the public. This will be the 3rd year that a committee of seniors has collaborated to offer this
public program out of the Lone Oak Room.
• Parent/child classes remain popular for the winter session.
• SUPPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
• Pending Council approval, staff will once again be submitting a DNR grant application for
funds to assist with the construction of a shelter, toilet/service building and other
miscellaneous amenities. As in the past, grant funds are very limited.
• January is going to be a busy month for meetings at ECC. There are several groups that are
booked on a weekly, monthly or bi-monthly basis.
• The Civic Arena was the host facility for a youth hockey tournament for Eagan Hockey
from December 30-January 1, 2006. The tournament drew 14 teams from outside the
community.

recreational programs after school with collaborative programs.

students more than in 2004. These teens are engaged in productive, safe, supportive
programs during critical times of the day.

in early January. With the continued success over the last year, filling or nearly filling every
class, two additional staff will be hired to assist in the continued success and future
development of the program.

• Work will begin this month with the consulting firm of U.S, West Research to begin the
application of Holz Farm to the National Register of Historic Places.
3
• PROMOTE HEALTH & WELLNESS
• The unseasonably warm weather has negated the head start on outdoor ice rinks that the
early cold afforded. Most sites have been closed since prior to Christmas, with only limited
openings at select sites. Four to five days of consistent cold is needed to refurbish what
remains.
• As of Jan. 1, the Tubing hill has been open 10 days with over 1400 admissions. There have
also been 513 cups of hot chocolate/coffee sold from the vending machine. The snow is
melting fast, so Think snow! !
• The January Active Rewards promotion at ECC has been very successful. Seventy-one
memberships were sold in the first three days of the promotion and to date slightly over 100
new members have joined. The January promotion in 2005 resulted in approximately 230
total new memberships.

in 4 sports with 18 leagues 6 days a week. The outdoor leagues will wrap up by the middle
of February, while the indoor leagues will play into March.

numbers.

last fall. The application deadline is January 23.
• Applications have been accepted for Cascade Bay for the 2006 season (98 received so far)
and interviews have begun.
KUDOS TO STAFF:

