FOR YOUR IWL ORMATIOV
•
At the 8-28-79 Advisory Planning Commission :Meeting, John
Roszak raised the question of whether 100 would still be
a reasonable percentage to use for park land dedication
if smaller lot sizes are allowed to be developed than our
ordinances currently require -- an interesting question.
Enclosed is a memo from the Eagan Tree inspector regarding
the condition of the Lone Oak Tree.
A complete report on the Summer Program Activities is included
for your review.
The Eagan Valley Rangers Snowmobile Club recently built a
large metal storage box which was needed by the CAA at Rahn
Park. See picture below.

-MEMO TO: PARK DIRECTOR SCHMIDT
_. .FROM: ___ TREE INSPECTOR SCHUSTER
DATE: - AUGUST 14, 1979
SUBJECT: LONE OAK TREE
On August 14, 1979 I contacted Dr. David French, a forest pathologist
at the University of Minnesota, concerning the care of the Lone Oak
Tree. He said he has looked at it several times and feels its poor
appearance may be caused by several factors.
Dr. French feels that this tree, along with thousands of other oak trees
in the Twin Cities, is showing.the effects of the drought we experienced
in 1976. Another major problem with the health of this tree is that it
(the tree) is subject to much salt damage. Due to its location, the tree
not only gets salt run-off from the roads in winter, but also is sprayed
with salt each time a vehicle goes by on slushy days in the spring.
Dr. French suggested several things we could try to enhance the 'health
and appearance of the tree. His first suggestion was that we fertilize
the tree in the spring of next year. The fertilizer should be a balanced
10-10-10 fertilizer and should be applied into the soil at a depth of 18
inches. The rate of application should be 2 pounds per inch of tree
diameter at ground level'. "This type of application will not only fertilize
the tree but will also aerate the soil.
Dr. French also suggested flushing the tree in the spring to wash off any
salt that may remain from the previous winter. Since Highways 49 and 55
as well as Lone Oak Road are salted so much, a large amount of salt builds
up in the soil near this tree and on its branches. Washing off the tree
and flushing the soil would help get rid of much of this salt.
When asked about pruning, Dr. French said it would not improve the health
of the tree but would improve the appearance of it. The pruning should
be done in the fall or winter but definitely not in the spring when open
wounds on oak trees attract insects carrying Oak Wilt fungus.
Dr. French said this tree should be relatively.safe from Oak Wilt because
of its isolated location. If we felt it necessary Dr. French said we
could send a branch sample from the tree to the University for testing for
Oak Wilt. But, neither Dr. French or myself feel that Oak {lilt is causing
any problem with the Lone Oak Tree.
I will continue to observe the tree and keep you informed of its condition.

RE:
TINY TOTS
SEPTEMBER 6, 1979
SUMMER PROGRAMS
0
Tiny Tot sessions were offered at Northview School and at
the Rahn Park Building. Eighty children ages 3, 4 and 5;
the maximum number we could register; took part in the pro-
gram. All sessions were filled by noon of the second day
of registration. Unlike a year ago, children came from
Eagan only. The majority of children in the Rahn program
life in Cedar Grove; Wilderness Run, Timbershore and Evergreen
Park were, the residence areas of the majority of the child-
ren in the Northview sessions.
Income from the $3.50 registration fee was $279.00
Materials purchased specifically for Tiny Tots cost $65.00
Staff salaries, planned for in the Temporary employees
budget were: $947.75
Parent comments were positive, they appreciate this opportunity
for their children's first social activity. Staff from the
Park Office was able to observe growth in the children;
initial shyness turned to confidence and meaningful interaction
with the leaders and the children.
The staff we located to run the program were creative,
sensitive to the needs ofchildren and an excellent group
with whom to work.
TUMBLING AND DANCE
Ninety-eight, children, five of whom were boys, registered for
Tumbling and Dance this year. This represents 30 fewer child-
ren at Northview and two less at Rahn than in 1978. Another
interesting factor is that 80% of the children registered were
new to the program..
Planning for the recital was more difficult than in the past.
Numbers of children with more than the allowed absences made
costume and program preparations difficult. Changes must be
made in securing a commitment from parents if this offering is
to.be continued.
Income from the $3.00 registration fee $294.00
Expenses for records and costumes $172.00
Salaries, planned for in Temporary employees budget, $ 1237.00

The classes were run with one fewer aide than in the past.
Applicants were few in number and several refused our offer
due to the limited hours and travel costs. Thought should
be given to pairing this offering with some morning pro-
gramming to be able to attract and hire quality people.
SUMMER IN THE PARK
Registrations at the playground sites were equal to 1978.
Daily attendance was significantly up at Evergreen, and
Woodhaven, stable at Lexington - Bur Oaks and Rahn, down
at Cedar.
No complaint calls were received by the Park Office re-
garding the absence of Summer In The Park at Pilot Knob.
Sufficient quality applicants were not available to cover
that site at the last minute when the Theatre Experience
had to be cancelled. A limited number of Highview children
attended the playground at Lexington.
Field trips went smoothly, on a whole. Attendance was
excellent.
1. Apple Rollerway - 219 children
2. Diamond T - 188 children
3. Peppermint Tent - 182 children
4. All Park Event - 175 children
Although our permission slip is all inclusive and designed
to be taken care of the first week of activities, the field
trips, with the exception of the Peppermint Tent, were flexible
enough to allow for last minute changes. Notices for bus
times were prepared at the Park Office and sent home with the
children on Monday of the week of a field trip.
Playground staff was excellent this year. They were creative,
energetic, sensitive to the children. The leaders took hold
of a bicycle maintenance and safety program we introduced them
to very efficiently; ran excellent game, craft and special
event activities.
Costs for craft materials $550.00
Salaries, planned for.in Temporary employees budget $4124.00
Total costs were less than in 1978 due to one less site, craft
supplies were more costly due to inflation, salaries were as
anticipated.
Plans for the future include: Acquiring a mobile play wagon
that could visit 4 sites in small neighborhoods in one week eg.,
South Oaks, Highview, Country Home Heights, River Hills, etc.
As new development occurs we want to be ready to provide pro-
gramming in the new parks!

