summer recreation programs are in full swing. Registrations for Summer In the Park are up from a year apo. Daily attendance has been excellent. We are now beginning to experience the annual hot weather/vacation drop in numbers of children. The first field trip to Apple Rollerway was attended by 219 children. Tiny Tots classes were filled by noon on the second day of registration. The leaders are doing excellent work in providing a variety of activities for the 3, 4 and 5 year olds. Registrations for Tumbling and Dance are down at Northview School. Perhaps the gasoline situation is a factor as all'of the children must arrive by car. Participation at Rahn School is more stable. The recital is scheduled for Thursday evening, August 2 at 7:00 P.M. at Pilot Knob School. Attendance at the Teen Center is similar to last year. The.foosball table is in constant use. The leaders are interacting with the teenagers very well. The following Fall programs are now being considered: Volleyball - to begin the week of October 1. Gymnasiums will be reserved at Northview, Pilot Knob and Thomas Lake Elementary schools. Sessions will be designated for couples, women and men. This will be open volley- ball, not league play. Tiny Tots - Because the summer program is so well received, a fall eight week session, ending just before Thanksgiving is being considered. We must 'find a site and staff. Halloween Party on Saturday, October 27, 1979. 2 - 4 PM for grades K - 4. We are considering using Rahn School rather than the park building because of the large numbers of children. Should we have a rainy day, we'd he paralyzed in the park building. Additional CPR sessions are under consideration. The three school districts have offered this also and we may have reached the saturation point. Gun Safety Training. The police department handles this, however we shall approach them to offer a class during the month of September. Suggestions from the Park Committee would be appreciated concerning pro- gram needs you see in the community. •. FROM: DALE C. rUNK .E, CITY PLANNER DATE: JULY 11, 1979 Since the last Park Committee Meeting, Staff has been requested to re-evaluate the proposed park dedication for the Windcrest Development. The Windcrest plat consists of 77 acres of which 12.4 acres would be dedicated as park. Of the 12.4 acre dedication, 10.9 acres would receive park credit. Therefore, the park dedication for the Windcrest plat is in excess of the required park dedication. In evaluating the park dedication in the Windcrest plat, it can be broken 'down .into two (2) different segments. The first segment being the portion south of the City property and wrest of Denmark Avenue. The reasoning for this large area for a trailway is to insure that the City obtains the amenity of the ponding area. The second reason for this large area is that it can also tie Skovdale 2nd and the parcel directly south of Skovdale 2nd into this trail system. The last factor is in the civic center site, there is a passive area set up in the south- east corner of the concept plan. To keep the affect of the openness of this passive area and due to the topography within this area, there are really no physical barriers to set the park boundary within this proposed plat. The parcel on the east side of Denmark Avenue allows the flexibility for the proposed trail to go either north or south to tie into Patrick Eagan Park. If you have any questions regarding this park dedication, I will be available at the Park Committee meeting for further questions. Sincerely, Dale C.

Approval of a season change order to construct a 10 foot bituminous trail on the south side of Westcott Road. III. Windcrest Addition A. City staff has recommended that park dedication for this plat consist of a greenway connection from the Civic Center Site heading toward Patrick Eagan Park. This would provide a trail link suitable for recreational use and would allow scheduling,for example, of cross country ski classes in a city building with easy access to nearby park facilities. It would also provide a loop connection via the trail through Hilltop Estates into Patrick Eagan Park. The Civic Center site contains little land suitable for outdoor recreational use and this greenway would provide a connection to nearby park facilities. An additional link would need to be obtained when the McCarthy property develops. See drawing In planning report. Neighborhood park needs for this section will probably be satisfied in part by purchase of 5 acres north of Patrick Eagan Park rather than west of the park as previously proposed as McCarthys are resistant to selling their frontage along Deerwood Drive. See map exhibit in attached neighborhood study. B. Windtree Addition This development is south of park land previously committed to be dedicated in the Gopher Eagan plat. City staff has suggested additional park dedication within this plat contiguous to the Gopher Eagan Park. This neighborhood park will be larger than normal , but much of the land previously committed is steep slopes and ponds. The neighborhood study shows a need for a small park, however there is a possibility that more industrial land will be rezoned for residential use within this section.. This recommendation will be made as part of the comp plan process. This neighborhood is also isolated from the rest of the city park system. C. Thomas Lake Heights