4. Project 405, Authorize the Preparation of a Feasibility Report,
Rahn Road - Streets -- As the Council is well aware, the condition
of Rahn Road from Shale Lane to Beau D'Rue Drive has been deteriora-
ting steadily over the past several years to the point that the
maintenance department is having extreme difficulty in maintaining
the existing service through patching. Rahn Road continues to han-
dle increasing volumes of traffic combined with the heavier traffic
loads of fire trucks, MTC busses, school busses, etc. The present
width and design section is inadequate for the present traffic con-
ditions. Due to the fact that this is a municipal state aid street
(MSAS), any improvements to be funded by MSAS would require it to
be widened to the minimum standard of 44' with concrete curb and
gutter. Due to the anticipated easement acquisitions and involved
public hearings associated with this proposed improvement, the pub-
lic works director is requesting authorization to prepare the feasi-
bility report to initiate this process during the summer of 1984
so that the plans can be prepared during the fall of 1984 to be
approved municipal state aid during the winter of 1984/85 for an
early 1985 construction program.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve/deny the prepara-
•tion of a feasibility report for Project 405 (Rahn Road - Street
Improvements).

DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
1. Project 404, Receive Petition/Order Feasibility Report (Lexing-
ton Place 2nd Addition and Lexington Place South - Utilities)
The City has received a petition from U.S. Homes, Inc., requesting
the preparation of a feasibility report to complete the installation
of utilities to service the Lexington Place Subdivision adjacent
to Duckwood Drive. Presently, U.S. Homes is proceeding through
the Planning Commission with a request to change the previously
approved preliminary plat providing for apartment/condominium de-
velopment south of Duckwood Drive to a small lot, zero lot line
single family development similar to the Ridgecliff 7th Addition.
Their proposed construction schedule requires a November 15th com-
pletion of these utilities. This schedule combines with the fact
that to provide sanitary sewer service to this property an easement
will have to be acquired across the easterly portion of Barry Til-
ley's property. They have indicated that they would like to have
the City initiate the public improvement process as soon as possible
and to initiate condemnation proceedings to acquire all required
easements outside this subdivision. However, they have indicated
that they will continue to work with the City and the property
owners for a negotiated acquisition of these easements without con-
demnation.
Normally, the City does not accept petitions and order preparation
of feasibility reports for subdivisions that have not received pre-
liminary plat approval by the City Council. However, they have
guaranteed all costs associated with this early study and feasibili-
ty report preparation should the revised preliminary report not
be approved by the Council. In any event, sanitary sewer service
for the southern portion of the Lexington Place development must
come from Wescott Road through the Tilleys' property irregardless

of the type of development within Lexington Place.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To receive the petition and
order a feasibility report for Project 404, Lexington Place 2nd
Addition and Lexington Place South - Utilities, or continue consi-
deration until the April 17 Council meeting at which time the revi-
sion to the previously approved preliminary plat will be considered.
2. Contract 84-7, Approve Plans/Order Advertisement for Bids
(Cedarvale 2nd Addition - Storm Sewer & Driveways) -- On March 6,
the public hearing was closed and the installation of storm sewer
and driveway extensions to service the businesses within the Cedar -
vale 2nd Addition and the Country C1ub.Market was approved and plans
and specifications were ordered for preparation. These plans have
now been completed and are being presented to the Council for their
review and approval.
As the Council may recall, during the public hearing, there was
concern expressed pertaining to the installation of adequate land-
scaping within the boulevard area to screen the dumpster/loading
dock area of the Country Club Market. A landscaping plan has been
prepared by the Staff with an estimated cost of approximately $2500.
The Public Works Director is meeting with a representative of Coun-
try Club Market Wednesday morning to discuss whether this improve-
ment should be included as a part of the City contract or whether
they elect to install this landscaping privately with a financial
security to guarantee completion this season. The Public works
Director will discuss the status of the landscaping for the Country
Club Market at the Council meeting Thursday evening.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve the plans for
Contract 84-7 and authorize the advertisement for a bid opening
to be held at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, April 13.
3. Advisory Planning Commission Member Selection -- Presently,
Scott Merkley, whose hiring as Engineering Tech II was previously
considered on this agenda, is the designated alternate member for
the Advisory Planning Commission. If his selection to fill the
engineering position is approved by Council action, it may become
necessary for the City Council to appoint a new alternate to the
Planning Commission due to the apparent conflict of interest asso-
ciated with Scott's new position with the City. Scott has indicated
that he would be willing to step down from the Planning Commission
if he is hired to fill the position.
•
•
The Council may wish to select an individual from the past applica-
tions presently on file or request that new applications be solici-
ted with an interview process to be established. •
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To determine the procedure
for filling the proposed vacancy of. the alternate member of the
Advisory Planning Commission.

MEETING
After approval of the March 6, 1984, regular City Council minutes
and the agenda for the March 22, 1984, City Council meeting,
the following items are in order for consideration:
SPECIAL NOTE
There are several Department Head items scheduled for consideration
on this City Council Agenda. There is adequate time to resolve
each of the Department Head items if limited discussion is expected.
However, if members of the City Council anticipate a lengthy
discussion on any of the items, it might be well to continue
those items until later in the City Council meeting, specifically
Public Works since Tom Colbert will be present.
DEPARTMENT (HEAD?.BUS'1N£SS
FIRE DEPARTMENT
• A. Fire Department -- There are no items to be discussed under
Fire Department at this time.
POLICE DEPARTMENT
B. Police Department -- There are two items to be discussed
for the Police Department at this time:
1) Vehicle For the Animal Warden •- As a part of the '1984
Budget, Capital Outlay was approved in the amount of $4,500
for a used van in the Department of Animal Control.
There is also authorization to approve a new van for
the Water and Sewer Department. As a part of the Budget
discussion during the Fall of 1983, there would be some
consideration given to recycling the van in the Utility
Department to Animal Control for the purpose of transporting
animals within the City. Since that discussion, there
has been further discussion at the City Council level
about the purchase of a new van as opposed to recycling
of a used van. The additional amount of money for purchase
of a new van is to be considered out of Equipment Certifi-
cates. A directive was given to the Chief of Police
to investigate the difference between a mini -van and
full-size van and how they relate to the transportation
of animals by the Animal Warden. A copy of t,ha�t memorandum
and cost comparison is enclosed on pages �'through
• _1�_ for review by the City Council.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To consider the purchase
of a van for use by the Animal Warden, with the type of van
to be determined by the City Council.

I spoke to Rosemount Dodge regarding a Dodge Mimi Van vs
the Dodge full-size van. The Mini -cargo van is extremely
difficult to order at this time. The delivery time on the
mini -van is six months to one year. The mini -van is approxi-
mately $356 less than the full-size 6-cyclinder van. If
we do some comparative shopping, I feel we could get a better
price on the full-size cargo van. Dealers are not willing
to reduce their price on the smaller unit as they are in
such demand.
The animal warden drives approximately 12,000 miles per year.
If a new Chrysler product with a galvanized body and rust -
proofing were purchased, I suspect the animal warden could
use the vehicle eight to nine years, barring unforeseen diffi-
culties.
If the 1979 Chevrolet cargo van is transferred from the Water
Department to the animal warden, I estimate it will provide
two to three more years of use. This vehicle currently has
60,000 miles on it and is not rust -proofed. The -1979 Chevrolet
gets approximately 9 miles to the gallon. We would also
have to do some body work on it to allow for air circulation
to the back of the unit for the animals during the summer
months. I understand Richfield did not do this and had several
animals die from the heat while being transported.
Regardless of what we elect to do, we are going to have to
do something soon. On the present van, there are several
spots under the front seat which are completedly rusted through.
A leaf spring broke and went through the floor in the back
of the unit. The outside of the body is rusted through all
away around the outside. I am very concerned about the integ-
rity of the undercarriage because of the rust.

Ordinance has been addressed and the City Administrator
was directed to meet with the Chief of Police and review
the validity of retaining language in the City Code legisla-
ting a Curfew Ordinance. The City Administrator has
reviewed the City Council's concern over enforcement
of a Curfew Ordinance due to the "status offender" legisla-

TO: Thomas L. Hedges, City Administrator
FROM: Chief of Police
SUBJECT: CURFEW ORDINANCE
JAY M. SERTHE
Chief of Polka
This memo is in response to your request to look into the above
ordinance and its effects.
First, I should explain the term "Status Offender". A status
offender is a violation of the law that only a minor can be
charged with such as buying or possessing cigarettes, possession
or consumption of alcohol, truancy, runaway and curfew.
Secondly, the question was raised: "Can we enforce a status
offense?". The answer is yes. I have talked to the county
attorney's staff and they confirm this is addressed in State
Statute 260:125. However, as a past practice, we normally
wait until we have had several contacts with a juvenile before
we petition him/her into Juvenile Court for the status offense.
In Dakota County, there is a special court to handle these
juvenile cases.
Third, I personally, as well as other officers, have received
information from parents who are very much in agreement with
the Curfew Ordinance. In many cases, it seems to give the
parents in need of a reson to restrict their child's evening
activities, an excuse, if you will, to put a time limit on
their request.
As officers, we feel this ordinance gives us assistance in
dealing with the late hour loitering by youths. In the past
we have found that children will sometimes tell their parents
that they are staying at a friends or "camping out" in a tent,
but instead they spend a good deal of their time roaming the
streets, and in some cases, committing car prowls, vandalisms,
thefts and/or burglaries. Also we have had problems with young
people from Eagan as well as from neighboring communities "hanging
around" Cedarvale, Cedarvale Lanes and the "Q" station. In
some instances, they create a problem for the merchants by
disturbing the customers. This ordinance give us the authority
to ask them to leave if no specific crime has been committed
except their nuisance.

"Curfew Ordinance"
• Page Two
It is extremely rare for us to petition a young person to court
for a curfew violation but if we have had several contacts
with the youth, this may be the contact that sends him/her
to court.
Also, under item 10.30, subd#5, no mention is made of youths
going to or from work. I am sure this was an oversight and
the proper wording could be added.

MEMO TO: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
FROM: THOMAS L. HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
DATE: FEBRUARY 24, 1984
SUBJECT: NAMING OF PARK LANDS/CITY OF EAGAN
In official action that was taken by the Eagan City Council
at a regular meeting held on Tuesday, February 7, 1984, 14 parks
were renamed in accordance with the recommendation for renaming
the parks as set forth by the Advisory Parks and Recreation
Commission. Those parks include: Oak Chase Park, Thomas Lake
Park, Carnelian Park, Cinnamon Park, Country Home Park, O'Leary
Park, Fish Lake Park, Berry Patch Park, Pilot Knob Park, Ridgecliff
Park, Walnut Hill Park, Wescott Station Park, Woodhaven Park,
and Meadowland Park. The City Council excluded from their official
authorization of park names six (6) other park lands and are
suggesting to the Parks and Recreation Commission alternative
names for those parks. The following lists the park land names
as recommended by the Advisory Commission, immediately followed
by a new name as a suggestion from the City Council:
(* There was no recommendation, however, the City Council felt
there might be family tension if Schwanz, Trapp, or some other
family name is used for this property. If a family name is
to be used, it should clearly be the name of the family who
either originally settled the property or has had ownership
to the property longer than any other family.)
The City Council appreciates the work the Advisory Parks and
Recreation Commission has put into the renaming of the park
land and was especially excited about the creativity in using
unique names. The main reason for changing two of the park
land names back to the original, Northview and Highline, is
due to the community -wide name recognition of those two parks,
much the same as Carnelian Park. The reason for changing Robber's
Ravine Park was basically a feeling that the word, "Robber's",
might not provide a good connotation throughout the community
and, furthermore, the name is quite lengthy. The reason for
changing Barley Corn to Moonshine is one of identification.
The City Council concluded that a majority of people using the
park might not associate Barley Corn with the making of alcohol,
whereas, Moonshine more clearly defines historical significance
• of an activity that once occurred in that park.

MEMO TO: TOM HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
RE: NAMING OF PARKS
The Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission on Thursday,
March 1, reviewed the issue of park names.Essentially
there were six parks which the City Council deferred back
to the Commission for review again. The Commission did this
at its regular meeting and asked Mr. Carroll, who was the
Chairman of the Parks Names Committee to address a memo to
the City Council explaining how some of the names were
derived.
I might add that as it relates to Northview Athletic Fields,
there were two additional thoughts concerning the need to
change this name designation.. First, access to the park
is not available from Northview School. There has been and
continues to be some confusion when you say Northview Fields,
you mean Northview School and people tend to go to the wrong
• facility. Further, there is no access to Northview Park near
the school site and hence, there is confusion evolved from
this dilemma.
The second aspect of the name change is that Burnsville also
has a Northview Park location. Apparently this has caused
some confusion with those residents of Eagan who live in the
Burnsville school district when mention is made of athletic
activities at Northview Park/Athletic Fields as it relates
to soccer and other activities.
Perhaps with time permitting, this item could be placed on
the March 22 Council Agenda or deferred to the special meeting
of the Advisory Commission on Tuesday, March 27, if you feel
this would be a more appropriate opportunity to discuss this.

MEMORAKDDM
DATE: March 6, 1984
TO: Kenneth Vraa, Director of Parks & Recreation
FROM: Richard L. Carroll (/
SUBJECT: Naming of Park Lan a C iy of Eagan
In response to the Memorandum from Mr. Hedges dated February 24, 1984, the
following information is presented as the consensus of Commission.
1. Downing Athletic Fields is the recommended name rather than
Northview Athletic Fields. This is a City Park - not a school
field and therefore deserving of its own identification. We
believe a subtle association of this park with education is
fine. That is whey we selected the name of Eagan's first
teacher for this park. Within a few years Eagan will
undoubtedly have its own high school next door. the Northview
name will then fade into a secondary importance. Finally,
please note that our Park System Plan calls for an athletic
park in Section 10. You will note that this location is north
northwest of Northview. We do not believe we should confuse
our people with a Northview which is actually south southeast
of another athletic park.
• 2. Stonecutter's Park was recommended because a deceased early
settler in the area who plied his trade in erecting our State
Capitol Building. We are not aware of a quarry of any
significance in the area.
•
3. Eagan's history has noted that the Jesse James Gang spent the
night near this park on their way from St. Paul to Northfield
where their botched bank robbery made history. We would rather
try again at a new name rather than to use the generic term
"Ravine".
4. Barley Corn Park is preferred over Moonshine Park by all
members. Moonshine was the "official" name for the cooked -down
stuff. Barley Corn was the down-home part of history. Before
alcoholism became a disease it was known as being in the
clutches of John Barley Corn.
5. Logger's Trail was recommended because when the railroad was
being built along the eastern edge of Eagan much of the choice
white oak trees along this trail were sawed into railroad ties
and sledded generally along this trail to the rail site. This
again is part of our history. The name "Highline" like road,
ditch, or ravine has little significance and would create no
user interest.

6. Trapp Farm Park - We suggest this name be withdrawn from
further consideration until a more detailed analysis can be
made.
In summary the Advisory Park & Recreation Commission has attempted to create
interest and enthusiasm in the naming of parks. We also believe it is an
excellent opportunity to interweave our history with our surroundings. We
hope that the children will have a chance to use their imagination, not just
with cold statistics of history but perhaps some of the lore that is part of
our past. It is understood that a brief summary will be signed at the
entrance's to these parks so that park users too can learn and enjoy the aura
of Eagan.

at the Fire Administration Building for City wide groups.
Cleaning of the Building will be a requirement following
the use of the community room by various groups, and

• TOM HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS a RECREATION
DATE: MARCH 6, 1984
SUBJECT: LAWCON/LCMR FISCAL YEAR 1985 GRANT APPLICATIONS
The Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission on March 1, 1984,
reviewed potential grant applications for the Fiscal Year 1985
LAWCON/LCMR grants program (see attachment addressed to the
Advisory Commission).
The Advisory Commission reviewed each of the subject park parcels
and after a thorough discussion, has recommended to the City
Council that grants be submitted in the following priority:
1. Coachman Park
2. Schwanz Lake Park
3.- Capricorn Park
In addition, the Advisory Commission has recommended to the
City Council that the City staff and City Attorney be authorized
to begin negotiations for acquisition of approximately 1.4 acres
• from three private property owners whose property touch upon
the south shore of Schwanz Lake. It was noted that acquisition
costs could come from part of a combined development/acquisition
proposal or from the park site fund as may be necessary.
Members also noted an express concern for the requirement of
providing matching funds for each grant application. They requested
staff to review and restructure said grant applications to reduce
the amount of the City's match to a level acceptable to the
Council and sustainable within the park site fund.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION
.
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION
DATE: FEBRUARY 23, 1984
SUBJECT: FISCAL YEAR 1985 LAWCON/LCMR PARK GRANTS
At the February meeting of the Advisory Parks & Recreation Commis-
sion, staff made a brief presentation on possible changes for
the fiscal year 1985 LAWCON/LCMR Grants program. Although the
Metropolitan Council has not adopted its final review criteria,
it would be appropriate for the Advisory Parks and Recreation
Commission to determine its priorities for grant applications
to insure that these applications can be submitted on a timely
basis. Therefore, staff has prepared the following information
relative to potential park sites for your consideration.
1. Coachman Park - In 1979 the City received an acquisition
grant to acquire a portion of now Coachman Park. This
grant was awarded to the City under the entitlement
of a community athletic complex for Section 9. The
amount of the grant award to the City was for $99,000.
Of this amount approximately $33,000 was of state LCMR
funds. Because there is a $200,000 maximum award for
• LCMR funds to any single project, there remains at
least $170,000 of funding which can still be sought
for development of the this park area. The working
proposal currently being reviewed for a possible park
bond referendum, indicates that Coachman Park's development
would cost approximately $220,000, thus making it eligible
for the funding under the LCMR/LAWCON cost -haring formula.
2. Schwanz Lake. Park - The designation of Schwanz Lake
Park as a community park may give this park area some
priority for grant funding. However, there are three
identifiable problems at this time which may affect
the awarding of funds to the City for this park. These
three problems are as follows: 1) the City does not
currently own the property although it has been designated
for acquisition under the Lexington South PUD. Assuming
that Mr. Curry follows through with his intentions
of deeding this property to the City by October of
1984, this concern will be eliminated; 2) there remains
approximately 1.4 acres of additional shoreline aquisition
from three private property owners whose lot lines
touch upon the south shore of Schwanz Lake. This aquisi-
tion was noted in the systems plan study. Should the
determination be made that a grant should be submitted
for Schwanz Lake Park for development, direction should
be given to the City Attorney's office to proceed with
is negotiations for purchase of this land. Acquisition
costs could become a part of the grant application
under a combined development/acquisition proposal;

3) Access to Schwann Lake Park is to be from the proposed
future South Wescott Hills Drive. Because the timing
of this road construction is uncertain, it may affect
the ranking of the grant. This can be somewhat mitigated
by the inclusion of a temporary access road on the
alignment of the future road bed. Including the optional
shelter building for Schwanz Lake, development costs
are estimated at $390,000. Under current formulas
and at this grant maximum, the City could receive a
total of $150,000 assuming sufficiently high rankings.
3.
Capricorn Park - Capricorn Park has been designated
as a quasi -community park facility under the park system
plan. Estimated cost for the development of this facility
is $460,000. Like Schwanz Lake, assuming high enough
grant ranking, the City could expect to receive as
much as $150,000 toward these development costs. Capricorn
Park, because of its size, service area, accessibility
by major roadways, as well as site suitability, lends
itself toward being ranked as a significant project.
4.
Rahn Park - Staff has considered the Phase 2 approach
•
to the development of the athletic fields at Rahn Park.
However, the City has already received, under the previous
acquisition and Phase 1 development grant, $170,000.
Current guidelines prohibit more than $200,000 maximum
for any single project and, therefore, would limit
the City to receiving only an additional $30,000 toward
the Phase 2 development.
5. Thomas Lake Park/Blackhawk Park - The Director of Parks
and Recreation has been approached by Mr. Ed Dunn to
determine the interest of the City in acquiring, through
purchase, the parkland designated under the existing
PUD's for dedication, and in the case of Blackhawk Park,
the offer to sell additional land to the south of Black -
hawk Lake. Under the proposal to_acquire through purchase
parkland shown to be dedicated under the PUD agreement,
the City would acquire the land with a grant application
allowing the City to have earlier control of the property
and then reinstating a cash dedication requirement
on the adjacent land parcel which would generate future
cash dedication fees exceeding the City's share in
the cost acquisition procedure. This would be similar
to acquisition of designated park property along Blackhawk
Lake.
• Staff has a concern for the rankings of acquisition applications
at this time as the ranking criteria is now heavily weighted
toward development type projects. Staff has been considering
II
DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION/ADVISORY COMMISSION
• February 23, 1984
Page 3
a possible development project for Thomas Lake Park but without
acquisition of the property or acquisition pending, it is very
unlikely the City would receive approval of a grant application.
The Advisory Commission should make a determination of which
grant applications it would like to have submitted for the fiscal
year '85 grant cycle. Members should keep in mind that it may
now submit more than one grant application. Members must also
keep in mind that matching funds will be required by the City
should the grants be awarded to any one or all of the projects
submitted. There is insufficient funding within the park site
fund to cover these matching costs and could only be made available
through a successful parks bond referendum or special assessment
levy.

tion Commission is asked to select for recommendation to the

MEMO\TO: —TOM HEDGES,_CITY_ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION
DATE: MARCH 6, 1984
SUBJECT: KEHNE HOUSE
The subcommittee of the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission
on special issues, met on February 23, 1984, to review the informa-
tion concerning the Kehne House. The subcommittee had met twice
previously in regard to this issue and met with the purpose
of reviewing, the information prepared by Mr. Roger Sjobeck
of the Adkins Association Inc. Mr. Sjobeck is the principal
architect in the Association and a resident of the City of Eagan
who has volunteered his time to do a preliminary review of this
house. At that subcommittee meeting and the regular meeting
on March 1, 1984, with the entire membership of the Advisory
Commission, the Commission again reviewed the status of the
Kehne House. The Advisory Commission concurred with the subcommit-
tee's findings that the Kehne House has substantial potential
for use as a future City facility. This was based on Mr. Sjobeck's
preliminary findings on the condition of the house.
Although Mr. Sjobeck had made two visits to the home and spent
a considerable amount of time reviewing the blueprints and condition
• of the house, it was noted that this was still a preliminary
finding relative to the cost and value of the home. It was
therefore suggested that, based on these findings, that a more
intensive investigative research is warranted. Therefore, the
subcommittee requested Mr. Sjobeck to prepare a cost estimate
to do a more detailed study. In response to this request,
Mr. Sjobeck has suggested that the following work be done:
1. A remeasuring and redrafting of the floor plan of the
house should be made because of the obvious number
of additions that were made from the original plan.
•
2. A thorough survey of the condition of the house including
its mechanical and utilitarian functions be made to
note deficiencies.
3. That a draft plan be drawn to show major changes which
would be required to correct any deficiencies and/or
to make the house suitable for public/private use.
4. That a review and redesign of the bathroom to determine
its suitability for use as a private facility or public/
handicapped useage.
5. That a detailed cost estimate be prepared on the home.

Mr. Sjobeck suggested that such work could be done on a hourly,
not -to -exceed figure of $1,200.
As discussed. by the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission,
it was recommended to the City Council that Mr. Sjobeck be hired
to perform the work as outlined on a cost not -to -exceed basis.
It was the Commission's feeling that to proceed on any direction
relative to the utilization of the home is justified by this
expenditure.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve/disapprove
of the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission recommendation
to hire Mr. }oger Sjobeck to perform a detailed review of the
Kehne House AYth cost estimates for remodification.

RESOLUTION FOR INTOXILYZER
B. Resolution for Intoxilyzer -- The City of Eagan has been noti-
fied by the State of Minnesota, Department of Public Safety, Bureau
of Criminal Apprehension, that a new Intoxilyzer 5000 will be leased
at no cost to the City of Eagan by the State. This equipment re-
places the old Breathalyzer equipment that is currently used by
our Police Department. The State is asking that the City enter
into an agreement at no cost to the City for this mechanism which
will allow the State to place a new infrared breathtesting instru-
ment and stimulator within our Police Department. The Intoxilyzers
were purchased with money from a Federal highway and traffic safety
grant and from the State of Minnesota legislative appropriation
of matching funds. They are distributing the testing instruments
in a manner similar to the program in which the City received the
Breathalyzer equipment. Again, there is no cost allocation required
by the City Council; however, a resolution approving a lend/lease
program for the Intoxilyzer 5000 is required.

MUNICIPAL STATE AID STREETS
D. Resolution Designating Municipal State Aid Streets (MSAS) --
The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department has reviewed
our annual allocation for designation of municipal state aid streets
(MSAS) for 1984. This review results in the recommendation that
Four Oaks Road from Coachman Road to Pilot Knob Road (through the
Sperry Park property) be deleted from MSAS designation due to the
fact that this road connection has been formally dropped from con-
sideration by the City Council through the approval of the Compre-
hensive Land Use Guide Plan. Taking this mileage and adding to
it the additional mileage available due to our growth. We have
designated four streets to maintain our maximum mileage designation
and resultant maintenance and construction funding assistance as

CONTRACT 83-01/WATER TREATMENT PLANT
F. Contract 83-01, Change Order #4, Water Treatment Plant -- Con-
tinuous research into the filter -media material to be installed
in our Water Treatment Plant has indicated that the particle sizes
specified to be furnished, may be slightly larger than desired to
optimize the cleansing action of the backwash cycle of our Water
Treatment Plant.Subsequently, our consulting engineering firm
is recommending that the specified particle size be changed which
will result in considerable savings in the operation costs of the
City Water Treatment Plant over the life of these filters due to
the fact that they will be able to be cleansed through the backwash
cycle at a faster rate and will have to be rinsed less frequently.
The net result of this change order will be an ADD of $6,312.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve/deny change order

PROJECT 386/CANCELLATION OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
G. Project 386, Knob Hill Professional Park - Cancellation of
Public Improvement Project -- At the December 20, 1983, public
hearing for the above -referenced project, the developer for the
Knob Hill Professional Park was not sure whether he wished to pro-
ceed with the installation of these improvements under a City
contract or privately. Due to the absence of the Director of Public
Works at that particular Council meeting, the City Council was not
properly advised as to the recommended action to be taken. Sub-
sequently, the Council approved the project for installation under
a City contract instead of continuing the public hearing until the
determination could be made by the developer. Subsequently, this
project has been carried as a pending assessment on all special
assessment searches for this property due to its order for instal-
lation by Council action.
We have recently received a letter from the developer with his final
decision indicating that he wishes to proceed with this improvement
privately. Therefore, because this project was formally ordered
for installation by Council action on December 20, it is necessary
for the Council to formally cancel this project to release the
• pending assessment liens that presently exist against this property.
•
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To cancel Project 386 for
the installation of streets and utilities for the Knob Hill Profes-

CARRIAGE HILLS REVENUE BOND
A. Consideration of Preliminary Resolution for a Multi -Family
Housing Development Bond Issue for Carriage Hills Apartment Project
($6 million) -- At the February 7, 1984, City Council meeting, a
public hearing was set for March 22, 1984, to consider a $6 million
multi -family housing development revenue bond issue application
submitted by Miller and Schroeder Municipals Inc. for the Carriage
Hills Apartments project. Since this type of revenue bond financing
is new -to the City Council, the Finance Committee was directed to
meet with representatives of Miller and Schroeder and review the
revenue bond program and prepare a report to the City Council for
further consideration. Due to the number of issues presented before
the City staff and City Council, it has not been possible to hold
a Finance Committee meeting regarding the proposed revenue bond
issue, and therefore, at the last regular City Council meeting,
this item was continued until the April 3 City Council meeting
allowing for a Finance Committee meeting to be scheduled. Since
the last City Council, it has been learned that the key person at
Miller and Scroeder who is the expert in the area of housing revenue
bonds will not be available to meet until after April 9, and there-
fore, it is recommended that this item be continued until the April
17 City Council meeting. The City Administrator will present addi-
tional information on this item as a part of the April 17 City
Council packet if the Finance Committee is ready to present its
facts at that time.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To open the public hearing
and continue any consideration on the issuance of housing revenue
bonds for Carriage Hills Apartments project until the Finance Com-
mittee has met and prepared their fact finding for review and con-
sideration by the City Council, which is anticipated at the April

AMENDMENT TO HOUSING PLAN
B. Amendment to Housing Plan --As a part of any future considera-
tion for a housing development revenue bond for the Carriage Hills
Apartments project, it is necessary to consider an amendment to
to the City's housing plan. As the City Council recalls, a housing
plan was presented as a part of the Comprehensive Guide Plan to
the Metropolitan Council and has been amended when the HRA organized
a $10 million bond bill with the City of West St. Paul., The
adoption of a 462C housing plan amendment is an acknowledgement
by the City that Minnesota Statute, Chapter 462C, has given Eagan
the opportunity to issue its tax exempt bonds to assist in lowering
the cost of financing for the construction or rehabilitation of
multiple dwelling structures.
The housing plan amendment as stated is to be considered by the
City Council, however, the approval can either be subject to future
authorization of the revenue bond issue for Carriage Hills Apart-
ments or the amendment can be approved in anticipation of other •
housing development revenue bond issues for multi -family housing.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny an amend-
ment to the City's housing plan as stated with the possibility of
being subject to future consideration of the multi -family housing
development revenue bond issue for the Carriage Hills project.

LONE OAK TREE
A. Lone Oak Tree -- The Lone Oak Tree is scheduled to be removed on
April 10 - 11 to specifications determined by the City. City
Councilmember Wachter and City Administrator Hedges have reviewed
the proposal of Mr. Kent Nerburn who is suggesting that a sculpture
be made using the trunk of the Lone Oak Tree. City Councilmember
Wachter is recommending that the work of at least one other person
be reviewed to determine other alternatives for the use of the Lone
Oak Tree before any final consideration is given to a sculpture.
It is anticipated that City Councilmember Wachter and the City
Administrator will have an opportunity to review the work of another
sculptor prior to the April 3 City Council meeting at which time
a full report will be presented for consideration. This item is
placed on the agenda at the request of MnDot for verification that
April 10 and 11 are acceptable dates for the removal of the tree
and further to acknowledge that there is no ceremony planned for
the removal of the tree; however, dedication of a plaque adjacent
to the new Lone Oak Tree by Trinity Lone Oak Church is anticipated
• sometime in mid-May. It seemed more appropriate to have the dedi-
cation and celebration at the time the plaque was officially dedi-
cated in memory of the Lone Oak Tree. The removal of the tree will
be a tedious process, taking approximately two days by MnDot per-
sonnel so that branches and the trunk are preserved. All members
of the public or non-profit groups who\are interested in having
a piece of the Lone Oak Tree should contact the office of the City
Administrator in writing and once a policy is formally established
by the City Council, they will be notified as to whether a piece
of the Lone Oak Tree will be made available. In the meantime, the
tree will be properly preserved in accordance with a plan set.forth
by the City and the State.
There is no action required by the City Council; however, an
acknowledgement that MnDot is scheduled to remove the tree on
October 11 and 12.

• MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
�U��F'ROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION
DATE: MARCH 20, 1984
RE: CITIZENS TASK FORCE ON PARKS —
On Monday, March 19, the Citizens Task Force on parks concluded the review
process of the Working Proposal and has concluded with a recommendation to
the City Council that it proceed with a Spring 1984 parks bond referendum.
The Committee is recommending that a two part question be proposed. Part
One would be a request for.$3,316,000. and Part Two for $1,096,000.. Attached
is a Summary Information of the Task Force recommendation which summarizes
the referendum's proposal.
May 22, 1984 is suggested as a referendum date.
Mr. Ernie Clarke of Miller and Schroeder, the City's financial bond consultant
has prepared a preliminary schedule for a proposed issue. Please be aware
that the principal amounts differ from the Task Force because of changes that
were recently made. These changes are not substantial and should closely
reflect the bonding amounts. Mr. Clarke has also prepared an estimate of
the impact of the bonds on real estate taxes for 1985. Decreases in the cost
• to the homeowner's taxes will occur each "subsequent year after 1985. This
is the result of continued City growth in commercial, industrial and residential
areas and the deduction in the principal amount. This information is an early
preliminary estimate and can be reviewed in greater detail at the joint meeting
of the City Council/Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission scheduled for
Tuesday, March 27.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED:
To receive/accept the Citizens Task Force for parks.recommendation for a Spring
parks bond referendum.
Establish May 22, 1984 as the date for a parks bond referendum:

PRELIMINARY PLAT/OAK CLIFF
A. Richard Winkler, Winkler Development, for Preliminary Plat,
Oak Cliff, Consisting of Approximately 33 Acres and Containing
75 Single Family Lots and 9 Twinhome Lots -- The Advisory Planning
Commission held a public hearing on February 28, 1984, to consider
an application submitted by Richard Winkler on behalf of Winkler
Development Company requesting preliminary plat as proval of
Oak Cliff Addition that consists of approximately 33— a -crams and
contains 75 single family lots and 9 twinhome lots (18 dwelling
units). According to the City Planner, the APC discussed and
made the following observations during the public hearing:
1) The proposed application was of a lesser density than
the 1982 approval.
2) The parcel has a density of 5.5 dwelling units per acre
and the applicant was proposing 75 single family lots
and 9 twinhome lots for a total of 93 dwelling units.
• 3) All the single family lots met the R-1. 12,000 sq. ft.
requirement and contained the 85 ft. lot width at 30
ft. setback.
4) All twinhome lots met the R-2 zoning standards.
5) The APC discussion revolved around the access and circulation
of the single family twinhome lot and the concept of
the townhouse development referenced on Outlot B.
6) After considerable discussion it was determined and recom-
mended that the cul-de-sac be allowed as proposed and
the through street should not be extended through the
townhouse portion of the development.
7) Private street in Outlot B should be constructed to City
standards of 32 ft. wide.
8) The APC acknowledged that the land is registered as Torrens
property and that the entire Winkler/Jackson development
should be platted.
9) There will be a number of outlots created with the overall
platting.
The Advisory Planning Commission is recommending approval of
• the preliminary plat application to the City Council. For addition-
al information on this item, refer to a copy of the City Planner's

SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT -.OAK CLIFF
APPLICANT: RICHARD WINKLER, WINKLER DEVELOPMENT CO
LOCATION: PART OF THE W' OF THE NA OF SECTION 31
EXISTING ZONING: PD (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: FEBRUARY 28, 1984
DATE OF REPORT: FEBRUARY 22, 1984
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted request-
ing preliminary plat approval, Oak Cliff Addition, consisting of
approximately 33 acres and containing 75 single family lots and
9 twinhome lots (18 dwelling units) in part of the W� of the NW;
of Section 31 lying westerly of Slater's Road.
ZONING AND LAND USE:
• Presently, the parcel is zoned PD under the Winkler -Jackson Plan-
ned Development. The total acreage in this planned development is
approximately 90 and has a maximum number of dwelling units of 460
to be allowed within this planned development. There is also some
commercial approved on the east side of Slater's Road and just south
of Cliff Road.
The Comprehensive Guide Plan designates this entire tract as R -II
(Mixed Residential) with a density of 3-6 dwelling units per acre.
In review of this particular plan, there is proposed 96 dwelling
units on 33 acres, or a gross density of 2.9 dwelling units per
acre. Therefore, this particular plan is within the guidelines of
the R -II, however, the Winkler -Jackson Planned Development would
supersede the Land Use Plan because of the contract in effect with
the City for this particular area.
COMMENTS
In July, 1982, the applicant entered into a planned development
agreement, the Winkler -Jackson Planned Development which consisted
of approximately 90 acres and allowed some Limited, Commercial and
Neighborhood Business use along with a maximum density of 460 dwell-
ing units to be constructed in this 90 -acre tract. This planned
development is in effect for five years and will terminate in 1987.
• In review of this particular agreement in regard to the density
factor as to whether this revised site plan requiresan amendment
to the planned development or whether this be permitted within the
31
CITY OF EAGAN •
PRELIMINARY PLAT - OAK CLIFF
FEBRUARY 28, 1984

context of the development agreement, in the density section of
Paragraph 6 of the planned development agreement, it relates to
the maximum density allowed of 460 dwelling units which cannot be
exceeded within the Winkler -Jackson Planned Development. The last
paragraph in the density section of the planned development agree-
ment states that the developer has the sole discretion to develop
at a lower density than what has been approved in the planned de-
velopment agreement. Therefore, it is staff's interpretation that
the planned development spells out the option that the developer
is developing at a lesser density, therefore, no amendment to the
planned development agreement is required.
As you may recall in 1983, there was a preliminary plat submitted
for a small portion of this area to be developed as townhouses and
an overall concept as to how this outlot could develop in an over-
all townhouse theme and shifting the balance, or the 102-104 dwell-
ing units not constructed (the maximum allowed), to Outlot A for
a garden apartment -condominium. This concept was approved with the
details to be reviewed when that phase of the plan develops.
It is staff's understanding that the plan mentioned in the paragraph •
above is no longer the intention of the applicant or developer.
Since the plan was approved, it had been determined that the pro-
ject is unfeasible to construct due to the costs of the project.
Therefore, the applicant has withdrawn the original preliminary
plat and has now submitted a new preliminary plat changing the use
and developing at the lower density than what was originally approv-
ed.
The plat submitted for the February 28, 1984 Advisory Planning Com-
mission meeting would consist of approximately 33 acres and would
contain 75 single family lots and 9 twinhome lots (18 units) for a
total of 96 dwelling units. The applicant has also submitted in
concept form that an additional 34 townhouse units be constructed
north of the existing plat and also that Outlot A remain as a 102-
104 dwelling unit garden apartment area. The total density for this
plat would now be at 231 dwelling units, or 77 dwelling units less
than what was originally approved.
In review of the single family portion of the development, the ap-
plicant is proposing to construct 75 single family lots of which
all lots meet the minimum 12,000 square foot lot size requirement
and a minimum of 85' lot width at the 30' setback. Therefore, the
single family portion of the plat meets all R-1 zoning standards
and conformswith the R-1 lot size requirements. The applicant has
also met all of the square footage and lot width requirements for •
the R-2 lots which would be 9 lots or 18 dwelling units. These
lots would be at the very northerly edge of the plat being a buffer
between the townhouse or higher density and the single family de-
velopment.

PRELIMINARY PLAT - OAK CLIFF

The applicant is proposing to provide a curvilineal loop street de-
sign to provide access to the single family lots. The applicant is
proposing two accesses to Slater's Road - one stub street connection
to the south and one cul-de-sac which would separate the single fami-
ly use from the townhouse use on the very northwesterly portion of
the plat. There has been some discussion in regard to connecting
this cul-de-sac and providing a looped street north and running
through the townhouse portion to Slater's Road. However, due to
the topography or elevation difference and land use difference, it
appears that it would be more suitable to provide the cul-de-sac
than to provide the through street connection.
In reviewing this preliminary plat, there appears to be one factor
which becomes a problem in platting this particular property. Pre-
sently, the property is recorded under the Torrens system, and once
you begin to plat Torrens property, you have to convert the entire
tract from the Torrens description into outlots in order to keep
track of the entire parcel. Once the outlots have been establish-
ed, then each of the outlots can then be resubdivided into a lot
and block configuration. However, you cannot take just a portion
• of this plat and convert it to lots and blocks and leave the rest
as Torrens or unrecorded property. Therefore, the applicant is
platting 14.58 acres into lots and blocks which would consist of
the first phase of the development containing 31 single family lots
and 8 twinhome lots (16 dwelling units). Even though the entire
tract is being set up in outlots, the plat is only consisting of
the lots and blocks mentioned in this paragraph. The second phase
would be the remainder or 50 single family lots and one twinhome
lot (2 dwelling units) which would be Outlot A of the proposed plat.
Outlots B and C and F are the other outlots which have been estab-
lished and would develop in the townhouse or higher density as agreed
to in the planned development agreement. Outlots D and E are the two
commercial outlots which would then be replatted once the applicant
starts the commercial portion of the development plan.
If approved, the preliminary plat and planned development shall be
subject to the following conditions:
1) The total density on the planned development shall be reduced
by 77 dwelling units for the Outlot B portion or the area west
of Slater's Road. The new density number for this area west
of Slater's Road should be 231 dwelling units total vs. the
56.56 acres X 5.5 dwelling units per acre.
2) All lots being platted shall meet the minimum R-1 and R-2
zoning standards.
• 3) The 34 townhouse units proposed on the north be approved
only in concept and that a detailed review will be done at
the time this area is platted.

4) The applicant shall meet all other obligations of the Winkler
Jackson Planned Development in regard to dedication of park-
land and the grading or escrowing money for grading of the
parkland to a suitable condition.
5) A homeowner's association or common maintenance agreement
shall be required for the 8 twinhome lots.
6) All other City Code requirements shall be adhered to.

10) A cul-de-sac should be eliminated with a public street
being extended through the townhouse development to connect
to Slater's Road. The minimum street right-of-way to be
dedicated shall be 60 feet.

• MEMO TO: THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE,
CITY PLANNER
FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
DATE: FEBRUARY 22, 1984
SUBJECT: OAK CLIFF ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department has the
following comments regarding this proposed development for consid-
eration by the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council.
DRAINAGE/TOPOGRAPHY
The existing topography of this proposed development is very hilly
and wooded. Slopes range from 28 to 258. Most of this area is
well drained with the general drainage being towards the north in-
to Pond AP -10 as shown in Figure 1. However, due to its hilly na-
ture, there are two small depressions located in the proximity of
Lot 9, Block 2 and Lot 5, Block 4. Presently, Pond AP -10 does not
have any outlet to control the water elevation. The Master -Drain-
age Plan indicates a lift station will be required to pump excess
storm water to the southeast into Pond AP -19 which does have a
positive outlet.
• The proposed grading for this development will not significantly
alter any existing drainage patterns. It will, however, utilize
the previously mentioned depressions as storm water detention ponds.
This is acceptable providing outlets to these ponds are constructed.
Furthermore, due to the steep slopes found over this area, a detail-
ed grading and erosion control plan must be submitted for review
and approval by staff.
UTILITIES
Utilities of sufficient size, depth and capacity exist within the
proximity of this proposed development to service it. A 12" trunk
water main is in place along Slater's Road from Cliff Road midway
to this property where it then turns into an 8" water main along
the remaining portion of this property. Sanitary sewer is repre-
sented by an 8" line in place along Slater's Road from Cliff Road
to approximately the midpoint of this parcel. Also, an 8" sani-
tary sewer is available at the intersection of James Street and
Slater's Road. Storm sewer is provided along Slater's Road from
the south boundary of this proposed development to approximately
600' north. The relationship of these existing utilities is more
clearly illustrated in Figure 2. It should be noted that the storm
sewer previously mentioned is designed to handle only the runoff
for Slater's Road, and it.does not include runoff from this devel-
• opment.

ENGINEERING REPORT
OAK CLIFF ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT •
FEBRUARY 22, 1984
PAGE TWO
All internal utilities will be the responsibility of this develop-
ment to provide. In addition to the sanitary sewer and water main,
it will be this development's responsibility to install storm sewer
outlets to the previously mentioned depressions they are intending
to utilize as detention ponds. The outlets for these ponds must be
directed towards Pond AP -10 since the storm sewer in Slater's Road
is not sized to accommodate any additional flows other than off the
immediate roadway.
STREETS
Slater's Road is the existing street which provides access to this
parcel. It is under the City's jurisdiction and has been construct-
ed to its ultimate 44 -foot wide community collector street design.
Cliff Road (County Road 32) borders the northern boundary of this
parcel and is under the jurisdiction of Dakota County. Subsequent-
ly, no access would be provided off of it.
Access to the residential portion of this proposed development is
via internal streets .off of Slater's Road. The internal street
layout is well conceived to provide for traffic movement and future
access to the south. However, in our never ending quest to elimi-
nate all dead-end streets such as proposed for the townhouse area, •
staff recommends eliminating the cul-de-sac in the residential area
and extending the street to the north through the townhouse area
and subsequently connecting to Slater's Road.. Although the topogra-
phy between the townhouse development and the residential develop-
ment is rather difficult, it would not be prohibitive from making
this connection. Subsequently, staff believes any disadvantages
caused by construction would outweighed by the advantage of provid-
ing two accesses to the proposed townhouse development, since it
would eliminate an approximately 1,000 -foot dead-end private street.
RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS
All right-of-way has been provided for Slater's Road and Cliff Road.
Right-of-way shall be dedicated within this plat for all public
streets and shall be a minimum of 60 feet.
In addition to the regular utility easements adjacent public right-
of-way and lot lines, a ponding easement shall be dedicated for
Pond AP -10 and the two small detention ponds previously mentioned.
A 20 -foot utility easement will be required to be centered over the
lot line between Lots 1 and 2 of Block 4 and a 15 -foot utility ease-
ment to be centered over the lot lines between Lot 5 and 6 of Block
6 should the extention of the public street not be approved by the
Planning Commission. In addition, utility and drainage easements
of sufficient width shall be provided over the lot lines which are •
utilized for the installation of storm sewer laterals for this de-
velopment.

ASSESSMENTS
All trunk related assessments have been levied over this parcel.
However, the trunk area assessment for storm sewer was assessed
at the single family rate and should be upgraded to the multi-
family.rate for the townhouse portion. This may be accomplished
at the time of development of phase three. .Otherwise, all costs
for internal utilities and streets will be the sole responsibili-
ty of,this development.
I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report with the
Advisory Planning Commission at their meeting of February 28,
1984.

HOLIES ADDITION - PAM HOLMES - PRELIM!fNARY PLAT
The Chairmanext convened the hearing cerning the application for
preliminary plat app val of Holmes Additi , consisting of approximately 1
acre and containing two ngle family to , located in part of the NW 1/4 of
the NW 1/4 of Section 10, ng north Quarry Lane and Towerview Road. The
Chairman then turned it over to e C y Planner for presentation of the staff
report. The Planner gave the ge al location and what the applicant was
proposing to do - subdivide appr ima y 1 acre into two single family lots.
He noted that it has been re ewed by a Department of Natural Resources
because of its proximity to May Lake and a noted that two variances would
be required. There were everal questions fr the audience regarding this
subdivision, and the anning Commission had so concerns regarding the
assessments and how a upgrading of the street would feet this parcel. The
Advisory Planning mmission members noted that they we unclear as to what
has been const cted and what hasn't and wanted a full report as to what
construction s taken place and what would be required with this development.
Upon motio by McCrea, seconded Wilkins, it was resolved to continue the
applicat n until the March 27, 1984 Advisory Planning Commission meeting.
All vote yes.
• OAK CLIFF - YffiCLER DEVELOPMENT - PRELIMINARY PLAY
The hearing regarding the application of Richard Winkler and Winkler
Development Company for preliminary plat approval of Oak Cliff was convened by
Chairman Chuck Hall. Dale Runkle, City Planner, explained that the develop-
ment would consist of 33 acres and contain 75 single family lots and nine twin
home lots with 18 dwelling units on the west side of Slater's Road in Winkler
Jackson Planned Development. The Guide Plan provides for R -II with a density
of 3 to 6 units per acre and the proposed gross density will be 2.9 dwelling
units per acre. The developer has the discretion to develop at a lower
density and it was noted that in 1983 a preliminary plat application was
submitted proposing to shift the balance of the density to Outlet A for a
garden apartment condominium project. That application has been withdrawn.
An additional 34 townhouse units are proposed to be constructed north of the
existing plat and also that Outlet A remain as a 102 to 104 dwelling unit
garden apartment area. All single family lots would be over the minimum
12,000 square feet and all would conform with the intent to retain as many
trees and the natural topography as possible. Ralph Wagner and Richard
Winkler were present and Mr. Winkler briefly discussed the project.. There
were no comments from the audience. The cul-de-sac was an issue and the staff
recommended that it be extended northerly through the single family and town-
house area. The developer was concerned about the unnecessary cutting of
trees and also stated that steep terrain is involved. Chairman Hall objected
to the City making a decision concerning whether to eliminate a cul-de-sac and
that the City should not be imposing its will on developers where there are
• adequate reasons to allow cul-de-sacs. Rich Hefti discussed the public safety
issues and the need for direct access where, in this case, only one access
would be provided from the townhouse development to Slater's Road.
3 S r
APC Minutes
February 28, 1984
There was discussion concerning possibly widening the access road into
the townhouse area which would make it more desirable with e.g. a 32 foot
improved roadway. Member Wilkins had questions about the buffer along the
west line and Mr. Winkler stated that a neighborhood meeting had been held and
there is not intended to be any disturbance along the back lot lines of the
westerly lying lots. Modification of the planned development agreement should
be a requirement immediately after the approval of the plat to provide for a
reduction in density. Wilkins moved, McCrea seconded the motion to recommend
approval of the application subject to the following conditions:
1. The total density in the planned development shall be reduced by 61
dwelling units for the Outlot B portion or the area west of Slater's Road.
The new density number for this area west of Slater's Road should be 231
dwelling units total as opposed to the 56.56 acres by 5.5 dwelling units per
acre. Further, 6 single family lots will be authorized on Jones Street East
of Slater's Road.
2. All lots being platted shall meet the minimum R-1 and R-2 zoning
standards.
3. The 50 townhouse units proposed on the north shall be approved in •
concept only and a detailed review will be done at the time this area is
platted.
4. The applicant shall meet all other obligations of the Winkler
Jackson Planned Development in regard to dedication of parkland and the
grading or escrowing money for grading of the parkland to a suitable condi-
tion.
5. A homeowner's association or common maintenance agreement shall be
required for the 8 twinhome lots.
6. All other City Code requirements shall be adhered to.
7. A detailed grading and erosion control plan shall be required to be
submitted for approval by staff.
8. Overflow outlets shall be provided from the two proposed detention
ponds into Pond AP -10.
9. There shall be no dead-end water mains unless they will provide
future service to adjacent property.
10. Future development of the townhouse development on the North
on new Outlot B will provide for a 32 foot wide improved private street
constructed to City standards. •

The hearing regarding the a kation of Northland Mortgage Company for
preliminary plat approval of Lex ton Square, consisting of 132.11 acres with
373 single family lots propos d, lus an additional 3 lots, most of which •
would deviate from the R-1 zo ing st ndards. The location of the property is
in the northwest quarter of/Section 3, south of Wescott Road, and at the
southeast intersection of escott Ro d and Lexington Avenue. Mr. Runkle
stated the parcel is zone R-2, Mixed Residential, and that the zoning was
changed from R-3 to R-2 1 February of 1984. The Land Use Guide designates it
as R -II. The plan con ins 2.82 dwelling units per gross acre and 3.72
dwelling units per net ere. The smallest proposed lot would be 7,000 square
feet with an average t size of 11,707 square feet. 25 lots meet the R-1
square footage requir ent and lot width requirement and 30 foot setback with
350 single family to which would deviate most�in lot width and slightly in
lot area from the -1 zoning standards. Garrett Mulrooney stated that he
would not particip to in discussion and would abstain from voting because his
law firm represe is Northland Mortgage from time\to time. Two exceptions
within the plat, one at the northwest corner, which had been purchased by a
church, and on at the center of the proposed plat, were discussed. Wayne
To of Subur an Engineering and also several representatives of the appli-
cant were Dre ent.
Mr. To er stated that with slight revisions, all lots wo d be 75 feet or
greater a the setback line, and that the 7,000 square foo lot would be
upgraded about 9,000 square feet, with the next smallest being pproximate-
ly 8,70 square feet under the proposed revisions. 101 lots wou d be above
the 1 ,000 square foot minimum standard. The planned development lows for

EXISTING ZONING: R-1 (RESIDENTIAL SINGLE DISTRICT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: FEBRUARY 28, 1984
DATE OF REPORT: FEBRUARY 23, 1984
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted request-
ing preliminary plat approval, Rose Hill Addition, consisting of
approximately 12.4 acres and containing 14 single family lots lo-
cated on Lots 1-4, Jon Croft Acres and Lot 1, Block 1, Blackhawk
Hills Addition in Sections 16 and 17.
COMMENTS
Presently, Mrs. Kyllo lives on the property where proposed Lot 3
of the Rose Hill Addition is located. It is staff's understanding
that Mrs. Kyllo can no longer maintain the property and wishes to
subdivide the property into single family lots.
The application submitted consists of a preliminary plat which would
contain 14 single family lots. Access to 13 of the lots would be
off of Kyllo Lane via a cul-de-sac constructed on the existing drive-
way. This cul-de-sac would be upgraded to a fullsize City street
and meet all the standards of City street requirements. There is
one lot which is accessible from Blackhawk Hills Circle. The only
issue which may come into effect is that the street or grade is
steep, and it is staff's understanding that the street will be ap-
proximately 88 or less therefore meeting all of the requirements.
All lots exceed the R-1 zoning requirements. They run approximate-
ly 1/2 acre or larger. There are only four that are under the half
acre lot size in the proposed plat.
The applicant is also proposing to plat Lot 9 of Rose Hill Addition
because it is property that he does own and did acquire when Black -
hawk Hills Addition was constructed. He acquired Lot 9 to make sure
he was able to get sanitary sewer from Blackhawk Hills Addition to
this particular development. Therefore, he is requesting to plat
Lot 9 also in regard to this development request. It is staff's
• understanding that there is a covenant in Blackhawk Hills Addition
that all lots must meet 1 acre lot size requirement. The applicant
RE

has replatted Lot 9 even though it is an odd shaped configuration of
a parcel, but nevertheless does meet or exceed the 1 -acre lot size
requirement.
In looking at the plat, there are a number of 40' wide strips which
abut the southerly line of the plat. These 40' strips are platted
in order to give different lots access to Blackhawk Lake. That is
the reason for the platting of this configuration.
If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the follow-
ing conditions:
1) The grade of Knoll Ridge Drive should be within City standards.
2) All other City ordinances shall be met.

ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS
3) A detailed grading and erosion control plan shall be submit-
ted for approval. •
4) The water main shall be looped from Kyllo Lane to Blackhawk
Cove.
5) If installed privately, plans and specifications for utility
installation shall be in accordance with the City's Engineer-
ing Guidelines and prepared by a registered engineer.
6) A ponding easement shall be required to incorporate the high
water elevation of Blackhawk Lake over Lots 1-9.
7) All easements shall be dedicated as required by staff in the
Engineering Report.
8) This development shall be responsible for the deferred storm
sewer assessments as mentioned in the Engineering Report.
9) This proposed development shall be responsible for trunk area
water main and sanitary sewer assessments as a result of cre-
ating 10 additional lots with respect to the original parcel.
10) All costs associated with the installation of public improve-
ments for this development shall be the sole responsibility

• MEMO TO: THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE,
CITY PLANNER
FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
DATE: FEBRUARY 22, 1984
SUBJECT: ROSE HILL ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department has the
following comments in regard to this proposed development for con-
sideration by the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council.
GRADING/TOPOGRAPHY
This site borders Blackhawk Lake on the south and Blackhawk Hills
Addition on the east, and subsequently, is situated over some of
the more rugged terrain in Eagan. The entire site slopes steeply
towards the south and Blackhawk Lake. Slopes over this parcel
range from 108-308. An elevation difference of approximately 90
feet exists from Kyllo Lane to the normal water level of Blackhawk
Lake. In addition to the rugged terrain, much of this site is
covered by evergreen and hardwood trees.
In grading the lots to provide for buildable sites, several back-
yard slopes will approach 2:1. Since these slopes are the maximum
• allowed by code, staff will recommend strict adherence to an approv-
ed erosion control plan submitted as a condition of final plat ap-
proval. This plan should also incorporate methods of anchoring
vegetative material to prevent washouts prior to the vegetative
materials' growth. Examples of stabilizing these slopes would be
staking and sodding, placing erosion mats such as plastic netting
or wood fiber blankets over seed and mulch or other acceptable
methods of slope stabilization.
Meanwhile, all drainage over this proposed development will remain
towards Blackhawk Lake. Street drainage will be directed to an in-
ternal storm sewer which will be discharged into Blackhawk Lake.
Although Blackhawk Lake is DNR controlled, no permits will be re-
quired as long as the storm sewer outlet is above the normal ordi-
nary high water elevation.
UTILITIES
Utilities of sufficient size, capacity and depth exist within the
proximity of this proposed development to provide service to it as
shown on Figure 2. This development has access to an 18" trunk
water main to the north located within Kyllo Lane and a 6" water
main located within Blackhawk Cove. Access to sanitary sewer will
be provided from the existing manhole located within Blackhawk Cove.
This entire area will have to be served by the existing lift sta-
tion in Blackhawk Cove which pumps waste water to the northeast
along Blackhawk Cove to where it discharges to a gravity sanitary
sewer line. This existing sanitary sewer lift station is capable
W
ENGINEERING REPORT
ROSE HILL ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT •
FEBRUARY 22, 1984

of directing the additional flow from this proposed development to
the gravity sewer within Blackhawk Cove.
Staff recommends the water main be looped from the existing trunk
water main within Kyllo Lane to the existing 6" water main within
Blackhawk Cove as proposed by this development.
If installed privately, plans and specifications for utility in-
stallation shall be in accordance with the City's Engineering Guide-
lines and prepared by a registered engineer. No construction may
begin until final plat approval.
STREETS
An existing street providing access to this parcel is the intersec-
tion of Kyllo Lane and Knoll Ridge Drive. Both -streets are under
the jurisdiction of the City and are built to their ultimate design
section of 32' wide bituminous surfaced with concrete curb and gut-
ter.
The access to the interior of this development would be obtained by
extending Knoll Ridge Drive to the south and terminating it by way
of a cul-de-sac. The length of this cul-de-sac is approximately •
540 feet which is just under the allowable 550 -foot length as de-
termined by code. The street would be constructed to City standards.
If this street is to be installed privately, then plans and specifi-
cations shall be prepared by a registered engineer in accordance with
the City's guidelines and submitted to the Engineering Department
for approval.
RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS
The 50' right-of-way being proposed for the public street will be
adequate as long as this development adheres to its proposed grad-
ing plan. For a 50' publicly -dedicated right-of-way to be feasible
within this rugged topography, it is essential the 10' utility ease-
ments adjacent the right-of-way be graded and cleared of trees as
proposed in the preliminary grading plan. The reason for this is
to provide adequate room for utilities such as gas, electric, tele-
phone and cable television.
In addition to typical dedicated easements along the platted right-
of-way and all lot lines, right-of-ways of sufficient width will be
required over all utility lines not located within public right-of-
way. Staff recommends a minimum of a 15' wide easement over all
utility lines except where they are combined as the water and sani-
tary sewer cross the southern boundary of Lot 9. In this instance,
staff recommends a 30' easement be dedicated. •

In addition to the utility easements, a ponding easement will be
required to incorporate the high water elevation of Blackhawk Lake
as it affects Lots 1-9.
ASSESSMENTS
The assessments which will be required to be collected at the time
of final plat approval include storm sewer trunk assessments which
were deferred over Parcels 011-00,020-00, 030-00 and 640-00. These
are summarized in the following table:
DEFERRED ASSESSMENT SUMMARY TABLE
PARCEL # ASSESSMENT AMOUNT
10-18600-011-00 Trunk storm sewer area $2,339.37
020-00 1,525.92
030-00 964.92
040-00 605.88
is In addition, Lots 1-4 of Jon Croft Acres were initially assessed on
a per lot basis for trunk area sanitary sewer and water main. City
assessment policy requires that each subsequent subdivision result-
ing in an additional lot be required to pay a per lot assessment for
trunk area water main and sanitary sewer. Therefore, since this pro-
posed development consists of 14 lots, the trunk area sewer and wa-
ter assessment shall be levied over 10 lots (14 minus 4). These
assessments shall be determined at the rate in effect at the time
of final plat approval. Presently, the 1984 rater& on a per lot ba-
sis for these trunk area assessments are $535.00or both trunk san-
itary sewer and trunk water main. .The above referenced assessments
will:be the responsibility of this proposed development and may be
either paid at the time of final platting or spread as a special
assessment over this development. Nonetheless, all costs required
for installation of public improvements for this proposed develop-
ment shall be the sole responsibility of this proposed development.
I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report in detail
with the Planning Commission at the February 28, 1984 meeting.

ROSE HILL ADDITION - PRELnQNARY PLAT
The hearing regarding the application of Howard Kyllo for preliminary
plat approval of Rose Hill Addition consisting of 12.4 acres and containing 14
single family lots located on Lots 1 through 4, John Croft Acres and Lot 1,
Block 1, Blackhawk Hills Addition was next convened. Dale Runkle presented
the proposal to the Planning Commission members, including the replat of Lot
• 1, Block 1, Blackhawk Hills Addition, which had been purchased by Mr. Kyllo.
He noted that the topography of the lots is in excess of the R-1 standards in
some cases. James Hill and Howard Kyllo were present and several neighboring
owners also were present. A neighborhood meeting.had been held and those
neighbors present had no objections, although one was concerned about poten-
tial loss of trees. George Bohlig of Blackhawk Hills Addition questioned
about storm sewer capacity and staff indicated it was adequately sized. Mr.
Bohlig also had a concern about retaining the covenant of the Blackhawk Hills
Addition lot and Mr. Kyllo stated there would be no change. Member Merkley
questioned the steepness of the street grade and it was noted that there
appeared to be no alternate to the steep grade of 8% or less. Wold moved,

LEXINGTON SQUARE - PRRLDUBARY PLAT
The h ing regarding the application of Northland Mor a Company for
preliminary p t approval of Lexington Square, consisting of 32.11 acres with
373 single farm lots proposed, plus an additional 3 ts, most of which
would deviate from he R-1 zoning standards. The loca on of the property is
in the northwest qua ter of Section 23, south of Scott Road, and at the
southeast intersectio\Fruary
tt Road and Le ngton Avenue. Mr. Runkle
stated the parcel is zixed Reside al, and that the zoning was
changed from R-3 to R-2 of 1984. he Land Use Guide designates it
as R -II. The plan co2 dwell g units per gross acre and 3.72
dwelling units per netsmall t proposed lot would be 7,000 square
feet with an average lot size of
square footage requirement and lot
350 single family lots which wo
square feet. 25 lots meet the R-1
requirement and 30 foot setback with
,e most in lot width and slightly in
lot area from th/zon g tandards Garrett Mulrooney stated that he
would not particission and wo d abstain from voting because his
law firm represend Mortgage fr timetotime. Two exceptions
within the plat, orthwest corner, which had been purchased by a
church, and one r of the proposed at, were discussed. Wayne
Tower of Suburban and also several re resentatives of the appli-
cant were present
Mr. Tower stated that with slight revisions, all 1 is would be 75 feet or
greater at a setback line, and that the 7,000 square,foot lot would be
upgraded t about 9,000 square feet, with the next smalles being approximate-
ly 8,700 quare feet under the proposed revisions. 101 to s would be above
the 12, 0 square foot minimum standard. The planned develo went allows for
528 to for the site. The neighborhood collector for Northview Park Road was
discussed in detail, which would allow lots to front on the road. He stated
that the applicant's opinion is that the road will not generate substantial
amounts of traffic.