TENNIS
Two hundred and.seventeen people took tennis lessons offered
this spring and summer. Spring:. 8 of 10 classes offered were
held, Summer Session I: 19 of 25 classes held; Summer Session
II: 11 of 25 classes offered were held.
Woodhaven is the most popular lesson site, all classes offered
there were held. Oak Chase.is the weakest site, closely fol-
lowed by Pilot Knob and Evergreen.
Unlike the past, very few people from neighboring communities
took lessons from us.
Fees collected': $1734
Instructor cost: $1511
Net $95
It is difficult to balance the number of offerings to attract
capable instructors: They are told during their interview that
not all classes will fill, we are fortunate to find excellent
people despite this major problem.
GOLF LESSONS
Twenty nine Eagan residents took golf lessons. The lesson
format was the same as last year: 3 sessions on the playfield
at Northview School, 2 at George's Driving Range and one on
the practice green at Parkview.
Our instructor was excellent, four of the six classes offered
were filled. We have had requests for evening lessons. We
will add them if a facility is available.
Income from Class fees: $239.00
Instructor salary $188.50
Balls $22.00
TEEN CENTER
The Rahn Park Building was open from 7:00 -.10:00 Monday through
Thursday from June 18 to August 16. Attendance was 25 - 40 teen-
agers each evening, all live in Cedar Grove.
We need to think in terms of more recreational equipment to pur-
chase, lights outside the building are still in need of repair:
This fall we will open ,the Teen Center from 6:00 - 9:.00 PM on
Tuesdays and Thursdays, beginning September 4. Attendance will
be monitored to"determine the length of this offering.
Staff cost for the summer $840
Covered by Rahn Park Building Activities budget.

The application for rezoning has been changed to reflect the planned development
as recommended by Staff. The application which has been readvertised presently
is requesting rezoning of 77 acres of agricultural land to 16.7 acres of R-1
Planned Development; 4.4 acres of R-2 Planned Development; and, 32.0 acres of
R-3 Planned Development.
Site Plan Review
The preliminary plat, Windcrest, has been modified slightly from the May Advisory
Planning Cc mission meeting. The proposed plat presently includes 16.7 acres of
R-1 with 26 single family dwelling units; 4.4 acres of R-2 with 4 duplexes or
8 dwelling units; 32.0 acres of R-3 with 50 quads or 200 dwelling units; 11.5
acres of road right-of-way, 12.4 acres of park of which 10.9 acres would receive
park credit. Therefore, the proposed Windcrest Plat is in excess of the Fagan
Pcation requirement.
Two single family lots have been removed from Deerwood Drive which brings all
lot frontage on DeerwNood.Drive to 100 or more feet. This 100 feet or more width
is in excess of the minimum frontage requirement for an R-1 zoning district.
The proposed park dedication has been reviewed by the Eagan Park Committee.
Staff recommends that the proposed park dedication in the revised plat be accepted
as the park dedication. The final park recomerdation will be made at the July
Park Committee meeting. _
The comments and recommendations made in the planning report.dated May 16, 1979
by the City Planner and City Engineer should still be taken into consideration if
the preliminary plat is recommended for approval by the Advisory Planning Commission.
Respectfully submitted,
Dale C. Runkle

chase, lights outside the building are still in need of repair:

The application for rezoning has been changed to reflect the planned development
as recommended by Staff. The application which has been readvertised presently
is requesting rezoning of 77 acres of agricultural land to 16.7 acres of R-1
Planned Development; 4.4 acres of R-2 Planned Development; and, 32.0 acres of
R-3 Planned Development.
Site Plan Review
The preliminary plat, Windcrest, has been modified slightly from the May Advisory
Planning Cc mission meeting. The proposed plat presently includes 16.7 acres of
R-1 with 26 single family dwelling units; 4.4 acres of R-2 with 4 duplexes or
8 dwelling units; 32.0 acres of R-3 with 50 quads or 200 dwelling units; 11.5
acres of road right-of-way, 12.4 acres of park of which 10.9 acres would receive
park credit. Therefore, the proposed Windcrest Plat is in excess of the Fagan
Pcation requirement.
Two single family lots have been removed from Deerwood Drive which brings all
lot frontage on DeerwNood.Drive to 100 or more feet. This 100 feet or more width
is in excess of the minimum frontage requirement for an R-1 zoning district.
The proposed park dedication has been reviewed by the Eagan Park Committee.
Staff recommends that the proposed park dedication in the revised plat be accepted
as the park dedication. The final park recomerdation will be made at the July
Park Committee meeting. _
The comments and recommendations made in the planning report.dated May 16, 1979
by the City Planner and City Engineer should still be taken into consideration if
the preliminary plat is recommended for approval by the Advisory Planning Commission.
Respectfully submitted,
Dale C. Runkle
City Planner