Staff will review a proposal for platting the area west of Thomas Lake School. The'Heine Pond area is not included at this time. A trailway connection is proposed to the trailway Heine First Addition as staff has previously recommended - A sketch plan will be requested of the outlot on the west edge of = the plat which is the .area affected by the proposed all purpose trail link from the High Line Trail to Holland'Jensen.Park. D. Canterbury Forest is located north of park land greenway dedicated under ------the Lexington South PUD on the northern border of the plat for Ches Mar'I. The committee may wish to direct staff to pursue provision of a trailway connection leading south, possibly between Lots 13 b 14, Block 2, to provide - —foi internal access from the neighborhood to this greenway with surfacing to be done by the developer with road construction. E. Ches Mar II b III The committee may wish to direct staff to pursue a trailway leading north from this plat to the same greenway referred to in the preceeding item. IV. A. Park Department 1. Rahn Thomas Park Trail - According to the State Planning Agency only trails which provide a specific recreational function will be considered as amendments to the cities Lawon/State grant for 90% funding for trail construction. Therefore it appears that a trail to the Thomas Lake Prairie Area would meet these guidelines while trail connections through Evergreen Park will not. Park Director Schmidt.is requesting permission from the City Council to pursue an amendment and change order to accomplish this construction. See attached memo to City Council. A progress report will be made to the committee at the meeting. The Park Committee may wish to endose this proposal. 2. FY 1980 Grant Proposals - Meetings on grant criteria have made it apparant that a giant for additional land for the Section 9 Community Park would be most likely to rank highly for consideration for funding. Part Committee input on grant proposals is also an important criteria. Therefore the committee should consider making an official recommendation regarding this and other potential, grant proposals. 3. A neighborhood study.for Section 14 is enclosed for review and comment. V. Special Meetings A. The Trails Subcommittee may wish to set a date for their next meeting. B. The topic of the next comprehensive plan meeting, to be held June 12, 1979 at 7:00 P.M. at the City Hall will be the Sketch Plan which will show anticipated densities and potential park sites and will point out those neighborhoods where smaller than standard parks may be desired. FOR YOUR INFORMATION I. Summer Programs begin June 18. Four sessions of Tiny Tots filled by noon of the second day. First sessions of tennis and -- -- — golf lessons are filling rapidly. However few registrations have been received for the new Theatre Experience at Pilot Knob School. ----- Flyers -were sent home with the students Friday but this class will. be cancelled unless registrations increase quickly.

RUNKIE, CITY PLANNER 1 Applications Submitted 1. An application has been submitted requesting to rezone 80 acres fran A, Agricultural to.15.7 acres to R-1, Residential Single District; 3.9 acres to R-2, Resdiential Double District; and, 32.0 acres to R-3, Residential Townhouse District. . 2. The second application has been submitted for a preliminary plat (Windcrest Addition) which would consist of 77 acres and contain236 dwelling units. Ccmr encs 1. The proposed plat would consist of 77 acres and contain 236 dwelling units. The Windcrest Addition plan would have a density of 3 units per acres. The average single family density is between 2 and 2.4 units per acre. .2. Presently the parcel is zoned agricultural and the Land Use Guide indicates that this area should develop at an R-2 density (mixed residential 3-6 units/acre). 3. Rhe plat indicates that 3 different types of housing units are used. This would be 28 single family units; 4 duplexes (8 units); and, 50 townhouses; 200 dwelling units. 4... The plat appears to be well designed and provides continuity.to the surrounding parcels. A) Denmark Avenue provides the north/south residential collector which connects Wescott Road with Deerwood Drive. Denmark Avenue also follows the major street plan for this area. B) Windcrest lard is stubbed to the west property line, to tie in to a future street in the 40 acres the City owns. C) Crestview Lane will also be stubbed to the east property line to provide access to the east. 5. The City Staff has suggested that there be a connection frau the cmTmmity center and Patrick Fagan Park: The developer is proposing to dedicate 14 acres to allow this connection. This has not been reviewed by the Park Conmittee. If the Park Committee rejects this park concept, the revised plan will return to the Planning Commission for review. 0 Niakwa Inc. May 16, 1979 Page 2 0 If approved, the plat should be subject to the following conditions; 1. The intersection of Denmark Avenue and Wescott Road should have 900 intersection istead of the proposed angle. - k; 2. Two tot lots should be provided within the townhouse development to serve the needs of the preschoolers. The developer should also contribute costs to the Homeowners Association so the tot lots can be developed. This can be worked out as part of the development agreement. 3. The bylaws of the Hcnewoners Association should be submitted with the development agreement. 