PRELIMINARY PLAT/LEXINGTON SQUARE
C. Ronald C. Helmer, Northland Mortgage Company, for Preliminary
Plat, Lexington Square, Consisting of Approximately 132 Acres
and Containing 369 Single Family Lots -- A public hearing was
held by the Advisory Planning Commission at their last regular
meeting held on February 28, 1984, to consider an application
submitted by Northland Mortgage Company for a preliminary plat
entitled Lexington Square, consisting of approximately 132.11
acres that contains 372 single family lots that deviate from
the R-1 zoning standards. The Advisory Planning Commission
is recommending qpZ oval of this item to the City Council.
The Advisory Planning Commission spent considerable time and
the issues that were reviewed by the APC are best summarized
by the City Planner in the APC Afternoon After. The following
is an excerpt of that report:
Discussion and Action
• The Advisory Planning Commission reviewed the preliminary plat,
Lexington Square, noting that the agenda had advertised the
development consisting of 369 single family units. This should
be amended to allow 373 dwelling units.
In review of the staff report, the Advisory Planning Commission
went through a great deal of time and effort to review this pre-
liminary plat. As stated, it consists of 132 acres which is a
very large single family plat and would contain 373 single family .
lots which would be phased over the next few years. The first
item reviewed by the Planning Commission was access to Lexington
Square preliminary plat. In this review, it was noted that Lex-
ington Avenue and Wescott Road are collector streets where limited
access is allowed. In reviewing Northview Park Road according to
the Transportation Plan, it also appeared that this would be pro-
posed as a Neighborhood Collector -Community Collector and have
limited access. In a detailed review of trip generation for North -
view Park Road, it was determined that the road could be construct-
ed as a collector but given the definition of Neighborhood Collect-
or where direct access could be allowed. Therefore, the Advisory
Planning Commission is reviewing a policy change for interior col-
lector streets where direct access now could be allowed vs. in the
past, in construction of such roads as Wilderness Run Road, Thomas
Lake Road and Covington Lane. Therefore, the Planning Commission
is stating that this interior collector will now be allowed to have
direct access and serve a function as a neighborhood street along
• with a neighborhood collector street.

Agenda Information Packet
March 22, 1984 City Council Meeting
Page Twenty-one
The Planning Commission also noted that the proposed application is •
for single family development which deviates from the R-1 zoning
standards. The Commission noted that the smallest lot originally
proposed contained 7,000 square feet. The applicants indicated that
this will be increased to 8,700 square ft., and the overall average
for the plat would be 11,707 square feet. In review of this plat,
the Planning Commission noted that 300 lots would be the approximate
size of the lots in Cedar Grove. They had noted also that original-
ly smaller lots were proposed at 60 ft. in other areas and now they
have increased to 75 ft., and felt 75 ft. would be a good workable
lot width for this development proposal. They also noted that the
topography and terrain is very level and untreed which would also
substantiate the type of development being requested. The Planning
Commission was concerned regarding the backyards abutting Wescott
Road and noted that the elevation differences would not substanti-
ate berms, however, was suggesting landscaping be done. In turn,
they had reviewed this aspect of landscaping and noted that when
Wescott Road is upgraded, it would become an urban section of roadway
and therefore more easily landscaped and maintainable by the resi-
dential lot owner. With a lot of discussion, they moved away from
an overall landscape plan requesting landscaping along the Wescott
and Lexington Avenue corridors. The Planning Commission also re-
viewed the lot size and the price of the development. It was noted
that the price range for the single family lot and home would be
approximately $85,000-595,000 and it would be a very nice develop-
ment.
The last issue the Commission discussed was in regard to drainage
and they noted that all of the drainage could not go north, how-
ever, a majority could. They also requested that a certain amount
be allowed to go southerly. With these concerns and reviews, the
Planning Commission recommended approval of the preliminary plat
subject to the conditions in the staff report with the exceptions
and modifications of Condition No. 4 which should read that, "lot
size deviations be approved in accordance with the preliminary
plat submitted. The proposed minimum lot size shall be 8,700 so.
ft. and that the developer establish an architectural review board
to review the homes being constructed on the individual lots." No.
5 be modified to read that, "an additional access be provided to
the east by extending Kettle Creek Court to Kettle Creek Drive
stubbing at the easterly property line." No. 8 be modified to
state instead of "all drainage over this proposed development shall
be directed to the north," that "Lots 24-34, Block 9, and Lots 20-
38, Block 12, be allowed to drain southerly." Condition No. 11
in the Engineering Report was eliminated and a new condition add-
ed at the end stated that, "the developer reduce the total number
of dwelling units in the Planned development so as to only allow
373 dwelling units on this parcel and that there be no credit for
dwelling units of this parcel to any other portion of the planned
development.

CITY OF EAGAN
SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT - LEXINGTON SQUARE
APPLICANT: RONALD C. HELMER, NORTHLAND MORTGAGE CO.
LOCATION: PART OF THE NA OF SECTION 23
EXISTING ZONING: PD (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT UNDER THE LEXINGTON
SOUTH PLANNED DEVELOPMENT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: FEBRUARY 28, 1984
DATE OF REPORT: FEBRUARY 22, 1984
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted request-
ing a preliminary plat, Lexington Square, which consists of approx-
imately 132.11 acres and would contain 372 single family lots which
deviate from the R-1 zoning standards located in part of the NW; of
Section 23 south of Wescott Road, east of Lexington Avenue (County
Road 43) and north of Northview Park Road.
• ZONING AND LAND USE: Presently, the parcel is zoned R -II (Mixed
Residential) with a density of 3-6 dwelling units per acre under
the Lexington South Planned Development. This parcel was amended
for a change from R -III (Mixed Residential with a density of 6-12
dwelling units per acre) to R -II (Mixed Residential with a density
of 3-6 dwelling units per acre)in February, 1984. The proposed Land
Use Guide also designates this parcel as R -II (Mixed Residential
with a density of 3-6 dwelling units per acre).
The proposed plan contains 2.82 dwelling units per gross acre and
3.72 dwelling units per net acre. Therefore, the proposed plan is
consistent with the low range of both the existing zoning and the
proposed Land Use Guide Plan.
COMMENTS
The application submitted is a preliminary plat of 372 single fami-
ly lots. The proposed single family lots deviate from the R-1 zon-
ing standards. The smallest lot size proposed is 7,000 square feet
and the average lot size is 11,707 square feet. There are 25 lots
which meet both the R-1 square footage requirement and lot width
requirement at the 30' setback line. Therefore, there are approxi-
mately 350 single family lots which deviate mostly in lot width and
slightly in lot area from the R-1 zoning standards.
• TRAFFIC CIRCULATION
As stated earlier, the plat abuts Lexington Avenue on the west and
Wescott Road on the north. Both roads are major collector streets
and would allow limited access to this development. The proposed
-77
CITY OF EAGAN
PRELIMINARY PLAT - LEXINGTON SQUARE •
FEBRUARY 28, 1984
PAGE TWO
plat contains a curvilineal design where lots have double frontage
on Lexington Avenue and Wescott Road. The Northview Park Road on
the south was originally proposed to also have double frontage or
limited access. However, due to definition, it is suggested that
Northview Park Road be a neighborhood collector street which would
allow direct access to this particular road. In review of the Sub-
division Ordinance, this road then could have a proposed right-of-
way of 66 feet vs. the 80 feet being dedicated.
Also, in review of the definition of roads in the plat, Savannah
Road could also be reduced from a 60' right-of-way to a 50' right-
of-way which would define a local interior street. The applicant
is proposing two access points off Lexington Avenue and one access
point off Wescott Road. The internal circulation is a curvilineal
design that loopsand 6 cul-de-sacs to provide access to the 132
acres. The applicant is also providing two stub streets to the
east. Staff may suggest that an additional stub street be provid-
ed south of Kettle Creek Court for development opportunities for
the property to the east.
The one item staff would like to point out at this time is again
in regard to Northview Park Road. In the past, the City has been
requiring that an 80' right-of-way be dedicated and limited access •
to this road be the standard for the community or interior collect-
or. This road would provide the same function as Wilderness Run
Road, Covington Lane, and Thomas Lake Road which have all been con-
structed to these standards with limited or restricted access. This
Northview Park Road provides the same spacing requirement as in the
past, however, we are now indicating that this road be defined as a
neighborhood collector and would allow direct access to this type
of roadway. The benefit in allowing direct access to this neighbor-
hood collector is that it eliminates approximately 30 lots from hav-
ing double frontage or constructing a road which cannot be used by
a particular subdivision. Therefore, a policy question is being
reviewed and looked at, and it is suggested that the half mile, or
interior collector streets, be labeled or defined as neighborhood
and would allow direct access to these collector streets. Also, ac-
cording to Chapter 13 of the Eagan City Code, a neighborhood collect-
or would only then require a 66 -foot right-of-way dedication vs. the
80 feet which is being proposed.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
In this proposed plat, there were two exceptions. The first excep-
tion was in the approximate center of the development proposal.
This exception has now been changed to an outlot, or labeled Outlot
A in the plat. The applicant has worked with the property owner of
Outlot A and has determined how Outlot A could be developed in the •
future in accordance with this development plan. As you can see, a
sketched in area as to how Outlot A could be subdivided has been
shown to maximize the use and conform with the surrounding develop-
ment.

The second issue is in regard to the exception in the northwest cor-
ner of the plat. It is staff's understanding that this exception
has been sold to a church and would develop at a later date. At the
present time, the zoning or use has not been approved by the City,
but the acreage has been sold to the church prior to platting the
property. Secondly, is if and when the church does propose devel-
opment, we will seeing direct access from Lexington Avenue and Wes-
cott Road to this facility. Therefore, the use would be isolated
from this particular development.
In review of the topography and vegetation, the area has a fairly
flat or barely rolling topography which would allow for the smaller
lot configuration. Also, the vegetation on the site is farmland
. which has been farmed, and that vegetation or trees are scarce
or scattered slightly throughout the development. Therefore, topog-
raphy and vegetation would not be a hindrance to this type of devel-
opment request.
In regard to this proposed plat, the Planning Commission will have
to review this plat in regard to the criteria set up for reviewing
the smaller lots or lots which deviate from the R-1 standards in
• regard to topography and vegetation, general location and surround-
ing land uses, and the proposed grading plan showing the type of
unit and unit elevation on each of the lots noting that each lot
will support a dwelling unit. It should be noted that if this plan
is accepted, that this grading and house -type plan will be part of
the development contract and held to in regard to type of house on
the lots proposed.
If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following
conditions:
1) The plat should be subject to Dakota County Plat Commission's
review and comment because the plat abuts a County road.
2) No variances for setback or lot coverage shall be allowed ex-
cept for topographic and vegetation reasons.
3) The City approve the policy on neighborhood collector streets.
4) Lot size deviations be approved in accordance with the prelim-
inary plat submitted. The proposed building plans meet all
of the setback requirements of the R-1 zoning district.
5) An additional access be provided to the east somewhere south
of Kettle Creek Court or extend Kettle Creek Court east for
an additional access.
• 6) All other City Code requirements shall be adhered to.

• MEMO TO: THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE,
CITY PLANNER
FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
DATE: FEBRUARY 23, 1984
SUBJECT: LEXINGTON SQUARE ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Engineering Division of the Department of Public works has the
following comments regarding this proposed development for consid-
eration by the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council.
TOPOGRAPHY/DRAINAGE
This proposed development is located east of Lexington Avenue and
south of Wescott Road in Section 23. The existing topography con-
sists of rolling farmland. The slopes over this topography range
from 28 to 408. Subsequently, grading affecting any of the steep
slopes must strictly adhere to a grading and erosion control plan
submitted to and approved by staff. This proposed development is
located within Drainage District J which is further subdivided in-
to minor drainage districts as depicted in Figure 1. Drainage from
approximately the northern 2/3 of this proposed development is to
be directed into trunk storm sewer which eventually outlets into
• Pond JP -11 (Hurley Lake). A positive outlet control is presently
being constructed for -this pond. Since no trunk storm sewer fac-
ilities exist within this proposed development, it will be neces-
sary to construct the necessary trunk lines east from Lexington
Avenue to Pond JP -30 which is located within the northeast portion
of this proposed development.
According to the Storm Sewer Master Plan, approximately the southern
1/3 of this proposed development is to be drained to the south. How-
ever, this proposes a problem since the pond which is to accommodate
this runoff is located within the City park as Pond JP -34. This pond
presently has no positive outlet and floods during heavy rainfalls.
Therefore, staff does not recommend adding any additional runoff from
future developed areas to this pond until an outlet for this pond is
constructed. At this time, there are no plans for such construction.
Subsequently, in order to develop phase two and three of this propos-
ed development, the drainage water will have to be redirected to the
north and to Pond JP -30, if this development wishes to pursue its
aggresive development schedule. Other than possibly adjusting the
outflow from Pond JP -30, this redirection of runoff will not cause
any downstream problems since JP -11 is its ultimate designation.
UTILITIES
At this time, the only utility existing in proximity of this pro-
posed development is a 12" trunk water main at the intersection of
Wescott Road and Lexington Avenue. However, Project 361 has been
approved and bids will soon be accepted for construction of a trunk
rRzt..

sanitary sewer to the west line of the Westbury Addition, west of
Lexington Avenue. Project 396 has been approved and plans and spec-
ifications are being prepared for bidding purposes to extend this
sanitary sewer trunk line to Lexington Avenue to provide service to
this proposed development. In addition, Project 396 also provides
for trunk storm sewer from JP -11 (Hurley Lake) to Lexington Avenue
to provide for trunk storm sewer facilities for this proposed de-
velopment.
All internal utilities, with the exception of City -installed trunk
water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer, will be the sole responsi-
bility of this development. If these utilities are to be install-
ed privately, then plans and specifications must be prepared by a
registered engineer in accordance with City design guidelines
and submitted to staff for approval. As per City policy, all
interior water mains shall be looped. No dead-end water mains will
be allowed unless they will be utilized for future extensions.'
STREETS
Wescott Road borders this proposed development along the north, •
Northview Park Road borders the westerly half of this proposed de-
velopment along the south, and Lexington Avenue borders this�pro-
posed development along the west. Wescott Road is presently 'a
gravel surfaced road 24' wide. In the City's Master Thoroughfare
Plan, Wescott Road is designated to be a minor arterial road, 52'
wide with no direct access. Northview Park Road is designated on
the Master Thoroughfare Plan as a neighborhood collector road.
Presently, it is gravel road with a thin layer of seal coat over
it. As a neighborhood collector street, Northview Park Road will
be 44' wide.
Staff recommends revising the internal street layout to eliminate
the Danbury Court cul-de-sac and extend it through to Stony Point
Road. Similarly, the Kettle Creek Court cul-de-sac should be elim-
inated and extended to the east property line to provide the access
point requested by the City Planner in his report. The remaining
cul-de-sacs appear to be necessary evils since they are not as read-
ily adaptable into through streets as the two previously mentioned
cul-de-sacs were.
All interior streets shall be constructed to City standards
for a 32' wide residential street. Due to the status of Wescott
Road and Northview Park Road as minor arterial and neighborhood
community streets respectively, City policy will require this
development to be responsible for construction of both trailways. •
The bituminous pathway required -for Lexington. Avenue is the
responsibility of the development to the west, Westbury Addition.
Also, a 5' concrete sidewalk along the east side of Lexington
Avenue will be the responsibility of this development.

RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS
A 50' half public right-of-way will be required to be dedicated for
Wescott Road. A 55' half right-of-way will be required to be dedi-
cated for Lexington Avenue. A 35' half right-of-way will be reaui'r-
ed to be platted for Northview Park Road. Savannah Road and Danbury
Trail shall have 60' platted right-of-ways while the remaining
streets shall have 50' platted right-of-ways. In addition to the
regular 10' utility easements adjacent public right-of-way and the
5' drainage and utility easements adjacent all lot lines, a ponding
and utility easement will be required over Pond JP -30 to incorporate
the high water elevation. Also, 20' utility easements will be re-
quired over all utility lines not within public right-of-way.
Furthermore, a 25' slope easement will be required adjacent Lexing-
ton Avenue to incorporate any future grading limits required as a
result of the upgrading of Lexington Avenue. Finally, a 15' trail -
way easement shall be provided within the 50' NSP easement along
the east boundary of this proposed development.
ASSESSMENTS
IS No trunk area assessments have been levied on this parcel as of yet.
Subsequently, unless a pending assessment is initiated by Council
action in approving a project to provide this proposed development
with trunk utilities prior to or at the time of final platting, then
it shall be this development's responsibility to pay those trunk re-
lated assessments. Likewise, if the improvements of Northview Park
Road and trail are not initiated by Council action prior to final
platting, then this development shall be responsibility for those
assessments. Nevertheless, this development shall be responsible
for the assessments for the trail along Wescott Road at the time of
final platting. All assessments shall be determined at the rate in
effect at the time of final plat approval.
The costs of all public improvements, with the exception of trunk
related improvements, shall be the sole responsibility of this de-
velopment. The costs for improving Wescott Road will be the re-
sponsibility of the major street fund for the reason that City assess-
ment policy does not allow for assessing single family residential
areas for streets on which no direct access is granted.
I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report in detail
with the Advisory Planning Commission at their meeting of February
28, 1984.

The hearing regarding the application of Northland Mortgage Company for
• preliminary plat approval of Lexington Square, consisting of 132.11 acres with
373 single family lots proposed, plus an additional 3 lots, most of which
would deviate from the R-1 zoning standards. The location of the property is
in the northwest quarter of Section 23, south of Wescott Road, and at'the
southeast intersection of Wescott Road and Lexington Avenue. Mr. Runkle
stated the parcel is zoned R-2, Mixed Residential, and that the zoning was
changed from R-3 to R-2 in February of 1984. The Land Use Guide designates it
as R -II. The plan contains 2.82 dwelling units per gross acre and 3.72
dwelling units per net acre. The smallest proposed lot would be 7,000 square
feet with an average lot size of 11,707 square feet. 25 lots meet the R-1
square footage requirement and lot width requirement and 30 foot setback with
350 single family lots which would deviate most in lot width and slightly in
lot area from the R-1 zoning standards. Garrett Mulrooney stated that he
would not participate in discussion and would abstain from voting because his
law firm represents Northland Mortgage from time to time. Two exceptions
within the plat, one at the northwest corner, which had been purchased by a
church, and one at the center of the proposed plat, were discussed. Wayne
Tower of Suburban Engineering and also several representatives of the appli-
cant were present.
Mr. Tower stated that with slight revisions, all lots would be 75 feet or
greater at the setback line, and that the 7,000 square foot lot would be
upgraded to about 9,000 square feet, with the next smallest being approximate-
ly 8,700 square feet under the proposed revisions. 101 lots would be above
the 12,000 square foot minimum standard. The planned development allows for
528 lots for the site. The neighborhood collector for Northview Park Road was
• discussed in detail, which would allow lots to front on the road. He stated
that the applicant's opinion is that the road will not generate substantial
amounts of traffic.

Kettle Creek was recommended to provide access to the east, rather than
to be cul-de-saced and the developer agreed. The developer, however, opposes
connecting Danbury Court as a through street because of the loss of lots and
extra street costs. There was discussion concerning a recommendation that all
drainage be designed to flow to the north, whereas the applicant requested
that the very south tier of lots provide for drainage to the south.
Marge Tilley, an owner on Wescott Road, was present and was concerned
about whether the existing ponds would be retained. Mr. Tower stated the
major pond to the east would remain but the other small ponds would not.
There would be only one access from the development to Wescott Road under the
proposal. Three bike paths are being proposed, including an 8 foot path on
Wescott Road, concrete sidewalk along Northview and blacktop sidewalk along
Northview Park Road, with an easement along the east line. Dale LaRue of
Lexington and Wescott Road was present and recommended some berming, particu-
larly along Wescott Road. The proposed price of the homes is $85,000.00 to
$95,000.00 per unit, and the phasing will begin in 1984. Jim Curry also was
present and stated that the owner of Outlot A favors the proposal and may
subdivide that exception in the near future. There were concerns about dust
along Wescott Road and also timing of the utilities for the land to the north
of Wescott Road. Jim Williams, a neighbor, was present and was concerned
about the dangerous intersection of Wescott and Lexington and also expressed
• concerns about two-thirds of the lot being below the normal lot size require-
ments.
Chairman Hall stated that he owns the land directly to the east and was
concerned about the connection with that, including the Northview Park Road,
which he favored as a neighborhood collector, but would object to a major
collector being located on his property exclusively. Member McCrea asked
whether the developer would provide berms, after which there was considerable
discussion and some opposition from the developer, indicating that they do
block drainage and the developer preferred not to be required to install them.
Ron Helmer of Northview Mortgage stated that he felt berming along Wescott
Road would not be practical because the land on the south side is lower than
the road. Member Wilkins was also concerned about the inventory of small lots
and Mr. Runkle stated that a 75 foot lot now appears to be a reasonable
compromise and also is in demand by builders. Member Wold had concerns about
the number of small lots approved and whether Eagan is getting an excessive
number in relation to other communities. Mr. Runkle stated that 50% of the
residential lots being single family is the objective of the City and also
noted that the parcel is fairly flat and conducive to small lots, whereas only
a limited number of parcels in the City remain with that terrain. Member Wold
also recommended architectural controls for the smaller lot area and suggested
a review board. Staff members indicated they had no objection to direct
access to Northview Park Road. Member Hall questioned whether the City should
be removing its requirement of the -north -south street along the east line and
stated that this had been in the plan for many years. He also indicated that
possibly Northview Park Road will not go straight east to Elrene Road extended
• because of ponds that would obstruct its location. He also objected to lack
of traffic planning by the staff covering the land to the east and felt that
certain streets within the City have been overbuilt.

Mr. Runkle re ie ed briefly with the Planning Commi sion members the
proposed Shoreland Or inance that has been drafted by the sta f in conjunction
with the Departure of Natural Resources. Mr. Runkle s ted that many
meetings have been held with DNR Representatives over the past two years, but
that very few la es within the City would be affected. The D R format was
generally follo ed and It is expected that the DNR will appr ve the draft
ordinance. Th was discussion concerning Section 77.07, Subdi sion 2, on
page 16 as to he t'
the applications should be submitted to the prior to
the Plannin Commission approval, rather than only 10 days pri to City
Council app oval. Further review will take place on that issue a d it was
also noted hat existing planned developments will not be altered by the
proposed o inance provisions. The Planning Commission designated the regular
March 27, 1984 meeting of the Advisory Planning Commission, as the public
hearing night at 7:00 p.m. at the City Hall on the Shoreland Ordinance.

MEMO T0:—TOM-HEDGES,-CITY_ADMINISTRATQR3
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
RE: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION ACTION
LEXINGTON SQUARE
At the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission meeting of March 1, 1984, the
Commission reviewed the proposed Lexington Square Development proposed by North-
land Mortgage Company. In reviewing the proposed development, it was noted that
Lexington Square is part of the Lexington South PUD. Inasmuch as agreement has
been reached in regard to the dedication of parkland within Lexington South, no
condition was applied to this plat for land dedication or incremental units of
park land which would normally be received with this plat.
In the overall review of Lexington Square, the Advisory Commission discussed a
numberof concerns relative to the development and Northview Athletic Fields.
These concerns were relative to traffic, parking, drainage and proximity of
homes facing Northview Park. After discussion by the Commission of these
issues, the following recommendation to the City Council was made.
1. The proposed exception or outlot within the center of the plat be
is
subject to a cash dedication requirement at time that it becomes
platted into lots, if platted at a separate time.
2. A bituminous trail be installed on the south side of Northview Park
Road to be done at time of construction of the roadway.
3. With the upgrading of Wescott Road, a bituminous trail and concrete
sidewalk be constructed.
4. The proposed sidewalk on the east side of Lexington Avenue extending
from Wescott Road to Northview Park Road be a bituminous pathway rather
than the proposed concrete sidewalk as indicated in the Engineer's Report.
5. A 15' wide trailway easement be granted to the City beneath the north
south NSP powerline easement.
6. The developer be required to redirect the storm water -flow as to not
flood the existing pond within the park. If the proposed development
is to drain to the south, it should be a requirement that construction
of a storm water lift station be completed prior to development of those
homes or phases which would drain to the south.

• MARCH 7, 1984
7. Consideration be given to landscaping and berming by the developer
and the City to provide screening of the athletic fields from the
residential homes which would face upon it.
Again, the Commission had some concern relative to the number of homes facing
Northview Road and potential traffic conflicts associated with the athletic
fields and proposed future high school site. There was discussion and con-
sideration for recommendation for restricted parking, but no action was taken
pending future needs based on experience associated with the development and
park traffic.

REZONING & PRELIMINARY PLAT OF SAFARI ESTATES 2ND ADDITION
D. Gerald Pearson and Bill Diedrich for Rezoning From A to
R-1 for Approximately 23 Acres and for Preliminary Plat, Safari
Estates 2nd Addition Consisting of Approximately 23.5 Acres
Containing 41 Single Family Lots -- A public hearing was held
before the Advisory Planning Commission at their last regular
meeting held on February 28, 1984, to consider 2 applications
submitted by Mr. Gerald Pearson and Bill Deidrich. The first
application was a request to rezone approximately 23'h acres
from A to R-1, and the second application was for preliminary
plat of Safari Estates Second Addition consisting of 23h, acres
and containing 41 single family lots. The Advisory Planning
Commission is recommending approval of the preliminary plat
to the City Council. The APC discussed the proposed zoning
and preliminary plat making the following observations:
1) Three lots were under the R-1 zoning standards and that
certain lots must be changed in order to comply with
the 12,000 sq. ft. criteria.
2) The APC reviewed the proposed development as a transition
• between Berkshire's small lot, single family on the north,
and the Safari Estates' large lot, single family to the
south, and that this proposed plat provided a good transition
and good development in this general location.
3) The APC required that "Estates" be stricken from the
plat due to the size of lots and therefore it would be
Safari Addition instead of Safari Estates Second Addition.

SUBJECT: REZONING & PRELIMINARY PLAT - SAFARI ESTATES
SECOND ADDITION
APPLICANT: GERALD PEARSON AND BILL DIEDRICH
LOCATION: PART OF THE NW; OF THE SW's OF SECTION 32
EXISTING ZONING: A (AGRICULTURAL)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: FEBRUARY 28, 1984
DATE OF REPORT: FEBRUARY 23, 1984
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: The first application submitted is a request
to rezone approximately 23.5 acres from A (Agricultural District) to
R-1 (Residential Single District) located in part of the NW; of the
SW; of Section 32.
The second application submitted is a request for preliminary plat
approval, Safari Estates Second Addition, consisting of approximate-
ly 23.5 acres and containing 41 single family lots located in part
of the NA of the SW; of Section 32.
ZONING AND LAND USE
Presently, the parcel is zoned A (Agricultural) and has not had any
request for zoning in the past. The Comprehensive Guide Plan desig-
nates this particular parcel as R -II (Mixed Residential with a den-
sity of 3-6 dwelling units per acre). The proposed development con-
sists of single family homes which is on the very low end of this
density range.
rOMMF.NTR
The proposed plat is an undeveloped wedge of property between Berk-
shire Pond on the north and existing Safari Estates on the south.
Safari Pass is the access road that this subdivision would use to
gain access to this development. Safari Estates is zoned R-1 (Resi-
dential Single District) and the property to the north is zoned R-1
PD which would allow single family homes which deviate from the nor-
mal single family lot size requirements. Therefore, this proposed
development is a transition between the smaller lots to the north
and the larger lots to the south in this general area.
The one issue which may be brought out is Safari Estates was one of
• the last subdivisions that could use the name "Estates" and not have
the Estate zoning. This is the second phase of that, and it may be
questioned if the word "Estates" can be used in this Second Addition
if the zoning is R-1 vs. the Estate zoning. Therefore, there may be
W

REZONING & PRELIMINARY PLAT - SAFARI ESTATES SECOND ADDITION •
FEBRUARY 28, 1984

some question as to the name of this plat or what name could be used
other than "Estates" in this platting process.
The proposed plat consists of 41 single family lots of which all meet
or exceed the R-1 zoning requirements for lot width and square foot-
age with the exception of three lots.
The plat is proposing to have direct access onto Safari Pass and one
cul-de-sac off of Galaxie Avenue. The second phase will have a road
proposed from Safari Pass running northwesterly to provide access to
the property to the west. In review of this plat, this appears to
be the only place where access can be obtained to the property to the
west to allow for future development. The applicant is also provid-
ing the connection of the street to the north which was platted in
the Berkshire Pond preliminary plat. Therefore, the plat does pro-
vide continuity to this abutting property.
It appears that the main issue is the depth of sanitary sewer and
being able to provide proper sewer connections to the lots on the
cul-de-sac off of Galaxie Avenue. I believe Engineering is working
with the applicant to provide adequate sewer connections. •
If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following
conditions:
1) All lots meet or exceed the R-1 zoning criteria for square
footage and lot width.
2) Determination shall be made if "Estates" can be used in the
Second Addition of this proposed plat.
3) All other City ordinances shall be adhered to.
4) If the proposed development is zoned R-1 (Residential Single
District), all lots shall meet the minimum lot size of 12,000
square feet.
ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS
5) An overflow outlet from the proposed detention pond within
Block 3 of this proposed development shall be constructed
prior to or concurrent with phase two of this proposed de-
velopment.
6) A detailed grading and erosion control plan shall be submit-
ted for approval by staff.
7) water main shall be looped from Galaxie Avenue to Safari •
Pass through the cul-de-sac.

MEMO TO: THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE, .
CITY PLANNER
FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
DATE: FEBRUARY 22, 1984
SUBJECT: SAFARI ESTATES SECOND ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works has the
following comments regarding this proposed development for consid-
eration by the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council.
DRAINAGE/TOPOGRAPHY
The existing topography consists of rolling terrain with two inun-
dated depressions. One depression is located in approximately the
center of this proposed development while only a portion of the
other depression is located along the westerly boundary of this
proposed development. The latter depression is designated as Pond
AP -17 in the Master Storm Sewer Plan as shown on Figure 1. Cur-
rently, this pond does not have a controlled outlet. This pond
accepts runoff from storm sewers servicing the Safari Estates area
and a portion of Galaxie Avenue. When constructed, the outlet for
this pond will be to Pond AP -30 which presently does have a con-
trolled elevation. However, most of the drainage over this propos- •
ed development will be into the low area located within Block 3.
Subsequently, it will be the responsibility of this development to
provide a storm sewer outlet to their north line prior to comple-
tion of the development within this area. At this point, it will
connect to a storm sewer constructed by the Berkshire Pond devel-
opment. Subsequently, this low area in Block 3 will eventually be
connected to Pond AP -30.
The proposed grading will not alter the drainage patterns. A de-
tailed grading and erosion control plan shall be submitted prior
to final plat approval for approval by staff.
UTILITIES
Utilities of sufficient, capacity and depth exist within the prox-
imity of this development to provide service to it. Water and san-
itary sewer services are in-place along Safari Pass, or Lots 7-16
of Block 3. A 20" trunk water main is in-place along Galaxie Ave-
nue to provide service to the cul-de-sac. Sanitary sewer service
will have to be provided from the sanitary sewer constructed with-
in the Berkshire Pond Addition. It will have to be extended south
along Galaxie Avenue to this proposed development.
The timing for installation of utilities for this proposed develop-
ment will depend upon the Berkshire Pond development to its north. 41Coordination will be required for the sanitary sewer and also for
the subsequent storm sewer construction for the pond. Water main
constructed for the cul-de-sac will be required to be looped to the
W.",

south to the existing water main within Safari Pass. If installed
privately, plans and specifications shall be prepared by a register-
ed engineer in accordance with City design guidelines and reviewed
by staff.
40102W
Galaxie Avenue borders this proposed development along the easterly
boundary and Safari Pass borders this proposed development along
its southerly boundary. Galaxie Avenue is presently a community col-
lector street constructed to its ultimate design section of 44 feet,
while Safari Pass is a 32 -foot wide residential street constructed
to its ultimate design section.
Access to Lots 17-26 of Block 3 will be by way of a cul-de-sac off
of Galaxie Avenue. The cul-de-sac is well within'the allowable
length as defined by City Code. It will be required to be construct-
ed to City standards for a 32 -foot residential street.
RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS
• This proposed development will be required to dedicate 17 feet of
additional right-of-way for Galaxie Avenue to provide for a 50' half
right-of-way. In addition, a public right-of-way will be required
to be dedicated for the cul-de-sac street. Safari Pass right-of-way
has already been acquired.
In addition to the regular utility easements adjacent public right-
of-way and adjacent all lot lines, a ponding easement will be re-
quired over -Lots 21, 22 and 23 to encompass an elevation of approx-
imately 930.
ASSESSMENTS
All trunk related assessments have been assessed for this proposed
development. Subsequently, all costs for installation of future
utilities and streets will be the sole responsibility of this de-
velopment.
I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report in detail
with the Advisory Planning Commission at their meeting of February
28, 1984.

