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. Eagan Snowmobile Club Assists CAA 1P EAGAN--Members of the Eagan Valley Rangers Snowmobile N Club recently provided assistance to the Cedar Athletic As- sociation. The snowmobile club provided materials and J spent approximately 100 hours building and painting a 4x4x8 metal box which is located at Rahn Park and used by the CAA for storage of baseball equipment. Members of the two organizations are from left: Paul Grengs, CAA baseball coach, Bob Lammers, CAA facilities director, Maynard Ohm, President of the snowmobile club, Skip Schoepf, snowmobile club member, Ken Hanson, snowmobile club member, and Jim Rosacker, president of CAA. '' .11 -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. 11 ,MEMO TO: PARK COMMITTEE ----"-RECREATION-PROGRAMMER-PETERSON-- DATE: 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 0 Memo -Summer Programs Page 2 September 6, 1979 0 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! • Memo=Summer Programs Page 3 September 6, 1979 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. ADDENDUM TO NIAKWA, INC. of Windcrest • \tj IvecP.car 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.