4. Deerwood Drive should have a 40 foot half right-of-way instead of the proposed 33 foot. 5. Lots 18, 19 and 20 should be extended to the west property line to include unusable parkland into lots. if -_=- .. -- =--- -- r- -. MEMO'ZO:—ADVISORY PL?1ANING "CMQiSSION AND - DALE C. KMKIE, CITY PLANNER FROM: _THOMAS A. COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS DATE: MAY 17, 1979 -- - SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT — WINDCREST ADDITION (NIAMA, INC.) I The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department has the following comments to make in regards to the proposed plat referenced above: I. UTILITIES Water service will be provided to this plat by looping the existing 12 inch trunk water main on Deerwood Road with the presently under -contract 12 inch water main along Wescott Road. The northerly one-third of this proposed plat.will be serviced with sanitary sewer main frau Wescott Road. The southerly two-thirds will have to be serviced through the trunk sanitary sewer provided on Deerwood Drive remuring the construction of a lift station in this plat because of the topographic elevation differential. This lift station installation will be part of a trunk sanitary sewer main construction that will ultimately service approximately 900 - 1000 acres adjacent to and to the east of this property. Subsequently, a petition will have to be submitted for this extension as the assessments will be spread over the entire sewer trunk district area. II. STREETS Access to this plat will be provided by the presently under construction Wescott Road a major collector, Dermiark Avenue a minor collector, and Deerwood Drive a minor collector. Because Deerwood Drive is presently an unimproved gravel roadway, it will have to be improved from Pilot Knob Road to the east property line of Wirdcrest Addition. Because Wescott Road is a major collector, no direct access should be allowed onto it from private lots. III. EASEMENTS AND RIGHTS-OF-WAY Because of the classification of Wescott Road and Denmark Avenue, the following right-of-way will be required rather than the normal 60 foot residential requirement: 1: Wescott Road — 100 foot right -of -ray 2. Denmark Avenue — 80 foot right-of-way 3. Deerwood Drive — 80 foot right-of-way In addition to the typical front and side yard easements, additional drainage and utility easements will be required to incorporate the high water elevation of 818circumventing the pond located in the southwesterly corner of this proposed plat. Additional easements will also be required to incorporate the looping of water mains and extensions of storm sewer and sanitary sewer down common lot lines. - windcrest Addition - --- -May 17, 1979 Page 2 IV. GRADIM AND DRAINAGE Surface runoff generated from this plat will be directed into a storm _- -_- -- sewer system provided.alcng Wescott Fuad which will service the northerly 258 of this plat. The remaining 75%'of the runoff will be directed to the on-site storm water detention basin that is part of our master storm sewer plan located in the southwest corner of this plat. Because of the rolling topography of this 80 acres, a certain amount of excavation will be required.to provide for the proper street grades in this plat. No problem is anticipated with this work. V. ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION In the approval of this preliminary plat, the following items should be considered as conditions of approval: 1. Property owner must submit a petition for the improvement of Deezwood Drive to�the east property line of this plat. 2. Sufficient right -of -tray shall be dedicated to provide for the require 100 footlright-of-way of Wescott Road; 80 foot right-of-way for Denmark Avenue;, and, an 80 foot right-of-way for Deerwood Drive. 3. Five foot drainage and utility easement should be dedicated adjacent to all common property lines, a 10 foot drainage and utility easement adjacent to all street right-of-way, additional drainage and utility easements adjacent to .storm water ponding areas and along utility'extensions as approved by the City Engineer. 4. Petition 'for the public improvement of the installation of a sanitary sewer lift station and trunk water main extension through this plat must be submitted. I will be available at the Planning C nu&ssion meeting of May 22 to answer any additional questions that may arise. Respectfully submitted, xa�. Zhomas A. Colbert, P.E.

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 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.

(The future alignment of Wescott Road, to the south; County Road Number 30; to the east, 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.

According to Park'Area Standards the,need for active neighborhood facilities are as follows: Tennis Courts According to the holding capacity 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 neighborhood.' 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. Neighborhood 22 _- Page 4 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 j active needs of this_area. ------ if —If this park is not feasible to provide for the active I 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 i alternative location of the proposed active park. Neighborhood 22 Tennis -Softball Play Park Location Size Courts Fields Areas Patrick Eagan Northwest of Approx. 2 1 1 Co.