SAFARI ESTATES SET ADDITION - REZONING 6 PRELDQNARY PLAT
The hearing regarding the application of Gerald Pearson and Bill Diedrich
for rezoning approximately 23.5 acres from A (Agricultural)toR-1 (Residen-
tial Single) and for preliminary plat approval of Safari Estates Second Addi-
tion was next heard by the Planning Commission members. Mr. Runkle detailed
the proposal and indicated the four lots in the northeast did not meet R-1
standards, but Mr. Pearson and Mr Diedrich were present and stated that the
lot lines will be adjusted to comply with minimum standards. The developers
also indicated that they would not object to the dropping of the word
"Estates" in the addition name, because of the conflict with the Estate
zoning. The staff recommends an overflow outlet to the north, and the appli-
cants had no objections. There were no objections to the proposal, and
Mulrooney moved, Wold seconded the motion to recommend approval of the appli-
cation for rezoning from A (Agricultural) to R-1 (Residential Single Family).
All voted in favor. Then Mulrooney moved, Wilkins seconded the motion to
recommend preliminary plat application be approved, conditioned upon the
following:
1. That the word "Estate" be eliminated from the name of the plat.
• 2. All lots shall meet or exceed the R-1 zoning criteria for square
footage and lot width.

EAGAN SHORBLAND ORDINANCE
Mr. Runkle reviewed briefly with the Plann Commission members the
proposed Shoreland Ordinanc that has been dra d by the staff in conjunction
with the Department -of Nat al Resourc Mr. Runkle stated that many
meetings have been held with D Repre tatives over the past two years, but
that very few lakes within the t ould be affected. The DNA format was
generally followed and it is ex ted that the DNR will approve the draft
ordinance. There was discussi con rning Section 77.07, Subdivision 2, on
page 16 as to whether the alp cations ould be submitted to the DNR prior to
the Planning Commission proval, rat h r than only 10 days prior to City
Council approval. Fur er review will t e place on that issue and it was
also noted that exis ng planned developments will not be altered by the
proposed ordinance provisions. The Planning Commission designated the regular •
March 27, 1984 meeting of the Advisory Planning Commission, as the public
hearing night at 7:00 p.m. at the City Rall on the Shoreland Ordinance.

ded in the base bid the installation of a "grass paver" access drive
in lieu of the standard bituminous surfacing to our lift station
structures. The alternate bid requested was for the deletion of
the "grass paver" material and the installation of the more tradi-
tional bituminous access drive. As can been seen, the alternate
bid for a deduct of $4,430 for the traditional bituminous access
drive implies that the installation of this "grass paver" access
drive material costs an additional $4,430 over and above what would
be the bid cost of $3,650 for the installation of a traditional
bituminous access drive. With this information made available,
the staff will be requesting the City Council to make a determina-
tion as to whether this additional expenditure of $4,430 should
be installed for this project.
• Enclosed on page _1 3 is a copy of the bid tabulation for the Coun-
cil's information concerning this item.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To receive the bids for Con-
tract 84-3 and award the contract to the low bidder, Orr Construc-
tion in the amount of $29,417.25 with/without the alternate bid
for the bituminous drive in lieu of the "grass paver" drive, and
if approved, authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all re-
lated contract documents.

NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL TRAINING
B. National Development Council Training/Authorization for
William Escher -- Mr. William Escher, the acting Executive Director
of the Dakota County Chamber of Commerce is requesting an appropria-
tion in the amount of $200 to pay a portion of a four-week course
consisting of a week each to concentrate on the following subjects:
1) Economic Development Financing
2) Business Credit Analysis
3) Real Estate Financing
4) Advanced Deal Structuring
This request has been reviewed by the Economic Development Commis-
sion of the City Council, and it is their unanimous recommendation
that the City Council authorize the $200 expenditure to help
fund Mr. Escher's involvement at this four-week training. Enclosed
is a letter that explains the significance of the training as
prepared by Mr. Escher found on pages I1re /(0
through /'.
•
The letter does state that $150 is requifrom the City as
a contribution however since this letter was drafted, it was
learned that if you are not a Star City the cost will be greater
requiring a $200 appropriation. The Economic Development Commission,
Mayor Blomquist and the City Administrator feel having a member
of the Chamber of Commerce attend this training seminar and
share the information with the City, is well worth the amount
of the appropriation. Mr. Escher will be available to work
with business within the City of Eagan and the Economic Development
Commission upon his completion of the course work. City Administra-
tor and Mayor will explain more about the proposal at the City
Council meeting.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny authoriza-
tion of William Escher to attend the National Development Council
training.

RE: NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL TRAINING SPONSORED BY THE MINNESOTA
DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Dear Tom:
My registration in the Minnesota Department of Energy and Economic Develop-
ment's second round of National Development Training has been accepted.
The National Development Council Training will start on April 30 and
01 will consist of five days on "Economic Development Financing". This
course is the "nuts and bolts" knowledge and skills of how to establish
a public/private sector partnership to initiate an aggressive marketing
program, to screen, analyze, structure, and package investment proposals,
to enlist the commitment and support of the private sector lenders, to
utilize the Federal tax incentive and loan programs and to properly set
performance goals, monitor progress and identify problems.
The second five-day course entitled "Business Credit Analysis" will begin
on June 11. This course focuses on the analysis of the Balance Sheet,
Profit and Loss Statements, and the Cash Flow Statement. After this
segment, participants will be able to analyze their own live projects
and will have developed the skills to present a proposal to a lender or
an investor.
The third segment is titled"Real Estate Financing" and will begin on
June 23 for five days. The purpose here is to learn how to determine
property value based on the appraisal process, and to analyze, construct,
and restructure live underwriting proposals using conventional, income
participation, subordinate financing, syndication, and joint venture
underwriting techniques.
The final week of this course is titled"Advanced Deal Structuring". The
date for this course is to be announced. In this course, attention will
be focused on how to utilize public and private sector financing tools
and tax incentives to maximize the benefits offered to businesses
,and
jobs while maximizing the return to the public sector.

As we have discussed, the Chamber would like to take a more active role
in economic development for the cities that are represented within the
WWEhamber. To do this it is the feeling of our various City Economic
E Committees that if the cities do not intend to send someone
to this course, the Chamber should send someone to the course with the
financial participation from our respective city members.
It is my intention to attend as the representative from the Chamber. In
order to get the most advantageous price, I have registered as attending
under the Minnesota Star City Program of which Eagan is an applicant.
The four-week course cost is $600 as a Star City applicant. On March 1,
our Board of 'Directors approved my attendance at these training sessions
and agreed to contribute $150 towards the cost. I am prepared to per-
sonally pay $150 of the cost. I am,therefore, requesting the balance of
$300 be contributed by the Cities of Eagan and West St. Paul. Ken Kube,
Mayor of West St. Paul, has indicated he would endorse such a proposal
to their Council, and we have every reason to believe it will be granted.
Therefore, we hereby request the City of Eagan to agree to fund $150
towards these training sessions.
We are also writing to the City of Mendota Heights telling them of this
planned training program and asking them if they have any interest in
participating in the cost. If their answer is positive, we would reduce
everyone's contribution to $120.
If you consider it necessary or helpful, I would be more than pleased
to attend a Council meeting to make a formal request for the City's
darticipation and to answer any questions I can pertaining to the Economic
evelopment Committees we have established or to the training sessions
as I understand them.
The question has been asked, inasmuch as I am only the Acting Executive
Director of the Chamber, whether or not I would be available to represent
the Chamber in its association with the respective cities as it pertains
to economic development. While I am in no position to give any guaran-
tees, allow me to assure you that I would be more than happy to continue
in some capacity with the Dakota County Chamber -of Commerce when it works
with the cities in the area of economic development, and I am willing to
agree to this kind of a commitment for a reasonable period of time, maybe
up to three years, provided the Dakota County Chamber of Commerce is a
willing participant in such involvement.
If you have any questions concerning my request, I would appreciate your
letting me know. However, I would like an indication of your interest by
April 10 so I can make the necessary financial plans to attend the training
sessions.
Best personal regards.
Yours very truly,
DAKOTT COUNTY CHAMMBB R OF COMMERCE

SINGLE HEADEND/CABLE COMMISSION
D. Consideration of Single Headend for the Joint Cable Communica-
tion System -- During a City Council meeting in January, City
Council Member Smith and City Administrator Hedges reported that
Group W Cable was requesting a modification of the cable franchise
to provide a single headend and hub in the general area of the
Burnsville/Eagan corporate boundaries. The Joint Cable Commission
considered the request and determined that a consultant should be
hired to evaluate the request by Group W and determine whether
the equipment bid in the original franchise agreement would be
adequate to provide a strong frequency to all locations within
both the cities of Burnsville and Eagan. Mr. Jim Sullivan of Path
Engineering was hired to evaluate the technical design and a Mr.
Cattoor was hired by the Commission to evaluate the financial pro-
jections of Group W to determine whether the change in design would
be financially sound. Mr. Sullivan has completed the report find-
ing that the equipment cannot make the distance required to pro-
vide proper amplification and further, that the original one head -
end and one hub with FM interconnect would not have worked either
with the equipment that was originally bid. Therefore, it will
be necessary for Group W to use special switching equipment and
with other minor modifications to their equipment bid the single
headend will best serve the system. Therefore, in a motion by the
Cable Commission to each of the respective city councils, it was
recommended that Group W is offering from one headend to one hub
•
to one headend, conditioned upon final approval by the Cable
Commission of electronic specifications of the design of the system
to the boundaries of Burnsville and Eagan with all other
commitments of the original proposal to be met by Group W the
changes as proposed by Group W was approved. Since the City
Council to date has only considered a single headend hub in concept
it will be necessary to review and consider the recommendation
of the Joint Cable Commmission.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To consider approving a
single headend and hub location for the joint Burnsville/Eagan
Cable Communication Commission.
Special note: The City has a copy of the detailed reports that
were reviewed by the Commission for both the financial and techni-
cal evaluation. If any member of the City Council would like a
copy of the reports to review, please notify the City Administra-
tor's office.

PROJECT 400/ORDER FEASIBILITY REPORT
G. Project #400, Receive Petition/Order Feasibility Report (Oak
Cliff Pond Outlet) -- Earlier on the agenda, the City Council will
have considered the preliminary plat application for the Oak Cliff
Subdivision. The developer has indicated that he intends to install
the internal streets and utilities to service this subdivision.
However, the drainage from this subdivision will drain into what
will be referred to as Oak Cliff Pond (AP -10) which will require
a lift station and outlet to control the water elevation. Subse-
quently, the City has received a petition from the developer of
the subdivision requesting preparation of a feasibility report for
the installation of this trunk storm sewer lift station and outlet.
If the preliminary plat is approved earlier on this agenda, it would
be in order for the Council to 'receive the petition and authorize
the preparation of a feasibility report.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny the peti-
tion and, if approved, authorize the preparation of a feasibility
report for Project 400 for the installation of the storm sewer lift
station and outlets for Oak Cliff Pond (AP -10).
• PROJECT 401/ORDER FEASIBILITY REPORT
H. Project 401, Receive Petition/Order Feasibility Report (Lexing-
ton Square Trunk Storm 8 Sanitary Sewers) -- Earlier on this agenda,
the Council will be considering the preliminary plat application
for the Lexington Square Development. If this preliminary plat
is approved, the developers would like to proceed with. the first
phase of this plat which will require the extension of trunk sani-
tary and storm sewer through their subdivision. The developer has
indicated that they intend to install the internal streets and
utilities privately. However, due to the fact that this trunk storm
and sanitary sewer extension will benefit more than this subdivi-
sion, they are requesting that it be performed under a City contract
which requires a feasibility report and public hearing process.
Therefore, if the preliminary plat is approved for the Lexington
Square Addition earlier on the agenda, it would be appropriate for
the Council to consider this petition. Due to the anticipated quick
development schedule by the developer, the petition also contains
a statement whereby they waive their right to their portion of the
public hearing and guarantee all costs associated with their ad-
ditional request that detailed plans and specifications be prepared
simultaneously with the feasibility report to facilitate the instal-
lation of these trunk utilities.
• ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To receive the petition and
if appropriate authorize the preparation of feasibility report 401
(Lexington Square - Trunk Sanitary and Storm Sewers) and the prepa-
ration of detailed plans and specifications.

RESOLUTION REQUESTING VARIOUS COUNTY ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
K. Resolution Requesting Various County Road Improvements -- The
Public Works Director has been performing an analysis of collector/
arterial road improvements that will be necessary within the next
five years as a result of the interstate completion and/or existing
and projected subdivision development within the City. As it per-
tains to County road improvements, a considerable amount of coor-
dination must take place between the City and the County to insure
that the County road improvements are performed at the most optimum
time. The County has to perform extensive preliminary surveys to
determine potential permanent and construction easement acquisitions
in addition to projecting future budget allocations and potential
construction bonding requirements by the Dakota County Board for
these improvements. Conversely, the City must evaluate and antici-
pate the proposed impact on our Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan,
prepare the appropriate feasibility reports and conduct the required
public hearings as are required for special assessment projects
and review future budget allocations and potential alternative
funding sources to cover the City's share of construction and re-
lated overhead costs. The way to insure that these improvements
are performed in a timely manner is to get concurrence of the time
frame for which they are to be improved. Subsequently, the Director
of Public Works has prepared the following segments of County road
improvements to be considered by the City Council in preparation
of a formal resolution requesting the Dakota County Board to incor-
porate these improvements within the time frame so requested.

roadways. The Transportation Advisory Board of the Metropolitan
Council has requested applications for FAU funding assistance by
April 16, 1984. These submittals should be for projects that would
be ready for contract letting in 1986, 87 or 88. They will accept
requests for projects to be submitted for contract letting in 1985
if it can be demonstrated that those projects can be advanced on
the required time frame for contract letting within that calendar
year.
Subsequently, we have been contacted by the County Highway Depart-
ment requesting that a resolution be passed supporting their pro-
posed FAU project submittals. A copy of this resolution is contain-
ed on page &(* . As can be seen, the projects that they are pro-
posing for FAU funding will not be scheduled for construction until
a later date from those contained in the Public Works Director's
analysis. Also contained on page 12,1 is a letter from the County
Highway Engineer expressing similar concern relating to a County
Road improvement program to be defined in the near future. Subse-
quently, in order to support the County's application for FAU fund-
ing, it would be advisable for the City to pass a resolution of
support. However, the proposed year of construction should be dis-
cussed by the Council and modified in the resolution if appropriate.
The Public Works Director feels that one resolution dealing with
all the City's concerns will address both the County's proposed
Capital Improvement Program and their FAU funding request. If any-
thing, the City's desire for sooner completion of FAU funded County
roadways can only help to demonstrate the need for these roadway
improvements which will assist the County's applications.
The Public Works Director will be available to discuss these issues
in further detail at the Council meeting so that the appropriate
resolution can be drafted for Council approval.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: Pass a resolution requesting
Dakota County to establish a five-year County Highway Capital Im-
provement Program in concurrence with the City of Eagan's needs
and to pursue all available funding sources necessary to meet the
requested timetable. If approved, authorize the Mayor and City
Clerk to execute said resolution.

• Dear Tom,
In the past few months, the County Board has expressed interest in develop-
ing an overall Capital Improvement Program. In response to this interest,
we have begun to review our existing programs to determine what kind of
revisions are needed. We would like to meet with you to discuss your
city's priorities for planning and financing county highway improvements.
This coordination is especially important because we share the financial
burden of such improvements.
We will be contacting you by phone in the near future to arrange a meeting
with you and any other city staff members that you would like to include.
In the meantime, if you have any questions please contact Ann Hopkins at

The draft EIS for Laukka-Beck Minnesota Jockey Club, Inc. site devel-
opment proposal inadvertently omitted Mitigation Measures regarding
Aircraft noise and Airport operations in reference to building con-
struction. It is the City of Eagan's intention that the "Land Use
Compatibility Aircraft Noise Guidelines" adopted by the Metropolitan
Council be placed in effect by the City and the Comprehensive Guide
Plan amended to include these regulations.
Prior to adopting a noise compatibility ordinance, the City is eval-
uating the impacts these regulations would have on the Citv of Eagan.
Once the regulations are adopted, the City will enforce these through
the zoning and building code procedures. Building construction and
design will be reviewed and modified as necessary to obtain the re-
sults of the exterior noise level requirements.
The City has and is participating in the Part 150 Grant Application
being submitted by the Metropolitan Airports Commission to obtain
funding in order to study the airport/aircraft noise impact as it
pertains to Eagan. Once we have completed these revisions and deter-
mined the approximate cost associated with these regulations, the
City can then define how to enforce these regulations.
As an.interim measure and Mitigation solution, the City of Eagan will
utilize the Planned Development.Section of the zoning Ordinance to
achieve construction modifications until such time as ordinances are
adopted and the Comprehensive Guide Plan is amended which would re-
quire compliance of these regulations. The Planned Development pro-
cess results in a binding contract between the developer and the
City. The City has additional control over the process through the
planned development agreement and the regulations which can be plac-
ed on the development which will require compliance of the Land Use
Compatibility Guidelines of the Metropolitan Council. It is the
Citv's intention that conditions in the planned development agreement
will be addressed and all reouired conditions im_oosed incidental to
anv structures constructed as part of Alternates 2, 3 and 4 on this
development.

Re: Project 399, Silver Bell Road Overlay
Dear Mr. Copeland:
At the City Council meeting of March 6, 1984, you presented
a petition to the City Council pertaining to the condition of
the surfacing of Silver Bell Road. As you were informed during
the discussion- subsequent to the presentation of your petition,
the City intends to resurface Silver Bell Road as a part of
our 1984 construction program. The Engineering Division is
presently involved in preparing detailed plans and specifications
along with a preliminary engineering report to be reviewed by
the City Council in the near future. Our present schedule is
to have this construction work initiated late June of 1984.
The City Council and Staff have been very much aware of the
condition of this street and its increasing maintenance cost.
Therefore, please be assured that the Council shares the same
concerns that were addressed in the petition that was submitted
and that the required corrective planning efforts have already
been initiated.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your
interests and concerns in addition to the professional method
in which you are pursuing to resolve the problem.
If you have any questions to the action that the City will be
taking in response to your petition, please feel free to contact
me for further clarification.
The City Council and Staff would appreciate it if you could
share a copy of this letter with those individuals who signed
the petition requesting attention to the matter by the City
officials.

TAC/j j THE LONE OAK TREE... THE SYMBOL OF STRENGTH AND GROWTH IN OUR COMMUNITY
MEMO TO: ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION
• FROM: THOMAS A. COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: MARCH 13, 1984
SUBJECT: SUNSET 5TH ADDITION - RECONSIDERATION OF
PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL
On March 6, 1984, the City Council formally reviewed the preliminary
plat application of the Sunset 5th Addn..as recommended for approval
by the Planning Commission on February 28. Due to a conflict,
the developer's representative was unable to attend that Council
meeting to present his application. Normally, the City Council
continues those items where the developer or his representative
is not able to be present at the Council meeting. However,
the City Council had serious concerns pertaining to this proposed
two -lot subdivision providing direct driveway access onto Dodd
Road (a community collector) with a potential for a future public
street along the future side lot (north line of plat) of a future
single-family lot without this public right-of-way being of
record or even reviewed to determine if that is the most appropriate
location.
Subsequently, in light of a motion to formally deny this plat
• application, the City Council voted to send this back to the
Planning Commission for more detailed review of this proposed
development in relationship to the overall future development
of this area of the Lexington South PUD. The Council felt that
more detailed analysis and review of the potential future develop-
ment of this area might indicate a different configuration for
development.
I have reviewed these concerns with the developer's representative,
Mr. Brad Swenson, and Mr. Jim Curry of the Lexington South PUD.
They have indicated that they will look at a proposed development
scheme for this area and how it may impact or compliment the
proposed Sunset 5th Addition and also reviewing the proposed
configuration and location of the parcel designated for church
just north of the proposed Sunset 5th Addition.
Therefore, the City Council would like the Planning Commission
to perform a more in depth review of the overall area before
the merits of this small subdivision can be reviewed and subsequent-
ly approved.
If any Planning Commission member would like further clarification
in regards to this issue, please feel free to contact me.

CARRIAGE BILIS RSVE1M BOND ISSUE
The public hearings concerning a preliminary resolution for a multi-
family housing development revenue bond issue for Carriage Hills Apartment
projects in the amount of $6,000,000.00 and amendment to the City Housing Plan
were then convened by Mayor Bea Blomquist. Because this type of revenue bond
financing is new to the City Council, the Finance Committee was directed to
meet with representatives of Miller S Schroeder and review the revenue bond
program and prepare a report to the Council. Due to a large number of issues
facing the staff and city council, the Finance Committee has not met, and it
was recommended that the item be continued until the April 17, 1984 City
Council meeting. Mr. Hedges explained the project, noting that there were a
large number of interested neighboring citizens present, and he indicated that
the purpose was to lower the interest rates and in turn to lower the rental
rates. It was noted the City has adopted a housing plan that will require an
amendment to the City's Housing Plan.
Dan May and James Mournier of building No. 1 in Carriage Hills appeared
and presented a Petition signed by 101 persons consisting of about 65% of all
owners, objecting to the rental project. Mr. Mournier stated the owners were
lead to believe that condominiums would be built and that there would be no
rental units in the entire project. A'letter from Kenneth Foust objecting to
the City assisting in the rental project was read. Joan Benson, an
owner/resident recommended against City assistance in allowing the rental
• project, but it was noted by Council members that the City cannot control
whether rental units would be allowed. Their objections were on the basis of
devaluing the property and also objections to low-income rentals.

March 22, 1984
After considerable discussion, Smith moved, Thomas seconded the motion to
continue the hearing, both the public hearing concerning the Carriage Hills
revenue bond issue and in addition, the consideration of the amendment to the
City Housing Plan. It was noted that the Council had also before it a pro-
posed amendment to the Housing Plan, pursuant to M.S.A. 462C authorizing the
City to issue taxes and bonds and to assist in lowering the cost of financing
the construction or rehabilitation of multiple dwelling structures. All voted
in favor noting that there is need for additional study concerning the issue.
LONE OAK TREE
Mr. Hedges stated the Lone Oak Tree is scheduled to be removed about
April 10 or 11, 1984 according to specifications determined by.the City. City
Councilmember Wachter and City Administrator Hedges had reviewed the proposal
of Mr. Kent Nerburn who is suggesting a sculpture be made using the trunk of
the lone oak tree and also, noted that other alternates are being explored.
No action was required by the City Council, but simply an acknowledgement that
MnDOT is scheduled to remove the tree. Further report will be given by Mr.
Wachter and Mr. Hedges to the City Council. •
PARK SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT - BOND REFERENDUM - 1984
A special task force regarding the park system development improvements
has been meeting and has recommended that a bond referendum be scheduled by
the City Council for May 22, 1984 to consider the issuance of bonds for park
development and improvements. Smith moved, Thomas seconded the motion to
schedule a referendum on the proposed bond issue for park development and
improvements for May 22, 1984 with the actual amount of the referendum to be
determined by the City Council on - y 27, 1984 at a special meeting. All
voted in favor.
The application of Richard Winkler and Winkler Development Company for
preliminary plat approval of Oak Cliff consisting of approximately 33 acres
and containing 75 single family lots and 9 twin -home lots was presented to the
Council. The Advisory Planning Commission, on February 28, 1984, recommended
approval but had certain concerns about the proposal. Major discussion
evolved around the access and circulation of the single family and twin home
lots and the concept of the townhouse development referenced on Outlot B. It
was noted that the entire planned development will be platted with outlots
other than the areas intended to be developed at the present time. Mr.
Winkler and his engineer, Bill Maurer, of Probe Engineering, were present. •
Mr. Hedges introduced the project and Dale Runkle, City Planner, reviewed the
4
• Council Minutes
March 22, 1984
proposal in some depth. He noted that the intention is to provide better
communication between the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council and
thus, the reason for more detail in packets to the City Council concerning
Planning Commission's concerns. There were concerns about density revisions
and Councilman Smith recommended connecting the single-family and townhouse
development because of the size of the proposed townhouse areas for public
safety reasons, and the need for smooth traffic flow, etc. Mr. Winkler stated
that all of the single family lots comply with minimum requirements and the
price range will be $110,000.00 to $130,000.00 per unit. He recommended
against connecting the two areas, stating that a substantial number of trees
would be taken and that there is a severe grade change. Mayor Blomquist
stated there would be only one cul-de-sac and she felt the project appeared to
be feasible. Councilman Smith stated that there appeared to be too many units
on the townhouse cul-de-sac; that 50 units are too many units on the cul-de-
sac and strongly recommended for continuity sake in developments, to connect
neighborhoods. Mr. Mauer stated he felt that there was adequate safety
vehicle layout, that safety vehicle access would be adequate and that there is
also adequate off-street parking. There was discussion concerning proposed
access to the north commercial area, but noted it was very difficult because
• of the steep terrain. Mr. Colbert suggested a 20 foot wide street be widened
to 32 feet on the east end, if there is only one access. Both Councilman
Smith and Councilman Wachter suggested reasonable variances be provided for a
through -street, including saving of trees, setbacks, etc. and yet connect the
two projects. Blomquist moved, Thomas seconded the motion to approve the
application, subject to the following:
1. The townhouse plat shall provide for two accesses to the townhouse
zoned area from Slater's Road.
2. The total density in the planned development shall be reduced by 61
dwelling units for the Outlot B portion or the area west of Slater's Road.
The new density number for this area west of Slater's Road should be 231
dwelling units total as opposed to the 56.56 acres by 5.5 dwelling units per
acre. Further, 6 single family lots will be authorized on Jones Street East
of Slater's Road.
3. All lots being platted shall meet the minimum R-1 and R-2 zoning
standards.
4. The 50 townhouse units proposed on the north shall be approved in
concept only and a detailed review will be done at the time this area is
platted.
5. The applicant shall meet all other obligations of the Winkler Jack-
son Planned Development in regard to dedication of parkland and the grading or
• escrowing money for grading of the parkland to a suitable condition.

Council Minutes
March 22, 1984 •
6. A homeowner's association or common maintenance agreement shall be
required for the 8 twinhome lots.
7. All other City Code requirements shall be adhered to.
8. A detailed grading and erosion control plan shall be required to be
submitted for approval by staff.
9. Overflow outlets shall be provided from the two proposed detention
ponds into Pond AP -10.
10. There shall be 'no dead-end water mains unless they provide future
service to adjacent property.
11. Future development of the townhouse development on the North on new
Outlot B shall provide for a 32 foot wide improved private street constructed
to City standards.
12. Ponding easements shall be dedicated over the proposed retention
ponds located in Block 2 and Block 4.
13. Utility and drainage easements shall be dedicatd as required by •
staff.
14. All costs for internal utilities and streets shall be the sole re-
sponsibility of this development.
Councilman Smith was concerned that because the townhouse area was only a
concept, that it could be changed and revisions could take place in the
future. A neighboring Burnsville residential owner was present and had con-
cerns about drainage and trees in the southwest corner of the proposed plat.
The developer indicated that the trees would not be removed in the drainage
area, nor will the drainage area be filled. The staff recommended a ponding
.easement in the area. .Blomquist, Egan and Thomas voted in favor; Wachter and
Smith -voted no.
ROSE BILI. ADDITION - PRELDQNARY PLAT
The application of Howard Kyllo and Howard Kyllo Development for prelimi-
nary plat approval of Rose Hill Addition, consisting of approximately 12.4
acres with 14 single family lots was next heard. Dale Runkle discussed the
application and Jim Hill, Planner -Engineer, appeared for the applicant. There
was discussion concerning the Planning Commission recommendations where the
Commission recommended approval and noted the reasons for connection to the
Blackhawk Hills development to the east. There were no objections. Egan
moved, Wachter seconded the motion to approve the application, subject to the •
following recommendations:

with respect to the original parcel.
10. All costs associated with the installation of public improvements
for this development shall be the sole responsibility of this development.
11. The plat shall satisfy all City park dedication requirements.
All voted in favor.
LEXINGTON SQUARE - PRELIMINARY PLAY
The application of Northland Mortgage Company for preliminary plat
approval of Lexington Square consisting of approximately 132 acres and con-
taining 369 single family lots was presented to the Council.. Mr. Hedges
briefly introduced the application and Dale Runkle reviewed the proposal in
some detail. He also reviewed the highlights of the discussion before the
Advisory Planning Commission and noted that the smallest lot proposed appar-
ently is 8,700 square feet with the overall average being 11,707 square feet.
He reviewed the street access including Northview Park Road, noting that it is
proposed as a neighborhood community collector under the Eagan Transportation
• Plan, but now proposed as a neighborhood collector where direct access could
be allowed.
7
Council Minutes •
March 22, 1984
The minimum lot width would be 75 feet and the terrain is very level and
untreed which would substantiate the type of development being requested.
Planning Commission members had concerns about back yards abutting Wescott
Road and that berms ,would not be practical, but that landscaping was proposed.
Another important issue discussed was drainage and it was recommended by the
staff that all drainage go to the north.
Wayne Tower of Suburban Engineering was present as were representatives
of the applicant and noted that there were only 5 lots under 9,000 square feet
in size. Mr. Tower also recommended that the southerly tier of lots be
allowed to drain to the south, noting the additional cost in installing pipe
running water to the north. Mr. Colbert strongly recommended that all water
be diverted to the north because JP -30 to the south cannot handle additional
storm drainage and no plan has been submitted to develop the land to the south
at the present time. Bruce Patterson of Suburban Engineering also stated that
the project would not add additional water to Pond JP -34 and Mr. Colbert noted
that only about 200 feet of additional pipe would resolve the potential prob-
lem. An alternate would be to restrict development in the south area until
the storm sewer is installed. Mr. Wachter suggested more consistency in the
street names. The applicant noted there are now 373 lots with some revisions •
having been made and it did agree to install the storm sewer to run all water
to the north. Smith moved, Thomas seconded the motion to approve the applica-
tion subject to the following conditions:
1. The plat shall be subject to the Dakota County Plat Commission's
review and comment because the plat abuts a County road.
2. No variances for setback or lot coverage shall be allowed except for
topographic or vegetation reasons.