AGENDA ITEM: E-1; RECREATION DIVISION REPORT
TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION
PREPARED BY: RECREATION SUPERVISORY STAFF
ITEM OVERVIEW: An update of recreation programs for fall 2005/winter 2006.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY:
The Recreation staff met with the APrC programming sub committee to share ideas, discuss
programming and receive direction form the board during the fall of 2004. As a result of the
meetings recreation supervisory staff has been invited to share program information on a
quarterly basis. This report is a culmination of all of the program areas including preschool,
adult sports, family, teens and seniors.
Adult Sports
• The winter leagues are underway for the 2006 season. There are 136 teams participating
in 4 sports (basketball, boot hockey, broomball and volleyball) with 18 leagues 6 days a
week. All leagues play a regular season schedule followed by playoffs.
• Boot Hockey and Broomball will wrap up by the middle of February.
• Basketball and Volleyball will play into March.
Community Events
• Halloween Hodgepodge - Sunday, October 30
More than 700 people celebrated Halloween at the Eagan Community Center for an
evening of crafts, games, terrifying walks through the woods, storytellers and more.
• Old Fashioied Holiday - Sunday, December 4
This event was hosted by Friends of the Farm and Eagan Parks & Recreation. A
beautiful winter day provided for a festive 1940's holiday celebration on the farm with
approximately 500 people in attendance.
Outdoor Facilities
• Eagan Parks & Recreation staffs and maintains 6 Class A and 2 Class B skating sites
during the winter season. There are also 6 Class C sites that are maintained but do not
have a shelter building or staff on site. Sites were scheduled to open on Saturday,
December 17, and for the first time in several years were able to open on schedule.
However, warm weather arrived and closed down the rinks over the Holiday weekend. If
temperatures cool off in time, we are hopeful that a few rinks can reopen during the New
Years weekend.
5
• The Trapp Farm Tubing Hill was also able to open on December 17 due to a 6 inch
snowfall a few days before. The site was busy and open for 7 days and then had to close
due to warm weather that melted the snow on the hill and created icy conditions.
• The Recreation Division is responsible for staffing the outdoor winter facilities. There
are a total of 43 staff that are working at the outdoor winter facilities during the winter of
2005-06. All staff attended an evening of training on December 8 to get ready for the
winter season.
Preschool
• The fall preschool session wrapped up on December 16, 2005. Over 350 children
participated in the fall session.
• A dance recital was held on December 7 in the performance studio at the Community
Center and the children in the preschool dance class performed beautifully for the
parents, countless video cameras and grandparents in attendance. Programming for
Saturday classes is in the works for the future.
• The second annual art show and silent auction was held on Thursday, December 15 at the
Eagan Community Center in the Oaks. 93 master pieces were displayed, and over 30
families attended. The auction raised $314.00, which will be used to order art supplies
for the programs.
• Winter preschool began on January 4. Classes for Kindergarten aged children were
offered and the participation numbers were disappointing. Planning and programming in
this area will be a continual process.
Seniors
• A Visit with Santa - Saturday, December 10
The Eagan Seniors hosted A Visit with Santa for the second consecutive year. More than
75 people from the community brought their kids to the Lone Oak Room of the Eagan
Community Center to see Santa and tell him their holiday wishes.
• In addition to the new art class and the second year of Santa's visit, the Eagan seniors
collected over 400 pairs of eyeglasses for needy families across the ocean, decorated the
Lone Oak Room for the holidays and celebrated with a potluck and gift exchange.
Teens
• The Eagan Teen Advisory Board has identified three core areas to focus their energy on.
1) Finalizing their coffee / beverage bar project;
2) The annual fundraising campaign; and
3) Marketing the Oasis which includes two components
a) working with the business class at Eagan High School on a target marketing
campaign; and
b) hosting a large event targeted at High School age youth to increase awareness of
the Oasis.
They have also revamped their Kids Night Out Program. It is now only $10 per child.
Dinner is not included but it is a fun filled night of play offered one Saturday a month
from 6:30-10 p.m. Mark your calendars for January 21, February 18, March 18, April 22
and May 20.
• Oasis Bring the Noise & Club Oasis - Katrina Koncert - 227 paid admissions and 30
volunteers (15 youth band members and 15 adult chaperones) helped make this event a
huge success. Club Oasis continues to be a popular dance night for Middle School age
youth.
6
• Daily attendance at the Oasis continues to be fairly low, with a handful of regulars.
However, special events are popular. Total attendance for the months of September
through December is 928. September started slow, numbers jumped from 160 in
September to 508 in November.
Youth and Family
• Youth Development after school collaborative programs are going well. This quarter at
Pilot Knob there are 50 youth involved. This is a significant increase in overall
participation numbers. As partners we are able to reach more children. We offered
outdoor games and sports, holiday crafts and memory books. Glacier programs began
shortly after Pilot Knob and the registration is slower this first quarter. Currently there
are 98 children enrolled in programs.
• BOGS Day - A day of supervised play for ages 6-12 occurred on November 25 and on
December 27 at the Community Center. This is an afternoon of games and playing in the
Blast.
Upcoming Recreation Events
• Planning for spring/summer leagues has begun. Information regarding the upcoming
season will be mailed out to returning and interested teams by the beginning of February.
• New Art Classes - New Year, new programs. The Eagan Art House is working closely
with program supervisors to offer art programs for youth with disabilities and seniors.
These two new programs are scheduled to start in January.