SUMMARY � Although there is approximately 96 acres of passive park area in Neighborhood_ 22, some active park land 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 met 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.

RUNK E, CITY PLANNER Applications Submitted 1. The first application.is a request to rezone 101 acres from I-1, Light Industrial District to R-1, Residential Single District approximately 75 acres and approximately 14 acres to R-4, Residential Multiple District. 2. The second application is for preliminary plat (Windtree Addition) which. consists of 101 acres and would contain 137 single family lots and one outlot. Comments 1. Presently, the zoning on the proposed parcel is I-1, Limited Industrial District. However, when looking at the topography and terrain of this parcel it would be very difficult to develop this parcel as an industrial site. 2. Due to the topography, the proposed site is very difficult to design. The developer has donne a very good jab in laying out the development with the existing topography and should minimize the amount of excavation which would be required on the site. In"reviewing_the_Proposed-developamt, Ntlot A is adjacent to a proposedpark in the. _Gopher Eagan-P.Q.__Instead of rezoning Outlot Ate, Resident al_Multiple, Staff _reoam�ends_that Glrtlot_A oo which,_sists of 14 acres, be dedicated_to-the-City for a future_park. This proposal has not been reviewed -by —the -'Park Cartnittee at this time and if the Park Committee does not accept Outlot A as park dedication, the developer will review the revised preliminary plat with the Advisory Planning CmrLittee. 3. There would need to be two variances on the proposed plat on cul-de-sacs which exceed the 500 foot maximum length requirement. These are Elrene Court, which is approximately 600 feet in length and Vuecrest Court, which is approximately 680 feet in length. If approved the plat should be subject to the following conditions: 1. All access should be off of internal streets instead of the collectors which are Wescott Road and Elrene Road. 2. If Outlot A is not accepted for park land,.Outlot A should be replatted and detailed plans should be submitted for the Planning Camtission to review. •_ _____...______ rt.: .. __ J •B TWO ' — ....1`'f -BL ONE �.

CO BERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS DATE: MAY 17, 1979' SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT — WTrU= ADDITION (NIAKWA, INC.) Engineering Division of the Public Works Department has the following ccm ents to offer in relation to the above referenced proposed plat: I. UTILITIES Sanitary sewer service will.be provided by the trunk main _located along Elrene Road. This is of sufficient size and depth to service the entire' plat with provision that approximately 10 to 12 feet of fill will be required in portions of Block 3 arra Block 4, adjacent.to Windtree Drive to provide gravity sewer service for those lots. Water main service will be provided by the 12 inch water main along Elrene Road arca the 16 inch main on Wescott Road. The proposed extension of the existing sewer main on Elrene Road to Vuecrest Lane will have to be provided along the east boulevard of Elrene Road to eliminate disruption of the existing improved road. II. STREETS Access to this 'proposed plat is being provided by the existing improved sections of Elrene Road and Wescott Road. 'These existing streets are of sufficient design standards to handle the anticipated traffic from this plat. The proposed Vuecrest Court cul-de-sac is 670 feet long; the maximum allowed by, ordinance is 500 feet. This fact, together with the proposed layout showing both'Ridgewood and Windtree having access onto Wescott Road it would be advisable to continue this Vuecrest Court toward the east to its connection with Windtree Drive.ard eliminate the connection of Ridgewood Drive onto Wescott Road. Preliminary indications are that the number of lots would remain approximately equal with this suggested revision. This would eliminate the need for a variance on the excess length of the cul -de - a sand els %was thIlgtoa ance&s oLlttdgewood Drive onto Wescott Road, which is III. EASEMMTS AND RIGHTS-OF-WAY �7f Sufficient riot -of -way has already been dedicated for Elrene Road and Wescott Road. Typical drainage and utility easements will be required to be 5 foot in width adjacent to all side and rear property lines and 10 foot adjacent to all street right-of-ways with the exception that additional drainage and utility easements will be required adjacent to proposed ponding area. She limits of these will be approved by the City prior to the final plat application. Windtree Addition May 17, 1979 Page 2 IV. GRADING AND DRAINAGE Runoff from this proposed plat will be handled by an internal storm sewer system which will directed into proposed storm water ponding area in the southeast corner of Outlot A. Sore additional minor runoff will be directed into the existing storm sewer system presently located within Elrene Road at the intersection of Windtree Drive and Elrene Road. Because of the existing topography, there will be substantial amounts of grading toprovide the site with sanitary sewer service as mentioned previously and also to provide the proper street grade in this plat. V. CaMMENPS FOR CONSIDERATION 1. The plat should show a dedication of a 40 foot half right-of-way for Elrene Road and a 50.foot half right-of-way for Wescott Road. 2. A 5 foot drainage and utility easement should be dedicated adjacent to all property lines and a 10 foot drainage and utility easement dedicated adjacent to all street right-of-way. 3. Additional drainage and utility easements should be dedicated to the approval of the City Engineer incorporating the proposed high water elevation of any drainage pond area within this plat. 4. The proposed plat be revised to show the extension of Vuecrest Court to, Windtree Drive with the elimination of the Ridgewood Drive access onto Wescott Road. I will be available for further comments at the Planning Commission meeting of May 22, 1979. %Respectfully submitted, V Gtr-,--•� � Thomas. A. Colbert, P.E.