SAFARI ESTATES 29D ADDITION - PREUXINARY PLAT & REZONING
The application of Gerald Pearson and Bill Diedrich to rezone from A
(Agricultural) to R-1 (Single Family) and for preliminary plat approval of
Safari Estates 2nd Addition consisting of approximately 23 acres proposed to
contain 41 single family lots was next heard. Mr. Runkle indicated that the
Advisory Planning Commission at its February 28, 1984 meeting recommended
approval, subject to certain conditions. In explaining the proposal, he
indicated that all lots now comply with the'12,000 square foot criteria and
that the Planning Commission recommended the word "Estates" be stricken, due
to the size of the lots being less than 20,000 square feet under the Estate
zoning category. Mr. Pearson and Mr. Diedrich were present and stated that
they requested an increase from 41 to 42 lots with one additional lot on
Safari Pass. There were no objections. Wachter moved, Egan seconded the
motion to approve the application for rezoning and also to approve the appli-
cation for preliminary plat approval with 42 lots, subject to the following
conditions:
1. That the word "Estate" be eliminated from the name of the plat.
2. All lots shall meet or exceed the R-1 zoning criteria for square •
footage and lot width.
3. All other City ordinances shall be adhered to.
4. An overflow outlet from the proposed retention pond within Block 3
of this proposed development shall be constructed prior to or concurrent with

MIMUIST LAS L37T STATION - CONTRACT 084-3
Formal bids have been received for the installation of a lift station
pump for.Almquist Lake and the construction of access drive from Covington
Lane to the lift station. Mr. Colbert reviewed the alternates, including
grass paver material rather than bituminous access drive. The grass paver
would add $4,430.00 above the traditional bituminous access drive material.
In addition, another alternate was for the equipment pump, but it was recom-
mended that the pump be eliminated. John Candell, attorney, appeared for Mr.
and Mrs. Briggs, the affected property owners, and stated their concerns about
the type of driveway and that they did not know there was an access that would
be installed at the time they purchased the lots. They recommended the grass
paver material and also requested an access gate be installed. After discus-
sion, Smith moved, Egan seconded the motion to award the contract to Orr
Construction with the total base bid of $29,417.25 with grass paver installa-
tion and bituminous closer to the pond at the lower end, with the further
understanding that Mr. and Mrs. Briggs will execute an access drive easement
• from Covington Lane across their lot to the station, according to City ease-
ment standards. Further, that the property owners would have certain con-
trols over the proposed gate, but that the drive be accessable to necessary
City vehicles. All voted yes. Mr. Candell agreed that the conditions would
be fulfilled by his clients.
NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL TRAINING
Mr. Hedges stated that Bill Escher, the acting Executive Director of the
Dakota County Chamber of Commerce has requested an appropriation of'$200.00 to
pay a portion of a four-week course sponsored by the Minnesota Department of
Energy and Economic Development. Mr. Escher was present and discussed the
financing topics covering financing for business and noted that West St. Paul
and Mendota Heights have approved the sum of $160.00 each, which was now being
requested from the Eagan City Council for the training. Smith moved, Thomas
seconded the motion to authorize the expenditure of $160.00 as requested. All
voted in favor.
City Administrator Hedges submitted a proposed request for expenditure of
approximately $8,000.00, including $3,500.00 to $4,500.00 for labor survey,
slide presentation for the City, and other necessary expenses for the Economic
Development Commission. There was some discussion concerning the ability to
• fund the project. Egan moved, Thomas seconded the motion to authorize
$8,000.00 to be allocated, noting that it is a non -budgeted item. All members

Public Works Director, Tom Colbert, stated that Rahn Road continues to
handle increasing volumes of traffic and that the width and design section is
inadequate for the present traffic conditions. MSAS funding would require
widening to a minimum standard of 44 feet with concrete curb and gutter, but
due to the anticipated easement acquisitions and public hearings required, it
was suggested that the width be somewhat less than 44 feet. Hlomquist moved,
Smith seconded the motion to authorize the preparation of the feasibility
report for Rahn Road street improvements, including several alternates in

4. Project 405, Authorize the Preparation of a Feasibility Report,
Rahn Road - Streets -- As the Council is well aware, the condition
of Rahn Road from Shale Lane to Beau D'Rue Drive has been deteriora-
ting steadily over the past several years to the point that the
maintenance department is having extreme difficulty in maintaining
the existing service through patching. Rahn Road continues to han-
dle increasing volumes of traffic combined with the heavier traffic
loads of fire trucks, MTC busses, school busses, etc. The present
width and design section is inadequate for the present traffic con-
ditions. Due to the fact that this is a municipal state aid street
(MSAS), any improvements to be funded by MSAS would require it to
be widened to the minimum standard of 44' with concrete curb and
gutter. Due to the anticipated easement acquisitions and involved
public hearings associated with this proposed improvement, the pub-
lic works director is requesting authorization to prepare the feasi-
bility report to initiate this process during the summer of 1984
so that the plans can be prepared during the fall of 1984 to be
approved municipal state aid during the winter of 1984/85 for an
early 1985 construction program.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve/deny the prepara-

this time.
DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
1. Project 404, Receive Petition/Order Feasibility Report (Lexing-
ton Place 2nd Addition and Lexington Place South - Utilities)
The City has received a petition from U.S. Homes, Inc., requesting
the preparation of a feasibility report to complete the installation
of utilities to service the Lexington Place Subdivision adjacent
to Duckwood Drive. Presently, U.S. Homes is proceeding through
the Planning Commission with a request to change the previously
approved preliminary plat providing for apartment/condominium de-
velopment south of Duckwood Drive to a small lot, zero lot line
single family development similar to the Ridgecliff 7th Addition.
Their proposed construction schedule requires a November 15th com-
pletion of these utilities. This schedule combines with the fact
that to provide sanitary sewer service to this property an easement
will have to be acquired across the easterly portion of Barry Til-
ley's property. They have indicated that they would like to have
the City initiate the public improvement process as soon as possible
and to initiate condemnation proceedings to acquire all required
easements outside this subdivision. However, they have indicated
that they will continue to work with the City and the property
owners for a negotiated acquisition of these easements without con-
demnation.
Normally, the City does not accept petitions and order preparation
of feasibility reports for subdivisions that have not received pre-
liminary plat approval by the City Council. However, they have
guaranteed all costs associated with this early study and feasibili-
ty report preparation should the revised preliminary report not
be approved by the Council. In any event, sanitary sewer service
for the southern portion of the Lexington Place development must
come from Wescott Road through the Tilleys' property irregardless

ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To receive the petition and
order a feasibility report for Project 404, Lexington Place 2nd
Addition and Lexington Place South - Utilities, or continue consi-
deration until the April 17 Council meeting at which time the revi-
sion to the previously approved preliminary plat will be considered.
2. Contract 84-7, Approve Plans/Order Advertisement for Bids
(Cedarvale 2nd Addition - Storm Sewer & Driveways) -- On March 6,
the public hearing was closed and the installation of storm sewer
and driveway extensions to service the businesses within the Cedar -
vale 2nd Addition and the Country C1ub.Market was approved and plans
and specifications were ordered for preparation. These plans have
now been completed and are being presented to the Council for their
review and approval.
As the Council may recall, during the public hearing, there was
concern expressed pertaining to the installation of adequate land-
scaping within the boulevard area to screen the dumpster/loading
dock area of the Country Club Market. A landscaping plan has been
prepared by the Staff with an estimated cost of approximately $2500.
The Public Works Director is meeting with a representative of Coun-
try Club Market Wednesday morning to discuss whether this improve-
ment should be included as a part of the City contract or whether
they elect to install this landscaping privately with a financial
security to guarantee completion this season. The Public works
Director will discuss the status of the landscaping for the Country
Club Market at the Council meeting Thursday evening.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve the plans for
Contract 84-7 and authorize the advertisement for a bid opening
to be held at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, April 13.
3. Advisory Planning Commission Member Selection -- Presently,
Scott Merkley, whose hiring as Engineering Tech II was previously
considered on this agenda, is the designated alternate member for
the Advisory Planning Commission. If his selection to fill the
engineering position is approved by Council action, it may become
necessary for the City Council to appoint a new alternate to the
Planning Commission due to the apparent conflict of interest asso-
ciated with Scott's new position with the City. Scott has indicated
that he would be willing to step down from the Planning Commission
if he is hired to fill the position.
•
•
The Council may wish to select an individual from the past applica-
tions presently on file or request that new applications be solici-
ted with an interview process to be established. •

MEETING
After approval of the March 6, 1984, regular City Council minutes
and the agenda for the March 22, 1984, City Council meeting,
the following items are in order for consideration:
SPECIAL NOTE
There are several Department Head items scheduled for consideration
on this City Council Agenda. There is adequate time to resolve
each of the Department Head items if limited discussion is expected.
However, if members of the City Council anticipate a lengthy
discussion on any of the items, it might be well to continue
those items until later in the City Council meeting, specifically
Public Works since Tom Colbert will be present.
DEPARTMENT (HEAD?.BUS'1N£SS
FIRE DEPARTMENT
• A. Fire Department -- There are no items to be discussed under
Fire Department at this time.
POLICE DEPARTMENT
B. Police Department -- There are two items to be discussed
for the Police Department at this time:
1) Vehicle For the Animal Warden •- As a part of the '1984
Budget, Capital Outlay was approved in the amount of $4,500
for a used van in the Department of Animal Control.
There is also authorization to approve a new van for
the Water and Sewer Department. As a part of the Budget
discussion during the Fall of 1983, there would be some
consideration given to recycling the van in the Utility
Department to Animal Control for the purpose of transporting
animals within the City. Since that discussion, there
has been further discussion at the City Council level
about the purchase of a new van as opposed to recycling
of a used van. The additional amount of money for purchase
of a new van is to be considered out of Equipment Certifi-
cates. A directive was given to the Chief of Police
to investigate the difference between a mini -van and
full-size van and how they relate to the transportation
of animals by the Animal Warden. A copy of t,ha�t memorandum
and cost comparison is enclosed on pages �'through
• _1�_ for review by the City Council.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To consider the purchase
of a van for use by the Animal Warden, with the type of van
to be determined by the City Council.

Ot�nlw�tgdn
I spoke to Rosemount Dodge regarding a Dodge Mimi Van vs
the Dodge full-size van. The Mini -cargo van is extremely
difficult to order at this time. The delivery time on the
mini -van is six months to one year. The mini -van is approxi-
mately $356 less than the full-size 6-cyclinder van. If
we do some comparative shopping, I feel we could get a better
price on the full-size cargo van. Dealers are not willing
to reduce their price on the smaller unit as they are in
such demand.
The animal warden drives approximately 12,000 miles per year.
If a new Chrysler product with a galvanized body and rust -
proofing were purchased, I suspect the animal warden could
use the vehicle eight to nine years, barring unforeseen diffi-
culties.
If the 1979 Chevrolet cargo van is transferred from the Water
Department to the animal warden, I estimate it will provide
two to three more years of use. This vehicle currently has
60,000 miles on it and is not rust -proofed. The -1979 Chevrolet
gets approximately 9 miles to the gallon. We would also
have to do some body work on it to allow for air circulation
to the back of the unit for the animals during the summer
months. I understand Richfield did not do this and had several
animals die from the heat while being transported.
Regardless of what we elect to do, we are going to have to
do something soon. On the present van, there are several
spots under the front seat which are completedly rusted through.
A leaf spring broke and went through the floor in the back
of the unit. The outside of the body is rusted through all
away around the outside. I am very concerned about the integ-
rity of the undercarriage because of the rust.

TO: Thomas L. Hedges, City Administrator
FROM: Chief of Police
SUBJECT: CURFEW ORDINANCE
JAY M. SERTHE
Chief of Polka
This memo is in response to your request to look into the above
ordinance and its effects.
First, I should explain the term "Status Offender". A status
offender is a violation of the law that only a minor can be
charged with such as buying or possessing cigarettes, possession
or consumption of alcohol, truancy, runaway and curfew.
Secondly, the question was raised: "Can we enforce a status
offense?". The answer is yes. I have talked to the county
attorney's staff and they confirm this is addressed in State
Statute 260:125. However, as a past practice, we normally
wait until we have had several contacts with a juvenile before
we petition him/her into Juvenile Court for the status offense.
In Dakota County, there is a special court to handle these
juvenile cases.
Third, I personally, as well as other officers, have received
information from parents who are very much in agreement with
the Curfew Ordinance. In many cases, it seems to give the
parents in need of a reson to restrict their child's evening
activities, an excuse, if you will, to put a time limit on
their request.
As officers, we feel this ordinance gives us assistance in
dealing with the late hour loitering by youths. In the past
we have found that children will sometimes tell their parents
that they are staying at a friends or "camping out" in a tent,
but instead they spend a good deal of their time roaming the
streets, and in some cases, committing car prowls, vandalisms,
thefts and/or burglaries. Also we have had problems with young
people from Eagan as well as from neighboring communities "hanging
around" Cedarvale, Cedarvale Lanes and the "Q" station. In
some instances, they create a problem for the merchants by
disturbing the customers. This ordinance give us the authority
to ask them to leave if no specific crime has been committed
except their nuisance.

It is extremely rare for us to petition a young person to court
for a curfew violation but if we have had several contacts
with the youth, this may be the contact that sends him/her
to court.
Also, under item 10.30, subd#5, no mention is made of youths
going to or from work. I am sure this was an oversight and
the proper wording could be added.

MEMO TO: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
FROM: THOMAS L. HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
DATE: FEBRUARY 24, 1984
SUBJECT: NAMING OF PARK LANDS/CITY OF EAGAN
In official action that was taken by the Eagan City Council
at a regular meeting held on Tuesday, February 7, 1984, 14 parks
were renamed in accordance with the recommendation for renaming
the parks as set forth by the Advisory Parks and Recreation
Commission. Those parks include: Oak Chase Park, Thomas Lake
Park, Carnelian Park, Cinnamon Park, Country Home Park, O'Leary
Park, Fish Lake Park, Berry Patch Park, Pilot Knob Park, Ridgecliff
Park, Walnut Hill Park, Wescott Station Park, Woodhaven Park,
and Meadowland Park. The City Council excluded from their official
authorization of park names six (6) other park lands and are
suggesting to the Parks and Recreation Commission alternative
names for those parks. The following lists the park land names
as recommended by the Advisory Commission, immediately followed
by a new name as a suggestion from the City Council:
(* There was no recommendation, however, the City Council felt
there might be family tension if Schwanz, Trapp, or some other
family name is used for this property. If a family name is
to be used, it should clearly be the name of the family who
either originally settled the property or has had ownership
to the property longer than any other family.)
The City Council appreciates the work the Advisory Parks and
Recreation Commission has put into the renaming of the park
land and was especially excited about the creativity in using
unique names. The main reason for changing two of the park
land names back to the original, Northview and Highline, is
due to the community -wide name recognition of those two parks,
much the same as Carnelian Park. The reason for changing Robber's
Ravine Park was basically a feeling that the word, "Robber's",
might not provide a good connotation throughout the community
and, furthermore, the name is quite lengthy. The reason for
changing Barley Corn to Moonshine is one of identification.
The City Council concluded that a majority of people using the
park might not associate Barley Corn with the making of alcohol,
whereas, Moonshine more clearly defines historical significance
• of an activity that once occurred in that park.

MEMO TO: TOM HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
RE: NAMING OF PARKS
The Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission on Thursday,
March 1, reviewed the issue of park names.Essentially
there were six parks which the City Council deferred back
to the Commission for review again. The Commission did this
at its regular meeting and asked Mr. Carroll, who was the
Chairman of the Parks Names Committee to address a memo to
the City Council explaining how some of the names were
derived.
I might add that as it relates to Northview Athletic Fields,
there were two additional thoughts concerning the need to
change this name designation.. First, access to the park
is not available from Northview School. There has been and
continues to be some confusion when you say Northview Fields,
you mean Northview School and people tend to go to the wrong
• facility. Further, there is no access to Northview Park near
the school site and hence, there is confusion evolved from
this dilemma.
The second aspect of the name change is that Burnsville also
has a Northview Park location. Apparently this has caused
some confusion with those residents of Eagan who live in the
Burnsville school district when mention is made of athletic
activities at Northview Park/Athletic Fields as it relates
to soccer and other activities.
Perhaps with time permitting, this item could be placed on
the March 22 Council Agenda or deferred to the special meeting
of the Advisory Commission on Tuesday, March 27, if you feel
this would be a more appropriate opportunity to discuss this.

MEMORAKDDM
DATE: March 6, 1984
TO: Kenneth Vraa, Director of Parks & Recreation
FROM: Richard L. Carroll (/
SUBJECT: Naming of Park Lan a C iy of Eagan
In response to the Memorandum from Mr. Hedges dated February 24, 1984, the
following information is presented as the consensus of Commission.
1. Downing Athletic Fields is the recommended name rather than
Northview Athletic Fields. This is a City Park - not a school
field and therefore deserving of its own identification. We
believe a subtle association of this park with education is
fine. That is whey we selected the name of Eagan's first
teacher for this park. Within a few years Eagan will
undoubtedly have its own high school next door. the Northview
name will then fade into a secondary importance. Finally,
please note that our Park System Plan calls for an athletic
park in Section 10. You will note that this location is north
northwest of Northview. We do not believe we should confuse
our people with a Northview which is actually south southeast
of another athletic park.
• 2. Stonecutter's Park was recommended because a deceased early
settler in the area who plied his trade in erecting our State
Capitol Building. We are not aware of a quarry of any
significance in the area.
•
3. Eagan's history has noted that the Jesse James Gang spent the
night near this park on their way from St. Paul to Northfield
where their botched bank robbery made history. We would rather
try again at a new name rather than to use the generic term
"Ravine".
4. Barley Corn Park is preferred over Moonshine Park by all
members. Moonshine was the "official" name for the cooked -down
stuff. Barley Corn was the down-home part of history. Before
alcoholism became a disease it was known as being in the
clutches of John Barley Corn.
5. Logger's Trail was recommended because when the railroad was
being built along the eastern edge of Eagan much of the choice
white oak trees along this trail were sawed into railroad ties
and sledded generally along this trail to the rail site. This
again is part of our history. The name "Highline" like road,
ditch, or ravine has little significance and would create no
user interest.

6. Trapp Farm Park - We suggest this name be withdrawn from
further consideration until a more detailed analysis can be
made.
In summary the Advisory Park & Recreation Commission has attempted to create
interest and enthusiasm in the naming of parks. We also believe it is an
excellent opportunity to interweave our history with our surroundings. We
hope that the children will have a chance to use their imagination, not just
with cold statistics of history but perhaps some of the lore that is part of
our past. It is understood that a brief summary will be signed at the
entrance's to these parks so that park users too can learn and enjoy the aura
of Eagan.

at the Fire Administration Building for City wide groups.
Cleaning of the Building will be a requirement following
the use of the community room by various groups, and
in addition certain equipment will be required such as

SUBJECT: LAWCON/LCMR FISCAL YEAR 1985 GRANT APPLICATIONS
The Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission on March 1, 1984,
reviewed potential grant applications for the Fiscal Year 1985
LAWCON/LCMR grants program (see attachment addressed to the
Advisory Commission).
The Advisory Commission reviewed each of the subject park parcels
and after a thorough discussion, has recommended to the City
Council that grants be submitted in the following priority:
1. Coachman Park
2. Schwanz Lake Park
3.- Capricorn Park
In addition, the Advisory Commission has recommended to the
City Council that the City staff and City Attorney be authorized
to begin negotiations for acquisition of approximately 1.4 acres
• from three private property owners whose property touch upon
the south shore of Schwanz Lake. It was noted that acquisition
costs could come from part of a combined development/acquisition
proposal or from the park site fund as may be necessary.
Members also noted an express concern for the requirement of
providing matching funds for each grant application. They requested
staff to review and restructure said grant applications to reduce
the amount of the City's match to a level acceptable to the
Council and sustainable within the park site fund.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION
.
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION
DATE: FEBRUARY 23, 1984
SUBJECT: FISCAL YEAR 1985 LAWCON/LCMR PARK GRANTS
At the February meeting of the Advisory Parks & Recreation Commis-
sion, staff made a brief presentation on possible changes for
the fiscal year 1985 LAWCON/LCMR Grants program. Although the
Metropolitan Council has not adopted its final review criteria,
it would be appropriate for the Advisory Parks and Recreation
Commission to determine its priorities for grant applications
to insure that these applications can be submitted on a timely
basis. Therefore, staff has prepared the following information
relative to potential park sites for your consideration.
1. Coachman Park - In 1979 the City received an acquisition
grant to acquire a portion of now Coachman Park. This
grant was awarded to the City under the entitlement
of a community athletic complex for Section 9. The
amount of the grant award to the City was for $99,000.
Of this amount approximately $33,000 was of state LCMR
funds. Because there is a $200,000 maximum award for
• LCMR funds to any single project, there remains at
least $170,000 of funding which can still be sought
for development of the this park area. The working
proposal currently being reviewed for a possible park
bond referendum, indicates that Coachman Park's development
would cost approximately $220,000, thus making it eligible
for the funding under the LCMR/LAWCON cost -haring formula.
2. Schwanz Lake. Park - The designation of Schwanz Lake
Park as a community park may give this park area some
priority for grant funding. However, there are three
identifiable problems at this time which may affect
the awarding of funds to the City for this park. These
three problems are as follows: 1) the City does not
currently own the property although it has been designated
for acquisition under the Lexington South PUD. Assuming
that Mr. Curry follows through with his intentions
of deeding this property to the City by October of
1984, this concern will be eliminated; 2) there remains
approximately 1.4 acres of additional shoreline aquisition
from three private property owners whose lot lines
touch upon the south shore of Schwanz Lake. This aquisi-
tion was noted in the systems plan study. Should the
determination be made that a grant should be submitted
for Schwanz Lake Park for development, direction should
be given to the City Attorney's office to proceed with
is negotiations for purchase of this land. Acquisition
costs could become a part of the grant application
under a combined development/acquisition proposal;

3) Access to Schwann Lake Park is to be from the proposed
future South Wescott Hills Drive. Because the timing
of this road construction is uncertain, it may affect
the ranking of the grant. This can be somewhat mitigated
by the inclusion of a temporary access road on the
alignment of the future road bed. Including the optional
shelter building for Schwanz Lake, development costs
are estimated at $390,000. Under current formulas
and at this grant maximum, the City could receive a
total of $150,000 assuming sufficiently high rankings.
3.
Capricorn Park - Capricorn Park has been designated
as a quasi -community park facility under the park system
plan. Estimated cost for the development of this facility
is $460,000. Like Schwanz Lake, assuming high enough
grant ranking, the City could expect to receive as
much as $150,000 toward these development costs. Capricorn
Park, because of its size, service area, accessibility
by major roadways, as well as site suitability, lends
itself toward being ranked as a significant project.
4.
Rahn Park - Staff has considered the Phase 2 approach
•
to the development of the athletic fields at Rahn Park.
However, the City has already received, under the previous
acquisition and Phase 1 development grant, $170,000.
Current guidelines prohibit more than $200,000 maximum
for any single project and, therefore, would limit
the City to receiving only an additional $30,000 toward
the Phase 2 development.
5. Thomas Lake Park/Blackhawk Park - The Director of Parks
and Recreation has been approached by Mr. Ed Dunn to
determine the interest of the City in acquiring, through
purchase, the parkland designated under the existing
PUD's for dedication, and in the case of Blackhawk Park,
the offer to sell additional land to the south of Black -
hawk Lake. Under the proposal to_acquire through purchase
parkland shown to be dedicated under the PUD agreement,
the City would acquire the land with a grant application
allowing the City to have earlier control of the property
and then reinstating a cash dedication requirement
on the adjacent land parcel which would generate future
cash dedication fees exceeding the City's share in
the cost acquisition procedure. This would be similar
to acquisition of designated park property along Blackhawk
Lake.
• Staff has a concern for the rankings of acquisition applications
at this time as the ranking criteria is now heavily weighted
toward development type projects. Staff has been considering

DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION/ADVISORY COMMISSION
• February 23, 1984

a possible development project for Thomas Lake Park but without
acquisition of the property or acquisition pending, it is very
unlikely the City would receive approval of a grant application.
The Advisory Commission should make a determination of which
grant applications it would like to have submitted for the fiscal
year '85 grant cycle. Members should keep in mind that it may
now submit more than one grant application. Members must also
keep in mind that matching funds will be required by the City
should the grants be awarded to any one or all of the projects
submitted. There is insufficient funding within the park site
fund to cover these matching costs and could only be made available
through a successful parks bond referendum or special assessment
levy.

MEMO\TO: —TOM HEDGES,_CITY_ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION
DATE: MARCH 6, 1984
SUBJECT: KEHNE HOUSE
The subcommittee of the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission
on special issues, met on February 23, 1984, to review the informa-
tion concerning the Kehne House. The subcommittee had met twice
previously in regard to this issue and met with the purpose
of reviewing, the information prepared by Mr. Roger Sjobeck
of the Adkins Association Inc. Mr. Sjobeck is the principal
architect in the Association and a resident of the City of Eagan
who has volunteered his time to do a preliminary review of this
house. At that subcommittee meeting and the regular meeting
on March 1, 1984, with the entire membership of the Advisory
Commission, the Commission again reviewed the status of the
Kehne House. The Advisory Commission concurred with the subcommit-
tee's findings that the Kehne House has substantial potential
for use as a future City facility. This was based on Mr. Sjobeck's
preliminary findings on the condition of the house.
Although Mr. Sjobeck had made two visits to the home and spent
a considerable amount of time reviewing the blueprints and condition
• of the house, it was noted that this was still a preliminary
finding relative to the cost and value of the home. It was
therefore suggested that, based on these findings, that a more
intensive investigative research is warranted. Therefore, the
subcommittee requested Mr. Sjobeck to prepare a cost estimate
to do a more detailed study. In response to this request,
Mr. Sjobeck has suggested that the following work be done:
1. A remeasuring and redrafting of the floor plan of the
house should be made because of the obvious number
of additions that were made from the original plan.
•
2. A thorough survey of the condition of the house including
its mechanical and utilitarian functions be made to
note deficiencies.
3. That a draft plan be drawn to show major changes which
would be required to correct any deficiencies and/or
to make the house suitable for public/private use.
4. That a review and redesign of the bathroom to determine
its suitability for use as a private facility or public/
handicapped useage.
5. That a detailed cost estimate be prepared on the home.

to perform the work as outlined on a cost not -to -exceed basis.
It was the Commission's feeling that to proceed on any direction
relative to the utilization of the home is justified by this
expenditure.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve/disapprove
of the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission recommendation
to hire Mr. }oger Sjobeck to perform a detailed review of the
Kehne House AYth cost estimates for remodification.

needs in the dispatch center. The Police Department is request-
ing that authorization be given to hire one person as a part-
time dispatcher to work 24 hours a week to be effective approx-
imately April 16, 1984. A 1984 Budget appropriation has been
made for the total hours as requested.
• ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To authorize the hiring of
a 24-hour per week dispatcher beginning effective April 16, 1984.

RESOLUTION FOR INTOXILYZER
B. Resolution for Intoxilyzer -- The City of Eagan has been noti-
fied by the State of Minnesota, Department of Public Safety, Bureau
of Criminal Apprehension, that a new Intoxilyzer 5000 will be leased
at no cost to the City of Eagan by the State. This equipment re-
places the old Breathalyzer equipment that is currently used by
our Police Department. The State is asking that the City enter
into an agreement at no cost to the City for this mechanism which
will allow the State to place a new infrared breathtesting instru-
ment and stimulator within our Police Department. The Intoxilyzers
were purchased with money from a Federal highway and traffic safety
grant and from the State of Minnesota legislative appropriation
of matching funds. They are distributing the testing instruments
in a manner similar to the program in which the City received the
Breathalyzer equipment. Again, there is no cost allocation required
by the City Council; however, a resolution approving a lend/lease
program for the Intoxilyzer 5000 is required.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To authorize the Mayor and
City Clerk to execute the resolution and agreement on behalf of
the City of Eagan for Intoxilyzer 5000.

MUNICIPAL STATE AID STREETS
D. Resolution Designating Municipal State Aid Streets (MSAS) --
The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department has reviewed
our annual allocation for designation of municipal state aid streets
(MSAS) for 1984. This review results in the recommendation that
Four Oaks Road from Coachman Road to Pilot Knob Road (through the
Sperry Park property) be deleted from MSAS designation due to the
fact that this road connection has been formally dropped from con-
sideration by the City Council through the approval of the Compre-
hensive Land Use Guide Plan. Taking this mileage and adding to
it the additional mileage available due to our growth. We have
designated four streets to maintain our maximum mileage designation
and resultant maintenance and construction funding assistance as
follows:

In order for these designations to be incorporated to maximize our
funding allotment, it is necessary for the Council to approve these
two resolutions pertaining to MSAS designations.

revoking and establishing certain municipal state aid streets as
indicated and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all
related documents.

GRADING PERMIT/KNOB HILL PROFESSIONAL PARK
E. Grading Permit Application, Knob Hill Professional Park (Ed
Dunn) -- We have received an application for a grading permit from
Mr. Ed Dunn to proceed with the development of the Knob Hill Profes-
sional Park. As the Council may have noticed, all the heavy con-
struction equipment has been moved onto the site in anticipation
of an early spring construction start date. All requirements
associated with the application have been submitted, reviewed and
found to be in order by staff for favorable consideration by Council
action.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve/deny the grading
permit application for the Knob Hill Professional Park as submitted
by Ed Dunn.
CONTRACT 83-01/WATER TREATMENT PLANT
F. Contract 83-01, Change Order #4, Water Treatment Plant -- Con-
tinuous research into the filter -media material to be installed
in our Water Treatment Plant has indicated that the particle sizes
specified to be furnished, may be slightly larger than desired to
optimize the cleansing action of the backwash cycle of our Water
Treatment Plant.Subsequently, our consulting engineering firm
is recommending that the specified particle size be changed which
will result in considerable savings in the operation costs of the
City Water Treatment Plant over the life of these filters due to
the fact that they will be able to be cleansed through the backwash
cycle at a faster rate and will have to be rinsed less frequently.
The net result of this change order will be an ADD of $6,312.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve/deny change order
#4 to Contract 83-01 for additional $6,312 for filter -media mate-
rial.

PROJECT 386/CANCELLATION OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
G. Project 386, Knob Hill Professional Park - Cancellation of
Public Improvement Project -- At the December 20, 1983, public
hearing for the above -referenced project, the developer for the
Knob Hill Professional Park was not sure whether he wished to pro-
ceed with the installation of these improvements under a City
contract or privately. Due to the absence of the Director of Public
Works at that particular Council meeting, the City Council was not
properly advised as to the recommended action to be taken. Sub-
sequently, the Council approved the project for installation under
a City contract instead of continuing the public hearing until the
determination could be made by the developer. Subsequently, this
project has been carried as a pending assessment on all special
assessment searches for this property due to its order for instal-
lation by Council action.
We have recently received a letter from the developer with his final
decision indicating that he wishes to proceed with this improvement
privately. Therefore, because this project was formally ordered
for installation by Council action on December 20, it is necessary
for the Council to formally cancel this project to release the
• pending assessment liens that presently exist against this property.
•
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To cancel Project 386 for
the installation of streets and utilities for the Knob Hill Profes-
sional Park and authorize the invoicing of all costs incurred to
the developer.