AGENDA ITEM: YOUTH SCHOLARSHIP POLICY CHANGES
TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION
PREPARED BY: JULI SEYDELL JOHNSON, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION
ITEM OVERVIEW: Consider modification to the existing scholarship program to align with eligible
funding support with Dakota County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program requirements.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY:
To date, Eagan Parks and Recreation has provided scholarship funding to assist youth participants
with financial needs. Presently, staff relies on the following limits and management procedures to
administer the program:
• The program is intended for youth under the age of 18.
• The fee is reduced to 50% of the registration fee and requires a simple written request for
scholarship assistance.
• A maximum of 4 programs per year per participant up to a $100.00 individual maximum
(whichever comes first).
• The family maximum cap is $500.00.
As a means to fund the scholarship program, staff implemented an initiative in 2002 to increase
non-resident fees for permitted use of the athletic sites to enable a portion of the proceeds raised to
be directed towards the youth scholarship program.
In the past, programs intended to reach low income households have been initiated through Youth
Development and have been funded in partnership with the Dakota County CDBG program. Staff
has learned that CDBG funds can be used for scholarship purposes when based on income
eligibility requirements. Requirements and controls are set by the CDBG program and management
of the program is guided using a self-certification form (see attachment 1). Parks and Recreation
will not be required to verify the information, only to report it using the certification form. This
approach will allow those with financial needs the opportunity to seamlessly integrate into any of
the city's current program offerings.
By moving to a more integrated scholarship program funding assistance can reach more of Eagan's
residents that might need that support.
ANALYSIS:
The Advisory Commission reviewed this proposal at a December workshop and indicated their interest
in moving this proposal forward to the Council for consideration. Based on the above history and
identification of CDBG funding eligibility, staff proposes to implement the following Youth
Scholarship program and related requirements in partnership with the CDBG program.
• Participants seeking scholarship funding will be required to complete the self-certification form
for record keeping and reporting requirements.
• To assure equitable distribution to those that qualify, each youth under the age of 18 will have a
maximum amount of $100.00 support with a family maximum of $500.
• Utilization of the non-resident fee proceeds would still be used if CDBG funding falls short of
demand.
ALTERNATIVE FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION:
1. Recommend to the City Council that a scholarship program be implemented with a $10,000
allocation of CDBG funding for this specific initiative.

AGENDA ITEM: F-2; GOPHER COMMONS - GOPHER RESOURCE
TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION
PREPARED BY: JULI SEYDELL JOHNSON, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION
ITEM OVERVIEW: Review the parks dedication, trails dedication, tree preservation, water quality and
wetlands issues that pertain to the Gopher Commons development.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY:
Gopher Resources is requesting approval of a Preliminary Subdivision of 21.1 acres to create
three lots and one outlot, located at the southwest corner of Yankee Doodle Road and Hwy. 149
in the NW 1/4 of Section 13.
The site consists of a single unplatted parcel. The property is vacant. For several years, a
concrete recycling facility operated on this site. The property is currently zoned Planned
Development and is designated in the Comprehensive Guide Plan for Limited Industrial land
uses.
The site is open with some wooded areas and a wetland on the east end of the property. The
property contains a steep slope up to the west, with otherwise gentle topography sloping
downward to the east. An area in the northern part of the site appears to have been used for
battery casing disposal in the past. The Soo Line Railroad abuts the east side of the property,
parallel to Hwy. 149.
The applicant proposes to construct three office/warehouse buildings totaling 145,000 sq. ft. on
this site. Access to the site is proposed from Yankee Doodle Road. A private easement exists
across the site to provide the property to the south (Thomson) access to Yankee Doodle Road.
PARKS AND TRAILS DEDICATION:
This proposal would be subject to a cash parks dedication and cash trails dedication for the proposed
three lots.
TREE PRESERVATION:
A tree inventory submitted with this application indicates that there are twenty-eight (28) significant
trees in the inventory for the entire site. All of these trees are located along the east property line,
adjacent to State Highway 149.
~Q,
Individual tree size and species break down is as follows:
Species Count % of Total Avg. Diameter
Cottonwood 21 75% 16"
Boxelder 3 10% 12"
Cedar 2 7% 15"
Oak 1 4% 6"
Elm 1 4% 16"
The development as proposed will result in the removal of a total of all twenty-eight (28)
significant trees (100 % of the total). According to the City of Eagan Tree Preservation
Ordinance allowable tree removal for this development is set at 30%.
The applicant has submitted a combination Tree Mitigation Plan and landscape Plan that
indicates the fulfillment of required tree mitigation through the installation of forty-two (42)
Category B trees.
The applicant has been required to re-submit a separate Tree Mitigation Plan, separate
Landscape Plan, and a combined Planting Plan. These specific plans will be required by the
time of final plat approval.
WATER QUALITY/WETLANDS:
This development is subject to City of Eagan water quality requirements.
The required volume and area of water quality treatment ponds are based on the impervious
proportion of proposed developments. The developer proposes to direct a majority (88 percent)
of the runoff to an on-site treatment pond that will be constructed.
Stormwater from the remaining 13 percent of the site is proposed to drain off-site. A cash
dedication in lieu of ponding would be required for this untreated stormwater drainage.
At its August 16, 2005 meeting, the Eagan City Council determined a depression area with
wetland conditions in southeast corner of the site to be exempt from state replacement
requirements
ALTERNATIVES FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION:
1. This development shall be responsible for a cash parks dedication.
2. This development shall be responsible for a cash trails dedication
3. The applicant shall fulfill the required tree mitigation through the installation of forty-
two (42) Category B trees, or an equivalent combination of Category A, B, or C trees.
4. To meet water quality requirements, one pond should be constructed to treat stormwater
from 20 acres. It should have minimum wet-pond volumes and areas according to
stormwater runoff and storage models that are to acceptable to the City. The treatment
ponds should be constructed according to NURP standards with a maximum depth of 10
feet and a 10:1 aquatic bench from normal water level.
5. In lieu of ponding to treat stormwater runoff from 2.8 acres, a cash dedication should be
required.