The total project cost estimate was $80,000 with 908'State and lawcon funding. Approximately $14,000 is still available which can be used for additional trail construction if the proposed addition meets state guidelines. Such a trail must serve a specific recreational function rather than simply providing a link to or through other facilities. The State Planning Agency would consider_a trail into the native prairie area in Thomas Lake Park as meeting these criteria. Members of the Eagan Garden Club who have partici- pated in wildflower planting projects in this area have requested an access trail which would open the area to'public viewing and to nature study classes from nearby Thomas Lake School and would also serve as a hiking, biking trail. Construction of this trail could be accomplished by change order to .the current construction contract for the High Line Trail. Trailways through Evergreen Park leading to the school would not meet the grant criteria. Using these funds to construct a link in the Meadowlands area would be unwise at this time because of potential utility crossings which -are presently undetermined and grant funds have already been allocated for future construction of that portion of the High Line Trail. ACTION REQUESTED: Council approval to request to grant contracts i to add spur trail in Thomas Lake Park. Council authorization to negotiate change order to Project 79-4 for this construction.

Martin moved and Gits seconded a motion to recommend approval of park dedication for Windtree as presented with the exception that the two parcels of land which have no public access not be included but be platted with the lots, that the South access be redrawn as shown on the concept plan and further subject to staff verifying that the water levels shown for the ponds are accurate. All members voted in favor and representatives of Niakwa expressed agreement with the recommended changes. A copy of the concept plan is attached. The committee considered the following factors when making this re- commendation: 1. The previously approved park dedication in the Gopher - Eagan PUD will not provide adequate space for instal- lation of neighborhood park facilities due to the steep slopes and ponds contained on the site. 2. Land within Section 13 currently zoned Industrial is likely to be down zoned for residential use. 3. Residents of this neighborhood are isolated from other city parks by distance and barriers such as Highway 49. ! , . i • r� a'P'L�• .�. .• �.I; .'. -..'�/; Idr`i�i�r Lu•o•t, `1 LI- 'j\\166•.6.