CARRIAGE HILLS REVENUE BOND
A. Consideration of Preliminary Resolution for a Multi -Family
Housing Development Bond Issue for Carriage Hills Apartment Project
($6 million) -- At the February 7, 1984, City Council meeting, a
public hearing was set for March 22, 1984, to consider a $6 million
multi -family housing development revenue bond issue application
submitted by Miller and Schroeder Municipals Inc. for the Carriage
Hills Apartments project. Since this type of revenue bond financing
is new -to the City Council, the Finance Committee was directed to
meet with representatives of Miller and Schroeder and review the
revenue bond program and prepare a report to the City Council for
further consideration. Due to the number of issues presented before
the City staff and City Council, it has not been possible to hold
a Finance Committee meeting regarding the proposed revenue bond
issue, and therefore, at the last regular City Council meeting,
this item was continued until the April 3 City Council meeting
allowing for a Finance Committee meeting to be scheduled. Since
the last City Council, it has been learned that the key person at
Miller and Scroeder who is the expert in the area of housing revenue
bonds will not be available to meet until after April 9, and there-
fore, it is recommended that this item be continued until the April
17 City Council meeting. The City Administrator will present addi-
tional information on this item as a part of the April 17 City
Council packet if the Finance Committee is ready to present its
facts at that time.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To open the public hearing
and continue any consideration on the issuance of housing revenue
bonds for Carriage Hills Apartments project until the Finance Com-
mittee has met and prepared their fact finding for review and con-
sideration by the City Council, which is anticipated at the April
17 City Council meeting.
Special Note: It will be necessary for the Finance Committee to
set a date during the week of April 9 through 13 to meet on this
issue.

AMENDMENT TO HOUSING PLAN
B. Amendment to Housing Plan --As a part of any future considera-
tion for a housing development revenue bond for the Carriage Hills
Apartments project, it is necessary to consider an amendment to
to the City's housing plan. As the City Council recalls, a housing
plan was presented as a part of the Comprehensive Guide Plan to
the Metropolitan Council and has been amended when the HRA organized
a $10 million bond bill with the City of West St. Paul., The
adoption of a 462C housing plan amendment is an acknowledgement
by the City that Minnesota Statute, Chapter 462C, has given Eagan
the opportunity to issue its tax exempt bonds to assist in lowering
the cost of financing for the construction or rehabilitation of
multiple dwelling structures.
The housing plan amendment as stated is to be considered by the
City Council, however, the approval can either be subject to future
authorization of the revenue bond issue for Carriage Hills Apart-
ments or the amendment can be approved in anticipation of other •
housing development revenue bond issues for multi -family housing.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny an amend-
ment to the City's housing plan as stated with the possibility of
being subject to future consideration of the multi -family housing
development revenue bond issue for the Carriage Hills project.

LONE OAK TREE
A. Lone Oak Tree -- The Lone Oak Tree is scheduled to be removed on
April 10 - 11 to specifications determined by the City. City
Councilmember Wachter and City Administrator Hedges have reviewed
the proposal of Mr. Kent Nerburn who is suggesting that a sculpture
be made using the trunk of the Lone Oak Tree. City Councilmember
Wachter is recommending that the work of at least one other person
be reviewed to determine other alternatives for the use of the Lone
Oak Tree before any final consideration is given to a sculpture.
It is anticipated that City Councilmember Wachter and the City
Administrator will have an opportunity to review the work of another
sculptor prior to the April 3 City Council meeting at which time
a full report will be presented for consideration. This item is
placed on the agenda at the request of MnDot for verification that
April 10 and 11 are acceptable dates for the removal of the tree
and further to acknowledge that there is no ceremony planned for
the removal of the tree; however, dedication of a plaque adjacent
to the new Lone Oak Tree by Trinity Lone Oak Church is anticipated
• sometime in mid-May. It seemed more appropriate to have the dedi-
cation and celebration at the time the plaque was officially dedi-
cated in memory of the Lone Oak Tree. The removal of the tree will
be a tedious process, taking approximately two days by MnDot per-
sonnel so that branches and the trunk are preserved. All members
of the public or non-profit groups who\are interested in having
a piece of the Lone Oak Tree should contact the office of the City
Administrator in writing and once a policy is formally established
by the City Council, they will be notified as to whether a piece
of the Lone Oak Tree will be made available. In the meantime, the
tree will be properly preserved in accordance with a plan set.forth
by the City and the State.
There is no action required by the City Council; however, an
acknowledgement that MnDot is scheduled to remove the tree on
October 11 and 12.

• MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
�U��F'ROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION
DATE: MARCH 20, 1984
RE: CITIZENS TASK FORCE ON PARKS —
On Monday, March 19, the Citizens Task Force on parks concluded the review
process of the Working Proposal and has concluded with a recommendation to
the City Council that it proceed with a Spring 1984 parks bond referendum.
The Committee is recommending that a two part question be proposed. Part
One would be a request for.$3,316,000. and Part Two for $1,096,000.. Attached
is a Summary Information of the Task Force recommendation which summarizes
the referendum's proposal.
May 22, 1984 is suggested as a referendum date.
Mr. Ernie Clarke of Miller and Schroeder, the City's financial bond consultant
has prepared a preliminary schedule for a proposed issue. Please be aware
that the principal amounts differ from the Task Force because of changes that
were recently made. These changes are not substantial and should closely
reflect the bonding amounts. Mr. Clarke has also prepared an estimate of
the impact of the bonds on real estate taxes for 1985. Decreases in the cost
• to the homeowner's taxes will occur each "subsequent year after 1985. This
is the result of continued City growth in commercial, industrial and residential
areas and the deduction in the principal amount. This information is an early
preliminary estimate and can be reviewed in greater detail at the joint meeting
of the City Council/Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission scheduled for
Tuesday, March 27.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED:
To receive/accept the Citizens Task Force for parks.recommendation for a Spring
parks bond referendum.
Establish May 22, 1984 as the date for a parks bond referendum:

PRELIMINARY PLAT/OAK CLIFF
A. Richard Winkler, Winkler Development, for Preliminary Plat,
Oak Cliff, Consisting of Approximately 33 Acres and Containing
75 Single Family Lots and 9 Twinhome Lots -- The Advisory Planning
Commission held a public hearing on February 28, 1984, to consider
an application submitted by Richard Winkler on behalf of Winkler
Development Company requesting preliminary plat as proval of
Oak Cliff Addition that consists of approximately 33— a -crams and
contains 75 single family lots and 9 twinhome lots (18 dwelling
units). According to the City Planner, the APC discussed and
made the following observations during the public hearing:
1) The proposed application was of a lesser density than
the 1982 approval.
2) The parcel has a density of 5.5 dwelling units per acre
and the applicant was proposing 75 single family lots
and 9 twinhome lots for a total of 93 dwelling units.
• 3) All the single family lots met the R-1. 12,000 sq. ft.
requirement and contained the 85 ft. lot width at 30
ft. setback.
4) All twinhome lots met the R-2 zoning standards.
5) The APC discussion revolved around the access and circulation
of the single family twinhome lot and the concept of
the townhouse development referenced on Outlot B.
6) After considerable discussion it was determined and recom-
mended that the cul-de-sac be allowed as proposed and
the through street should not be extended through the
townhouse portion of the development.
7) Private street in Outlot B should be constructed to City
standards of 32 ft. wide.
8) The APC acknowledged that the land is registered as Torrens
property and that the entire Winkler/Jackson development
should be platted.
9) There will be a number of outlots created with the overall
platting.
The Advisory Planning Commission is recommending approval of
• the preliminary plat application to the City Council. For addition-
al information on this item, refer to a copy of the City Planner's

SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT -.OAK CLIFF
APPLICANT: RICHARD WINKLER, WINKLER DEVELOPMENT CO
LOCATION: PART OF THE W' OF THE NA OF SECTION 31
EXISTING ZONING: PD (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: FEBRUARY 28, 1984
DATE OF REPORT: FEBRUARY 22, 1984
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted request-
ing preliminary plat approval, Oak Cliff Addition, consisting of
approximately 33 acres and containing 75 single family lots and
9 twinhome lots (18 dwelling units) in part of the W� of the NW;
of Section 31 lying westerly of Slater's Road.
ZONING AND LAND USE:
• Presently, the parcel is zoned PD under the Winkler -Jackson Plan-
ned Development. The total acreage in this planned development is
approximately 90 and has a maximum number of dwelling units of 460
to be allowed within this planned development. There is also some
commercial approved on the east side of Slater's Road and just south
of Cliff Road.
The Comprehensive Guide Plan designates this entire tract as R -II
(Mixed Residential) with a density of 3-6 dwelling units per acre.
In review of this particular plan, there is proposed 96 dwelling
units on 33 acres, or a gross density of 2.9 dwelling units per
acre. Therefore, this particular plan is within the guidelines of
the R -II, however, the Winkler -Jackson Planned Development would
supersede the Land Use Plan because of the contract in effect with
the City for this particular area.
COMMENTS
In July, 1982, the applicant entered into a planned development
agreement, the Winkler -Jackson Planned Development which consisted
of approximately 90 acres and allowed some Limited, Commercial and
Neighborhood Business use along with a maximum density of 460 dwell-
ing units to be constructed in this 90 -acre tract. This planned
development is in effect for five years and will terminate in 1987.
• In review of this particular agreement in regard to the density
factor as to whether this revised site plan requiresan amendment
to the planned development or whether this be permitted within the
31
CITY OF EAGAN •
PRELIMINARY PLAT - OAK CLIFF

context of the development agreement, in the density section of
Paragraph 6 of the planned development agreement, it relates to
the maximum density allowed of 460 dwelling units which cannot be
exceeded within the Winkler -Jackson Planned Development. The last
paragraph in the density section of the planned development agree-
ment states that the developer has the sole discretion to develop
at a lower density than what has been approved in the planned de-
velopment agreement. Therefore, it is staff's interpretation that
the planned development spells out the option that the developer
is developing at a lesser density, therefore, no amendment to the
planned development agreement is required.
As you may recall in 1983, there was a preliminary plat submitted
for a small portion of this area to be developed as townhouses and
an overall concept as to how this outlot could develop in an over-
all townhouse theme and shifting the balance, or the 102-104 dwell-
ing units not constructed (the maximum allowed), to Outlot A for
a garden apartment -condominium. This concept was approved with the
details to be reviewed when that phase of the plan develops.
It is staff's understanding that the plan mentioned in the paragraph •
above is no longer the intention of the applicant or developer.
Since the plan was approved, it had been determined that the pro-
ject is unfeasible to construct due to the costs of the project.
Therefore, the applicant has withdrawn the original preliminary
plat and has now submitted a new preliminary plat changing the use
and developing at the lower density than what was originally approv-
ed.
The plat submitted for the February 28, 1984 Advisory Planning Com-
mission meeting would consist of approximately 33 acres and would
contain 75 single family lots and 9 twinhome lots (18 units) for a
total of 96 dwelling units. The applicant has also submitted in
concept form that an additional 34 townhouse units be constructed
north of the existing plat and also that Outlot A remain as a 102-
104 dwelling unit garden apartment area. The total density for this
plat would now be at 231 dwelling units, or 77 dwelling units less
than what was originally approved.
In review of the single family portion of the development, the ap-
plicant is proposing to construct 75 single family lots of which
all lots meet the minimum 12,000 square foot lot size requirement
and a minimum of 85' lot width at the 30' setback. Therefore, the
single family portion of the plat meets all R-1 zoning standards
and conformswith the R-1 lot size requirements. The applicant has
also met all of the square footage and lot width requirements for •
the R-2 lots which would be 9 lots or 18 dwelling units. These
lots would be at the very northerly edge of the plat being a buffer
between the townhouse or higher density and the single family de-
velopment.

PRELIMINARY PLAT - OAK CLIFF
FEBRUARY 28, 1984

The applicant is proposing to provide a curvilineal loop street de-
sign to provide access to the single family lots. The applicant is
proposing two accesses to Slater's Road - one stub street connection
to the south and one cul-de-sac which would separate the single fami-
ly use from the townhouse use on the very northwesterly portion of
the plat. There has been some discussion in regard to connecting
this cul-de-sac and providing a looped street north and running
through the townhouse portion to Slater's Road. However, due to
the topography or elevation difference and land use difference, it
appears that it would be more suitable to provide the cul-de-sac
than to provide the through street connection.
In reviewing this preliminary plat, there appears to be one factor
which becomes a problem in platting this particular property. Pre-
sently, the property is recorded under the Torrens system, and once
you begin to plat Torrens property, you have to convert the entire
tract from the Torrens description into outlots in order to keep
track of the entire parcel. Once the outlots have been establish-
ed, then each of the outlots can then be resubdivided into a lot
and block configuration. However, you cannot take just a portion
• of this plat and convert it to lots and blocks and leave the rest
as Torrens or unrecorded property. Therefore, the applicant is
platting 14.58 acres into lots and blocks which would consist of
the first phase of the development containing 31 single family lots
and 8 twinhome lots (16 dwelling units). Even though the entire
tract is being set up in outlots, the plat is only consisting of
the lots and blocks mentioned in this paragraph. The second phase
would be the remainder or 50 single family lots and one twinhome
lot (2 dwelling units) which would be Outlot A of the proposed plat.
Outlots B and C and F are the other outlots which have been estab-
lished and would develop in the townhouse or higher density as agreed
to in the planned development agreement. Outlots D and E are the two
commercial outlots which would then be replatted once the applicant
starts the commercial portion of the development plan.
If approved, the preliminary plat and planned development shall be
subject to the following conditions:
1) The total density on the planned development shall be reduced
by 77 dwelling units for the Outlot B portion or the area west
of Slater's Road. The new density number for this area west
of Slater's Road should be 231 dwelling units total vs. the
56.56 acres X 5.5 dwelling units per acre.
2) All lots being platted shall meet the minimum R-1 and R-2
zoning standards.
• 3) The 34 townhouse units proposed on the north be approved
only in concept and that a detailed review will be done at
the time this area is platted.

• MEMO TO: THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE,
CITY PLANNER
FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
DATE: FEBRUARY 22, 1984
SUBJECT: OAK CLIFF ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department has the
following comments regarding this proposed development for consid-
eration by the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council.
DRAINAGE/TOPOGRAPHY
The existing topography of this proposed development is very hilly
and wooded. Slopes range from 28 to 258. Most of this area is
well drained with the general drainage being towards the north in-
to Pond AP -10 as shown in Figure 1. However, due to its hilly na-
ture, there are two small depressions located in the proximity of
Lot 9, Block 2 and Lot 5, Block 4. Presently, Pond AP -10 does not
have any outlet to control the water elevation. The Master -Drain-
age Plan indicates a lift station will be required to pump excess
storm water to the southeast into Pond AP -19 which does have a
positive outlet.
• The proposed grading for this development will not significantly
alter any existing drainage patterns. It will, however, utilize
the previously mentioned depressions as storm water detention ponds.
This is acceptable providing outlets to these ponds are constructed.
Furthermore, due to the steep slopes found over this area, a detail-
ed grading and erosion control plan must be submitted for review
and approval by staff.
UTILITIES
Utilities of sufficient size, depth and capacity exist within the
proximity of this proposed development to service it. A 12" trunk
water main is in place along Slater's Road from Cliff Road midway
to this property where it then turns into an 8" water main along
the remaining portion of this property. Sanitary sewer is repre-
sented by an 8" line in place along Slater's Road from Cliff Road
to approximately the midpoint of this parcel. Also, an 8" sani-
tary sewer is available at the intersection of James Street and
Slater's Road. Storm sewer is provided along Slater's Road from
the south boundary of this proposed development to approximately
600' north. The relationship of these existing utilities is more
clearly illustrated in Figure 2. It should be noted that the storm
sewer previously mentioned is designed to handle only the runoff
for Slater's Road, and it.does not include runoff from this devel-
• opment.

ENGINEERING REPORT
OAK CLIFF ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT •
FEBRUARY 22, 1984
PAGE TWO
All internal utilities will be the responsibility of this develop-
ment to provide. In addition to the sanitary sewer and water main,
it will be this development's responsibility to install storm sewer
outlets to the previously mentioned depressions they are intending
to utilize as detention ponds. The outlets for these ponds must be
directed towards Pond AP -10 since the storm sewer in Slater's Road
is not sized to accommodate any additional flows other than off the
immediate roadway.
STREETS
Slater's Road is the existing street which provides access to this
parcel. It is under the City's jurisdiction and has been construct-
ed to its ultimate 44 -foot wide community collector street design.
Cliff Road (County Road 32) borders the northern boundary of this
parcel and is under the jurisdiction of Dakota County. Subsequent-
ly, no access would be provided off of it.
Access to the residential portion of this proposed development is
via internal streets .off of Slater's Road. The internal street
layout is well conceived to provide for traffic movement and future
access to the south. However, in our never ending quest to elimi-
nate all dead-end streets such as proposed for the townhouse area, •
staff recommends eliminating the cul-de-sac in the residential area
and extending the street to the north through the townhouse area
and subsequently connecting to Slater's Road.. Although the topogra-
phy between the townhouse development and the residential develop-
ment is rather difficult, it would not be prohibitive from making
this connection. Subsequently, staff believes any disadvantages
caused by construction would outweighed by the advantage of provid-
ing two accesses to the proposed townhouse development, since it
would eliminate an approximately 1,000 -foot dead-end private street.
RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS
All right-of-way has been provided for Slater's Road and Cliff Road.
Right-of-way shall be dedicated within this plat for all public
streets and shall be a minimum of 60 feet.
In addition to the regular utility easements adjacent public right-
of-way and lot lines, a ponding easement shall be dedicated for
Pond AP -10 and the two small detention ponds previously mentioned.
A 20 -foot utility easement will be required to be centered over the
lot line between Lots 1 and 2 of Block 4 and a 15 -foot utility ease-
ment to be centered over the lot lines between Lot 5 and 6 of Block
6 should the extention of the public street not be approved by the
Planning Commission. In addition, utility and drainage easements
of sufficient width shall be provided over the lot lines which are •
utilized for the installation of storm sewer laterals for this de-
velopment.

ASSESSMENTS
All trunk related assessments have been levied over this parcel.
However, the trunk area assessment for storm sewer was assessed
at the single family rate and should be upgraded to the multi-
family.rate for the townhouse portion. This may be accomplished
at the time of development of phase three. .Otherwise, all costs
for internal utilities and streets will be the sole responsibili-
ty of,this development.
I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report with the
Advisory Planning Commission at their meeting of February 28,
1984.

HOLIES ADDITION - PAM HOLMES - PRELIM!fNARY PLAT
The Chairmanext convened the hearing cerning the application for
preliminary plat app val of Holmes Additi , consisting of approximately 1
acre and containing two ngle family to , located in part of the NW 1/4 of
the NW 1/4 of Section 10, ng north Quarry Lane and Towerview Road. The
Chairman then turned it over to e C y Planner for presentation of the staff
report. The Planner gave the ge al location and what the applicant was
proposing to do - subdivide appr ima y 1 acre into two single family lots.
He noted that it has been re ewed by a Department of Natural Resources
because of its proximity to May Lake and a noted that two variances would
be required. There were everal questions fr the audience regarding this
subdivision, and the anning Commission had so concerns regarding the
assessments and how a upgrading of the street would feet this parcel. The
Advisory Planning mmission members noted that they we unclear as to what
has been const cted and what hasn't and wanted a full report as to what
construction s taken place and what would be required with this development.
Upon motio by McCrea, seconded Wilkins, it was resolved to continue the
applicat n until the March 27, 1984 Advisory Planning Commission meeting.
All vote yes.
• OAK CLIFF - YffiCLER DEVELOPMENT - PRELIMINARY PLAY
The hearing regarding the application of Richard Winkler and Winkler
Development Company for preliminary plat approval of Oak Cliff was convened by
Chairman Chuck Hall. Dale Runkle, City Planner, explained that the develop-
ment would consist of 33 acres and contain 75 single family lots and nine twin
home lots with 18 dwelling units on the west side of Slater's Road in Winkler
Jackson Planned Development. The Guide Plan provides for R -II with a density
of 3 to 6 units per acre and the proposed gross density will be 2.9 dwelling
units per acre. The developer has the discretion to develop at a lower
density and it was noted that in 1983 a preliminary plat application was
submitted proposing to shift the balance of the density to Outlet A for a
garden apartment condominium project. That application has been withdrawn.
An additional 34 townhouse units are proposed to be constructed north of the
existing plat and also that Outlet A remain as a 102 to 104 dwelling unit
garden apartment area. All single family lots would be over the minimum
12,000 square feet and all would conform with the intent to retain as many
trees and the natural topography as possible. Ralph Wagner and Richard
Winkler were present and Mr. Winkler briefly discussed the project.. There
were no comments from the audience. The cul-de-sac was an issue and the staff
recommended that it be extended northerly through the single family and town-
house area. The developer was concerned about the unnecessary cutting of
trees and also stated that steep terrain is involved. Chairman Hall objected
to the City making a decision concerning whether to eliminate a cul-de-sac and
that the City should not be imposing its will on developers where there are
• adequate reasons to allow cul-de-sacs. Rich Hefti discussed the public safety
issues and the need for direct access where, in this case, only one access
would be provided from the townhouse development to Slater's Road.
3 S r
APC Minutes
February 28, 1984
There was discussion concerning possibly widening the access road into
the townhouse area which would make it more desirable with e.g. a 32 foot
improved roadway. Member Wilkins had questions about the buffer along the
west line and Mr. Winkler stated that a neighborhood meeting had been held and
there is not intended to be any disturbance along the back lot lines of the
westerly lying lots. Modification of the planned development agreement should

The hearing regarding the a kation of Northland Mortgage Company for
preliminary plat approval of Lex ton Square, consisting of 132.11 acres with
373 single family lots propos d, lus an additional 3 lots, most of which •
would deviate from the R-1 zo ing st ndards. The location of the property is
in the northwest quarter of/Section 3, south of Wescott Road, and at the
southeast intersection of escott Ro d and Lexington Avenue. Mr. Runkle
stated the parcel is zone R-2, Mixed Residential, and that the zoning was
changed from R-3 to R-2 1 February of 1984. The Land Use Guide designates it
as R -II. The plan con ins 2.82 dwelling units per gross acre and 3.72
dwelling units per net ere. The smallest proposed lot would be 7,000 square
feet with an average t size of 11,707 square feet. 25 lots meet the R-1
square footage requir ent and lot width requirement and 30 foot setback with
350 single family to which would deviate most�in lot width and slightly in
lot area from the -1 zoning standards. Garrett Mulrooney stated that he
would not particip to in discussion and would abstain from voting because his
law firm represe is Northland Mortgage from time\to time. Two exceptions

EXISTING ZONING: R-1 (RESIDENTIAL SINGLE DISTRICT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: FEBRUARY 28, 1984
DATE OF REPORT: FEBRUARY 23, 1984
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted request-
ing preliminary plat approval, Rose Hill Addition, consisting of
approximately 12.4 acres and containing 14 single family lots lo-
cated on Lots 1-4, Jon Croft Acres and Lot 1, Block 1, Blackhawk
Hills Addition in Sections 16 and 17.
COMMENTS
Presently, Mrs. Kyllo lives on the property where proposed Lot 3
of the Rose Hill Addition is located. It is staff's understanding
that Mrs. Kyllo can no longer maintain the property and wishes to
subdivide the property into single family lots.
The application submitted consists of a preliminary plat which would
contain 14 single family lots. Access to 13 of the lots would be
off of Kyllo Lane via a cul-de-sac constructed on the existing drive-
way. This cul-de-sac would be upgraded to a fullsize City street
and meet all the standards of City street requirements. There is
one lot which is accessible from Blackhawk Hills Circle. The only
issue which may come into effect is that the street or grade is
steep, and it is staff's understanding that the street will be ap-
proximately 88 or less therefore meeting all of the requirements.
All lots exceed the R-1 zoning requirements. They run approximate-
ly 1/2 acre or larger. There are only four that are under the half
acre lot size in the proposed plat.
The applicant is also proposing to plat Lot 9 of Rose Hill Addition
because it is property that he does own and did acquire when Black -
hawk Hills Addition was constructed. He acquired Lot 9 to make sure
he was able to get sanitary sewer from Blackhawk Hills Addition to
this particular development. Therefore, he is requesting to plat
Lot 9 also in regard to this development request. It is staff's
• understanding that there is a covenant in Blackhawk Hills Addition
that all lots must meet 1 acre lot size requirement. The applicant
RE

has replatted Lot 9 even though it is an odd shaped configuration of
a parcel, but nevertheless does meet or exceed the 1 -acre lot size
requirement.
In looking at the plat, there are a number of 40' wide strips which
abut the southerly line of the plat. These 40' strips are platted
in order to give different lots access to Blackhawk Lake. That is
the reason for the platting of this configuration.
If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the follow-
ing conditions:
1) The grade of Knoll Ridge Drive should be within City standards.
2) All other City ordinances shall be met.

• MEMO TO: THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE,
CITY PLANNER
FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
DATE: FEBRUARY 22, 1984
SUBJECT: ROSE HILL ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department has the
following comments in regard to this proposed development for con-
sideration by the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council.
GRADING/TOPOGRAPHY
This site borders Blackhawk Lake on the south and Blackhawk Hills
Addition on the east, and subsequently, is situated over some of
the more rugged terrain in Eagan. The entire site slopes steeply
towards the south and Blackhawk Lake. Slopes over this parcel
range from 108-308. An elevation difference of approximately 90
feet exists from Kyllo Lane to the normal water level of Blackhawk
Lake. In addition to the rugged terrain, much of this site is
covered by evergreen and hardwood trees.
In grading the lots to provide for buildable sites, several back-
yard slopes will approach 2:1. Since these slopes are the maximum
• allowed by code, staff will recommend strict adherence to an approv-
ed erosion control plan submitted as a condition of final plat ap-
proval. This plan should also incorporate methods of anchoring
vegetative material to prevent washouts prior to the vegetative
materials' growth. Examples of stabilizing these slopes would be
staking and sodding, placing erosion mats such as plastic netting
or wood fiber blankets over seed and mulch or other acceptable
methods of slope stabilization.
Meanwhile, all drainage over this proposed development will remain
towards Blackhawk Lake. Street drainage will be directed to an in-
ternal storm sewer which will be discharged into Blackhawk Lake.
Although Blackhawk Lake is DNR controlled, no permits will be re-
quired as long as the storm sewer outlet is above the normal ordi-
nary high water elevation.
UTILITIES
Utilities of sufficient size, capacity and depth exist within the
proximity of this proposed development to provide service to it as
shown on Figure 2. This development has access to an 18" trunk
water main to the north located within Kyllo Lane and a 6" water
main located within Blackhawk Cove. Access to sanitary sewer will
be provided from the existing manhole located within Blackhawk Cove.
This entire area will have to be served by the existing lift sta-
tion in Blackhawk Cove which pumps waste water to the northeast
along Blackhawk Cove to where it discharges to a gravity sanitary
sewer line. This existing sanitary sewer lift station is capable
W
ENGINEERING REPORT
ROSE HILL ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT •
FEBRUARY 22, 1984
PAGE TWO
of directing the additional flow from this proposed development to
the gravity sewer within Blackhawk Cove.
Staff recommends the water main be looped from the existing trunk
water main within Kyllo Lane to the existing 6" water main within
Blackhawk Cove as proposed by this development.
If installed privately, plans and specifications for utility in-
stallation shall be in accordance with the City's Engineering Guide-
lines and prepared by a registered engineer. No construction may
begin until final plat approval.
STREETS
An existing street providing access to this parcel is the intersec-
tion of Kyllo Lane and Knoll Ridge Drive. Both -streets are under
the jurisdiction of the City and are built to their ultimate design
section of 32' wide bituminous surfaced with concrete curb and gut-
ter.
The access to the interior of this development would be obtained by
extending Knoll Ridge Drive to the south and terminating it by way
of a cul-de-sac. The length of this cul-de-sac is approximately •
540 feet which is just under the allowable 550 -foot length as de-
termined by code. The street would be constructed to City standards.
If this street is to be installed privately, then plans and specifi-
cations shall be prepared by a registered engineer in accordance with
the City's guidelines and submitted to the Engineering Department
for approval.
RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS
The 50' right-of-way being proposed for the public street will be
adequate as long as this development adheres to its proposed grad-
ing plan. For a 50' publicly -dedicated right-of-way to be feasible
within this rugged topography, it is essential the 10' utility ease-
ments adjacent the right-of-way be graded and cleared of trees as
proposed in the preliminary grading plan. The reason for this is
to provide adequate room for utilities such as gas, electric, tele-
phone and cable television.
In addition to typical dedicated easements along the platted right-
of-way and all lot lines, right-of-ways of sufficient width will be
required over all utility lines not located within public right-of-
way. Staff recommends a minimum of a 15' wide easement over all
utility lines except where they are combined as the water and sani-
tary sewer cross the southern boundary of Lot 9. In this instance,
staff recommends a 30' easement be dedicated. •

• ENGINEERING REPORT
ROSE HILL ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
FEBRUARY 22, 1984
PAGE THREE
In addition to the utility easements, a ponding easement will be
required to incorporate the high water elevation of Blackhawk Lake
as it affects Lots 1-9.
ASSESSMENTS
The assessments which will be required to be collected at the time
of final plat approval include storm sewer trunk assessments which
were deferred over Parcels 011-00,020-00, 030-00 and 640-00. These
are summarized in the following table:
DEFERRED ASSESSMENT SUMMARY TABLE
PARCEL # ASSESSMENT AMOUNT
10-18600-011-00 Trunk storm sewer area $2,339.37
020-00 1,525.92
030-00 964.92
040-00 605.88
is In addition, Lots 1-4 of Jon Croft Acres were initially assessed on
a per lot basis for trunk area sanitary sewer and water main. City
assessment policy requires that each subsequent subdivision result-
ing in an additional lot be required to pay a per lot assessment for
trunk area water main and sanitary sewer. Therefore, since this pro-
posed development consists of 14 lots, the trunk area sewer and wa-
ter assessment shall be levied over 10 lots (14 minus 4). These
assessments shall be determined at the rate in effect at the time
of final plat approval. Presently, the 1984 rater& on a per lot ba-
sis for these trunk area assessments are $535.00or both trunk san-
itary sewer and trunk water main. .The above referenced assessments
will:be the responsibility of this proposed development and may be
either paid at the time of final platting or spread as a special
assessment over this development. Nonetheless, all costs required
for installation of public improvements for this proposed develop-
ment shall be the sole responsibility of this proposed development.
I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report in detail
with the Planning Commission at the February 28, 1984 meeting.

ROSE HILL ADDITION - PRELnQNARY PLAT
The hearing regarding the application of Howard Kyllo for preliminary
plat approval of Rose Hill Addition consisting of 12.4 acres and containing 14
single family lots located on Lots 1 through 4, John Croft Acres and Lot 1,
Block 1, Blackhawk Hills Addition was next convened. Dale Runkle presented
the proposal to the Planning Commission members, including the replat of Lot
• 1, Block 1, Blackhawk Hills Addition, which had been purchased by Mr. Kyllo.
He noted that the topography of the lots is in excess of the R-1 standards in
some cases. James Hill and Howard Kyllo were present and several neighboring
owners also were present. A neighborhood meeting.had been held and those
neighbors present had no objections, although one was concerned about poten-
tial loss of trees. George Bohlig of Blackhawk Hills Addition questioned
about storm sewer capacity and staff indicated it was adequately sized. Mr.
Bohlig also had a concern about retaining the covenant of the Blackhawk Hills
Addition lot and Mr. Kyllo stated there would be no change. Member Merkley
questioned the steepness of the street grade and it was noted that there
appeared to be no alternate to the steep grade of 8% or less. Wold moved,
Wilkins seconded the motion to recommend approval of the application, subject
to the following stipulations:
1. The grade of Knoll Ridge Drive shall be within City standards.
2. All other City ordinances shall be met.