AGENDA ITEM: F-3; YANKEE SQUARE ADDTION-MFC PROPERTIES CORP.
TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION
PREPARED BY: JULI SEYDELL JOHNSON, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION
ITEM OVERVIEW: Review the parks dedication, trails dedication, tree preservation, water quality and
wetlands issues that pertain to the Yankee Square Addition development.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY:
MFC Properties is requesting approval of a Preliminary Subdivision of 4.99 acres to create
three lots, and a Planned Development Amendment to construct a third office building on this
site located at 3460 and 3470 Washington Drive, in the NE'/4 of Section 16.
The property was first platted in 1981. The site consists of two parcels, each containing a two-
story office building. Both buildings were constructed in 1981. Access to the site is available
from Washington Drive and Federal Drive.
The proposed subdivision creates three lots to allow for the construction of a third office
building. The applicant states that the "current parking is underutilized and the additional
square footage will accommodate the growth of existing tenants." Also, "the new building will
be similar in design to compliment the existing development." The concept plan shows a new
10,000 sq. ft. building on the south central portion of the site, and the parking lot is shared by all
three buildings. A proof of parking area is shown on the east end of the site adjacent to I-35E.
PARKS AND TRAILS DEDICATION:
Any parks or trails dedication that have not previously been met will be subject to a cash
dedication.
TREE PRESERVATION:
There are no tree preservation issues for this development
WATER QUALITY/WETLANDS:
Stormwater runoff from this proposed development would effectively be the same as from
existing conditions on the site. City water quality requirements have not been met previously,
however, because the original subdivision occurred before the requirements were established in
1990. Nevertheless, consistent with City policies and numerous previous practices, this
development is responsible to meet water quality requirements of the entire parcel, now that a
new subdivision of that parcel is proposed.
/z,
Requiring on-site treatment of stormwater for water quality purposes is not reasonable. Thus,
the development is responsible for a cash dedication that is equal to the cost of the area and
volume of such an on-site treatment pond, according to City standards and the current Fee
Schedule.
There are no wetlands associated with this site.
ALTERNATIVES FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION:
1. Any outstanding parks or trails dedication requirement will be satisfied through a cash
dedication.
2. A cash dedication in lieu of on-site water quality ponding shall be required for this
development.