RLZ E, CITY PLANNER Application Submitted TI An application has been sutmitted for preliminary plat, Thomas. lake Heights, which consists of approximately 100 acnes and contains 115 single family lots and two (2) large outlots. Comrents 1. The Thomas Lake Heights plat is the first residential development to be developed within the Blackhawk Park Planned Development. From the origin of this planned development there have been several changes. First, a 15 acre parcel was sold for an el®rentary school. Second, the alignment of Thomas Lake Road has shifted to the north to provide better road access to County Road 30. Third, there was a zoning trade which transpired between the City of Eagan and Dunn & Curry. The trade which was made allowed the comnercial property on County Road 30 and Thomas Lake Road to trove to the northwest quadrant of County Road 30 and Pilot Mob Road. The cmnarcial land at County Road 30 and Thomas Lake Road was replaced with an R-3 land use, mixed residential, 6-12 units/acre. -� 2. Because of the shift of Thomas Lake Road the City is now in the process of re-evaluating the park land on the west side of Heine Lake. Because the park lard is being platted as an outlot at this time and development will not occur on this outlot, the proposed plat will not hinder the City's decision to accept or reject the proposed park land. 3. The zoning on the portion of the plat which is being developed is designated as R-1 and R-4 land uses. The R-1 is single family with a density of 0-3 units/acre; the R-4 is multiple with a density of 12 units +/acre. The developer is proposing to develop this portion of the plat with an R-1 density, single family lots which would yield approximately 2 units/acre. 4. Outlot A, which is not being developed at this time however, in the future the developer is proposing to construct garden apartments at an R-3 density, 6-12 units/acre. 5. Outlot C, another outlot not being developed at this time will have a density of R-2, mixed residential -3-6 units/acre. 0 Thames lake Heights June 20, 1979 Page 2 0 6. The entire plat consists of 100 acres. Of this 100 acre, 34.3 will be platted as outlots and only 65 acres would develop into single family dwellings. 7. There are a substantial number of lots which do not meet the normal width requirement for a single family lot. However, all lot areas are 12,000 square feet or greater in size. The Beacon Hills Planned Development was the only other plat that the City has deviated from the 85 foot minimum width for a single family residential lot. 8. Thomas lake Road is a collector street. The plat has been designed to have all lots obtain access from internal or residential streets. -� 9. The Park Cmxmnittee has informally reviewed the Thomas Lake Heights plat. Their main concern was to get a trail connection between Balsam Lane and the cul-de-sac within Heine Addition. The developer is proposing to dedicate the requested trailway. The Eagan Park Committee will take formal action on Thomas Lake Heights plat at their July meeting. 10. There are two (2) cul-de-sacs, Ponderosa Court and Greermccd Point, which exceed the 500 foot maximum requirement. If approved, the variances for these cul -desacs would be granted. If approved, the plat should be subject to the following conditions: 1. All lots which abut Thomas Lake Load will have restricted access. 2. The density and type of structure should be indicated for each outlot so the future property owners will know in advance what the future development plans are for Outlots A and C. 3. Outlot D should be designated as a trailway on the final plat. DCR: Up 0 MEMO TO: ADVISORY PIAMING COnaSSION AND DAIS C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER FROM: THOW A. COLBERT, DIRDC M OF PUBLIC WORKS DATE: JUNE 18, 1979 0 SUB7DM PF69, MLlM PIAT — THCMAS LAKE HEIGHTS ADDITION (DUNN & aJRRY REAL ESTATE) The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department has the following comments to make in the consideration of the above referenced proposed preliminary plat: Sanitary sewer and water main ofsufficient size and depth has been provided within Thomas lake Road to service this proposed plat. Internal sanitary sewer and water main distribution systems will be designed and/or approved by the City prior to their installation. Access to this plat will be provided by the presently under construction Thomas Lake Road collector street. This plat shows seven (7) cul-de-sacs of which three (3) require the approval of a variance to the 500 foot length accordisng to our present subdivision ordinance. The Engineering Division has reviewed the topography in conjunction with the proposed street layout and find that these excessive length cul-de-sacs are un- avoidable due to elevation differentials. Greenwood Lane is recommended to be redesigned to eliminate the small "bubble" cul-de-sac on the northeast corner. It is also felt that with a slight redesign and minor grading that the Balsam Point cul-de-sac could be eliminated by continuing it to the south and connecting with Greemicod lane. Staff would like to request direction from the Planning Commission and the Council in the extent of scrutinizing that should be done in relationship to the elimination of cul-de-sacs in order to alleviate future maintenance problems for the general tax paying public. FASEM NM AND R.O.W. All easements and rights-of-way as indicating on the preliminary plan submitted dated May 30, 1979 is acceptable according to current City requirements. Drainage and utility easements adjacent to property lines as indicated on same preliminary plat is also in accordance with City standards. Appropriate drainage and utility easements incorporating drainage basins mist be reviewed and approved by Staff prior to final plat approval. 0 0 Thomas Lake Heights Addition June 18, 1979 Page 2 FRT; T! lush Drainage for this plat is proposed to be handled by a series of on-site drainage basins which will interconnect with the presently under construction Thomas Lake to Blackhawk Lake trunk storm sewer system. A series of internal storm sewer laterals and catch basins will be required during the utility design phase. Prior to final plat approval it is recommended that a grading and drainage plan showing individual lot drainage patterns and proposed house elevations be submitted and approved by the City. The following omvmnts should be considered in the final approval of the above referenced plat: 1. Drainage and utility easements be provided as required by the City Engineer prior to final plat approval. 2. A grading and drainage plan be approved by the City Engineer prior to final plat approval. 3. An 8 foot trail be constructed within Outlot B adjacent to Heine First Addition as a part of the street inprov®rent project. Mr. Rosen and i will be available to answer and further questions or comrents at the June 26 Planning Commission meeting. Respectfully submitted, LThomas A.