PRELIMINARY PLAT/LEXINGTON SQUARE
C. Ronald C. Helmer, Northland Mortgage Company, for Preliminary
Plat, Lexington Square, Consisting of Approximately 132 Acres
and Containing 369 Single Family Lots -- A public hearing was
held by the Advisory Planning Commission at their last regular
meeting held on February 28, 1984, to consider an application
submitted by Northland Mortgage Company for a preliminary plat
entitled Lexington Square, consisting of approximately 132.11
acres that contains 372 single family lots that deviate from
the R-1 zoning standards. The Advisory Planning Commission
is recommending qpZ oval of this item to the City Council.
The Advisory Planning Commission spent considerable time and
the issues that were reviewed by the APC are best summarized
by the City Planner in the APC Afternoon After. The following
is an excerpt of that report:
Discussion and Action
• The Advisory Planning Commission reviewed the preliminary plat,
Lexington Square, noting that the agenda had advertised the
development consisting of 369 single family units. This should
be amended to allow 373 dwelling units.
In review of the staff report, the Advisory Planning Commission
went through a great deal of time and effort to review this pre-
liminary plat. As stated, it consists of 132 acres which is a
very large single family plat and would contain 373 single family .
lots which would be phased over the next few years. The first
item reviewed by the Planning Commission was access to Lexington
Square preliminary plat. In this review, it was noted that Lex-
ington Avenue and Wescott Road are collector streets where limited
access is allowed. In reviewing Northview Park Road according to
the Transportation Plan, it also appeared that this would be pro-
posed as a Neighborhood Collector -Community Collector and have
limited access. In a detailed review of trip generation for North -
view Park Road, it was determined that the road could be construct-
ed as a collector but given the definition of Neighborhood Collect-
or where direct access could be allowed. Therefore, the Advisory
Planning Commission is reviewing a policy change for interior col-
lector streets where direct access now could be allowed vs. in the
past, in construction of such roads as Wilderness Run Road, Thomas
Lake Road and Covington Lane. Therefore, the Planning Commission
is stating that this interior collector will now be allowed to have
direct access and serve a function as a neighborhood street along
• with a neighborhood collector street.

The Planning Commission also noted that the proposed application is •
for single family development which deviates from the R-1 zoning
standards. The Commission noted that the smallest lot originally
proposed contained 7,000 square feet. The applicants indicated that
this will be increased to 8,700 square ft., and the overall average
for the plat would be 11,707 square feet. In review of this plat,
the Planning Commission noted that 300 lots would be the approximate
size of the lots in Cedar Grove. They had noted also that original-
ly smaller lots were proposed at 60 ft. in other areas and now they
have increased to 75 ft., and felt 75 ft. would be a good workable
lot width for this development proposal. They also noted that the
topography and terrain is very level and untreed which would also
substantiate the type of development being requested. The Planning
Commission was concerned regarding the backyards abutting Wescott
Road and noted that the elevation differences would not substanti-
ate berms, however, was suggesting landscaping be done. In turn,
they had reviewed this aspect of landscaping and noted that when
Wescott Road is upgraded, it would become an urban section of roadway
and therefore more easily landscaped and maintainable by the resi-
dential lot owner. With a lot of discussion, they moved away from
an overall landscape plan requesting landscaping along the Wescott
and Lexington Avenue corridors. The Planning Commission also re-
viewed the lot size and the price of the development. It was noted
that the price range for the single family lot and home would be
approximately $85,000-595,000 and it would be a very nice develop-
ment.
The last issue the Commission discussed was in regard to drainage
and they noted that all of the drainage could not go north, how-
ever, a majority could. They also requested that a certain amount
be allowed to go southerly. With these concerns and reviews, the
Planning Commission recommended approval of the preliminary plat
subject to the conditions in the staff report with the exceptions
and modifications of Condition No. 4 which should read that, "lot
size deviations be approved in accordance with the preliminary
plat submitted. The proposed minimum lot size shall be 8,700 so.
ft. and that the developer establish an architectural review board
to review the homes being constructed on the individual lots." No.
5 be modified to read that, "an additional access be provided to
the east by extending Kettle Creek Court to Kettle Creek Drive
stubbing at the easterly property line." No. 8 be modified to
state instead of "all drainage over this proposed development shall
be directed to the north," that "Lots 24-34, Block 9, and Lots 20-
38, Block 12, be allowed to drain southerly." Condition No. 11
in the Engineering Report was eliminated and a new condition add-
ed at the end stated that, "the developer reduce the total number
of dwelling units in the Planned development so as to only allow
373 dwelling units on this parcel and that there be no credit for
dwelling units of this parcel to any other portion of the planned
development.

CITY OF EAGAN
SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY PLAT - LEXINGTON SQUARE
APPLICANT: RONALD C. HELMER, NORTHLAND MORTGAGE CO.
LOCATION: PART OF THE NA OF SECTION 23
EXISTING ZONING: PD (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT UNDER THE LEXINGTON
SOUTH PLANNED DEVELOPMENT)
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: FEBRUARY 28, 1984
DATE OF REPORT: FEBRUARY 22, 1984
REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: An application has been submitted request-
ing a preliminary plat, Lexington Square, which consists of approx-
imately 132.11 acres and would contain 372 single family lots which
deviate from the R-1 zoning standards located in part of the NW; of
Section 23 south of Wescott Road, east of Lexington Avenue (County
Road 43) and north of Northview Park Road.
• ZONING AND LAND USE: Presently, the parcel is zoned R -II (Mixed
Residential) with a density of 3-6 dwelling units per acre under
the Lexington South Planned Development. This parcel was amended
for a change from R -III (Mixed Residential with a density of 6-12
dwelling units per acre) to R -II (Mixed Residential with a density
of 3-6 dwelling units per acre)in February, 1984. The proposed Land
Use Guide also designates this parcel as R -II (Mixed Residential
with a density of 3-6 dwelling units per acre).
The proposed plan contains 2.82 dwelling units per gross acre and
3.72 dwelling units per net acre. Therefore, the proposed plan is
consistent with the low range of both the existing zoning and the
proposed Land Use Guide Plan.
COMMENTS
The application submitted is a preliminary plat of 372 single fami-
ly lots. The proposed single family lots deviate from the R-1 zon-
ing standards. The smallest lot size proposed is 7,000 square feet
and the average lot size is 11,707 square feet. There are 25 lots
which meet both the R-1 square footage requirement and lot width
requirement at the 30' setback line. Therefore, there are approxi-
mately 350 single family lots which deviate mostly in lot width and
slightly in lot area from the R-1 zoning standards.
• TRAFFIC CIRCULATION
As stated earlier, the plat abuts Lexington Avenue on the west and
Wescott Road on the north. Both roads are major collector streets
and would allow limited access to this development. The proposed
-77

PRELIMINARY PLAT - LEXINGTON SQUARE •
FEBRUARY 28, 1984
PAGE TWO
plat contains a curvilineal design where lots have double frontage
on Lexington Avenue and Wescott Road. The Northview Park Road on
the south was originally proposed to also have double frontage or
limited access. However, due to definition, it is suggested that
Northview Park Road be a neighborhood collector street which would
allow direct access to this particular road. In review of the Sub-
division Ordinance, this road then could have a proposed right-of-
way of 66 feet vs. the 80 feet being dedicated.
Also, in review of the definition of roads in the plat, Savannah
Road could also be reduced from a 60' right-of-way to a 50' right-
of-way which would define a local interior street. The applicant
is proposing two access points off Lexington Avenue and one access
point off Wescott Road. The internal circulation is a curvilineal
design that loopsand 6 cul-de-sacs to provide access to the 132
acres. The applicant is also providing two stub streets to the
east. Staff may suggest that an additional stub street be provid-
ed south of Kettle Creek Court for development opportunities for
the property to the east.
The one item staff would like to point out at this time is again
in regard to Northview Park Road. In the past, the City has been
requiring that an 80' right-of-way be dedicated and limited access •
to this road be the standard for the community or interior collect-
or. This road would provide the same function as Wilderness Run
Road, Covington Lane, and Thomas Lake Road which have all been con-
structed to these standards with limited or restricted access. This
Northview Park Road provides the same spacing requirement as in the
past, however, we are now indicating that this road be defined as a
neighborhood collector and would allow direct access to this type
of roadway. The benefit in allowing direct access to this neighbor-
hood collector is that it eliminates approximately 30 lots from hav-
ing double frontage or constructing a road which cannot be used by
a particular subdivision. Therefore, a policy question is being
reviewed and looked at, and it is suggested that the half mile, or
interior collector streets, be labeled or defined as neighborhood
and would allow direct access to these collector streets. Also, ac-
cording to Chapter 13 of the Eagan City Code, a neighborhood collect-
or would only then require a 66 -foot right-of-way dedication vs. the
80 feet which is being proposed.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
In this proposed plat, there were two exceptions. The first excep-
tion was in the approximate center of the development proposal.
This exception has now been changed to an outlot, or labeled Outlot
A in the plat. The applicant has worked with the property owner of
Outlot A and has determined how Outlot A could be developed in the •
future in accordance with this development plan. As you can see, a
sketched in area as to how Outlot A could be subdivided has been
shown to maximize the use and conform with the surrounding develop-
ment.

The second issue is in regard to the exception in the northwest cor-
ner of the plat. It is staff's understanding that this exception
has been sold to a church and would develop at a later date. At the
present time, the zoning or use has not been approved by the City,
but the acreage has been sold to the church prior to platting the
property. Secondly, is if and when the church does propose devel-
opment, we will seeing direct access from Lexington Avenue and Wes-
cott Road to this facility. Therefore, the use would be isolated
from this particular development.
In review of the topography and vegetation, the area has a fairly
flat or barely rolling topography which would allow for the smaller
lot configuration. Also, the vegetation on the site is farmland
. which has been farmed, and that vegetation or trees are scarce
or scattered slightly throughout the development. Therefore, topog-
raphy and vegetation would not be a hindrance to this type of devel-
opment request.
In regard to this proposed plat, the Planning Commission will have
to review this plat in regard to the criteria set up for reviewing
the smaller lots or lots which deviate from the R-1 standards in
• regard to topography and vegetation, general location and surround-
ing land uses, and the proposed grading plan showing the type of
unit and unit elevation on each of the lots noting that each lot
will support a dwelling unit. It should be noted that if this plan
is accepted, that this grading and house -type plan will be part of
the development contract and held to in regard to type of house on
the lots proposed.
If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following
conditions:
1) The plat should be subject to Dakota County Plat Commission's
review and comment because the plat abuts a County road.
2) No variances for setback or lot coverage shall be allowed ex-
cept for topographic and vegetation reasons.
3) The City approve the policy on neighborhood collector streets.
4) Lot size deviations be approved in accordance with the prelim-
inary plat submitted. The proposed building plans meet all
of the setback requirements of the R-1 zoning district.
5) An additional access be provided to the east somewhere south
of Kettle Creek Court or extend Kettle Creek Court east for
an additional access.
• 6) All other City Code requirements shall be adhered to.

• MEMO TO: THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE,
CITY PLANNER
FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
DATE: FEBRUARY 23, 1984
SUBJECT: LEXINGTON SQUARE ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Engineering Division of the Department of Public works has the
following comments regarding this proposed development for consid-
eration by the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council.
TOPOGRAPHY/DRAINAGE
This proposed development is located east of Lexington Avenue and
south of Wescott Road in Section 23. The existing topography con-
sists of rolling farmland. The slopes over this topography range
from 28 to 408. Subsequently, grading affecting any of the steep
slopes must strictly adhere to a grading and erosion control plan
submitted to and approved by staff. This proposed development is
located within Drainage District J which is further subdivided in-
to minor drainage districts as depicted in Figure 1. Drainage from
approximately the northern 2/3 of this proposed development is to
be directed into trunk storm sewer which eventually outlets into
• Pond JP -11 (Hurley Lake). A positive outlet control is presently
being constructed for -this pond. Since no trunk storm sewer fac-
ilities exist within this proposed development, it will be neces-
sary to construct the necessary trunk lines east from Lexington
Avenue to Pond JP -30 which is located within the northeast portion
of this proposed development.
According to the Storm Sewer Master Plan, approximately the southern
1/3 of this proposed development is to be drained to the south. How-
ever, this proposes a problem since the pond which is to accommodate
this runoff is located within the City park as Pond JP -34. This pond
presently has no positive outlet and floods during heavy rainfalls.
Therefore, staff does not recommend adding any additional runoff from
future developed areas to this pond until an outlet for this pond is
constructed. At this time, there are no plans for such construction.
Subsequently, in order to develop phase two and three of this propos-
ed development, the drainage water will have to be redirected to the
north and to Pond JP -30, if this development wishes to pursue its
aggresive development schedule. Other than possibly adjusting the
outflow from Pond JP -30, this redirection of runoff will not cause
any downstream problems since JP -11 is its ultimate designation.
UTILITIES
At this time, the only utility existing in proximity of this pro-
posed development is a 12" trunk water main at the intersection of
Wescott Road and Lexington Avenue. However, Project 361 has been
approved and bids will soon be accepted for construction of a trunk
rRzt..

sanitary sewer to the west line of the Westbury Addition, west of
Lexington Avenue. Project 396 has been approved and plans and spec-
ifications are being prepared for bidding purposes to extend this
sanitary sewer trunk line to Lexington Avenue to provide service to
this proposed development. In addition, Project 396 also provides
for trunk storm sewer from JP -11 (Hurley Lake) to Lexington Avenue
to provide for trunk storm sewer facilities for this proposed de-
velopment.
All internal utilities, with the exception of City -installed trunk
water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer, will be the sole responsi-
bility of this development. If these utilities are to be install-
ed privately, then plans and specifications must be prepared by a
registered engineer in accordance with City design guidelines
and submitted to staff for approval. As per City policy, all
interior water mains shall be looped. No dead-end water mains will
be allowed unless they will be utilized for future extensions.'
STREETS
Wescott Road borders this proposed development along the north, •
Northview Park Road borders the westerly half of this proposed de-
velopment along the south, and Lexington Avenue borders this�pro-
posed development along the west. Wescott Road is presently 'a
gravel surfaced road 24' wide. In the City's Master Thoroughfare
Plan, Wescott Road is designated to be a minor arterial road, 52'
wide with no direct access. Northview Park Road is designated on
the Master Thoroughfare Plan as a neighborhood collector road.
Presently, it is gravel road with a thin layer of seal coat over
it. As a neighborhood collector street, Northview Park Road will
be 44' wide.
Staff recommends revising the internal street layout to eliminate
the Danbury Court cul-de-sac and extend it through to Stony Point
Road. Similarly, the Kettle Creek Court cul-de-sac should be elim-
inated and extended to the east property line to provide the access
point requested by the City Planner in his report. The remaining
cul-de-sacs appear to be necessary evils since they are not as read-
ily adaptable into through streets as the two previously mentioned
cul-de-sacs were.
All interior streets shall be constructed to City standards
for a 32' wide residential street. Due to the status of Wescott
Road and Northview Park Road as minor arterial and neighborhood
community streets respectively, City policy will require this
development to be responsible for construction of both trailways. •
The bituminous pathway required -for Lexington. Avenue is the
responsibility of the development to the west, Westbury Addition.
Also, a 5' concrete sidewalk along the east side of Lexington
Avenue will be the responsibility of this development.

RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS
A 50' half public right-of-way will be required to be dedicated for
Wescott Road. A 55' half right-of-way will be required to be dedi-
cated for Lexington Avenue. A 35' half right-of-way will be reaui'r-
ed to be platted for Northview Park Road. Savannah Road and Danbury
Trail shall have 60' platted right-of-ways while the remaining
streets shall have 50' platted right-of-ways. In addition to the
regular 10' utility easements adjacent public right-of-way and the
5' drainage and utility easements adjacent all lot lines, a ponding
and utility easement will be required over Pond JP -30 to incorporate
the high water elevation. Also, 20' utility easements will be re-
quired over all utility lines not within public right-of-way.
Furthermore, a 25' slope easement will be required adjacent Lexing-
ton Avenue to incorporate any future grading limits required as a
result of the upgrading of Lexington Avenue. Finally, a 15' trail -
way easement shall be provided within the 50' NSP easement along
the east boundary of this proposed development.
ASSESSMENTS
IS No trunk area assessments have been levied on this parcel as of yet.
Subsequently, unless a pending assessment is initiated by Council
action in approving a project to provide this proposed development
with trunk utilities prior to or at the time of final platting, then
it shall be this development's responsibility to pay those trunk re-
lated assessments. Likewise, if the improvements of Northview Park
Road and trail are not initiated by Council action prior to final
platting, then this development shall be responsibility for those
assessments. Nevertheless, this development shall be responsible
for the assessments for the trail along Wescott Road at the time of
final platting. All assessments shall be determined at the rate in
effect at the time of final plat approval.
The costs of all public improvements, with the exception of trunk
related improvements, shall be the sole responsibility of this de-
velopment. The costs for improving Wescott Road will be the re-
sponsibility of the major street fund for the reason that City assess-
ment policy does not allow for assessing single family residential
areas for streets on which no direct access is granted.
I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report in detail
with the Advisory Planning Commission at their meeting of February
28, 1984.

All voted in favor.
The hearing regarding the application of Northland Mortgage Company for
• preliminary plat approval of Lexington Square, consisting of 132.11 acres with
373 single family lots proposed, plus an additional 3 lots, most of which
would deviate from the R-1 zoning standards. The location of the property is
in the northwest quarter of Section 23, south of Wescott Road, and at'the
southeast intersection of Wescott Road and Lexington Avenue. Mr. Runkle
stated the parcel is zoned R-2, Mixed Residential, and that the zoning was
changed from R-3 to R-2 in February of 1984. The Land Use Guide designates it
as R -II. The plan contains 2.82 dwelling units per gross acre and 3.72
dwelling units per net acre. The smallest proposed lot would be 7,000 square
feet with an average lot size of 11,707 square feet. 25 lots meet the R-1
square footage requirement and lot width requirement and 30 foot setback with
350 single family lots which would deviate most in lot width and slightly in
lot area from the R-1 zoning standards. Garrett Mulrooney stated that he
would not participate in discussion and would abstain from voting because his
law firm represents Northland Mortgage from time to time. Two exceptions
within the plat, one at the northwest corner, which had been purchased by a
church, and one at the center of the proposed plat, were discussed. Wayne
Tower of Suburban Engineering and also several representatives of the appli-
cant were present.
Mr. Tower stated that with slight revisions, all lots would be 75 feet or
greater at the setback line, and that the 7,000 square foot lot would be
upgraded to about 9,000 square feet, with the next smallest being approximate-
ly 8,700 square feet under the proposed revisions. 101 lots would be above
the 12,000 square foot minimum standard. The planned development allows for
528 lots for the site. The neighborhood collector for Northview Park Road was
• discussed in detail, which would allow lots to front on the road. He stated
that the applicant's opinion is that the road will not generate substantial
amounts of traffic.

Kettle Creek was recommended to provide access to the east, rather than
to be cul-de-saced and the developer agreed. The developer, however, opposes
connecting Danbury Court as a through street because of the loss of lots and
extra street costs. There was discussion concerning a recommendation that all
drainage be designed to flow to the north, whereas the applicant requested
that the very south tier of lots provide for drainage to the south.
Marge Tilley, an owner on Wescott Road, was present and was concerned
about whether the existing ponds would be retained. Mr. Tower stated the
major pond to the east would remain but the other small ponds would not.
There would be only one access from the development to Wescott Road under the
proposal. Three bike paths are being proposed, including an 8 foot path on
Wescott Road, concrete sidewalk along Northview and blacktop sidewalk along
Northview Park Road, with an easement along the east line. Dale LaRue of
Lexington and Wescott Road was present and recommended some berming, particu-
larly along Wescott Road. The proposed price of the homes is $85,000.00 to
$95,000.00 per unit, and the phasing will begin in 1984. Jim Curry also was
present and stated that the owner of Outlot A favors the proposal and may
subdivide that exception in the near future. There were concerns about dust
along Wescott Road and also timing of the utilities for the land to the north
of Wescott Road. Jim Williams, a neighbor, was present and was concerned
about the dangerous intersection of Wescott and Lexington and also expressed
• concerns about two-thirds of the lot being below the normal lot size require-
ments.
Chairman Hall stated that he owns the land directly to the east and was
concerned about the connection with that, including the Northview Park Road,
which he favored as a neighborhood collector, but would object to a major
collector being located on his property exclusively. Member McCrea asked
whether the developer would provide berms, after which there was considerable
discussion and some opposition from the developer, indicating that they do
block drainage and the developer preferred not to be required to install them.
Ron Helmer of Northview Mortgage stated that he felt berming along Wescott
Road would not be practical because the land on the south side is lower than
the road. Member Wilkins was also concerned about the inventory of small lots
and Mr. Runkle stated that a 75 foot lot now appears to be a reasonable
compromise and also is in demand by builders. Member Wold had concerns about
the number of small lots approved and whether Eagan is getting an excessive
number in relation to other communities. Mr. Runkle stated that 50% of the
residential lots being single family is the objective of the City and also
noted that the parcel is fairly flat and conducive to small lots, whereas only
a limited number of parcels in the City remain with that terrain. Member Wold
also recommended architectural controls for the smaller lot area and suggested
a review board. Staff members indicated they had no objection to direct
access to Northview Park Road. Member Hall questioned whether the City should
be removing its requirement of the -north -south street along the east line and
stated that this had been in the plan for many years. He also indicated that
possibly Northview Park Road will not go straight east to Elrene Road extended
• because of ponds that would obstruct its location. He also objected to lack
of traffic planning by the staff covering the land to the east and felt that
certain streets within the City have been overbuilt.

Mr. Runkle re ie ed briefly with the Planning Commi sion members the
proposed Shoreland Or inance that has been drafted by the sta f in conjunction
with the Departure of Natural Resources. Mr. Runkle s ted that many
meetings have been held with DNR Representatives over the past two years, but
that very few la es within the City would be affected. The D R format was
generally follo ed and It is expected that the DNR will appr ve the draft
ordinance. Th was discussion concerning Section 77.07, Subdi sion 2, on
page 16 as to he t'
the applications should be submitted to the prior to
the Plannin Commission approval, rather than only 10 days pri to City

MEMO T0:—TOM-HEDGES,-CITY_ADMINISTRATQR3
FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
RE: ADVISORY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION ACTION
LEXINGTON SQUARE
At the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission meeting of March 1, 1984, the
Commission reviewed the proposed Lexington Square Development proposed by North-
land Mortgage Company. In reviewing the proposed development, it was noted that
Lexington Square is part of the Lexington South PUD. Inasmuch as agreement has
been reached in regard to the dedication of parkland within Lexington South, no
condition was applied to this plat for land dedication or incremental units of
park land which would normally be received with this plat.
In the overall review of Lexington Square, the Advisory Commission discussed a
numberof concerns relative to the development and Northview Athletic Fields.
These concerns were relative to traffic, parking, drainage and proximity of
homes facing Northview Park. After discussion by the Commission of these
issues, the following recommendation to the City Council was made.
1. The proposed exception or outlot within the center of the plat be
is
subject to a cash dedication requirement at time that it becomes
platted into lots, if platted at a separate time.
2. A bituminous trail be installed on the south side of Northview Park
Road to be done at time of construction of the roadway.
3. With the upgrading of Wescott Road, a bituminous trail and concrete
sidewalk be constructed.
4. The proposed sidewalk on the east side of Lexington Avenue extending
from Wescott Road to Northview Park Road be a bituminous pathway rather
than the proposed concrete sidewalk as indicated in the Engineer's Report.
5. A 15' wide trailway easement be granted to the City beneath the north
south NSP powerline easement.
6. The developer be required to redirect the storm water -flow as to not
flood the existing pond within the park. If the proposed development
is to drain to the south, it should be a requirement that construction
of a storm water lift station be completed prior to development of those
homes or phases which would drain to the south.

7. Consideration be given to landscaping and berming by the developer
and the City to provide screening of the athletic fields from the
residential homes which would face upon it.
Again, the Commission had some concern relative to the number of homes facing
Northview Road and potential traffic conflicts associated with the athletic
fields and proposed future high school site. There was discussion and con-
sideration for recommendation for restricted parking, but no action was taken
pending future needs based on experience associated with the development and
park traffic.

REZONING & PRELIMINARY PLAT OF SAFARI ESTATES 2ND ADDITION
D. Gerald Pearson and Bill Diedrich for Rezoning From A to
R-1 for Approximately 23 Acres and for Preliminary Plat, Safari
Estates 2nd Addition Consisting of Approximately 23.5 Acres
Containing 41 Single Family Lots -- A public hearing was held
before the Advisory Planning Commission at their last regular
meeting held on February 28, 1984, to consider 2 applications
submitted by Mr. Gerald Pearson and Bill Deidrich. The first
application was a request to rezone approximately 23'h acres
from A to R-1, and the second application was for preliminary
plat of Safari Estates Second Addition consisting of 23h, acres
and containing 41 single family lots. The Advisory Planning
Commission is recommending approval of the preliminary plat
to the City Council. The APC discussed the proposed zoning
and preliminary plat making the following observations:
1) Three lots were under the R-1 zoning standards and that
certain lots must be changed in order to comply with
the 12,000 sq. ft. criteria.
2) The APC reviewed the proposed development as a transition
• between Berkshire's small lot, single family on the north,
and the Safari Estates' large lot, single family to the
south, and that this proposed plat provided a good transition
and good development in this general location.
3) The APC required that "Estates" be stricken from the
plat due to the size of lots and therefore it would be
Safari Addition instead of Safari Estates Second Addition.

report, copies enclosed on pages 960- through SOS For

REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE, CITY PLANNER
APPLICATION SUBMITTED: The first application submitted is a request
to rezone approximately 23.5 acres from A (Agricultural District) to
R-1 (Residential Single District) located in part of the NW; of the
SW; of Section 32.
The second application submitted is a request for preliminary plat
approval, Safari Estates Second Addition, consisting of approximate-
ly 23.5 acres and containing 41 single family lots located in part
of the NA of the SW; of Section 32.
ZONING AND LAND USE
Presently, the parcel is zoned A (Agricultural) and has not had any
request for zoning in the past. The Comprehensive Guide Plan desig-
nates this particular parcel as R -II (Mixed Residential with a den-
sity of 3-6 dwelling units per acre). The proposed development con-
sists of single family homes which is on the very low end of this
density range.
rOMMF.NTR
The proposed plat is an undeveloped wedge of property between Berk-
shire Pond on the north and existing Safari Estates on the south.
Safari Pass is the access road that this subdivision would use to
gain access to this development. Safari Estates is zoned R-1 (Resi-
dential Single District) and the property to the north is zoned R-1
PD which would allow single family homes which deviate from the nor-
mal single family lot size requirements. Therefore, this proposed
development is a transition between the smaller lots to the north
and the larger lots to the south in this general area.
The one issue which may be brought out is Safari Estates was one of
• the last subdivisions that could use the name "Estates" and not have
the Estate zoning. This is the second phase of that, and it may be
questioned if the word "Estates" can be used in this Second Addition
if the zoning is R-1 vs. the Estate zoning. Therefore, there may be
W
CITY OF EAGAN
REZONING & PRELIMINARY PLAT - SAFARI ESTATES SECOND ADDITION •

some question as to the name of this plat or what name could be used
other than "Estates" in this platting process.
The proposed plat consists of 41 single family lots of which all meet
or exceed the R-1 zoning requirements for lot width and square foot-
age with the exception of three lots.
The plat is proposing to have direct access onto Safari Pass and one
cul-de-sac off of Galaxie Avenue. The second phase will have a road
proposed from Safari Pass running northwesterly to provide access to
the property to the west. In review of this plat, this appears to
be the only place where access can be obtained to the property to the
west to allow for future development. The applicant is also provid-
ing the connection of the street to the north which was platted in
the Berkshire Pond preliminary plat. Therefore, the plat does pro-
vide continuity to this abutting property.
It appears that the main issue is the depth of sanitary sewer and
being able to provide proper sewer connections to the lots on the
cul-de-sac off of Galaxie Avenue. I believe Engineering is working
with the applicant to provide adequate sewer connections. •
If approved, the preliminary plat should be subject to the following
conditions:
1) All lots meet or exceed the R-1 zoning criteria for square
footage and lot width.
2) Determination shall be made if "Estates" can be used in the
Second Addition of this proposed plat.
3) All other City ordinances shall be adhered to.
4) If the proposed development is zoned R-1 (Residential Single
District), all lots shall meet the minimum lot size of 12,000
square feet.

5) An overflow outlet from the proposed detention pond within
Block 3 of this proposed development shall be constructed
prior to or concurrent with phase two of this proposed de-
velopment.

ted for approval by staff.
7) water main shall be looped from Galaxie Avenue to Safari •
Pass through the cul-de-sac.

MEMO TO: THE ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION, C/O DALE C. RUNKLE, .
CITY PLANNER
FROM: RICHARD M. HEFTI, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
DATE: FEBRUARY 22, 1984
SUBJECT: SAFARI ESTATES SECOND ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works has the
following comments regarding this proposed development for consid-
eration by the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council.
DRAINAGE/TOPOGRAPHY
The existing topography consists of rolling terrain with two inun-
dated depressions. One depression is located in approximately the
center of this proposed development while only a portion of the
other depression is located along the westerly boundary of this
proposed development. The latter depression is designated as Pond
AP -17 in the Master Storm Sewer Plan as shown on Figure 1. Cur-
rently, this pond does not have a controlled outlet. This pond
accepts runoff from storm sewers servicing the Safari Estates area
and a portion of Galaxie Avenue. When constructed, the outlet for
this pond will be to Pond AP -30 which presently does have a con-
trolled elevation. However, most of the drainage over this propos- •
ed development will be into the low area located within Block 3.
Subsequently, it will be the responsibility of this development to
provide a storm sewer outlet to their north line prior to comple-
tion of the development within this area. At this point, it will
connect to a storm sewer constructed by the Berkshire Pond devel-
opment. Subsequently, this low area in Block 3 will eventually be
connected to Pond AP -30.
The proposed grading will not alter the drainage patterns. A de-
tailed grading and erosion control plan shall be submitted prior
to final plat approval for approval by staff.
UTILITIES
Utilities of sufficient, capacity and depth exist within the prox-
imity of this development to provide service to it. Water and san-
itary sewer services are in-place along Safari Pass, or Lots 7-16
of Block 3. A 20" trunk water main is in-place along Galaxie Ave-
nue to provide service to the cul-de-sac. Sanitary sewer service
will have to be provided from the sanitary sewer constructed with-
in the Berkshire Pond Addition. It will have to be extended south
along Galaxie Avenue to this proposed development.
The timing for installation of utilities for this proposed develop-
ment will depend upon the Berkshire Pond development to its north. 41Coordination will be required for the sanitary sewer and also for
the subsequent storm sewer construction for the pond. Water main
constructed for the cul-de-sac will be required to be looped to the
W.",

south to the existing water main within Safari Pass. If installed
privately, plans and specifications shall be prepared by a register-
ed engineer in accordance with City design guidelines and reviewed
by staff.
40102W
Galaxie Avenue borders this proposed development along the easterly
boundary and Safari Pass borders this proposed development along
its southerly boundary. Galaxie Avenue is presently a community col-
lector street constructed to its ultimate design section of 44 feet,
while Safari Pass is a 32 -foot wide residential street constructed
to its ultimate design section.
Access to Lots 17-26 of Block 3 will be by way of a cul-de-sac off
of Galaxie Avenue. The cul-de-sac is well within'the allowable
length as defined by City Code. It will be required to be construct-
ed to City standards for a 32 -foot residential street.
RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS
• This proposed development will be required to dedicate 17 feet of
additional right-of-way for Galaxie Avenue to provide for a 50' half
right-of-way. In addition, a public right-of-way will be required
to be dedicated for the cul-de-sac street. Safari Pass right-of-way
has already been acquired.
In addition to the regular utility easements adjacent public right-
of-way and adjacent all lot lines, a ponding easement will be re-
quired over -Lots 21, 22 and 23 to encompass an elevation of approx-
imately 930.
ASSESSMENTS
All trunk related assessments have been assessed for this proposed
development. Subsequently, all costs for installation of future
utilities and streets will be the sole responsibility of this de-
velopment.
I will be available to discuss any aspect of this report in detail
with the Advisory Planning Commission at their meeting of February
28, 1984.