As a part of that evaluation I an requesting your resroase to the suggestion of eliminating the area Ilest of i!6 enc Pond as future park dedication in exchange for provision for a 60 foot interior trail for non -motorized use along an align.ment similar to what is shown in red on the attached drawing or a satisfactory substitute. The purpose of this trail link would be to provide a connection from the Eagan Park High Line Trail to Holland Jensen Park for use by horses and cross-country skiers. City staff has met with Orrin Thompson and provision will be made for this trail connection through the present Alrnquist property along the alignment of the William Bros. pipeline. , Therefore the City is most anxious to workout a satisfactory alignment for the northern link through your property. Thank you for your attention to this ratter. Sincerely yours, Barb Schmidt Eagan Park Director 0 0 MEMO TO: PARK COMMITTEE FROM: RECREATION PROGRAMMER DATE: JULY 11, 1979 RF.: RECREATION REPORT - SUMMER PROGRAMS - FALL PROGRAM IDEAS Summer recreation programs are in full swing. Registrations for Summer In the Park are up from a year apo. Daily attendance has been excellent. We are now beginning to experience the annual hot weather/vacation drop in numbers of children. The first field trip to Apple Rollerway was attended by 219 children. Tiny Tots classes were filled by noon on the second day of registration. The leaders are doing excellent work in providing a variety of activities for the 3, 4 and 5 year olds. Registrations for Tumbling and Dance are down at Northview School. Perhaps the gasoline situation is a factor as all'of the children must arrive by car. Participation at Rahn School is more stable. The recital is scheduled for Thursday evening, August 2 at 7:00 P.M. at Pilot Knob School. Attendance at the Teen Center is similar to last year. The.foosball table is in constant use. The leaders are interacting with the teenagers very well. The following Fall programs are now being considered: Volleyball - to begin the week of October 1. Gymnasiums will be reserved at Northview, Pilot Knob and Thomas Lake Elementary schools. Sessions will be designated for couples, women and men. This will be open volley- ball, not league play. Tiny Tots - Because the summer program is so well received, a fall eight week session, ending just before Thanksgiving is being considered. We must 'find a site and staff. Halloween Party on Saturday, October 27, 1979. 2 - 4 PM for grades K - 4. We are considering using Rahn School rather than the park building because of the large numbers of children. Should we have a rainy day, we'd he paralyzed in the park building. Additional CPR sessions are under consideration. The three school districts have offered this also and we may have reached the saturation point. Gun Safety Training. The police department handles this, however we shall approach them to offer a class during the month of September. Suggestions from the Park Committee would be appreciated concerning pro- gram needs you see in the community. •. FROM: DALE C. rUNK .E, CITY PLANNER DATE: JULY 11, 1979 Since the last Park Committee Meeting, Staff has been requested to re-evaluate the proposed park dedication for the Windcrest Development. The Windcrest plat consists of 77 acres of which 12.4 acres would be dedicated as park. Of the 12.4 acre dedication, 10.9 acres would receive park credit. Therefore, the park dedication for the Windcrest plat is in excess of the required park dedication. In evaluating the park dedication in the Windcrest plat, it can be broken 'down .into two (2) different segments. The first segment being the portion south of the City property and wrest of Denmark Avenue. The reasoning for this large area for a trailway is to insure that the City obtains the amenity of the ponding area. The second reason for this large area is that it can also tie Skovdale 2nd and the parcel directly south of Skovdale 2nd into this trail system. The last factor is in the civic center site, there is a passive area set up in the south- east corner of the concept plan. To keep the affect of the openness of this passive area and due to the topography within this area, there are really no physical barriers to set the park boundary within this proposed plat. The parcel on the east side of Denmark Avenue allows the flexibility for the proposed trail to go either north or south to tie into Patrick Eagan Park. If you have any questions regarding this park dedication, I will be available at the Park Committee meeting for further questions. Sincerely, Dale C. Runkle City Planner DCR: Up