The hearing regarding the application of Gerald Pearson and Bill Diedrich
for rezoning approximately 23.5 acres from A (Agricultural)toR-1 (Residen-
tial Single) and for preliminary plat approval of Safari Estates Second Addi-
tion was next heard by the Planning Commission members. Mr. Runkle detailed
the proposal and indicated the four lots in the northeast did not meet R-1
standards, but Mr. Pearson and Mr Diedrich were present and stated that the
lot lines will be adjusted to comply with minimum standards. The developers
also indicated that they would not object to the dropping of the word
"Estates" in the addition name, because of the conflict with the Estate
zoning. The staff recommends an overflow outlet to the north, and the appli-
cants had no objections. There were no objections to the proposal, and
Mulrooney moved, Wold seconded the motion to recommend approval of the appli-
cation for rezoning from A (Agricultural) to R-1 (Residential Single Family).
All voted in favor. Then Mulrooney moved, Wilkins seconded the motion to
recommend preliminary plat application be approved, conditioned upon the
following:

EAGAN SHORBLAND ORDINANCE
Mr. Runkle reviewed briefly with the Plann Commission members the
proposed Shoreland Ordinanc that has been dra d by the staff in conjunction
with the Department -of Nat al Resourc Mr. Runkle stated that many
meetings have been held with D Repre tatives over the past two years, but
that very few lakes within the t ould be affected. The DNA format was
generally followed and it is ex ted that the DNR will approve the draft
ordinance. There was discussi con rning Section 77.07, Subdivision 2, on
page 16 as to whether the alp cations ould be submitted to the DNR prior to
the Planning Commission proval, rat h r than only 10 days prior to City
Council approval. Fur er review will t e place on that issue and it was
also noted that exis ng planned developments will not be altered by the
proposed ordinance provisions. The Planning Commission designated the regular •
March 27, 1984 meeting of the Advisory Planning Commission, as the public
hearing night at 7:00 p.m. at the City Rall on the Shoreland Ordinance.

CONTRACT 84-3/AWARD CONTRACT
A. Contract 84-3, Receive Bids/Award Contract (Almquist Lake Lift
Station) -- At 10:30 a.m. on March 15, formal bids were received
at City Hall for the installation of the lift station pumps for
Almquist Lake and construction of the access drive from Covington
Lane to this lift station. As the Council may recall, staff inclu-
ded in the base bid the installation of a "grass paver" access drive
in lieu of the standard bituminous surfacing to our lift station
structures. The alternate bid requested was for the deletion of
the "grass paver" material and the installation of the more tradi-
tional bituminous access drive. As can been seen, the alternate
bid for a deduct of $4,430 for the traditional bituminous access
drive implies that the installation of this "grass paver" access
drive material costs an additional $4,430 over and above what would
be the bid cost of $3,650 for the installation of a traditional
bituminous access drive. With this information made available,
the staff will be requesting the City Council to make a determina-
tion as to whether this additional expenditure of $4,430 should
be installed for this project.
• Enclosed on page _1 3 is a copy of the bid tabulation for the Coun-
cil's information concerning this item.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To receive the bids for Con-
tract 84-3 and award the contract to the low bidder, Orr Construc-
tion in the amount of $29,417.25 with/without the alternate bid
for the bituminous drive in lieu of the "grass paver" drive, and
if approved, authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all re-
lated contract documents.

NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL TRAINING
B. National Development Council Training/Authorization for
William Escher -- Mr. William Escher, the acting Executive Director
of the Dakota County Chamber of Commerce is requesting an appropria-
tion in the amount of $200 to pay a portion of a four-week course
consisting of a week each to concentrate on the following subjects:
1) Economic Development Financing
2) Business Credit Analysis
3) Real Estate Financing
4) Advanced Deal Structuring
This request has been reviewed by the Economic Development Commis-
sion of the City Council, and it is their unanimous recommendation
that the City Council authorize the $200 expenditure to help
fund Mr. Escher's involvement at this four-week training. Enclosed
is a letter that explains the significance of the training as
prepared by Mr. Escher found on pages I1re /(0
through /'.
•
The letter does state that $150 is requifrom the City as
a contribution however since this letter was drafted, it was
learned that if you are not a Star City the cost will be greater
requiring a $200 appropriation. The Economic Development Commission,
Mayor Blomquist and the City Administrator feel having a member
of the Chamber of Commerce attend this training seminar and
share the information with the City, is well worth the amount
of the appropriation. Mr. Escher will be available to work
with business within the City of Eagan and the Economic Development
Commission upon his completion of the course work. City Administra-
tor and Mayor will explain more about the proposal at the City
Council meeting.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny authoriza-
tion of William Escher to attend the National Development Council
training.

RE: NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL TRAINING SPONSORED BY THE MINNESOTA
DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Dear Tom:
My registration in the Minnesota Department of Energy and Economic Develop-
ment's second round of National Development Training has been accepted.
The National Development Council Training will start on April 30 and
01 will consist of five days on "Economic Development Financing". This
course is the "nuts and bolts" knowledge and skills of how to establish
a public/private sector partnership to initiate an aggressive marketing
program, to screen, analyze, structure, and package investment proposals,
to enlist the commitment and support of the private sector lenders, to
utilize the Federal tax incentive and loan programs and to properly set
performance goals, monitor progress and identify problems.
The second five-day course entitled "Business Credit Analysis" will begin
on June 11. This course focuses on the analysis of the Balance Sheet,
Profit and Loss Statements, and the Cash Flow Statement. After this
segment, participants will be able to analyze their own live projects
and will have developed the skills to present a proposal to a lender or
an investor.
The third segment is titled"Real Estate Financing" and will begin on
June 23 for five days. The purpose here is to learn how to determine
property value based on the appraisal process, and to analyze, construct,
and restructure live underwriting proposals using conventional, income
participation, subordinate financing, syndication, and joint venture
underwriting techniques.
The final week of this course is titled"Advanced Deal Structuring". The
date for this course is to be announced. In this course, attention will
be focused on how to utilize public and private sector financing tools
and tax incentives to maximize the benefits offered to businesses
,and
jobs while maximizing the return to the public sector.

As we have discussed, the Chamber would like to take a more active role
in economic development for the cities that are represented within the
WWEhamber. To do this it is the feeling of our various City Economic
E Committees that if the cities do not intend to send someone
to this course, the Chamber should send someone to the course with the
financial participation from our respective city members.
It is my intention to attend as the representative from the Chamber. In
order to get the most advantageous price, I have registered as attending
under the Minnesota Star City Program of which Eagan is an applicant.
The four-week course cost is $600 as a Star City applicant. On March 1,
our Board of 'Directors approved my attendance at these training sessions
and agreed to contribute $150 towards the cost. I am prepared to per-
sonally pay $150 of the cost. I am,therefore, requesting the balance of
$300 be contributed by the Cities of Eagan and West St. Paul. Ken Kube,
Mayor of West St. Paul, has indicated he would endorse such a proposal
to their Council, and we have every reason to believe it will be granted.
Therefore, we hereby request the City of Eagan to agree to fund $150
towards these training sessions.
We are also writing to the City of Mendota Heights telling them of this
planned training program and asking them if they have any interest in
participating in the cost. If their answer is positive, we would reduce
everyone's contribution to $120.
If you consider it necessary or helpful, I would be more than pleased
to attend a Council meeting to make a formal request for the City's
darticipation and to answer any questions I can pertaining to the Economic
evelopment Committees we have established or to the training sessions
as I understand them.
The question has been asked, inasmuch as I am only the Acting Executive
Director of the Chamber, whether or not I would be available to represent
the Chamber in its association with the respective cities as it pertains
to economic development. While I am in no position to give any guaran-
tees, allow me to assure you that I would be more than happy to continue
in some capacity with the Dakota County Chamber -of Commerce when it works
with the cities in the area of economic development, and I am willing to
agree to this kind of a commitment for a reasonable period of time, maybe
up to three years, provided the Dakota County Chamber of Commerce is a
willing participant in such involvement.
If you have any questions concerning my request, I would appreciate your
letting me know. However, I would like an indication of your interest by
April 10 so I can make the necessary financial plans to attend the training
sessions.
Best personal regards.
Yours very truly,

SINGLE HEADEND/CABLE COMMISSION
D. Consideration of Single Headend for the Joint Cable Communica-
tion System -- During a City Council meeting in January, City
Council Member Smith and City Administrator Hedges reported that
Group W Cable was requesting a modification of the cable franchise
to provide a single headend and hub in the general area of the
Burnsville/Eagan corporate boundaries. The Joint Cable Commission
considered the request and determined that a consultant should be
hired to evaluate the request by Group W and determine whether
the equipment bid in the original franchise agreement would be
adequate to provide a strong frequency to all locations within
both the cities of Burnsville and Eagan. Mr. Jim Sullivan of Path
Engineering was hired to evaluate the technical design and a Mr.
Cattoor was hired by the Commission to evaluate the financial pro-
jections of Group W to determine whether the change in design would
be financially sound. Mr. Sullivan has completed the report find-
ing that the equipment cannot make the distance required to pro-
vide proper amplification and further, that the original one head -
end and one hub with FM interconnect would not have worked either
with the equipment that was originally bid. Therefore, it will
be necessary for Group W to use special switching equipment and
with other minor modifications to their equipment bid the single
headend will best serve the system. Therefore, in a motion by the
Cable Commission to each of the respective city councils, it was
recommended that Group W is offering from one headend to one hub
•
to one headend, conditioned upon final approval by the Cable
Commission of electronic specifications of the design of the system
to the boundaries of Burnsville and Eagan with all other
commitments of the original proposal to be met by Group W the
changes as proposed by Group W was approved. Since the City
Council to date has only considered a single headend hub in concept
it will be necessary to review and consider the recommendation
of the Joint Cable Commmission.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To consider approving a
single headend and hub location for the joint Burnsville/Eagan
Cable Communication Commission.
Special note: The City has a copy of the detailed reports that
were reviewed by the Commission for both the financial and techni-
cal evaluation. If any member of the City Council would like a
copy of the reports to review, please notify the City Administra-
tor's office.

PROJECT 400/ORDER FEASIBILITY REPORT
G. Project #400, Receive Petition/Order Feasibility Report (Oak
Cliff Pond Outlet) -- Earlier on the agenda, the City Council will
have considered the preliminary plat application for the Oak Cliff
Subdivision. The developer has indicated that he intends to install
the internal streets and utilities to service this subdivision.
However, the drainage from this subdivision will drain into what
will be referred to as Oak Cliff Pond (AP -10) which will require
a lift station and outlet to control the water elevation. Subse-
quently, the City has received a petition from the developer of
the subdivision requesting preparation of a feasibility report for
the installation of this trunk storm sewer lift station and outlet.
If the preliminary plat is approved earlier on this agenda, it would
be in order for the Council to 'receive the petition and authorize
the preparation of a feasibility report.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny the peti-
tion and, if approved, authorize the preparation of a feasibility
report for Project 400 for the installation of the storm sewer lift
station and outlets for Oak Cliff Pond (AP -10).
• PROJECT 401/ORDER FEASIBILITY REPORT
H. Project 401, Receive Petition/Order Feasibility Report (Lexing-
ton Square Trunk Storm 8 Sanitary Sewers) -- Earlier on this agenda,
the Council will be considering the preliminary plat application
for the Lexington Square Development. If this preliminary plat
is approved, the developers would like to proceed with. the first
phase of this plat which will require the extension of trunk sani-
tary and storm sewer through their subdivision. The developer has
indicated that they intend to install the internal streets and
utilities privately. However, due to the fact that this trunk storm
and sanitary sewer extension will benefit more than this subdivi-
sion, they are requesting that it be performed under a City contract
which requires a feasibility report and public hearing process.
Therefore, if the preliminary plat is approved for the Lexington
Square Addition earlier on the agenda, it would be appropriate for
the Council to consider this petition. Due to the anticipated quick
development schedule by the developer, the petition also contains
a statement whereby they waive their right to their portion of the
public hearing and guarantee all costs associated with their ad-
ditional request that detailed plans and specifications be prepared
simultaneously with the feasibility report to facilitate the instal-
lation of these trunk utilities.
• ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To receive the petition and
if appropriate authorize the preparation of feasibility report 401
(Lexington Square - Trunk Sanitary and Storm Sewers) and the prepa-
ration of detailed plans and specifications.

I. Project $402, Receive Petition/Order Feasibility Report (Safair
Addition - Streets & Utilities) -- Earlier on the agenda, the City
Council will have considered the preliminary plat application for
the Safari Addition (Safari Estates 2nd Addition). If the prelim-
inary plat is approved by Council action, the developer is request-
ing the installation of internal streets and utilities to be per-
formed under a City contract. Due to the developer's anticipated
accelerated time -schedule, they have also signed a waiver of their
public hearing along with a guarantee to pay all costs associated
with their request that detailed plans and specifications be pre-
pared simultaneously with the feasibility report.
ACTION TO BE ,CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: Receive the petition and
if appropriate, approve the preparation of the feasibility report
for Project 402 (Safari Addition - streets and utilities) and order
the simultaneous preparation of detailed plans and specifications.

• J. Project @403, Receive Petition/Order Feasibility Report (Rose
Hill Addition - Streets & Utilities) -- Earlier on the agenda, the
City Council will be considering the preliminary plat for the Rose
Hill Addition. If that preliminary plat is approved, the developer
is requesting that the internal streets and utilities be installed
under a City contract. Because of the developer's accelerated con-
struction schedule, he is requesting that the detailed plans and
specifications be prepared simultaneously with the feasibility
report. The appropriate waiver of hearing and guarantee of costs
have been executed by the developer to facilitate this process.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To receive the petition and,
if appropriate, approve the preparation of the feasibility report

RESOLUTION REQUESTING VARIOUS COUNTY ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
K. Resolution Requesting Various County Road Improvements -- The
Public Works Director has been performing an analysis of collector/
arterial road improvements that will be necessary within the next
five years as a result of the interstate completion and/or existing
and projected subdivision development within the City. As it per-
tains to County road improvements, a considerable amount of coor-
dination must take place between the City and the County to insure
that the County road improvements are performed at the most optimum
time. The County has to perform extensive preliminary surveys to
determine potential permanent and construction easement acquisitions
in addition to projecting future budget allocations and potential
construction bonding requirements by the Dakota County Board for
these improvements. Conversely, the City must evaluate and antici-
pate the proposed impact on our Comprehensive Storm Sewer Plan,
prepare the appropriate feasibility reports and conduct the required
public hearings as are required for special assessment projects
and review future budget allocations and potential alternative
funding sources to cover the City's share of construction and re-
lated overhead costs. The way to insure that these improvements
are performed in a timely manner is to get concurrence of the time
frame for which they are to be improved. Subsequently, the Director
of Public Works has prepared the following segments of County road
improvements to be considered by the City Council in preparation
of a formal resolution requesting the Dakota County Board to incor-
porate these improvements within the time frame so requested.

roadways. The Transportation Advisory Board of the Metropolitan
Council has requested applications for FAU funding assistance by
April 16, 1984. These submittals should be for projects that would
be ready for contract letting in 1986, 87 or 88. They will accept
requests for projects to be submitted for contract letting in 1985
if it can be demonstrated that those projects can be advanced on
the required time frame for contract letting within that calendar
year.
Subsequently, we have been contacted by the County Highway Depart-
ment requesting that a resolution be passed supporting their pro-
posed FAU project submittals. A copy of this resolution is contain-
ed on page &(* . As can be seen, the projects that they are pro-
posing for FAU funding will not be scheduled for construction until
a later date from those contained in the Public Works Director's
analysis. Also contained on page 12,1 is a letter from the County
Highway Engineer expressing similar concern relating to a County
Road improvement program to be defined in the near future. Subse-
quently, in order to support the County's application for FAU fund-
ing, it would be advisable for the City to pass a resolution of
support. However, the proposed year of construction should be dis-
cussed by the Council and modified in the resolution if appropriate.
The Public Works Director feels that one resolution dealing with
all the City's concerns will address both the County's proposed
Capital Improvement Program and their FAU funding request. If any-
thing, the City's desire for sooner completion of FAU funded County
roadways can only help to demonstrate the need for these roadway
improvements which will assist the County's applications.
The Public Works Director will be available to discuss these issues
in further detail at the Council meeting so that the appropriate
resolution can be drafted for Council approval.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: Pass a resolution requesting
Dakota County to establish a five-year County Highway Capital Im-
provement Program in concurrence with the City of Eagan's needs
and to pursue all available funding sources necessary to meet the
requested timetable. If approved, authorize the Mayor and City
Clerk to execute said resolution.

• Dear Tom,
In the past few months, the County Board has expressed interest in develop-
ing an overall Capital Improvement Program. In response to this interest,
we have begun to review our existing programs to determine what kind of
revisions are needed. We would like to meet with you to discuss your
city's priorities for planning and financing county highway improvements.
This coordination is especially important because we share the financial
burden of such improvements.
We will be contacting you by phone in the near future to arrange a meeting
with you and any other city staff members that you would like to include.
In the meantime, if you have any questions please contact Ann Hopkins at

The draft EIS for Laukka-Beck Minnesota Jockey Club, Inc. site devel-
opment proposal inadvertently omitted Mitigation Measures regarding
Aircraft noise and Airport operations in reference to building con-
struction. It is the City of Eagan's intention that the "Land Use
Compatibility Aircraft Noise Guidelines" adopted by the Metropolitan
Council be placed in effect by the City and the Comprehensive Guide
Plan amended to include these regulations.
Prior to adopting a noise compatibility ordinance, the City is eval-
uating the impacts these regulations would have on the Citv of Eagan.
Once the regulations are adopted, the City will enforce these through
the zoning and building code procedures. Building construction and
design will be reviewed and modified as necessary to obtain the re-
sults of the exterior noise level requirements.
The City has and is participating in the Part 150 Grant Application
being submitted by the Metropolitan Airports Commission to obtain
funding in order to study the airport/aircraft noise impact as it
pertains to Eagan. Once we have completed these revisions and deter-
mined the approximate cost associated with these regulations, the
City can then define how to enforce these regulations.
As an.interim measure and Mitigation solution, the City of Eagan will
utilize the Planned Development.Section of the zoning Ordinance to
achieve construction modifications until such time as ordinances are
adopted and the Comprehensive Guide Plan is amended which would re-
quire compliance of these regulations. The Planned Development pro-
cess results in a binding contract between the developer and the
City. The City has additional control over the process through the
planned development agreement and the regulations which can be plac-
ed on the development which will require compliance of the Land Use
Compatibility Guidelines of the Metropolitan Council. It is the
Citv's intention that conditions in the planned development agreement
will be addressed and all reouired conditions im_oosed incidental to
anv structures constructed as part of Alternates 2, 3 and 4 on this
development.

Re: Project 399, Silver Bell Road Overlay
Dear Mr. Copeland:
At the City Council meeting of March 6, 1984, you presented
a petition to the City Council pertaining to the condition of
the surfacing of Silver Bell Road. As you were informed during
the discussion- subsequent to the presentation of your petition,
the City intends to resurface Silver Bell Road as a part of
our 1984 construction program. The Engineering Division is
presently involved in preparing detailed plans and specifications
along with a preliminary engineering report to be reviewed by
the City Council in the near future. Our present schedule is
to have this construction work initiated late June of 1984.
The City Council and Staff have been very much aware of the
condition of this street and its increasing maintenance cost.
Therefore, please be assured that the Council shares the same
concerns that were addressed in the petition that was submitted
and that the required corrective planning efforts have already
been initiated.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your
interests and concerns in addition to the professional method
in which you are pursuing to resolve the problem.
If you have any questions to the action that the City will be
taking in response to your petition, please feel free to contact
me for further clarification.
The City Council and Staff would appreciate it if you could
share a copy of this letter with those individuals who signed
the petition requesting attention to the matter by the City
officials.

MEMO TO: ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION
• FROM: THOMAS A. COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: MARCH 13, 1984
SUBJECT: SUNSET 5TH ADDITION - RECONSIDERATION OF
PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL
On March 6, 1984, the City Council formally reviewed the preliminary
plat application of the Sunset 5th Addn..as recommended for approval
by the Planning Commission on February 28. Due to a conflict,
the developer's representative was unable to attend that Council
meeting to present his application. Normally, the City Council
continues those items where the developer or his representative
is not able to be present at the Council meeting. However,
the City Council had serious concerns pertaining to this proposed
two -lot subdivision providing direct driveway access onto Dodd
Road (a community collector) with a potential for a future public
street along the future side lot (north line of plat) of a future
single-family lot without this public right-of-way being of
record or even reviewed to determine if that is the most appropriate
location.
Subsequently, in light of a motion to formally deny this plat
• application, the City Council voted to send this back to the
Planning Commission for more detailed review of this proposed
development in relationship to the overall future development
of this area of the Lexington South PUD. The Council felt that
more detailed analysis and review of the potential future develop-
ment of this area might indicate a different configuration for
development.
I have reviewed these concerns with the developer's representative,
Mr. Brad Swenson, and Mr. Jim Curry of the Lexington South PUD.
They have indicated that they will look at a proposed development
scheme for this area and how it may impact or compliment the
proposed Sunset 5th Addition and also reviewing the proposed
configuration and location of the parcel designated for church
just north of the proposed Sunset 5th Addition.
Therefore, the City Council would like the Planning Commission
to perform a more in depth review of the overall area before
the merits of this small subdivision can be reviewed and subsequent-
ly approved.
If any Planning Commission member would like further clarification
in regards to this issue, please feel free to contact me.

CARRIAGE BILIS RSVE1M BOND ISSUE
The public hearings concerning a preliminary resolution for a multi-
family housing development revenue bond issue for Carriage Hills Apartment
projects in the amount of $6,000,000.00 and amendment to the City Housing Plan
were then convened by Mayor Bea Blomquist. Because this type of revenue bond
financing is new to the City Council, the Finance Committee was directed to
meet with representatives of Miller S Schroeder and review the revenue bond
program and prepare a report to the Council. Due to a large number of issues
facing the staff and city council, the Finance Committee has not met, and it
was recommended that the item be continued until the April 17, 1984 City
Council meeting. Mr. Hedges explained the project, noting that there were a
large number of interested neighboring citizens present, and he indicated that
the purpose was to lower the interest rates and in turn to lower the rental
rates. It was noted the City has adopted a housing plan that will require an
amendment to the City's Housing Plan.
Dan May and James Mournier of building No. 1 in Carriage Hills appeared
and presented a Petition signed by 101 persons consisting of about 65% of all
owners, objecting to the rental project. Mr. Mournier stated the owners were
lead to believe that condominiums would be built and that there would be no
rental units in the entire project. A'letter from Kenneth Foust objecting to
the City assisting in the rental project was read. Joan Benson, an
owner/resident recommended against City assistance in allowing the rental
• project, but it was noted by Council members that the City cannot control
whether rental units would be allowed. Their objections were on the basis of
devaluing the property and also objections to low-income rentals.

revenue bond issue and in addition, the consideration of the amendment to the
City Housing Plan. It was noted that the Council had also before it a pro-
posed amendment to the Housing Plan, pursuant to M.S.A. 462C authorizing the
City to issue taxes and bonds and to assist in lowering the cost of financing
the construction or rehabilitation of multiple dwelling structures. All voted
in favor noting that there is need for additional study concerning the issue.
LONE OAK TREE
Mr. Hedges stated the Lone Oak Tree is scheduled to be removed about
April 10 or 11, 1984 according to specifications determined by.the City. City
Councilmember Wachter and City Administrator Hedges had reviewed the proposal
of Mr. Kent Nerburn who is suggesting a sculpture be made using the trunk of
the lone oak tree and also, noted that other alternates are being explored.
No action was required by the City Council, but simply an acknowledgement that
MnDOT is scheduled to remove the tree. Further report will be given by Mr.
Wachter and Mr. Hedges to the City Council. •
PARK SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT - BOND REFERENDUM - 1984
A special task force regarding the park system development improvements
has been meeting and has recommended that a bond referendum be scheduled by
the City Council for May 22, 1984 to consider the issuance of bonds for park
development and improvements. Smith moved, Thomas seconded the motion to
schedule a referendum on the proposed bond issue for park development and
improvements for May 22, 1984 with the actual amount of the referendum to be
determined by the City Council on - y 27, 1984 at a special meeting. All
voted in favor.
The application of Richard Winkler and Winkler Development Company for
preliminary plat approval of Oak Cliff consisting of approximately 33 acres
and containing 75 single family lots and 9 twin -home lots was presented to the
Council. The Advisory Planning Commission, on February 28, 1984, recommended
approval but had certain concerns about the proposal. Major discussion
evolved around the access and circulation of the single family and twin home
lots and the concept of the townhouse development referenced on Outlot B. It
was noted that the entire planned development will be platted with outlots
other than the areas intended to be developed at the present time. Mr.
Winkler and his engineer, Bill Maurer, of Probe Engineering, were present. •
Mr. Hedges introduced the project and Dale Runkle, City Planner, reviewed the

March 22, 1984
proposal in some depth. He noted that the intention is to provide better
communication between the Advisory Planning Commission and City Council and
thus, the reason for more detail in packets to the City Council concerning
Planning Commission's concerns. There were concerns about density revisions
and Councilman Smith recommended connecting the single-family and townhouse
development because of the size of the proposed townhouse areas for public
safety reasons, and the need for smooth traffic flow, etc. Mr. Winkler stated
that all of the single family lots comply with minimum requirements and the
price range will be $110,000.00 to $130,000.00 per unit. He recommended
against connecting the two areas, stating that a substantial number of trees
would be taken and that there is a severe grade change. Mayor Blomquist
stated there would be only one cul-de-sac and she felt the project appeared to
be feasible. Councilman Smith stated that there appeared to be too many units
on the townhouse cul-de-sac; that 50 units are too many units on the cul-de-
sac and strongly recommended for continuity sake in developments, to connect
neighborhoods. Mr. Mauer stated he felt that there was adequate safety
vehicle layout, that safety vehicle access would be adequate and that there is
also adequate off-street parking. There was discussion concerning proposed
access to the north commercial area, but noted it was very difficult because
• of the steep terrain. Mr. Colbert suggested a 20 foot wide street be widened
to 32 feet on the east end, if there is only one access. Both Councilman
Smith and Councilman Wachter suggested reasonable variances be provided for a
through -street, including saving of trees, setbacks, etc. and yet connect the
two projects. Blomquist moved, Thomas seconded the motion to approve the
application, subject to the following:
1. The townhouse plat shall provide for two accesses to the townhouse
zoned area from Slater's Road.
2. The total density in the planned development shall be reduced by 61
dwelling units for the Outlot B portion or the area west of Slater's Road.
The new density number for this area west of Slater's Road should be 231
dwelling units total as opposed to the 56.56 acres by 5.5 dwelling units per
acre. Further, 6 single family lots will be authorized on Jones Street East
of Slater's Road.
3. All lots being platted shall meet the minimum R-1 and R-2 zoning
standards.
4. The 50 townhouse units proposed on the north shall be approved in
concept only and a detailed review will be done at the time this area is
platted.
5. The applicant shall meet all other obligations of the Winkler Jack-
son Planned Development in regard to dedication of parkland and the grading or
• escrowing money for grading of the parkland to a suitable condition.

sponsibility of this development.
Councilman Smith was concerned that because the townhouse area was only a
concept, that it could be changed and revisions could take place in the
future. A neighboring Burnsville residential owner was present and had con-
cerns about drainage and trees in the southwest corner of the proposed plat.
The developer indicated that the trees would not be removed in the drainage
area, nor will the drainage area be filled. The staff recommended a ponding
.easement in the area. .Blomquist, Egan and Thomas voted in favor; Wachter and
Smith -voted no.
ROSE BILI. ADDITION - PRELDQNARY PLAT

approval of Lexington Square consisting of approximately 132 acres and con-
taining 369 single family lots was presented to the Council.. Mr. Hedges
briefly introduced the application and Dale Runkle reviewed the proposal in
some detail. He also reviewed the highlights of the discussion before the
Advisory Planning Commission and noted that the smallest lot proposed appar-
ently is 8,700 square feet with the overall average being 11,707 square feet.
He reviewed the street access including Northview Park Road, noting that it is
proposed as a neighborhood community collector under the Eagan Transportation
• Plan, but now proposed as a neighborhood collector where direct access could
be allowed.

Council Minutes •
March 22, 1984
The minimum lot width would be 75 feet and the terrain is very level and
untreed which would substantiate the type of development being requested.
Planning Commission members had concerns about back yards abutting Wescott
Road and that berms ,would not be practical, but that landscaping was proposed.
Another important issue discussed was drainage and it was recommended by the
staff that all drainage go to the north.
Wayne Tower of Suburban Engineering was present as were representatives
of the applicant and noted that there were only 5 lots under 9,000 square feet
in size. Mr. Tower also recommended that the southerly tier of lots be
allowed to drain to the south, noting the additional cost in installing pipe
running water to the north. Mr. Colbert strongly recommended that all water
be diverted to the north because JP -30 to the south cannot handle additional
storm drainage and no plan has been submitted to develop the land to the south
at the present time. Bruce Patterson of Suburban Engineering also stated that
the project would not add additional water to Pond JP -34 and Mr. Colbert noted
that only about 200 feet of additional pipe would resolve the potential prob-
lem. An alternate would be to restrict development in the south area until
the storm sewer is installed. Mr. Wachter suggested more consistency in the
street names. The applicant noted there are now 373 lots with some revisions •
having been made and it did agree to install the storm sewer to run all water
to the north. Smith moved, Thomas seconded the motion to approve the applica-
tion subject to the following conditions:
1. The plat shall be subject to the Dakota County Plat Commission's
review and comment because the plat abuts a County road.
2. No variances for setback or lot coverage shall be allowed except for
topographic or vegetation reasons.
3. The City shall approve the policy on neighborhood collector streets.
4. Lot size deviations shall be approved in accordance with the pre-

Advisory Planning Commission at its February 28, 1984 meeting recommended
approval, subject to certain conditions. In explaining the proposal, he
indicated that all lots now comply with the'12,000 square foot criteria and
that the Planning Commission recommended the word "Estates" be stricken, due
to the size of the lots being less than 20,000 square feet under the Estate
zoning category. Mr. Pearson and Mr. Diedrich were present and stated that

grass paver material rather than bituminous access drive. The grass paver
would add $4,430.00 above the traditional bituminous access drive material.
In addition, another alternate was for the equipment pump, but it was recom-
mended that the pump be eliminated. John Candell, attorney, appeared for Mr.
and Mrs. Briggs, the affected property owners, and stated their concerns about
the type of driveway and that they did not know there was an access that would
be installed at the time they purchased the lots. They recommended the grass
paver material and also requested an access gate be installed. After discus-
sion, Smith moved, Egan seconded the motion to award the contract to Orr
Construction with the total base bid of $29,417.25 with grass paver installa-
tion and bituminous closer to the pond at the lower end, with the further

RAHN ROAD - PROJECT /405 - UPGRADING
Public Works Director, Tom Colbert, stated that Rahn Road continues to
handle increasing volumes of traffic and that the width and design section is
inadequate for the present traffic conditions. MSAS funding would require
widening to a minimum standard of 44 feet with concrete curb and gutter, but
due to the anticipated easement acquisitions and public hearings required, it
was suggested that the width be somewhat less than 44 feet. Hlomquist moved,
Smith seconded the motion to authorize the preparation of the feasibility
report for Rahn Road street improvements, including several alternates in
design. All voted in favor.
